The first was In 1772, when Prussia took the palatinates of Mal- berg, Pomeria and Warmia, a part of Culm and a part of Great Poland. Aus- trla took Red Russia, or Galicla; a part of Podolia, Sandomir and Cracow, and Russia took White Russia, with all the part beyond the Dnieper. The sec- ond partition was in 1708, by which Prussia acquired the remainder of Great and a portion of Little Poland, and the Russian boundary was ad- vanced to the center of Lithuania and Volhynia. In the third and final par- tition, in 1795, Austria had Cracow, with the country between the Pilica and the Vistula. Prussia had the cap- ital, with the territory as far as the Niemen, while the rest went to Russia. —New York American. A Dramatio Author. Idke most actor managers, Macready was pestered by would be dramatic au- thors. An ambitious young fellow brought him a five act tragedy one ‘morning to Drury Lane. “My piece,” modestly explalned the author, “is a chef d’oeuvre. I will an- swer for its success, for I have con- sulted the sanguinary taste of the pub- lic. My tragedy Is so tragic that all the characters are killed off at the eng of the third act.” “With whom, then,” asked the man- ager, “do you carry on the action of the last two acts?” = “With the ghosts of those who died 1in the third?’--Cornhill Magazine. Home Life of Genius. The Actor (before breakfast)—Where are the papers, my dear? His Wife (an actress, absentmindedly)—C-curse you! They are far beyond your reach, thank heaven! And I'll die a thousand deaths before you can wr-r-r-r-ring the secret from—oh—er—Jack, I mean, the boy forgot to leave them this morning! ~Puck. A Reason. “Pa,” asked Mr. Henpeck’s little boy, ‘“why did Patrick Henry say, ‘Glve me liberty or give me death? ” “He may have Ireen out five minutes after the curfew rang the nlght be- Fore.”—Chicago Record-Herald. The Highest Applause. You would compliment a coxcomb doing a good act, but you would not praise an angel. The sllence that ac- | ¢epts merit as the most natural thing In the world is the mghest applause.— XEmerson.. _ 2 - 5 Water and Life. Of all the conditions preparatory to life the presence of water, composcd of oxygen and hydrogen, is at once the most essentlal und the most worldwide, for if water be present the presence of other necessary elements is probably assured. If water exist, that fact goes bail for the necessary temperature; the fixmnt of life being coextensive with e existence of water as such. It Is 80 consequentially, life being impossi- ble without water, Whatever the plan- et, this is of necessity true. But the absolute degrees of temperature with- in which life can exist vary according to the mass of the body, another of the ways In which mere size tells. On the earth 212 degrees F. limits the range at the top and 32 degrees F. at The bot- tom in the case of fresh water, 27 de- grees F. in the case of salt. On a smaller planet both limits would be lowered, the top one the most. On Mars the boiling point would probably be about 110 degrees F. Secondly, from the general initial oneness of their constituents a planet that still pos- sesses water will probably retain the other substances that are essential to life—gases, for the reason that water vapor is next to hydrogen and helium the lightest of them all, and solids be- cause their weight would still more conduce to keep them there. Water, indeed, acts as a solution to the whole problem.—Professor Lowell’s “The Ev- olution of Life” in Century Magazine. Only an Office Boy. “If you want a ready-to-hand study In the downright cussedness of humun nature unwarped,” said an insurance agent, “just watch the office boys in your own or any other place -of busi- ness. In four cases out of five the thing will come out this way: “A new boy is engaged. He is meek and mild, apologetic of bearing and courteous of speech. He is apparently seeking an excuse for daring to make a living. He looks reproachfully at the head office boy, who orders him around in a rough, catch-as-catch-can style. Such rudeness pains him. “Note this boy a little later. His rude superior has resigned or been dis- missed, and he is now head office boy. Is he meek and mild, apologetic and reproachful? Say, he’s a worse young ruffian than his predecessor—bullyrags the newcomer, ignores the cuspidor, uses language not fit to print and comes dangerously near ‘sassing’ his employer. He knows it all, and 4 lit- tle more. “There are exceptions, but they prove the rule.”—New York Globe. A Big Grasshopper. A geographical expedition which set out for Australia on an exploring and mapmaking tour had engaged a negro cook, who took great interest in every- thing he saw. While the party was en route a kangaroo broke out of the grass and made for the horizon with pro- digious leaps, an event that interested the colored gentleman exceedingly. “You' all have pretty wide meadows hereabouts, 1 reckon,” he said to the native who was guiding the party. “Not any larger than those of other countries,” returned the guide most po- litely. “Well, there must be mighty power- ful high grass roundabouts heh?’ he insisted. <L “Not that I know of," replied the guide. “Why do you ask such odd questions?” “Why, I'll tell you, boss. I was think- in’ of the mighty uncommon magnitude of them- grasshoppers.”—Kansas City Independent. An Artist’s Ruse. A Rowman cavaller commissloned a great artist to paint his portrait, no definite price being agreed upon. When the portrait was finished, the painter asked 100 crowns in payment. The highborn sitter, amazed at the demand, returned no more nor dared to send for his counterfeit presentment, whereup- on the artist hit upon the happy expe- dlent of first painting bars across the portrait, then affixing the doleful leg- end, “Imprisoned for debt,” and finally placing it in a prominent part of his studlo, to which Roman nobles fre- quently resorted. Ere long a rich rela- tive came to the rescue and released his kinsman. Newton's Telescope. Newton’s telescope is a clumsy look- ing instrument, nine inches in length, two inches in aperture and capable of magnifying thirty-eight times. It was entirely made by Newton himself, who first exhibited it before the Royal so- clety In 1671, and more than 100 years later his successor in the presidency of the soclety laid before George III. Sir Willlam Herschel’s scheme for mak- ing a telescope on Newton’s plan, to be forty feet in length amd four feet in aperture—Pall Mall Gazette. Financial Expedient. Shoeblack—Shine, sir? Four sous? Passerby—No, thank you. Shoeblack— I'wo sous? Passerby—No. Shoeblack— For npothing, then? Passerby — All right, if you like. Shoeblack (after having finished one shoe)—It's 6 sous to clean the other, sir.