Origin of the “Throe R’s.”
The famous toast to “the three It's—
reading, ’ritlng and •rithmetlc"-was
made by Sir William Curtis, lord may
or of London, in the year 1795 and for
many years one of the wardens of the
tower. What made it more ludicrous
was that be proposed it at a dinner
given by the London board of educa
tion. It was received with great ap
plause and drunk amid much merri
ment. At the time it was recognized
as a Jest, but was afterward taken up
in earnest by the mayor’s detractors,
who have handed his name down to
posterity as a blundering ignoramus.
A writer has now come to his defense
and says that when be was a boy an
aged member of the board of .education
assured him that Sir William knew
better and that he really used his fa
mous alliteration as a Jest. To many
people, however, the story will always
Bound better when It is based upon the
belief that Sir William was really se
rious.
Not the Silent Partner.
“I want to telegraph $25 to Chica
go.” said a mon to the clerk in a Ban
ton telegraph office recently.
“The name, please,” asked th* i*-
celving teller, a good looking young
woman behind the counter, whose age
might have been twenty-five.
"It’s for Mrs. Mary K. Brown, 11*
---- avenue." answered the man.
“Your name, too, please," again ques
tioned the young woman.
“My name Is Henry Brown; I’m th*
other half of the firm," answered th*
mau.
“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
weeks for this $25 than you can imag
ine. She's the noisy partner of the
firm, and she mnkes good with the title
I too.”—Boston Traveler.
A Record Hailstorm.
The Giraffe as It Feeds.
One of the worst hailstorms ever
known in the United States occurred
Sept. 5, 1898. in Nodaway county, Mis
souri. The path of the storm was
about three miles wide and eighteen
miles long, its greatest violence being
felt over a region of four square trlles
east of Clarmont At one point in this
region the fall of hail was so heavy
that a drift unprotected by artificial
means remained lying on the ground
for four weeks after the storm. At the
end of that time people in the neigh
borhood were found gathering the hall
for the purpose of making ice cream.
During the storm cylindrical pieces of
ice were picked up four inches long
by about two and a half in dinmeter.
The growing corn was practically all
destroyed. In a field of eighty acres
only one stalk was left standing.—Chi
cago News.
The singular shape of the giraffe is
adapted to Its habits of life. It feeds
on the young brunches 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 the 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
sometimes 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 nnd overpowers it be
fore it can recover Itself.
A View of Jefferson Davis.
Very straight and tall. thin, with a
clear cut. clean shaven, distinguished
face, with a look half military man.
half student, with a demeanor to all of
perfect if somewhat chilling courtesy;
by temperament a theorist, able with
the ability of the field marshal or the
scholar in the study, not with that of
the reader and master of men, the
hardest of workers, devoted, honor
able. single minded, a figure on which
a fierce light has beaten; a man not
perfect nor always just, bound in the
tolls of bis own personality, but yet
an able man, who suffered and gave
all, believed in himself and in bls
cause and to the height of bls power
labored for it day and night. Such a
man was Jefferson Davis.—Mary John
ston in “The Long Koll.”
Splinters In the Fingers.
When you get a splinter in your fin
ger it is sometimes possible -to get at
It by pressing the |>oint of a needle un
der it, but unless you have deft fin
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 hide it. Then
press down bard enough to separate
the nibs. If you row let the pen down
level with the 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.

“I was going to say,” she rejoined,

Love and the Drama.
A periodical devoted to the drama
pleads for playa based on some «mo
tion other thau love The difficulty In
producing such playa is that every
play must have a hero, and in making
a hero the playwright as well as bls
audience almost inevitably adopts the
view expressed 2.000 years ago by a
scribbler on one of the dead walls of
Pompeii. "He who has never loved a
woman Is not a gentleman.”—Ex-

Thought Concentration.
Professor Elmer Gates performs a
very interesting experiment by im
mersing his hands and arms to the
elbows in separate vessels filled with
water just to the point of overflowing.
By withdrawing his thought absolute
ly from one hand and concentrating it
on the other he so expands the blood
vessels in the latter by sending on 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 the thought from
one baud to the other without chang
ing their positions until the other ves
sel overflows.
Professor Bell, inventor of the tele
phone, said that when driving in the
provinces in extremely cold weather,
when be was in great danger of having
his feet frozen, he was able to send
an extra supply of blood to them by
concentrating his mind upon them and
thus saved himself from a very pain
ful experience.—Nautilus.

Jamaica's Booby Eggs.
Trade in booby eggs is one of the
sights of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago
the British seamen gave the name
“booby” to several of the species of
gannets, because these fowls are re
garded as stupid. The eggs are gath
ered in vast quantities on the islets at
certain seasons of the. year and taken
to Port Antonio by thé boatload. The
arrival of a boat with booby eggs Is
the occasion of no little excitement
•mung 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-tbirds the size of an ordinary
ben's egg and are quite palatable.

The phrase “begging the question,”

the treating of a proposition as a fully
demonstrated fact when it is actually
only a premise or statement brought

Everybody In Middle Bay knew that
Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking
about making a visit to her married
daughter in Cincinnati. She bad been
talking about it for two years, but age
and the natural timidity of a woman
unused to travel had postponed the
great event from month to month un
til the neighbors began to wonder
whether it would ever come to pass.
So one morning, when Uncle Billy
Evans met Captain Liscomb In Eccles’
store, there was a twinkle in bis eye
as be asked:
“When's Mis' Liscomb going out to
Ohio. Daniel?"
“Don't ask me!” returned the cap
tain, a little peevishly. “I don’t know
nothin’ about it. If I tell her to go
she says I want to get rid of her. If
I tell her to stay nt home she says
I’m mean! I ain't sayin’ a single
