Habit From the Dungeon.

Convicts who were forced to drag
about bali and chain at the galleys
could often be detected when released
by their habit OF trailing one foot
after the other. John Boyle O'Reilly.
condemned to convict life in Australia
for his Fenian sympathies. had also in
after years a habit which told like
sad story. One who knows him said:
When walking abstractedly and me-
chemically he always went a short dis
lance and then retraced his steps. no
matter how wide stretch he had be-
fore him. 1t was always three PAGES
forward. turn and three PAGES back.
exactly like the restless turning OF a
lion in a cage. One day l asked him.
Boyle. what was the length of your
cell when you were in prison-how
many paces?"
Three" he said. "Why do you ask :"
because when you are absentmind-
ed you always walk three PAGES for
ward and then retrace your steps"

The Rival Explorers.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Though 1t is the privilege of Com
mander Peary to evince utter disbe-
lief in the claim of his rival to hav-
ing anticipated him in the discovery
of the pole, it is by no means obvious
that the phraseology he has employed
Is wise and felicitous. Indeed his
manner has imposed a needless tax
on the patience and loyalty of his
friends, and there are signs that it
has distinctly helped instead of hurt
ing DR.. Cook. Having made SO direct
an attack on DIR. Cook, 1t is incum-
bent on Commander Peary to put his
evidence in condition for use at the
earliest opportunity. Technically,
perhaps, disproof should be withheld
until proof has been offered to sup
port the claim that the pole was dis
covered in 1908. Commander Peary
seems to have that line of procedure
in view by saying that when DR..
Cook makes full statement of his
journey over his signature to some
geographical society or other reputa-
BILE BODY he shall be in a position to
supply material to refute the story.
Commander Peary probably does not
realize however, to what extent his
rivals claims have already been con-
coded. and as soon as he learns the
real situation he may prefer to pro-
duce his material without waiting for
specifications.

A Lesson In Physiology.

The school superintendent was in
the habit of dropping in TO the differ
ent class rooms and demanding re-
citaI of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
ogy as the study for examination.
1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study OF the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars US she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions OF a similar nature asked.
