1t would be difficult task, if not an
impossible one, to persuade any half
dozen men casually brought together
into unanimity of opinion concerning
the greatest man who ever lived. Most
of them would agree no doubt with
Lord Brougham that julius Caesar was
"the greatest man of ancient times" "
but how many of the six would accept
Professor GARDENERS estimate of Crom-
well as ''the greatest Englishman of all
times?" Each of them, we may be
reasonably sure, would accept Shake
speare as the greatest poet, yet Lord
Lytton once spoke of Milton as 1.-THE
greatest poet of our country" And
where will be found two men out of
Scotland to agree with Charles Mackey
when he says of Burns that he was
'the greatest poet : next perhaps to
King David of the Jews-whom any
age has produced"- Weekly.

Rnn Away From Doctor.

The family hope and pride, five years
Of age, was out of sorts. He didn't
eat well, and he had slight cold.
Mamma thought the doctor should be
sent for, and papa concurred. The doc
tor looked at the little chaps tongue,
felt his pulse and left some little pills.
The next day he came again. The boys
cold hung on, and SO did the doctor.
At the end of the sixth visit, however,
the father thought the patient well
enough, SO he paid the doctor off with
the understanding that he need not
come again. Nevertheless, the next
day saw the doctor arrive, and the
day following. Not wishing to offend
him, the family thereupon bundled up
the boy and went away for visit.
The doctor could not charge for a visit
to a locked up house, and that was an
easy way to escape his attentions and
his bill.-New York Press.

himself the task of giving out valuable
information as to the amount of food
one should eat. He proceeds to make
the matter plain to the masses by say
ing:
"If you desire to know how much
you ought to eat per diem, you must
first determine whether you are tenn
peramentally anabolic or katobolic.
Then, taking into account your age.
sex, size, the amount Of exercise you
get and the temperature of the atmos-
phere, you should calculate the amount
Of food necessary to maintain the min
imum weight Of the body consistent
with the best health Of which you are
capable"

whatever for overeating or undereat-

clan appeared on the platform he found
himself face to face with an audience
numbering exactly seven persons.

of empty benches he delivered himself
as follows:
Ladies' and gentlemen, feel ex-
tremely tattered by your presence
here this evening. but this room is
not at all suitable; the air is literally
Sitting. VIII you be good enough to

Portsmouth Harbor,

There has existed a harbor at Ports
mouth, England. resorted to by fight
ing ships from the most ancient times
in our history. The Romans undoubt-
eddy used it when they had their
stronghold at Portchester, and they
appear to have named 1t Portus Mag
nus, or the Great Port. The footsteps
of the Roman provincials and of the
Saxons and Normans may be traced,
and from these times onward the name
Of Portsmouth occurs frequently in
our history. The place had attained
some measure of Importance in the
reign of Henry 1. Richard Occur de
Lion set sail thence when last he left
the shores of his Kingdom. and in the
time of his successor naval estab-
lishment existed at the port.-London

1t is told of certain professor whose
observation-disclosures about equaled his
learning that he was one day, crossing
the college campus, absorbed to such
a degree in book of his that had just
been published that he was lost to
everything else. Suddenly he bumped
up against an object, and looking up
he saw that he had collided with a
COW that had rudely strayed In his
way. "Get out of the way, you coww
he exclaimed irritably, prefixing an Inn
polite adjective to Cow"
The next day as the professor was
again crossing the campus, immersed
in his reading, he again ran into IN
object. ooh, that COMPOUNDED cow"
he exclaimed. Then, hearing an In
dignant "Sir" he looked up hastily to
discover that this time he had come
up against the wife of fellow pro-
fessor. 1t hardly made matters better
to assure her that he had taken her
for a COW, and 1t required the good
offices of the entire faculty to restore
an era of good feeling.
