CarIyIe's Way.

Carlyle appears in brief reminis-
cence from the pen of Percy Fitzgerald
thus: The thing with Carlyle was to
send out for a long churchwarden Ia
clay pipe and a screw of tobacco,
which put him in great good humor.
He talked to his plate, as you might
say. If anybody said anything from
which he dissented you would hear him
murmuring, "Oh, the puir auld fool; a

Curious Astronomical Calculation

ONA AO0S <ASeA
A European astronomer has recently
made some remarkable calculations
He figures that If all the living repre-
sentatives Of the human race were
strung out in space and separated from
each other by intervals Of mile the
line would only reach one-third of the
distance to the planet Neptune. If sep
arated by distances as great as that be-
tween London and Constantinople the
line would only reach halfway to the
nearest star.
