His Word.
Tho Rev. 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.

How the Monkey Won.
A race was proposed between a mon
key and foxhound. 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,

odds against him, and he is particular
ly combative when a stray ddg hap
pens along.

ber of other chickens to bo sold, but

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-

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

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

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. The
florin took its name from Florence, in
which city it was struck about the
thirteenth cenlury. Ducats were
especially struck for circulation in the
duchy of Apulia in 1111) and bore a
beautiful inscription.

' The latest swindling game was prac
ticed successfully the other day at Ben.
S ton, Pa. Two men, who appeared to
i be strong silver nud gold advocates,
were In the central depot and beeams
Involved In a heated discussion. Ths
gold man offered to get n gold double
eagle that If he hammered the coin Into
a shapeless mass It would still he worth
S2O. He was ostensibly taken up by
the silver advocate, but when It came
to selling the lump to Jeweler Roth the
store was closed. James Hagerty, a
strong sound money advocate who
stood by and who had Implicit faith In
the value of gold, gave the man S2O for
| the battered coin. The two enthusi
asts disappeared shortly after, and then
' It was discovered that the metai left
by them was spurious.
