The Boy Webster.

Daniel Webster as a lad is thus de-
scribed by John Bach McMaster, the
historian, in the first of his illustrated
papers on the statesman, published in
the Century:
AS the boy grew in years and stat
ure his life was powerfully affected
by the fact that he was the youngest
son and ninth child in family of ten:
that his health was Gar from good;
that he showed tastes and mental
traits that stood out in marked con-
trast with those of his brothers and
sisters; and that he was, from infancy,
the pet of the family. Such daily work
as farmers lad was then made to
do was not for him. Yet he was ex-
pected to do something, and might
have been seen barefooted, in frocll
and trousers, astride of the horse that
dragged the plow between the rows Of
corn, or raking hay, or binding the
wheat the reapers cut, or following the
cows to pasture in the morning and
home again at night, or tending logs
in his fathers sawmill. When such
work was done it was his custom to
take a book along, set the log, hoist
the gates, and while the saw passed
slowly through the tree-trunk, an op.
Grafton which, in those days, con.
sumed some twenty minutes he would
settle himself comfortably and read.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A good conscience is to the soul
what health is to the body. 1t pre-
serves n constant ease and serenity
within us, and more than countervails
all the calamities and afllictions which
can possibly befall us.
To mediate daily, to pray daily,
seems a means Indispensable for
ality, habit, routine, which hides the
living springs of wisdom.
Never be discouraged by trifles. If
a spider breaks his thread twenty
times, he will mend it as many. Per-
severance and patience will accom-
plish wonders.
70 commiserate is something more
than to give, for money is external
to a mans self; but he who bestows
compassion communicates his own
soul.
Despise not any man, and do not
spurn anything. For there is no man
that hath not his hour, nor is there
anything that hath not it's place.
Mere ideals, unsecured by deeds, are
like unframed pictures. They do not
hong retain their freshness and whole
mess and beauty.
Generosity, to deserve the name,
comprises the desire and the effort to
benefit others without reference %
self.
The loveliest things in life are but
shadows, and they come and go, and
change and fade away as rapidly.
An avowal of poverty is a disgrace
to no man; to make no effort to escape
from it is indeed disgraceful.
In friendship, as in love, we are
often happier through our ignorance
than our knowledge.
Nothing can be further apart than
true humility and servility.

The Irish Hedge School.

The educational structure for which.
taking advantage of the federation Of
Government, the hedge schoolmaster
now abandoned his al fresco establish
ment, was n very humble one of it's
Kind The peasantry, animated by
the strong Irish love of learning, built
1t for him-just as in modern days
they assemble and build huts for
eyicted tenants. 1t was not a very
formidable undertaking. A deep, dry
ditch or trench by the roadside was usu-
ally selected for the site. At the side
of the trench an excavation of the re-
qulsite area was dug, so that the clay
bank formed three sides of the in
closure; this saved the trouble of build
ing walls. Then the fourth side, or
front side wall, with door and two
windows, was built of green sods laid
in courses, while similar sods raised
the back to the required height and
pointed the gable ends. Young trees
and wattles cut from the nearest wood
and bound together with straw ropes
and withes formed the roof timbers.
Over these were spread brambles, then
came layer of "scraws," u slabs of
healthy bog surface, and over all
thatching of rushes. The earthen
floor was pared to an approach to Il
level, the rubbish cleared away, ana
a pathway made to the public road.
There was your hedge schoolhousc,
ready for business.-Donahoe's.

STOOD BY HIS BARGAIN.
The Chariot Seemed a Bit GauGy, But He
Was Willing to Use 1t.


"It's hard life" declared the old
circus man, according to the Detroit
Free Press, land l always say at the
close of every season that l am
through with it. But there is some
thing in the life, the smell of the saw
dust ring, the glitter and noise, the
changing scene, that appeals to Il man
who has once been in the business, and
it is seldom that one leaves the life
| until death steps in. There is Il good
| deal of humor in the business, too, as
we are brought into contact with all
sorts and conditions of men.
Il am reminded of funny thing
that happened to me Il good many
years ago when such thing as moving
a circus by rail was not thought of.
1t was part of my work at that time
to drive our great $4,000 chariot, not
only in the parade, but between towns
as well. What little sleep l got l had
to catch here and there ON my seat
while we were on our way to another
town. One night my doze turned into
| a sound sleep, and when l awoke 1 dis
covered that the team, left without q
driver, had turned into farmyard
and come to a stop before :, haystack,
where they We're quietly eating. While
[ was rubbing my eyes and trying to
grasp the situation the old man who
owned the hay came out where l was
and walked around the chariot and
looked it over with a critical eye.
"'Well, said l, with grin, what
do you think of it?'
"'Gosh,' said he, 'ain't hit jes' a
trife bit gaudy?
"Well, what do you expect?' said
I, Indignantly, at this implied rehec-
ton upon the great moral show that
l represented.
"Well, l suppose hit is all right,
answered the old man, doubtfully, as
lie looked it over once more. 4 or
dered hit, and I'll stand by my bar
gain. Hit seems ter me that hit Is
jes' bit loud. But 1 suppose l amt
used to city ways
ut was now my turn to be surprised,
and l was about to ask him what he
was driving at when he added that |
might as weli unhitch, as the funeral
wouldn't be until two in the after
noon.
Then there were explanations all
around. 1t seems that the old mans
wife had died, and he had sent to the
nearest city for funeral car, and had
mistaken our great $4,000 chariot for
it. There had been n good deal OF
rivalry in the neighbornood in regard
to funerals, and the cd man had made
up his mind to outshine them all, and
think he was disappointed in the end
when he discovered that he had been
mistaken

