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"
