The late Lord st. Heller, better
known as Sir Francis Jeune, whose
presidency of the divorce and admiral.
ty court extended over many years,
was the only judge in London who
cycled. His other hobby was garden
Ing.
As president of the divorce court
Sir Francis Jeune saw much Of the
tragedy Of life. Yet when he was asked
what impressed him most In his ex-
perience in that sad place he promptly
replied:
1.-THE goodness of human nature"
His friends say that there was not
even tinge of cynicism In his nature.
He was always in high spirits and his
wit was sunny rather than caustic.
He was once reproached by a legal
friend for Joining prayers at the arch
bishops court, where they had gone to
impugn its competency in a certain
case. He instantly defended himself.
But prayed without prejudice"
he said merrily.
Sir Francis Jeune's habit of prayer
was undoubtedly acquired from his
father, DR.. Francis Jeune, at one time
bishop Of Peterborough. 1t lasted
through life and contributed alike to
the great lawyers practical common
sense and to his sympathetic insight

E-ecsting a Monster Elephant.
The Indian elephant named Fritz in
the zoolosieal gardens of Berlin was
Europe's largest animal until 1t finally
had to be killed for distemper. Dr..
Schilling was appointed hangman.
First he tried stranguldtlon by means
of ropes and puileys, but the ropes
broke and the elephant remained in
tact. Next he tried poisoning. The
animal was given fodder of fresh ba-
nanas, Which was devoured with a
relish Then a few bananas were
dipped in carbolic acid, but no amount
of cOaXing could make Fritz "go" them.
Finally shooting was tried. The heav-
lest big game rifle was procured and
shot was fired into the left armpit.
The elephant merely looked around in
surprise, the bullet having flattened
against the shoulder blade. Then a
Maxim gun was pulled up. A fusillade
of projectiles was pumped into the big
beast under the right armpit. The Gle
phant went down like house In its
death struggle, which was studied by
many scientists, it broke all its chains
and reduced part of the iron fence in
the paddock to scrap iron

sound Waves.

The sensation of sound, as is well
known, is produced by certain to and
fro or wave-like movement of the air
striking upon the drum of the ear and
so setting it in vibration. Each sound
wave consists of two portions, in be
Of which the air is compressed beyond
and in the other rarefied below the av-
erage pressure. If two sound waves
are travelling in the same direction, but
one of them starts half wave length
behind the other, the compressed half
Of one will fall upon the rarefied half
Of the other, the average air pressure
will remain undisturbed, and the two
sounds will combine to produce silence.
If sounding tuning fork be slowly
rotated near the ear four positions will
be found in which the sound will be
barely audible. This is due to such in
reference of sound waves as has been
described.

A storm on the Pacific.

The captain Of San Francisco tug
thus describes a storm on the Pacific:
When | say that the waves ran
mountain high am not exaggerating
the situation in the least. The tug
would be poised on the crest of a sea
and then be plunged down into valley
of water which seemed mile below
us. At times the moon would come
out through the clouds. and in the I'M
certain light The waves seemed twice
as high. The wind was blowing a per-
feet hurricane, and our lee rail was I'M
der water all the time. The angry sea
appeared raging above, below and all
around us, and nearly every wave
into which we dipped would wash over
the tug. 1t was impossible to remain
aft, for the lower deck was flooded"

How to Cut Glass.

Glass can be cut without diamond,
and the way is very simple. Dip a
piece of common string in alcohol and
squeeze it reasonably dry. Then tie
the string tightly around the glass on
the line Of cutting. Touch a match to
the string and let 1t burn off. The
heat of the burning string will weaken
the glass in this particular place. While
1t is hot plunge the glass under water,
letting the. arm go under well to the
elbow, so there will be no vibration
when the glass is struck. With the
free hand strike the glass outside the
line of cutting, giving quick, sharp
stroke with any long fiat instrument,
such as a stick of wood or a long
bladed knife, and the cut will as clean
and straight as if made by a regular
glass cutter

Stop chewing toothpicks. young

physician to one of his patients. You
unconsciously swallow little shreds of
the wood, which are not digestible and
which become compact in the stomach.
Finally you are annoyed by hacking
cough and the splitting of blood and you
do not know what is the matter with
you. You imagine you have consump-
ton or some similar affection when 1t
Is only the foreign substance in your
stomach, that makes the strongest pro-

will live out the allotted threescore and
ten years."

woIseIey's opinion of The chinese.

WOIseIey'S Opihion of the Chinese.
1t was Lord Nolseley who regarded
the Chinese as the greatest race in the
world. His opinion was formed about
1860, when he was in China, and he
never renowned it. He said to a rep
resentative of the Strand Magazine:
THE Chinese people possess all the
clements of being great people. They
have courage, physical power and alb
solute contempt for death. Today in
that country soldering is looked down
upon. Only the failures in life enter
the army. Let a Bismarck or a Ma
poleon rise up among them, and in two
generations they would be the greatest
nation and conquering power in the
world. They only need a leader. Give
them progress, and they will conquer.
Three hundred years ago they We're
the heaG of the world, but their growth
was stunted. China wants modern
man with modern ambitions. Let their
leader come, and they must revive
again.

An Exciting Raccoon Hunt.

On Friday, March 10th a woodsman
reported to Mr.. J. G. Skillman that he
had seen two coons go into hollow
tree at place called Big Run near
Cameron about three miles from camp.
Mr.. Skillman, accompanied by Mr..
Henry Dininny, Wallace Fields and
Maurice Young, taking their dogs and
guns set out for the place to secure the
game if possible. Upon arriving at
the tree they saw five coons go into a
hole about three feet from the ground.
Mr.. Fields was soon at work on the
tree with his axe, while the other gen.
tleman stood by with guns, ready to
shoot in short notice. At last the tree
fell and the animals were scurrying for
cover when three we'll aimed shots
killed as many animals and the other
two were soon engaged in a life and
death struggle with the dogs. These
last two were speedily placed hors du-
combat and as no more coons were to
be seen, the hunters were about to
otdiu ilOIleWdTu WHGn MT. El0IuS eye
caught sight of something glistening
under the fallen tree near the nest.
Upon examination he found it to be
Mexican silver dollar, dated 1869. 1t
was nearly as bright as a new one
could be. Upon further search
through the nest the hunters unearth-
ed razor and box of Brown Herb
Tablets, both of which were in an ex-
cellent state ofpreservation. Whether
this tree was the hiding place of valu-
ables for some old time hunter or
woodsman, or whether the coons with
their well known pulfering instincts
had purloined the articles from some
camp, will never be known. Mr.
Skillman will retain the Mexican coin
as souvenier and pocket piece The
coon hides aud trinkets can be seen at
the bookkeeper's office in Square
Timber Run.
