Cattleman or Ganibler, fall,” said a well known Montana capitalist, “I was riding on a train in my state and got to be on pretty fair terms with the train boy by buying a few of the things he had to sell. It was not a very formal kind, of a train, and when the boy had finwith me and ‘chin a bit,’ as he said. I was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad and there was nobody else to talk he said, ‘that I can tell by looking at a man mighty near what be is. Now, there's that fellow . over there In the corner; he’s a Chicago drummer. I can tell him by the way he lets his money go and the flip atyle he has when he.talks to people. And that chap over there with the silk hat on; he’s a preacher from a country town, I’m dead sure, and I'll go ask him if you say 80.’ “I didn’t say so because I didn’t care a continental, and the boy went on with his descriptions of the people on the train. At last I asked him what he thought I was., I had on a pretty flashy suit of light stuff and. was thinking I was looking pretty well, so I was willing to risk the boy’ s venture. He looked me over for a full minute very carefully. “ ‘Well,’ he. said at last, ‘you’ve got a sloo of money, but I ain’t dead sure whether you are a cattleman or a 'gambler.’ *"—Washington Star. The Center of the Earth, _ Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly Hquid, is for the most part solid. Some have considered that a section through the earth would show the following: (i) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifiuid envelope, (8). a fluid envelope, (4) a smeifiuid envelope, (5).a solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a reduced temperature only, No.2. from.a pressure and temperature not quite sufficient for liquidation, No, 3 from a temperature sufficiently high to produce complete Hquidation, No. 4 from a pressure so great as to prevent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep’ down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works, and No. 5 from a pressure which overcomes completely the ‘liquefying power even of the maxtimum heat of the interior. This pressure Is estimated to be at the center of the earth 7,180,598,750 : pounds to the square foot, a pressure .30 enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath it. . Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would under such conditions become as bard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum: at the center of the earth, there is a basis of intensely solid matter there.—Pearson’s Weekly. 4 He Wanted a Drink. Some years ago Colonel Crisp was in New York, and being in attendance at @ certain notable political gathering ‘in Madison Square Garden was called upon for a speech. And did he accept? Well, -rather! Running. his fingers through his hair, adjusting his vest and pushing up his coat sleeves, he started in to sprinkle eagle feathers all over the stage. Now, the colonel is a stout:man and has a thirst in proportion. In the course of his passionate harangue he became very warm and asked that some water be-provided. In compliance with the request a diminutive pitcher and dainty little glass were brought and placed before him. Colonel Crisp looked at it intently for a few moments, and then “What is ‘. this?” he thundered. © “W-w-water,” timidly answered one of the vice presidents. “Young man,” bellowed the colonel, his nostrils quivering with suppressed rage, “either bring me a bucket and a gourd or lead me to the branch.”—Kansas City Independent. 7 Complete Extinguishment.

Millionairedom lies abed late— the feminine part especially, to whom “beauty sleep” is an imperative neces— sity. In a great hcuse, whatever the size of the family proper, two or ten, it matters not, a certain number of ‘servants is always requisite to insure the proper conduct of the affairs of the household.

Dr. Meyers, a distinguished physician, recently conducted an autopsy on the body of aman who)-died from yelicw fever. He became infected and dled yesterday. Dr. Durhases, who was also infected, is seriously ill. ‘He Was Behind Her. “How did this happen,” asked the surgeon as he dressed the wound in the cheek, and applied a_ soothing poultice to the damaged eye. “Got hit with a stone,” replied the patient, “Who threw it ” “My—my wife,” answer. , “um: its the first time I knew a woman tohit anything she aimed at, * muttered the surgeon. “She was throwing at ber neighbor’s hens,” explained the sufferer. “I wus behind her.” was the reluctant ‘Mountain Company, Attention!

A Step That Would ald Correct the Ruinous Cramming System. In the October Ladies’ Home Journal Edward Bok takes up the cudgel again against the cramming metbods inflicted on school.children, and urges a step toward a reform of the abuse “that every patent who has a child at school will send a note to the teacher that, under no circumstances whatever will the father and mother permit any home-study by the child. “This may seem to be a very simple thing to do,” he contends, “but often the simplest things are the most effective. If the teachers of this country should, within the next month, receive thousands of notes from parents to the effect pointed out, which they could— and [ can speak for hundreds of teachers when I say they they would gladly. do, so—hand to the heads of their schools, it would practically mean a r3adjustment of the entire system of study. This may be better understood when it is realized that the entire. system of study during scftool hours in many of the schools is so arranged as to allow for some of the work to be done by. the pupils at home. Let this taken-for-granted bome study be gtopbe made. The studies‘at school cannot be increased in number, for already there are too many. The school hours cannot be lengthened becauee the tide has set in to shortenthem. Hence, some studies would have to be thrown out, if, home study were eliminated. Aud this is the result desired.

