Jim's Quart of Gin.

Moon, of Tennessee, but | had one

shrewdest fellows | ever ran across.
Jim. for that was his name, was a
good negro, but he loved gin better
than he did his Maker, and he would
not pay a debt if there was any
earthly way TO get out of it, One
day Jim went to the store armed with
gallon jug and asked Tor a quart
of gin, telling the merchant that he
was prepared to settle. The fluid was
put in, and then it was discovered that
Jim had no money. Forthwith the
merchant poured the quart back in the
measure while Jim picked up his jug
and walked out smiling.
He had put in about quart OF
water. and, of course, he had just
that much gin and water in the jug.
The grocer's gin in his barrel was a
little weaker. but Jim's quart was
strong enough to bridge over on"

Degrees of Obstinacy.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan always
maintained that the Duke of Wei
lington would succeed in Portugal,
while his friend, Gen. Tarleton, had
the opinion that he would fail. The
matter was one of constant dispute
between the two.
Tarleton, who had been wrong,
grew obstinate. Consequently, when
the news of the retreat of the French
at Torres Vedras arrived, Sheridan, by
way of a taunt. said:
We'll, Tarleton, are you on your
high horse still?"

What Children Fear Most

The ratio of girls to boys in the fear
of rats and mice was rs to 10, as
might be expected.
1t was also ascertained that fear In

to the fifteenth year, and then de

Another novel inquiry enlarged upon
the fear Of ghosts in children. By
questioning the little ones and tabu-
lating their answers it was discovered
that the most frequent source of their
knowledge Of ghosts was in stories
told by other children.
Stories read by them ranked second
in frequency. OF all the other sources

edge from pictures. a fewer number.

Old-Time Naval Equipment

Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armament of Great Britains
medieval navy. The very names Of
many of the implements of attack and
defense sound queer. According to
the books, in the year 1887 the vessels
OF the navy were furnished with
."espringalds," ancient spring guns;
i~'haubergeons," coats OF mail; "baci-
nets" small helmets; bows, arrows,
doublets, targets; 'pavises," large
shields placed at the sides. and serv-
ing the double purpose of protection

early as 1888 cannon formed part Of
the armament of ships, and about 1872
guns and gunpowder were commonly
used Among the stores belonging to
one vessel of that time were three
iron cannon with five chambers, a
hand gun and three old stone bags,
probably for shot. Another ship had
an iron cannon with two chambers and
eae brass cannon with one chamber
. Among other implements Of war
used at that time were Cannon

A wellknown professor has recently
made some interesting studies with re-
gard to the causes of fear in the in
fantile mind.
A study of fear in the youthful sub
tects was made by distributing hun
dreds of lists containing all manner Of
cases such as might excite that emo
tion. Parents, teachers and other per-
sons-even the little ones themselves
marked off such items as the latter
really feared.
After reducing all Of the replies to a
table, it was found the highest num-
ber feared thunderstorms, the next
highest reptiles. Then followed in
order, according to the number fearing
them, strangers. darkness, fire, death,
domestic animals, disease, wild ami
mails. water, insects. ghosts and 9TH
ers.
A comparison OF an equal number Of
boys and girls showed that the girls
feared 1,765 things on the list, and the
boys ], JOG things. The girls exceeded
the boys in the fear Of everything ex-
cept water, high places and strangers.
