Perseverance,,

Timour, the. great Asiatic conqUeror,
commonly known by the name of Tam
erlane, had extraordinary persever-
apce. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what he had once under
taken, and he often persisted in his
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him to despair. On such
occasions he used to relate to his
friend an anecdote Of his early life.
Il once" he said, was forced to take
shelter from my enemies in a ruined
building, where 1 sat alone many
hours. Desiring to divert my mind
from my hopeless condition, / fixed
my eyes on an ant that was carrying a
grain Of corn larger than Itself up
high wall. l numbered the efforts it
made to accomplish this object. The
grain fell sixty-nine times to the
ground, but the insect persevered, and
the SEVENTEEN time it reached the top.
This sight gave me courage at the mo-
ment, and never forgot the lesson"

The grayness, the winds, seemed to
me to emphasize its truth, to drive
home it's reality. And there was some
thing noble in its candOP. Even ma

ness at times, or at least a certain CO
quetry, daintiness not wholly free
from suggestions Of artifciality. The
landscape in the midst OF which Je-

The Lord Leicester OF q century ago
had no sons by his first marriage and,
being well on In years, was anxious to
see his heir apparent, . nephew, hap
PLY welded. His wish was that
charming daughter Of his neighbor,
the Earl Of AlbemarIs, should be the
future Lady Leicester. With her and
her sisters he used to enjoy his morn
ing rides. One morning she came
alone, and during the ride he asked,

A Reporter Who Appreciated the At
tentions of His Superior.
A reporter for a Philadelphia news
paper was sent up the state to act as
staff correspondent In an important
court trial. 1t was the reporters first
big out Of town assignment, and his
managing editor kept the telegraph
wires busy with instructions and IL
Quiries. For two days and two nights
the reporter had received a dispatch
from his office half hourly, and it be-
gan to get on his nerves.
At the end Of the second day he
worked until 2 o'clock in the morning,
aIed his last page of copy, received
word that his story had been re-
ceived, and he went to bed. Just as he
was putting out the light the hotel
porter appeared with the inevitable
tray and the inevitable telegram. The
reporter opened it and read:
What time does court open in the
morningp
It was too much. He hated the sight
OF telegram. He had been fleeing the
curse Of the dispatches only to have
them pursue him to bed. He sat down
and wrote TO his Office the most cOur-
teous answer he could compose:
Court opens at o'clock In the
morning. 1t is now 3. Thank you for
waking me in time" - Philadelphia

PLANET PROBLEMS.
We Really Know Very Little Even
About the Larger Heaven.
ly Bodies.

''The amount Of ignorance not yet
removed concerning the planets is very
great" writes E. S. Grew. 1--WE do
not know. for example. whether the
planet Venus TOtates. II 1t does ii may
possibly have q life and a vegetation
Hks our own, though we suspect that
it Is clothed In eternal cloud Or
Saturn's rings we cannot say whether
they consist Of millions of tiny moons
Ike brickbats or whether they may be
even smaller still-a veil OF shining
dust. OF Jupiter we can only say that
1t is covered with c;vrds, though of
their substance we know nothing,
and, according to Professor Lowell and
Sir William Huggins, some OF the
bands we see on 1t may be riffs In the
clouds revealing the body Of the plan
ct. Little lines crisscrosS these bands.
Photographs Of Jupiter taken at Flag
stan observatory seem to indicate that
these lines, too, are the upper clouds
of Jupiter.
"But whenever we see a planet we
see it badly. Even Mars, the most
clearly revealed OF them all, Is con-
stantly Obscured by a refracting haze
so that even Of the famous canals,
though nearly 500 In number, only
few are percepdble at a time, and an
unskilled observer would probably not
make them out at all. Sandstorms,
sometimes snOwstOrms, sweep the sur
face Of the planet, and because the
winds Of Mars are very gentle and
slow moving these occurrences take a
long time to pass by."-London Family

Coral That Shocks.

