Ingenious Kindlinesa.

Many stories are told of the kindly nature of Monsieur Fallieres, the pres ident of the French Republic. The London Telegraph vouches for the truth of the following incident. The Presi- dent was presiding at banquet at Agen, when piece of money dropped from his waistcoat pocket to the floor. The gentleman who sat by his side told him. Il think" said he, you have dropped two-franc piece"
 "Let it be-" said Monsieur Fallieres "it will be a lucky find for the waiter" Then he called the waiter, and whis- pered to him to look out for two franc piece, which he would find on the floor.
 Toward the end of the dinner Mon- sieur Fallieres was seen by his neigh Dor to be feeling with pre-occupied air in his waistcoat pockets. As he rose he looked round, fancied he was not observed, and gently let two-franc piece slide down upon the floor. His neighbor, who had noticed the strange proceeding, asked Monster Fallieres af- terward if he would tell him what it meant.
 "The fact is," Monster Fallieres an swered, "that I remembered. that keep only coppers in my left-hand pocket, from which the piece dropped that you supposed was two francs, whereas it must have been only two sous So took out of my right pocket, in which keep my silver, another coin, which that time really was a two-franc piece, and dropped it for the waiter to find. I did not want to dsappoint the man after telling him, you see."

HOW NICKEL cor ITS NAME.
Derived from One of the Appella-
 tiOns of His Satanic Majesty.

I1Onb OH 1fl5 Sutuhlc MsaJSStys
 About 200 years ago, in one of the German copper mines, an ore was dis covered which had all the appearance of copper, but every known process failed to get any copper from this ore. The German miners of those times were superstitious-in fact, most min CTS are to-day. They claimed they could hear the kobolds, the pixies and the gnomes at work in the mine from which the ore was taken, and when the shelter failed to produce copper from the ore they one and all refused to go into the workings again, saying the ore had been cursed by an evil spirit. They called this ore ''kupfer-nickel," or Old Nick copper. Cobalt, name which has become so familiar of late, is nothing more than the German for an evil spirit.
 This curious ore aroused the inter- est of the scientists of the world and for years chemists worked on it. Cron- stedt, famous German chemist, began series of experiments with this cop per and succeeded in isolatins metal unlike anything that was seen before It was not copper, it was not silver, though it looked more like the latter. Although the ore was proved to be of value, the name of Old Nick stuck to it and it is still known as nickel.
 Several years later another mineral was discovered in this ore and on ac- count of its hidden qualities was called kobold, for the reason already given. That an Ontario town should owe its name to a German evil spirit seems strange, but it is suitable one on ac- count of the millions of dollars worth of silver cobalt found there.
 The name of Sir Hussey Herbert Vivian, of Swansea, Wales, is among the earliest associated with nickel. He was successful in getting nickel from Norwegian and Swedish ores, but only in small quantities. Later Joseph Wharton started factory at Camden. N. J., to develop the deposits at Lan- caster, Pa. Wharton knew nothing of what Vivian had done, but worked on a process of his own. After years of labor he produced few tons a month of a low grade nickel, which sold at fancy prices. The first samples of nickel seen in America were at the Philadelphia exposition in 1876, when several small articles made of this metal were shown as curiosities.- York Tribune.

Churchyard Novelty.

In the churchyard of the little Mid dlesex village of Pinner, England, there stands monument quite distinct from all those which surround 1t. It consists of tall, square pyramid over- grown with ivy through the middle of which projects coffin made of stone. This monument was raised by son to his parents, William and Agnes Lou don, as the inscriptions tell. They do not, however, tell why he chose to have his parents remains poised in midair in the stone shell instead of being buried in the usual manner. This curi ous act is accounted for in strange way. It appears that his parents came into some money which was to be theirs "so long as their bodies were above the ground" When they died, therefore, in order that the money should not pass into other hands, their son "buried" them in this curious man. ner, and, despite the apparent injustice, his object was attained.

Man May Save the Earth.

Dr. Saleeby furnishes in Harper's an interesting contribution to the discus sion of the length of mankind's life on the earth. If the sun is growing cold, and the earth must eventually freeze, the death of the races seems in- evitable. But Dr. Saleeby contends that the philosophers of the theory of evolution do not sufficiently consider the mind of man. He conceives it pos sible that when mans mind has mas. tered the laws of gravity, human intel ligence may develop plans altogether different from the apparent course of the earth's destiny. His conjectures are most interesting, based, as they are, upon thorough study of accepted sci ence.

DAHLIA FOR THE SUMMER.
Horticulturist Makes n Find in Mex-
 icO-NeW Plant.

Anybody who wants can now have dahlias blooming practically all sum- mer, according to the Washington Star. The Department of Agriculture recent ly turned the dahlia from a late fall flower to summer boomer. It was more or less of an accident but one of the explorers of the department was down in Mexico recently and found a little, insignificant flower growing half wild, as most flowers and cattle do i'll that country. It was true dahlla, but its flower was insignificant and of a pale yellow color. The only peculiar ity about it was that 1t started bloom ing in the early spring and kept it up all summer.
 The little dahlia was gathered in along with a lot of other things and sent to Washington. There was ques- tion whether anything could be made out of it, but MT. Oliver, the plant juggler of the greenhouses, was set to work with it, and by judicious amount of crossing and twisting of its natural proclivities he finally produced plant that not only would bloom all summer, but bore big, crimson flower as fine as any autumn-blooming dahlia in the greenhouse.
 To be sure, with the average hortl- culturist raising dahlias in the spring may seem rather like eating strawber- ries at Christmas, but it has added an- other possibility to the varieties that will deck the American garden in the summer, and it shows, too, what good things are laying around in the veg etable world only waiting for some one to come along and make use of them.
 Speaking of pick-ups in the agricul- tural line, orange-raising may not be agriculture in the strictest sense of the term, but the seedless orange, which is one of the most important factors ill the orange market to-day, was a pick LID of the same sort. The tree was a find down in Brazil, where there were few seedless orange trees growing along one of the rivers. Some of them were sent to the United States, and b. grafting, budding and enarching on or dinary sweet orange stock seedless tree was produced that has multiplied and spread, so as to make the fortunes of a large number of growers in Flor ida and California. It only shows that agricultural explorers are sometimes worth all the money that is spent on them on several trips where they turn LID nothing at all. They are more or less like prospectors in the West. When they do strike they strike 1t rich.
