Outline Studies
Of Human Ndture
One on the Professor.

President Eliot, Of Harvard. told this story at
the Cornell club dinner the other evening:
"A friend OF mine, college professor. went
into Il crowded restaurant in New York city for
luncheon one hot day last summer. The negro
in charge of the big corridor where the hat
shelves stood was an intelligent looking fellow,
and his bow and smile were not of the obScqui.
Gus, stupid kind so often affected by colored
walters and doolmen in hotels. lie took my
friends hat and gave no check for it in return.
An hour later, when the professor came out OF
the dining room, the negro glanced at him in a
comprehensive way, turned to the shelves and
handed him his hat.
My friend is man who pridcs himself on his
powers OF observation, and the ncgro's ability
to remember to which each article OF clothing
belonged struck him as being something very
wonderful.
"'fIow did you know this was my hat?" he
asked.
~ didn't know it, sah,' was the reply
Then why did you give it to me? the pro-
tcssor persisted.
"'Bcpause YOU sivc it to me, ssh.' "-Boston

Lord Salisbury as a Dresser.

Here is an amusing and Characteristic story ot
Lord Salisbury II is known that the premier Is
most careless in his dress, ana that he is much
too serious in his mind and occupations TO nave
much regard for the merely ceremonial side OF
life.
For some years this failing produced no evil
results, for Lord Salisbury had faithful valet,
who looked after him, but one unhappy day tie
valet lett. and Lord Salisbury was reduced to his
own resources. It was levee day, and the mn'
istcr was in the midst Of serious business up to
the last moment. He rushed home, turned out a
large bundle OF uniforms. OF which, Of course, he
has quantity, and took the first that came to
his hand, with the astonishing result that he
wore coat that belonged 10 the Elder Brethren
of Trinity House, deputy lioutenant's pair OF
trnosels, and hat OF the ROYAL Archeis. Even
that was not OF the worst. He wore his garter on
the wrong side, and things reached their climax
in the waistooast, which, dating fom an earlier
and less romantic period OF his life, left be-
tween il and the trousers what was once called
in the case If another parliamentsran, "a lucid
irterval."-New England Magazine.

The Toy Pistol Again.

A toy pistol in the hands Of frolic-
some boy is capable of considerable
mischief. and this same kind of toy
and the same small boy sustained their
reputation on Monday evening, when
1G-year-old Joe Sweet was sent to the
doctors with "A small quantity of stone
that came from the aforesaid toy pis-
tol.
Sweet lives on South Church street
He had a toy pistol that provided
abundant diversion while it was being
put to its ordained purposes. His
companions. however. took to expert
mentng and thereby hangs this tale.
The pistol was jammed to the top
of the barrel with wee bits of stone.
big enough. however. to bring disaster
to a small boy or a big boy for that
natter To see how the thing would
go off. one of Sweets companions
pulled the trigger. The pistol went oft
and after there was howl from Sweet.
He was in the way of the toy and
some of the experiment" entered into
his leg. He was taken to the office of
DR.. p. l.. Bailey. who had to make an
incision to remove the piece of stone
from the boys leg. There is a small
wound left. which young Sweet Will
have to nurse for a few days. and
which will probably serve as re-
minder of his toy pistol experience.
