A Stone Tint Grows.

A West Gouldsboco (Me.) man tells
a queer story about stone that grows.
1t is an eggshaped, tlinty looking rock,
which he picked up in cove near his
home over thirty years ago. Then 1t
weighed about twelve pounds, and from
its odd shape was kept in the house and
on the doorstep as curiosity. AS the
years passed the stone increased in
size. Six years ago it weighed forty
pounds. The owner swears it Is the
same stone, and tells a likely story,
with numerous witnesses to back him

Theodore +. Seward, the big hearted

tells a good story of a little boy wha
had reached the multiplication table
in the course Of bis education. One
night he was sitting anXiously over
a paper Of figures, when his mother
came along and said:
Johnnie, do you find your arith
metic very hard"
Yes, indeed, mamma, l do," was
his reply. 1T was SO awful hard that
I prayed to God to help me, but Hes

An ACCommo odating Master.

During the great strike few years
ago among the employees Of the North
British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers. Upon one occasion young
fellow was put upon a section in Fife.
One day he ran some distance past
a station, and upon putting back he
went as far the other way. The sta
tion master, seeing him preparing for
another attempt to the great amuse-
ment of the passengers on the plat
form, shouted:
Just bide whaur ye are, Tummas.
Well shift the station."

"They have very effective way OF
putting the brakes on inebriates up in
Manitoba" said Mr.. o. A. Bemis OF
Minnesota at the Ebbitt.
When a man has been convicted
twice or thrice for drunkenness In the
local police courts, he is sentenced to
wear a brass collar, which Is a plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he Is per-
son to whom it Ia forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge OF disgrace can get a
drink anywhere, for the law Is strict
ly respected The result Is that IN
many cases an entire cure Is effected
in the individual. Whenever the au-
thorities think that the collar penalty
has been endured long enough the col
lar comes off and the citizen is at lib
erty to get drink"

ENLLAND WINS
The inter- collegiate Coutests-The e
Final Event Necessary TO Decide the
Contest Great Enthusiasm Of the
Britlshers over the victery

London, July 22.-England won out in
the inter-university sports at the
Queens Club grounds today. but the
American team from Yale and Har-
ward made a splendid accounting. An
immense crowd witnessed the great Sc
ries of contests of picked athletes from
both sides of the Atlantic.
The heat OF the day was tropical and
following a nights rainfall left Lon
don under a mist. Masses OF the blue
and crimson were in evidence about
the crowded stands while the entire
grounds were brilliant with the flags
of all nations and the colors of Yale.
Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge, and
the Prince of Wales was a prominent
figure and the host of spectators was
noteworthy one. The track was in ex-
cellent condition.
The American team woke up at
Brighton in fine condition and break
tasted before o'clock, taking the 8
O'Clock train to London. Under Stew
ard Wendelrs instructions not a word
was said by a single man as to the
probable outcome, but faces bespoke
their confidence.

taneOuSly the hamme" throwing COM
menced at the centre of the grounds. 1t
soon became evident that the events
would tie, and when the English flag
rose for the jumpers and was followed
by the American success in the ham
mer throwing both sides had chance
to give vent to their cheers. The three
mile run was the deciding event, and
when on the last lap it was seen that
Workman, of the Oxford and Cam
bridge team, would win and England
thereby gain the odd event, there was
a scene of wild enthusiasm, conserva-
tive Englishmen and women rushing
on the field to acclaim the victor.
A dense crowd Instantly surrounded
Workman, and it was with difficulty
that the stewards succeeded in making
way for him to the pavilion. Here
another scene of frantic excitement
took place, members of the English
team rushing forward and crying:
| well run Workman" while on. the
field the crowds cheered and waved
hats and handkerchiefs. Workman was
led to the top balcony of the pavilion
and there bowed to the enthusiastic
thousands.
After the contests, E. ]. Wendell, the
Harvard steward, said: mo work of
explanation or excuse can come from
any friend of the American team. We
were in the handsomest spirit and lost
fairly on our merits or dement's. Ger
