There's good deal of human nature
In turkey" said farmer. 1.-The 9th
er day while | was settin In the barn
door one of my turkeys come yerkln
along and peekin right and left and
finally spled a rag on the ground that
every turkey had been travelin over for
week. Turkey picked it 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 at
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 hadn't set the
dog on 'em.
That's just the way with a 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, as | have said, there is a good
deal of human nature right there

THE DEATH OF THE WORLD.
Scientists Fail TO Agree ms to How
the End VIII Come.

Scientists seem to agree that the
earth some day Is TO be destroyed by
gigantic cataclysm. but fail to agree
upon the how" DR.. Henry Smith
Williams, In writing In Harper's
Monthly on "Some Unsolved Scientific
Problems" says:
"If so much uncertainty attends
these fundamental questions as to the
earth's past aud present, 1t is not
strange that open problems as to her
future are still more numerous. We
have seen how. according TO Professor
Darwln's computations, the moon
threatens TO come back to earth with
destructive force some day. Yet Pro-
fessor Darwin himself urges that there
are elments of fallibillty In the data
involved that rob the computation of
all certainty.
"Much the same thing Is true OF per-
haps all the estimates that have been
made as to the earth's ultimate fate.
Thus 1t has been suggested that, even
should the suns heat not forsake us,
our day will become month long and
then year long; that all the water of
the globe must ultimately filter into its
depths and all the air fly off into
space, leaving our earth as dry and as
devoid of atmosphere as the moon, and,
finally. that ether friction, II 1t exists.
or, in default of that, meteoric friction,
must ultimately bring the earth back
to the sun.
"But In all these representations
there are possible compensating factors
that vitlate the estimates and leave
the exact results In doubt. The last
word of the cosmic science Of our CEN
fury is prophecy of evil-if annihila-
ton be an evil. But 1t is left for the
science of another generation to point
out more clearly the exact terms In
which the prophecy is most likely to
be fulfilled"

Gladafone's Levity.

While Mr.. Gladstone interested his
audiences immensely by his endless
flow of animated remarks and brilliant
historical criticisms. he failed altogeth-
er to convey to them the sense Of great
ness. Every one left his society pleas
cd. amused. perhaps delighted. But
cannot imagine anybody quitting 1t I'm.
pressed with reverence There was In
deed leyity sometimes observable
about him which was very antagons-
tic to reverence.
DIR. Martineau himself told me how
disappointed he was when. meeting
him after his great return to power
he said to him. what an opportunity
you have for the great work before
you-the consolidation of the empire.'
Mr. Gladstone shrugged his shoulders
and said: "Oh. don't know about that.
The clerks in the colonial office have
got too much to do already. "-Contem-

A Dinner of Mule and Axle Grease.

= va "AeAt anu oECuhe.
The following is an incident of the
siege of Ladysmlth narrated by Sir
William MacCormac: AN officer re-
lated an incident which will serve to
illustrate the lengths to which things
had gone as regards food. A shell fell
into the mule lines one afternoon, kill
ing one mule. In spite of other shells
following the first one In rapid success
sion, SO as to make occupation of the
spot very dangerous, the men In the
vicinity made rush at the mule like
SO many ravenous creatures, cutting off
the flesh with their clasp knives In
great chunks. They then In safer quar-
tiers built fires, toasted the meat and
swallowed 1t at once. To make them
more palatable the men fried their bis
cults In the axle grease provided for
the carts. The want Of fatty foods
and vegetables was greatly felt. In
spite of all their hardships nobody ever
thought of giving In. The general In
qulred as t. how many horses in the
camp could carry their riders six miles,
In view Of a sortie being made, and the
answer came back that only 10 horses
In the whole camp could do it."-Lon-
don Lancet.

Mayor of Dubiin's Dignity

he Lord Mayor of London maintains
a degree of pomp and circumstances far
greater than that of any other civic dig
nitary In the United Kingdom outside of
London. His official residence is a
stately edifice. with ample accommo-
dalton for entertaining including 1.-THE
round ROOM" vast chamber construc-
ted when the city entertained King
George ~. The equipages and powder
ed footmen of his lordship would do no
discredlt to his brother official in Lon
don. The Lord Mayor receives 1900
year, but It must be remembered that
$4,000 year in Dublin goes further
than it does in London. The chief mag
istrate has enjoyed the title of lord
since the time OF Charles II. By far
the most distinguished holder of the Of
fee was Daniel O'Connell.

The New Century journal gives the
following as an essay recently written
by little girl:
Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls are women
that will be young ladies by and by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam he said to himself:
Well think | can do better II try
again. and then he made Eve. God
liked Eve so much better than Adam
that there has been more women than
men. Boys are trouble; they wear out
everything but soap. If had my way
half the boys in the world would be
girls aud the rest would be dolls. My
papa is SO nice that think he must
have been little girl when he was a
little boy"

at Is n notorious fact" says The Ma
tional Druggist. that the pineapple is
considered the least healthy of all the
edible fruits of the tropics by those
who know anything OF the matter. The
Juice of the green and growing plant

throughout the far east generally with

ENnerf with the Toes

The Gauchos. or jewellers in the ex-
tensiye plains of Buenos Ayres. are
marvelously dexterous with both hands
and feet. Many Of them have acquired
through long practice such skill in u.s.
ing their toes as IL they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Some time ago q
Frenchman who was fishing in one of
the rivers of Buenos Ayres was warned
to be on his guard against the light
fingered natives. He forthwith kept a
ylgilant watch on his companions, but
nevertheless one day when his atten-
ton was closely rivited on his float a
willy Gaueho drew near, and. dellcately
inserting his foot, extracted the French
mans books and other valuables from
his pocket.

Perhaps the record for school attend
ance belongs to Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward. who was never absent
or late during his II years of school
life, beginning with his fourth year.
The local member Of the school board
for London tells the story that when
the proud boy received the attendance

had to be specially struck to meet his
case. the mother was questioned as TO
how her boy had been able to make

The English Way.

Fights are a recognized part of the
school education among the boys in
England. In America when boys fight
1t is because they are angry with each
other; In England they fight because
they are anxious to find out which is

have no quarrel or Ill feeling. but II
their friends cannot agree as to their
respective prowess the ultimate result
