Dr. James McCosh, lately the president of Princeton College, was a man who dared always speak a word "In season" or out of season; for tho result, he would trust the good chances of life. Before Doctor McCosh came to this country Lord Dufferlu frequent ly Invited him to his mansion, Clande boy, near Dublin, where he was mak ing improvements upon ids estate, and entertaining much compnny; but this was not enough to satisfy the doctor. Ono day a3 the two were riding in the park, they loosened rein and went slowly, and the clergyman mustered what he afterward called either "the courage or tho impertinence" to say to his host: "My lord, I fear yon arc not fulfilling the cud of your life." Lord Dufferin turned to him some what imperiously und asked; "What do you mean?" "I mean that you have talents and accomplishments. You have great in fluence, both In your descent and your property, and something good and great . expected of you." "But what," said his lordship, "do you expect me to do 7" "I expect you to devote yourself to statesmanship," was the reply. "Do you think," raid Dufferin, thoughtfully and earnestly, "that I have the talent for this work?" Dr. McCosh assured him that he did think so, and the conversation contin ued as they rode slowly homeward. No one can now say whether this talk had any influence on Lord Dufferin's conduct, but it was not long before he was deep In political matters, where he succeeded In quelling a disturb ance, or as he afterward said, "pneify- Ing Syria as the sand of tho desert is pacifled, till the nextv breeze." But his public career did not end there, for since then he has been gov ernor-general of Canada, viceroy of India, and ambassador to France. It may be that Dr. McCosh's little word was the influence that led him to be gin his long and brilliant public serv ice. SOME AUSTRALIAN PESTS. ttnbbit Catchers Wlio Earn as High as $73 a Week. The average annual cost of tho rab bit In Australia is computed at $3,500,- 000. Until rabbit proof fencing was adopted, thus checking further Inroads of the pest, it was not uncommon to eec 100 rnbbitcrs employed on u single property, whose working average was from 300 to 400 rabbits a (lay. As they received five shillings (British) a hun dred from the station owner and were also able to sell the skins nt eight shil lings a hundred their profession was a lucrative one. Seventy-live dollars a week was not an unusunl wage and many an unfortunate squatter looked ,with envy upon his rabbiters, who were heaping up modest fortunes, while he himself was slowly being eaten out of house and home. Another pest that the squatters have lo contend against is the foxes. Some pears ago two of these were imported from England and they have so multi piled that they devour immense num bers of sheep and worry others to death. The Scotch thistle Is still another of Australian pests that is especially ob noxious to the farmer, while the Eng lish watercress, which grows in Aus tralia to a length of a dozen feet, is blocking up watercourses.

As the hound claim ed the selection of the ground, the monkey stipulated that any method of arriving at the goal should be deemed fair. "This," said the monkey, "Is neces eary, as It is well known thnt I cannot maintain one steady gait, like a dog." The judges said that the monkey should be allowed Ills way, and that any method of arriving at tlie end of tlie race should be allowed. When all was ready, and the signal given, the monkey sprung nimbly upon the dog's back, clasping him tightly around the neck, at the same time spurring him on. When near the end of the racing ground the monkey suddenly jumped to the ground, and with one bound reached the goal and won the prize. Wit often is more than a match for muscle. A Business Rooster. "Bob" Is a rooster which drums up trade for his owner. He belongs to a San Francisco poultry dealer, and besides being a business bird is a great fighter. He will attack a man, horse, dog or cat with equal disregard of the odds against him, and he is particular ly combative when a stray ddg hap pens along. Bob eame to bis master with a num ber of other chickens to bo sold, but there was something about Bob which attracted the poultry dealer and he noil AT WOBK. was spared. One day when the- door of ills coop had been left open acci dentally Bob walked out. Instead of trying to escape lie walk ed calmly down the aisles of the mar ket, stopping every few feet to crow lustily. A dog came along, and Bob nt once attacked him, and to the great delight of the market men drove him away. Then Bob returned to his coop, and. Jumping up on top of It, flapped his wings and crowed again and again. From that moment he has been per mitted to go and do as he pleases. When business is dull Bob steps out on tlie sidewalk and attracts attention to bis master's stall by crowing at the top of his voice. But the cleverest thing Bob does, is to take one of ills master's cards in his beak and strut up and down the mar ket with it. In this way he draws many customers to his owuer, for scores of people follow Bob out of pure curiosity. A Mairlc Letter. Did you ever think what a strange let ter S Is? It Is a serpent In disguise. Listen—you can her it hiss. It is the wizard of the alphabet. It gives pos session and multiplies indefinitely by its touch. It changes a tree Into trees and a house Into houses. Sometimes it Is very spiteful and will change a pet Into a pest, a pear Into a spear, a word Into a sword and laughter Into slaugh ter, and