Unexpected.

One of the dignitaries of the Church
of Scotland was a minister of a re-
mote parish before he leaped into fame,
but was not considered a particularly
eloquent preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations were made in
the church. which had the effect of
sweeping away considerable seating
accommodation. One day after the
alterations had been effected he visit
ed the church to see how it looked.
What do you think of the improve
ments. John?" he asked the beadle.
Improvement exclaimed John In
disdain. They're no improvements at
a. Whaur are 'se goin' to put the
folk?"
"Oh," said the minister. I'VE have
abundance Of room. John, considering
the size of the congregation"

torted the beadle. But what will we

The vsass.bl. Caterpillar.

New Zealand's vegetable caterpillar
Is not vegetable at all. 1t Is a grub
about the length Of the finger which
has It's habitat In friable mold at the
roots Of the rata vine. In many In.
stances this grub. known to New Zea-
lander colonials by It's Maori name.
aweto. Is infected by the spores Of q
fungus, Cordyceps (sphoeria) robertsiL
While the mycelium OF this fungus is
invading the tissues OF the aweto It
sends up a spore bearing stalk to the
height Of from four to eight inches
just between the head and the first
ring of the body of the grub. BY the
time the spores are ready to discharge
the animal dies. and the whole body is
found filed with vegetal material.
The same spot of ground is the theater
Of second drama of vegetable feroc-
ity. While the fungus Is destroying
the insect at its roots the rata vine
grows upward by twining about some
tree Of less rapid growth and In the
end stranges its support and main
tains thereafter a tree existence of its
own.

NIT me to- say that | am now and
always have been a staunch supporter
of the college. For eighteen years
have been training boys for higher
institutions of learning, and l believe
that larger per cent Of my boys
have gone to the Agricultural and
Mechanical College than to any other
institution OF higher learning In this
State. On several occasions | have
gone with my pupils to the A. & M
College to assist them In selecting
their courses of study and making ar
rangements preparatory to entrance.
In this way became familiar with the
plan and the purposes OF the institu.
ton. In my opinion there is not a
more useful institution OF learning in
our State than the Agricultural and
Mechanical College OF Texas.

see the A. e. NJ. College separated
from the State University and given
its proportion of the University lands,
so that the A. & NJ. board could go

Crooked Genius.

Once upon a time the city of Lon
don had to pay county rate, but this
was legally abolished many years ago.
A certain attorney, who had at one
time been connected with local taxa
ton. hit upon the brilliant idea Of re-
levylng this obsolete rate and turning
the proceeds to his own use. He got
the proper demand notes printed. dis
tributed them in the usual fashion and
the recipients paid up like lambs. The
swindler had a regular office, a collec-
tor and all the usual Accomplishments.
1t is said that he made over $4,000
year, and no one ever thought OF
questioning the legality of the rate.
II the crooked genius had been salts
fed with a couple Of years profit and
then quietly discontinued the collec-
ton of the rate the chances are that
no one would ever have been any the
wiser. But he was greedy and kept
on year after year. until by chance q
demand note fell into the hands Of some
one who knew.-Pearson's Weekly.

from which be never fully recovered.
A dog upset lighted candle. and pre-

suits Of many years experiments in
optics were destroyed In consequence
OF this Newton's mind lost its balance.
Brewster denies this. but about its
truthfulness there is not much room
for doubt. 1t is certain that for con-
siderable time his letters were quite
incoherent. and to be accounted for
upon no other hypothesis than, that of
a disordered mentality. Newton. slow

One Man Applauded,

Camille Saint-Saens was present
when verdi's Hymn of All Nations"
was rendered for the first time at the
opening ceremonies of the worlds fair
in London, and he gave this reason for
the failure" of the composition: "The
hymn was arranged to introduce the
national anthem of the various coun-
tries, and, not knowing that the Mar
seillaise' was at that time in bad re-
pute. 1t was used as representative OF
France. The Emperor Napoleon when
he heard the strains turned pale. and
the knowing ones in the audience were
so greatly embarrassed that no one in
the great throng dared applaud. Yes.
one man did applaud. and that was |.
Napoleon arose in his box and directed
his opera glass toward me. and |
looked at him through my glass After
a few moments the emperor hurriedly
departed"

right step being taken to correct
them? There is a noticeable slack
ness in the conduct Of the courts
which should be remedied before more
circuits are added. Too often tho
time of the circuit courts are taken
up with minor cases which should be
handled in the lower courts and even
iii the more important cases much time
is wasted by useless arguments of
counsel and repetition Of questions in
cross examination. 1t has been esti-
mated that it costs fifty cents min
ute to run the circuit court in some
counties and when such expensive ma
chinery is in action results should be
produced without loss Of time. If the
present methods In the conduct of the
courts are to continue it is quite pos
sible that we will soon need several
additional circuits to the 18th. 1t does
seem that some steps should be talk
en to make court procedure more eX-
peditous before we add more cir
cults or very soon we will be unbear-
ably burdened with court expenses.
