In one If Mir. Chase's classes in
painting was a young chap who could
not paint pictures much better than
he could save money. and the allow
ance given 10 him by his father was
very often gone before he knew it. one
day Mr.. Chnse was talking 10 the
class on the subject Of perspective. and
this particular student did not appear
TO get the idea very clearly. To make
1t plain Mr.. Chase went back TO the
rudiments to get a good start.
you understand he said, that the
farther you get away from any object
the smaller it %appears?'
The young fellow shook his head.

Mr.. Chase was provoked and not a

said so.

A Ounce is named after Duns Scotus,
the chief and, leader of the schoOlmen
who were in opposition to what was
called 1.-The new learning In the six
teenth century. II is easy to see how
readily convertible the term would be.
Any opponent OF the new learning
would he apt TO be referred TO AS Il
Dunsman, or, more briefly. az n Duns,
TO Indicate that ne held he views of
which Duns Scotus was the most emf
nent representative. But. u> the time
went on and the new learning triumph
ed, to call any one II nunsnIam or II
Ounce would be equivalent to describ-
ing him not merely as opposed TO II
certain sci OF doctrines, but as inca
pablo of learning and enlightenment.
1t is certainly hard upon buns Scotus,
as Archbishop Trench has remarked,
that he, the subtle doctor by pre-
eminence, the ''wittieSt of the school
divines," as Hooker terms him. should
have his name handed down to future
ages as IL synonym for invincible stu
pidity.

Grim Relics.

A prison sale is held annually in
Paris. The articles offered for sale

have been committed and the effects
which have belonged to the deceased
prisoners. Articles which have been
taken to the prefecture of police and
have not been claimed are also sold.
The proceeds go to the Paris aims
house. Unclaimed jewelry is usually
bought by ordinary brokers, but the
articles which have belonged to Grim
inals, especially those who are noto-
rious. are bought at high prices.

 That's just where you are wrong" quietly said gray-haired man with a tanned, weather-beaten face, who sat near the window smoking cigar. T think you will all credit me with knowing what I am talking about, as l have been a railroad engineer for the last thirty years; have run all kinds of engines, from mine dummy to hundred-ton passenger engine with a seven foot wheel, and have railroaded on all the principal lines in the United States.
 "The great majority of people seem to have the idea that the engineer of fast train is always in fear of run-ins and col lisions, and that he is under such a ner- vous strain that he sometimes has to be lifted from the cab when he reaches the end of his run. That isn't so. An en- gineer has too many duties, such as watching his signals, keeping water in his engine, and seeing that he is on his schedule time to have much time to worry himself about accidents that are likely to happen. As long as he pays the proper attention to his own train he knows that is all he can do and that if anything goes wrong 1t is beyond his con trol. /So he doesn't take up any of his

A Guide Who Is Blind.

In his article on the French fishing vil- lage of Honfeur. In Harper's Magazine for April. Thomas A. Janvier tells of his visit to the old church of St. Catherine s, where he was guided up the rickety lad ders of the bel-tower by a blind boy, the son of the bell ringer
 The bell-rnger answered my knock and led me up short stairway to a square room in the heart of the building" he says. He was a man of sixty or thereabouts; but he gave the impression of being as old as his bell tower, so heavy were his movements and so slow. I wanted to see the timber work of the tower and asked-evidently he was of too numbering a make to go with me-if l might climb 1t alone. It will be more commodious for Monsieur to be guided, he answered. My Jean here will have much pleasure in attending him. And to this he added. quite simply and naturally: Monsieur will observe that my poor Jean is blind. But that need occasion Monsieur no uneaslness Since the time when he was a little boy he has climbed the tower constantly. He goes up the ladders like a cat and he knows every turn of the way
 What the bell ringer told was the lt- eral truth. Without sign of hesitation the blind man led me first up a spiral stairway; and then up steep steps which turned and twisted through the beam work and then up ladders which still more sharply twisted in and out among the bells. Here and there, at risky shift ings. oak handholds were placed-the wood black and polished with the grip of countless long dead hands. The blind man climbed more easily than I did; and when we were come at last to a little chamber above the bells he opened. with a sure touch. four shuttered loopholes and bade me look out from them. The views were very beautiful and very in teresting, he said and added that they were as clear before him as though he could see them still This was not an ex- aggeration. As looked in turn from each loophole he told me the names of the
