Inventors ShreWcness.

A story is told of certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ a large staff of eng,.
neers and mathematicians to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems.
Some time ago the inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of a certain
vessel of unsymmetrical proportions,
and asked his mathematicians to solve
the problem. AS the story goes, the
mathematicians spent weeks of time,
filed their books with their calcula-
tions and finally presented what they
said was a close approximation to the
true result. Thereuron the famous
inventor placed the vessel on n plat
form scale, filed 1t to the brim with
water. obtained its weight when full
and when empty. and in a few mi=utes
he had a result as good as the mathe-
maticiars-for that particular vessel.

Holland Woman's Cap.

The caps of the women of Holland
are not only beautiful, they are full of
significance. and eloquent through
their decoration and jeweling of the
worldly estate and condition of their
wearers, says the Delincator. The
wealthy burgher's wife in Amsterdam.
or The Hague, or in Dordrecht, who
lives perhaps in one of the numerous
fine old sixteenth century houses, who
is of ancient and respectable lineage,
who has retinue of buxom hand
maids to do her will and to keep her
home in order, tells of her good for
tune when she walks abroad to take
the air, for she wears beneath a mod

haps made in Bruges or Brussels or

Personality and Popularity.

To his countrymen Hugo appears as
the clear cut exaggeration of the
French type-the average Frenchman
magnified to the heroic scale. Their
attitude towards him was a close like
ness to that of many Englishmen to-
wards Gladstone. Everywhere we find
some writer exalted to a pinnacle be-
yond his strict deserts because his per-
sonality seems to mirror and to glori.
fy the national habit of mind. Per.
haps the Scotch reverence for Burns
is to be so explained. Certainly it is
because he was so very English-so
redolent of Christmas and plum-pud.
ding-that the memory of Dickens has
a vitality denied to that of Thackeray
and is kept alive by fellowships and
other societies. The Germans, for the
same reason, are more exuberantly en-
thusiastic about Schiller than about
Goethe.-The Academy.

ADDED TO TOWNS BEAUTY.
One Man Supplied Trees to All Of
TonaWandd,

DR.. Heinrich c. Leonhardt Of Ton
awanda recently supplied almost the
whole city with young trees. At din
ner which he attended he heard the
suggestion made that the city needed
shade trees. Immediately he bought
thousands of young elm, maple and
chestnut trees, and as soon as it was
possible had them shipped to Tona-
wanda and stored in a nursery there.
Then he announced that all who
would might have trees by applying
at the nursery. The effect was won
derful. Streets that never would have
had trees were soon filled with -four
ishing young saplings that in twenty
years will be priceless-a magnificent
monument to one man. Two thousand
of the trees were distributed in an in
credibly short time. There was more
tree planting in Tonawanda than ever
before. The only condition attached
to the offer was that persons taking
trees should guarantee to plant them
for shade purposes and to plant them
in accordance with directions given at
the nursery.-Country Life in Amer

CALLED THE VAlNEsT PEOPLE.
Distinction Accorded Tribe Living in
West Africa.

A French explorer claims. to have
discovered the vainest people in the
world. They happen to be also the
ugliest They are the Pahouins, saw
age West African tribe. AS the Pahou-
ms clothing is of so light character
as not to incommode him, he bestows
a good share OF his thought upon the
adornment of his body which he tat
toos in elaborate designs done in red
or blue. Both men and women take
immense pains in dressing their hair.
Their ingenuity, which is shown in the
construction Of scores of different
head-dresses of bone and metal for
the men of the tribe, chiefly the war
riors, is illustrated in far greater de
gree by the coiffures of the women
The extreme of simplicity in the Pa
houin women's methods of making
themselves beautiful is to shave the
head until 1t is smooth and round as a

Birds That Do Not Care 20 Fly.

Many birds do not consciously de-
light in the use of their wings. In
Nigeria. where the bush is continuous.
pheasants do not fly at all. Partridges
in England move to and from their
feeding grounds; but they love to skim
the earth, to whose tint they are col
ored. and use their higher fight only
for safety. Moorhens prefer not TO fly
at all. The majority of our home birds
and many of the smaller migrants
move very small distances of them
selves, and we look in vain for any
sign that they fly. as lambs skip, for
the fun of the thing.

Men and Clever Women,

Men are said not to like clever wo-
men, but it is rather the woman who
thinks she is clever and who fiaunts
her knowledge on every possible and
impossible occasion that they dislike,
said the woman of the world. An en-
cyclopedia is hardly the thing one
would desire for constant compan-
Ion and now and then man likes to
offer bit of information himself. A
man likes the woman who is cultured,
not book learned, who has assembled
information instead of swallowing it
whole. Only raw youth will ever
complain that such woman is too
much of bluestocking for him.-Ex-

Fish With Queer Name.

There is a fish in Hawaiian watera
which is known by the native name Of
Observation-Disclosures, which
means literally Sewing up the nose"
The Hawaiian method Of killing a pig
to be roasted is to smother 1t, not cut
It's throat, and 1t is smothered by sew
ing up the pigs mouth and nose. This
fish with the long name has spincs
which in ancient times were used as
needles to sew up the pigs mouth
Hence. the name more fully means
"the fish that provides the needles
