Carlyle and Emerson once had pas
sage of arms on the subject of the ex-
istence of the devil. Carlyle believed
in the devil. He had n robust and de-
faint faith in such parsonage, and we
know that when Carlyle had belief in
anything it was SO even II it wasn't
so. The great American writer did not
believe. They argued the thing for
some time. We'll, come and see him
for Yourself" said Carlyle, and the
poor poet, wondering whether the 9th
er had the devil chained up anywhere,
put on his hat and went out into the
London night. Carlyle took him round
to various gin shops in Seven DialS, to
certain dens OF infamy and low class
music halls. DO you believe in the
devil now" said Carlyle, Apparently
Emerson did not. They finished up
by going to the Distinguished Stran-
gers gallery of the house of commons.
1t was wild night of impassiOned
speeches, saving Of arms and thump-
ing Of fists. Emerson had never seen
anything like it and said so, and Car
lyle nudged his elbow into Emerson S
ribs and whispered gravely, do you
believe in a devil now?"

Hold it over heat until it is thoroughly
warm, but be careful not to sCOrCh it.
Then lay it down on the table and rub
it vigorously with the palm OF your
hand (see that your hand is thoroughly
dry beforehand), using rapid back
and forth movement.
When you think you have produced
sufficient friction stop the rubbing, and
hold the sheet of paper horizontally
over the butterflies, nearer and near
err, until you observe the butterflies
rising toward the paper, as they will
do.
After that as long as the electricity
generated by the friction lasts you can
make the butterflies follow the sheet
of paper around and around, this way
and that, for all the world as If they
were living and were tanned butter
flies.
Try it. You may not succeed at first.
but keep at it, and you will be success
full.

Diplomatic Gun Play.

The Coffeyville (kan) Journal tells Il
story of the quick wit Of a western gun
artist: Bob Chestnut had an alterCa-
ton with an IriShman i'll a western
cattle camp many years ago. The
Irtshman was a bully and bad man.
While Chestnut always wore a brace
Of six shooters in his belt he also car
ried Il sudden emergency Derringer in
his outside coat pocket. The Irish
man had an eleven inch Colt already in
his hand. Bob thrust his hand in his
pocket for his Derringer, but the weap-
on had slipped down in a hole in the
lining His hand coming in contact
with his pipe, he quickly drew 1t out
and placed it In his mouth. The Irish
man lowered his gun, which he had
elevated when Bob thrust his hand in
to his pocket Bob reached for his
pocket again, presumably for his to,
bacco Fumbling around, he secured
the Derringer, brought it into play like
a flash of lightning, and they carried
the Irishman away.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
The Father of His Country Was
Quite an Athlete.

The Father of HIS Country Was
quite an Athlete.
When Washington was commander
in chief of the army on one occasion he
went to the quarters of Colonel limo
thy Pickering, who had a negro serv-
ant named Primus. He found the colo
mel absent, but to Primus' apology re-
piled:
''Tt does not matter. | am greatly In
need of exercise, and you must help
me to get some before your master re-
turns
Under Washington's direction the ne
gro tied q rope to a neighboring tree,
breast high. Primus was ordered to
stand at some distance and hold 1t hOr-
izontally extended. Washington ran
forward and backward for some time,
jumping over the rope as he came and
went, until he was satisfied with his
exercise.
He learned fencing when quite young
His teacher was an old soldier who
had seen service in the Indies. His
stone throwing feats across the Kappa
hammock, over the Palisades and to the
top of the Natural bridge In Virginia
are mentioned by all his biographers.
Charles Peale, the artist, tells us
when he was painting his picture at
Mount Vernon in 1772 he saw him toss
bar very much farther than several
young experts who were testing their
strength that way.

As to Ladies' and GcntIemen.

"It's a fine thing to be lady or a
gentleman" said the bookkeeper.
"What's your idea of a gentleman
inquired the stenogrupher.
"a man that's clean inside and out
who neither looks up to the rich nor
down on the poor; who can lose with
out squealing and who can win with
out Dragging; who is considerate of
women, children and old people; who Is
too brave H. lie, too generous to cheat
and who taxes his share Of the world
and lets other people have theirs"
And what does it take to make q
Lady," asked the stenographer.
"a perfect lady is a woman who
can hear a choice piece of scandal
about her dearest enemy and then for
get it," answered the bookkeeper.
Huh cried the stenographer. THAT
kind of a woman wouldn't be lady,
she'd be in an asylum for the dumb

Marvellous strength of Birds.

Birds can eat and digest from ten to
thirty times as much food In proportion
to their size as men can. If man
could eat as much in proportion to his
size as a sparrow is able to consume
he would need whole sheep for din
ner, a couple Of dozen chickens for
breakfast and six turkeys for his even
ing meal A tree sparrow has been
known to eat TOO grass seeds In day.
Relative to the birds size, these seeds
were as big as an ordinary lunch has,
ket would be to a full grown man.

Little Nellie had been taught never
to put her finger into her bowl Of
bread and milk, but always to use her
spoon, like little lady.
When she visited her grandpa one
summer she was allowed to eat her
lunch out on the stone step. One day
a wee little pig came up and rudely
pushed his little pink nose into her
bowl of bread and milk.
"Oh, ohr' screamed the baby. "Be
a lady; take 'poon, pig; take 'poon!'
