MADE HIM UNDERSTAND.
Least Intelligent Member of the Au-
dience Pleasantly Acknowl-.
edged the Truth.

. A famous scientist whose early home
had been in country district had long
promised to visit the scenes of his boy
hood and deliver lecture in aid Of the
funds of one of the institutions OF the
place. At last he fulfilled his promise,
and the lecture was given, relates London
Tit-Bits.
When, at its close, he was conversing
with some of the principal promoters OF
the affair they warmly congratulated him
on the facility with which he made his
rather technical matter interesting and
clear to his somewhat uncultured audi
ence.
oh" said he, by way of explanation,
II invariably fix my attention upon that
member of my audience who strikes me
as having the least intelligent face, and |
continue to explain any subject upon
which l touch until / see b. that per-
sons expression that he understands it,
Almost directly afterwards the leading
public official of the little town came into
the room and made his way to where the
scientist was standing. &
Sir" he exclaimed, you cannot pos
sibly believe how much real pleasure you
have given me tonight. 1t seemed to me
all the time as if your eye was never away
from me, that you spoke to me alone, and
that your whole wish was to make me
understand every word you said q

Russia's horses.

The Russian edict forbidding the ex-
portation of horses on account of the
war with Japan has very disadvan-
tageously affected several sections 81
Germany, particularly those of north
ern Germany. which portion of the
country has been accustomed to de-
pend for its general supply upon i'm
portation OF horses from Russia. In
the year 1903. 1900 horses. valued at
100000 marks ($4.046.00O), were

Astronomers Novel Tbeorv

The novel theory of DR.. Weight, a
German astronomer, is that the greater
part OF the moons craters represent
work of coral insects in long-vanished
seas. He finds that if the earth's trop-

bed would resemble the face Of the
moon. the coral formations appearing

Avoiding Dilution.

A Kentucky colonel, who in every other
way showed his enjoyment of his Bour-
bon, always shut his eyes as he lifted his
glass to his lips. As this is the way chill
dren are usually advised to take un-
savory medicine, his friends wondered
chat the colonel should show such an
aversion to looking at the beverage that
all the rest of Kentucky likes to gaze on
only less than to taste. Some one asked
him at last why he always shut his ewes.
He replied: "Ah'm afraid if All looked
ut it NAH mouth would watah and dilute
nah liquah." Chicago Chronicle. :.

Governor IaI'ollettc, of Wisconsin, al
though opposed within his own party
by the railroad, and corporate interests,

one of the encouraging sign, that the
people will. when aroused. vote for
decency and good government.
In Washington the vote for Judge

When the republican candidate for
governor falls from 10000 to 10000
votes behind the president it is clear
that the democratic candidate repre-
