Just then the deacon came with the

Everything seemed favorable. and the

The Orioin of Ounce,

A Ounce is named after buns Scotus,
the chief and leader of the schoolmen
who were in opposition to what was
called the new learning" in the six
teenth century. 1t is easy to see how
readily convertible the term would be
Any opponent of the new learning
would be apt to be referred to as
Dunsman. or. more briefly, as Duns.
to indicate that he held the views of
which buns Scotus was the most emf
nent representative. But as the time
went on and the new learning triumph
ed to call any one a Dunsman or
Ounce would be equivalent to describ-
ing him not merely as opposed to a
certain set OF doctrines. but as inca
pable of learning and enlightenment
1t is certainly hard upon Duns Scotus,
as Archbishop Trench has remarked.
that he. 1.-The subtle doctor" by pre-
eminence. the "wittiest of the school
divines," as Hooker terms him. should
have his name handed down to future
ages as synonym for invincible stu
pidity.

every one who sees it except the vic
tim Of the joke. The juggler takes
three copper coins and places them In
the palm of some one in the group of
spectators. bidding him bold them as
tightly as he can. By and by it: seems
to the holder of the coins that they are
swelling and growing hot. They seem
to be moving about. He holds his

opens it. always with a gasp of fright;
for there wriggling about are three
tiny snakes.-New York Tribune.

Washington, Feb. 3-For the first
time in the history of the government
the vice president of the United States
exercised his constitutional preroga-
tive of casting vote to break ties in
connection with three successive roll
calls in the senate. By the first OF
these votes he saved from impending
defeat the ocean mail or ship subsidy
bill and by the third forced an ad-
journment of the senate on vote hav-
ing direct bearing ON the resolution
looking to the election of senators by
direct vote of the people.
The vote on the passage of the sub
sidy bill, both in committee of the
whole and in the senate proper, stood
80 to 80, and on adjournment 81 to 81.
On all three occasions the vice presi-
dent voted in the affirmative.
Another notable occurrence in con-
nection with the vote on the subsidy
bill was the absence of the new Dem
Clarence Wayland Watson, who had
taken his seat early in the day as the
successor to Senator Elkins.
After the result became known the
opponents of the bill, including all of
the Democrats, realized Mr.. Watson's
absence had prevented the, defeat Of
the bill. He was the only Democrat
present during any OF the roll calls
whose vote was not cast against the
measure.
When, in accordance with the previ-
GUS agreement, the subsidy bill was
laid before the senate at o'clock, Sen
ator Gallinger presented substitute
for the entire measure as originally in
troduced. The first bill granted a
bounty only to American built vessels
plying from American ports to the
southern half of South America, but
the substitute extended it to the Phil
ippines, Japan, China and Australia.
