A Cartain Silver Sixpence,

days ago 'was springing over kM*
and table.’ and was buried yeatavfeff.
During her life she was a Itvp ND
man. who did not easily mistake M
X for a U. For that reason tiay-
body can tell the extent of my sorrow;
so young and so merry, and M*
buried. What la human Ufe? I tear*

past few days, and also yesterday *B

shall certainly never, never find again,
and therefore my sorrow la a righteous
one. I wish that heaven preserves any
man frpm a similar sad fate, and
thanks for tbe flowers, as well as tbe
Herr Cnntor. tbe music master of the
choir, for tbe grave hymn, which went
through and through me, but was very
well sung. Ackerman, Master Loeb-

Origin of the "Three R’s."
file famous toast to “tbe three R's—
¡ding, ’ritlng and ’rithmetie”—was
gle by Sir William Curtis, lord may-
of London, in the year 1795 and for
iny years one of the wardens of tbe
her. What made It more ludicrous
is that be proposed It at a dinner
ieu by the London board of educa
te It was received with great ap-
luse and drunk amid much merri-
tt. At the time It was recognized
a Jest, but was afterward taken up
tarnest by the mayor’s detractors,

Ki member of tbe board of .education

pple, however, the story will always
Ind better when It is based upon tbe
lief that Sir William was really se-
The Giraffe as It Feeds.
The singular shape of the giraffe Is
adapted to Its habits of life. It feeds
on the young branches and top shoots
of the trees, and Its long fore legs and
neck enable it to browse at a far great
er height than any other animal, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. In feeding
It stretches up its neck and with its
long prehensile tongue, which It can
protrude to a surprising distance,
hooks down tbe tender shoots and
leaves Into Its mouth. But the crea
ture’s peculiar form, though enabling
It to feed on what it likes best. Is
some:imes the cause of Its destruction.
The fore legs are so long that to reach
the ground It has to stretch them wide
apart and bend down Its neck In a
semicircle, and while drinking in this
defenseless attitude the lion or leopard
springs upon it and overpowers it be
fore it can recover itself.
>ne of tbe worst hailstorms ever

Not the Silent Partner.
“I want to telegraph *25 to Chten*
go,” said a man to the clerk In a Bos
ton telegraph office recently.
“The name, please,” asked the re
ceiving teller, a good looking young
woman behind tbe counter, whose age
might have been twenty-five.
“It’s for Mrs. Mary K. Brown, in
---- avenue,” answered the man.
“Your name, too, please," again ques
tioned the young woman.
"My name is Henry Brown; I'm tbe
other half of the firm,” answered the
man.
“The money goes to the silent part
ner. eh?” good naturedly remarked the
young woman.
i “Not on your life she isn't!” answer
ed the man. “Nothing silent about her.
She's made more noise for the last two

Thought Concentration.
Professor Elmer Gates performs a
eery Interesting experiment by Im
mersing his bands and arms to the
elbows in separate vessels filled with
water Just to tbe point of overflowing.
By withdrawing his thought absolute
ly from one hand and concentrating It
on the other be so expands the blood
vessels In the latter by sending an ex
tra supply of blood to it that the wa
ter in the vessel In which it Is over
flows quite perceptibly. To further
prove this power of thought concentra
tion he transfers tbe thought from
one hand to the other without chang
ing their positions until tbe other ves
sel overflows.
Professor Bell, Inventor of the tele
phone, said that when driving in tbe
provinces In extremely cold weather,
when be was In great danger of having
his feet froeen. he was able to send
an extra supply of blood to them by
concentrating his mind U|>on them and
thus saved himself *rom a very pain
ful experience.—Nautilus.
When you get a splinter in your fin
ger it Is sometimes possible to get at
It by pressing the i>olnt of a needle un
der It, but unless you have deft flu-
gers or a pair of tweezers 'you may
not be able to pull It out even then. A
new i>en nib Is a very good substitute
for a pair of tweezers. Lay the nib
over the splinter so as to bide it. Then
press down hard enough to separate
the nibs. If you now let the pen down
level with tbe splinter and allow the
nibs to close again they will take hold,
and you can draw the splinter out.
Remember that any metal thing that
is to be applied to a wound, such as a
needle, penknife or pen. should be
passed lightly through a flame first, so
as to disinfect it. A gas jet or a match
will do.—New York Sun.
Love and the Drama.
Trade in booby eggs is one of the
sights of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago
the British seamen gave tbe name
“booby” to several of the species of
gannets, because these fowls are re
garded as stupid. Tbe eggs are gath
ered in vast quantities on the Islets ut
certain seasons of the. year and takeu
to Port Antonio by thé boatload. The
arrival of a boat with booby eggs Is I
the occasion of no little excitement I
among the negro women, who buy
them by the box and then sell them by
retail chiefly In Kingston, though they
are also sold In other towns on the is
land. Though sold mostly by the doz
en to housekeepers, booby eggs are also
peddled, bard boiled, on the streets of
Kingston, salt and pepper being pro
vided that the purchasers may eat the
eggs at once. These eggs are about
two-thirds tbe size of an ordinary
ben's egg and are quite palatable.
