The thirty acres of this great ceme(Abney Park) include the site of another large old house and its grounds, Fleetwood House, once the residence of General Fleetwood and his wife, who was Bridget, the daughter of Oliver Cromwell. This sight is to the right of the avenue, and there one summer day, among older and plainer tombstones than those of the Abney, or opposite, side, I saw men mowing the long grass and presently came upon a mound inclosed with an iron rail. The mound itself was covered with ivy, but trimmed so that one could read on a red granite slab the words, "This mound was a favorite retirement of the late Isaac Watts, D. D." Tradition says he loved that mound because from it he could see the open country. It is now hemmed in by houses, but the mound is still solitary. Another tradition tells of a rumor cursoon after Cromwell's death to the effect that the Protector's body was not in the coffin that was buried with regal pomp in the abbey, but had been secretly brought down to his daughter's house and laid to rest where now is the mound-Christian World. How He Knew. There is a very forgetful girl in Denliving up on Washington street. Fearing a young man who called on her last week would stay too long she set the clock in the parlor half an hour ahead. She was tired, having been out horseback riding that day, and wanted to get to bed early. The scheme worked. But then she forgot to turn the clock back and. having numerous young men friends, she also very careforgot which one it was. Last night the The clock young man called again, was still fast and he noticed it. "That clock is wrong, isn't it?" he asked. "Yes," she replied. "I set it ahead so a fellow who called Wednesday night would go home in time to let me get some sleep." "The clock fooled him all right," said the caller quietly. 'How do you know?" she asked. he young man smile a sickly smile. "I called Wednesday night." The girl coughed. "We're having so much trouble in getting a hired girl." she said. "Does your mother ever have difficulty securia good help?"-Denver Post

LIVING ON AN ACRE.

How It Would Help the Man of Family and Little Money. A family, with a modest house surby an acre of good soil, even where the work has to be performed by members of the family who are ocduring the long hours of the day at various occupations, will pro duce almost everything used in the family. An acre of ground thoroughly well cultivated, with a little chicken yard as an adjunct, will reduce in a very material way the expenses of the family. Of course acre lots are impossible inof the city limits or even very close to the city limits. The person seeking so large a lot must go to a considerable distance from the busicenter, but the extension of eleclines enables even working people to live at a considerable distance from their place of employment. A man who earns $2.50 to twice that sum a day and who has a family consisting of a number of children often finds some in bringing them up properly and giving them the kind of an educahe would wish. Such an investment as this, saving rent of say $20 a month and yielding eggs and all kinds of vegetables as well ns considerable of the fruit that goes to make up th daily ration of each member of the family, will make his struggle in life much lighter. A man who has such a stake in the country will be in every way a better citizen than the one who spends his week's earnings as soon as they come into his hand, if not a week before they are earned. Varied occupation exceeds all other processes in drawing out whatever of ability a man possesses. Here lies the advantage to the community-one suto all economic gain-of the subacre lot for the home of the city wage earner. The cultivation of that acre in alternation with his other emwill bring him intellectual and spiritual enlargement, while it gives him a healthier body and wholesurroundings in which to bring up his family.-Maxwell's Talisman. THE GROWTH OF TROUT. Age, Food and Temperature Seem to Have No Bearing on Size. The Salvelinus fontinalis, which is currently but inaccurately called brook trout, was supposed for many years to be a small fish. Agassiz was largely instrumental in exploding this fallacy. It is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get a six or seven pound trout of this variety. It Is known that a trout may grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There is, however, great difficulty in accounting for its variation in size. In northeastern Canada there are large streams and lakes in which only fingerlings have ever been found. In the immediate vicinity of such waters three and four pound trout are quite common and seven and eight pounders are not phenomenal. In all these wacrustacea do not abound; there are no small fish of any kind except small trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders. At some places, it is true, frogs abound, but taken as a whole the difference in food supply is not an adequate exfor the difference in growth. There is no substantial difference in the waters as to temperature, size, origin and course. Climatic conditions are the same. The small trout taken to virgin lakes in which there are no fish have sometimes grown to a great size, have sometimes remained small and sometimes have not thriven. The anglers who haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explanaof this peculiar condition of things. It is one of the mysteries which lends fascination to the art. "You never can tell what is going to happen when you go fishing."-St. Paul Dispatch. Long Words or Short Which shall we prefer in speech and writing? Almost everybody will vote for the short word, and almost everywill be voting for the best canThe short words are usually the strong words. They make up in muscle and liveliness what they lack in size, says the Manchester Union. And they are readily in the eyes of men who have thoughts that they wish to lodge in other minds. A man who should run out into the street and yell 'Conflagration! Conflagration! Conwhen his house was burnwould be thought to be making a jest of the affair. And so in all matwhere ideas are to be handed out quickly and clearly-the short word has first choice. Cockfighting Among the Greeks. The sport of cockfighting seems to have originated with Themistocles of Greece. When he was leading an army against the Persians he noted two cocks in a desperate battle. To stimthe courage of his soldiers he pointed out the bravery of birds, and, having won his battle with the Perhe ordered that an annual cockshould be held to celebrate his victory. In England the records show that the first cockfight took place in What He Meant. "Don't forget to visit the mystery show while you are in Europe."

