Tried Both Ways.

Some of the inmates of a Yorkshire
asylum We're engaged in saving wood
and an attendant thought that one old
fellow, who appeared to be working
as hard as anybody, had not much to
show for his labor.
Approaching him the attendant soon
discovered the cause of this. The old
man had turned his saw upside down,
with the teeth in the air, and was
working away with the back of the
tool.
Here, I say, j." remarked the
attendant what are you doing? You'll
never cut the wood in that fashion.
Turn the saw over."
The old man paused and stared con-
temptuously at the attendant.
Did ia iyer try saw this way?" he
asked.
"Well, no." replied the attendant.
"Of course 1 haven't"
"Then hod thy noise, mon,' was the
instant rejoinder. 1--WE tried both

Answering correspondent who,
while not asserting that systematic
education is bar to business success,
yet uses again the familiar-andw weari-
encouragement that many of the
magnates of industry and commerce
are as short on letters as they are long
on money. The Electrical World and
Engineer sensibly remarks that before
making deductions from this phenom-
enon one should remember that 1.-The
success of these men is rooted in the
conditions of thirty and forty years
ago-in a period when college educa-
tion had for it's object the fitting of
young men for the so-called learned
professions or imparting to the sons
of the wealthy and well-to-do the
traditional academic culture having no
direct utilitarian object" The result
was that the college man of those
days, having been educated out of
sympathy wi h the industrial and COM
mercial spirit, was viewed askance by
men of affairs and was really handi-
capped in the few instances when he
turned his attentions to business.

Birds Nest in Cromwen's Cannon.

The gun which Cromwell placed in
the Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle
when he held the royal residence has
been turned to peculiarly domestic
use. A pair of starlings have this
nesting season brought up a fine brood
of young in the old weapon. The gun,
which was put in its position to COM
mand Windsor Bridge in case of a
royalist attack from Elton, points from
the upper story Of the tower, and peo-
pie walking in Thames street far be-
low have watched with interest the
anxious devotion Of the old birds in
teaching their young to come out Of
the mouth of the gun to take lessons
in fying.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Pennsylvania Weasels,

Possibly few who read of "king's
robes of royal ermine" appreciate that
the rightful and first possessors of the
beauteous coat is sometimes a deni-
zen of the keystone State. 1t may be
that some subtle force suggested to
turn-coa monarchs to choose the pelt
of this animal for their own. In fact,
during the greater portion of the year
the ermine is a plain egg-sucking
weasel. AS winter comes ON he as
sumes a white coat, with black
tipped tail.
Putolus noveboracensis, as the sci
enlist calls the weasel or ermine,
ranges from North Carolina way up
into Canada. 1t is rare, however, to
take ermine or white-coated weasels
in Pennsylvania, although two speci-
mems have just been received at the
Academy of Natural Sciences from
Sullivan County. In fact, south Of
Pennsylvania the weasel never
changes color In winter and this fact
goes far to substantiate the theory of
protective coloration. Thus, when
snow covers the ground, the white er-
mine become nearly invisible, while
in his weasers guise during the sum-
mer he is not nearly so conspicuous
as he would be did he wear his white
coat all the year round.
Another interesting fact is that,
while the animals that live in the
North always change color, yet those
in the South do not, the reason being
that their white color would not pro-
tect, but destroy, them, as there is
almost no snow in the South. -Phila-
delphia Record.

First Born children Strongest.

1t would seem that first-born chill
dren excel later-born children in
height and weight, says Arthur Mac
Donald, in Everybody's Magazine.
This may be due to the greater vigor
of the mother at the birth of the first
child. We are reminded of fact,
mentioned later, that out of so great
men of this century, 80 percent were
the youngest sons.
In England it was found that growth
degenerates as we go lower in the
social scale, there being a difference
of even five inches in height between
the best and worst fed classes in the
community.
An investigation Of 10000 children
in Switzerland showed that children
born in summer are taller for their
age than those born in winter; as
majority Of children in the public
schools are poor, in winter their par
ents are forced to economize more on
account of expense of heating; theiC.
rooms are also liable to be small anu
poorly ventilated, while in summer
they are out in the fresh air; food is
cheaper and more varied. The in
fuence of unhealthy conditions on
very young child would be much great
er than when it is older and better
able to resist them.

licked For Four ii Hundred Years.

A bUrgh that possesses clock
four centuries old many fairly claim
respectable measure of antiquity.
Such is the boast Of Musselburgh, the
ancient and evil-smelling neighbor of
Edinburgh. This week, however, the
clock has ceased to go, and in due
course will find a resting place in the
town museum. 1t well deserves thus
to be preserved, for it told the time to
the Duke Of Somerset and his army,
so far back as 1547, when on the
field Of Pinkie, hard by, they tried
to force the Scots to give their young
Queen Mary in marriage to Edward
VI. of England. Prince Charlie and
his Bighlanders, too, marched under
it in 1745 to do battle with Sir John
Cope at the neighboring village Of
Prestonpans.-London Chronicle.

American owners, trainers, jockeys
and horses are getting many honors
and prizes in England, France, Aus.
tria, Germany and elsewhere. James
r. Keene, William c.. Whitney, Pierre
Lorillard and William X. Vanderbilt
are conspicuous among American
owners of thoroughbreds who have
seen their colors borne in triumph on
the turf outside of their own country.
And there are others, observes the
New York Tribune. Yankee dash and
spirit and enterprise in racing, as in
many other things, know no ocean
barriers, no obstacles of time or dis
tance. Few turfmen of any other land
have been bold and adventurous
enough to send great stables oversee
and to challenge the foremost foreign
breeders and owners on their own
grounds-in their own preserves, so to
sneak.

MONUMENT TO A HORSE.
Granite Shaft Ere cted by Grateful Man
to a True Friend.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
On one of the highest spots in Lake
View Cemetery stands a granite shaft
which was erected by a grateful man
to mark the resting place of a true
friend. An inscription on the northern
side of this monument reads: "In Ad-
versity Faithful"
The shaft was erected by w. Irving
Wadleigh. 1t marks the grave of his
horse Buck. Few monuments have
ever raised greater controversy than
this. Passers by read the inscription
on the faces of the stone. On the
southern side is engraved:
"BUCK."

Died September 90 1884.

On the eastern side is:

ion in blackness of night, in storm, sun.
shine and danger"
On the north side are the words:
Corraled
In Adversely Faithful.
There are those who criticise, and
some harsh words have been said by
few. The greater majority, so the
sexton says, are touched by the SEN
timent. All wonder what the story
may be.
Mr.. Wadleigh, who erected the
monument, is well known among Seat
ties pioneers. In 1871 he first saw
Buck in Portland. The horse was a
magnificent sorrel-a thoroughbred.
He stood fifteen hands high, and, ac-
cording to the story. was Mr.. Wad-
leigh's constant companion for many
years, through prosperity and adver-
sity.

The absolute necessity of verifying
theories by the observation of facts is
beautifully illustrated again. A re-

sea lions, which have fallen into dis

habits, do not, as a matter of fact,
endanger the fishing industry at all.
"A critical examination of the stom-
