Professor Matched the Boss.

Boston and Cambridge people of al
earlier day remember well Professor
Child of Harvard, scholar who was
likewise a live man. They tell win
great gusto a story about his faithful
attention to city politics. Professor
Child always attended to his duties as
a citizen of Cambridge. One night he
went to a ward meeting at which a
boss began to put forth some of his
warped ideas. The college professor
was speedily ON his feet and scathing-
" denounced the boss and his methods.
After the meeting was over the good
natured boss, just to show that he bore
no i'll will, met the scholar on the
stairs and, genially handing over a CT
gar. said. "Have a smoke, profess?''
His antagonist Strengthened up, took
the cigar and said with great dignity,
eyes, I'll match you III any of your
lesser vices!"-Boston Herald.

Safe and Swift.

The pupils in No. 3 school in
Bushby knew that whenever Mr..
Lamson paid them visit there was
one question he was sure to ask,
and their answer was always ready.
The other selectmen might pro-
pound geographical or arithmetical
puzzles, but not Mr.. Lamson, chief
of Bushby's fire brigade.
It was the closing day of school,
and the children, having listened to
three addresses with drowsy pa
tience, were glad when Mr.. Lamson
rose to conclude the exercises.
'Now, children" he said cheer
fully, "you have listened most at
tentively to the words of Mr.. Howe,
Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Ranlett. l won
der what you would do if | made
you little speech"
The shift from the usual question
was so unexpected that the children
answered before they had time to
catch themselves.
"Form in line and march quietly
out of the buildingl" they cried in
prompt and joyful chorus.

THE SHOEMAKER SAINTS.
Story of the Roman Brothers Who
Pershed by the Sword.

Perished by the Sword.
st. Crispin and his brother, Girls
pinian always associated together
in the calendar), were two natives
of Rome who, having become con-
verts to Christianity, set out for
Gaul to preach the faith about the
middle of the third century along
with st. Quintin and others. The
brothers settled at scissors, where,
in imitation of the apostle Paul,
they preached publicly in the day.
time and worked with their hands
at night, earning their own sub
sistence by making shoes, though
nobly born. They supplied the poor
at a. low price, and a legend tells US
that an angel supplied them with
leather. The heather listened to
their instructions and were aston
ished at the charity, disinterested-
ness, piety and contempt OF glory
displayed in their lives, and many
were converted to the Christian
faith.
After they had been thus engaged
for several years the Emperor Max
imianus Herculius came into Belglc
Gaul, and a complaint was made to
him against the brothers. He, de-
string to crafty their accusers as
well as to indulge his own savage
cruelty, gave orders that they
should be brought before Rictius
Varus, the most implacable enemy
of the Christians of that time. The
saints bore with patience and con
stancy the most cruel torments and
at length finished their course by
being beheaded with the sword
about 287 A. D.
According to a Kentish tradition,
their remains, being cast into the
sea, were washed ashore at Romney
marsh. In the sixth century a
great church was built in their hon
or at Scissors, and st. Eligius richly
ornamented the shrine.
From their martyrdom to the
present time they have been re-
garded as the patron saints of shoe
makers, who were accustomed to
honor their day (and are yet in
some towns) by great festivity. One
special ceremony was a procession
of the brethren of the craft with
banners and music, while various
characters representing King Girls
pin and his court were sustained by
different members.-St. James Ca

EYE WINKS.


Times q Minute.
The average person winks his
eyes every three seconds-that is to
say, twenty times minute, or 1900
times in an hour. This means that
an ordinary days work for pair of
eyelids is from $4,000 to 10000
winks.
A wink is accomplished in about
one+fiftieth of second, so quickly
that, as anybody may observe for
himself, it does not in the slightest
degree interrupt continuous vision.
But the notion that winking is in
tended by nature to give repose to
the eyes is a mistake, the object of
| it being merely to keep the surface
of the sensitive little. organs con-
stantly moist. The moisture, which
is necessary for the health of the
eyes, is supplied, of course, by the
tears.
For this purpose-that is to say,
to keep the eyes continually bathed
considerable quantities Of salty
water are secreted. The water is
flowing all the time and would pour
out over the edges of the eyelids
were it not for an oil which is fur
nished to prevent this. This oil is
secreted and supplied by little
glands along the rims of the lids.
There is also a tear duct, which car
ries off the superfluous water and
gets rid of it.
The mouth of the tear duct is
plainly visible on the edge of the
lower eyelid near the inner corner
Of the eye. 1t is a small pipe, which
leads down into the throat, so that
when one puts into the eyes any,
thing with a pronounced taste, like
cocaine, the flavor of it is presently
distinguishable in the mouth.
The eyelids, if closed, are abso-
lutely water tight. They do not ex-
clude light, however, nearly so well
as most people suppose.-Saturday

One can diagnose a case of typhoid because it is a continued fever, char acterized by peculiar course of the temperature, by marked abdominal symptoms, by an eruption upon the skin. But there is nothing in what goes by the name of insanity to fur ther a diagnosis as that term is un- derstood by medical men generally.
 Some treatises upon insanity prove nothing at all by proving too much, for they make whole nations insane at once. Physicians connected with in- sanity, as Dr. Savage argues, resemble gardeners rather than botanists. "We classify for convenience rather than upon a scientific basis, because, in point of fact, no such basis or finality of mode has as yet been discovered"
 Perhaps. adds Dr. Savage, there is no need to wonder at this, since many have to be treated as lunatics whose brains and nervous systems show no change whatever from the normal course of what is recognized as sanity.
 Unfortunately the impulse to define and classify sometimes leads to misin- depreciation of deplorable kind. Such, for example, is the false view, as Dr.

