UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW.
Learn to Listen, Good Advice for One
Starting Out i'm the World.

New York Sun.
''That little piece of advice that I
would give you this morning, Steph-
en-" said Uncle Haram to his Eopeful
young nephew, lis this: LC@ ) lis
ten.
we will think that our own ex-
periences are the most interesting
that ever were, that the things that
have befallen us are the most wonder
full; but don't monopolize the con-
versation, Stephen.
CAS- a rule what happened to you
doesn't interest the other man at all;
what happened to him is what inter
ests him most and if you are wise you
will let him tell you about it and be-
ware of trying to match his experience
with something greater it may have
been will only make him think less of
you. for naturally it belittles him, and
that in something that you want al
ways to avoid.
$50 let the other man do the talking,
Stephens, while you listen. Your in
what he says will commend you to
him as a person of intelligence and
appreciation. AS he talks on he will
have higher and higher opinion of
himself, and a surely. as you listen, a.
better and better opinion of you.
stephen, learn to listen. At your
age you should not be talkative, any
way reticence is a fine traia in any
man and especially to be commended
in the young, and if to taht you can
add the grace indeed the rare grace,
of being able to listen with earnest at
tention you will get on. Many a man
has ~prospered in this world by letting
some other man do the talking.
''That will be all, Stephen, this
morning"

Ocean DereIicts,

There is an old dread of encounter
ing a derelict that is just below the
surface of the water. There is no
such danger. A derelict that will sink
below surface will sink to the bot
tom. Take a tub OF water and try to
find any object that will unattached
occupy a position that is other than at
the surface or at the bottom. There
is long task ahead of you. There is
the false theory that the water grows
denser as one goes deeper and that a
sinking object will find place where
1t will remain suspended. This theory
is not correct, and a boat that will
sink beneath the surface will sink to
the bottom, even If that bottom should
be twenty miles down. The derelict
that is bumped into has a piece of IT.

are usually responsible for badness
1t penetrates to the roots of the hair,

We want you to get a bottle of

directed. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an increased growth of hair, and in
every way give entire satisfaction,

Thackeray's Disfigured Nose.

The usual account of how Thack.
cray was disfgured says that Venables
broke the novelist's nose in a fail
fight. John Ward in Notes and Que
ries supplies another version. About
a year after Thackeray's death Mr.
Ward was travelling on one of the
main railways and had as companions
two old ladies who knew Thackeray
well. One of them said the novelist
had told them this story;
Being one of the youngest pupils
tat Charterhousel. he was chosen by
one of the older lads. a rather proud
aristocrat in his way. to act as his
fag. Thackeray bore it as well as he
could. but demurred to some more ar
bitrary command than usual and fatty
refused to obey. whereupon the young
'aristocrat caught Thackeray up. held
his head under his arm and with the
heel of his boot used as hammer
beat the beautiful aquiine nose quite
fiat with his face-in fact, breaking
and injuring its structure completely
the excuse being You'll clean my
boots next time. sir
Before his injury Thackeray was,
the same authority says, remarkably
handsome Westminster Gazette.

Natures Scene Shifting.

Although in the geological past vast
changes of level occurred on the bor-
ders and even in the center of conti-
nents, it is a debated question whether
at present similar elevations and sub
sidences can be detected. Recently the
frequently repeated statement that the
coasts of Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey are perceptibly sinking has been
disputed, the apparent subsistence be-
ing ascTibed to simple changes of
shore line. But some curious records
kept in Europe seem to indicate that
actual fluctuations of the level Of the
land may occasionally be observed. In
the valley of the Main church tower
hidden behind a mountain screen has
since 1861 gradually risen into plain
view from the chateau of Strossen-
dorf, and still farther in the same di-
rection another church tower, which
began to be visible from Strossendorf
eighty years ago, is now clearly seen
above the horizon and is said to rise
higher as time goes on. Similar rec
ords exist in Bohemia, in Switzerland
in Spain and in the French Jura.

Scotch Students.

Many a man who never had any
schooling" gets an education, and
often surprisingly good one.
A traveller in Scotland once met a
farmer whose ground rent was about
$50 year and who wrote poetry in
Gaelic that was of high order.
This same traveller met a youth in
Scotland who rode from home on
horseback TO the seaport and then
across Scotland to Aberdeen, where he
sold his horse to enter the university.
1t is related of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating line
of Tennyson, whereupon some one ask
ed him what poet he liked best.

Wrecked by a Knife Blade.

A ship was once wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care
full one. Nor had the weather been of
so severe a kind as to explain the
wide distance which the vessel had
swerved from her proper course. The
ship went down, but so much interest
attached to the disaster that diving
bell was sunk. Among other portions
of the vessel that were examined was
the compass that was swung on the
deck, and inside the compass box was
detected bit of steel, which appeared
to be the small point Of a pocket
knife blade. 1t was learned that the
day before the wreck a sailor who
had been set cleaning the compass
had used his pocket knife in the proc
ess and had unceremoniously broken
OF the point and left 1t remaining in
the box. That bit of knife blade ex-
erted its influence on the compass and
to a degree that detected the needle
from its proper bent and vitiated it as
an index Of the ships direction. That
bit OF knife blade wrecked the vessel.

When Nature Was Timekeeper.


In the British museum is large
stone composed of carbonate of lime.
which would serve perfectly as day
laborer's calendar inasmuch as it would
indicate to him every Sunday and holi-
day of the year, though not the day of
the month. Moreover, the stone is an
actual time record of the work done
for a long period in an English coal
mine.
The Sunday stone" as it is called,
was removed from a colliery drain.
When the miners were at work the
water running through the drain left
deposit colored black by the coal
dust, but when no work was being
done the water ran down clear and left
white deposit. These deposits in the
course of time built up the stone.
Each day of work left a black streak,

A Few Thoughts ON Money.

The corpuscles of national circula-

1t is often called a curse. Some

still others swear at it.
1t often causes a species of mental
arrangement or delirium called money

have it not are foolish. Possession Of

Phonograph Calls Cows.

The phonograph, through the inge-
nuity of a couple of boys in Wisconsin,
has become thing of usefulness as
well as amusement. After the novelty
had worn off the boys had cast aside
the canned" songs and funny talks
and gone back to checkers. But they
found that doing the chores seriously
interfered with the game. One of them
remembered that they could talk into
the records and have the talk come out
just like it went in. So between moves
each called into the machine, "Come,
boss; come, boss" Then they put the
phonograph out facing the pasture and
tnrned II loose. The COWS came home.

Eskimo Trial Marriaue,

The trial marriage is an ineradi-

young man and woman are not suited
with each other they try again, and
sometimes several times, but when
they find mates to whom they are
adapted the arrangement is generally
permanent. If two men want to marry
the same woman they settle the ques-
ton by trial of strength, and the
better man has his way.-"The North
