The prestlgo of Arnold at the begin clng of tlie revolution Is thus reflected in Professor Justin H. Smith's descrip tion in tho Century of tho heroic "bat tle with the vildcrnes3" in the march to Quebec, under Arnold's command: The name of the leader, too, excited enthusiasm. Dorothy Dudley and the rest of the ladio3 in Cambridgo loved to gossip about a man whom they de scribed as "daringly one desperately brave, sangulnoly hopeful, of restless activity. Intelligent and enterprising," gay and gallant; nnd the soldier lads told one another admiringly how he marched through tho wicket gate at old Tlcondoroga shoulder to shoulder with Ethan Allen; how ho threatened to break into the magazine at New Haven unless the selectmen would hand over the keys within five min utes, when his company heard the news of Lexington and wanted to set out for Cambridgo; and even how he tised to astonish the other boys, years beforo, by Belzlng the great water wheel and going around with, It through water and through sky. The Word Magnet. Thousands of years ago a mineral laving the strange power of attracting Iron was found in the country ancient ly called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The name of this country has given us the word "magnet," This mineral, which Is now called tho lodestone (not loadstone), attracted the attention of the curious, and it was discovered that a piece of iron which had been rubbed with the lodestone acquired the. same power of attracting iron; in other words, tbe piece of iron became a magnet. It wns afterward found that uch an iron or artificial magnet could be used like the lodestone Itself to con vert other pieces of iron into magnets by rubbing. Still more recently, a (node of making magnets by means of olectrlclty was discovered, that is, by wrapping a piece of insulated wire many times around the bar and then causing a current of electricity to pass through the wire. The familiar small toy magnets are simply steel bars, which have been rubber a few times Against powerful magnets. St Nicho las. How Insects Make Music The katydid has a wing that Is very curious to look at, says Laura Roberts, in "Four Feet, Two Feet, and No Feet" You have seen this little Insect, I have co doubt. Its color is light green, and just where the wing joins the body there is a thick ridge, and another on the wing. On this rlJge there is a thin but strong skin which makes a ort of drumhead. It is the rubbing of these two ridges or drumheads together which makes the queer notae you have heard. There no music In it. certainly. The in tects could keep quiet if they wished. But they must enjoy making the noise. The katydid sometimes makes two rubs on its drumhead, and sometimes ihree. You can fancy, she says: "Katy did," "She did," or "She didn't." The moment It Is very Jark they be gin. Soon the whole company is at work. As they rest after each rubbing It seems as if they answered each other. Do you know that bees hum from under their wings? It Is net the stir of those beautiful light wings that we bear. It Is the air drawing In and out of the ulr tubes, in the bee's quick night. The faster the bee files, the louder the humming is. Did you know that insocts feel? Indeed they do! They have nerves all over them, through their wings and out to the end of every feeler. A Story of Hypnotism. An amusing episode, In which the chief figure was a hypnotized police man, is reported from Bloomfontoln. A professor of hypnotism had taken a vacant shop In which to give oocular demonstration of his mysterious art, and his stock In trade Included a bed, upon which reposed a man who was represented to he In a trance The crowd that assembled on tfe opening 4ay to view the recumbent figure In cluded a member of the South African constabulary. This person went with a skeptical mind, and, seeing the 0 ure move, he at once denounced the whole business as a fraud. Tho pro fessor, not a bit disconcerted, engages him In conversation, and the skeptic was soon keenly Interested In the won drous talcs tho man or science was re lating. Suddenly tho policeman fell Into the arms of the professor and went through some very strange antics, one of which was to arrest the professor as a dangerous criminal. When It dawned upon the crowd that the man of law was really hypnotized tho Joke was greatly relished. After putting bis victim through a few more "tricks" for the enjoyment of the other visitors the professor restored him to bis senses as quickly as he had hypnotized him. When he realized what had hap pened tho policeman, looking white and frightened, made a hasty exit, and has not been seen near the shop slnco. London Clobe. A Cavalry Charge of Antelope. It was nearly sunRot when we ncared our camp on Fall River. From the first bench above the stream we saw a long file of elk coming to water on the further side, and when they had scrambled down the steep cut-bank the foremost one waded out. nnd start ed across. Soon he was beyond his depth and struck out boldly, swim ming in a long curve to tho shoro on our side. The others followed and soon the river had a whole string of elk across it. Before the last one was over we saw more elk coming from further down-stream. I happened to look back of me, and from the foothills came a small bunch of antelope, minc ing along in a coquettish way. "We are surrounded," said Leek. And tnere were two more outfit of ante lope coming, ono on our right and the other on our left. "I forgot that we are right near a salt-lick here," said Leek. "There Is no escape, but we will fight hard!" The first lot of elk got wind of us, and when they ran the other elk toolt alarm too. (But some of the antelope same right on, end we made two pic tures of them. They saw us after a while, and circled half ' around us. While Leek struggled to open a stub born plate-holder they formed in com' pany front nnd charged straight for us, till I thought they would really run us down. On they came till they wore not BO feet away, and then stop ping in line, cocked their heads and said, as plainly as they could, "Please take our pictures." Leek's plate-holder was hopelessly stuck, nnd I had used my last film. I folt as a man feels when ho takes a bevy of girls to a restaurant for luncheon, and then dlS' covers he has no money. I had lost the big fish and missed tho big buck; but never do I expect to feel so foolish as