The MieroScope.

There is good reason to believe that
the magnlfying power Of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. \ convex lens of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins of the palace Of Nimrud.
And it is pretty certain that after the
invention of glass hollow spheres
blown of that material were commonly
used as magnifers. The perfection OF
gem cutting shown in ancient gems.
especially in those of very minute
size, could not have been attained
without the use of such aids to the
eye, and there can be little doubt that
the artihcers who could execute those
wonderful works could also shape and
polish the magnlhers best suited for
their own or others use.-New York

The Empress Eugene, whom Napo,
leCu Ill chose to share his throne, had
a ready wit, which, although it never
yelled a sneer, often confused those on
whom it was directed. The late DR. T.
w. Evans tells in his "reminiscences
The story Of a distinguished senator,
who on being asked what he thought
of the speech in which Napoleon had
declared his marriage intention to the
deputies, replied:
"a fine speech-excellent! But l pre-
fer the sauce to the fish," meaning chat
Napoleons words were better than his
choosing of bride.
Some weeks later, at a dinner given
at the Tuileries, this senator was seat
ed next to the empress, who, observ.
ing that after having been helped tc
the turbot he declined the sauce, said
to him, smiling roguishly:
Monsieur, thought it was the sauce
you liked and not the fish"
With rare presence of mind the sena-
tor hesitated but a moment.
"a mistake, madam" he said, "for
which l am now trying to make
amends"

Tho Corner DAYS.

Some aged country folk like to take
note'of what they call the corner days
the Goth of March and the Goth OF
September-when the sun crosses the
line and the days and nights are of
equal length and the Goth Of June (the
longest day of the year, and the Goth
Of December Ghe shortest. After the
goth of June they say, when the days
grow shorter the weather grows hot
ter" and after Dec 90, "As the days
begin to lengthen the cold begins to
strengthen"
Levi Beebe, a noted old weather
prophet, who used to watch the wealth
er from his eyrle on Beartown noun
tain, southern Berkshire, Mass, made
prophecies which were greatly priced.
He made his representations from Il
study of the winds, the clear, cloudy
and stormy days for ten days each side

Hungry Holsters in their natural
state seldom refuse fish of any kind.
whether dead or alive. The favorite
bait with fishermen is fresh or stale
herring, but even shark meat is used
at a pinch. HOLSTERS also eat small
crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In
deed, there are few forms of marine
life suitable for food which they re-
fuse. HOLSTERS sometimes capture fish
alive. striking them with the smaller
of their two great claws, which for
this reason fishermen call the quick
or fish" claw. but they will live for a
long time. especially when confined
without taking any food. If you tether
the lobster by the large claws, you will
find that. like the muskrat. he will go

Some one may suggest that if Crom-
well and Napoleon Bonaparte and Bis
marck and George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had not appeared to
do the work they did others would
have arisen equally capable of doing it,
though perhaps in different way. TO
this suggestion there are two answers.
One is that it is pure conjecture. The
other answer is that history shows us
many occasions when the great man
was needed, and when the need of him
was acutely felt, and yet when he did
not appear. The greatness Of some
men is largely due to favoring condi-
tons. Other men, perhaps more bril-
liant, achieve less than their powers
seemed to promise because they were
not quite in key with their own age.

The members of that school
board were very queer charac-
tiers. The clerk, at one time a
professor in some Illinois col
lege, had moved to fair Kansas
in search of health and fortune;
the director and treasurer were
two typical sworn enemies be-
cause each claimed all the range
from the Smoky Hill to the
Union Pacific railroad, and each
had taken a homestead in Big
creek valley in order to control
all this range.
The director, better known as
"Old Bob," very bad man when
drunk, was killed in saloon in
Dodge City few years later.
These three families and two
others were the only ones inter
ested in the school, as all the
other stockmen were bachelors.
I secured boarding place,
