Lord Ke.vin's Reprimand.

The eminent English scientist. Lord
Kelvin. who for many years has beld
the chair Of natural philosophy at Glas-
gov University. Is the subject Of an
amusing story Illustrative OF the singu-
lar force Of habit.
As q professor Of science, Lord Kel-
vim can use long words in such fOrmid-
nble array as to paralyZe the average
layman. but the Glasgow studen, Is
made Of sterner stuff.
During q course of lectures on mag
netiDm, he once defined an ideal mag
net a. "an infinitely long. infinitely
thin, uniform and uniformly and longi-
tudinally magnetized bar" and the
misguided students vociferously cheer
ID, which caused the venerable profes-
vor to say:
"Stlence!'
This definition was made and cheer
ID. with the usual repr;nand. frequent
" during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion. however. the students did
not cheer. but Lord Kelvin promptly
tapped out "Silencew as before.

A German inventor has discovered

THE LITTLE ARaAonAsN.

But . whlte-haired mother gazing the~..
And yearningly thinking Of him.
Sees through the dusk Of the long ago
The bloom Of her boys sweet facs,
A he rocks so merrily to and fro.
With a laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book In his hand,
Sometimes q pencil and slate,
And the lesson Is hard to understand.
And the Asurss haPd TO mate:
But she sees the nod of his fathers head
So proud OF the little son,
And she hears the word SO often said,
mo fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days. the dear sweet
days,
When 4 child with sunny hair
Was here to scold, to kiss and to praise.
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back In the busy years
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears,
To his place In the battles van.
But now and then in a wistful dream,
Like picture out of date.
She sees a head with a golden gleam
Bent o'er n pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day.
The day Of her young life's Spring.
When the small armchair stood just ip
the way.
The center Of everything.

One Of the most taxing Of the bee in
dustries Is the making Of wax, accord
ing to Anna BOtsfOrd Comstock. who
describes the operation In the Chautau-
quan thus: Bees gorge themselves
with honey. then hang themselves up
In festOOns or curtains to the hive, and
remain quicsccnt for hours; after a
time wax scales appear. forced out
from the wax pockets. The bees re-
move these scales with their natural
forceps. carry the wax to the mouth
and chew 1t fol q time, thus changing
it chemically. Thus 1t may be seen
that waxmaking Is a great expense to
the colony. for 1t costs not only the
time of the workers. but it Is estimated
that twenty-one pounds Of honey Is re-
quired to make one pound Of wax.

And she doesn't mean a word Of what

To buy a reel of cotton or stamps for

And it's much against her wishes that
she's set to wash up dishes.
While to speak of darninY stockings is
enough to turn her pale.
In fact. she wants to shirk everything

And the only thing she does enjoy. %

Is to take her doll and book. and withiD

To read Of elves and fairies. and dream

The King and the Page

Frederick the Great one day, sittins

times. but nobody came In response to
tient, he opened the door Of his ante
chamber, and discovered his page fast
asleep. The king. much annoyed, was
about to awaken him. when he discOv-
cred a written paper hanging out Of
the boys pocket. Kings are not above
curiosity any more than ordinary NOR
tails. and without scruple his Majesty
softly drew out the paper without
awakening the sleeper and read It, He
found It to be letter of thanks from
the pages mother. In which she blessed
her boy for his thoughtfulness and de-
vOtion in sending her the greater part
Of his wages. 1t had been a great help
to her. she wrote, and heaven would
certainly reward him If he continued
faithful In the service Of his king.
After he had read this. Frederick
went back to his study and brought a
rouleau of ducats. which he slipped
with the letter into the pocket of the
boy. Then, closing the door Of the an
techamber. he went back to his desk
and rung the bell with such violence
that he soon awoke the page. who hur-
ried into the room.

The poor lad, much frightened. tried
to stammer out a confession or excuse,

We seated ourselves upon the moor ana
lost no time, but worked diligently. we
were satisfied to 1nd how late II WAS
when my aunt. Mrs. Todd. on her way
to her room. tapped on our door. telling
us It was time to be In our beds.

until we thought everybody was asleep
then we relighted our candle and work

hung up the finished garments win i
thrill Of delight.
Our sleep was too short to be satis

fast in time. As soon as II was over.
we rushed to our room. Mary was al
ways quick In her movements. but now
she made uncommon haste. and was
dressed and out upon the street as
reached the front hall door.
One moment and we should have
been safe; but as fate would have II
