A TickIish Moment.

IF to act cleverly on the spot is the
measure Of tact. then the man who
figures in the subjoined New York
Tribune story deserves both respect
and admiration: A woman. driving
through New England last summer,
noticed suddenly that her horse limped
a bit, so when she reached the next
village she stopped at the door Of the
blacksmith shop. A man was holding
up the doorpost, and to him she said:
''Will you please tell the blacksmith
to come out? / want to see him.
After the manner of the village
idler. the man did not stir, but smiled
sweetly at the woman and. lifting up
his voice, called:
"Bill. come out! There's a lady
wants to see you"
From the depths Of the blacksmith
shop a deeper voice roared:
SIS she young, John. Or old?"
In the words of the old poem, "she
looked at John and John looked at
her" Then. still without moving he
answered:
you'll be satisfied. Bill, when you
get out"

Survival of the Fittest.

Only one oyster embryo out Of every
100000 produced grows up through
all the successive stages of youth to
the adult state. Even In animals
which produce a small number Of
young there is great destruction, and,
taking all the individuals into consid-
Grafton. only a single pair Of young
arrive at maturity to replace their par
ents There is no exception to the rule
that every organic being naturally
multiplies at so high a rate that if
not destroyed the progeny Of single
pair would soon cover the earth. The
elephant is reckoned the slowest breed
er Of known animals. 1t commences
to breed at thirty years Of age, dies
at 100 and has six young in the inter-
val. After $50 years, supposing all
the offspring Of single pair fulfilled
the rule and were not destroyed in an
untimely way, there would be nearly
100000 elephants alive descended
from the first pair.-Sir Ray Lancaster

Two men had a personal Ell, Junt.r.
One of them after vainly tt. ing ID
draw his pistol from his hip pocket
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to
have been fired. His assailant was
tried for murder. The defense con-
tended that the man had SHOT himself
while trying to draw his pistol, which
had become entanglel il the lining OF
the pocket. and that The prisoners slot
had not taken effect. The prosecution
contended that such wound could
not have been self inflicted. The defend
ants counsel. Clement L. Vallandig-
ham, undertook to demonstrate to the
jury just how the dead mans pistol
had hung in the pocket and just how
possible it was to inf1ict such wound.
Suddenly there was a loud report, and
the lawyer sank to the floor The ball
had entered the back almost in the
identical spot where the dead man had
been shot. The defendant was acquit-
ted. Mr.. Vallandigham died. Elk
