No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender

One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that 1t is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to q writer in the American Magazine. He had been In the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans, one of which be sent to each member of his cabl net and to some other associates.
 All the boys" said Mir. Cleveland, thanked me politely for having re membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, found, had his cooked on a night when he was dining out. Another, when l asked him. said he hoped wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days Finally I asked him about It.
 "'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir--oh, yes, I got the swan all right, thank you and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 ".Fine bird,' said.
 ".Yes, sir. fine bird and he went on working.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
What It MeAns to Man to Be . Pioneer

To be q pioneer in thought is to stand alone with nature, not for Il few minutes. but for life. The iS',.ateness # the few great minds of each gen pratiou of men is utterly uudreamed pf, for want of understanding. by those about them. Yet think what 1t is to pass ones days in a thought world where the thinker roams alone: to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only ill years to come: to con template ill lonely ecstasy, after still
 onelier despair. the revelation that ccmes with months and more of pon- dering. When some one asked New' ton how ne came to make his wonder. full discoveries he replied, simply by always thinking about them." Consid.

Edible Flowers of india.

Many edible flowers, it appears. are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information. but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad' The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whos1 pale yellow eorollae are pulpy and thick. and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes. to which they give sweet flavor. but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to four. By allowing them to ferment kind of wine is produced. and by disulling them brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- ton Scientihque.

Hippos Mouth an Impressive Sight.
 The hippopotamus Is sort of float Ing island which inhabits the African rivers. To see hippopotamus rise out of the water and go away is as discon certipg to the tourist as 1t would be to see 4 sand bar get out of the Missouri river and chase COW. The hippo fife is too short to write his full name -is big brother of .the pig. He weighs five tons, and gargoyle is cute and pretty beside him. He is fat and fabby. covered with reddish skin adorned with bristles and has a broad. fiat head as wide as a dinner table. The mouth of the hippo is an. other of natures African extrava gances. He has mouth enough to dc the eating for boys boarding school His jaws are very flexible, and those who have gazed into the inner works of hippo when he has opened his vast pink lined mouth, studded here and there with tusks that look like broken of Grecian columns, have been impressed with the sight. - Golfers Weekly
