An Acceptable Clock.

A well known professor sometimes
became so much interested In his lee
ture that when the noon bell rang he
kept the class five or ten minutes over
the hour. Certain restless spirits
among the students thought they would
give him a gentle hint, SO they bought
an alarm clock, set it to go Off precise
" at noon and placed 1t on the profess
or's desk when they came in to the
next lecture They knew that he was
a little absentminded and expected
that he would not notice It, AS the
noon hour struck the alarm went off
with a crash, and those of the class
not In the secret started and took in
the joke at once. There was a round
Of applause. The professor waited I'M
til the alarm and the applause were
over and then said: young gentle
men, thank you for this little gift. /
had forgotten 1t was my birthday. An
alarm clock is something my wife has
needed for our servant for some time.
1t Is very kind remembrance on your
part" The professor then went on to
finish demonstration interrupted by
the alarm.-London Tit-Bits.

He Told the LAWYER.

Lawyer $. Is well known for his UNI
comely habits. He cuts his hair about
four times year and the rest of the
time looks decidedly ragged about the
ears. He was making witness de-
scribe a barn which figured In his last
case.
"How long had the barn been
built?"
"oh. l don't know-about year
mebby, about nine months p'r'aps."
"But just how long? Tell the jury
how long 1t had been built"
"well, i don't know exactly-quite
awhile"
snow, Mr.. b., you pass for an intel
ltgent farmer, and yet you can't tell
me how old this barn is, and you
have lived on the next farm for ten
years. Can you tell me how old your
own barn Isl Come, now, tell us how
old your own house is, II you think
you know"
Quick as lightning the old farmer
replied:
"You want to know how old my
house rs, do yei Well, it's just about
as old as you be, and the roof needs
seeing to about as bad"
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down, and Lawyer s. didn't
call him back.-London Globe.

Names In Alaska.

Life In Alaska is uncouth In parts,
but 1t has its rennements. In Valdes
there lived man named Jake, who
kept boarding house for dogs. When
the prospectors returned from their
sled trips they would place their teams
in his charge until ready to start out
again. AS he fed his guests on gar
bage gathered by house to house can
vass. he was known by every one as
"Slop Jake"
Once upon time he fell i'll, and the
newspaper wished to chronicle the fact
No one, however, knew Jake's other
name, and it didn't seem worth while
to waste the time of the editorial staff
en- so insignificant detail. So the
news was printed thus:
"Our well known fellow citizen, S.
Jake, is confined to his house with a
severe cold. 1t is hoped he will be out
soon" New York Times.

Names of Flowers.

1t rs interesting to know how GER
tain flowers get their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance, fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leo
nard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl. who brought them from
Peru. The camellia was so called for
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
OF the flower to France from Japan.
BE called 1t the rose of Japan. but his
friends changed 1t to camellia. Mag
noiias were named in honor of Pro-
lessor Magnol de Montpelier. who
first brought the beautiful tree to
France from America and Asia. Be-
cause 1t trembled with the wind Is
the meaning Of anemone. The Latin
word to wash is lavare, and lavender
received its name because the Romans
put the flowers into water when they
washed to perfume their hands.-New
Orleans Times-Democrat

Eoolinn the Beans.

A Yankee of the quaint old time type
was preparing to bestow coat Of
whitewash on his henhouse one spring
long ago. He had completed the mix
ing Of the whitewash, writer In the
Manchester Union says, and. looking
round for something on which to try
It, picked up bean pole and ran the
brush over 1t. Another local character,
who was driving by, stopped his horse
and called out: Hello! What ye white
washing your bean poles fory'
Thought everybody knew that beans
grow better on birch poles" returned
the other without pausing In bis work.
'Ye don't expect to make birch poles
that way, do yer"
''Mebbe not but whitening Of 'em II
make the beans think the poles are
birch anyhow"

fording the shooting, but these blrds
are now scarce. In those days an al
ternoon's stroll over one OF the large
guinea grass pastures belonging 10 tne
various sugar estates, with the ringing
whistle Of Bob White sounding on eV-
erv side, and the sudden whirr OF tnell
wings as a covey started up lloit,
among the grass at your feet and sped
away with great velocity, was an eX-
perience to be remembered.
The mongoose was introduced into
this island by some we'll meaning blt
mistaken planters, with a view 10 tne
determination Of rats in the canefields
and though these vermin were thinned
out Of those localities they have be-
come more plentiful in the buildings
where the mongoose cannot follow
them. and so this beast has turned his
attention to the quail and other ground
freuuenting birds. The consequent In
crease Of grasshoppers and caterpillars
has reached formidable dimensions.
Thus the mongoose, having increased
with the natural rapidity Of all things
evil, has become a plague.-Forest and
