character which show ed that she had it under observation Iti the record which we kept of the childrens sayings there Is an instance of this She was twelve years old at the time We had established a rule that each member of the family must bring a fact to breakfast a fact drawn from a book or from any other source any fact would answer Susys first contribution was In substance as follows Two great exiles and former opponents In war met In Epkesus Sclplo and Hannibal Sciplo asked Hannibal to name the greatest gen eral the world had produced Alexander and he explained why And the next greatest Pyrrhus and he explained why But whore do you place yourself then If I had conquered you I would place myself before the others Susys grave comment was That attracted me It was just like papa he is so frank about his books So frank iu admiring them she meant From Mark Twains Auto biography In North American Re view Impossible A year or so ago an American stu dent in Berlin was attending a lecture in a room drowsily close through lack of ventilation To keep awake he be gan whispering to a German at his side the story of Mark Twain about the man who lived all his life In a chronic fear of fresh air The relatives of this man as Is well known decided after his death to have his remains cremat ed and the climax of the story occurs when the undertaker opening the door of the oven to see whether Incineration was complete was appalled to hear the corpse speak out and request him to close the door and shut off the draft The American sprung the joke as ef fectively as he could but never a smile was his reward His German friend remained for several moments in a per plexed study then he leaned over to the American and said But how could that bo The man was dead Har pers Weekly Power of Falling Water It is perfectly Avell known to every one that water constantly dropping upon a stone ivill wear it away and there Is a trite old proverb regarding this fact The force of a single drop of water falling from a height Is not great but the results of this tiny blow when it is many times repeated are astounding There is a story of one poor wretch who was bound with his back to a stone wall and had a stream i of water of the bigness of a mans finger directed on to his bare head j the water falling from n height of J about eighteen feet The receptacle I from which this apparently harmless stream trickled was a barrel holding j only twenty gallons but before the water had more than half run out the man was dead with a hole in his skull which exposed the brain Popular Me chanics All She Had In the absence of his wife and the illness of the servant Mr Taylor un dertook to help three-year-old Marjory to dress lie had succeeded In getting her arms in the sleeves and through the armholes of her garments and had buttoned her into them Then he told her to put on her shoes herself and he would button them ne soon discov ered that she was vainly striving to put a left shoe on her right foot Why Marjory he said impatiently dont you know any better than that You are putting your shoes on the wrong feet Deys all do foots I dot papa re plied Marjory tearfully Youths Com panion Climbing

participation In government than they enjoy even In England or the United States The suffragettes as they have been term ed have been knocking loudly at the door of the house of commons In Eng land only to be turned away with more or Ie3s lack of ceremony and some of them have been arrested for disturbing the peace while engaged In besieging the strongholds of male au thority In Finland despite the fact that the government is quite autocratic the women have succeeded In gaining admission to the parliament which is there called the diet Some of the MISS Ji HAGMAN nlsh women who have participated In 1 movements for Finnish nationality and 1 liberty have been rewarded by ment to Siberia Nevertheless the czars government has loosenod the l reins to the extent of permitting men to sit in the diet I In the campaign for nationality and j perpetuation of Finnish institutions j and customs the women raised funds needed for patriotic agitation spread j pamphlets and circulars to take the 1 place of the gagged or suppressed 1 press and bolstered up the courage of husbands sons and brothers This 1 work seemed to develop in them the 1 desire to exercise the suffrage They i came to believe that with universal 1 suffrage their country would be most j likely to obtain and preserve its ties There are six women deputies In the present diet One of the most prominent of them Is Miss L Hag man The others are Miss Dagmar Hervins Mrs Alexandra Gripenberg Mrs Minna Sillangva and Mrs Hed wlg Gebhard THE METROPOLITAN ANTONIUS Greek Church Functionary In Russia Who Is Friend of

church exer cises a strong sway over the emperor It was he who stood by the czar at the ceremony of the blessing of the Neva when the Russian monarch so narrow ly escaped losing his life He is said to head the party of reform in the Russian church and it was in part his influence which led to the proclama tion of religious liberty in Russia by the emperors decree Weliesley Float Day At the colleges

Philip L Hale in Bos ton Herald A Dog Detective In 1S29 a peasant was found mur dered in a wood in the department of the Loire France with his dog sitting near the body No clew could at first be gained as to the perpetrators of the crime and the victims widow contin ued to live in the same cottage ac companied always by the faithful dog In February 1S37 two men appar ently travelers stopped

ner new neighbors discovered that she was given to romancing about small mat ters On her own behalf she claimed to take the poetic view of life But one of her neighbors was inclined to use a shorter and more ugly word in describing the trait Among other things the woman from Albany stated that her late husband was a biologist in the states service presumably at Albany Later on it was learned that he really had been in the states serv ice doing time at Sing Sing for a small forgery A profe sors wife came to the res cue Biologist is the poetic term all right she said My husband tells me a biologist is a student of cell life Brooklyn Eagle He Couldnt Plow A certain incident connected with the great Napoleon while he was in ex ile in Elba is commemorated in the is land to this hour by an inscription af fixed to the wall of a peasants house A man named Giaconi was plowing when the famous exile came along one day and expressed an interest in his work Napoleon even took the plow share out of the mans hand and at tempted to guide it himself Rut the oxen refused to obey him overturned the plow and spoiled the furrow The inscription runs thus Napoleon the Great passing by this place in MDCCCXIY took in the neighboring field a plowshare from the hands of a peasant and himself tried to plow but the oxen i ebellious to those hands which yet had guided Europe headlong fled from the furrow Greenland Whales The great Greenland whale has no teeth its baleen plates or whalebone taking their place Along the center of the palate runs a strong ridge and on each side of this there is a wide de pression along which the plates are In serted These are long and flar hang ing free and are placed across the mouth Avlth their sides parallel and near each other The base and outer edge of the plates are of solid whale bone but the inner edges are fringed filling up the interior of the mouth and acting as a strainer for the food which consists of the small swimming mol lusks and medusae or jellyfish A Mans Career A man ought to look upon his career as a great artist looks upon his mas terpiece as an out picturing of his best self upon which he looks with infinite pride and a satisfaction which nothing else can give Yet many peo ple are so loosely connected with their vocation that they are easily separated from it Success Magazine He Knew Mother See here cried the boys
