A Tale of a Hated Dish.

There is charming story told of the
great French painter Corot. Being
hospitable he frequently assembled his
friends to dinner, and dish of had
dock and potatoes, which everybody
hated, invariably followed the soup.
The friends, who thought Corot par
tial to the dish, always gave it when
he dined with them. At last, in reply
to the painters query, they admitted
that they detested the dish, but sup
posed he liked it.
Corot was grinning broadly. my
dear fellow. if you only knew how 1
hate the sight of it even. But Adele,
my cook, simply adores paddock and
potatoes. And it is no good-I dare not
go against her wishes. 1t is as much
as my place is worth. Not for worlds
would my awe of Adele induce me to
undeceive her as regards the value 1
attach to this one particular article of
diet"
And for the sake of Adele this little
group of great painters had for thirty
years been eating dish they could
none CT them bear.

Tree and Plant Leaves.

The general arrangement Of the
leaves on limbs and stalks of trees and
plants secures between each sufficient
space to prevent one leaf from interfer-
ing with another And not only are
leaves SO arranged as to exist independ-
emily of each other, but in a general
way they have taken upon themselves
the forms best adapted to secure the
maximum of sunlight as it is showered
upon them in different ATTITUDES. At
the equator, where the suns rays are
vertical, we find large fiat leaves like
those Of the banana, plantain and the
various species of the cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine "nee-
dles' are found. Then again note the
popularity CT the Australian gum tree
Instead of exposing their broad faces to
the sun the edges only are so turned
Were it otherwise the sun would rob
them Of all their moisture, it being a
well known fact that the gum tree
grows in the driest region on earth.

The Grand Canyon.


Once, crossing a little tributary of
the Colorado, l found that every drop
s2lashed on my clothes hardened to
lump Of mud and that where the wa
ter was but a foot deep my horse was
nearly washed away by its force.
That fact, Roger Pocock says in an
erticle in Pearson's, told me the secret
of the Grand canyon. Like the Nile,
the Colorado flows through a desert,
but the river of Egypt meanders softly
and muddy over low plains, spread
ing when 1t is full into harmless lakes,
whereas this headlong sluice of run
ming sand, launched at the naked
rocks, has the cutting powers of huge
steel saw. The country has risen per-
haps an inch year, but the torrent,
instead of spreading out over the land.
has sawed through the lifting rocks.
The country has risen to height of
5000 feet, while still the Colorado
flows at the ancient level only 1000
feet above the sea. That is the reason
of this profound abyss for 600 miles
through the very foundations of the
world. In all, 36,OOO,OO0 cubic miles of
solid rock have been ground in this
vast mall and hurled into the gulf of
California.

The Bald DR.. Smith.

While DR. Theobald Smith was lee
turer on bacteriology in the medical
department Of the Columbian universi-
ty boy came to him with message
from relative who was visiting in
Washington. When the boy saw the
doctor he put the note back in his pock-
ct, saying, "Its another DR.. Smith the
note is for"
Let me see the name on the envel-
ope," said the doctor curiously. ''That
is my name. The note is for me-"
"But was told" replied the boy, Ito
give it to the bald DR.. Smith"
ooh you got turned around little
on the name, that's ALL" replied the
doctor, reaching for the note.
And it took considerable argument to
convince the boy he was the right man.

The Man who Knew 1t All.

A Sixth avenue groceryman's boy ap
peared on the curb with a rat trap in
his hand. Twenty pedestrians stopped
at once and three dogs barked and
leaped at the prisoner.
Get out in the streetv' shouted a
voice.
Give that rat show" added sec
ond.
Hold on till / get my dogy' piped
a boy.
Say, bub,' interposed a fat man
with a cane as he pushed his way into
the crowd, have you had any expert
ence with rats? There's only one way
to handle 'em. Let me take the trap"
With bad grace the boy surrendered
it, and while some one held the fat
mans cane he held the trap high over
the street. When the spring door was
opened six or seven dogs were waiting,
and the rat didn't like the looks Of
things. He sprang from the door, twist
ed to the top of the trap and then
jumped to the fat mans shoulder.
The crowd noisily fell back. The fat
man yelled. The dogs butted in. One
dog got the rat and four dogs got the
fat mans legs. When that gentleman
arose, his silk hat ruined, he demanded
his cane. The holder had disappeared.
"Rats!" shouted the crowd.
And the fat man steamed fussily
down the avenue.-New York Press.
