OUR USELESS BUFFALOES.
They Have Passed Away Because They
Were Economically Unfit.

As a typical species Of American
fauna the buffalo had his place in our
history. but take him by and large he
was a rather useless beast, with no
adaptability for civilization. He served
his purpose on the plains when men
led a nomadic life there and existed on
his rifle But as soon as the range
land, over which the buffalo ''roamed
in countless thousands" became fit for
settlement the buffalo was decidedly
de trop.
Very little of him was fit to eat. He
was worth a bullet when there was no
other meat to be had, but a people ac-
customed to modern steaks and roasts
would find him not Overappetizing
once the novelty wore off. In word.
the buffalo was economically unfit, and
he went the way of the unfit.
Had he been conserved he might now
be affording opportunity for big game
hunters to enjoy themselves in mOder-
alton. They are really the only per
sons who have suffered by his disap-
pearance. To preserve the buffalo as
a specimen in our ZOOS is proper. He
is a curiosity and has a historical
value. But entirely too many tears
have been shed over his destruction.

Appropriate Excuse.

Before the establishment Of right
eous courts and trials by jury where
Justice could be obtained" explained
the teacher, persons suspected Of GER
tain crimes were tried by what was
known as the 'ordeal. One Of these
was the ordeal of fire. Hot plow-
shares were laid at short intervals
along the victims path, and the sus-
pected person was blindfolded and
compelled to walk over them. If he
succeeded in doing it without stepping
on the hot irons he was deemed inno-
cent. But If he received burns he was
adjudged guilty. Who would submit
to such an ordeal now? Johnny, would
you?"

"And why not?"

Basketball was the invention Of one
man and was completed at a single
sitting. In 1891, in the course Of a lee
ture at the Young Mems Christian as
sociation in Plainfeld, Mass. the lee
turer spoke of the mental processes OF
invention and used game, with its
limitations and necessities, as an Illus
tration. James Naismith, who was a
member of the class, worked out bas-
ketball that same night as an ideal
game to meet the case. It was pre-
sented the next day in the lecture room
and put in practice with the aid Of
the members OF the gymnasium From
there it spread to other branches of the
Young Mems Christian association and
subsequently to athletic clubs and the
general public.-New York Press.

A QUEER LAKE.
With Neither inlet Nor Outlet It Has a
Mysterious Tide.

mysterious lQGs
There is a curious Swiss lake, Lake
Marjelan, witch at regular intervals
completely disappears and does not be-
GIN to refill until the following winter
or spring. On these occasions it emp
ties itself so rapidly that the Rhone
rises several meters in a few hours
and overhows its banks.
But 1t is not necessary to go TO
Switzerland in order to find a freak
ish lake. There is a pond in the center
VI Long Island, at the present end Of
the Motor parkway, called Lake Rom
konkoma. 1t has neither inlet nor out
let and lies at the foot of the hills that
form the backbone of Long Island.
Round its shores are many pretty sum-
mer homes. The trees about it are
much larger and more beautiful than
elsewhere on Long Island. The waters
Of the lake are very clear and cold. In
some places It seems bottomless.
The strange thing about Lake Ron
konkoma is that it has a tide; not a
tide like the ocean that rises and falls
every twelve hours, but one that takes
seven years to rise and seven more to
fall The difference between high wa
ter and low water mark is between
thirty and forty feet. Many scientific
men have studied the curious phe-
nomenOn, but no one has found out
what causes this mysterious tide. Nei-
ther long continued rains nor severe
droughts affect the quantity Of water
in the lake.
The Indians used to hold the lake in
great awe, and few dared to cross II
in canoe There is a legend of one
brave who, while fishing, was drown
ed in the lake. His body was found
six months afterward nearly ten miles
away in Long Island sOund.-Youth's

Office"
you do?" said President Tyler.
What office on earth do you think you
are fit for?'
"Why, one O. these 'sinecurees' I hear
so much about-no work and good
pay" Dade promptly replied.
"Wen Jack" said Tyler deprecating-
". you know that l am president
now and must have some kind Of war
rant for making an appointment. Can
you get anybody to indorse you? Could
you bring me a letter of recommenda-
tion?"
"Oh. yes" said Dade. I'm fixed for
that" and he produced letter Of four
pages written by Tyler himself to
President Harrison, whom he had just
succeeded, urging the claims Of his
dear friend and classmate, Colonel
John W. Dade, for a good, fat office,
cast your eye over that~ he exclaim-
ed in triumph.
Tyler read the letter attentively to
the end. folded it carefully and said
"Jack. your backing is irresistible.
Come up here tomorrow, and I'll have
a place for you"

was appointed keeper Of the Federal

BABY MIDSHIPMEN.
in the Old Days When Children Wers
Sent to War.

Sent to War,
Among other improvements in the
art OF war as attained 10y the world in
these later days is the abolition Of the
practice of sending children to sea, as
was the case when the midshipmen Of
the Old "oak walls Of England often
were boys of less than fourteen years.
The Marquis of Duferin and Ava in
telling about the siege of Bomarsund,
in the Crimean war, which he witness
ed from the frigate Penelope, related
this story of one of these little fellows.
What pleased me most during the
whole business" he says, was the
gallant behavior of a little midship-
man, mere child, thirteen or fourteen
years of age. About the time when the
fire became pretty hot happened to
come across him, and, as he seemed to
be as much out of job as myself, ]
touched my cap and took the liberty Of
observing that it was a fine day, to
which he politely replied that it was.
Encouraged by his urbanity, ven
tured TO ask him how long he had been
at sea, to which he answered, i have
only left my mamma six weeks, but l
amt going to cry on her majesty's
quarterback a remark which / think
as worth recording as many one made

CHRISTMAS PLAY.

The pupils of the Montgomery
County High school gave the
pretty comedy, "The Birds
Christmas Carol" at the chapel
Tuesday evening, Dec. 23rd,
which was attended by a very
large crowd. The entertain
was enjoyed and the pro-
ceeds will go toward paying for
the piano recently purchased.
The play was under the direc-
ton of Miss Nell Whaley. Each
participant acted under theiF
part creditably. About $27 was
realized. The musical feature
was excellent.
