Deserter Became Famous.

Observatory house, Slough, where
Prof. A. S. Herschel, FRS, has just
died, might never have existed had IT
not been for the lnmartial spirit of a
certain bandsman in the Hanoverian
guards a century and half ago, who
appreciated his calling so little that
he deserted and came to England
At Bath he obtained an appointment
as organist, a post which left him SO
much spare time that he made himself
a telescope, and with it, in 1881, dis
covered Uranus.
George III. at once made him his
private astronomer and built the
Slough observatory, in return OF
which the astronomer named the new
planet Georges star, name never
accepted outside England and long
since discarded.
At Slough the kings astronomer
made many notable discoveries, was
created Sir William Herschel in 1916,
and died four years later.-Westmin'

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the. Divine creative pow
err. Now, those who have disposed Of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written great many books
and some of them have won What the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity In some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

THE ANTS EGG TRADE.
Russian Gatherer Has insects Help
Him In Collecting.

Ants eggs come in the main from
Russia. They are the best food OBJ
tainable for gold fish, and canaries
and other cage birds thrive on them
wonderfully. They cost about so
cents pint In the forests of south
ern Russia ant nests abound. The
Russian egg hunter does not do his
own collecting there-he makes the
poor ants do it for him. Selecting a
hot, sunny day, the man first erects
little piles OF twigs, a dozen or more
of them, near the thickest colonies,
and then he kicks open all the nests
in the neighborhood. The ants know
that their eggs, thus exposed to the
sun would be made sterile in few
hours, and they take them up and
hurry to place them under the nearest
shelter. The nearest shelter is, Of
course, the little pile of twigs, and
under each of these there are soon
heaped the eggs from hundred
nests. The egg hunter, after smoke
and nap, has nothing to do but gath
er up his spoil and dump 1t in his
sack. He ships the eggs in hundred
weight bags, all over the world.

Mixed the Infants up.

At Southport, England, some years
ago, births took place in two families
living in the same house. In one case
twins arrived, and a single in the 9th
er. The three children were being
washed and dressed, and the father
of the twins coming in, the three were
placed in one bed with the idea of
leading him to believe that his wife
had given birth to triplets. The joke,
for that was all which was intended,
succeeded to the full-for the time at
least-and then came the question of
separating the infants and restoring
them to their respective mothers.
Here difficulty presented itself, and
the women in attendance were
shocked to find themselves unable to
say which was which. A Liverpool
paper says the identification has not
yet been satisfactorily established,
and it is case in which even Solo
mon might be puzzled.

MELONS IN STORAGE
HOW PEACE JUSTICE DECIDED
COMPLICATED CASE.
Both Sides Seemed to Have the Law
on Their Side, and the Judge
Arose SubIimeIy to the
Occasion.

Problems worthy of Solomons acu-
men are often submitted to these ru-
raj arbitrators, justices of the peace.
In the Macon county (Mo.) archives
is a case of this sort:
Timothy Kahn, farmer of Easley
township, set out some watermelon
vines which thrived so luxuriously
that they trespassed upon the field
of his neighbor, Felix Hopper. When
garnering time came Kain's attempt
to harvest his runaway product was
rebuked by Hopper and his shotgun.
The controversy got into court and
Squire William Easley, for whom the
township was named, was asked to de-
eide the ownership of ten watermelons
worth Is cents apiece. The lawyers
for Kahn read books to show that his
rights of property followed the vines
clear into the next county should they
travel so far. Hopper's lawyers pro-
duced equally sound reading to prove
that Hopper was entitled by law to
anything that camped on his premises.
1t wasn't Hopper's fault, they said, If
the vines wanted to spread out and go
visiting; he had the same right to
them that he would have to a colony
of honey bees that might get tired of
being with Kain and concluded to
move over and make honey for Hop

Squire Easley let the lawyers spout

books, then arose to his six feet and

the world about that till Guthrie here
got up and turned Mitchell's law bot
tom side up. There's no question but
what's there enough law in the books
for both Kahn and Hopper, and that
ought to make 'em happy. The court
decides, under the circumstances that
with the law deciding both ways,
there's nothing to do but to hand out
justice as he sees it. The Judgment
Of the court is that those are Kain's
melons"
Thank you, your honor" said

the justice.
But, your honor" said Mitchell, in

of the defendants rights, offset or no."

ity. And your own evidence shows

GRAVES NOW MADE LEVEL.
Radical Change In Cemetery Arrange
ments Meets With Approval.

