Bad Habit to Cultivate.
The habit of dissipating every seri

able sensations Is as fatal to happi
ness as to virtue; for when amuse

jects of moral and mental Interest,
we lose all that elevates our enjoy

pleasures. Anna Maria Porter.
pound of lead or a pound of feathers?"
Is not quite such a joke as It seems at
first glance. Archimedes taught us the
truth that a body Immersed In a liquid
or gas receives an upward push equal
to the weight of the liquid or the gas It
displaces. Suppose we arrange a bal
ance so that one of its arms can be
Introduced under the bell of an air
pump, and place upon each of Its arms
a weight, say one pound, both weights
made of the same size. They will ex
actly balance each other. If we ex
haust the air from under the bell, pro
ducing a vacuum, we remove the up
ward push, and the arm of the balance
that is in the vacuum descends. If
on the contrary we compress the air
under the bell we make the displaced
air weigh more and consequently the
upward push is Increased and this arm
of the balance ascends.
It Is manifest that the greater
amount of air displaced the greater
will be the upward push. Suppose now
we balance a pound of lead on one arm
and a pound of feathers on the other.
They will, of course, exactly equal
each other in ordinary air, for they
were both weighed in ordinary air.
Now let us put the whole apparatus,
Including both weights, under an air
pump. The pound of feathers dis
places far more air than the pound of

To make wood fireproof, slake a

again and apply while hot. Two or

Where He Came In.
A witty barrister, says an EngllBh
paper, who did not object to a joke at
his own expense, was asked, on re
turning from circuit, how he had got
on. "Well," was the reply, "I saved
the lives of two or three prisoners."
"Then you defended them for mur

prosecuted them for It."

Feathers Were Weighed In a
Vacuum.
lead, and if we exhaust the air we
shall find that, the upward push be
ing removed by the exhaustion of the
air, the pound of feathers descends
and the pound of lead ascends, prov

pound of feathers weighs more than a
pound of lead, is no joke but a scien

8hoots Deer With Opium.
John Benham, a well-known Wiscon
sin guide, who had been commissioned
to capture a huge deer alive for a pri
vate game preserve near Hurley, Wis.,
has captured the biggest deer ever
taken alive In that state a six-prong,
300-pound buck by the simple expedi
ent of using opium pellets Instead of
the usual lead bullets In hunting. Ben
ham had a druggist make him the shot
he wanted a mixture of gum arable,
flour paste and opium. Then he went
to watch for the deer, which all of
the guides had, because of its size,
refused to allow hunters to kill. When
he saw the big fellow he cut loose
with his gun, and he caught up with
the deer two hours later, when it had
fallen asleep in some balsams. When
the deer woke up it had been boxed.

Mink Gets Big Trout.
While crossing the bridge over the
creek near H. P. Johnson's sawmill at
Bethany, Wayne county, New York,
George Bennett saw a mink dive
through the ice and catch a large
trout. Bennett called to Monroe Tyler,
at the mill, and the two men pelted
the mink with stones in an attempt to
capture him.
Bennett's dog assisted by chasing
the mink to his hole, from which the
two men dug him with pickaxes. When
the mink was finally killed he still re
tained the trout, which measured 14
Inches In length, In his mouth.
Ferocious Duck Nips Tramp,
