One Was Enough.

That illustrious astronomer, Profess
or Simon Newcomb, in an article on
"Science and the Government" in The
North American Review, gives an
amusing instance of the ignorance even
of the most prominent politicians re-
garding the work of the greatest scien-
fists:
ut is said that some 80 years ago the
British academy had printed few cop
les Of an important work for presenta'
zion to some foreigners who, from their
prominence in the scientific world, We're
best entitled to be honored with the
gift. Professor Airy, the astronomer
royal, was requested to make selec-
ton of the names. A few days after
he had sent in his list he was Informed
by the secretary of the admiralty that
my lords were struck by the number
of unknown names included and that
they wished to make an inquiry on the
subject Airy asked the secretary for
some specifications as to the names re-
ferred to.
"'Well, as an example, said the sec
retary. here is the name of Professor
G. f. Gauss of Gottngen. Who is heT
"'Gauss Is one Of the greatest math-
ematicians of the age and stands
among the two or three most eminent
masters in physical astronomy now liv-
ing. Who else do you wish to know

"'No one else. That will do replied

The work Of the "claQueurs" Is not,
as will be readily seen, intellectually
of a very high order. The chief Is sup
posed to have taken voluminous notes
at the rehearsals Of the play they are
seeing performed, to have consulted
with the manager, to have chatted
with the author-in short, to have
made n close study of the entire work
on which his brigade" Is to be en-
gagged. He Is the spring of the claque.
The men under his orders. scattered
here and there under the chandelier,
are merely parts of the machinery, and
they would no more think Of applaud
ing on their own account than they
would think of flying.
Once upon time there was daring
clauueur who did not wait for the sig
nal, but his short connection with the
profession-he was Immediately reliev-
ed Of his fauteuil for breach of disci
pline-hardly entities him to the honor
of mention in the same company with
eminent claqueurs The part he ap-
Ilauded happened to be the only good
scene in the whole play. His sense OF
art, unfortunately, was stronger than
his idea of duty. Seized with uncon-
trollable enthusiasm, he, the only man
Of taste among the claque, made the
house ring with applause. He Is now
one OF the most eminent dramatic crit
les in Paris.-Wide Wide World.

humanity In Turkeys.

"There's good deal of human nature
in a turkey" said farmer. "The 9th
er day while l was settin In the barn
door one of my turkeys come yerkln
along and peekin right and left and
finally spied a rag on the ground that
every turkey had been travelin over for
a week. Turkey picked 1t up and Slated
1t out. That minute every turkey In
the yard started for him. He run. 1t
evidently struck him all of a sudden
that he had got hold Of suthin that was
mighty valuable. He run, and he
lodged, and he ducked, and he run
some more. Every few minutes some
one Of them turkeys would get him by
the wattles or else by the rag, and
there would be tug of war. And Mt
last another turkey got the rag away,
and then there was another chase.
Guess them darn fool turkeys would
have been runnin the fat Off them
selves the next day If l hadn't set the
dog on 'em.
That's just the way with turkey.
Let any other one in the flock get hold
of suthin, and every one Of the blamed
fools will start for him or her and run
till they fairly drop,
And, Us have said, there Is n good
deal Of human nature right there.
