A Christmas Love Story.

The prettiest Christmas tale OF all Is
that of the blessed Hermann Joseph
the little clock-maker of Germany. He
was a very poor lad, who loved to go to
church better than anything else i'll the
world. One Christmas Eve he entered
the cathedral with a little gift for the
Christ Child. 1t was all he had,-a
rosy apple which someone had gwen
him. He went up to the image of Mary
and the Child, and held out the apple to
the little one, placing it at last III the
chubby hand. Instantly the little mar
BILE fingers closed 2"on the apple, and
the Child smiled with pleasure upon the
poor boys gift. Which goes to Sho"
that the tribute of the wise men Is not
the only acceptable offering to CHRIST
mas love.-Abbie Farwell Brown, IN

Wood Too Hard to Burn.

There are certain kinds Of wood that
r too hard to burn. or refuse to ignite
for ONE other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root. but it is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal-the soft. light wood Of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece Of wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden. but
was remarkable for its comparative
weight. 1t had formed part Of a boat
belonging to a whalcr and had been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the depth Of more than half a
mile by a harpOOned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from the point Of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was a proof of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat,
Only part Of the boat came up again
at the end Of the line. and it was token
on board when the whale had been
killed. That piece Of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in a gas
Jet. The weight Of water had com
pressed it.-LOndOn Standard.

They Are the FIeetest of All -Four
Footed AnimaIa.
Comparatively few people realize OF
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
bic. Some remarkable statistics in e
gard TO this have been gathered by NJ.
Dusollcr. French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on bi-
cycles or In carriages. he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin TO dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 30
and go miles In one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well. II not better.
Nansen met one of these foxes on the
ice at n point more than 10 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is $50 miles from the Asiatlc coast. Es-
k!mo and Siberian dogs can travel 4J
miles on the ice In Ave hours and there
Is one case on record In which a team
of Eskimo dogs travelled Ga miles in
2S minutes.
According to NJ. Dusoller. the speed
Of the shepherd dogs and those used In
hunting ranges from 10 TO Is yards a
second English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate OF ~ to ~ miles an
hour. and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift.
as is proved by the fact that dog Of
! this breed once beat q thoroughbred
borse. covering four miles In Ga min
utes, which was at the rate of nearly
| IS yards a second.
| Greyhounds are the swlftest OF all
! four footed creatures. and their speed
/ may be regarded as equal to that OF
/ carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
! which are carefully selected and which
are used for coursing, are able TO Gov
er at full gallop space between Is
and % yards every second.
How great an achievement this Is
may be judged from the fact that a
thoroughbred horse rarely II ever ex-
ceetls 10 yards. Moreover. II Is said
that hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate Of IS yards.
These interesting statistics are ex.
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers OF dogs. and the
opinion Ia unanimous that NJ. Dusolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
bound to rank as the swiftest of the
quatlrupeds. Express engines only sur

secret regarding a mistake made by
Lincoln when he was President.
Joseph r. Swan was then an ex-Judge

States Supreme Bench Lincoln filed
by appointing Noah H. Swayne, Of this
city. a lawyer of ability but not 10 be
compared with Swan. The appoint
ment was a great surprise here and
many suspected that the President had
made mistake and appointed Swayne
when he meant to appoint Swan. A
committee OF Swans friends inquired
into the matter and the President ad-
mftted that that was the case, but he
was unwilling to humlliate Swayne by
making a change.
