Prosper Mickey Is Hurt.

Last Sunday evening Prosper Mickey
narrowly escaped death in an accident
which ha .pened at the l.. f. & w. de-
pot. He had pulled a truck, which was
loaded with trunks, close alongside the
track and was awaiting the arrival of
the train. One of the cars protruded
farther than he had allowed for and
struck the truck with considerable
force. At the same time the truck
returned the blow on Mr., Mickey's
back, sending him forcibly under some
freight cars standing permanently on
the side track. He was doubled up in
painful manner and received several
spralns, bruises and cuts, which were
distributed in different portions of his
body. He received a bad cash on the
head. Today he is confined to his
house, and will probably remain there
for some time.

(From the Cornhin.

Nfoni the tofnuliit
A very large proportion of the mistakes
of scholars and pupil-teachers alike are,
of course, due to cram pure and simple
What but "cramming'' in geography could
produce the following: THE equator is
an imaginary line, going round the earth
once in every twenty-four hours. The
Ganges rises TO the height of IL 900 feet in
the Himilaya Mountains. 1t flows along
the chain about 200 miles. The river itself
is called the Main River; as you go fur
ther you come to a place where it empties
itself into the sea. This is called the
mouth of a river. and if 1t has several,
like the Ganges, they are called Sunder-
bunds.''
To turn to historical bulls and blunders.
My notebook contains the following ex-
tracts. which show very shadowy notions
of historoy on the part of scholars and
pupilteachers during the seventies: Jul
ius Caesar invaded Britain 55 B. c.. and
converted the natives to Christianity"
Richard l went to Normandy and was
shot through the eye by a Mormon while
capturing the Castle of Chaluz'' THE
Salic law was an enactment that provided
that no one descending from a female
should ascend the throne" This is the
girls answer; so is the following: Queen
Mary died Of dropsy. Her death was
greatly hastened by the neglect of her hus-
band, Philip, Emperor of Germany, who
afterward became King of France. Feel
ing weary of the English people she re-
turned to France, and died at Madrid. At
the post-mortem examination of her body
the word Calais was found engraved on
her heart Of course, this last instance
is a clear case of a confusion Of ideas.
The following short biography of Sir
Isaac Newton is harder of explanation:
"Sir Isaac Newton was the greatest orator
and statesman England ever produced
His best oratorio is called the Messiah.
His essay on criticism and essay on man
are the best didactic poems in the Ian
guage; his Duncaid and other satires have
never been equaled." Can it be that this
young lady (for the fair sex is again re-
sponsible for this biographical bewilder-
ment} got up what she thought was a
sketch of the life, and works of Sir Isaac
Newton from textbook, out OF which the
leaves intervening between the letters n
and P had been torn out, and that she had
been thus innocently attributing to Newton
what related to Pope? Pope's version of
Virgil's Polio might be said to have some
reference to the Messiah. The candidate
recollected that the Messiah was an ora
torio, and then; perhaps, put to herself
the question, What ought to call writer
of oratorios? and answered herself to her
satisfaction: Why, of course, an orator
but this is the nearest that we can go to
analyze the ingredients OF this bographi-,
cal pudding stone.

Leiperville, Pa, yesterday which show
Abe Ulman in a new role. Ulman while
doing his road work for his coming mi. l

away horse as to the right of way and won
the argument. The horse was attached 10
a dayton, in which were a woman and
three children. McCue, who was with UI-
man. advised Ulman to clear the road as
the fiery steed bore down upon them, but
the Baltimore boy did not see it in that
light and performed his deed of yalor at
the risk of broken head and bones. He
came out whole with profuson of thanks
from the rescued and regards the transac-
ton as happy omen of his engagement
with Fisher II is probable Joe Cans will
go up today to see how Ulman is progress