I did while those antelope faced our helpless cameras, in a pose we may never either of us see again. For 10 seconds they stood, and tneu ran away. As long as I live I shall re member that cavalry charge oj the antelope. Frederic Irland, In Scrlb' ner's. Study the Birds. If tho children might be educated In it'garti to birds much of the prejudice among farmers would be overcome Children are naturally interested in birds; it Is a part of their nature to watch, to study, nnd to admire these little care-free creatures; then they need Instruction some one, teachers or parents to tell them the names and habits of the different birds. The children can be interested to the extent of building bird houses, lit tie homos for these children of the woods; when a child puts up a bird' house and a family of birds takes up its residence there, he assumes a pro tectoratoyover this family and watches them so closely that by the time the small members of the family are full grown, he knows so much about their habits and general appearance that he never mistakes them for other birds. Alter this, his interest extends to other members of the feathered world The woodpecker Is a good subject for study. He Is not shy; you can go within a few feet of him and not dis turb him at his woV. It Is the prevailing Idea among farmers that all woodpeckers Injure trees, and many a downy woodpecker has lost his life while really doing a good turn for his slayer. It Is the sap- sucker who has ruined the reputation of the downy. It la he who mokes the large hole In treos. Do not confuse him with the downy. If the crown in stead of the nape be red, the breast black and the throat cardinal, It Is a sap-sucker. Many birds sutler for the wrong' doing of other birds; If the former ob serves closely he will find out which Is tho true criminal. There is really no bird that the farmer can afford to kill, They are every one of more cr less economic value to him. The robin, it is true, eats a few berries, but he also destroys enough insects to pay lor them. Tbe English sparrow seems to be a useless factor in creation, and yet we see him always hopping around and plckl' .g up something from the ground So he must be destroying InBects, too, Bugs ana worms are our enemies without doubt, and these little busy people of the air are helping us all they can, but because we see them eat a few cherries or find our tender young lettuce destroyed (possibly by these same insects), we get our guns and go out and kill our best friends.

Behavior Is a mirror In which! every one displays his own Immage. Originality blazes a new track while eccentricity runs on one wheel In an old rut It Is better to suffer wrong than do It and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. Some men stand on principle and some others probably would If they had It to stand on. When you step up on one promise you will always find a higher and a better one before you. A laugh to be joyous must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness there can be no true joy. The art of saying appropriate words In a kindly way Is one that never goes out of fashion, never ceases to please, and Is within the reach of the hum blest The domestic man who loves no mu sic so well as his kitchen clock and the airs which the logs sing to him as they burn on the hearth, has solaces which others never dream of.

Genius Will O.it. Whon Joseph B. McCullagh wan allvo and editor of the St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat, ho was annoyed by a member of the staff who was continually late, 6ays the Saturday Evening Post. This young man arrived from half an hour to an hour and a half after reporting time each day, but he always had an excuse. Ho overslept or the failed to call him, or the cars were blocked, or something of the kind happened. Finally McCullagh ltsued an order that no more excuses would be ac cepted, and that unless tne young man came in on time he was to be dis charged. And the very next day tho loiterer was tardy again by 45 minutes. He was sent to Mr. McCullagh. "Well," said McCullagh, "you know what's going to happen to you?" "I suppose so," the young man re plied, "but I assure you, Mr. McCull agh, it wasn't my fault." "You've put In about every possible excuse,' said McCullagn, "but before I fire you I would like to know, just for curiosity, what your excuse It." "It was this way," said the young man. "I got up early, determined to get to the office in time. I went into u negro barber shop to be shaved. When the barber was half through, n band came along, and he couldn't resist tho Impulse to follow It It was almost an hour before he came back, and 1 had to wait for him." McCullagh chuckled. "Young man," he said, "I'll give you another chance. I want you to write fiction for the Sun day paper." The Stoat and the Rabbit. Tho rabbit was very jealous that his cousin the hare should be king of the rodents. And he said to the stont, one of the hare's subjects: "I am surprised that you, with your superior strength, should submit to that weakling of a hare. It would be so easy for you, if you tried, to give him fangs and settle him. Why don't youT" "Happy thought," answered the stoat "Yes! Rather think I'll adopt your suggestion." So he went, and catching the hare bait asleep killed him with astonishing ease and proceeded to suck his blood with great gusto. Then the rabbit, as the hare's near est relative among the rodonts, trium phantly succeeded to the kingdom. But when, In the exercise of his roy al power, he came to demand submis sion of the stoat the latter merely laughed In his face, inquiring deris ively; "My good animal, whon you remind ed me how much stronger I was than the bare, did it not occur to you that you were teaching me a similar fact of natural history in regard to the rabbit?" Moral: (May be had on application to King Potor of Servla). London Truth. Leaf-Cutting Bees. The leaf-cutting bees nre near rela tives of the lioney and bumble-bees, which they closely resemble. They derive their name from the habit you have observed, of cutting out bits of loaves for tholr cells. The circular piecos are for t'ae ends of the colls, and the oblong pieces for the sides. Theao culls are usually in burrows cut into wood, for some of we loaf- cutting beos, like the carpenter bees, havo the talent of cutting holes Into wood. St. Nicholas. No Great Loss.

