The Tramp's Reason.

The late Joseph Dorsey Of San Jose.
the famous detective whose best feat
was the capture of Canon Bernard
after chase from Alaska to Cape
Horn. used to impute his success to
his knowledge of men.
"a detective" he would say, should
know the habits Of every class. Then
no disguise can deceive him. All men.
even the most unmethodical. have
their habits. Even the tramp has his.
"'You great big lazy loafer,' | said
to tramp one December day. you
ought to be in jail!
"'Yes. Algie,' the tramp replied as
he pretended to fix a monocle in his
eye Yes; know it's the correct
thing for our set at this season. Algie;
but. deuce take it. it's such mild
winter, don't you know "-Kansas

Tho Pilot Ei.h.

A little fish about which many inter
esting fancies cluster is the pilot fish
Aelian tells us that pilot fishes were
supposed to be kindly disposed toward
sailors and therefore liked to approach
ships. which they continued with and
guided until they reached land. They
were deemed sacred to Neptune. the
god of the ocean. who protected them
from designed injury; consequently a
man who had ventured to eat one soon
afterward lost his son by drowning.
Apollo was said to have changed a
fisherman named Pompilus. who had
crossed him in his loves. into a pilot
fish and condemned him for all eterni-
ty to the task of gratuitous pilotage.
He Is also said to be pilot of sharks
and Is said to warn the latter away
from baited hooks and other dangers
and lead them to food. There really
does exist q strange bond Of friendship
between the huge shark and this little
member Of the mackerel family. which
are often to be seen travelling together.
although the pilot fish's supposed care
to warn Its companion of impending
danger and to provide food for 1t Is a
fallacy pure and simple.

An EnaIi.h Election Trick.

Corruption at elections in England
took many curious forms in olden days
but there have been few more ingen-
ious plans for securing the election Of
the desired candidate than that prac
ticed at Seaford In 1890. 1t was doubt
full which way the polling would go
unless receiving officer could be
found willing to pass some twenty-six
persons who still wanted seventeen
days to complete the six mouths resi-
dence required by law. Accordingly
1t was arranged that the candidate
should insist on all the six oaths de-
manded by statute being administered
to each voter individually. and this.
together with the time spent in deal
ing with every frivolous objection rails
ed by counsel. made 1t impossible to
poll more than four votes a day. so
that the twenty-six where duly quail
fed by the time their turn came to
vote.

ct. They can tell you that a typical
comet is composed of a head with q
brighter nucleus within the head, and
tail streaming out in the direction
opposite the sun. They can tell you
(what your own eyes can see) that
comets are sometimes so bright that
they can be seen in broad daylight, and
are at the same time so transparent,
except in the nuclei, that stars are Wis.,
ible through them without losing any
of their light, apparently. What they
cannot tell you Is the substance Of
which the comet is made. Perhaps be-
fore Halley's comet shall come back
again some one will have discovered
just what its head, its nucleus and its
tail are composed Of. And in that day
In. 1885 men and women will look back
with condescending pity on the ignor-
ance Of us Of today. And in that day
interested mothers will lure from their
beds sleepy children, just as mothers Of
this year will do, just as our mothers
did back in those days when even a
comets tail brushing across our faces
would have been impotent to awake us
from the deep, deep slumber Of child
hood. How sleepy we were, how DULY
we looked at the light in the heavens,
in which our parents were 50 inter-
ested. We didn't understand why they
were so interested, but then there were
many things about grownups which we
didn't understand and didn't care to.
particularly. What We did care about
was getting back into the warm bed.
For all we cared the comet (whatever
it was; nobody could tell what :; was,
anyway might go on travel 8 at the
rate of twenty miles a second. For
ourselves, we didn't believe that story
not that it was improbable, because
we believed in fairies and gnomes and
giants and many other things just as
strange. But the fairies and the
gnomes ami tine giants were interest
ing, and lin the middle Of the night at
least) the comet was not. The next
day we tried to take some interest In
it, and stoutly denied that we mad been
too sleepy to see it's beauties the night
before. But all the same we thought
a comet rather a stupid thing to be
dragged out Of bed for That was
where a comet differed from a fairy, or
a gnome or a giant. Far from being
dragged from bed to make their ac-
quaintance, we were dragged off to bed
invariably as the story became the
most exciting. Poor sleepy children OF
the days when we were little; poor
sleepy children Of this day and Of all
the others when these comets trail their
wav across the heavens. AS Halley's
comet Is visible for so long a time there
is no real reason why anyone's sleep
should be disturbed for it. AS comets
go, it Is as interesting as any which
comes to visit earth. So here's hearty
welcome to it, as it comes to make its
regular visit to us.
