The thing to aim at in studying the

Of quality, of small effects. Many Of

well as far as it goes. it Is a very ele-
mentary kind Of thing. The perception
Of which l speak is perception which

In the shortest stroll, even in a momen-
tary glance from window. The things
to look out for are little accidents of
light and color, little effects of chance

When the Ostrich Hurrie..

Two feet is the usual stride of an os-
trich when it walks, but when the
bird is alarmed and commences to run
1t exchanges its mincing stride for
fourteen foot steps, which easily carr
~ it over the ground at rate Of twen-
ty-five miles all hour. Ordinarily an
ostrich makes no effort to profit by it's
length Of legs, and many birds with
legs less than a quarter as long habit
ually use three and four foot stride,
for it seems to be one of the rules of
nature that birds like ostriches, famin-
goes and cranes extend their stride
only when alarmed. The ostrich when
1t runs takes both feet off the ground
at every stride. it's pro42ss being
made by means of series of jumps so
rapidly performed as to leave the OBJ
server under the impression that one
foot remains on the ground until the
other is placed.

Ton, Hooa,. Test

The following story is one which
Tom Hood was rather fond of relating.
He was once asked to contribute to q
new journal, not exactly gratuitously,
but at small advance upon nothing
He accepted the terms conditionally-
that is to say, provided the principle
could be properly carried out.
Accordingly he wrote to his butcher,
baker and other tradesmen, informing
them that it was necessary for the
sake of cheap literature and the inter
est of the reading public that they
should in future furnish him with their
several commodities at trifling per.
centage above cost price.
1t will be sufficient to quote the an.
swer of the butcher:
Sir-Respecting your note, cheap litera-
ter be blowed! Butchers must live as
other pepel, and If SO be you or the read
in publick wants to have meat at prime
cost you must buy your own beastesses
and kill yourselves. I remain, etc.,

why the Horse Heed. the suxler.

An interesting report regarding the
development of the musical sen e in
horses was made by committee Of
German biologists and botanists. The
report says: The investigat tons as to
the musical sense of horses have shown
that that sense is very poorly develop
ed in these animals. 1t has been prov.
ed beyond doubt that horses have no
notion whatever Of keeping tire TO
music, and that at circuses they do
not dance according to the tune. but
that the musicians have to keep time
according to the steps Of the animals.
"Other investigations show that
horses do not understand military
trumpet signals. 1t is only the rider
or the animals instinct of imitation
which induces horses to make the
moves required by the signal, but no
horse without rider, however care
fully trained, takes the slightest no.
tice of trumpet signal. and the same
observation has been made on large
number of cavalry horses without
riders.'

The honor Of having produced the
first newspaper has long been disputed
by Italy, France, Germany, England
and Holland, and for years the British
museum exhibited paper called the
English Mercury. said to have been
printed in 1888, but which proved to be
practical joke of Lord Hardwicke.
As the first German paper only appear
ed in 1915, in Frankfort; the first
Dutch paper in 1917, the first English
paper, the Weekly Gazette, in 1922
and the first French paper in 1881, the
priority Of Antwerp in the field now
seems to be established BY exhaustive
researches, which show beyond a doubt
that the printer Abraham verhoevven
Of Antwerp obtained in 1905 from the
5Archduke and Duchess Albert and Isa-
belle the privilege Of printing the nrst

Science Of Bell Ringing

1t was Sunday morning, and the bell
ringer had just finished ringing the
chimes that called the godly to church.
BELL ringing is a science. Did you
know that?" he said. 1T is called
campanology, and there are abstruse
and technical terms in it, like Kent
treble bob,' 'Stedman cinques,' double
court bob,' lodges 'noils' and 'stin-
goes Each of these terms defines a
certain phase or kind of bell ringing.
In England there is society, the Cen
trail Council Of Bell Ringers, that every
campanologist desires ardently to be-
long to. Maybe you think bell ringing
10 simple? Do you know what peal
10? A peal in ringers parlance is a
series of 5000 changes rung upon a
chime, no change occurring more than
once."-New York Press.

during and after the civil war, Impress,
ed many who came to him with appeals
for aid as Il stern and even heartless
man. He was frequently contrastel
with President Lincoln as his very Op-

incidents described to his latest biog-
rapher by men who knew him we'll
show that he sometimes suffered as
bitterly as those whose requests he felt
compelled to refuse.

Of their heartbreaking sobs and pray

turned, apparently unmoved, and
walked into his private room.
"My own heart was wrung with

One cannot help hoping that this de-
serter may have been one Of those
whose lives President Lincoln spared
by overriding the decision Of his secre-
tary Of war.
A more cheerful view of the great
secretary is given by fellow lawyer
who knew him before the war.

Ohio to Pittsburg when he saw man

matter that will doubtless be
brought in and thoroughly aired
before the end is reached.
The language used in the
offending article was caustic, it is
true, aud this paper has no means
of knowing whether it was justi-
fed or not, as it has neither
formed nor expressed an opinion,
having made no investigation,
whatever, nor felt more than a
mere passing interest therein
That remains to be brought out
in the trial, where it will be
sifted to the bottom, without
doubt.
If the gentlemen are injured
certainly they ought to have re-
dress. The question as to
whether they are really hurt
without cause, or if so, as to
whether they were hurt by Mr..
Crawford, or some one else, are
matters for the jury. This paper
does not undertake to express an
opinion.

they seek to hold him liable.
The matter complained of was
not stated in the notice of suit,
and this paper has not at this
time. had either the time or in
clination to investigate the
matter, but common report has
it, that it was a communicated
article, appearing in these col

ton of the County Court in grant
ing Messrs Garrett and Richard
son, $500 each for serving as
members of the Building Com
mittee for the new Court House.
In this article the writer made
frequent reference to grating
and 'grafters,' as opposing the
interests of the taxpayers, and
doubtless this is the language
complained Of. The main ques-
