Susys Opinion of Her Father
Before Susy began the biography
she let fall a remark now and then
concerning my 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

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

illness of the servant Mr Taylor un

her arms in the sleeves and through

her to put on her shoes herself and he
would button them ne soon discov

put a left shoe on her right foot
Why Marjory he said impatiently

England or the United States The
suffragettes as they have been term
ed have been knocking loudly at the

some of them have been arrested for

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

THE METROPOLITAN ANTONIUS
Greek Church Functionary In Russia
Who Is Friend of Douma
According to letters written by the
late Constantiue Pobedonostzeff procu
rator general of the Russian holy syn
od it was this religious functionary
Avho prevented the late Emperor Alex-
l ander III from granting a constitution

and the most influential personage in
1 the Russian church now is Antonius
metropolitan of St Petersburg who is
I described as a strong friend of the
douma It is said that he has bent
J every effort to prevent a break between
the czar and the douma and to thwart
the designs of the reactionary party at

A Dog Detective
In 1S29 a peasant was found mur

In February 1S37 two men appar

requesting shelter from the storm
which was then granted but no soon

A New Phase of Biology
A widow recently came from Albany
to live with relatives in Brooklyn 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