On the coast Of the West Indian
islands a curious kind Of coral is
found, called "millepoca." This has
most extraordinary property which
makes the people who know it very
shy OF handling it. The moment you
pick up piece a sort Of electric thrill
runs through you and an agonizing
pain shoots through your jaws. You
feel as If every tooth and every nerve
and muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts gener-
ally for about half an hour and slowly
passes off, but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason
Of this curious shock or poisoning is a

BaIzac's Wav.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living in Paris Balzac locked
himself up In his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights, refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even in broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant. whom he rang
for when he felt the need Of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups Of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ax-
haUsted from lack Of sleep, and he re-
mained in complete ignorance Of what
was transpiring outside, the state Of
the weather and even Of the time and
day Of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity
when he had written the word END"
on the last page Of the manuscript he
began when he entered his prison.

What "GarbIsr0 Once Meant.

"Garble," ''garbIed," "garbler," are
words which nowadays convey quite a
different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. "Garble" orig
inally signified simply 'to select for
purpose" At one time there was an
officer. termed "the garbler of Spices"
whose duty it was to visit the shops
and examine the spices. ordering the
destruction Of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those Of the in
spector Of the modern health depart
ment, who forbids the sale Of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat. The word
comes from a root meaning ito sift."
The impurities sifted out have in the
course Of generations corrupted the
term till a "garbIed report" is no long
er a report wherefrom all uncertainty
has been removed, but one that Is full
of Misrepresentation and made mis-
leading with deliberate intent.

An Artists Struggles.

Professor Won Herkomer. the famous
painter. had such a struggle to gain
a living in his early days that had it
not been for his inexhaustible stock
Of patience and self confidence he
would probably have abandoned art
entirely. He sold his first picture for
2 guineas and later on earned for a
short time a couple Of pounds weekly
for a woodcut which he supplied to
a comic paper. This modest salary
coming to a stop, be was at his wits
end to know what to do. He applied
to a troupe Of minstrels for an en-
gagement as either player, but In vain,
and then took to designing carpets.
For some years he battled with pow
erty, achieving no success until he
obtained employment on a weekly t.
lustrated journal.-London Globe.

on the social Importance of the person

and something hit me a mighty swat
on the back Of my neck. whereupon
tried to clean a big hunk OF stone OF
its barnacles by means Of my nose and
front teeth. This may be pleasant to
look upon, but it is not an enjoyable
pastime.

Mississippi stsambeatina.

The steamboat age on the Mississippi
began about 1921 and fourished for
fifty years. As early as 1884 the num-
Der of steamboats, on the Mississippi
and its tributaries is estimated at $50,
and in 1912 there were $50 vessels,
with a value of S25,OO0,OOO. But the
golden era was from 1S48 till the war.
Never did the valley and steamboating
prosper more than then. Thousands OF
bales Of cotton were annually shipped
to southern markets. and the wharfs
OF st. Louis and Memphis and Vicks-

HE AMUSED THE CUBS.
Then 4hs Young Lions Took q Turn at

Then ahs Young Lions Took Turn at
Amusing Him.
A negro attached to an African hunt
ing party met with a curi Jus adven-
ture, says an English paper. Wander
ing one day from camp, he surprised
two lion cubs at play and thoughtless-
ly commenced to amuse them. He was
only too successful. The big cubs gam
boiled fearlessly about him and to his
dismay refused to desist when he
wished to leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off and in their
play scratched his legs in fearful
fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations Of delight, and
before long their unusual cries brought
a Honess leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the negro
faced the growing animal. while the
cubs continued to jump up at him,
eager for further careSses. The en-
ragged Iioness moved round uneasily
in a circle, man ard beast keeping
their eyes steadily on each other. Sew
eral times the liOness crOuched to
spring, but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length, after what seemed an age,
when the negro was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding scrub.

EuraIarJs Resnttinn Sin.

The burglars besetting sin is heed
lessness. The chances are that It was
heedlessness that first drove him out
OF honest employment and made bur-
glar OF him. The burglar ransacks a
house and carries away a spoon hold
er, card tray or some other inexpen-
sive souvenir Of the occasion, and he
overlooks the thousand dollar bill on
the dining room table and the rope OF
pearls on the towel rack. This heed
lessness seems to be common TO the
whole fraternity. We do not know
what the experience OF other cities is,
but IN Newark the burglar leaves an
astonishing amount OF portable wealth
behind him invariably. When he reads
