Origin Of the Tent.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam on his expulsion from para
disc encountered a cutting north wind,
against which his scant girdle of fig
leaves proved poor protection. AS he
wistfully cast his eyes over the DESC
late plain of Shinar he perceived at a
great distance a dead thorn bush.
Running thither, he crouched behind it.
and while still shivering he saw a wild
ass come by. And Adam cried to the
beast to lie down alongside and keep
him warm. But the ass spake out
C'for asses sometimes spake in those
days as SINCE" saith the commentator.
and derided him for not having a
warm coat of fur, whereupon Adam
waxed wroth and slew the ass with a
piece of the thorn tree and, with teeth
and nails stripping off the ass coat,
wrapped it around himself. But to-
ward noon, the sun growing hot and
a scorching wind arising, Adam con-
ceived the happy thought of hanging
the skin over the bush and reposing in
the shade thereof. 1t was done, the
tent was invented, and civilization be-
gan.--Outing.

Statistics of the longevity of animals
may not be very accurate, but they are
interesting reading. Among the larger
species of cattle there is some approach
to uniformity. Thus for the horse and
donkey the extreme limit is about 35
years and for horned cattle about 80.
For the dog it is given as %, while
sheep, goats, pigs and cats are grouped
at 10. Among birds the disparities in
length of life are very remarkable.
While a goose may live to be 80 years
of age, a sparrow % and a crow 100,
ducks, hens and turkeys die of old age
at II. The palm for longevity is divid-
ed between the elephant and the par
rot, which both often pass the century.
The swan and the eagle also are very
long lived.

Mrs. stanton and Bad Children.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was fond Of
children, though not of bad ones.
Once in Boston she was calling on a
young woman whose little son, par
ticularly vicious urchin, played about
her while she conversed.
The child would pull his mothers
hair kick and thump her, nor did he
hesitate to try now and then these
tricks upon Mrs. Stanton.
She said calmly, "Y,ou are bad boy,
aren't you?"
"He is a bad boy" his mother in a
sad, hurt tone confessed.
81 prefer bad children, though" said
Mrs. Stanton.

PLAYED IN SHAKESPEARE.
Unique Presentation of the Apothe.
cary In "Romeo and Juliet"

Sdi III nOIHSO anu JuISIs
'People who apply for positions
in dramatic companies sometimes
have queer ideas as to the consist
ency of things" said theatrical
agent the other day. Several years
ago was managing a company do
ing standard and Shakespearean
plays in cities of the middle west.
One day young man-beardless,
aignifed, with all the marks of ru-
raj training -came up to me in the
corridor of hotel in a little Indiana
town. He wanted to act and wanted
it badly.
"'What have you played? p asked
him.
4 made big hit,' he replied,
when the Crescentville Literary
Lyceum played Romeo and Juliet"
last month";
"'What did you play-Romeo?'
ooh, no, sir. played the apoth-
ecary.'
"'Make hit in the apothecary?
/ had right to be astonished. You
know, the part is very small one
merely tottering, starved old man,
whose poverty causes him to break
the law by selling poison to Romeo.
I made very big hit reiterat-
ed the dramatic aspirant confidently.
Indeed, SO great was my success
that did an encore
Howl I was now too much
astonished for words.
We'll, you see, it was this way
the youth explained. My conception
of the role was original-all my
friends say Pm very original in ev-
erything | do. You know the place
where the apothecary gives Romeo
the poison and Romeo hands the old
beggar purse? Well, it's been so
long since the apothecary knew
what money was that the instant
he felt the purse in his hand | made
him fall in a fit. I rolled around
for awhile and frothed at the mouth;
then two men came on the stage and
carried me away
"'But how did you do the en-.
core?'
'"The boy looked at me contemp-
tuously for a moment before he re-
piled: oh, | say, you don't know
what an encore is. The audience
liked my acting SO much when l had
that fit that they clapped and clap
ped and wouldn't let Romeo finish
the scene. So l came out ard bow
ed, and they handed up bunch of
American Beauties that mother sent
me. Then / gave them the encore
l pretended to fall in another fit :"

To Cheaper a Portrait,

Old Uncle Ben wanted to have his
portrait painted, but he did not
care to pay very much for it.
"Surely that is very large sum, .
he said when the artist named the
price.
The artist protested and assured
him that, as portraits went, that
was very little to ask.
Uncle Ben hesitated. "Well," he
said at length, Chow much will it
be if | furnish the paint ?"--Lippin-
colts.