The difference between mans
heart and woman's is shown oddly
and well in this years report of the
Pennsylvania Hospital, in the table
giving the causes of insanity among
11,JG0 patients, G104 of whom were
men and 5456 women. Women, this
table shows are nearer to nature than
men. The things which drive women
insane are the simple, elemental
things, those things which the Bible
and the great poets regard as most i'm
portant in life, though men are apt to
hold them lightly. Homesickness made
insane eleven women, but only one
man; domestic trouble 1877 women and
tifty-five men; mental anxiety, 402
women and 236 men; grief, 345 women
and ninety-two men; fright, sixty-four
women and twenty men. On the other
hand, vicious habits and indulgences
made insane 125 men, but only sixteen
women; business cares and DerpleXi-
ties, 415 men and eighty-nine women;
excessive study, fifty-one men and
twenty women; intemperance, 95S
men and seventy-eight women. From
the opium habit an equal number of
men and women-thirty-o
insane. Among the occupations of the
insane men, that of farming was, as
usual, well to the fore, there being 59s
farmers among the patients.-Philadel

TIME FOR KANSAS FARMERS.
How State University Professor Dodged
an Induction.


Kansas is famous 1or its oddities.
Now it is furnishing time calculated
from the stars to the farmers who live
within radius of twenty miles of the
town of Lawrence, first made famous
by the Quantrell raid in war times.
Lawrence is the seat Of the State
university 1t is dignified and learned
town, and almost the entire population
claims kinship with the people of New
England, and even the streets Lave
been named after the thirteen original
States. The university buildings are
situated on the top of one of the high
est hills in Kansas, rising n veritable
mountain on the plains. From the
campus can be seen a checkerboard of
fertile farms stretching away in every
direction.
Professor Lucien 1. Blake. himself
n Massachusetts man, is the head of
the department of physics and electri-
cal engineering of the university Last
December he began to furnish the
farmers for twenty miles around the
university with the correct time. He
put large foghorn whistle operated
by steam on the roof Of the physics
department shops, and at IL o'clock
every morning, when the standard
time was received from Washington
over the wires of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, he caused the
whistle to be blown. When the farm
ers heard the whistle they fastened to
correct the time given by their
watches and clocks.
AS soon as the telegraph company
learned the meaning of the whistle,
and that its time news was leaking
out over the town and adjoining coun-
try without compensation to itself, it
secured writ of injunction which
sllenced the whistle. Then Professor
Blake began to study astronomy and
determined to furnish his farmer
friends with sidereal time if he was
not permitted to serve them with the
solar brand from Washington. Side
real time is that obtained from obser-
vations of the movements of the stars.
To obtain these observations in the
daytime he bored a small hole through
the roof of the building and down
through every floor to the cellar.
Through this hole, and with the aid
of instruments for the purpose, he was
able to calculate time to the thou
sandth fraction of a second.
AS soon as he was able to do this
he started up the whistle at II o'clock
every day, and once more the farm
ers got the correct time, while the in
genious professor laughed the tele-
graph company's injunction to scorn.
Since then the farmers thereabouts
have been living by star time.

STRENGTH.
That I

That I am strong, my friends, oh! pity
me;
Nor think me blessed that l can bear
alone
More than my sha of burden without
moan
More than your praise need your sym
pathy.
l am in servitude, while you are free.
Who bids the useless hands to toll or
bring?
What hunter presses hard the broken
wing?
In your soft helplessness is liberty,
And your the gift of tears-the sweet
relief.
For all life's woes, the stricken hearts
outcry.
I may not voice the measure of my grief;
The strong their right to weeping must
deny.
But credit me- a deeper pathos lies
Behind the sterile anguish of dry eyes.

Many of the visiting Cuban teachers
during their stay in this country
picked up a few words and phrases of
English, the meaning of which they
hardly understood. Near the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania a coal cart driv-
er, who was standing beside his team,
started a conversation with stout
Cuban Senor, says the Philadelphia
Record.
$50 you're a Cuban are you?" he
asked.
Sure" was the rather slangy reply.
"You like this country?"
"All right"
"Were you born in Cuba?"
"Sure."
"How old are you?"
"All right"
This ended the conversation, as the
coalcart driver apparently felt that
his well-meant efforts were not ade.
quately rewarded.
