The stnnrt Kings.

The family name of the Stuarts was originally, as MT. Bayley observes, Fitzalan. The original Walter Fitz- alan, brother of the ancestor of the dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew ard of Scotland, and from thls cir cumstance his branch of the family appears to have adopted the name Of Stewart. When the change began is not certain, but it was probably not later than the time of Alexander, the great grandson of Walter Fitzalan, for both his sons-James, the grandfather of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew art kings, and John. the ancestor of Lord Darnley-appear to have borne the name of Stewart. - Notes and Queries.

 How much greater than three-fourths is fOur-fourths?
 At first sight it seems an easy ques- tlon, but put 1t to your arithmetcal friends and you will probably ind that 1t will divide them Into two parties, one contending that the answer iS one fourth and the other as positively af- firming that 1t is one-third, while both will be ready to prove the accuracy of their respective solutions.
 The party of the first part ito use a legal phrase) may argue their point In this way:
 Five shiIlings is the fourth part of a pound. If you have 15 shlllingS, or three-fourths of a pound and some body gives you another fourth part you have a sovcreign-ergo, your four fourths Is one-fourth greater than three-fourths.
 But thls will not suit the other party at all, and they will proceed scornfu!T to point out that the argument is all wrong, since if you have l5 shilliugs and somebody is generous enough to add 9 shillIugs to it the donor is on ly giving you one-thlrd of the amount you already possess a times 8 equals 15, therefore your sovereign is only one-third more than your l5 shilllngS.
 It Is a pretty problem, and expert accountants have been known to wrm- gle over 1t for hours London Answers.

some great hospital, never was man so
waited on.
Yet. seeing that l embarked on a
semi-scientific voyage with the pen. so
must I end my quest in similar strain.
The surgeon who described karls in
juries so lucidly became curious as to
the meaning of certain hints dropped
by Hooper and myself. more especially
when he CHANGED to hear the elder
Grier denouncing kcitguomy and all its
arts.
Gradually, feeling my way with the
wariness of a mole. led him along the
underground paths of the sixth sense. as
far as l could track them He listened
with increased interest. Ultimately he
asked me to introduce him to Sir William
Macpherson. They discussed learnedly
for long time. and they agreed at last
in mild definition:
The upper temporosphenoidal lobe
contains the cortical auditory center"
they said. THE functions of the middle
and lower lobes are not definitely ascer-
tanned. Karl Grier is stated to have
exhibited abnormal manifestations Of
unrecognized cerebral activities. and as
these seem to have ceased since he re-
ceived blow. it is advisable to point out
that the resultant fracture of the skull
caused lesion of the two lobes in qucs-
ton"
They would go no further than that in
writing: but they went a long way
further in speech. and if any encourage
ment on the part of those eminent special
lists could have induced Karl to recover
his lost faculties, that encouragement
was certainly forthcoming.
He has unhesitatingly declined to
attempt any such thing. He is happy
in his wife. his children and his surround
ings. and he is not willing to tempt the
fates again. He has admitted to me that
he is still aware of tidal influence (which.
be it remembered. affects the solid earth
as well as the unstable water), and he
believes he has the power. if he chose to
exert it, of seeing and hearing far more of
other peoples business than he desires to
know.
But he refuses to face the unknown
again. He carried the experiment far
beyond the bounds of present scientific
investigation. l have described some
part of the inquiry and its outcome
Both of us are content to allow others to
take up the threads of knowledge where
they have fallen from our hands.

SOME BAY STATE SARCASM
Remarkable Train Facilities in &
Vermont Railroad junction.

The principal industry of White
River Junction, VT, is train de-
spatching. 1t is not at all monoto-
nous to those engaged in it. There
is always delicious uncertainty as
to when the despatching is to be
done. A train can't be sent out
again until it comes in, and those
that start from there can't leave I'M
til those they are dependent upon
for passengers arrive. That, Of
course, is much the same wherever
the industry is located, but elsewhere
there is some certainty about the ar
rival of trains. In White River
Junction there is no certainty. 1t
all depends upon providence and the
weather, and the weather is bit I'M
certain in Vermont and providence
is none too kind. IL
The railroad officials at White
River Junction are happy lot.
They all belong to the "Don't
Worry" circle and they live up to
their membership vows in every re-
spect. 1t doesn't concern them in
the least whether a train is five min
utes or five hours late, and usually
they haven't any idea until it pulls
in how late it is going to be. Ask
one Of them and he will tell you it
is impossible to know anything
about it. He recalls that it was re-
ported an hour late in leaving some
ungodly place way up in Vermont,
but that since then there has been
every opportunity for freight
wreck on the line or for the locomo-
tive to blow out cylinderhead, or
for the water in the boiler to freeze
up, or for the coal to be too cold to
burn even in the biblical hot place.
There are thousand and one things
why a train should be too late in
Vermont, but one has never been
discovered why it should be on time.
The Junction itself consists of a
triangular station. Trains come in
on every side of it, across the apeXes
and occasionally over it. The sta
ton was built with the idea Of MAX
ing it difficult for would be passen-
o,....s, 10 6nl- E..a:.4s-aI4d tha a -
chitect succeeded admirably. In
stinct is supposed to guide the trav-
eler, and "to err is human" The
trains are never placarded with their
probable destination, perhaps be-
cause nobody knows where they are
going. There are certain number
of tracks and certain number of
trains and they apportion the trains
to the tracks as evenly as possible.
In the waiting room is big gong
which is supposed to announce to
those eating pie and dougnuts when
train is about to leave, but the man
who runs the restaurant also rings
the gong, and he makes more money
when he doesn't ring it. In the in
terest of truth and accuracy it should
be said that it is only rung when the
pie-eaters and doughnut-mongers
are no longer doing business.

Stubborn Paper Wad.

Did you ever see paper wad that
is 50 stubborn that it will fly in the
face of one who tries to compel it to
go into the neck of a bottle? The
more you try to blow it in the more
it leaves the bottle.
You can try this with any large
bottle and a paper wad or cork small
enough to fit very loosely in its
neck. Holding the bottle SO that it
points directly at your mouth and
placing the cork in the neck, the
harder you blow on the cork for the
purpose of driving it into the bottle
the more forcibly will the cork rush
from its place in the neck.
Try this stunt and see if you can
discover what causes the peculiar
action of the paper wad.