HOW THBY GOT THEIR NAM ML Derivations of Hsokrttye, Ccach, Csb and Brougham. Men who In these days "hire a Back" never stop to Inquire how the vehicle) they engage to wheel them to their homes or to a depot got Its name. It suffices to know that everybody else) colls It a hack and to them it is sim ply that and nothing more. The orig inal backs were termod hackney coaches because they were drawn by "hacknoys," a name applied to easy going, safe-pacing horses. Coach Is dorived from the Frenchv coche, a diminutive form of the Latin conchula, a shell, In which shape tbe body of such conveyances was orig inally fashioned. ScMom, If ever, I the full term "omnibus" applied to those heavy, lumbering vehicles found In so many law cities. With the) characteristic brevity of English speak ing races the title has been changed to) "bus." These were first seen In Paris lit 1S27, and the original name of omni bus Is dorived from the fact that It first appeared on the sides of each con veyance being nothing more than the) Larln word signifying "for all." Cab Is an abbreviation for the Ital ian word "cabriola." which was changed to "cabriolet" In French. Both words have a common derivation "cabriole," signifying a goat's leap. Tho exart reason for giving It this strango application is unknown, unless because of the lightness and springi ness of the vehicle In its original form. In some Instances the names of spe cial forms of carriages are derived front the titles of the persons who intro duced them. The brougham was first used by the famous Ixrd Brougham, and William IV.. who was originally the Duke of Clarence, gave the latter name to his favorite conveyance. Tho popular hansom derives Its name from Its introducer, Mr. Hansen, and tho tilbury, at one time a very fashionable two-wheeled vehicle, was railed from a sporting gontleman of tbe same namo. Landau, a city In Germany, was the) locality In which was first made the Style of vehicle bearing that name. Sulky, as applied to a wheeled con veyance, had its origin In the fact that when It first appeared the person who) saw It considered that none but a Bulky, selfish person would ride In such an affair, which afforded accommoda tion to but one Individual. Thet strange title was never changed. Coupe is French in origin, being de rived from the verb coupor (coopay). to cut. This was considered an appro priate designation because it greatly resembled a coach with the front part cut off. The old-fashioned gig was given that name from its peculiar Jumping and rocking motion, the word being front the French glgue, signifying Jig or a lively dance. Chicago Chronicle. British Incomes. The Incomes of the mighty always form Interesting reading. Generally they are put much too high. It is a little surprising to learn from official sources that there are only 19 persons In the United Kingdom whose annual Incomes exceed 50,000. One would have thought that, with so many South African millionaires, woalthy bankers, etc., Park lane Itself would have been able to furnish quite a small crowd of taxpayers of the 50,000 order, for that suili only represents a 5 percent return on a million capital. One hun dred and ninety-nine persons are In re ceipt of incomes ranging from 10,000 to 50,000, and 453 enjoy annual re ceipts of above 5,000 nnd under 10,000. Where does the wealth come) from? Land and house owners annual ly divide between them 238,000,000, business and profossionul profits are responsible for 487,000,000, the gov ernment pays out 44,000,000 on Its securities, and the huge army of offi cers are in receipt of 79,000,000. During the last ten years London house proprietors secured 7,000,000 more than In the previous decade, a big slice of which must come front the fashionable flats which rise on fairy wings throughout the metropolis. One moral from the return is either that the millionaire is not quite so? common in our midst as most people) would Imagine, or that his money does not return him 5 percent. Men anil Women.
