two became separated. That is Clyde
fell off and the pony thinking his job
finished went home leaving Clyde a

A LIBERTY WITH TIME.
CastslaKa Interrupted Lecture In the
University Madrid.
In "Home Life In Spain" la a fine
story of the University of Madrid,
which once had among Its professora
that Senor Castelar who waa for a
time president of the short lived Span
ish republic. But when Alfonso XII.
was brought to Madrid after the fall
of the republic Castelar, with his com
panions, was exiled.
Some years afterward an amnesty
waa proclaimed, and Castelar returned
la triumph to Madrid to resuma his
office in the university. A rast gather
ing attended to hear his first lecture,
and the greatest orator In all Spain
mounted the rostrum, looked lmper
tnrbably at the sea of eager faces sur
rounding him and began, "As I was
saying yesterday' (Como decla ayer).
Between that yesterday and this
day he had fought the battle of the
faBea republic and had known the bit
teraeas of years In exile. All memory
f tab, however poignant In the heart
of Castelar, had passed from the pro
fessor of Madrid's university, and ha
continued his lecture at the Tory point
at which it had been broken off.
The Sedan Chair.
The sedan chair la named after Se
dan, the town where It waa first ased,
The earliest mention of It In England
occurs in 1581. Early In the following
century the DJke of Buckingham
caused much Indignation by lta use In
London. People were exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
ry him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1623 three curiously wrought
sedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their Introduction Masslnger pro
duced his play, "The Bondman," and
la It he thus adverts to the ladles:
For their pomp and care betas borne
In triumph on man's shoulders.
The reference is doubtless to Buck
ingham's sedan, which was borne like
a palanquin. "Bygone England."
The Magnetle Pales.
The magnetic poles are not station
ary. The northern one Is slowly, mov
ing westward along the seventieth
parallel and in the course of three or
four hundred years will probably have
encircled the geographic north pole
and returned to about Its present loca
tion. Of course the southern magnetic
pole follows a corresponding course
aboat the geographic south pole. In
sack cities In the United States ss
Omaha, Sloax City, Topeka, Oalvestoa.
etc., the compass needle would point
about In the direction of the north
star and the north pole that Com
mander Peary reached. This geo
graphic pole is aboat 1.500 miles north
of the magnetic pole, toward which
the needles of all compasses point

Earliest Um of Mineral Ink.
in ancient times India Ink, made
from lampblack and glue, was ued
for writing on papyri, but Inspection
of the earliest vellum or parchment
MSS. shows that Iron gall Inks were
Introduced not later than the ninth
century. The reason for the change
was that although a carbon Ink Is
more permanent, it lias no penetrating
power and can be sponged from the
Tellum. whereas the Iron Ink bites In
to the filters and resists the destruc
tive action of both air and light.
Age and Youth.
W. D. Ilowells said of old age at
Be of his Sunday afternoons:
"Age Is modester than youth. I've
ften noticed that when I tell a moth
er that her daughter Is the Image of
what she was herself at nineteen the
Mother is delighted, but the daughter
looka startled."
