Chestnut street in a crowded trolley

The Crafty Farmer.

1t appears that an old farmer near
Houghton owned Il large pile of small
stones with which he wished to ill
ditch, but he had already got about
as much work out of his boys as they
were willing to do. especially as it was
nearing the hour for Il ball game. The
old man was bound TO have the stones
moved. anyhow, and so. pretending to
have discovered nest of snakes in the
ditch. began stoning the place where
the snakes We're alleged to be. The
boys, who Il few minutes before were
weary and listlesS. We're now all life
and animation. Each threw stones rs
fast as he could grab them. and the pile
was soon in the ditch. There are two
morals to this story-hrst, when you
set about killing Il snake throwing
stones is Il gladstone occupations: Sec
ond, in selecting father be careful
not to choose Il liar.-Detroit Tribune.

Ic(Ii:pIl Head SIN ON.

Nowhere is to be found Il more pom
pous or Il more awe inspiring person
than the headslman. who plays in India
the role which the official hanSman
plays in IL European city.
His deadly work he performs with
great skill. and in his bearing there is
a certain dignity which is never seen
in a European hangman. Moreover,
while in Europe the populace regards
4 hangman with a feeling which iS
partly contempt and partly horror, the
people of India respect and fear the
public eXecutioner and never seem to-
think that he has lowered himself in
the social scale by accepting the Office
of headsman.
On festive occasions and when ar
rayed in his robes of office the eXecM-
toner is decidedly picturesque figure
and altogether different from the son%.
Der and grim hangman Of Europe.

ROMANCE Of INVENTION.
stevens and Hts II Rail and Cunard's
Clipper Ship Model.

Clipper Ship Model.
Robert Livingston Stevens sailed
from New York to Liverpool before
the advent of the ocean steamer. In
those days the passage took two
months. and Stevens passed many an
hour. jackknife in one hand and
piece of wood in the other. brooding
over a problem that had often worried
him-how to run Il railroad without
stone stringers for tracks. He wanted
to get an iron rail that would hold"
and would take the place of the thin
strips fastened to the chair of the
roadbed. Just before he reached Eng
land his whiting revealed to him the
solution of his problem. and that so.
luton took the form of L rail with
a broad base that could be applied al.
rect to Il solid wood support. That
L rail is still in use on all railways
of the world.
The elder Cunard. who was appren-
ticed as lad to Il Scotch shipbuilder.
is said to have amused himself In
whiting the hulls of vessels. Occa-
sionally he would tit one OF these with
masts, sails and rigging complete.
Tired of familiar types he would eX-
pertinent with new ships. and one of
these it was that attracted the utten-
ton of his master. because it would
not maintain it's upright position in
the water. Experiments We're made
to ballast it in order to give it the
proper trim. The clipper-llse shape
and graceful long lines of the model
promised great speed. Such is said
to be the origin of the standard model
of the Cunard and later ocean grey
hounds.-Chicayo News.

nirds, Nests and Poetry.

Birds nests have attracted the atten-
tion of inquisitive genius from the days
of Aristotle down to the present time.
This is not wonderful, because the
nests are invariably curious and often
beautiful. besides Offering a cradle, as
it were. for host of romantic specula-
tions and pOetical theories. Imagina-
tlon has taken hold of birds and their
nests with singular affection, drawing
forth meantime some beautiful leg
ends to enrich romance withal and to
add TO the sum of what is most per-
sistent in the song of mankind.
The ancients told that the halcyon, a
beautiful aquatic bird, had its nest on
the seas breast, little floating palace
around which the water was always
calm and sweet. Halcyon, or alcyon,
was the kinghsher, it is supposed, but
we now know every species of this
bird, and none of them builds its nest
TO drift about on the sea. Indeed, as
If to make the contrast of fact with
fancy as great as possible. most of the
kingfshers dig deep holes in the
ground for their homes.

HIS ONLY REGRET. -
The Great sorrow That Consumed
Bichat When He Was Dying.


One century ago died Xavier Bichat.
The famous physician and anatomist,
author OF "L'Anatomic Generate" He
probably dissected more human corpses
than any other man In the worlds
history. He established a record when
he opened G25 bodies during one win
ter. He was not a vivisectionist and
was wont to say, Il would rather dis
sect two dead people than kill one
chicken"
OF his nerve a tale is told. When he
lay on his daathbed. he called his col
leagues to him and said: Dear friends,
/ am done, but what comforts me is the
fact that my case is a remarkable one.
have had unusual symptoms for some
days which / have analyzed. They
have greatly surprised me-" The doc
tors sought TO reassure him. He an
swered that he was under no Illusion
with regard to himself. Il shall die
fairly satisfied with my life and got
the grave with only one regret, one
great sorrow"
"What is that?' he was asked. 'I
am distressed that after death l can
not dlssecs my own body. I could, 1
am certain, have made some beautiful
scientific discoveries" Then he sank
back. murmwfng: Il must not think
