Tho St iidi'nt'n Question.
The late John tt. Proctor was one of
the best story tellers in Washington. He
went to a dinner the night before he
died and told this tale of his college
days:
"The professor in psychology when I
was a senior was an erudite man who
sometimes talked of things HO far
above the heads of his class that no
body understood what he was driving
at.
"One day he started In on some ab
stract proposition and talked for half
or three-quarters of an hour. He was
.. ray over in the back of the book.
The entire class was dazed. The pro
tocol' rambled on with his proposi
tions until everybody was so tangled
that nobody was sure of his name.
I i. ally the professor took out his
watch, pa-'.ed at It impressively and
said: 'Now, pentlemen, there are ten
minutes remaining of the recitation
hour. If anybody wishes to question
m> concerninp the subjects I have Just
treated. I shall be glad to an Aver to
the best of my ability.'
"There 1 as a ghastly silence. No
body k:a v what he had been talking
'•out. To oh' professor gazed com
plieeiitly around. Finally a student
stuck up a timorous hand.
"'What Is it?' asked the professor
pompously.
" 'Please, professor,' said the stu
dent. 'what time is it?' "

The Governor'* Dilemma.
Governor Van Sant of Minnesota was
in New York recently. Soon after his
arrival a former resident of Minnesota
called at the hotel and was shown to
the governor's room. He found the
governor sitting iu a chair surveying
with a ploomy countenance a trunk
which stood against the wall.
"What is the matter, governor?" ask
ed the caller.
"I want to get a suit of clothes out
of that trunk," was the answer.
"Well, what's the difficulty—last the
key ?"
"No, I have the key all right," said
the governor, heaving a sigh. "I'll tell
you how it is. My wife packed that
trunk. She expected to come with me,
but was prevented at the last moment
To my certain knowledge she putin
enough to till three trunks the way a
man would pack them. If I open it
the tilings will boll all over the room,

is whether It would be cheaper togo

In Scotland some years npo h» Sir Hen

says: "The falconers had an old setter

threw off a hawk, which roue in cir

the dog. The dog looked up to see if
the hawk was ready and then ran in
and roused the birds. Swoop went the
hawk. If he missed, the birds general

A SkltllNh Horse.
Not long ago R negro bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church began a
revival series of meetings In \ irglnla.
In the front pew of the church wit an
old time darky with gold rimmed
glasses, white hulr and an air which
attest«ni his long experience in th«
world and his wisdom thereof.
"May the Lord preserve us from the
temptation to steal!" exhorted the
bishop.
The old man brought his cane down
heavily on tho floor and encouraged
tht> bishop with the injunction, "Ride
dat boss, bishop!"
"Keep us from slandering our neigh
bors!" pleaded the shepherd of the
flock.
"Hide dat hoss, bishop!" echoed the
old man.
"And from the awful sin of lying!"
"Hide dat hoss, bishop!"
"And from taking thy name In vain!"
"Ride dat hoss, bishop!"
"From the demon drink preserve
us!"
The absence of the encouraging re
sponse was distinctly noticeable.
"From the demon drink preserve
us!" called the bishop loudly.
There was no answer.
"What's the matter, Brother Tolll
verV" finally asked the bishop, for tho
entire congregation was puzzled.
"Well, yo' mout ride dat hoss, bish

"Yes; I did," declared Jimmle stout

"Well, if you do It again I*ll put you

Nothing more was said, and the

and again Jimmle Blaine put his

forth.
Cumple reined in the horse, took the

that was not the proper way to treat a

Amid the highlands of Scotland many
good Catholic priests of the mountains
and Islands have permission to protect
their throats from the raw damp of
the winters by beards, often of <iuite j
patriarchal dimensions. "1 remember,"!
says a writer, "a good old Scottish j
padre who was elected (much against I
his will) bishop of a highland see and
went to Home to receive episcopal con
secration with Ills cheeks adorned with
whiskers much more voluminous than
the 'clerical inch' which custom or
courtesy used to allow to all Catholic
ecclesiastics The cardinal prefect of
propaganda, who was to perform the
consecration ceremony, was horrified
and insisted on the sacrifice of tht
whiskers before the consecration took
place, 'i'h* l bishop elect submitted un
der protest. But he was no sooner back
in his highland fastness than the whls
kers blossomed forth again."
Ancient Slot Mnrhlnei,
It is worth while recording that the
"penny in the slot" automatic machine
was known In tho time of Hero of Al
exander, who describes in his "Pneu
matics" "a sacrificial vessel, which
flows only when money is introduced."
When the coin Is dropped through the
slot it falls on one end of a balanced
horizontal lever, which, being depress
ed, opens a valve suspended from n
chain at the other end, and the water
begins to flow. When the lever has
been depressed to a certain angle the
coin falls off, and the valve, l>elng
weighted, returns to its seat and cuts
off tho supply. Hero's date Is a llttl"
uncertain, but he is supposed to have

A snake not often heard of, at least
In America, is the liver colored snake
with two heads, or perhaps they should
be called mouths, though it does not
have two mouths at the same time.
They are reversible mouths, occupying
the opposite end every six months. It
lies with the two ends crossed on each
other, as with folded hands. Every
nix months the change of the seasons
reverses the functions of the two ends,
the head becoming the tall and the tail
becoming the head. The mouth at one
end heals or closes up all but a small
opening, while the opposite end be
comes the mouth for the next six
months.

which she was devoted. It died, and
she became inconsolable.
Formerly the gentlest of creatures,
she grew irritable and even dangerous.
One morning she broke the chain
which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night about ten days after her
escape the officer who had been In
charge of her went out to lie In wait
for bears at a pond in a jungle at
some distance.
As he and his native attendant were
returning early in the morning the na
tive silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way toward
the camp. They both sprang behind
trees, and when the elephants had
passed the native insisted that the old
er one was their old friend the incon
solable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned and
had gone from one person to another,
touching each with her trunk, as If ex
hibiting her adopted child, which she
had evidently begged, borrowed or
stolen in her absence.
Her good temper and usual docility
returned at once, and her owner
blessed the good fortune which bad
enabled her to procure a baby ele
phant.
