" Twain's Emancipation. An honorary degree was once con- ferred on Mark Twain by a humble in- stitution in a Missouri town that had known him when he was playing Tom Sawyer there in real life. It happened that the degree confer ring cermonies took place one lazy day In June when newspapers generally were suffering from a total collapse of everything in the way of news. One New York news editor raked the land with a figurative fine tooth comb and got a dry haul for his pains. Then, recalling that Mark Twain was getting his honorary degree that very day, it occurred to him that a message direct from the famous author might relieve the situation in the news. Aft er much scratching of the editorial idea factory he evolved this query which was transmitted to Mark Twain by wire: How does it feel to be a doctor of laws? Please wire answer at our expense. After a wait of several hours this characteristic response came hot over the wire from Missouri: It feels like emancipation from ignorance and vice. MARK TWAIN. Riding a Camel-In the Desert.

Most people—and al boys —conclude that this defect arises from | clumsiness, but:that is a mistake. The difference between a girl’s throw: ing and a boy’s is substantially this: The' boy crooks his "elbow and reaches back, with the upper part of his arm about:at a right angle of forty- five degrees. The direct ‘act of throw: ing’ s accomplished by bringing the arm back with:a sort of snap, working every joint from shoulder to wrist. 'The girl throws with her whole arm rigid, the boy with his whole arm re- laxed.

This is the rea- son why a girl cannot-throw a stone. First Victory of the Revolution. The importance of the assault upon Fort William and Mary is generally overlooked by historians. The demon- strations against various British armed vessels, beginning with the firing upon the schooner St. John in July, 1764, as well as the battle of Alamance, in North Carolina, in 1771, were essential- 1y local and were 5o far removed from the Revolutionary period that they pro- duced no appreciable effect upon the war itself. The “Boston massacre” was the repulse of a mob by a squad of British regulars, but at Fort Wil- lam and Mary the royal standard was lowered for the first time, and the gun- powder taken therefrom was burned by the patriots at Bunker Hill. The king recognized in the daring assault the inevitability of ‘the impending struggle. There is truth in the claim set forth on the tablet on the old Fort Constitution of today that the site marks “the first victory of the Amer- ican Revolution.”—Army and Navy Life. ¥ 5 Burning Heretics.
