To those at the bottom of the Lad
der of Fame it seems all serene at
the top, but the price of greatness
often includes many annoyances be-
sides discouraging impositions. A
striking illustration of this truth is
found in the following incident:
Thomas Bailey Aldrich once received
a pathetic letter announcing the death
of a little daughter and asking if he
would not send in his own handwriting
verse or two from "Bable Bell to
assauge the grief of the household
Aldrich sent the whole poem and not
long after saw it displayed in the
window of an autograph dealer with a
good, round price attached.

Mummy Wheat.

Popular journals every now and

mummy cases has been planted. germi.
mated and grown. Certain wheats OF
Egyptian origin are known as mummy
wheats. The legend will probably live
but it has no verifable basis. M. E.
Gain has recently tried extensive ex
periments with, wheat taken from
Egyptian tombs and finds that no ce-
reals there found will reproduce their
kind. The embryos of such grains are
completely dead, although the reserve
material is perfectly fit to nourish
them were they alive.

tary authorities. The American train
er began with a horse called Idole, be-
longing to Lieut.. Labruyere of the
Ecole de Guerre. This animal, very
fine horse, was useless to its owner, as
it refused to be either saddled or haa
messed. AS soon as Mr.. Smith had Pr
piled his methods to it it became ike
lamb, was saddled and bridIed, har-
messed to a carriage, driven through
clouds of steam, made to face Shrek
ing sirens, and allowed flags and apan
umbrellas to be tapped in it's face. At
the end of the quarter of an hour Mr..
Smith flung the reins on its back and
stood up in the carriage, while the
horse stood quietly facing rushing
clouds of steam.
An experiment with a pretty little
half-Arab mare belonging to Cap. PEN
elon, aide-de-camp of Gen. Brugere.
was equally successful. She refused to
face steam, smoke, railway trains or
tramways, and had twice nearly killed
her rider by rearing right--hack -sssa
him. At the end o. twenty minutes
she faced every possible nerve-trying
instrument in Mr.. Smiths parapher-
MALTA, and was finally harnessed for
the first time in her life to a carriage
and driven in double harness with the
preceding horse, finally drawing up in
the midst Of a yesuvius of blazing and
cracking fireworks. Its owner declared
the result to be something approaching
the miraculous.

"Father of the Man.

Among the old Romans there was a
saying that the greatest reverence is
due to boys" meaning, as Wordsworth
has it, that as ''the child is father Of
the man." it is necessary to treat it
with becoming respect. 1t was for
some such reason as this that Johann
Trebonius, the great German teacher,
always appeared bareheaded before his
scholars. Who can tell what famous
men may be in this class?" he used to
remark. There may be among them
learned men and wise lawmakers, and
even men born to rule empires" One
there was among his boys destined to
secure undying fame. They call him
Martin Luther.

A certain learned professor was in
structing class of schoolboys about
the circulation of the blood. To make
sure that they understood, he proceed
ed to question them.
Can you tell me-, said he, why it
is that if l were to stand on my head
there would be rush of blood to my
head, and that there is no rush of
blood to the feet when l stand upon
them?"
For moment there was a silence,
and then a small boy answered:
tits because your feet are not
empty, sir"

Lived Under the Snow.

An instance of the hospitality of liv-
ing under a snowdrift is recorded dur
ing the recent storms in England
On December 9 a large flock of sheep
belonging to cattle dealer of Cars
dale were out on the open moor. The
shepherds with their dogs collected
the sheep and drove them to more
sheltered locality, dreading a threaten
ing storm which soon followed. One
sheep, however, escaped and made its
way back to the pasture where it was
overtaken by the heavy fall of snow
and imbedded in it. There it re-
manned until the snow melted, when
the shepherds were astonished to find
it alive and well. 1t had stayed under
the sHow for twenty-five days.

Nor harshly condemn it in haste;
But when with my own you compare it

Well, it's purely a matter of taste"
And none could convince him his Judg-
ment was wrong,
So great was this donkey's conceit.
He brayed at his pleasure the summer
day long,
And thought that his music was sweet
A very good donkey he was on the whole,
But ran all his value to waste
By striving to prove that a musical Eoul

Grasping the head in his hands, Hen

ring, he pulled 10 steadily upward a
little bell inside the dragon rang. This

Running to it, Lampkin pulled il out

Hendricks nodded as he began TO try

erouching in corner, a white-faced
creature with walling eyes and dis