Cattleman or Ganibler, fall,” said a well known Montana capitalist, “I was riding on a train in my state and got to be on pretty fair terms with the train boy by buying a few of the things he had to sell. It was not a very formal kind, of a train, and when the boy had finwith me and ‘chin a bit,’ as he said. I was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad and there was nobody else to talk he said, ‘that I can tell by looking at a man mighty near what be is. Now, there's that fellow . over there In the corner; he’s a Chicago drummer. I can tell him by the way he lets his money go and the flip atyle he has when he.talks to people. And that chap over there with the silk hat on; he’s a preacher from a country town, I’m dead sure, and I'll go ask him if you say 80.’ “I didn’t say so because I didn’t care a continental, and the boy went on with his descriptions of the people on the train. At last I asked him what he thought I was., I had on a pretty flashy suit of light stuff and. was thinking I was looking pretty well, so I was willing to risk the boy’ s venture. He looked me over for a full minute very carefully. “ ‘Well,’ he. said at last, ‘you’ve got a sloo of money, but I ain’t dead sure whether you are a cattleman or a 'gambler.’ *"—Washington Star. The Center of the Earth, _ Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly Hquid, is for the most part solid. Some have considered that a section through the earth would show the following: (i) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifiuid envelope, (8). a fluid envelope, (4) a smeifiuid envelope, (5).a solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a reduced temperature only, No.2. from.a pressure and temperature not quite sufficient for liquidation, No, 3 from a temperature sufficiently high to produce complete Hquidation, No. 4 from a pressure so great as to prevent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep’ down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works, and No. 5 from a pressure which overcomes completely the ‘liquefying power even of the maxtimum heat of the interior. This pressure Is estimated to be at the center of the earth 7,180,598,750 : pounds to the square foot, a pressure .30 enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath it. . Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would under such conditions become as bard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum: at the center of the earth, there is a basis of intensely solid matter there.—Pearson’s Weekly. 4 He Wanted a Drink. Some years ago Colonel Crisp was in New York, and being in attendance at @ certain notable political gathering ‘in Madison Square Garden was called upon for a speech. And did he accept? Well, -rather! Running. his fingers through his hair, adjusting his vest and pushing up his coat sleeves, he started in to sprinkle eagle feathers all over the stage. Now, the colonel is a stout:man and has a thirst in proportion. In the course of his passionate harangue he became very warm and asked that some water be-provided. In compliance with the request a diminutive pitcher and dainty little glass were brought and placed before him. Colonel Crisp looked at it intently for a few moments, and then “What is ‘. this?” he thundered. © “W-w-water,” timidly answered one of the vice presidents. “Young man,” bellowed the colonel, his nostrils quivering with suppressed rage, “either bring me a bucket and a gourd or lead me to the branch.”—Kansas City Independent. 7 Complete Extinguishment.

A Step That Would ald Correct the Ruinous Cramming System. In the October Ladies’ Home Journal Edward Bok takes up the cudgel again against the cramming metbods inflicted on school.children, and urges a step toward a reform of the abuse “that every patent who has a child at school will send a note to the teacher that, under no circumstances whatever will the father and mother permit any home-study by the child. “This may seem to be a very simple thing to do,” he contends, “but often the simplest things are the most effective. If the teachers of this country should, within the next month, receive thousands of notes from parents to the effect pointed out, which they could— and [ can speak for hundreds of teachers when I say they they would gladly. do, so—hand to the heads of their schools, it would practically mean a r3adjustment of the entire system of study. This may be better understood when it is realized that the entire. system of study during scftool hours in many of the schools is so arranged as to allow for some of the work to be done by. the pupils at home. Let this taken-for-granted bome study be gtopbe made. The studies‘at school cannot be increased in number, for already there are too many. The school hours cannot be lengthened becauee the tide has set in to shortenthem. Hence, some studies would have to be thrown out, if, home study were eliminated. Aud this is the result desired.
