of the performance. Only then did the

“A strange thing is the effect of elec
trical energy on birds and wild beasts,"
says a telegraph lineman quoted in the
Philadelphia Record. "Woodpeckers
are continually tapping telegraph poles.
In the country you will find every
where poles honeycombed by the
sturdy bills of woodpeckers. The birds
mistake the humming sound inside tlie
poles for the humming of insects, anil
it is to get at these supposed Insects
that they make tlielr perforations.
“Bears, on the other hand, think the
humming comes from bees, nnd they
overturn the stones at the pole's base
In tlielr endeavor to get at the honey.
Wolves are afraid of the sound, A
wolf won't go near n telegraph pole
under any circumstances.”

ward Mrs. IL gave an Informal dinner
to other state officers and tlielr wives,
and Master Ralph was allowed to lie at
tlie table under promise of good be
havior. Things went on smoothly till
the meat course, when a tine roasted
pig was brought in, and Ralph thought

Senator Fessenden once came roaring
at President Lincoln over a question of
patronage. The president listened till
the storm was over, then nsked:
“You are an Episcopalian, aren't you,
Fessenden?”
“Yes, sir; I belong to that church."
"I thought so. You Episcopalians all
swear alike. Seward is an Episcopa

ought to bear him swear.”—“The True

At one time (he officers under Lord
Howe refused to drink hls health nt
their mess, for, though a splendid ad

on account of a certain shyness and
want of tact with those about him.
The chaplain, who was a protege of his
lordship, wns mortified at tlds ami de
termined that the officers should drink
to Ixird Howe, When called upon for
a toast one day he said, "Well, gentle
men, I can think of nothing better nt
this moment than to ask you to drink
the first two words of tlie Third Psalm,
for a Scriptural toast for once may be
taken from one of my cloth.” Tbe
toast was drunk. Not one of the offi

WORK AND REST.

After work comes rest. When they
alternate perfectly ti man may prepare

alternate perfectly a man will enjoy
both the work nnd (lie rest that fol

Nature Is n just old lady. She seldom
gives a man more than he needs. If he
elects to live n lazy life she lets his
muscles get flabby and hls brain go
sleepy. She never p-rmits him to long
possess a faculty or i. nerve or a mus
cle or a sinew that he does not use.
The proper way to keep your muscle»
or your brains Is to use 'em up and let
nature provide you with a fresli sup
ply. Nature Is assisted In tills work by
rest. One may rest sometimes by seek
ing a change of labor. Labor thus be
comes a recreation re-creation.
To live happily In this world it is not
enough to know how to work. A man
must also know how to rest. The man
who knows only how to work will soon
wear out. If lie doesn't wear out liu-
imsllately Lis work will suffer in some
way. No man can do Ids liest work tin
less he alternates it with a little piny
or a little rest.
