The pretend6r succumbed; he in
stantly dismounted, being out-shouted
and oyerawed. On foot he took his
place in the ranks, while Ramsey be-
came sternly vociferous. Intention,

Far-wud march. Carry harms"
The army went trudging away un-
der the continuous but unheeded fire
of orders, and presently disappeared
round a corner, leaving the veteran
chuckling feebly under his walnut tree
and alone with the empty street. All
trace of what he had said seemed to
have been wiped from the grandson's
mind but memory has curious ways.
Ramsey had understood not fifth nor
q tenth of his grandfather's talk, and
already he had forgotten" all of it
yet not only were there many, many
times in the boys later life when,
without ascertainable cause, he would
remember words and sentences spoken
by the grandfather, though the lis
tener, half-drowsily. had heard but the
sound of an old, earnest voice-and
even the veterans meaning finally
took on a greater definiteness till ii
became, in the grandson's thoughts
something clear and bright and beauti.
full that he knew without being just
sure where or how he had learned it

that he erased half of it, slowly re-
traced figures, and stepped back as II
to see whether perspective improved
their appearance. Again he lifted the
eraser.
Ramsey Milhollandl"
'Ma'am?"
''Put down that eraser!"
''Yes'm. l just thought"
Sharply hidden to get forward with
his task, he explained in feeble voice
that he had first to tie a shOestring
and stopped to do so, but was not per-
mitted. Miss Ridgely tried to stimu-
late him with hints and suggestion;
found him, so far as decimals went,
mere protoplasm, and, wondering how
SO helpless thing could live, sum-
moned to the board little Dora Yocum,
the star of the class, whereupon Ram
sey moved toward his seat
Stand still, Ramsey! You stay
right where you are and try to learn
something from the way Dora does
| it."
The class giggled, and Ramsey stood,
but learned nothing. His conspicuous
ness was uncomfortable, because all OF
his schoolmates naturally found more
entertainment in watching him than
! In following the performance Of the
capable Dora.
Instructed to watch every figure
chalked up by the mathematical Won
der, his eyes, grown sOdden, were I'M
able to remove themselves from the
part in her hair at the back of her
head, where two little braids began
their separate careers to end in cOu-
pie of blue-and-red-ch checked bits Of rib
bon, one upon each of her thin Shout
der blades. His sensations clOgged his
intellect; he suffered from unSOught
nOtOriety, and hated Dora Yocum !;
most of all he hated her busy little
shoulder blades.
He had to be kept in after school !;
and when he was allowed to go home
he averted his eyes as he went by the
house where Dora lived. She was out
in the yard, eating a dOughnut, and
he knew It; but he had passed the age
when it is just as permissible to throw
a rock at girl as at boy; and
sitting his normal inclinations, ne
walked sturdily on, though he INDUCED
himself so far as to engage in a MUIR
INJURED conversation with one OF the
familiar spirits DWELLING somewhere
within him. "Pfa !" said Ramsey to
himself-or himself to Ramsey, since
it is difficult to say which was which.
"Pfa! Thinks she's smart, don't sheF'
Well, guess she does, but she
ain't!" II hate her, don't youT'
"You bet your life hate her"

Fuel From House Refuse.

The annual production of Great Britt
aims house refuse, which amounts to
some 100000 tons, could be made
to yield 100000 tons of fuel without
touching it's three to four million tons
fertilizer content, J. A. Priestly, pres
ident of the London conference of the
Institute of Clearing superintendent
declares. He also states the fuel con-
tent represents approximately one
tenth of the annual domestic coal con-
sumption of the country and even taxi
ing into full consideration its compare
lively small calorific value, the saw
ing to the nation from its utilization
would be enormous. This system OF
recovery of fuel in domestic refuse is
no longer an experiment. he says, and
Is practical for universal adoption ex-
cept for conflict with vested interests.

Early Astronomical instruments.

The earliest known astronomical In
struments of German make have re-
Gently been described by DR.. J. Hart
man of GOttingen. They belonged to
the philosopher and astronomer, Cardi-
nal Nikolaus of Cusa, who lived from
14O1 to 1864, and comprised a "tOr~
quetum," for measuring the longitude
and latitude Of the celestial bodies, an
astrolabe and two celestial globes.
A note has been found in the cardi-
NAILS own handwriting, stating that he
purchased three of these Instruments
in the year 1444, together with 16 as
Economical treatises, for the sum of 3S
forms. Doctor Hartman believes that
at least two of the instruments were
made by one Nikolaus Hybech of Err
furt, who was born i'm 1870.

Musical Calls" of Birds.

1t is strange that Ornithologists end
musicians who give such credit to- the
rooster, Bob White and whippoorwin
do not include among highly distinctive
bird calls those of the crow, cardinal
and catbird, for while most ordinary
persons cannot identify the calls OF tina
robin, wren, bluebird, finch, bunting
and the like, it is not to be believed
that anybody, once having heard the
"caw" of a crow, the Shake" of
the catbird and the "chuck-chuck-
chuck" followed by a long clear
whistle which the cardinal gives out,
could ever fail thereafter to recognize
these calls. But it may be that those
calls do not fall within the classified
ton of what is said to be the musical
calls"

Grandpa! Watch me- Grandpa! This

He rose from the garden bench
where they sat, and gave complex
imitation of what had most appealed
to him as the grandeurs of the pro-
cession, his prancing legs Stimulating
those Of the horse of the grand mar
shall, while his upper parts rendered
the drums and bugles of the band, as
well as the officers and privates of the
militia company which had been fea-
ture Of the parade. The only thing
he left out was the detachment of
veterans

the drums-and then as the bugles:

"Show-dler harms!'' He "shouldered

"That'd be me, Grandpa. That's the
way I'd do" And as the grandfather
nodded, seeming to agree, a thought
recently dismissed returned to the
mind of the composite procession and
he asked:

the Johnnies would whip the Unions,
