A Far Look
Three lsltnrn traveling- In the Isle of
Man thought they would visit Snaefell
the kin of Manx mountains When
walking up toward the mountain they
espied an old shepherd coining toward
them They thought they would take
a rise out of him so one accosted him
saying
They tell me old man you can see
England Scotland Ireland and even
as far as America from the top of this
mountain
Oh yes said the old man If you
will come with me I will show yon
much farther than America
So chuckling to themselves they de
cided to follow him After trudging
for about half an hour up the moun
tain side in a boiling sun they began
to feel rather fagged and kept asking
the shepherd how much farther they
had to go
lie kept urging them on a little far
ther until at last the three visitors lay
a I ilMfli jia 4 It iv vliii 11 n i m n I t 4ls i nna11

go no farther for any sight
Now said the old man if you will
sit here long enough you will see the
moon
Buried on His Horse
Lord Dncre who died fighting for the
Lancastrians at Towton England in
1 Uil directed that if he werekilled in
the battle his favorite war hore shoe
be burled in the same grave with him
According to his wishes when his in
terment took place in Saxon church
yard after the battle a tremendous
grave was dug and in it the warrio
was burled seated upright on hi
norse r or centuries retiectlons we
cast iiiion the accuracy of this tradi
tion but some years ago while exca
rations were being made close by th
reputed burial place of Lord Dacre the
pick of a digger struck into a great
bone and upon further search behr
made the skull of a big horse was
brought to the surface As this was
found almost at the very spot under
which the body of Lord Dacre wa
said to 1e l uas i cepted as confirma
tion or ine tradition particularly as the
skull was found to be standing verti
cally in the soil The skull was re
placed carefully in its original position
and the excavation filled up
Queer Creatures
There are microscopic creatures
which live in roof gutters and on the
bark of trees and are known as water
bears and wheel animalculae If al
lowed to dry up under the micros ope
they can lie seen to shrivel into shape
less masses which may be kept fci
years uninjured in the dried state On
being placed after this long interval
in water they gradually plump up re
smne their proper shape and more
about in search of food just as if notli
ing had happened Much the same i
true for the minute worms which
from the substances in which they
lire are known as paste and vinegar
eels Well known is the famous case
of the desert snail which retracted
into its shell was fastened to a tali
let in the British museum and show
ed no sign of life for seren years
when one morning it was found crawl
ing hungrily about the glass case that
formed its prison Westminster Ja

Saluting With the Hat
Before the inrention of wigs the hat
was rarely remored except to salute
others especially royal personages It
was worn at table when ladies or per
sons of rank were present Except
when saluting royalty it was the cus
tom merely to raise the hand to the
hat somewhat after the manner of a
military salute When it became the
mode to wear a profusion of false hair
the hat was less needed as a protec
tion for the head and was carried un
der the arm
A Rettery
A reliary was the name ot a Roman
gladiator armed in a peculiar way He
was furnished with a trident and net
with no more corering than a short
tunic and with these implements he
endearored to entangle ana dispatch
his adrersary who was called a secu
tor from sei ni to follow and was
armed with a helmet a shield and a
sword The name of the first is pro
nounced as if spelled the
accent on the first syllable
Improving on Euclid
The Pioneer of Allahabad tells
stories of some kindergarten classes
in the English army Among the defi
nitions given in an examination is one
of a circle peculiarly happy which
gires a freshness to Euclid It is A
straight line which starts at a certain
point and gets back to the same point
as quickly as possible
Your Chances
The little chances linger and return
but the great chances come and go and
never come again If we could look
back over the lires of the people by
whom we are surrounded how many
great and rich opportunities would we
see that they hare permitted to drift
by them unimprored
