The Middle Horse.

A farmer, plowlng with three horses
hitched abreast. noticed that the mid
die horse became tired and exhausted
long before either of It's mates. AS
the animal was the equal I'm every
way of the other two. he was puzzled
as TO the cause of its not being able
to stand the same amount of work
He finally observed. however. that as
they drew the plow along the three
horses had their noses close togeth
er. with the result that the middle
horse was compelled to breathe the eX.
pired air from its fellows. The farmer
then procured long Jockey" stick
which he fastened with straps to the
bits of the outside horses. The device
worked perfectly, for, given its right
full share of good, fresh air, the mid
die horse was able to do the same
amount of work and with no greater
fatigue than its fellows.
Many persons are like the middle
horse-they do not get their rightful
share Of pure air. And this Is why
they are not able to perform as much
work nor of as good n quality as they
would otherwise be able to do.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

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
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 lady
wants to see you"
From the depths Of the blacksmith
shop deeper voice rOared:
as 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 rate that II
not destroyed the progeny of single
pair would soon cover the earth. The
elephant is reckoned the slowest breed
er of known animals. II 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.-Slr Ray Lancaster

Oriuin of Surnames,

Surnames were introduced into Eng
land by the Normans and were adopt
ed by the nobility about 100. The old
Normans used Fitz. which signifies
son, as Fitzherbert. The Irish used
o for grandson-O'Neal. O'Donnell.
The Scottish highlander used Mac, as
Macdonald son of Donald The Welsh
used Ap, as Ap Rhys. the son Of Rhys.
Ap Richard. The prefix Ap eventually
was combined with the name of the
father; hence Prys, Pritchard. etc. The
northern nations added the word son
to the fathers name. as Williamson.
Many of the most common surnames,
such as Johnson. Wilson, Dyson. Mich
olson. ETC.. were taken by Brabanters
and others, Flemings, who were nat
uraliZed in the reign of Henry W.,
1895.
