HE KNEW HIS LESSON WELL

sult-Is Pardoned.

Frederick of Prussia had a
great mania for enlisting gigan-
tic soldiers into the royal guards,
and paid an enormous bounty to
his recruiting officers for getting
them, relates Judges Magazine.
One day the recruiting sergeant
CHANGED to espy a H%ibernian who
was at least seven feet high. He
accosted him in English and pro-
posed that he should enlist. The
idea of a military life and a large
bounty so delighted Patrick that
he at once consented.
"But unless you can speak Ger
man, the king will not give you so
much"
"Oh, be iabbers," said the Irish
man; "sure it's l that don't know
a word of German"
But" said the sergeant, "and
these you can learn in a short
time. The king knows every man
in the guards, AS soon as he
sees you he will ride up and ask
you how old you are; you will say,
'27;' next how long you have been
in the service; you must reply,
three weeks finally, if you are
provided with clothes andrations

SCIENCE AND THE FEMALE.
Puzzled Correspondent Wants to
Know How to Talk to Woman Who
Belittles Hayward of Her Sex.

Definitions have been defined
as dangerous things, writes a cor
respondent to the London Chron-
icle, and congratulations are gen
orally not less dangerous. Yet a
lady was recently heard to state
that no woman who event in for
science" could retain ladylike
qualities. No woman scientists,
it was declared, had "any man
ners"-and if she had any they
were only bad ones; she didn't
know how to dress, she didn't
know how to behave at table, and
so on. In a word, the path to
science for woman goes off at
right angles from that which goes
to culture, and the woman who
would attain to one must reso--
lutely turn her back on the other.
science does not, according to the
same authority, have ill-effect on
men to quite the same extent, but
the man who takes to it is at once
a marked man. OF such emphatic
untruths does after-dinner con.
versation sometimes consist.
What, Mr.. Office Window tasks
the perplexed correspondent, can
one reply to such generalization?

generalize is to tell, generally,
lies. Perhaps the T%enysonian at

big Wheat Yield.

The town has grown faster
than the railroad can keep pace
with it, and the station is not yet
built, says Ralph d. Paine, in the
Outing Magazine. On a siding
stands a bOxcar, with a flight of
wooden steps leading up to its
side door and a stOyepipe poked
through the roof. An alert and
capable young woman reigns
within as station and express
agent and telegraph operator,
She has even fenced off one cor
ner of the car, near the stove, as
a waiting room" 1t is such an in
significant looking makeshift of
a station and the town is so in
credibly new that the information
she bestOws in reply to your ques-
ton is staggering.
"In the first two weeks the sta
ton was opened the freight re-
ceipts at Antler were $4,000.
This is big, if you happen to know
that $500 worth of business a
month justified the company in
building d station and putting in
a salaried agent. The country
looks kind of empty to a stranger,
don't it? There doesn't look to
be much of anything besides Ant
Ter on this part of the map. And
Antler isn't what you would call
a metropolis back east in Mich
lgan, where was raised. But this
little brand-new town will ship
out 100000 bushels of wheat
next fall. That means nearly
$7OO,OOO in cash coming in TO these
farmers around here, and most
Of it spent right here in Antler.
The railroad will get about $780,
600 in freight receipts from the
wheat that is hauled from the new
elevators at Antler. And that
pays for a good many miles of
track over this fiat country. Oh,
we are doing pretty well, thank
you"

AIR is BEST LUNG BATH.
After Sitting a Long Time in Theater
OF Church, Fresh Atmosphere
Cheers and Strengthens.

"Our lungs, quite as well as our
bodies, need baths" said a physi-
clan. Especially do they need a
bath after we have sat for three
or four hours in the impure and
stale air of a theater or a church.
Then, if we could see them, our
lungs would look as unsightly as
the face of a coal-heayer looks
after a hard days work.
'They need a bath, but not a
water one. Air, pure air, is the
cleanser of the lungs, and to battle
them the head should be thrown
back, and through the nostrils
pure, fresh air should be inhaled
till the lungs are distended to
their utmost limit. About % of
the deepest possible lungfuls Of
pure air should be slowly inhaled
and exhaled.
"Then the pure air rushes like
a torrent through all the dusty
crannies and hidden, grimy cor
ners of the lungs, and it carries
out with it every impurity.
"After a long sitting in a the
waters stale air try a lung bath.
You will be amazed to find how it
will cheer and strengthen you"
