Pioneer l A Dream and Its Sequel. “In one of-'the Kust Indian border wars there was enguged an'officer of high repute, the member of an anclent county family,” says Mrs. Mayo in “Recollections of Fifty Years.” One night the laird, its head, started from his sleep, exclaiming: * ‘There's the shot that has killed my brother! “His wife told him it was but a dream. He must have givep an anx- fous thought to his brothers before going to sleep. Next day the pair were in the garden directing their gar- deners when the laird suddenly ex- claimed: **Do you hear the bagpipes? ' answered the lady. ‘I can hear nothing. 1| am sure there is no sound.’ “*Strange. said the laird, ‘for I can even hear what is played. It is “The Flowers o' the Forest Are A' Wefe Away.” ' *A few hours later came the tele- gram reporting that the brother had been shot down by some border war- rior and over his lonely grave the men of his regiment had played the pa- thetic air whose mysterious echo seem- ed to have reached the laird.” Shakespeare’s Definition of Poetry. What a pity it is that Shakespeare ever used that phrase “fine frenzy!" It has become a fuddlesome factor in the framing of foolish fancies. It is to the honor of Shakespeare, however, that he came nearer to giving the world the true definition of poetry than has any other man, for he did explain what constitutes the true art of poe- try making, and from this we are en- abled to know what Shakespeare con- sidered poetry. Curiously enough, it is in the very passage where Shake- speare uses that unfortunate phrase “fine frenzy.” Let us quote: The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven, And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown the poet's pen Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. —Hudson Maxim’s “Science of Poetry and Philosophy of Language.” Hard to Understand. Supposing some one should spring this on you rapidly and ask you what it meant: “Mare-zeat-toats-deer-zeat-toats- lam-sleativy-lit-tie-kid-slea-tivy-too.” You would never think it was plain English, but it is. It is simply: “Mares eat oats; deers eat oats; lambs Il eat ivy; little kids 'l eat ivy too.” You should say this over many times to yourself until you can roll it off very quickly, run the words together, and then when you try it on your friends they will have to confess that they can't understand it. They will feel quite foolish when you show them that it is common English and that it sounds odd only because the words are spoken fast and runm in together. It is this running of the words in together which makes it hard for a foreigner to understand our language or us theirs. —Omaha World-Herald. Swift's Sarcasm. “My brethren.” said Dean Swift in a sermon. “there are three sorts of pride—of riches. of birth and of tal- ents. 1 shall not now speak of the latter, none of you being lisble to that abominable vice.” MRS. M. HARRIS BAXED IN OVEN MRS. M. HARRIS, Mrs. Harris says: “I wish to testify to the efficiency of Loughney & Lough- ney bake ovens. They baked me in their ovens at a tremendous heat and gompletely cured me of my rheumatism. Those who have rheumatism and know the racking pain will realize how pleased I am to feel well and free from pain again. I would not believe such quick results could be obtained had I not underwent the treatment myself, The Loughney bake oven is a wonder- ful invention, and it is amusing to watch patients come out of the oven after their first bake, who could not walk or had no use of a limb, and see the surprised and pleased expression on their faces when they have full use ot their limb and find the pain gone. “Loughney & Loughney occupy all the offices on the third floor of the Christie building on Fourth avenue west between First and Second streets, Duluth, Minn. “They do not charge for consultation, and they told me what my trouble was to a letter. I did not have to tell them. My address-is 1606 Minnesota avenue. Yelephone, Melrose, 1727, Duluth, Minn. Going Round the World. . In suiling around the world east- ward the days: aré each a little less thun twenty-four hours, according to the speed of the shlp. as the sup is met a little earlier every morning. These little differences added together will amount to twenty-four hours. This gives the sailors an extra duy— not in imagination, but as an actual fact. They will have done an extra day’s work, eaten an extra day’s ration of food and imbibed an extru day’s al- lowance of grog. On the other hand, in sailing west- ward the sun is overtaken a little each day, and so each day is rather longer than twenty-four hours, and clocks and watches are found to be too fast. This also will amount in sailing around the world to the point of departure to one whole day by which the reckoning has fallen in arrears. The eastern bound ship. then. has gained a day. and the western bound ship has lost one. This strange fact. clearly work- ed out. leads to the apparent paradox that the first named ship has a gain of two whole days over the latter, if we suppose them to have departed from port and returned together.—Philadel- phia Record. Modern Gold Mining. Up until about 1850 only placer or surface gold was mined--that is, free gold, deposited in the beds of streams, in sands and in the crevices of rocks. Placer mining, mainly in new and re- mote regions, still furnishes a material though not a large percentage of the world’s output. Formerly the alluvial gold was separated from the sands and gravels containing it by washing them in pans, cradles, rockers and sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method was first employed in California. By this means a “giant™ stream of water turned against the side of a mountain washes everything before it. The gold settles to the bottom of the tunnel or sluice through which the gravel, sand and water flow. In 1889 dredges or excavators were first used in Austra- lia. Today steam and electric dredges produce a considerable, portion of the world’s output.—Byron W. Holt in Ev- erybody’s. Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily. Water which is hot of course cannot | freeze until it bas parted with its heat, but water that has been boiled will, other things being equal, freeze sooner than water which has not been boiled. A slight disturbance of water disposes it to freeze more rapidly. and this is the cause which accelerates the freez- ing of boiled water. The water that has been boiled has lost the air natu- rally contained in it., which on ex- posure to the atmosphere it begins again to attract and absorb. During this process of absorption a motion is necessarily produced .among its parti- cles, slight certainly and impercepti- ble, yet probably sufficient to accel- erate its congelation. In unboiled wa- ter this disturbance does not exist. Indeed. water when kept perfectly still can be reduced several degrees helow the freezing point without its becom- ing ice. Gardens In the Ice. A glacier when it dislodges itself and sails away over the Arctic ocean never travels alone. In the wake of every large one floats a line of similar com- panions. The Eskimos call this phe- nomenon ‘‘the duck and ducklings,” and any ome who has watched the progress of the wild duck followed by her brood will appreciate the aptitude of the name. Strange as it may seem, plants grow and blossom upon these great ice mountains, When a glacier is at rest moss attaches itself to it. protecting the ice beneath, just as sawdust does. After a time the moss qdecays and forms a soil, in which the seeds of buttercups and dandelions, brought by the wind, take root and flourish. Those who have traveled much in arctic lands say the poppy does not bloom during the brief north- ern summer, A Bismarck Incident. It used to be the privilege of Aus- tria's representative at any conference of representatives of the German states to smoke. the others refraining. This was supposed to be an acknowl- edgment of Austria’s supremacy. At the first conference that Bismarck attend- ed as Prussia’s representative he be- gan to puff smoke across the confer- ence table as soon as the Austrian dip- lomat lit up. That set everybody pres- ent to smoking on equal terms, and Austria’s supremacy got a blow. A Timely. Warning. “Your dog seems a very Intelligent animal,” remarked an inexperienced sportsman to a gamekeeper. “Yessir,” was the ready response. “Wonderful intelligent ‘e 18! Yes, t'other day ’e bit a gent as only give me a ‘arf sovereign after a day’s shoot!”—London Scraps. Her Dear Friend.

