Sleeping His Life Away.

"There goes the happiest man In the
borough" said Norristown barber
pointing out Of the window to a little,
elderly man, dressed gayly, who walked
with his eyes fixed complacently on his
new but old fashioned yellow shoes.
THAT fellow" continued the barber,
became rich suddenly, after a life of
hard, uninterrupted work. Now that he
has money, he knows of nothing better
to do than sleep. He sleeps all the time,
and it is running his health. In the morn
ing he comes down to breakfast at his
boarding house, messes with the food a
little, and then, as soon as his bed Is
made, skates up stairs for snooze. At
dinner he tries hard to eat, but his appe-
tte is bad. He plays with his food and
blows to the other boarders about the
fine maps he takes while they are work
ing hard. and if they pretend to be ell
vious he shows that he is delighted. OF
course he sleeps all the afternoon, but at
night, although be denies this, it is well
known that he rests poorly. +
Il suppose it is better if you are rich
to ruin your health by sleeping too much
rather than by drinking or dissipating in
the other ways, but just to sleep seems
to me foolish thing to do, because when
you sleep all the time you might as well
be dead. "-Philadelphia Record.

Buryins . Rationale Alive.


1t would not seem a very easy thing Il
bury a snake alive. but that Is what q
traveller through western Indian Terri
tory saw some prairie dogs doing. Tbs
story Is told in Forest and Stream.
The traveller was resting under tree
when he noticed a commotion among
some dogs near him. They would run
up to certain spot, peep at something
and then scamper back. Looking more
closely, he saw 10 to 20 dogs about a
rattlesnake. which presently went into
one Of the dogs holes.
No sooner had it disappeared than the
little fellows began to push in dirt. evi.
IDENTIFY to fill up the hole. By the time
they had pretty well covered the entrance
the snake stuck his head up through the
dirt, and every dog scampered off to a
safe distance, all the time barking.
The snake slowly crawled to another
hole about rod distant and went In.
Then forward came the dogs again, and
all went to work to push up earth to the
hole. This time they succeeded and com.
petely covered the entrance. This done,
they proceeded to beat the earth down,
using their noses to pound 1t with. When
1t was quite hard. they went away. The
traveller examined their work and was
surprised to find that they had packed
the earth In solid with their noses and
had sealed the snake inside.

The Dramatic Part Centrifusal At

"As every schoolboy knows, the tend
fly away from the confer, by the opera
tion Of centrifugal attraction" remarks
a well known officer. 1.-THE consequence
is that train of cars, going around a
curve at a good gait. will be certain to
hug the outside rail. and II 1t happens to
jump the track one would naturally in
fer that It would be on the side where
the pressure is greatest. An incident,
based on this principle. played a star
role In what was possibly the most dra-
matte passage Of the entire civil war I
refer to the pursuit Of Andrews raiders
when they made their desperate dash
through north Georgia to destroy railroad
communication with Chattanooga. The
raiders stole a freight train at Marietta,
Ca. and started north at top speed.
They were pursued almost Immediately
by a detachment of Confederates on Il
locomotive, and then ensued the most
thrilling running fight on record.
"Fiule and again Andrews and his men
attempted to obstruct the track behind
them. but they were so hard pressed that
they were Obliged to take to their train
before they could do the work. At last
they made squirt that gave them a few
moments breathing space and tore
short section of rail out Of curve. Their
pursuers were coming on full tilt, and it
seemed absolutely certain that they
would be dtched when they reached
that point: but, incredible as it may ap-
pear. they passed straight over the gap
and held their way as If nothing had hap
pened. The explanation Of the seeming
miracle was simply that the raiders, In
the excitement Of the moment, had taken
the rail from the inside of the outside Of
the curve. and when the locomotive
swung around it was going 10 fast that
all Its weight was practically on the
sound iron. In other words, centrifugal
attraction saved the day, and, instead Of
burning the Chattanooga bridge. An
drews was caught and hanged as spy.
"If it hadn't been for that fatal blum
der in removing the rail- the raiders would
doubtless have accomplished their pur-
pose. and what such disaster would
have meant to the Confederacy gives the
imagination unlimited leeway for specu-

Tennyson was exceedingly chary
throughout his life of replying to criti-
cism or clearing up obscurities in his
works, but letter of the poet shows that
on occasion he departed from his custom
airy rule. The letter in question was ad-
dressed to Mr.. Edward Campbell Tainsh
in acknowledgment Of copy Of his
"Study of the Works of Alfred Tenny-
son." the following lines having been
cited by Mr.. Tainsh as an instance Of
mechanical supernaturalism:"
Though family. merrily, far and far away,
lie heard the pealing Of his parish bells,
Tennyson replied: "A friend of mine told
me that he had heard his own parish bells
in the midst of an eastern desert-not
knowing at the time it was Sunday. He ac-
counted for it to me by stating that there
was ringing in his ears which his old
associations nodded unconsciously into
the sound he heard. There Is nothing
really supernatural mechanically or 9TH
erwise, in T.. AS hearing bells, though
the author most probably did intend the
passage to tell upon the reader mystic

Herbert Spencer tells us in one short
pregnant sentence that the function Of
education is to prepare US for complete
living.
A true chord Is touched by Sydney
Smith when he urges the importance Of
happiness as an aid to education. Me
says, III you make children happy now,
you make them happy 20 years hence by
the memory of it."
Equally wise are the words of Sir John
