WEAKNESS IN THE MORAL,
Listener Not Quite Convinced Of Ap.
plleation Of Story.

During the regime of the late James
I. Furber as general manager of the
Boston & Maine railroad IL happened
one morning that all trains into Bos.
ton were very late. At a small sta.
ton, about five miles out one passen-
ger was waiting who had a number of
men employed in his business, and to
MN the delay was very annoying
Several trains went by without stop.
ping at his station, and the annoy.
ance grew to positive raging, and
when he finally did get to Boston,
nearly two hours late, he made a bee
line for the general managers office
That official, however, was not ex.
pected until some time later, and the
passenger withdrew, in no way salts.
fed When he did meet Mr.. Furber
his feelings were little intensified
by the addition of several of his ia.
Vorite morning drinks. Mr.. Furber
and the passenger were old friends,
and after listening to the complain.
ants remarks, the general manager
sought to appease him, and said: sit
down minute, John. | Want to tell
you o story" and John sat down again
and listened attentively.
An old woman was brought to this
country by her children, but the place
did not agree with her and she soon
began to fail. Her doctor ordered
stimulants, but even this did not
check her disease. Just before she
died, she wanted one more drink, but
this her daughter refused, saying:
Mother, dear, you don't want to go to
Heaven with the smell of whisky on
your lips! Do you see the point,
john asked Mr. Furber.
NO, I'm hanged II | do" replied
John.
We'll, John" said Mr. Furber, your
breath is strong enough % throw an
engine off the track"
But, confound it, JIM" answered
the now quieted visitor, you don't
mean to say that with only you and
here this is Heaven"

Modern Farming.

Thirty years ago threxhins time
was ono Of the most strenuous occa.
sions that came to the farmers an
nual experience and was something
thst was dreaded as much by the
wclen folks of the house as the farm
o. himself, as 1t required two or three
days TO thresh the average crop, with
10 and 20 men and as many teams
to be fed and housed. and the stacks
of fried chicken and apple PIE that
disappeared during these days was
something wonderful to behold. This
u now an changed. The tnreshinE
crew come down the road with their
whole ou<ht en- train, pull in along
side Of the stacks and In ten minutes
are AT work, and no one Is surprised
IL they are threshing ten bushels a
minute. The sheaves being fed auto
msttsaRy. tse thrsshed grain runs d.
reotly into the farmers wagons, the
straw being stacked automatically,
taking away most Of the lAborious
and dirty part of the work Of tho old
times. and for the average farmer one
day cleans up tho whole job, aAd the
thresher has moved en- TO the next

Lung Fishes.


Several examples of a geological
paradox-a fish which would be speed
lily drowned If placed in deep water
have just been added to the collection
at Regents park. This is the African
walking fish, which spends the great
er part of it's existence upon the mud
banks of tropical rivers. Its method
of progression has been described by
naturalists as of the hop, skip and
jump" variety, and when journeying
inland, as it does over long distances,
it climbs by means OF the breast fins
over the roots and even into the
boughs of trees. These curious crea-
lures, which belong to an important
group known as lung fishes, form a
connecting link with the higher forms
of life, the air bladder being converted
into what is practically lung. When
the rivers dry up in the hot season
they bury themselves in the mud,
breathing in the air like a frog or a
newt. In Australia there are several
varieties of lung fishes, one Of the
largest, which Is much esteemed as
an article of food, sometimes attain
ing a length of six feet,--London

six years ago. Since then we have al

The Old Plane Tree of Cos.

In the island of Cos, in the Aegean
sea, there stands, jealousy guarded.
huge plane tree, measuring nearly
Is yards In circumference. 1t Is sur.
rounded by a podium, or raised plat
form, breast high, doubtless built to
support the trunk of the tree after 1t
had become hollow and weak from
age. The lower branches are still
wsn preserved and have been shored
up by pieces of antique columns, over
the upper ends of which the branches
have grown like caps In consequence
of the pressure of their own weight
Close by the tree is a solid marble
seat which Is said to be the chair of
Hippocrates, the father of medicine,
and 1t Is supposed that he taught the
art OF healing from that seat. He was
born at Cos AGO B. c. This gives a
clew to the age of the celebrated tree,
which must be considerably more than
1900 years old.
