WASHINGTON IRVING.

Washington Irving was not a ready
afler dinner speaker. The author of
"American Bookmen" Bays that he
phnnned pnMie appearance. Yet when
Dickens came to New York, in 1642.
Irving could not escape presiding at
the great dinner in bis honor. They
had already become friends through
correspondence, for Irving's delight in
LittW Nf'.l bai to be crprsed in a
letter t-i tb" author, and Dickens, in
his cnthnsinstic response, had said:
" -Diedrkh Knickerliocker' I have
w.irn to death in my pocket, and yet I
t.h.ml.t show yon his mutilated carca.-
with a joy lieyotid expression."
The night of the public dinner came,
and Irving' dread of the introductory
sjie-eeh kept him murmuring throughout
ti reou-L "I shall certainly break
down."
At the nrorer time he roe to bis
feet, beiian bravely, but could only ut
ter a few sentence, and ended by tak
ing refuge in tb announcement of the
toast :
"diaries Dickens, the raost of the
nation."
The npplans waa gersrons, and Ir-
ins took his seat.
"There!" be said. "I told yon 1

Later, while on his way to Madrid.
d himself called nixin at the
dinner of the Literary fund in London
to re.ic.ud to the toast, "Washington

he could say in acknowledgment of an

Dr. Marco-Leonardo Nardez, the

the nsy.-er would be ZfoH times. Both

It require t.nt 23 hours aEd 56 min

interval between two successive pas

that is to say. the time which elapses
after the snn is seen exactly sonth in
iU diurnal course throngh the heavens
before it is again een in that position.
Now. in conseqneni-e of the earth's
revolution in its orbit, or path ronud
the sun. the snn has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in a
direction from east to west. At noon
tomorrow the sen will be a thott dis

explorer, was tbe i-nest of a rich Ham
burg merchant Tbe merchant's son, a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament, said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert i n the back of a camel lie
thought such a ride must be very poet
ical indeed.
"My dear yenng friend," replied the
explorer, "I can tell yuu bow you can
get a partiul idea of what tilling a
camel on tbe deserts cf Africa is like.
Take an ofiice stool, screw it np as high
as possitli ::i:d put H in a wagon with
out any springs. Then seat yourself on
the stool and have it driven over rocky
and uneven gronnd during the hottet
weather of July or Auunst and after
yon have not had anything to eat or
drink for 21 hoars, and then yon will
get a faitt idea of how delightfully
poetic it is to ride t:n a camel in the
wilds ci Africa."
I ln)j the teft Hand,
The superiority of Jypanes-3 drawing
can probably be traced to tho custom of
that land to make the children practice
painting cud drawing without the
of any stick or supimrting device for the
hand. They are taught to draw at the
same time they are tangbt to write tbe
letters of the al hubet. and they are
tangbt to os9 both lucus equally in the
task.
Tho natural preference given to the
right arm has been explained physiolog
ically by the construction of the veins
and nerves that enter tho arms, those t.f
the right arm - being more prominent.
Tho reverse is the case in the few who
are naturally left handed.

A Joke oo the Jap.
The Japanese students at our college"
find tbe American sense of bniuor as it
is expressed by the other students almnt
them a somewhat peculiar thing, but
not at all bard to nnderstaml. Iu fact,
it is quite simple and elementary. A
Japanese gentleman who wss a stndent
at Harvard not long auo relates that he
was asked by some of his American fel
low students to "teach them some Jap
anese words." He began by giving
them "Good morning" in Japanese.
This pbrasft is rcpreseubil in Japanese
by n word which in English equivalents
cannot be more closely represented than
by the. word "Ohio." The boys were
inter, sted and promised to remember it.
Nest morning, whin tbe Japanese
stud. :it came to ti:e b-cture room, he
found a group of the boys gathered to
give hi:n tho morning salutation in
Japanese.
"Pena-ylvaniat" shouted one of
them.
"Kentucky!" yelled another.
"Virginia!" "New Hampshire!"
"Rb'de Inland!" still others called.
But not one of them said "Ohio!" It
was the American iden of a great joke.
Tbe young Japanese was- much edified
and made a note of it Boston Tran

Lina Fence Caie.
On S.-.tiirday a ca -o tri-l in court
which has a peeuli.-tr inlret, sinee H
contains a good deal, of information on
tbe subject of what is best not to do when
neighbors have troubl over disputed
property lines. Tbe case in question was
an action for damages brought by Mrs.
Ali. e eirew and Jo'ili I'.ielly against Jes
se H. liiuioud, of Suniinerbill township.
Tbe firiuH owned by these parties adjoiu
each other, and best summer a dispute
arose as to the line.n. Mrs. (Jrew and Mr.
Iti iliy had ereetrd feet e f wiie fence,
consisting of posts and two wire, anil
Piuiond claimed that it wax several feet
over his line. Tbey refused to removr
it, and on July 31, KN, Mr. limond cut
the wires. After they had been replaced
be e-ut them aain, and he-nee tbe acl:or
was brought for dturtHge. In court il
was shown that a line fence bad occupied
tbe ground more than 21 year, and the
jury found for the plaintitfs in the sum of
fl.V. The suit will cost Mr. Diiuond,
w ith the costs, between $400 aud $o00. A
peculiar feature of the case wa the fact
that the ai-tual loss arising" from the de
st ruction of the fence was not quite $-11
It was brought out In the trial of the casi
that a dispute about lines must be setllei
either amicably between tue psrtie-. o
in court, us it is not mtfe. for any one t

who undertakes to establish a di"ptite
