Curious Migrations.

In Norway and Sweden curious mi.
grafton takes place, the irregular mi
grafton of the lemming. There is no
telling where this strange animal will
begin its march southwark through
Norway and Sweden in search of food.
The interval between one migration
and the next is seldom less than seven
years OF, as in one instance more than
seventeen years.
The lemnling is a species OF rodent
and resembles in some ways our COM
mon water rat. Once started, these
strange creatures press on in straight
line. There is no checking their march.
If a wall or a house is in their way,
they will try to climb it rather than so
around it, and if they come to 81 stack
of corn they will eat it and then go for
ward. The jennings are good swim
mers, and so they do not mind rivers
and ponds, although they cannot keep
afloat in rough water
The migration comes to fatal finish.
Taking direct course toward the
southwest and southeast, the animals
arrive after awhile at the seashore.
Still they must press on, and the lem
ming migration ends for another seven
years.

a FAMOUS HIGHWAY.
The Cumberland Road, Which Was
Projected by Henry Clay.

Ane cumberland Noad, Which Was
Projected by Henry Clay.
The most remarkable highway built
in the United States early in the nine
teenth century was the so called Cum
berland road, which was to extend
from Cumberland, Nd, through south
western Pennsylvania, over the Allie
ghany mountains to the Ohio at Wheel
ing, w. Va, and then on to St Louis.
1t was SO we'll constructed that it is
good road today. Henry Clay was it's
protector and chief supporter and his
services in it's behalf are commemorate
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that PEE
Rod that 'there were sometimes twen-
ty gayly painted four horse coaches
each way daily. The cattle and sheep
were never out of sight, and canvas
covered wagons We're drawn by six to
twelve horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs, the government
expended no less a sum than $7,O0O,OOO
Within mile of it on either side the
country was wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as in the main street of large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
for coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons, which
carried ten tons, drawn by twelve
horses and with wheels ten feet in d.
ameter.-Pearson's Magazine.

FAULTY QUOTATIONS.
Popular Phrases That Are often In.
correctly ReDeated

correctly Repeated.
Nearly every one is fond of quoting
from the poets and dramatists, and
nearly every one commits some eyre
gious error in his quotations. All Of us
say "the even tenor of their way" when
what Gray wrote was 1.-The noiseless
tenor Of their way" "When Greek
meets Greek then comes the tug of
war" should be "When Greeks Joined
Greeks then was the tug of war" We
say, Welcome the coming, speed the
parting guest" whereas the correct
quotation is ''speed the going guest"
Butler wrote in "Hudibras," "He
that complies against his Willis of his
own opinion STILL" but we alter the
sense as well as the wording of the
passage by quoting continually, "a
man convinced against his will is Of
the same opinion STILL"
How often we hear people, quoting
the passage on mercy from "The Mer-
chant of Venice say, "It falleth as the
gentle dew from heaven" whereas the
bard wrote, "Falleth as the gentle
rain" We quote with great compla-
cency, "The man that hath no music in
his SOUL" whereas what Shakespeare
wrote was, "The man that hath no
music in himself" "Fine by degrees
and beautifully less" a phrase which
has become in popular use, "Small by
degrees and beautifully ess."-Albany
Argus
