TOO LONG A REACH.

1t was a Welsh minister who de-
scribed the devil to a little congre-
cation in a remote Welsh valley.
Said the minister: "The devil is
bound round the middle with chains,
and round the arms with chains, and
round the legs with chains. But
John JONES'" pointing to a man in
the front row, che can reach you
and you, David Evans" pointing to
one in the middle row, che can
reach YOU" and pointing to one at
the back, "John Williams, he can
reach you" And then a man in the
gallery called out, 'Why, the thing
might as well be loose"

DICKENS, CHARACTERS HUMAN.

1t is true that Dickens can reveal
the odiousness of certain varieties Of
female nature, but he does it with
out the slightest hint of bias and is
equally forcible in so doing with his
men. His presentment of women is
everywhere governed by this wonder
full impersonality and rare balance.
They are neither angels nor toys nor
slaves. They are simply human be-
ings of the female sex as God has
made them. His love scenes are not
merely pure and tender, but they are
refreshingly sane. And his girls are
as varied as his young men. They
are self-respecting, or foolish, or sem
timental, or capable, or feather
headed, just as we find them today.
He shows them no personal favor on
his own part, and no disfayor either.

Claim Of Californian to Pc the orip-
nator Of Moving Pictures SCENE
eubstantlatcd.

Probably the man who can claim
the greatest credit for moving pic
lures is Edward Muybridge Of Oak
land, Cal, who, at the instigation Of
Governor Leland Stanford Of Cali
fornia made countless pictures Of
the governors celebrated trotter Oc-
cident, the first horse to trot a
mile in 2 80 west Of the Rocky
mountains.
Occident was the pride Of the
governors heart, and he engaged
Muybridge to photograph him in ev-
cry conceivable size and shape. In
making a series of snapshots of the
horses action, Muybridge was en-
abled to show the exact motion.
In order to satisfy the governor,
he thought of a novel scheme Of
placing a number Of cameras COW
ering at least one-tenth of a mile.
From these cameras he stretched
threads across the track at about
the height of the trotter's knees.
These threads being broken, each
camera made a separate, distinct
picture of the horse, and by putting
them together and riffiing from the
thumb, the horse could be seen in
actual motion.
In 1885 Muybridge sailed for
England, and there, in connection
with six or sHen others, evolved the
first moving picture camera. In
about 1886 some of these cameras
reached America.-Popular Mechan-

ANCIENT WHEAT.

Many years ago a Suffer county
(Cal.) farmer named Proper, by
following the Burbank method, de-
veloped a seed wheat of great value,
which was eagerly sought by the San
Joaquin grain farmers. But the
wheat grown from this seed did not
maintain its valuable properties
through successive crops. Year by
year it lost some of them, until now
the Proper wheat is no better than
improper wheat. A son of Proper
had the forethought to preserve a
quantity of wheat harvested from
the original crops. He has lot on
hand that is now 20 years old,
which he is planting. Will it ger
inmate Notwithstanding its adj
vanced age? Why not? Egyptian
grain, entombed for 1000 years in
the wrappings of mummy, yield
ed abundantly when planted where
the waters of the Nile reached it.

'Did the Gildeys have much

"No. AT least not until they

"Iow about the dogs?"
"That was easy. They had two

"Why, Gildey suddenly developed

HE SHOWED UP BLACKSTONE
Colorado Justice of the Peace Knew
His Business and Cared Not a
Rap for Presidents.

A story of the early mining days
in Colorado has to do with the self
sufficiency of Patrick Smith, a self
justice of the peace, and
the biting wit of young lawyer,
who attempted to defend a man
charged with stealing a horse.
The lawyer argued that the fact
that the man had the horse was not
proof positive that he had stolen it..
Justice Smith instantly overruled
the point.
The lawyer then read from Black
stone a case identical with the one
before the court.
"What do l care for Blackstone
or any other lawyer?" cried Justice
Smith. "I know the man stole the
horse and l have decided he's
guilty. That's enough. Pm judge
here"
"Your honor" answered the law
yer, 81 know you have decided the
case. / read the extract merely to
show you what an old fool"
'Whats that?" interrupted the
justice, jumping to his feet in a
rage.
Blackstone was," calmly finished
the lawyer, while he resumed his
seat.-Youth's Companion.
