"yVho Goes Home?"

There is nothing more amusing per-
haps in all the quaint and curious Gus
toms of the house Of commons than the
strange ceremony which marks the ter
mination of its every sitting. The mo-
ment the house is adjourned stentorian
voiced messengers and policemen cry
out in the Hobbies and corridors, "Who
goes homer" These mysterious words
have sounded every night for centuries
through the palace of Westminster.
The custom dates from time when it
was necessary for members to go home
in parties accompanied by linksmen for
common protection against the footpads
who infested the streets of London. But
though that danger has long since pass
ed away the question, "Who goes
home!" is still asked night after, night
during the session of parliament. No
reply is given, and none is expected

Billy Mason as a Boy Joker.

Senator William f. Mason always
has been joker. Even when a school
boy he never let a chance pass without
having his fun at the expense of some
one else.
When he was public school pupil,
the boys knew as much about "crib-
bing" as they do now, aud it was moth
ing new for them to conceal needed in
formation on their cuffs or inside their
watches.
One day when Willie Mason was tax

er observed him take out bis watch ev-
cry minute or two. The pedagogue grew
suspicious Finally he strobe slowly
down the aisle and stopped in front OF
Willio's desk.
"Let me sec your watch" he com
manded.

The teacher opened the front lid. He
looked somewhat sheepish when he read

But he was shrewd man. He was
not to be thrown off the scent so easily.
He opened the back lid. Then he was

blanked place for natural curiosities

ter OH my shoulder to shoot few jack
rabbits for practice. climbed up on
little plateau where the alkali was
thicker than paint on a soubrette and
had trailed along for couple OF hours
without seeing anything when big
yellow bird, like pheasant, chuckled
at me from beneath bush at the side
Of the ravine. The creature was so
friendly that thought could bat him
over or perhaps catch him alive. leap
ed at him and when he side stepped
fell into the bush. AS i scrambled to
my feet l was flabbergasted to find that
brown shrub burning merrily beside
me. had just time to dodge the flame
and in doing so struck another plant
of the same variety. In an instant, with
a little swish, it, too, sprang into flame.
i turned, horror stricken, to run, and
dashed straight into third shrub.

dropping my gun, l sprang away fran
tically through the underground, leay-
ing behind me trail of fire like COM

ran, but at last, exhausted, l fell to the
ground and in few moments the bushes

cred, / crawled carefully TO the trail,

Saved by q Cat.

Sir Edward Osborne, lord mayor Of
London in his time, bought an ancient
house in Yorkshire, and sent his chill
dren thither. There were two boys The
elder dutifully obeyed when summoned
to his lessons one morning in a turret,
bat the younger, lettering, "happed to
light upon cat which he delighted to
play with and crept after her to catch
her under table in the room which
was covered over with q carpet hanging
down to the floor" Thus he disappear
ed, and next instant q terrible rush of
wind overthrow the turret, in which
his brother and the tutor sat at work,
crushing them to death. Surprising that
both her SONS were there, the mother
fell into commissions, and we imagine
the scene. One of the maids, running
in distracted manner from room TO
room, caught sight of the small boy
peeping from under the table, with the
cat in his arms, snatched him up and
bore him in ecstasy to his mother, he
only crying, Il pray thee, pray thee,
do not whip me!' So it may be said
that the Duke of Leeds now owes his
existence to q cat.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Down every valley a stream must flow
in the rainy season, its size depending
upon the area of the ground that drains
into it. A small stream is feeder, or
one of several feeders, to a larger
stream, whose drainage area is the to-
tai of those of its small stream feeders.
The larger stream is, again, but feeder
to one still larger, and so ON till the
great river is reached that carries the
water from the whole accumulated
drainage areas to the sea. In each little
valley, in each larger valley, in each yet
larger valley again, one or more tanks
can be constructed, and thus the drain
age area supplying tank may vary
from less than one square milo 10 100

RICHES IN TRIPLES.
Some Big Fortunes That Have Come From
Little Inventions.

