Although the Inhabitants of the
earth are not perceptibly affected by
the wandering motion of the north
pole, yet IL n aphenomenon of unceas-
ting interest to astronomers, and on
January 1 a new plan for investigating
1t went into effect, says Youths Com
panion. The motion, which Is sugges-
tive Of the wabbling of top, is ex-
.tremely slight when the vastSsize OF
the earth Is taken into account Since
1890 the north pole has never been
more than 35 feet away from the place
IL should occupy If the earth's axis
of revolution never varied in direction.
But the motion Is erratic, and it's cause
is obscure. The new plan of observs-
ton was formed by the Internation
,Geodetic association. It provides four
observing stations, all close to the
thirty-ninth degree OF north latitude,
and all within 500 feet of the same
parallel These are at Midzusawa,
Japan; Csrloforte, Sardinia; Gathers
burg, Nd, and Udah, Cal. Precisely
similar observations with, exactly the
same kind of zenith telescopes win be
made at each station on carefully Sc
lected stars. Any change in the direc-
ton of the pole reveals itself by a shift
Of the stars.

While he was talking Isaac had come

said:

PolItsne.. In Chi,ar.n

Respect for ones elders is a vir-
tue which has been pushed somewhat
out of sight In the rush and excitement
of American life. A pretty survival of
stately old customs is that of curt
sying when little girl or young lady
is introduced to an older woman. This
habit, says the Troy Times, has al
ways been cherished in some Virginian
families since the days of Lady Wash
ington, and it Is now being revived.
A tiny Philadelphian walking in the
streets with an older girl or school
friend is met by a matron, who stops
to speak to the older girl: "And who is
your little friepd?" asks the lady. AS
soon as the school girl pronounces the
child's name the little one drops an old
fashioned curtsy, thus saluting the old
er lady. There is a quaint grace In this
habit, very pleasing to older women.
Teach your little maids habits of DO
likeness early, and you begin to ft
them for society. The "curtsyinQ
child" is welcome figure In social in
tsrcourse.

Occasionally a man, II he is extreme.
~ careless and awkward, will lab his
finger into his eye when he is washing
his face, but one has to go long way
to find a man who, having lost one eye
by such clumsiness, pushes In the other,
says the New York, Press. A grocer's
assistant In London, Al years old, while
washing his face put his finger into
his right eye. The eyeball became in
famed and was taken out. This was in
1896. Four years later he ran a finger
nail into the. other eye in the same
manner, causing an even more serious
wound. The surgeons, who seemed to
have no hesitation about taking out
the other eye, wanted to save this one
If possible. and so they postponed the
operation to see if sight even in a small
degree couldn't be retained. There was
an element of luck in the matter for
the grocer, for he was insured in an
accident company, and the corporation
agreed to pay the claim at once without
waiting to see IL the eye eventually
could be saved.

Lauine.. a Disease.

The lazy man can find consolation
In the conclusion arrived at by q
French scientist after investigating
the phenomenon of laziness. This
scientist declares that laziness IL es-
sentially mild, chronic neurasthenic
state, which, like most neurosey OF
this character, Is largely hereditary
1t is consolingly stated that lazy per.
sons are almost always neuropaths;
Hence they are not responsible fol
Their unfortunate condition. This
places laziness and inactivity, along
with inebriety, kleptomania and vari.
GUS other perversions, as real diseases
or the nervous system, and not sim.
ply inhrmities of will. The next ster
along the line will be the invention OF
a serum for the cure of this condition

Oh, brothers OF mine In the gentle art,
Whose dearest prize is a well-flled creel,
who know the thrill OF the anglers heart
! When the 1.-the rod whips to the whirring

a song 1 sing and a rhyme I bring;
Not of the pools where the salmon hatch,
But memory fond OF the village pond,
And the common fish we used to catch.
The fish we caught in the golden haze
OF the boyhood summers long ago,
When our bare feet tripped through the
grassy ways
To the nook where the lilies used to
grow:
Where the sunbeams played through the
willows shade,
And danced as the soft breeze shook the
And the sound we heard was the song of
bird
Or the drowsy hum of the humble bee.
The fish We caught with the homemade
Our jack-knives cut from the slender
birch,
And, OIL the glory that filled our souls
With each new sinner or wee red perch :
And when our fun, like the day, was done,
And we heard the chorus the crickets
Wed idly roam through the twilight home.
Where mother waited to praise our
string.
oh. brother anglers. we've fought It out,
\ BY oceans surges or mountain glen,
With lordly tarpon or gamy trout,
Full many a time and oft since then;
But the days OF old were the days of gold.
And never again that sport Well match
The care-free Joy OF the happy boy,
And the common fish that we used 20
catch.

Recent observations tending ia
show that ants possess sense OF

column. Prof. Metcalf, OF the WON
ans college, Baltimore, adds some in,
teresting testimony on the subject in
e letter to Science. One of his stu
dents discovered that colony OF
black ants was thrown into a state OF
great excitement by sounds of one
particular pitch. Other sounds did
not affect them, but when the pc
culiar note was struck, either on vio-
lin or with whistle, the ants would
become excited, and If the sounds
were continued would grow frantic
some of them falling into a water
moat surrounding their nest. Ants OF
other species paid no attention to the
sounds.

that Names David Harum came into

old wagon with his back bent and his
elbows on his knees. The horse that
he drove had hip-bones that looked
like broken springs in a hair-cloth

man was driving with a knotted rope
tied to the end of a,stick.

kept saying, and Ebenezer may have
heard him and he may have felt the slap
of the knotted rope. but if he did there
was NO symptom to indicate it either
In the cant of his ears or the accelera-
ton of his gait.
The old man suddenly pulled up. No,
he didn't pull up. He said: whoa"
The old horse always carries one ear
back to hear a whoa. He stopped SO
suddenly that the old man was pre-
cipitated forward. But he caught the
dasher with both hands and was able
to save himself from falling onto his
nose on the road.
As he hung there, he said to the man
standing on the sidewalk:
Most willing boss ever had, Isaac.

is to say Whoa and there we ere. No
