A s6irnculous Escape.

It happened that in the last month of the reign of Charles l. certain ship chandler of London was foolish enough to busy himself over a barrel of gun powder with a lighted candle in his hand. He paid the price of his folly. A spark fell Into the gunpowder and the place was blown up. The trouble was the man who did the mischief was not the only one to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked, and the number of people who were killed was not known. In one house among the fifty a mother had put her baby into Its cradle to sleep before the explosion occurred What became of the mother no one ever knew, but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning there was found upon the leads of the Church of Allhallows a young child In a cradle, baby and cradle being entirely uninjured by the explosion that had lifted both to such a giddy height. It was never learned who the child was, but she was adopt ed by a gentleman of the parish and grew to womanhood. She must surely all her life have had peculiar inter- est in that church.-Sir Walter Be sant's London"

Rostand's Peasant Who Had Great

Rostand'. Peasant Who Had Great
 Power over Animals.
 "When Edmond Rostand had com pleted his beautiful villa at Bayonne he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of his inability to sleep" says a Paris paper. The rest fulness of the palace, however, and the charming surroundings worked won- ders, and after few days had passed the weary writer was able to sleep, and his friends looked for his speedy return to good health. But a dog blocked the progress of the cure. One night the dog began to bark, and in a short time dogs in all directions an- swered and the concert kept up until day broke. All efforts to locate the mischief making animal failed. Every night at the same time the barking be- gan, and no one could suggest a rem edy. One day one of the servants told about a ne'er-do-well In nearby vil- lage who had great power over dumb animals-possibly he might help. He was called, a large reward was prom lsed, and the barking ceased. A few weeks after the reward had been col lected Rostand was again disturbed by the dogs under the leadership of the same unknown barker. The peas ant was again called, and Rostand said, You must be well acquainted with the ways of animals to have such power over them The man beamed under the influence of the diplomatic fattery and proudly showed how he could initiate the whistling of birds and the noises made by animals in woods, barn or poultry ward. And how about dogsF said Rostand. Then the man began to bark, and immedi- ately the voice of the arch disturber was recognized. That's enough. said Rostand. Here Is twenty franc piece. If we should hear the dogs bark again, the police will be called The peasant saw that he had fallen Into 6 trap. the dogs were heard no more, and that, says the writer, is py dog story without a dog"

Practicfnr by Ear.

When Grover Cleveland was practic- ing law in Buffalo one of his friends was a lazy young lawyer who was for ever pestering him with questions about legal points that he could just as well have looked up for himself. Even Clevelands patience had an end One day as his friend entered he remarked ::
 .There are my books. Help yourself to them. You can look up your own case"
 The lazy lawyer stared at him in amazement
 "See here, Grover Cleveland" he said indignantly. T want you to under stand that you and your old books can go to thunder. You know very well that don't read law. I practice en- tirely by ear."-Everybody's Magazine.

GOING TO COLLEGE.

A Southwestern man describes, in the New York Sun, the rise and prog ress of the college in the Middle West. Up to the beginning of the Civil War the college man In the Middle West and the Southwest was an exception. The president of small college In the Interior of one State visited a town several times in search of students.
 His first visit was an event. It was announced in the pulpits that the presi- dent of the college would address the citizens in the courthouse on the ad- rantages of college education. The courthouse was filled. But when the president had finished his talk, and asked for students to enroll, there was no response.
 It was not because the citizens were Ignorant or too poor They appreciat- ed education to limited extent, but believed the private school offered all the advantages necessary.
 Another obstacle In the way cf the college education was the home tie. People then were not accustomed to travel as now, and many fathers and mothers were opposed to anything that would take their children from home.
 The president of the college went back to the town three times before he succeeded and got only one boy at the last.
 Unfortunately for this jealous edu- cator, the boy secured was dull, and returned from college duller than ever. He was a black eye to college train- ing in that vicinity for long time.
 After the incident died out, another boy in the town, whose father came from the Old Dominion, was sent to the University of Virginia. The day he started for college was an event In the town. The best people went to the steamboat to see the young man of. The journey then was long one water, stage and rail. The weekly newspaper in Its next issue made tho event the big news of the week. He did not return till he had finish. ed his course. When he did return, with honors, his coming was like a jubilee.
 He rode in an open barouche through the business portion of the town as If he were a hero. Women greeted him from the grounds by which the car riage passed. In the evening the young man was serenaded. He responded from the old portico of the home. The people who listened were stirred. They followed him exultingly into his home, where they were literally entertained, for his father was Virginia gentle man.
 That was the beginning of college education in the town. A company of students went to the old university the next term. A year after that col leges sprang up all over the State.
 If these incidents make a strange picture to an Eastern man, they also illustrate the spirit of the country. No missionary work for colleges Is now required in the Middle West and Southwest.

A GOOD COMBINATION.
Independence and Adaptabiiity Good
 Qualities to Be Joined.

Qualities to Be Joined.
 "One of the Burrills has gone to z sanatorium," announced Miss Rhoda. And another one has been so upset in her nerves getting her off. she's down sick at home, and Phebe Tilford's there to look after her. Phebe's as much cousin to the Burrills as she Is to the Altons, and they agreed to spare her Of course, they're not well there yet but Lucy's better, and Ellen's as well as she ever will be, I guess, and they couldn't expect to keep Phebe forever
 "I shouldn't wonder If she'd be glad of a change, even to a new sort or nerves. The Altons aren't exactly an easy going family when they're well, and when they're sick-chuck-fuu Of notions and whimsies, every blessed one of them. and each ones particular pet crankiness like poison to all the others. I don't wonder 1t ends up In breakdowns and hysteria. But with the Burrills-well, am surprised at things going wrong there. Such de voted family, and everything to make life easy, and good constitutions to start with. l don't understand It.
 Mrs Bonney sniffed. (Which Bur Till girl has gone to the sanatorium' '' she inquired.
 "Cecllia-no, Emily. Cecilia i the one sick at home. No. that's wrong. Emlly's at home and Cecilia Well. l declare, I'm not sure, after all. wheth CT 1t isn't Lucretia I'm thinking of. l always do get those Burrill girls mixed, they're 30 alike.'
 Mrs. Bonney sniffed again. That's what's the matter with them, believe. There isn't an individual idea or con- viction or taste in the whole six and their mother. Everything that comes up they sit In family conclaye and con- slider, and agree on a family opinion about, and that ends 1t. They live in little Burrillized world of their own and 1t isn't good for them. It's toe monotonous, and it's beginning to get on their nerves. They need good stir ring up, and I hope Phebell give 1t tc them."
 They said at the Altons' she was such soothing person." observed Miss Rhoda, doubtfully.
 "She would be, there. Phebe's inde pendent, but she's adaptable-and it's a good combination, Rhoda. Independ ence and adaptability There'd have been no nervous breakdowns with eith CT the Burrills or Altons If they'd hat them both. It's what makes family life comfortable and keeps 1t interest Ing. That's why everybody want: Phebe. She always blends, but she al ways adds a spice"
 "She does" agreed Miss Rhoda. "Bu wish she wasn't going to spice tn, Burrills quite so soon after blending with the Altons. How about her owl nervesf"
 Another result of the same com bination." said Mrs. Bonney, triumph antly. "She hasn't got any"

It is astonishing how much you can
learn from people in social intercourse
when you know how to look at them

giving them a great deal yourself
The more you radiate yourself, the
more magnanimous you are; the more
generous of yourself. the more you
