What a Poet Writes.
“You never can tell whether poetry
1s loaded or not,” said a Columbia pro-
fessor descanting upon the muse, “and
what a poet writes in the moments of
his fine frenzy rolling may be suscep-
tible of changes which would make
him curse the pen did he but know
whence it pointed. Now, listen to this
couplet:
“Help us to save free conscience from the
Ww
Of Be hng Wolves whose gospel is their
maw,
“It sounds like some kind of a fam.
fly poem, doesn’t it, with paw and
maw coming in to make the rhyme?
Do you imagine the poet when he
wrote the lines ever thought of the
parents represented in such a bomely
way and bow the meaning of the
whole thing could be changed bY
changing the meaning of the end
words of two lines? Was be a bein:
ner? Oh, no; he was not a beginner
He had written several very classy
things. He was John Milton. You re.
member he wrote ‘Paradise Lost’ and
two or three other pieces of considera-
ble merit, though he never quite got
into the ‘six best sellers’ list, and these
two lines 1 have quoted close his son-
net to Lord Protector Cromwell, writ
ten in 1652.”~New York Herald.
The Southerner and Corn.

and his progeny upon corn. He slept

tress made of the husks. Today he
contributes some of its pith to the
manufacture of gun cotton with which
to blow the enemy to Beelzebub and
some more of it to the manufacture of
cellulose to pack behind the armor of
his country’s battleships to prevent
them from sinking when projectile:
plerce their plates. He plants corn as
early in the springtime as the season
will permit and gets up at dawn to go
into the fields and tickle its spreadii :
roots with a double shovel plow. In
midwinter he smokes his corncob pipe
before a corncob fire. Looking into n
bed of glowing embers through a blue
haze of the smoke of incense burned
to Mondamin, he returns thanks for
the cornmeal in the cupboard and
dreams happily of the “ros’'n ear” of
the golden summer to come. His ap
preciation of the value of Indian corn
is high. His affection for it in its vari
ous forms is abiding.—Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal,
Argyll and Longfellow.
The great Duke of Argyll was visit.
ing his son, then governor general of
Canada, and met Longfellow in the
American poet's ancient colonial mau-
sion at Cambridge, Mass. As they sat
together on the veranda the duke per-
sistently asked the names of the vari
ous birds he saw and heard singing in
the poet's trees as well as of the flow-
ers and bushes growing in his exten-
sive and beautiful garden. Longfel-
low was neither botanist nor ornithol-
ogist and did not know,
“1 was surprised to find your Long-
fellow such an ignorant person.” said
the duke subsequently to an American
acquaintance.
“Indeed! Pray. on what subject?’
“Why, he could not tell me the
names of the birds and flowers to be
heard and seen in his own garden.”
“May I ask how many languages
you speak?” the American asked.
“Certainly—but one.”
“Mr. Longfeliow,” was the answer,
“gpeaks six and translates freely from
almost all the languages of Europe.”
Rise of Russia.
In the history of Europe down to the
middle of the eighteenth century Rus-
sia is a blank. The foundation of the
kingdom was laid by Ruric the Norse-
man in the ninth century. In the tenth
century the Russians were Christian
ized, adopting the Greek form of Chris-
tianity. In the thirteenth century the
Russians were completely overrun by
the Tartars under Garghiz Kban
From the Tartars Russia was deliv-
ered by Ivan, who became czar in the
time of Elizabeth. It was Peter the
Great (1672-1725) who gave Russia for
the first time a place in the states sys.
tem of Europe.—New York American.
The Mistletoe.
The mistletoe is a Druidical contri
bution to Christmas. It was held in
great veneration by the Druids in an.
cient England, and the cutting of it
was attended by sacrificing and feast-
ing. With weird incantations the priest
climbed the tree cn which the mistle
toe grew and cut it away with a knife
purest gold, no base metal being al
lowed to touch it. As the twigs fell

a quaint type.
“Most of my blowers were simple
minded old chaps who firmly believed
they must suit their blowing to the
music. In soft, light passages they
blew soft and light. When the crescen-
dos thundered forth they worked frap-
tically, blowing with all their might
and main.
“Often a facetious reporter on the
local paper would refer to ‘the excel
jent blowing of the organist’s assist
aut, Mr. Bellows’ Then the blower in
his vanity would develop all the affec-
tations of a Paderewski or a Sousa.

organ would nearly burst.”
Another Case of Faith.
“I wrote a medical friend of mine in
London about a curious discovery
which I made recently quite by chance,
but which 1 shall never publish to the
world through the scientific journals.”
said a Brooklyn doctor last week.
“Not long ago this friend sent me
about fifty little dark colored pellets.
and he wrote me that they were a new
combination of drugs that he bad
found particularly good in cases of
brain fag. He asked me to try them
on my patients and report. During the
next month or so I doled out the pel-
lets to several of my patients who
came around complaining of tired
nerves. All of them said that the med:
feine did them a lot of good. Yester-
day, however, 1 was going through
my office desk and discovered those
pellets from London intact in the plain
envelope in which I had placed them.
A burried but anxious investigation
disclosed tbat I had been administer-
ing to my nerve weary patients some
wistaria seed that my wife had gath-
ered, put in a plain envelope and laid |
inadvertently on my office table.”—Ex- |
change.
No Lie After All
They were telling tish stories, and
at last the tall, lank man on the crack-
er barrel said:
“I went down to the river this moru-
ing, and, although the water was high
almost to a flood, I took a ten foot
pike” —
“Stop there!” exclaimed the fat man
with the corncob pipe. ‘Tell us you
took an eight pound trout. and I'll
sit idly by. but a ten foot pike—nev-
er! Ananias died for less than that.”
“1 took a ten foot pike pole,” cou:
tinued the nurufted tall, lank man on
the cracker barrel. “and in less thao
five minutes 1 hooked out a fifteen foot
bass" — m—
“See here! See here!” yelled the
man who owned the grocery. “You'll
bave to go way from here to finish
that lie. 1 hain't got no lightuin’ rod
on this store yit.”
“1 hooked out a fifteen foot bass
wood log.” persisted the tall, lank man,
“and 1 want to ask how much you
think 1 kin git for it.”
Not Aptly Worded.
Ap absurdly worded statement of a
fact which was not in itself remarka-
ble recently tried the gravity of the
listeners. It was on the occasion of
the funeral of an elderly woman in a
New England town. She had left an
old mother, nearly ninety years of age.
and an only son who was well on to-
ward fifty.
The services were conducted by a
timid young clergyman recently settled
over the parish, After praying for
many and various things be sald:
“And two we especially pray that
the Lord will comfort and sustain in
their loss and sorrow. One is the or-
phan, who, although no longer young.
is an orphan still and must so con-
tinue. The other is the mother, far
advanced in years, who has survived
her daughter, although considerably
her senior.”—Youth's Companion.
Physicians In Japan.
Medical students in Japan must have
had eleven or twelve years of prelimi-
pary training in the lower schools. No
one may practice medicine who has
been convicted of a crime. All physi
clans for the first ten years during
which they follow their calling must
keep full written records of all their
cases, and they must not issue boasi-
ful advertisements or claim the exciu-
sive right to any healing Invention
with a secret formula.
. The Best Proof.
Little Ted. seven years old, was sent
to the bathroom for a “good scrub” be-
fore dinner. but returned so quickly
that his mother declared he couldn't
possibly bave washed himself, He re-
plied, “Truly 1 did. mother, and if you
don’t believe it you can just go to the
bathroom and look at the towel."—De-
lineator.