Looks like ever romes right 1f we J; —Mrs. Wiggs. Ready Fer the Next One. A generous and brave but very ec- centric Virginla planter named Hill "Carter. who had once been an officer in the United States navy. bad a hand to hand battle -at fisticuffs one day with his plantation overseer and came off second best. He therefore chal- lenged the overseer to a formal duel. but the latter declined on the ground that, being a busband and father. he was under obligation not to risk leav- g his ftamily destitute. Carter at once removed that objection by set- tling upon the family a comfortable annuity. Then everything was got ready for the ftight. but just as the two men fuced each other the sheriff arrived on the scene, took them into custody and ‘hud them bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Carter did not. however, change the deed of gift with which he had provided for the over- seer’s family, remarking that he might wish some time to resume the inter- rupted tight and hence would rather keep everything in readiness for prompt action.—New York Post. Consul King David. This amusing anecdote of Lamartine is related by the Baroness Boude in her volume of letters. Shortly after the revolution of February he wrote on the blanKk leaves of his pocketbook the names of his proteges and sent the list to be provided with places imme- diately. Previously, however, it seems, he had scribbled “*David” on the page, and the head of the cabiuet appointed the said David consul at Bremen. The postulant, however, never came for- ward, and. though the poet did not like being disturbed, M. Hetzel was oblig- ed to ask who was the David on his list. - “He who danced before the ark,™ was the answer. “Oh, dear! 1 bave gazetted him to Bremen!" “How very singular! 1 meant him for a subject for meditation, not for nomination. But you can cancel it.” The moniteur registered the change, but few knew that the last consul ap- pointed to Bremen was King David! Language of Switzerland. It is a curious fact that the people most celebrated for love of country should in a manner be without a lan- guage—that is, a mother tongue. The Swiss have three official languages— German, French and Italian. About three-fourths of the population of the mountain eonfederation speak Ger- man, while the remainder divide four other languages among them, chiefly French and Italian, these languages being found, as a rule. in districts in close proximity to the countries where- in those languages are the principal tongue. In Switzerland documents and notices are printed in both the French and German languages. In the nation- al assembly wmembers deliver their speeches in either [‘rench or German. for nearly all members understand both tongues. Tle decrees and procla- mations of the president are translated by an official interpreter and furnished to the press in both languages.—New York Press. Her Fault. The teacher in charge of the primary department at a school in West Phila- delphia was talking the other day about ber work and her pupils. “They are dear youngsters,” she sald, “but they sometimes make curious re- marks. Several times I have had oc- casion to reprove a little boy who isn’t bad, but who is very mischievous and annoying. He is always getting into trouble and making a disturbance. “One day he had been more than usually uproarious, and I was very tired. Instead of scolding or punish- ing him 1 began in rather an exasper- ated tone to talk to him. “‘Tom,' I said, 'I'm afraid I'm never going to meet you in heaven. “He looked up with the most shock- ed face. 'Why. teacher.’ he said. ‘isn't that just too bad? WWhat have you done? "—Philadelphia Times. A Modest Request. An impeccably dressed gentleman the other day when walking along Piccadilly felt a movement in his pocket and, clapping his hand thereto, seized the wrist of the thief. Hedrew forth the erring member, and, looking at it with supreme disgust. he released it, saying, with a grimace of disgust. “For heaven’s sake, my good man, go and wash your hands before you put them in a gentleman’s pocket again!’— London Tatler. Made Him Feel Old. “What's the matter?” “Oh, nothing much.” “But you look as if you had some. thing serious on your mind.” “Well, if you insist on knowing, a boy who was named after me has just become engaged to be married. How time flies!”—Chicago Record-Herald. The Dollar Mark. “Have you seen the Washington mon- ument?” “Yes,” replied the New Yorker. “It's a pretty tall building, but what's the good of it without any offices for rent?”’ —Washington Star. ’ Economy. Husbapd—Excuse me, dear, but don’t you cook ‘much more for dinner than we can use?—Wife—Of course! If 1 didn’t how could 1 economize by utiliz- ing leftover dishes?—Cleveland Leader. Not New. i “Electricity iso’t a modern discov- ery. It is as old as the flood.” “How do you make that out?” “Why. didn’t Noah have to have ark || lights?”" Better a blush in the face than a - "blot in' the beart.—Cervantes.
