Cocks Crow Saved Them.

A singular story is told of a gallant
cock whose moral influence at a critical
moment during the battle of ST. Vim
cent helped to save a British man-of-
war from the hands of the enemy The
fowl in question formed part of the live
stock of the Marlborough vessel
which had suffered so severely that
her captain was considering the advisa-
bility of striking his flag. The ship
was entirely dismasted, while the chief
officers had been carried below severely
wounded, and the crew, without any
body to cheer them up, were beginning
to grow sullen under the heavy fire of
the enemy to which they were hardly
able TO respond.
At this emergency shot struck the
coop in which the fowls were confined.
The only surviving occupant. a cock,
finding himself at liberty, hutterod Up
and perched himself on the stump of
the mainmast and surveyed TIE scene of
carnage around him. Then, Tapping
his wings in defiance, he began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by three
hearty and exhilarating cheers from
the crew, who all had a good laugh,
and with spirits thus renewed contin-
uod the action with a vigor that lasted
until a turn in the battle rescued them
from their tight position on-Londcn

WhItewn.hed the Fenee.

There is near Cinnaminson a small
factory, where a young druggist makes
pills and tablets and lotions for the
wholesale trade Tablets are what he
manufactures mostly, grinding them
out of a huge machine by turning a
stin crank. A physician was looking
on one day, and sneered when the drug
gist, having made 40 tablets, stopped
painting for a rest and a smoke. Il
can beat that" he said. and he turned
the crank to the tune of $50 tablets, a
feat he was so proud of that he told
all his athletic friends about it, These
friends in turn called on the druggist
and tested their strength by making
tablets for him, while he looked on and
encouraged them with loud words of
praise. In the neighborhood of CHINA
minsOl now men do not explain how
strong they are by showing their mus
cles or by telling how many pounds
they can lift. They say: Il can make
200 tablets" Il can make 250," and
the like. The young druggist is max
ing q speciality of tablets now, and ev-
cry day he may be seen in his labora-
tory, seated in q rocking chair. with a
cigarette in his mouth and keeping
score, while the physicians, clergymen,
lawyers and business men of his ac-
quaintance try TO Guido one another in
turning the heavy crank of his enOr-
nous tablet machine. He keeps the
other wholesale druggists of Philadel-
phia guessing as 10 how he can sell
tablets so cheap. Phil. Record.

THE COLE VERDICT.

The finding of the jury in the case Of
Montyaloo A. Cole. the University Of
Pennsylvania student, who was charg-
ed with the wilful murder Of William
Montague on the night Of May II last
has created no end Of adverse comment,
not only among the public at large
but among the legal fraternity Of this
city. The case throughout has been a
remarkable one, the facts Of which the
public are thoroughly familiar with.
When Attorneys Townsend and Hayes
undertook to defend Montyaloo A. Cole
their fight seemed to be an almost
hopeless one. A plea of insanity was
set up, based upon the fact that many
Of the prisoners relatives, including
his father. had been afflicted with
alteration Of the mind Attorney
Townsend visited Canada, Coles home,
last Summer and secured the evidence
that was produced at the recent trial.
Il proved conclusively that certain
members OF the defendants family had
been Of unsound mind, and the attor-
neys asked that their client be acquit-
ted on the ground that he was insance
at the time he killed Montague. The
killing they did not deny.
Many persons attended the trial, and
it was almost the unanimous opinion
that, under the claims Of the defense
the jury would either return a
verdict as the prisoner stood indicted
murder in the first degree-or aoquii
him on the ground that he was insane
at the time he committed the crime al
legged. The public opinion was that
there could be no middle-road in IN,
case, That the deed was done in 8
premeditated manner by a person o.

who could not be held responsible foi

The Injustice of history.

The explorer may be lost not only in
Wildernesses or in ocean wastes, but
also in the depths of archives or Uut-of-
.he-way corners of Libraries, where his
unpublished records are slowed away,
forgotten, buried almost beyond human
ken until some delying antiquarian
turns over the musty and yellow pages
and becomes q discOverer himself. Here
IS an illustration or two of this inter-
ssting fact.
We know that the smallest Of the
continents, Australia, is separated from
The second largest island in the world
New Guinea, by Torres Strait. The ia
nous Capt. Cook thought he had made
q great discovery in 1170 when he
sailed through this strait and thus
proved that New Guinea was separated
from Australia, though On the maps
he island was shown as a part OF the
continent The fact is. however that
more than 150 years earlier the forgot
zen Spanish pilot Torres had made this
same discovery; and the Spanlards had
| 80 long concealed 1T as a state secret Ia
Their archives at Manila that they had
forgotten all about 1t themselves. One
llay late in the last century, when Eng
and was at war with Spain and had
seized Manila, an inquisitive man nam
I'd Dalrymplo improved the chance to
poke around among the archives, and
ais most interesting discovery was this
record of Torres work. If the Eng
ish had not been masters of Manila for
\ while the truth about this important
discovery might have been left for us

given to the man who had won them,

which separate the continent for the
ISLAND came to be known as Torres

LIVELY YOUNG pRuMFIsH.
Visitors Amused by It's Picking UD
and Splitting Out OF Pebbles.

visitors Amused by Its Picking I'd
and Splitting out OF Pebbles.
Last year there was placed in one Of
the gallery tanks on the saltwater side
at the Aquarium a drumfish that weigh
ed about three-quarters of a pound,
and there it remained until last week
when It was transferred to a larger tank
on the ground floor tier. It had doubled
in weight and came to be rather too
big to be kept in a gallery tank.
The drumfish was put in with the
spadefsh, which it resembles not at all
in shape. 1t appears to like the moro
spacious tank. With entire disregard
of company in the shape of visitors
looking on, it gapes, at times in a
manner that one might fear would dis
locate its jaws. But its gaping is simp-
ly a form of exercise for comforts
sake, OF it may be with some purpose
as to dislodge some foreign substance
that has become attached to its gills.
But the thing the drumfish does that
pleases people most is its picking up of
pebbles
The bottom Of the tank is covered with
a bed of pebbles or coarse gravel. More
or less animal life in minute forms at
taches to these pebbles, and the pebbles
become covered with minute forms of
vegetation. Both these forms Of life
the drumfish likes, and occasionally it
picks up mouthful of the pebbles and
mumbles them over and eats off what
ever is on them, just as a small boy
would hold in his mouth a lump of
candy or some kind Of candy drops to
suck on; but the drumish doesn't f.
nally swallow the pebbles. After a
time, when it has cleaned OFF all the nu-
triment from them, it gravely spits the
pebbles out; and to see the drumfish
splitting pebbles is always amusing to
those who happen to see it.
The drumfish is not the greatest at
traction in the Aquarium. but it is not
without its friends.-N. Y. Sun.
