SCOTCH CAPABLE or BULLS"
Some Good Stories That Have Been
Fastened on Inhabitants Of the
Land o. Cakes"

Even in our day, residents of the
British isles are rarely well informed
upon the geography of 'the states"
Perhaps, too, since we live in coun-
try that boasts a long list of Troys,
Romes, Athenses, not to mention Gin
cinnati and an occasional Cato or
Plato, we should not be surprised
when anyone assumes that anything
else in Greek or Latin is properly i'm
digenous to our map.
A Glasgow merchant and magistrate
of century ago. so Mr.. D. Macleod
Malloch records, had sent to a certain
mercantile house in New York con-
signment of goods that remained long
undisposed of. In response to his in
quiries. he was informed that they
were still in statu quo. He passed on
the information to neighbor, who re-
marked suspiciously, But ] never
heard of the place"
Nor l, either" replied the good
bailie, confidentially. 81 looked at the
map. but l couldna find 1t; and just
conclude it's sma' town up in the
kintra"
The simplicity and ignorance of the
rural Scotch magistrate often quite
equaied that of the English, immortal
ICED by Shakespeare in Dogberry; and
Mr. Malloch gives two more veritable
examples quite in the true Dogberry
vein.
That is most tragical event which
has just happened, said a friend to
Bailie Blank. Your neighbor, Mr..
b., has committed suicide!"
"Wha on?" inquired the bailie, Gag
erly.
Perhaps 1t was he--it was certainly
another Glasgow bailie--who, his
health being proposed at banquet In
honor of his recent dignity, responded
nobly to the toast:
Il Gamma but say, ma friends, that
I'm proud of the honor of being made
a bailie of this great city: and I'm
even, think, entitled to the honor, for
I've gone through all the various
stages of degradation that a bailie has
tae dae tae reach it."-Youth's Com
panion.

CHAPTER ".
Two DAYS of Paradise.


At first Elsa did not know whether
she was annoyed or amused. The
mans action was absurd, or would
have been in any other man. His ad.
vice to her to go home was downright
impudence; and yet the sight of the
parrot cage dangling at his side made
1t impossible for her to take lasting
offense. Once upon time there had
been little boy who played IN her
garden. When he was cross lie would
take his playthings and go home. The
boy might easily have been this man
Warrington, grown up
OF course he would come and apollo
gize to her for his rudeness. Perhaps
he had resented her curiosity; perhaps
her questions had been pressed too
hard; and perhaps he had suddenly
doubted her genuine interest. At any
rate it was novel experience. Ara
that bewildering likeness!
She returned to her chair and opened
the book again. And as she read her
wonder grew. The diction was ex-
quisite; there was style; but now as
she read there was lacking the one
thing that stood for life-blood. 1t did
not pulsate in the veins of these
people. Until now she had not recog-
nized this fact. and she was halfway
through the book. What had happened
to her since yesterday? To what cause
might be assigned this opposite angle
of vision, so clearly defined?
The book fell upon her knees and
dreamily she watched the perspective
open and divaricate. The low banks
with their golden haze of dust, the
cloudless sky, the sad and lonely white
pagodas, charmed her; and the Ian
guor of the East crept stealthily into
her northern blood. She was not con-
scious of the subtle change; she only
knew that the world of yesterday was
unlike that of today.

THE PENALTY Of
"CARELEssNEss
BY S. w. lnsIish,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry OF
"Fire!" you can be almost absolutely
safe In thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result of
combinations Of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
it will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness! Fire is the great de.
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
can be wiped out in but a brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not SO conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by. just as those of
Egypt OF old were passed owe when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck. they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you wan to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war.
fare against those things that ever
breed fires

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY P. p. CIaxton,
U, S. Commissioner of Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length Of
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty.
five days; in rural communities n
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff.
ference of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than n hun
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States Of California, New York and
Connecticut. the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses.
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education WI must
even up the school terms of. the
country and give to all country chill.
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-fve days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun'
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun.
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any 9th.
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

GOLD NUGGETS.
They Will Blister and Explode When
Heated In a Bunsen Flame.

ihey VIII buster ana Explode "hen
Heated In a Bunsen Flame.
BY what process is Il nugget Of gold
compactel into form In which II is
found? Sometimes a mass worth
more than $1,000 is found. In an
swer to the question there IS cited the
attempt OF an investigator in Austria
LA to ascertain the workings of ma
ture in this respect. This investiga-
tor. says the Science Slftings, cut and
sliced and polished gold nuggets with
the sole purpose Of ascertaining Just
what was their structure.
The first thing he discovered was
that there is one curious point OF re-
semblance between nuggets and me-
teorites. Both when polished and
etched with chlorine water exhibit a
crystalline structure.
In the case of meteorites the lines
thus exhibited On the etched surface
are called Widmanstatten figures, and
their presence is held to be one Of
the most invariable characteristics Of
those metallic bodies that fall from
the sky to the earth. But 1t Is not
meant to be implied that gold mug
gets have fallen from the sky be-
they exhibit a crystalline struc-
ture recalling that Of meteor1tes. The
resemblance is apparently only super
fetal, and the crystals of the nuggets
differ in form from those Of the me-
teorites.
Another curious fact is that when q
nugget is heated in a Bunsen flame
explosions take place on its surface.
Blisters are formed which continue to
swell until they burst with a sharp re-
port, and bits Of gold are violently
scattered about. 1t is evident that the
nuggets contain either gases or some
liquids or solids which are easily con-
verified into the gaseous form. the ex-
pansion Of which produces the explo-
stons.
