The Canary Is n Little Pig.

The canary is always regarded as o
small eater just as the pig is notorious
for its gluttony. People with small ap.
petites are often twitted for not eating
more than enough to feed a canary
and this led man who was tiny eat.
rr to watch the yellow bird and report.
He found that canary that weighed
24I grains ate just thrty-two times its
own weight in n month; that is, it ate
rather more than its own weight on an
average every day. Anyone who watch.
es the little bird will notice that il is al
ways eating. Now. says the invcstiga-
tor, pig doesn't eat It's own weight cy-

GrPut Men.

1t is a matter Of common observation
that at the passing of the great men Of
each generation there is pessimistic
feeling prevalent that there were gi-
ants in those days But the feeling
has never had any warrant In the ac-
tual deficiencies Of the oncoming gen
erations. Orators have come and gone
and statesmen have come and gone,
and sometimes their immediate sue
cessors have not been discernible. But
In time the men have emerged who
have taken their places and who have
improved upon the patterns they left.

HALLER WAS POLITE.
A story of the Famous Swiss Scien-
tist and HIS Election.

A story of the Famous Swiss scien-
tist and HIS Election.
Haller, a famous Swiss scientist OF
the eighteenth century, was once well
rewarded for his politeness to fellow
traveller. Some scientists find II hard
to take an interest in anything except
their own spectalties. 1t was not SO
with Haller His fellow traveller was
n good woman from Berne. The con-
versation fell naturally upon the com
modify for which Berne is noted
cakes
The Berne dame said with pride that
lhe could make fourteen kinds of
cakes.
What was her surprise and delight
when Haller asked her how she made
them She eagerly began a recital,
with copious explanations, Of those
fourteen recipes, and she had a good
listener
Perhaps Haler regretted his rash
question. but he did not show It. He
listened patiently and smilingly to the
end, and he and the Bernese woman
parted very good friends, though he
had hardly spoken word. 1t Is safe
10 say that iu all his scientific re
searches be had not learned so much
about the combination Of butter and
sugar and eggs.
Some time afterward he was elected
10 an important political office. From
some quarters he received an uneX-
pected number of votes. Then he
found out that his Bernese cakemaking
friend had been so impressed with the
. Intelligence and ability Of her fellow
traveller that when she heard he was
running for office she gave her rela-
, tives. friends and acquaintances no
! peace of mind until she had secured
! their promise to vote for him.