Modern cemetery ideas that run
contrary to deep-seated sentiment usu-
ally create dissatisfaction when they
are first introduced. Just now, says
Park and Cemetery, the lot holders in
Cedar Grove cemetery, Brooklyn, N.
Y, are agitated over the rule provid.
ing for the leveling of all grave
mounds. Many OF the lot holders who
are now paying for annual care OF
their lots object to a notice to the ef-
feet that mounds on lots for which an
nual care is not paid would be leveled.
Some resent 1t as "a mean outrage"
Other cemeteries have had similar
experiences. In Lakewood Gene cry,

Is Love Influenced bx Dress?

One would hardly think that such q
beautiful passion as love could be in
fluenced by such sordid affair as
dress; yet the fact remains that is so
in many cases.
The neat, tidily dressed woman Is
admired by all men who know her;
they are attracted to her by reason OF
her artistic skill in dressing. A young
man is delighted to be seen In her
company, for it enhances his own rep
utation. Does it not demonstrate that
he has good taste in the choice OF, say,
a sweetheart?
A young fellow does like to see his
sweetheart turn up to meet him on an
evening neatly CARRIED; it not only in
creases respect, but love for her, and
If young women will take word oi
advice they will always see to it that
they are perfect In every detail, so far
as dressing goes, before setting out to
keep appointments with lovers.

MUSLIN wlNDc
Their Use In Dairy Eay Hell
to Prevent = lbtr,,.lcsis.

The experiment OF using muslin cur
tains in place Of window glass, which
has proved so successful in poultry
houses all over the country, Is now
being extended to dairy barns
The problem of ventilation has long
been one which dairymen have found
difficult to solve, says Suburban Life.
The new plan Is the acme Of sim
plicity. Several windows are removed
and replaced with frames over which
common muslin cloth has been slight
ly stretched.
Experiments have shown that even
in the coolest weather the tempera-
ture of the stable is lowered only two
or three degrees by the use Of these
curtain windows while the barns actu-
ally have seemed very much warmer.
This result is due to the fact that the
air is kept dry.
Where this plan has been adopted
the cattle have shown less evidence
of suffering from the cold and the at
tendants have admitted that the barns
have been more comfortable places in
which to work than when the glass
windows were in use. 1t Is the excess
of moisture in the air which causes
the feeling of dampness and chill
which prevails in many dairy barns.
Although the outside air is able to
pass through the muslin it is almost
impossible for anyone standing three
feet away to detect its entrance.
1t is possible that the introduction
of a system of this kind will do much
to prevent the spread of tuberculosis
among cattle. Poultrymen have found
that whereas under the old system OF
using glass windows and keeping the
house as warm as possible fowls were
frequently afflicted with colds and sim.
liar troubles, where the muslin cur
tain system has been adopted the
birds are much more free from such
complaints, and it is expected by advo-
Gates of the new system that there
will be similar beneficent results in
the case of dairy cattle.

Affection Between senators.

There was sincere affection be-
tween the late Alabama senators, Nor
gan and Pettus. 1t is said that Pettus
adored Morgan. He looked up to him
as few men look up to other men.
When Morgan passed away the fading
old veteran lost all interest in life.
These things sound unbelievable, per-
haps, to skeptical modern time, but
Morgan and Pettus did not belong to
modern time. They were relics Of
an elder age. They passed away al
most together. The death OF one pre-
ceded and, the Alabama men say,
brought about the death Of the other.
Together they lie in Selma, where,
side by side, they lived for 40 years.

Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
Peace and Concord.

A great many people seem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolVes
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have wed. After that they are always
in negligee, both as to manners and
clothes, when they are at home. This
is fatal mistake. Because a woman
is married is no excuse for her going
untidily about the house. and telling
her husband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because woman is his wife
gives man no right to say things to
her he would not dare to say to any
other lady who possessed a big, able
bodied brother. Good manners are the
preservation of peace and concord,
and are warranted to keep happiness
in any climate. The problem of how
to be happy though married is really
no problem at all. No mystery should
ever have been made of it. 1t is mere
ly fair dealing in fair partnership
giving the other party the privileges
and perquisites You assume for your
self and allowing the person you love
as much consideration and civility as
you would show a stranger-New
York Weekly.
