Ay, indeed. So far as these things

on the afternoon of January 80, 1885,
an attempt was made upon the life OF

the first effort that vas eve made to
shock the American people with the
taking of the life of a president OF

unsuccessful, and providentially so, for

On that afternoon the funeral serv-

THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird Is a
Nincompoop.

TO the mind of the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs is
quite so stupid as hen. He is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincompoop,
the common swan. The swan is so
stupid that it will stand in the shallow
part of pond and allow the water ia
freeze round its legs till the ice is so
thick that it cannot lift its feet and it
is stuck fast Not infrequently owners
of these handsome but wltess birds
are compelled to chop away sufficient
ice to make it possible for them to
withdraw their imprisoned feet.
The stupidity of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelli
when the weather turns cold. AS
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
In a wide, we'll defined circle. Round
and round they go during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But to return to the swan. If you
find one of these birds some distance
from the water and startle it, the swan
will rush few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to go through the motions of SWIM
ming, apparently unable in its fright
to realize that it has not yet reached
the water.
Neither is the common swan a good
fighter. The black swan, although
one-half its size, is invariably the vic
tor in the combats which are some
times engaged in and generally kills
it's antagonist. The black swan usually
provokes the fight, too, for it is rather
a quarrelsome bird.-Washington Star.

LITERARY BULLS.
For Instance, the "Groan That Gursses
From the Slain"

From the Slain."
Macaulay once reviewed a poem IN
which a climax of absurdity was reach
ed with this line:
And hearst each groan that gurgles from
the slain.
The poetic license which lets grOan
gurgle from a slain man Is capable of
letting him walk into town from the
field of. battle, collect the amount of
his life insurance policy and hand ii
to his widow. 1t brings to mind the
heroic warrior of whom it is said that
thrice he slew the slain" and the Irish
member of parliament who convulsed
the house of commons by eXclaimng
that he would die as soldier first and
a man afterward.
But strange to say, Macaulay himself
has made a similar blunder. In his
Battle of Lake Ragillus" the follow
ing lines occur:
The shouting of the slayers
And screeching of the slain.
Did these writer's make these slips
In the heat of battle or were they
testing the intellectual acutencss of
their readers? There is a story of a
German schoolmaster who used to call
out his class in history and begin to
tell them of the Thirty Years war. "Yes
children" he would say, this Is sub
ject in which l am especially interest
ed, as my grandfather often told me
about it. He was well to do innkcep-
err, and one day as he was standing in
his doorway mounted soldier came
galloping up at a furious rate. Whats
the matter" asked my grandfather
Matter enough answered the Dragon
Don't you know that the Thirty Years
war has begun today?" At this point
the ancient pcdagogue would pause and
survey his class. Then smile would
ovcrspread his rubicund countenance If
hand was raised and boyish treble
asked how the dragOon knew the war
would last thirty years. Perhaps our
poets, too would play the schoolmas-
ter and smile If we should ask them
how it is possible for the slain to groan
or screech.-George Seibel in Pittsburg