it will make hot shot at any time. Farmers have to watch It closely. It will make scorn of his corn and reduce every peck to a speck. Sometimes he finds It useful. If ho needs more room for his stock it will change a table Into a stable for him, and if he is short of hay lie can set out a row of tacks. It will turn them into stacks. He must be careful, however, not to let his nails lie around loose. The serpent's breath will turn them Into snails. If he wishes to use an engine about his farm work he need not buy any coal or have water to run It. Let the serpent glide before ills horses. The team will turn to steam. If ever you get hurt call the serpent to your aid. Instantly yonr pain will be In Spain. Be sure to take it with you the next time you climb a mountain if you desire to witness a marvel. It will make tlie peak speak. But don't let it come around while you are reading now. It will make this tale stale. How the Pics Got the Plains. louee lived on a farm In tlie western part of Illinois. My father owned a great many fruit trees, but the finest fruit on the farm grew on a plum tree which stood in the center of a small meadow, in which a few "of the liogs were wont to run. There were a few other trees In the meadow, and alto gether It made a very nice place to be in on a warm day. One morning when the plums were nt their best my mother gave me n small basket and asked me to go down to the tree and fill it. Tlie tree was loaded with tlie bright red plums, and I soon tilled my basket, and then sat down on the grass under a large sliady tree to eat some of tlie delicious fruit. Soon I heard a gruff "Ugh! ugh!" fol lowed by tlie falling of a perfect shower of plums from the tree. Quickly turn ing, I saw six large hogs standing un der the tree quietly munching the fruit and cracking the pits between their Having consumed all the plums on the ground, one old hog that seemed to be the leader went up to the tree, and giving another "Ugh! ugh!" rubbed his body against the trunk of the tree, and shook down another supply. I watched this performance for some time, and then informed my father about It. It is needless to say the pigs were promptly turned out of the meadow.—Chicago Record. Useful Hlack-und-Tun. Blaclt-and-tan dogs are not expected to earn their own living, any more than dolls and other such pets; but the Indianapolis Sentinel reports an Interesting exception to the rule. As the story goes, the mistress of the dog Is also a keeper of hens. One of these was sitting upon a "clutch" of thir teen eggs, and Don, the black-and tan, soon became very curious to know why she stayed in the barn so closely. The dog, as it appears, had formerly been given to teasing the hen, snatch ing her food away from her, and other wise making himself a torment; but this lnteryourse had gradually turned into friendship, and the two would sometimes be seen lying and squat ting side by side in the sun, on a bit of carpet in the back porch. During the three weeks that the hen snt on her eggs, Don used to pay dally visits to the barn, and sometimes would stay with her by the half-hour. Then the chicks came out of their shells. Don was Intensely Interested. All day long he scarcely left the barn. The next morning, when the hen step ped off the nest and with a cluck call ed her brood after her, Don followed. The hen fell to scratching, and the fluffy chicks darted hither and thith er, picking up the tidbits which the mother had uncovered. "Good!" said Don to himself; "I can help In this business," and to the ter ror of the chickens he ran in among them and began turning up the soil nt a lively rate. Then he sat down and waited. The mother lien called back the chicks to the newly scratched earth, and soon they picked It clean. Then the dog took another turn. And so the good work proceeded, to the great delight of nil the partleo. TALL SYCAMORE OF WABASH. Senator Daniel W. Vnorlicca May Re tire from Public Life. It Is expected In Indiana that Sen ator Daniel W. Voorliees, who for near ly twenty years has represented the Hoosiers in the upper house of the Na tional Legislature, will soon retire from public life. He is afflicted with heart trouble and his physicians advise rest. Mr. Voorliees is one of the pictur esque llgures of the capital, Tali, broad-shouldered, with a handsome face, luxuriant auburn hair and a voice possessing a peculiar charm, he would attract attention anywhere. His appellation, the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash, is familiar In all parts of the country. He is nearing ills 70th year. From early life he has been a power In Indiana politics. He was uot yet 30 when he first ran for Congress as a Democrat and was defeated. Four years later,-in ISUO, he was successful and served two terms. Then he was defeated twice for re-election and ap plied himself diligently to the practice of law. Had he kept out of politics and devoted himself to lits profession he would have been the foremost lawyer of the West. But In 1808 he returned to the political Held and was sent back to Congress. In 1877 he succeeded Oliver P. Morton as United States Sen ator and still holds that seat. Senator Voorliees' ability as au or ator, no less than ids political sagac ity, has made him a power In State and national affairs of the Democrat ic party. He has a strong voice. "Let a mob come rushing down the street," says a local historian, "Voorliees could put them at bay with a single plea, for all would stop to listen." Yoor- DANIEL W.

