He Meant the Bird. A man once received ns a present from a sea captain a fine specimen ot the bird known as the laughing jack ass. As be was carrying it home he met a brawny Irish navvy, who stopped him. “I’bwat kind of burd is that, sorr?' asked the man. ‘•That’s a laughing jackass," explain cd the owner genially. The Irishman, thinking bo was be Ing made fun of. was equal to the occasion and i ,'sponded, with a twinkle of the eye: "It's n t ye 'self; it's the burd 1 mane, sorr!”—London Spare Momeuts.

The Cook’ii Cannonade. The first thing that strikes a landsman on a man-of-war is the rigid discipline observed everywhere. On some of the ships belonging to the tropical countries, however, discipline is very lax. The Defense, a Haitian man-of-war, was lying in the harbor of Port nu Prince. One day a mess cook for some reason cleaned about a peck of knives anil forks on the gun deck. and. being suddenly called away and not wishing to spend time to go to the galley, he seized the mess pot full of knives and forks and stuck it in the muzzle of the ten inch gun. putting the tampion in after it. About an hour afterward the admiral came aboard, and as the gun was loaded with blank cartridge they used it to lire a salute. It happened that the gun was aimed toward the town, and almost point blank at the Grand hotel. The guests assembled on the porch to witness the ceremonies, when they were saluted with a rain of knives and forks, which stuck against the wooden walls like quills on a porcupine. Fortunately no one was hurt, although there were many narrow escapes. How the Mistletoe Comes to Be. The story of how the mistletoe gets on the trees is a most interesting one. Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly white berries. These come in the winter season, when food is comparatively scarce, and hence some of our birds eat them freely. Now. when a robin eats a cherry lie swallows simply the meat and flips the stone away. The seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot flip. It is sticky and holds to his bill. llis only resource is to wipe it oil', and he does so. leaving it sticking to the branches of the tree on which he is sitting at the time. This seed sprouts after a time. and. not finding earth—which, indeed. Its ancestral habit has made it cease wanting—it sinks Its roots into the bark of the tree and hunts there for the pipes that carry the sap. Now. the sap In the bark is the very richest in the tree, far richer than that in the wood, and the mistletoe gets from its host the choicest of food. With a strange foresight it does not throw Its leaves away, as do most parasites, but keeps them to use in winter, when the tree is leafless. — Professor S. C. Schmucker In Ladies’ Home Journal. Value of Education. Once upon a time a crow sat on n high branch of a tree with a large bit of cheese In his mouth when an envl ous and hungry fox came prowling along nnd spied the choice morsel. “You are a beautiful bird.’’ said the cunning fox. “and yet your great beau ty is not equal to your marvelous voice, which charms all of the beasts of the forest Pray. Mrs. Crow, do let me hear you sing.” The crow turned her head to one side, ns is the habit with such birds, and looked at Mr. Fox. Then she deliberately ate the cheese and after clearing her voice spoke. “Thank you for your compliment. Mr. Fox.” she said. "If you will wait a minute. 1 will sing for you. I never speak or sing until after dinner since I have been reading ancient fables.” The fox did not wait, but trotted on his way. Moral.—A literary education Is not without value.—New York Herald. An Unexpected Answer. When it was too late, the barber’s customer discovered that the operator he had selected to manipulate the razor had been indulging In strong drink. But he sank back in bls chair, trusting to luck for a successful shave.

THE HABIT QF GIVING. - - E. D. Morgan’s First Taste lit Real Happiness. To the present generation the name of Governor E. D. Morgan of New York is scarcely more than a dim echo from the pages of history, but there are mon still living who remember him as one of the g'oup of great war governors whose firmness and courage served their ee.'.iitry so magnificently In her darkest hour. It was one who so remembered him who told this incident: Governor Morgan was a very rich man, but until he was seventy years old lie never had given away any ol his wealth. Then one day lie sent for his old friend. Dr. Adams, the president of Union Theological seminary, and told him that lie wished to give a large sum of money to the college. The doctor, almost incredulous at first, was soon convinced of the sincerity of the offer, and a time was set at which he was to go and get the bonds. At the appointed hour the doctor appeared. and bonds to the value of more than $200,000 were put into his banns. The governor stood and watched until the doctor’s carriage was out of sight. Afterward be spoke of it to another friend. “I am an old man,” he said. “1 have had a successful life and done about all that I had planned to do. and 1 supposed that 1 had been happy. But I know now that until 1 stood and watched Dr. Adams drive away with those bonds I never had known what happiness was. I cannot regret too deeply that early in life I did not form the habit of giving."—Youth’s Companion. The Wills of Nosh nnd Jacob. The origin of testaments is lost In obscurity, but doubtless they followed soon after the first institution of private property. Eusebius says that Noah made a will soon after the flood wherein he disposed of the whole world. He was certainly possessed of a considerable landed estate, but Eusebius’ story of the testament in writing and witnessed under his seal needs continuation. In the forty-eighth chapter of Genesis. however, we do find mention of a will, wherein Jacob bequeathed to his son Joseph twice as much as to Ids other children. This was not a testament In writing, but a verbal or nuncupative testament, declared by the testator "In extremis” before witnesses nnd depending upon oral testimony. Such nuncupative testaments were at one time recognized in English law, but in the eighteenth century. Blackstone says, they had fallen into disuse and were hardly ever beard of. Weighing Machines. Weighing machines and scales of some kind were In use 1800 B. C., for it is said that Abraham at that time "weighed out" 400 shekels of silver, current money, with the merchant to Ephron. the Hittite, as payment for a piece of land, including the cave and all the standing timber "in the field and in the fence.” This is said to be the earliest transfer of land of which any record survives and that the payment was made in the presence of witnesses. The original form of the weighing scale was probably a bar suspended from the middle, with a board or shell suspended from each end, one to contain the weight, the other to contain the matter to be weighed. The steelyard was probably so called from the material of which it was made and from its former length. It is also known as the Roman balance and is of great antiquity. Cnnnlni; Siberian Natives. When compelled to travel all night, the Siberian natives always make a practice of stopping just before sunrise and allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They argue that If the dog goes to sleep wliile it is yet dark and wakes up in ar. hour and finds the suu shining be will suppose that lie has had a full , night’s rest and will travel all dny without thinking of being tired. One or even two hours’ stop at any other time is perfectly useless, as the dogs will be uncontrollable from that time forward until they nre permitted to take what they think a full allowance of sleep. Policemen In the Blood. A writer in Knowledge thus denominates certain wandering cells found in the healthy human body which destroy harmful microbes introduced Into the system.
