Jefferson Davis and His Nerve*. Jefferson Davis shrank from the sight of every form of suffering, even til imagination. When the "llnbes In the Wood" was first read to him, a grown man. In time of illness, he would not endure the horror of it. His sympathy with the oppressed was almost abnormal, "so that," says Mrs. Davis, "it was a difficult matter to keep order with children and serv ants." All tills shows that lie was nervous, sensitive, which is n terrible handicap to a leader of men. lie suf fered always from nervous dyspepsia and neuralgia and "came home from his office fasting, a mere mass of throbbing nerves and perfectly ex hausted." He was keenly susceptible to the atmosphere about him, especial ly to the moods of people, "abnormal ly sensitive to disapproval. Even a child's disapproval discomposed him." And Mrs. Davis admits that this sen sitiveness and acute feeling of being misjudged made him reserved and uu npproachable. It made hint touchy as to his dkrnlty also, and there are sto ries of his cherishing a grudge for some insignificant or imagined slight ami punishing the author of it.—Gama liel Bradford, Jr., in Atlantic. Irving and His Money. John Ilare, the English actor, said that one of the failings charged to Irving's account was that of extrava gance—that ho did not know the value of money. It is quite true he did not know the value of money for himself, but he knew its value to others. lie knew its value to the poor and help less, and to these he gave with a lavish hand. Once, not long before his death, playing a three nights' engagement In an unpretentious midland town, his habit was to drive nightly to the then ter (a very short distance from his hotel) in the same dilapidated fly. The fare was a shilling. The conveyance was shabby, the driver old, poor and worn out. At the conclusion of the engagement, on entering his hotel, Irv ing said to the landlord, "Have you paid the cabman?" "Yes, Sir Henry." "What did you give him for himself?" "I gave him half a crown. Sir Henry." "Give him a sovereign," was there- Joinder; "he drives very well, and he doesn't drive often." The Myth of the Doones. How largely Mr. Blackmore drew upon his imagination for the story of "Lorua Doone" is made clear by F. W. Hackwood in his book, "The Good Old Times." There were, in fact, no Doones. The word was simply a local bogy, a modified form of "Dane," a memory of the faroff times when the viking invaders harried the land. "The only vestige of actuality discoverable is a faint tradition that a fugitive from the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape tho hangings of ludge Jeffreys, appropriat ed the ruins of some wretched lints in recesses of the Badgworthy glen, now 'the Doon valley,' finding there a safe retreat in which ho reared a consider able family, which managed to eke out a living by committing petty depreda tions in the district The 'last of the Doones,' an old man and his grand daughter, are said to have perished in the snow during the winter of 18CX)." Joy In Store For Some One. Among the advertisements in a monthly magazine we find this: For Salo or Exchange.—A fine young male bobcat and a female coyote; also a mandolin and pair of fieldglasses. Such opportunities as this are not often offered. The fieldgiasses most of us could manage to do without, but the male bobcat, the female coyote and the mandolin would go far to \ make life bappy for any reasonable in- V dividual. All those are productive of ■ music, and music gives joy to all right -3 ly constituted persons. There are, of * course, some people who cannot play upon a mandolin, but anybody can play upon a bobcat or a coyote. This fine chance to get a varied and inter esting collection of musical instru ments will undoubtedly bring many replies.—Rochester Union and Adver tiser. The Laziest People. There Is no doubt thot the Malays are among the laziest people in the world. Except in rare cases they will not take the trouble to learn when they are young, and afterward. If they have learned, they will not exert themselves to apply their knowledge to any object which require a sustained effort. That they possess effort Is known to any one who has seen Malays engaged in any enterprise which savors or sport. They do not mind the trouble if there is only some risk and excite ment in the work.—Times of Malaya. A Marked Judge. The descriptive reporter of a certain daily paper In de tilling the turning of a dog out of bj order of the bench recently detailed the occurrence as follows; "'lite <• lid canine as he was ignomlnlously dragged from the room «'ast a glance lit the Judge for the purpose of being able to identify him lit some future time."

The University Correspondent re eently offered a prize for schoolboy Mistakes. Here arc a few examples. 'Mute, inglorious Milton" these epi taphs are used by a writer who was envious of Milton's being poet orient. He tinds "sermons in stones" express es the same idea as Wordsworth's "the restless stone chat all day long is heard." Calvin was a noted scientist and peer, who died lately* Naples is an independent state In the north of India. Shakespeare made a mistake iu mentioning Galen, who did not live until a hundred years after his time. The feminine of fox is foxhen. John Burns was the name of one of the claimants to the throne of Scotland iu the reign of Edward I. The pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The three highest mountains in Scotland are Hen Nevis, Ben Lomond and Hen Jonson. Wolsey saved his life by dying on the way from York to London. When tho Eng lish first landed in Australia the only four footed animal in the country was a rat. Monsoons are fertile gorges be tween the Himalayas. When Bjornson Died. Bjornson's son, in describing the Inst hours of his father, writes: "Now and then the bright flame of his humor flickered up. The doctor felt his pulse and said It was good. With his face beaming with humor he turned toward us and said. 'I am the first man to die with a good pulse.' lie said one even ing—anil it seemed as if an old wise man was speaking with the weight of experience, 'Now I could write—yes, now I could write, for I In vc been in the realms of death and have felt the pain that attends death.' And when all of us thought that the indifference of death was upon him—my mother, who always gave him ills food, which he would receive only from her, stood at the bedside with a brooch on her breast which she had worn at her con firmation—then he opened his eyes and looked at her. He smiled, lifted his hand and touched the brooch. This was the last sign to the outer world he was able to give." A Cold Ride. All through his life Senator Dolllver of lowa had a horror of fast trains and possible railroad wrecks. Once he was on a train with Vice President Fairbanks. Dolliver awoke in the middle of the night, and it seemed to him that the train was going at terrific speed. He climbed out of his berth and, arrayed only in his pajamas, started down the length of the train to find the con ductor and ask him to order the train run ut less speed, it was a cold night, but the senator did not mind that until the door of Ills car snapped shut and locked behind him and lie found that the door of the next coach was also locked. lie rode sixty-five miles locked out in the cold of the vestibule before he could wake up anybody to let hint iu. Mr. Fairbanks finally heard his cries for help and rescued him.—New York Tribune. Necks and Legs of Animals. With few exceptions there is a mark ed equality between the length of the necks and of the legs of both birds and quadrupeds, and whether they be long or short is determined chiefly by the place where the animal must, go for its food. This is especially noticeable in beasts that feed constantly upon grass, in which case tlie neck has just a slight advantage in that it cannot hang perpendicularly down. Croco diles, lizards and fish have practically no necks. Fowls that feed in the water also offer an example of this correspondence between the members, with the exception of swans and geese and some Indian birds, which gather their food from the bottom of pools and must have long necks for that pur pose, while the short legs make it more convenient for them to swim.— Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. A Story Pepys Tells. l'epys tells in his diary that in the reign of King Charles 11. a customer bargaining with a London merchant for claret hired a confederate to "thun der (which he had the art of doing upon a deal board) and to rain and hall—that is, make the noise of—so as to give them a pretense of undervalu ing their merchant's wines, by saying this thunder would spoil and turn them, which was so reasonable to the merchant that he did abate two pis tolls per tun for the wine In belief of that" A Mighty Difference.
