For n Change.

There was good talk Mt tea party
given once Mt the observatory of Cam
bridge, England. Sydney Smith was
there, and although he took tho Won
derful work OF the place seriously be
had light manner of expressing him
self. The party had been led up to
look at Jupiter, and. this was his com
ment:
Jupiter? If you hadn't told me
should have taken it for bad shil-
ling"
"Where Is Sir John Herschel?' asked
one of the guests.
HE is at Cape. of Good Hope" said
the astronomer, Airy. "He was or
dcrcd there to OBSERVE the stars of the
southern hcmisphere",
"Ahr' said Sydney Smith. II sup
pose you astronomers when you are
i'll, are advised to change your stars
just rs we ordinary mortalsnre told to
change our air."

Casting a statue.

Stiglmaycr, German goldsmith in
the first part of the last century, hay
ing an ambition to attempt larger
works than any he had accomplished.
went TO Naples in order to see the cast
ing of Canova's statue Of Charles Ill,
but was de21ed the sight Of certain Sc
cret technical processes. Stiglmayer
found them out for himself nevcrthc-
less and as soon as he went home made
his first experiment on statuette of
Venus. Many delays occurred, and the
excitement increased as the end drew
near. By some mistake one Of his as
siStantS poured his molten metal into
the air hole. Then the casting came to
q stNndstill.
"Thc crowd of lockers on" writes the
poor founder in his diary, "stood first
dumb about ME and then slipped out
one by one and left me with my pain"
In Il month n second casting was be-
gun and failed. With unbrOken cour-
age he began the third cast, and on
Christmas eve the metal was again
poured in. 1t ran into the mold and
spurtcd joyfully ont at the air hole.
"Our JOY knew no bounds" he de-
clares. 1--WE raised loud cry of JOY
and embraced and kissed each other.

Phidias coming out Of the broken form
and burned his mouth, for 1t had not

Marriage In Alrcrfo.

TheS farther south one travels the
earlier one finds boys and girls arrive
at marriageable age. Some time ago q
census was taken in Algeria. and then
it was found that the youngest married
man" was twelve years old and that
many lads Of thirteen had several
wives. 4 divorced husband of fifteen
and widowor Of the same age were
also discovered. AS might he expected,
the girls are even more precocious than
the boys, and, though twelve is the
usual age, many are married ut eleven.
There were found to be 1S9 widows of
fifteen and no fewer than 1,17G divorc-
ed wives Of the same age.

She Kept Her Word.

A funny story is told concerning
Catherine Of Beradn. n Welsh woman,
who was known aS the mother of
Wales, because she founded so many
families. "Shc was first married to
John Salisbury of Lleweni and be-
came the mother Of Sir John Salus-
bury, who was born with two thumbs
to each hand and WAS noted for his
prodigious strength At the funeral of
her husband. Sir Richard Clough
gave her his arm. Outside the church,
yard stood Maurice Wynn of Gwydir
awaiting decent opportunity of pro-
posing to her. As.she issued from the
gate he did this. Very sorry replied
Catherine, but 7 have just accepted
Sir Richard Clough.i Should survive
him, l will marry YOU She was as
good as her word! and, married yet a
fourth before she died in 1901"

YALE'S NEGRO ORATOR.

NEW HAVEN, April 2.-Yale's negro
orator. William Pickens OF the junior class.
who last night captured the Ten Eyck prize
Of 500, taking the honor from four white
speakers, earned the first money he put
aside for his education at Yale University
as a ferryman on the Arkansas River. He
worked on Saturdays and Sunda ys Of each
week, and In that way earned money to

Telledaga, Ala. graduating from there
with honors. At this time he was COM
pletely out OF money. He than worked In
stores and in shops, and when he couldn't
find anything else to do he went to work
as laborer ON a railroad just outside OF
Chicago. Then he got employment in q
Chicago machine shop. and when he made
enough for his fare to this city he started
for Yale. One OF the men who helped him
In New York, where he stopped for few
days, was d. Stuart Dodge.
Pickens didn't 60 70 live on the campus
when he entered Yale, and 1t was not until
this year that he managed to get . room
In White dormitory. He works now for
money enough to pay his expenses at Yale.
He washes Window at the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing in this city for his meals and picks
up many dollar elsewhere In town. He
stands high In his class, being among the
first twenty-five. Dean Wright OF the
academic department thinks he is tho
brightest negro student he has ever met, in
view OF the disadvantages Of his younger
days. No one at the university to-day could
remember that any negro student had ever
before captured a prize at Yale.
Pickens doesn't mingle much with the
other students, although he said To- might that
the boys all treat him just the same rs they