—Nos Loisirs. Kept Busy. One of the contemporary poets asks, “Where are the bright girls of the past?” Our own observation is that gome of them are administering cau- tious doses of paregoric to the bright girls of the future. Tender Hearted. Mrs. Muggins—My husband is too tender hearted to whip the children. Mrs. Buggins—Humph! My husband 18 s0 tender hearted that he can’t even beat the carpet! —_— ‘Where envying is, there is confusion and every evil work.—New Testament. Wouldn't Tip It. A Toronto man who visited England ! last summer appears to think that country the champion tip taker. He says: “Well, I had tipped every man from the swell gent who ‘seemed to own the house of commons down to the: hireling who gummed the -wrong labels on my luggage, and I went into the waiting room on the landing stage at Liverpool to wash my hands of ev- erything English,and what do you think stared me in the face when I had fin- ished? A placard saying, ‘Please tip the basta: Il be hanged 1t alal” Three Queer Thinga 3 The curions things which oecenr in the world on a miven day would no doubt It collected excite the wonder of the most lueredulous. Yet lu a single newspaper theret was recently found an account of a woman ‘who was gullty of so infamous a proceeding as going to sleep at a shop while the as- sistant was in the act of showing her some dress stuffs, accompanying the exhibition with the usual eloquence of these individuals. The second related the acuteness of || two tramps who conceived the idea of going to a fancy dress ball in their ordinary attire. As may be imagined, they devoted the best part of thelr time to a serious inroad on the re- sources of the supper room, much to the amusement of the whole party, who naturally thought they were guests who had been invited to the entertuinment and who, having made themselves up with exceptional skill for their assumed parts, were carrying out the idea of the characters they represented for the purpose of the jest. The third story was that of an ab- sentminded young woman who was playing with a pair of scissors and proceeded to trim off her eyebrows quite unconscious of what she was doing.—Pearson’s Weekly. Benton and Barton. In the “Thirty Years In the United States Senate,” by Thomas Hart Ben- ton, Missouri’s famous United States senator, there is scant mention of Ben- ton’s colleague from Missouri, David Barton. The only place in which his name occurs is where Senator Benton gives the roll call of the senate, and Barton’s name of course is therein contained. Benton undertook to pun- ish Barton by ignoring him and thus relegafe the first United States sena- tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton had brought about Benton’s election to the senate. Barton was first named by the legisiature, and there was a long contention as to the second senator- ship. Finally Barton’s friendship for Benton brought about Benton’s elec- tion. Later the two quarreled over the appointment of an Indian agent in the far west and drifted further and fur- ther apart. Finally the relations be- tween the two senators became such that they scarcely spoke to one an- other when they met—Kansas City Star. The Injured One. A gentleman owning a sugar estate In Demerara went out to visit it for the first time. The day after his arrival he stood watching the punts bringing the cane home. A young negro boy who was driving the mules, wishing to Increase the speed of them, struck one of them with his whip. The mule promptly responded by launching out with his heels and dealt the boy a kick on the head which stretched him on the ground, where he lay rubbing his woolly pate on the spot where the kick had been received. ° “Is he hurt? Is he hurt?” cried the planter in alarm. A full grown negro, hearing the expressions of concern, sprang forward hastily and, raising the mule’s heels, shouted out: #“No, boss! That mule him walk tendah fo’ a day or two, but him no hurt!”—Chambers’ Journal. The First Reporter. The modern Feporter harks back to the reign of Queen Anne and to the unknown scribe who attempted to tell the public the secrets of her parlia- ment. He had a hard time of it, for parliament wished to keep it8 secrets to itself. In 1728 an order was passed “that it is an indignity to and a breach. of the privilege of this house for any person to presume to give in written or printed newspapers any account or minute of the debates or proceedings; that upon discovery of the authors, printers or publishers of any such newspapers this house will proceed agalnst the offenders with the utmost severity.” During the famous Wilkes case in 1772 the reporters won the vie- tory which they have since held with- out dispute.—New York American. When the Lights Went Out. Almost every speaker has had the experience of the house becoming to- tally dark. because of the failure of the electric lights. Here is such an expe- rience by one lecturer. It was in Pitts- burg; the audience was a Hebrew so- clety. When the lights went out, the lecturer wiited a moment and then said, “We will proceed anyway, for 1 still have the Israel-lites.” It was the hit of the evening.—Lyceumite and Talent. A Great Secret. At some of the English country fairs a “great secret” is sold in segled en- velopes at twopence apiece. Here is the secret: “Never buy an article be- fore examining it. If you had known this before, you would not have paid twopence for this worthless envelope ‘when you could get more than two dozen good ones for the same price.” A Thackeray Slip. . Thackeray asked Lowell to point out candidly any error of Queen Anne English in the novel “Henry Esmond.” Lowell asked if people used at that time the phrase “different to.” “Hang it all!” cried Thackeray. “No, of course they didn’t.” Thoughtful. Singleton—Your wife appears to be an unusually thoughtful woman. Wed- derly—That's what she is. Why, you couldn’t imagine half the things she thinks when I am detained downtown late. Nothing makes a woman prouder than to be-able to refer to her “old mm."—cmcngo Record-Herald. His Early Strugglel. “Tell me about your early struggles, grandpa.” “Oh, I never had no early struggles, Jonnny. I allns took things jest as they come.” — Louisville Courier-Jour- nal.