TRICKS OF ORATORY

DEVICES USED BY NOTED SPEAKERS TO GAIN A POINT. The Effect Demosthenes Attained by Mispronouncing His Words-The Trap Into Which the Eloquent CurDrew a Witness. One wonders of Demosthenes whethor he ever in after years resumed of set purpose that habit of stammering which he had taken such heroic means to eradicate. A stammer is a most effective trick sometimes, and we know that Alcibiades found his lisp by no means the least useful of his many winning ways. The trick in oratory combines both the conventional meanings of the word. habit, sometimes It is sometimes a will, sometimes both. Addison tells a capital story of a trick in forensic oratory. At Westminhall "there was a counselor who never pleaded without a piece of packin his hand, which tie used to twist about a thumb or finger all the while he was speaking. The wags of those days called it 'the thread of his discourse.' for be was not able to utter a word without it," as a foolish client proved once to his own cost, for he stole the thread, and his advocate came to utter grief. Another clever sort of trick, the "taking dodge the verna interestin naturally ." to borrow a phrase from ular, is the more generally . The classic instance which occurs to every one is Burke's famous '"dagger scene" in the house of commons when he emphahis peroration regarding the reign of terror in France by dramaticthrowing a dagger on the floor of the house as an example of the methof the apostles of liberty, equality and fraternity. One of the tricks credited to Sheriwas very much on the lines of a famous "score" of classic times. A member whose admiration for the brilstatesman was not tempered with discretion greatly annoyed Sheridan by continually ejaculating, "Hear, hear!" without rhyme or reason. Sherdetermined to give him a lesson. At the close of one of his speeches, deof some individual, he used the words, "Where shall we find a more foolish knave or a more knavish fool than he?" "Hear, hear!" came as usual from the troublesome enthusiast. Sheridan bowed, thanked him for so obligingly supplying the required information and resumed his seat. And long centuries before Demosinveighing against an opponent who was suspected of receiving subsifrom the court of Persia, passionasked the crowded audience, "Is he not Misthotos-a hireling?" But as though inadvertently he mispronounced the words so obviously that the audishouted out corrections from all points-"Misthotos! Misthotos!" the efof which was to make the citizens themselves apply the opprobrious epiNot very dissimilar in character is one of the many tricks attributed to Curran. He was engaged on a case wherein the principal witness on the other side was a gentleman of position whose evidence, if accepted, would be conclusive. In his opening speech Cur ran inveighed with all the bitterness and eloquence in his power against the chief witness for the other side, but without actually mentioning his name. When the time came for the witness-a Mr. Leger-to be sworn Cur ran interposed in the blandest way that this was surely a needless formal ity. Mr. Leger's character was such that he felt sure the jury would accept his simple assertion. The unfortunate man fell into the trap. "I am glad, Mr. Curran, you have a better opinion of me now than when you first spoke." "Yon admit, then, sir, that, though I named no names, you recognized my description as applying to yourself?" Another of Curran's oratorical tricks is not unlike one Sheridan perpetrated on the house. In this case the last speaker, it will be remembered, had wound up his speech with a classical quotation, which, to judge from the plandits it received, made a most ef fective point. Sheridan in his reply regretted the honorable member had not completed the quotation. He would do so himself, and the house would then see how fatal to the contention of the honorable member was the authority he had cited, whereupon Sheridan with magnificent dramatic effect recited a sonorous piece of gibberish! And the house applauded vigorously Curran's trick was at the expense of a preternaturally stupid jury. The judge happened to be a consummate classical scholar and, knowing Curran to be the same, was naturally astound ed on hearing him quote a piece of Lat in as coming from the Phantasmagoria of the historian Hesiod! "You mean Latin poet, Mr. Curran. Hesiod was a Greek, a poet and not a historian, and I doubt whether he ever wrote a work called the Phantasmagoria. The lines are Juvenal's." "Hesiod, my lord, I as sure you. and Greek, not Latin." "You must be out of your senses, Mr. Cur ran, or think I am out of mine. The linea are Latin." "Well, my lord, I can only suggest that we leave it as an is sue for the jury, and I'll be bound they will find it-Greek." The trick was perfectly effectual.-London Globe. A Chesterfield Retort. hen Lord Chesterfield was in his last illness and his death was only matter of a few weeks, his physician advised him to go for an easy drive in his carriage, and he went out. As the equipage was proceeding slowly along it was met by a lady, who remarked pleasantly to the great invalid. "Ah, my lord, I am glad to see you able to drive out.'" "I am not driving out madam,"' answered Chesterfield. "I am simply rehearsing my funeral."
