Jay Gould ouce wanted to build a
short line to a certain place and found
rivals In the field. To Sylvester T.
Smith he gave Imperative orders, "Get
out as big n force ns possible, aud com
plete the r.>d before the other fellows
get wind of It. and we’ll head ’em off.”
Smith reported presently, "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates, bolts nuts and spikes we want,
hut we enn’t get the rails.” "Tele
graph to every mill In the country, and
pay any price,” said Gould. “I have
done so, and there is no chance for a
delivery under 12 mentha.” "Then,”
said the little wizard, “go somewhere
and tear up something. We’ve got
to have rails.” He Indicated the road
to destroy, a branch or feeder of the
Union Fnclflc.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and tho new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
haled Smith to court to answer for
tearing up a railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and bad no excuse, but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do It.
‘‘Who Is Jay Gould?” some asked.
“What has he got to do with It?”
Up rose a young lawyer from New
York to Inform them that Mr. Gould
owned all the bonds of the Union Pa
cific road, though not a dollnr of Its
stock, and that he was absolute pro
prietor of the feeder that Mr. Smith
had torn up. There never was a more
surprised and mystified lot of men.
They had nothing more to say.—Ban

In Slain the liquid measure used Is
derived from a cocoanut shell which
Is capable of holding 830 tamarind
seeds, and 20 of these units equal the
capacity of a wooden bucket. In dry
measure, 830 tamarind seeds make
one "k’anabn,” and 25 "k’suabn” make
one “sat.” or bamboo basket; 80 "sat”
make one “kwien.” or cart Thia is
an example of the primitive origin of

Seed.
There are some seeds which "literal
ly corkscrew themselves Into the
ground.” The most remarkable In
stance Is perhaps that of the 8plna
pennata. a beautiful south European
grass. The actual seed Is small, with
a sharp point and stiff short hairs
pointing backward. The top end of
tlie seed Is produced Into a fine, twist
ed, corkscrewlike rod, which is fol
lowed by a plain cylindrical portion
ending In a long, delicate feather, the
whole being more than a foot in length.
Owing to this fenther the seed falls to
[ the earth polut downward and stick»
I In the ground.
| But even If tho seed should settle on
Its side, damp, by noting on the hairs
attached to It, causes it to rise up till
Its point la downward. If a shower
comes on or dew falls, the spiral un
' winds. elongating Itself upward. Be
! ing covered, like the seed, with back
ward pointing hairs. It usually presses
against some blade c f grass or other
obstacle, with the result that the seed
Is pressed Into the ground.
On the spiral becoming dry again. It
curls up, nnd the seed Is not drawn
out of the ground owing to Its back
ward pointing hairs, hut the spiral and
the feather are easily drawn do wn. On
the return of damp the spiral again un
winds aud, acting as before, drives the
seed still farther down until at last It
Is quite burled.
“In all ages.” said the man who ob-
lerves, “boys have been hoys, aud If
it times their play may smack of bru
tality, at others It Is amusing and even
.“lever. Some years ago nt Harvard
i cart containing bricks broke down in
front of Memorial hall. It being then
late, the driver left It there for the
night The uext morning, securely
resting on the ridge of the roof of
Memorial hall, was that self same load
»f bricks, although how It got there
Is to this day a mystery. The scuttle
to the roof wus far too small to admit
the body of the cart. On tlie other
land, tlie cart was too heavy. It seemed,
to have been pulled up by hand from
the outside, and besides neither wnll
□or roof showed any sign of Its pas
sage. Yet there It was, and there It
remained until nt considerable expense
to pockets nnd temper the college au
thorities liad It removed and Restored
to Its clamoring owner.
“Tho preparatory school to which
I went was In a small country village.
A fire was looked upon as a great
affair and was attended by the stu
dents In n body. Once there our cus
tom was to hurl ribald remarks nnd ad
vice at the varloua firemen by name.
To get even It was their habit, at un
expected moments, to turn the hose
upon us. A few duckings taught us
caution, and we at length were usually
able to scamper away without a wet
ting.
“One bitter winter afternoon we
gathered at n fire and eugnged In our
usual occupation of baiting the fire
men. At length they tried to reach
us with the hose, but having antici
pated the move we were without Its
range. But unnoticed behind us had
been standing the principal of the
school. On his august person the
stream of water descended like an
avenging fate, and liefore the panto
stricken firemen could turu It away he
was w.*t to his respectable skin. The
water froze as It struck, and we were
presently gaxlng upon a human Icicle.
“At length we recovered sufficiently
to go to his aid and, wrapping him
In coats, drove him rapidly to his
home, during which the entire school
shook in Its shoes, while the wretched
firemen were for resigning In a body.
But he was a thorough good fellow,
and beyond a few words as to the
wrong we were doing In Interfering
with a public servant In the discharge
of his duty lie allowed the Incident
to pass by unnoticed.
“The town ball was one of those
hideous and bleak structures so com
mon In the New England towns of 20
years ago, where the only attempt at
decoration was a funereal cupola In the
exact center of the roof, on top of
which was a large figure of Justice.
To the horror of the selectmen the
town awoke one momlug to gaze upon
a transfigured Justice. A light blue
crinoline skirt and red shawl enwrap
ped her figure, and she looked coquet-
lishly out from beneath the shadow
of an Immense poke bonnet. As a
particularly happy thought sho was
weighing two babies In the scales.
"Then came an awful row. The
town hnd no hook and ladder truck,
without the aid of which no one could
be found to remove the garments. The
uearest hook and ladder company was
12 miles distant and required not only
permission of the town council but the
expenditure of ensh to bring It over.
The selectmen declared that as It was
manifestly a trick of the students the
faculty should pny. The faculty firm
ly refused, holding that there was no
proof that such was the case. For
ten days the controversy raged, and
then the selectmen gave way nnd paid
for the hook nnd ladder truck. The
«lay tlie hook nnd ladder conipnuy was
to come a storm sprang up which
lasted for three days. When the god
dess was finally stripped of her cloth
ing. the dyes hnd run, aud she emerg
ed tinted with all the colors of tho
rnlnbow. She hnd to be painted afresh,
the selectmen footing the cost with
sullen faces.
“The secret was successfully kept
ns to how the goddess was decornted.
The night previous to the occurrence
there had been a show In the town
ball. When It wns over, the captain
of the football team nnd two fellow
conspirators hnd sneaked beneath the
baize fronted stage. When all was
quiet, they hnd ascended to the roof.
Once there one end of a long rope had
been attached to the captnln's waist
and the other to that of one of the
others. Tbo third man accompanied
the climber to the base of the figure
with the bundle of clothes. The skirt
and babies were enslly placed, but
I the shawl and bonnet «-nine as harder
work, the figure rocking fearfully on
Its base. The Idea of the rope was
that In case the dresser fell he would
be saved from rolling to rtie ground.
If such an accident hnd happened,
when he bounded from the sloping
sides of the roof he nndoubbxlly would
have carried the football captain to the
ground with him. They didn’t think
of this, however, and It gave them a
greater feeling of aufety.’’—New York
