The educational exhibit at the fair
this year was very good in every re-
spect. The work in most lines was of
a better grade than last year and not
so much of it. There were some ex-
ceptionally fine pieces of work shown,
and those who saw the work surely
got many fine ideas to take back home
with them. Teachers and pupils will
no doubt produce many of them in
their work this coming year. Below
we comment on some of the finest

They were at the tent. Yellow
streaks Of light from It's canvas aper-
lures were glinting out at them. The
girl came to a standstlll, her hand still
on her companions arm.

ed sharply.
"Gerla. ! suppose should have said
Miss Tremaine," and then, as she did
not at once reply, he wheeled swiftly
and confronted her.
She had dashed back the peaked
hood Of her skating coat LIE saw a
little, dark mignonne face looking up
at him in the wavering amber light
a face that looked uncertain as to
whether 1t ought to break into smiles
or qniver into tears-the face Of Gerla' g
twin.
"Geraldine.' he exclaimed as he fell
back In astOnishment.
1t was her turn to be amazed. "Why,
did you think 1t was Gerla p she cried.
"Sure," he added, with enthusiastic
relief. And then when her merry peal
Of laughter had died away he querled,
But how do you happen to be wear
Ing Gerla's costumeW
She laughed again-a relieved sort of
merriment that made Anglin think
suddenly Of his roommate.
"Oh, that's what-what fooled you,
was It? Why, we changed them just
for fun. But Is Tom"-she flushed
furiously at her slip of names-T

What" exclaimed Anglin amblgu
ously. "Geraldine, do you think"-
"Oh, as to Gerla," she broke in, "she
is coming back Of you. Ask her your.
self" And she skated swiftly away.
The next instant Anglin was facing
a girl In suit of wine colored velvet.
The peaked cap was drawn high over
tousled golden curls and eyes of deep
est blue.

"I've proposed to one girl tonight" /"
he confessed as he whisked away to
the waltz the band was playing, "and

Settled the Duel.

Lord March, afterward the Marquis
Of Quceusberry, was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming ap-
prohension and usually attended an
affair with an air Of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeaslng and
embarrassing TO his adversary. But
he was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well ms for the goose 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March ap-
pcared on the ground accompanied by
second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with similar retinue, but added to
by a person who staggered under the
weight of polished oak coffin, which
he deposited on the ground, end up,
with its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in
Scription plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched up.

pioeons' Air Sacks,

The air sacks Of the pigeon, says
Bruno Muller. constitute a system OF
interspaces the value of which lies in
their emptiness-that Is, absence OF
weight and resistance. Flying is pos
sible only to a body of high mechan-
ical efficiency. and we attain this with
machines divested of all superfiuous
material Just so the original reptiles
which by evolution became birds, were
divested of Supertluous material and
the body spaces thus obtained were
filed with air sacks. The body wall
adapting itself TO the mechanical re-
quirements, became a hollow cylinder
serving as a support for the organs OF
movement, the mobility of whose parts
was assured by the surrounding ali
sacks. The air cavities in the bones OF
birds are similarly explained,

capital. The last of the Lords Holland
shot himself during fit of despond-
ency. Everything pointed to clear
case Of self murder. yet the Holland
family coald never be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
Accordingly every night for years 1t
was the custom for one of the family
to go to the rear of the house punctu-
ally at II o'clock and fire gun for the
purpose, it is said, Of soaring the con-
science" of the murderer. This curl
Gus practice is a relic Of medieval
days in continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only in
stance where 1t has been noticed since
the days of the crusades.

That great statesman William Pitt,
upon whose word so many tremendous
issues hung. was in the habit Of retir-
Ing to his country house for seasons Of
relaxation. There he dropped his char
acter of august prime minister and be-
came for the time a romping school
boy. One day he had been skylarking
with his young friends. He rushed
into every fray with the ardOr of the
youngest present When the fun was

room and informed the prime minister,
who was coatless and embellished with
burnt cork, that Lords Hawkesbury
and Castlereagh had arrived from
LOrdOn on important business. ASK
them TO wait" remarked Pitt and pro-
ceeded with the game. When that
was finished Pitt said that he must
attend to two noble lords and retired
to his dressing room 10 repair dam
ages Presently he returned, and a
remarkable transformation took place.
Standing in the middle Of the room,
the prime minister drew himself up to
full height of unapprOaCh dignity.
To the aStOnishment of the young peo-
pie present the two lords came into
the room almost on their hands and
knees and with abject obsequiousness
explained the object Of their visit. Mr..
Pitt listened with an air of distant
hauteur and with a sentence or two
dismissed his noble guests.-West-

The young of some wasps can live
only on live spiders, and the mother
wasp therefore renders the spider
powerless by her sting, after which it
can live a month, and then deposits it
in the cocoon where she has laid her
egg. On Matching out the wasp grubs
feed on the bodies of the living spi-
ders. Another wasp deposits her egg
in the body of the spider, which is
then buried alive and is fed upon by
the wasp grub. London Standard.