Fun With a Jury.

One of the most amusing yet unex- pected sensation scenes ever witnessed in theater occurred once at the The ater Royal, Manchester. The curtain drew up for Mir. Toole to address the court re BardelAversus Pickwick when suddenly the jury mysteriously disap- peared, the bottom of their box having fallen out. At first the audience was silent. fearing some dreadful accident had occurred. but as the unlucky jury men rapidly 'reappeared unhurt, though looking foolish, they broke out into a perfect hurricane of laughter, which lasted several minutes. The curtain had to be dropped to allow the jury to he boxed again. and when Mir. TOOle began his address he provoked another burst of visibility by alludlng to the jury as that worthy body of steadfast and immOvable men"

They Worship the Cow.

In the Nilgiri hills of southern India there dwells race of men, the Todas, who devote the whole of their career to the worship of the COW or, to be precise. of the buffalo. Their most sa- cred temple is COW house, and the whole life of the people is governed by the most rigid observance of the routine of dairy work, every detail of which is performed with the most elab- crate ritual. They alone can perform the duties of milking and buttermak- ing who have been duly consecrated for this work by fasting and the per formance of mysterious rites. Repre- senting the only priesthood, they are compelled after their initiation for the rest of their days to play the part of the dalryman. The lesser priests may marry, but the high priest must be a celibate at least for a given period of years.

Hartridge going down into that death hole for all by himself? He'll be sure to catch yellow fever and die, especial. ly as there's no one to see to him. It. 1t isn't you, is 1t, little girl?' He did not wait for an answer, but went on in the house and left Phillida standing amid the flowers, white and shaking. Life or death! Her chaotic thought untangled itself with lightning rapidity. A few minutes later, with a satisfied smile, she ran on up to the house, then into MT. Pendleton's room and began to get his things together for the journey.
 Exactly at o'clock a girl in crisp white shirt waist and mushroom sailor, smothered in wells, left cab in front of the Union depot and walked into the general waiting room. She looked about her furtively. All the faces were unfamiliar, and, depositing her grip and parasol in corner of seat, she went on to the ticket office. A crowd was ahead of her, and she fell in line quite casually. Soon a man in light gray suit and alpine, with topcoat over one arm and suit case suspended from the oth- CT, pushed his way through the throngs in the rear.

CROP. IS SMALL.
Cranberry Crop Only Seventy Per
 Cent of Last Year.

Barnstable, Mass, Oct 22.-The harvesting of the Massachusetts cranberry crop is almost finished and the output is estimated to be about 70 per cent of the average. The berries are generally of good size and quality. The price has ad- vanced steadily since they were first placed on the market, from S5.5O a barrel at the start to more than a dollar above that at present with in dicatiOns of an equal advance before the Thanksgiving buying starts.
 The independent growers are hold ing their product from the market in the expectation of this advance. The growers who are allied with the Cranberry Sales Co, an organization which controls a large part of the output, however, are generally sell ing their berries under the apparent belief that the Wisconsin crop of 10000 barrels, which is late when placed on the market, will cause a fall in price.

Savage deems it, that every person of unsound mind is lunatic. That, he says, is a "pseudo-legal" absurdity. Obviously there are many persons of unsound mind who are neither danger ous to themselves nor to others. Why therefore regard them as aliens?'
 The true difficulty. insists this distin- guished expert, is that the disease in- sanity does not exist. Yet one might almost conclude from the elaborate ar- ticles in our leading daily journals that such a thing as insanity is definitely established scientific fact; that it is a malady as definite in its symptoms and origin as, say, cancer or tuberculosis.- Current Literature.

PERFECT SANITY.
An Impossibility From Strictly Ssien-
 tific Point of View.

An ImpossibiIity From Strictly ssien-
 tific Point of View.
 Anglo-Saxons are so prone to take common sense views of things that they seldom realize the full force of the familiar saying that all men have some form of madness in them. The sound inference is, as is pointed out by Dr. G. H. Savage, the eminent Eng fish alienist, in a recent Lancet paper, that perfect sanity would be not only undesirable in itself, but from a strict ly scientific point of view impossible. For perfectly sane person-were such a thing thinka ble-would be dull and uninteresting-a mediocrity, nonen- tity.
 The point to seize, however, as Dr.. Savage impresses upon us, is that there can be no comprehensive idea or definition of insanity, because the thing does not really exist No scien- tist can set up any standard of ration ality departure from which would com prise or denote insanity
