 ue holiday one morning when starred out to wrestle once again wsts the trials incident to getting an eau cation. As he entered the schoolroom he matched a plot to get the coveted holiday. He went up to the teachers desk and told his story. My mother wants to know if you won't excuse me for today?" he began. "She wants me to do some work at home and thought if I'd study at home this even Ing and make up what I'd missed mebby you'd let me off."
 Something about the lads manner kept the words from carrying convic' ton. The teacher bluffed back as fol lows: Tommy" said she. you won't need to go home at all Since you started to school your mother called me on the phone to tell me that she had changed her mind and for you to stay here."
 The lad looked at her. startled. "Aw, we'll" he said, "as long as both of us are lyin' about 1t let's Just call 1t quits. I'll stay here."-Cieveland Plain Dealer,

A Wealthy Soldiers Idea.

Australians still tell stories of ths colonial volunteers, although the wal Is a far memory. One, a member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard wagon load of goods. He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder Ing many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel >ame around on his tour of inspection.
 "Colonel," be asked, "how much Is this wagon worth7'
 'I don't know" was the answer. "Much or little, we can't afford to lose It."
 "Well, but, colonel" persisted tho amateur soldier, "you might give ma | rough idea of the value"
 About f200," said the colonel testily
 "Very wel," was the answer; T will come down to the camp and give you 8 check for the amount. Then I'll turn In. I wouldn't catch my death o1 sold for twice that much"
 What the colonel said Is not record sd.--Melbourne Times.

Edihla Elowers of India.

Many edible flowers, it appears. are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information, but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whosS pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes. to which they give sweet flavor. but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment kind of wine is produced, and by distilling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- tion Scienti6Que.

THE COOKS FAULT.

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be- President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans. one of which he sent to each member of his cabt- net and to some other associates.
 "All the boys." said MT. Cleveland, thanked me politely for having re- membered them. but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, l found, had his cooked on a night when he was dining out. Another, when I asked him. said he hoped 1 wouldn't mind. but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally asked him about It.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, got the swan all right, thank you, and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' said.
 "'Yes. sir. fine bird and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him. Thurber?
 He waited a minute. and then he said: Well. sir, guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a smile"

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
What 1t MeAns to Man to Be Pioness
 In Thouqht.


 In Thought.
 To be a pioneer in thought Is to stand alone with nature, not for a few minutes, but for life. The isOlateness If the few great minds of each gen. sration of men is utterly undreamed of, for wan. of understanding, by those about them. Yet think what 1t is to pass ones days in thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only in years to come; to con. template in lonely ecstasy, after still lonelier despair, the revelation that comes with months and more of pom dering. When some one asked New ton how he came to make his wonder ful discoveries he replied, Simply by always thinking about them" Consid. CT Kepler toiling year after year fruit lessly for some ratio that should link the planets motions by general law. calculating assiduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found 1t would not work until at last, after almost inconceivable toll, he hit upon the one that would.
 AS if this loneliness by nature were not enough, it must needs be accen- tuated by man, for he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab. surd. Think you the denunciations of compensated by the plaudits after he Is dead? The loneliness of greatness Is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous renown.-Percival Lowell in Atlantic.

Secret Society Among sese islanders
 The Sese islanders have attained a peculiar notor1ety in Uganda because of a secret society called the Bachichj. which is not a burial society, although its members take deep and intelli. gent interest in all deaths and burials In their midst. In tho more retired vil- lages, although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, 1t Is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel. atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on a rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t is left unburied by the bearers, who nev CT revisit the place again. The Bachi. chi, who are denizens of neighborins village. and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him National Magazine.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.
 Synge's Social Life in England" quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing. say there .s an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps rhe patient will say. Nay. master. 1t 's my head or legs that trouble me. ;" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word 'obstruc. tion." for patients do not understand It. which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has aot paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such teasts are usually deducted from the surgeon's fee.
 When you are treating wound ol accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded. for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but some. times higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the likl than from the principal patient.
