The Magnet,

Thousands of years ago mineral
having the strange power of attracting
iron was found in the country ancient
~ called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given us the
word magnet" This mineral, which
is now called the lodestone (not load
stone), attracted the attention of the
curious, and it was discovered that a
piece of iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power of attracting iron. In other
words, the piece Of iron became mag
net. 1t was afterward found that such
an iron or artificial magnet could be
used like the lodestone itself to convert
other pieces or iron into magnets by
rubbing. Still more recently mode
Of making magnets by means of cleo
tricity was discovered-that is, by
wrapping a piece Of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing a current of electricity to pass
through the wire. The familiar small
toy magnets are simply steel bars
which have been rubbed a few times
against powerful magnets.-St. Mich

A Clever French Captive.

A person who was supposed to be the
French General Mouton, count de 10.
bau, was once captured by an English
vessel, but after a time the captain dis
covered that his prisoner was the
Count de Montrond. "Why did you de-
ceive me-" he demanded angrily of the
count. 81 did not deceive you" replied
Montrond; mot at all. You thought /
was General Mouton. You told me So
You have fifty gun frigate Was it
for me, who have only pocket pistol
to contradict you?"
The captain did not forgive Montrond
and took every opportunity to treat
him rudely. One evening at dinner
some one proposed the health of the
French. AS Montrond rose to acknowl-
edge it the captain cried: "They are all
towards! | make no exceptionsw
When Montrond's turn came he gave
this sentiment: 1.-THE English--they are
all gentlemen, but l make exceptions"

How Indians de Maple Sugar.

Ever since the Indians in the section
Of Vermont now known as Fletcher
discovered "honey" in the maple trees
that district has been known far and
wide as the heart Of the Vermont sug-
ar country. The way the red men ex-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut a
slanting cash in the bark and insert
in the lower end gauge shaped piece
of wood, from which the sap ran and
dropped into poplar or Eastwood
trough. At the end Of the season
these troughs would be set up against
the trees and left until the following
season, by which time the troughs
would be thoroughly widowed.
This materially added to the flavor
of the aboriginal sugar, but can hardly
be said to have improved it. The
evaporator Of those times consisted of
an iron kettle swung from a sapling
bent over a stump. by a slow and
tedious process the sap was first heat
ed and then boiled in this kettle, often
taking two or three days boiling be-
fore it could be sugared off. This was
the way in which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out a Sweet
min" of their tea and johnnycake.

Success of the Solemn ASS.

Look about you, gentle reader, and
consider the solemn ass in every walk
Of life. Who so respected, so admired,
so influential? He never takes sides.
He never is partisan. He goes along
with knitted brows, his thoughts too
deep for utterance. Smaller men may
abandon themselves to hasty inclina-
tons, to rash preferences, to robust
views. He never does. If he speaks
at all it is with such profundity and
circumlocution and completely that
the most reconcile cryptogram ever
rescued from a pyramid would seem to
burst of innocent and childish candor
in comparison. Yet he wears fine raj
ment every day. He enjoys the re-
spect and confidence Of the community.
He prospers. The oil of opulence
anoints him. He is the incarnation of

EXPENSIVE KISSES.

gagement 300 fell, killed and wounded.
In the year 1903 stray kiss was the
means of bringing about bloody ana
expensive war; Prince Ferdinand OF
Bavaria was journeying in a neighbor-
ing state. One day he visited 1.-The roy

was so beWitched with her charming
personality that he impulsively and
thoughtlessfy implanted a kiss upon
her fair cheek. She was princess OF
the royal household, which the prince
knew not, neither did he know that she
was an affianced bride and that her be-
trothed was near by and saw the
whole affair. Angry words and blows
followed. A duel was fought and both
principals were severely wounded. DIP
lomatic relations between the two king
doms were suspended, and a long and
bloody war ensued, all on account OF
kiss which was paid for most dearly in
blood and treasure.

TERMS OF THE CALIFORNIAN.

Burlington "feels its oats" to cousid-
cradle extent because she is talking
through 1901 telephones, which of course
is quite bit of telephone service. But
let's see: Burlington has a population
of say in round numbers, 0,000 and
she has 1901 telephones. ST. Johnsbury
has a population of 1000, and nearly 800
telephones; Montpelier and Barre have
nearly 600 apiece, while St. Adams, be-
fore the merging of the two companies,
was in the very front rank of the process
sion, with over 1000 phones. So, taking
into consideration the matter of popula-
ton, it will be seen that the Queen City
is not altogether sit" when it comes to
talking facilities.
