modest to be u popular deiusion. On
the contrary. he alleges egotism to be
the. very essence of true genius and
quotes many amusing examples.
When Wordsworth. Southey and
Coleridge were walking together and
Colerldge remarked that the day was
so fine at might have been ordered for

promptly exclaimed: Three poets!
Who are the other two?"
Disraeli, then a mere youth, wrote to

It was President Grant who. being

recalls no Investment which ever Yield

certain little pocket match safe, which
cost % cents, He gave il to little

into 1t II small key TO make 1t rattle
and some bits of candy.

pleasure In the noise. | showed her
how to press the spring in order to

and, standing upright ON the top of

hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid flew open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the hundredth time at
least l closed the box for her to open
| 1t again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was In her cage, and
through It's meshes she could not reach
the wall She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force it
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires OF
the cage. she discovered n block of
wood about six inches square She
| took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
It with the left foot, while with the
right foot she chung to the perch. With

the cage to steady herself, she care

She fairly screamed with delight as