Some Big Fortunes That Have Come From
Little Inventions.
1t has become almost an axiom with
the majority that larger fortunes are to
be raised from some simple invention
than from difficult and expensive inven-
tions that involve great outlay of
money to manufacture. This is to a
certain extent true. A certain Ameri-
can patent for fastening kid gloves has
yielded q fortune of several hundred
thousand dollars for its fortunate owner,
and the inventor of a collar clasp enjoys
$40, 600 royalty year as the reward
for his endeavor. A new kind of sleeve
button has made $50, 900 in five years
for its patentee, and the simple twisting
Of safety pins in such q way that there
is no possible danger of the point stick
ing in the child promises to enrich it's
owner beyond any of his early dreams
of wealth. A man one day turned a
piece of wire SO as to hold cork more
securely in bottle and forthwith some-
body saw brilliant idea and patented
the modern wire stopper holder, which
is now used annually on several million
bottles. The accidental bending of a
hairpin by woman to prevent it from
sliding out of her hair so easily produc-
ed fortune for her husband, who i'm
mediately saw the possibilities of a
orinkled hairpin for women.
Instances could be multiplied indef-
nitely of large fortunes being made from
small inventions, but fortunately for
those inventors who make life study
of intricate problems of mechanics and
disdain to waste their talents upon
trivial, popular articles of the day
there is often also ample reward held
in store for the products that take years
to produce and which revolutionize ex.
listing methods Of industry and me-
chanics
Edison has reaped honors and riches
of princely character from his discov-
cries; Mccormick has realized in bis
reaper the fortunes of millionaire; the
Corliss engine brought honors and dec
orations to it's inventor and enabled
him to amass great fortune in few
years; Professor Bell found in his tele-
phone not only the contamination of his
early hopes and ambitions, but sub
stantial pecuniary reward; harveyized
steel armor has become synonymous
with the inventors name, and it brings
an annual income of huge proportions
to its discoverer; Elias Howe, the in
ventor of the sewing machine, realized
over $4,000, 000 from his inventions,

A Study of Racine.

In Racine's tragedy men dominate
events. They are what they make them
selves. But tragedy demands that pas.
sion dominate will, and since his age
accepted more readily the dominance of
passion in women than in men his great
characters are nearly all women, and
they have certain family resemblance.
The maidens Iphigenie, Eryphile, Mon
ime, Junie-all resemble Hermione as
sisters, like, yet different. while against
the more experienced victims of passion
Athalie, Roxane. Berenice, Phedre, An
dromaque, stand out in unique dignity.
These women appeal to us with far
more tragic intensity than Joad or Hip
polytus, Bajazet or Mithridates, Orestes
or Pyrrhus. And thus, as Lanson gal
lantly observes, "from Racine dates the
empire of woman in literature, I" at least
in France.
1t was said that Racine did not in
vent tragic combinations, as did Cor
nellie, and that is true. Far from add
ing to tradition, he simplified it. He
sought no novel situations, but endeav-
ored to draw from natural ones their
full import, which was poetic invention
of higher kind, and in this the rules
so aided him that, as we see from his
comments on the poetics Of Aristotle,
they seemed to him dictated quite as
much by reason as by authority. Sc

'THe RIDDLE OF THINGS THAT ARE.

We walk In world where no man reads
The riddle of things that are,
from tiny fern in the valleys heart
To the light OF the largest star,
Yet we know that the pressure of life IL
hard
And the silence Of death is deep
AS we fall and rise on the tangled way
That leads TO the gate of Sleep.
We know that the problems of sin and pain
And the passions that lead to crime
Are the mysteries locked from age to age
In the awful vault of Time,
Yet we lift our weary feet anal strive
Through the mire and mist to grope
And find ledge ON the mount of Faith
In the morning land of Hope.

On Collegiate Physical Training.

1t seems idle to expect that any sys-
tematic physical training worthy of the
name will be taken up by the mass of
students on the voluntary system. Diff
dence, inadvertence, love of ease, dis
traction in many directions, excessive
and morbid devotion to study in some,
mere boyish laziness, ignorance of how
to begin and natural sluggishness and
Wis inertia in others will prevent it I'M
less the work is laid out and required.
It ought of course to he part Of their
education, not an accident Of their REQ
reation or passing incident Of their
feverish and overweight thirst for
glory. There is no greater boon for boys
than to have their work laid out for
them. and the word required" has no
terrors at all for them, but quite the
contrary, if the work itself is obviously
beneficial. They welcome it. Being a
fundamental and nearly universal need,
physical training should not be the sub
ject of election, but should be required
of all except invalids and cripples, with
election only as to the kind and form Of
exercise in the large field from which
choice can be made.
The builder of ten story modern
building may have the largest freedom
of choice as to architectural style, ma
terial, ornament and internal arrange
ments above the ground, but be can
have no alternative as to his founda-
tions, and the builders Of our growing
youth or the youth themselves should
certainly have none in the same partic'
