An Exsn-na. .. compliments.

A charming story is told of pasteur, the scientist. and Victor Duruy, who was minister of public instruction un- der the second empire. The author of the "Histoire des Remains" was a great friend of Pasteur. Moreover. they were near neighbors, one residing in the Rue d'Ulm and the other in the Rue de Medicls. One Thursday. the day of the sittings of the academy. the two friends met at cab stand by the Luxembourg. Are you going to the fnst1tute?" asked the minister Yes answered the savant, and they both entered the same cab. Arrived at their journeys end. Duruy rendered a five franc piece te the cabman, who, of course, had no change Then said sDuruy: Keep the coin as a souvenir of this menora ble ride You have driven the greatest savant of the cen tury." Next came Pasteur's turn. He put his hand in his pocket and with drew five franc piece, which he handed to the "cocher" with the re- mark: Take care of it. You have driven the greatest minister of the sec ond ernpire."-London Globe.

Yarmouth. Hsrrina Feast.

The bloater is not generally consid- cred to be the acme of style where a dinner is concerned. and as an article of diet it is generally believed to be almost exclusively used by the lower classes of society. yet Yarmouth. ''the home of the herring" has its annual herring dinner. when the whole menu from hors d'oeuvres to cheese consists of herrings and sprats-the latter her rings in their infantile stage-served up in various ways. It must be said that some of these ways are so in- genious and wonderful that it is very difficult to recognize the familiar sill very fish to which Yarmouth owes so much of is prosperity. yet there is no doubt that the ubiquitous herring in every dish served up at it's famous meal is present in some shape or form. Thus for once the herring is honored in accordance with its true value. for the dinner is presided over by the mayor of the borough and is attend ed by all the leading men of the town.

 A. G. C. LiddeIl Was once best man at a wedding at which one of the presents was. to say the least. uncon- ventienal. This is his story in Notes From the Life of an Ordinary Gentle man." "Considerab ble excitement was raised among the spectators when it was rumored that tall oak box placed against the wall contained a skeleton. and all sorts of rumors were rife as to the significance of such a curious wedding gift. The real ex- planation was simple. An eccentric old gentleman had once found the bride. who was fond of drawing. mak- ing a study from skull and had vowed that he would give her a whole skeleton when she was married. The result was that after protracted nego- t1ation he secured the framework of an Austrian grenadier. which. I be- lieve. 1t was found most difficult to import. This was not the sole trouble connected with the gift. as when the young couple set up house the serv- ants shied at. this strange inmate of the establishment. and he had to be presented to a hospital"

The Ancient oracIes.

Herodotus mentions between seven ty and eighty oracles of one sort and another. There is no reason for think ing that the people who patronized the OracleS had other than the iveliest faith in them The two great oracles were those at Delphi and Dodona. though there were several others that stood well with the people. The pre- dictions were. of course. nothing but predictions. since it is now generally understood that the promoters of those famous institutions were only ordinary human beings like those who patroniZed them. The deliveranceS of the oracles belong to one of two classes-flrst. those founded on secret Information and. second. those in which the oracle had absolutely no ideas on the subject and took refuge in sheer vagueneSS. It was the faith of the people rather than the infalli- bility of the oracles that kept them up so long.

Center of tha Earth

If shaft were sunk vertically to the center of the earth and an object suspended from spring balance were lowered down the shaft the weight of the object. as indicated by the dial of the balance. would at first increase as the descending object approached the deeper and denser strata. After pass ing certain depth, however, the weight would begin to diminish, and 1t would continue to diminish to the center of the earth. where its value would be zero. because the object would there be equally, attracted in every direction.

His Black Suit,

He was not a good card player. He admitted it. His game was pingpong. But that was no reason why his part ner should be so disagreeable when. ever he made mistakes.
 After particularly glaring error the pestering partner turned upon him with real anger.
 "Why didn't you follow my Ieadr' he asked
 ''If followed anybody's lead, sir," exclaimed the novice hotly. '1t cer- tafnly wouldn't be yours''
 His partner snorted and subsided. But in the next hand he threw down his cards in desperation.
 Look here.' he cried; didn't you see me call for spade or club? Have you no black suit?
 "Yes. I have" retorted the novice. with warmth. But I'm keeping it for your funeral"

The Samurai's Servant.

an ofuda which appears as the badge of family at Matsue. The story, as Hearn tells it, is that: "Once a serv- ant of the family went to Ise, in de spite of his masters orders to remain in the house. When he came back the samurai flew into a rage and kill ed him. Then the murderer felt sorry and buried the body in the garden or bamboo patch. The day after the servant came back again and apolo- gized for his absence at Ise. You can guess the rest of the legend.
 When the grave WAS opened there was no dead body there-only an ofu- da cut in two, as if by a sword slash"