Growing Violets in Greenhouses. In order to understand how con tinuous is the work of growing violets take, for example, a greenhouse hold ing 10,000 plants. It is 400 feet long with a centre bed and two side beds. The plants, grown from last year's ruuuers, are renewed every summer. As soon as they ate in the houses they must be constantly watered and shaded by screens when the sun is powerful. Every plant is carefully examined and the runners, side shoots nnd bad leaves are cut off. When the entire 10,000 have passed through this examination it is time to begin all over again. If green flies or red spiders make their appenrance the plants must be sprayed. As cooler weather approaches the sashes must be lowered and raised to suit the temperature. Violets like best a temperature of from forty-five to fifty-five degrees. Toward the end of September or tho beginning of October tho blooms be gin to appear. At first they are small, later on they grow to the size of a sil ver half-dollar. They are fit to send to market in October; the season lasts until May, and is best at Christmas and Easter, The blooms are put up in bunobee of fifty each. During tho season the wholesale prices vary from fifty cents to 83 for 100 fiowers. A good plant should yield over 100 blooms, but as all plants aro not equally good, the average yield will not bo more thon half that number. One grower in Connecticut, who has contracts to deliver a given quantity of violets daily to oertain wealthy New York families, receives payment, it is said, at the rate of §4 a hundred flowers the season through. The greenhouses are heated by steam or hot water, and in winter it becomes necessary to havo a man stay in the houses all night to look after the fires and watch the thermometer at least every two hours.—New York Post. The Need lor Sleep. By far tho most important compen sation for all effects of fatigue issleep. Everybody, even the man mentally most inert, develops whon awake n mass of mental effort whioh he cannot afford continuously without suffering. We need, therefore, regularly recur ring periods in which tho consump tion of mental force shall be slower than the continuous replacement. The lower the degree to whioh the aotivity of the biaiu sinks, then the more rapid nnd more complete the recovery. The mental vigor of most men is usually maintained at a certain height for the longest time in the forenoon. The ovidenoes of fatigue come on later at this time of day than in the even ing, when the store of force in oar brain has been already considerably drawn upon by the whole day's work. If no recovery by sleep is enjoyed, or it is imperfect, the consequences will invariably mnko themselves evident the next day in a depression of men tal vigor as well as in a rise in the per sonal susceptibility to fatigue. The The rapidity with which one of the persons I experimented upon conld perform his tasks in addition sank about a third after a night's journey by railway with insufficient sleep. Auother experimenter oould detect the effects of keeping himself awake all night in a gradual decrease of vigor lasting through four days. This ob servation was all the more surprising, because the subject was not consoious of tho long duration of the disturb ance, andjwas first rnado aware of it incidentally by the results of contin ued measurements on the causes of manifestations of fatigue.—Popular Science Monthly. A New Fish Discovered. Scientists are startled when they find a now fish weighing twenty pounds. On September 18, 1896, while fishing ou tho banks some miles southwest of Cape Flattery, in the sohooner Wenoma, Captain Jacobson caught a strange and uncommonly beautiful fish in eighty fivo fathoms of water. The fish is twenty-six aid a half inches long, seventeon inches deep nnd nbout four inches thick. It weighs twenty pounds, and in high coloring surpasses nearly every other fish of the ocean. Tho top of the head is n brick rod, the back is a metallic blue, shading to an aluminum color on the under side. The mesial lino is strongly arched nud marked by a scries of large scales. Tho whole fish is oovered with pure white round spots. Tho fins are strongly spined and oxtend nearly the whole length of tho fish. The long spine of the dorsal is ten inches in length. The tail is lunate. Tho color of the fins is bright vermilion, edged with sulphur yellow. The mouth is small nnd toothless, the lower lip pro truding and of a vermilion color. Tho eyes ore large and round. None of tho books on fishes in the libraries of the University of Wash ington or tho Young Naturalists' So ciety give any description of this new visitor of the finny tribes.—Seattle (Wash.) Post-Intelligencer. Money. Tho word money owes its very ex istenco to the Latin goddess Juno Moneta, in whose groat temple was struck the first lloman coinage.
