lated both the scientists on their work,
and drew from them minute account

passed as prisoners in The observatory
during the recent eruption OF Vesuylns,
a period in which the seismologists were
exposed 10 monetary danger of hor-
rib.e death. The party also examined
with keen interest The instruments in the
observatory and the records which they
had traced while The disturbance was in

Afterwsrd the royal party ascended

They Needed the Moon.

In a certain New England town there
is medical society which is Of some
sixty years standing and has the Gus
tom of meeting on the Thursday be-
fore the full Of the moon. Recently
some of the younger members tried to
change the time of meeting to the
third Wednesday Of every month.
Three Of the oldest members rose up
and protested. They gave the reason
for the peculiar arrangement "When
this association was formed said one
of them, there were no electric lights
and good roads the way there are
now. The society took in the whole
county, and it was often a difficult
matter for the doctors who lived in the
country to drive home after nightfall.
So we called the moon to our aid and
set the date for the Thursday before
the full of the moon. It is bright moon
light at seasonable hour then, and
the doctors could see their way home.
know there is no necessity for such
an arrangement now, but this will
seem like new society if we do not
meet the Thursday before the full of
the moon"

Carlyle's logged Scotch unsympa-
thetic persistency in measuring every
thing by, his own ideas was illustrated
by story which Huxley told of their
mutual relations. Carlyle and he were
for long good friends, but had a seri-
Gus difference on the evolution ques-
ton in the early stages of the contro-
versy. Their personal intercourse
ceased in consequence. After an in
terval of many years Huxley happened
to see the Scotchman crossing the
street in London and, thinking that by
cones might be bygones, went up to
him and spoke to him. Carlyle did not
at first recognize him, but when he
had made out who it was he at once
said with his Scotch twang as though
he were continuing the last conversa-
ton of years ago: You're Huxley, are
you? You're the man that's trying to
persuade us all that we're the children
OF apes, while I am saying that the
great thing we've really got to do is to
make ourselves as much unlike apes
as possible" Huxley, who had hoped
that the weather or politics might have
been admitted for the sake of peace.
soon found that the best thing he could
do was to retreat and return to their
taclt agreement to differ

after the wildly curious Marie, who
had been listening outside in the hall to
every word, and pulled her in.

She looked around the room and then
at the bag where Marie had slowed
everything necessary. From the win
dow she saw a large carriage slowly
approaching.
"Marie, Marier' she exclaimed. "Put
this in that big box and bring it along"
In her eagerness she lifted the dainty

protest and then tied up the package

The Saw.

Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by Daedalus; but, according to
Apollodorus, it was the invention of
Talus, who used the jawbone of a
crocodile to cut through a piece Of
wood and then made an iron instru-
ment in imitation Of it. The saw is
represented on the monuments of Egypt
from $500 to 5000 B. G. AS early as
A. D. 1922 sawmills driven by water
power were in operation at Augsburg,
and, it is believed, before this they
were in operation in Paris, driven by
the current of the Seine The first saw
mill erected iH the Norway pineries
was in 1880. Sawmills were numerous
In Italy in the sixteenth century. They
were not introduced into England until
1868, when native of Holland built
one, but was compelled to abandon it
by the opposition of the populace, car
penters and other artisans, who saw no
good in such neWfangled contrivance

ties housemaids. Thanks to these
young women, 1 secur at nominal cost
many an autographs gem. All 1 ask
of the maids is that they ship me week
ly the contents of their masters waste
baskets. They bale the stuff up in
burlap, and every Monday or Tuesday
it ZONES to me by freight. 1 go over
it carefully, making many finds. Here
will be a begging letter from a famous
author in hard luck. Here in a brief
note a great actor will boast of his
last success. Here will be q dinner
invitation from a celebrated million
aire. Some celebrities, Of course, save
their valuable letters, and some sell
them, but the majority throw into the
wastebasket most of the mail they re-
ceive, and 1, searching the baskets
contents every Monday morning, find
my reward in many a letter worth $40
or $40"

The Bed and the Candidates.

Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea-
ry one canvassed Kentucky together
as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They travelled
about the state on a joint debating trip
and in many small mountain places
had to sleep in the same bed. They
were warm personal friends and so
did not object to this intimacy. One
night MI. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised his bulky form and said
in his stentorian voice, "McCreary,
there is one thing c~ertain-the next
governor Of Kentucky is in this bed"
AS he spoke the bed Stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena-
tor McCreary caught and held himself
in bed, and, as Judge Harlan reached
the floor, said: John, you are right.
The next governor of Kentucky is still
in this bed"
