Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known so years ago in New
York as the ''Mad Poet" which show
that he had vein Of great shrewdness,
such as is often possessed by people
who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at table in a
New York hotel quietly eating his sim
pie dinner when two young men took
their seats at the same table. They were
not gentlemen in the best sense of the
word, and it occurred to them that they
might have some sport with the poor
poet. Consequently one of them said in
an unnecessarily clear tone:
II have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except McDon-
aid Clarke | have a great admiration
for his poems, and l would give great
deal to see the man.
When he paused, the mad poet leaned
forward and said with evident gratifica
ton:
"Sir, l am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see. y
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for a moment, and then,
drawing quarter from his pocket, he
laid it on the poets plate, saying,
That's for the sightP'
Clarke looked at the coin for an in
slant. and then, placing it in his pocket,
he took out "York shilling" 12H
cents This he handed to the young
man, saying gravely, "Ohildren half

ADeclded1x Novel claim.

A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native 5000 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
cles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that be could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the 5000 which he, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
1t is not stated that his expectations
were realized. -Watchman

The Minutest of shells.

Among the minute existences upon
the face of the globe that have been ele-
waited by means of the microscope into
an honored position of independence are
the foraminefera, mostly marine atoms
inhabiting many ohambered cells At
one time they were considered mollusca.
at another they were ranked among
the infusoria and eventually they were
settled comfortably in the subkingdom
protozoa. The oalcareous shells have
in the past formed vast deposits of
chalk. They are often today congregat-
ed as realms of sand
These animals are not always mi
mute, but generally they are subjects

Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A little
time before his death, being in a state
of destitution, he went one evening to
borrow e5 from his friend Garrick.
Upon arriving, he heard music and
knew that party was going on. He
heard the merry laughter, and, gently
replacing the uplifted knocker, retraced
his steps.
We never feel our miseries SO keenly
as when contrasted with the joys OF
others, and it is only then that we re-
alize Wordsworth's picture;
And homeless near thousand homes stood
And near thousand tables pinned for food.
Another story of this writer does not
evoke SO much sympathy. 1t was known
that Sterne used his wife very i'll, and
in talking with Garrick one day in fine
sentimental style of conjugal love and
fidelity he said, "The husband who be-
HAYES unkindly to his wife deserves to
have his house burn down over his
head
IF you think so,' said Garrick
quietly, 81 hope yours is well insured. F"

Caesars creek, on the Florida coast,
was named after famous old pirate
called Black Caesar, whose profession
added to the risks of marine insurance.
After the pirates the Florida wreckers
came, Of whom H A. Willoughby, in
his ''Across the Everglades. tells this
story:
A large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. No soon
er had she struck than the news spread
rapidly along the shore. The people for
30 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded steamer. Among
them were a number of Indians from
the Everglades, who CHANGED to be down
there and knew what wreck meant
to the wreckers.
The steamer, loaded with an assorted
cargo, began to break up, and barrels,
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks of wine, boxes of soap,
cases of bottles of wine and iron and a
hundred other articles The Indians
seized upon the wine and soon were in
a condition that allowed the white men
to secure the more valuable prizes.
The squaws struck a bonanza in a
case of vaseline. They thought it new

and, starting fire, fried pancakes in it.
