relate the following about Butcher:
Another great soldier, on the other

ordinately fond Of gambling. Much to
his disgust, this passion was inherited
by his son. who had often to be re-
buked by his father for his visits to
the gaming table and was given many

and inexperience and the consequent
certainty of loss by coming in contact

"And l said the TRUTH" was the re-

EXPLODING A THEORY.
The Practical Method Adopted by Q
French Scientist.

The Practical Method Adopted by .
French Scientist.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the French Academy Of Sci
ences offered to give a prize to the
first person who would solve the fol-
lowing problem: Ii you take vase
full Of water and put a stone or any
over. II. however. you put into it a
fish. the volume Of which is equal to
that of the stone. it will not flow over.
Explain this phenomenon.
Learned essays on the subject pour
ed in from all quarters, but the prob
lem was not satisfactorily solved in
any Of them, and consequently the
prize was not awarded.
In the following year the same ques-
ton was again propounded. and for
five years answers continued to pour
in to the academy. Then it suddenly
occurred to one of the academicianS
that. after all. the problem might be
incapable of solution, and he deter
mined to make a test for himself.
Filling vase with water, he put
q stone into it and saw that the water
flowed over. Then he took out the
stone. filed the vase again with Wa
ter and put into it fish. the volume
of which was the same rs mat of the
stone. and saw. to his surprise. that
the water again flowed over.
He told the academy OF his discov-
cry, and the result was that the offer
Of q prize was at once withdrawn.

Vanity Tiekled.

During the early excuses Of the
French revolution a rabble of men and
women were rioting in the streets of
Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered
a young artillery officer to open fire
upon them with two cannon. The Of
fcer begged the general to let him try
first to persuade them to withdraw.
1T is useless to appeal to their rea-
son." said the general.
Certainly" answered the officer,
''and it is not to their reason. but to
their vanity, I would appeal"
The officer rode up to the front of
the mob. dOffed his cooked hat, pointed
to the guns and said:
"Gentlemen will have the kindness
to retire, for l am ordered to shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once, for
none could brook the idea Of being
classed with the scum Of the city.

And the Lost and Found Department
and Scotland Yard.
THAT lost and found property de-
partment at Scotland Yard is one of
the best things they have in London"
said a woman who has spent much
time in England. Last summer ! had
experience with it
Il fell into sort of habit of losing
things. First it was valuable UNI
brella. l did not miss it until ! got to
my hotel afteran after theater supper.
The next morning I made my husband
take me to the theater and the two
restaurants where we had been the
night before. but without result.
Then an American friend suggested
Scotland Yard. l went there. and there
II was. 1t had been turned in by q
cab driver
Twice afterward l lost that UNI
brella and got it back in the same
fashion. each time leaving as a reward
for the cab driver Il per cent Of the
value of the umbrella. as required.
Then one night I lost fine pair of
opera glasses. and I got them back.
1T is all excellent system the police
over there have of encouraging hon.
esty. A cab driver who finds anything
In his vehicle is required to turn it in.
aud he knows that if the owner claims
It he will be rewarded"