FOR THOSE WHO THINK.
)on't daily with your purpose.

Don't daily with your purpose.
Character is the poor mans capital.
Men call their own carelessness and
inactivity fate.
The lucky man is the one who grasps
his opportunity.
The largest room in the world is the
room for self improvement.
We get out of life just what we put
into it. The world has for us just what
we have for it.
Don't brood over the past or dream
or the future, but use the instant and
get your lesson from the hour.
Stock taking every day is a great aid
to advancement. Stop and add your
self up at the close of each day and
see if you have anything to carry over
If you have nothing but ciphers to car
ry over something is wrong somewhere

GaIiIeo,s Caustic Hunor

Ga1i1eO'S CaUstic Hum0r.
In a Biography Of Calico some sto-
ries are told of the caustic humor of
that bold investigator. Lotario Sarsi,
a writer on science, having said that
the Babylonians used to cook eggs by
Whirling them in a sling, Calico re-
piled: THE cause of such an effect is
very remote from that to which it is
attributed, and to find the true cause
shall reason thus: If an effect does not
follow with us which followed with
others at another time it is because
in our experiments something is want
ing which was the cause of the former
success and if only one thing is want
ing to us that one thing is the true
cause. Now we have eggs and sings
and strong men to whirl them, and yet
they will not become cooked; nay, if
they were hot at first they more quick
ly become cold and since nothing is
wanting to us but to be Babylonians it
follows that being Babylonians is the
true cause why the eggs became cook
ed and not to the friction Of the air,
which is what l wish to prove"

The Number Seven.

Seven is very lucky number,
and, judging from its frequent use
as a great mystical and symbolical
number, it was also very popular in
days gone by. There are seven days
in the week, and the seventh day is
kept holy. There are seven deadly
sins-pride, covetousness, lust, an
ger, gluttony, envy and sloth.
There are seven virtues faith, hope,
charity, prudence, temperance, chas-
tity and fortitude. The seven cham
pions of Christendom were St.
George for England, St. Andrew
for Scotland, st. Patrick for Ire
land, St. David for Wales, St. Den
mis- for France, ST. James for Spain
and st. Anthony for Italy. There
were seven wise men of Greece, there
were seven ages of man, Rome was
built on seven hills, there were seven
ancient wanderers, and a celebrated
legend has seven sleepers for it's he

Sleep,

Up to the fifteenth year most young
people require ten hours sleep and till
the twentieth year nine hours. After
that age every one finds out how much
rule, at least six to eight hours are nee
essary. Eight hours sleep will prevent
more nervous arrangements in women
than any medicine can cure. During
growth there must be ample sleep if
the brain is to develop to it's fullest ex-
tent. and the more nervous, eXcitable
or precocious child is the longer sleep
it should get if it's intellectual progress
is not to come to premature stand.

Twelve Miles nm Hour.

At the beginning Of the last century
the royal college Of Bavarian ply
sicians sought to forbid steam railway
travel because it would induce de-
lirium furiosum among the passengers
and drive the spectators crazy, while
an English quarterly said that it would
as soon expect the people to suffer
themselves to be tied to one of Con-
greve's rockets as to trust themselves

The Fate of ALI.

From a chance remark one may
sometimes deduce a long line Of
tragic circumstances. A little girl
known to the Washington Post has
for a mother a charming woman
widely known in public work.
One day the child heard a calf
down in the barnyard crying for it's
mother. She trotted thither and be-
gan consoling it through the bars.
''Don't cry, DEAR" said she.
'Don't cry. Your mamma will
come home soon. She isn't lost.
She's just gone to the club"

Resentinq an Insult.

Some time ago the play of ''Ham,

provincial theater. In a scene with
Polonius the crafty old courtier
asks, "Do you know me, my lord ?'
And the prince responds: Excel
lent well. You are fshmonger."
On hearing this an old woman in
the pit stood up and, shaking her
list, shouted excitedly: "Well, and
sposing he is? That's better than
play acting any day."
