senator Vest was making a buggy
campaign In southeast Missouri some
years ago." said Missouri official.
''His driver was small 10y, who was
duly impressed with the Importance
of his distinguished passenger.
AT each town visited by. Vest the
boy hurried his team to convenient
livery barn and then raced for the
courthouse, or wherever the 'speakin''
was to take place, and perched him
self with painful regularity on the
front seat. He invariably turned his
eyes on the senator and took in every
word Of the speech as If his very life
depended on 1t.
"Finally the lads continued conspic-
uous presence among his auditors an
noyed the senator, and he kindly but
firmly reminded the boy that it was
not necessary for him to attend every
meeting.
"!I make the same speech each time.
You have heard 1t often enough to
know it by rote, SO just, put in your
time in the future looking after the
team he admonished his youthful
driver.
'Despite the senator's objection, the
boy was again in the front seat the
next day and the following day. This
enraged Vest, and he thundered:
"'Why do you persist in always oc~
cupying that front seat? Didn't I tell

day? It's as old and stale to you as it
is to me. Why insist on hearing it

aiaasr Than the Sun.

A minute parallaA OF about one-six-
tieth of a second Of arc found for
Arcturus by DR.. Elkin gave a most
astounding result. This small paral-
lax implies a distance from the earth
equal to about 100000 times the
suns distance. This vast distance
would produce q diminution Of light Of
about thirty-five and one-fourth mag
nitudes, so that the sun placed at the
distance of Arcturus would be reduced
to a star Of only nine and three-fourths
magnitude. 1t would not be visible
with an opera glass. Arcturus is
therefore In round numbers nine and
one-half magnitudes, aor over 5000
times brighter than the sun would be
at the same distance. Assuming the
same density. and brightness Of sur
face as the sun, the diameter of. Arc
turus would therefore be about sew
enty-nine times the suns diameter, or
over 69,000,O00 miles, and it's mass
about $4,000 times the mass of the
sun-6gures well calculated to ''stag-
ger the imagination"

Why Sailors Like "Seraps."

Why Sailors Like "seraps."
It has long been observed that the
sailor, whethey in commercial or gov
eminent service, takes a peculiar de-
light in mixing mp" with the blue
coat. but this inclination has been at
tributed more to a natural exuberance
which comes with a land leave, &C.
celebrated somewhat by artificial means.
than to animus inherent with deep sea
life. But why this. feeling? Perhaps
1t is that the strict rules, of marine
service, the long periods of close con-
finement to which the seaman Is sub
jected. make him a hater Of any one
who wears the emblem Of authority
when he is temporarily enjoying free
dom on shore leave away from the re-
straints aboard ship. The sailor wants
liberty in its full sense, and, realizing
that the bluecoat IL the chief obstacle
to biz obtaining Il, be develops . firm
ednvtction that the policeman ought to
be trounced on general principles. In
dime It becomes his chief peaceful am
bition.-Brooklyn Standard Union.

Teaching Cubs to Kill.

Have you ever seen a cat catch a
mouse and hand it over to her kittens
to teach them how to kill? Well, q
tiger is merely a big cat and she
teaches her cubs almost in the same
way, only not with mice. An East In
dian officer witnessed scene of this
kind. An old bull bison had been the
victim, and the tigress had disabled
him BY breaking one Of his forelegs
Just below the knee. She never
touched the throat, the usual place Of
,seizing. but allowed the cubs to worry
the disabled animal, The eyewitness
relates that the cubs acted exactly like
kittens. advanced and retreated and
worried the victim, all the time new
ing and fnarling, while the tigress sal

casionally giving the bison blow with

The Appreciation Of Music.

The Appreciation OF Music.
If we would appreciate music Alright,
we must remember that its beauty de-
ponds not upon the composer alone,
but upon ourselves also. Deep calls
unto deep, and the harmony Of sound,
though appealing primarily to the out
ward ear, must be answered by har-
mony from within ourselves. The
more culture we bring to the hearing
of music, the wider our sympathy, the
more exquisite will be the echoes
which it awakens in the soul. II we
would understand the composers mes
sage we must cooperate with him.
We must reach out to him with ali
our faculties. If we do that, the reve-
lation Of music will ceaselessly renew
its beauty. ever turning unimagined
aspects to gladden. us.-Redfern Mason

Poetic Justice.


"A. certain couple in Z New England
village, each the parent Of six children,
had meted out to them kind Of poetic
justice in which they failed to see the
poetry.
The woman, q widow, pleading that
she had no home and was therefore
unable to care for her children, induc-
ed the local authorities to admit them
to an orphan asylum. The man, q
widower, pleading he had no house
keeper and therefore no one to care
for his children, induced the authori-
ties to admit his six also. Thereupon,
being freed from all membranes,
these two married.
All went well for a few months.
when the authorities, learning Of the
situation, promptly dispatched the
twelve children back to their parents,
and, the woman no longer able to rep
resent herself as homeless or the man
an without housekeeper, they were
forced to receive them.

OF the ants in Venezuela Professor
