KNEW 1T HAD TO BE DONE
Though He Recognized Necessity
for Its Observance.

A New York engineer was survey
ing the route of a branch line for a
railway system. An old farmer with
whom he stopped for a time admitted
one day, when he saw the engineer
figuring in the field, that mathematics
always seemed wonderful thing to
him.
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon its
wonders, telling the farmer how we
could measure the distances to diff
ferent planets and even weigh the
planets; how we could foretell the
coming of a comet or an eclipse years
in advance of it's actual occurrence,
determine the velocity of the swiftest
projectiles, ascertain the heights OF
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things meant to astonish
the old man
Eyes, them things does seem kinder

tinued, with conviction, the darned

FLUENCY NOT ALWAYS THERE
Even Orators Recognized az Great
Were Sometimes at Loss for
the Right Word.

The difficulties which Demosthenes
surmounted before he became a great
orator are tolerably familiar to most
readers, but it is not so we'll known
that many Of our modern great orators
did not reel off their speeches as flu
emily as they appear in print.
Henry Clay was never at loss for a
word, or "boggled" while speaking.
With Mr.. Webster it was different, and
he often would hesitate and then rub
his nose with the bent knuckles of his
right thumb.
Mr.. Calhoun, when at a loss for a
word, would give petulant twist at
his large, turned-over shirt collar, and
then run his bony fingers through his
long, gray hair until it stood up like
the hair on an electric toy.
Mr.. Benton would sink his voice and
humble something that no one could
understand, and General Cass would
CAV! avn" in the English style, pass
ing his hand beneath the lower edge
of his capacious white waistcoat.
Mr.. Webster was almost invariably
stuck" when he attempted to use a
Latin quotation, and when Mr.. Everett
was in the senate he used invariably to
appeal to him.
Some of the present day orators have
a very poor delivery, but it does not
really matter. 1t is the sense of the
speech and not the style that makes an
impression.

Irish Xmas Their Ancestors,

There are more than two hundred
and twenty-five Hogans listed in the
Philadelphia directory and they say
that the Boston Hogan who wanted
the probate court to make him Ho-
man is the only one of the clan who
was ever ashamed of his name.
Ashamed of the name of Hogan!"
exclaims one of them Shades CT the
Princes of Crioch Clan! Why. the
Hogans are descendants of Irish kings.
Cosgrach was the second son of Lor-
can the one hundred and third king
OF Thormond Stem, and was the an
cestor of the family. Crioch Clan of
which they were chiefs, was terri
tory in the principally of Ormond.
The Hogans had a fortified residence
at Ardcromy, parish in the barony
OF Lower Ormond, and they had an
other at Ballylusky, in the same terri
tory. That was in ancient times. "
The Philadelphia Hogans never
change their names excepting when
one Of the daughters Of the clan gets
married.-Boston Post.

Dissipation.

l think sometimes that our common
definition of dissipation is far too mar
row. We confine it to crude excuses
in the use of intoxicating liquor or the
crude qualification of the passions;
but often these are only the outward
symbol of a more subtle disorder The
things of the world-a thousand clam
oring interests, desires, possessions
have got the better of us. Men be-
come drunken with the inordinate de-
sire for owning things, and dissolute
with ambition for political office. /
knew a man once, a farmer, who de-
bauched himself upon land; fed his
appetite upon the happiness Of his
home, cheated his children of educa-
ton, and himself went shabby, book
less, joyless, comfortless, that he
might buy more land. / call that
dissipation, too!-From "Hempfield,"
