REYNARD'S CUNNING,

Very Few Men Are as Cunning as the Fox | |

When Hunting or Hunted,

No other still hunter can travel go quietly as a fox, and mighty few men are as crafty as the four-legged hunter when it comes to a@ matter of getting meat. Foxes have been seen in England, slip- ping from bush to bush, crawling and creeping after a feeding hare, for all the world like a man stalking a deer. The

fox cannot catch a rabbit in a fair chase, |

its food is mostly rabbits, in of their fleetness. But at no times does it display its skill so well as when run- ning for life with a pack of hounds in its trail.

Lord Willoughby de Broke writes to the |

‘Badminton Magazine’ to tell how a tired fox made straight for a flock of in a pen, ran through them, and end escaped. Olaus Magnus, Upsala, wrote a book

in the

| called ‘‘Histeria de Gentibus Septentrion-

i !

| |

i

alibus,’’ of which an English translation

exists. This book tells of a fox that leaped from back to back of a herd of goats. As the dogs could not follow, the

fox escaped,

A curious trick of English foxes is to jump as high as possible, grasping a tree branch with their teeth, hold on till the hounds have gone on, and then, dropping to the ground, escape. This is Similar to the trick of the American fox, which jumps into a tree and rests on a branch; but American dogs are not such fools as English dogs. They gather

9} around the tree and how! till the hunter

comes,

The Football Hero,

Just as it would be impossible make another story which would so wholly convince the ever critical boby—even if all the novelists in the world were to combine their wits and energies—so it is impossible to suggest the fresh, whole- some flavor, the native unconsciousness, the honest boy barbarism, of ‘‘Tom Brown's School Days’’ to those mortals who have not read it. But to the boy who has in this book lived at Rugby with Tom and ‘‘Scud’’ East, a mention of the landmarks in the careers of those two veritable youngsters is an instant reminder that they have furnished him with his most powerful impressions of things good to Go at school, and the way a self-respecting boy ought to do them. Did any battle description ever exceed in moral enthusiasm, in high loyalty, and reckless bravery, that stupendous football struggle which initiated young Tom in the most sacred rite of schoolboy sports? Was there ever a more undeniable hero than Old Brooke, or one surer of the

to

worship of all boys, young and old? The eareer and downfall of Flashman the bully; that memorable, that Homeric

combat between Tom Brown and Slogger Williams in the defense of weak Arthur; the thrilling race of hare-and-hounds; the treeing of Tom by Veiveteens; and the final cricket match when the hero, having passed through the harassing vicissitudes of successive ‘‘forms,’’ seems to have at- tained the very last glory of nineteen years, a set of whiskers and the captaincy of the school cricket team —these are the memoires to conjure with!—From Thomas Hughes and ‘Tom Brown,’ ’ by Charles D. Lanier, in May Review af Reviews.

Irish Football,

Fevtball in Ireland may he said to con- sist of three parts—Rugbeian, Associa- tionist and Gaelic. The rule of play in these oragnizations has been defined as follows: In Rugby, you kick the ball; in Association, you kick the man if you cannot kick the ball, and in Gaelic you kick the ball if you cannot kick the man. This puts the present procedure and position of the rival devotees into a nutshell. The Associationists are mainly confined to Belfast, where they form a body which it would be as difficult to convict of professionalism as it would be for them to prove that they are ama- teurs.

The Gaels are a free and festive com- munity, who haye their headquarters at Clonturk park, Drumecondra, County Dublin. This park is conveniently situ- ated between Glasnevin grayeyard and the Mater Misericordia hospital A man has been known to pass from the foot- ball field direct ta the hospital, and from the haspital to the cemetery, another ywiatch being then got up to raise funds for the benefit of the next of kin, thus running the risk of killing a few more for the benefit of the deceased.—Rev. F. Marshall.

An Interstate Cellar,

A mincral expert from this city was called into North Georgia to report nper a supposed gold find. He had got wet through and through, and when seated before a rousing fire in the old-fashioned fire-place he asked his host: ‘‘Is it possi- ble to get anything warm to drink?” “I dunno of any bein’ made in this pa’t of Geo'gy, sah. Some over on Sand Moun- tain, I reckon, thirty miles from hyar.’’ The expert thought rightly that the man was afraid he was an informer and suo ceeded in conyincing him: to the eon. trary. ‘‘Wall, mister,’’ said the host, ‘I tol’ yo’ the truth. I don,’ know of none in this pa’t of Geo’gy. Ill sen’ my boy to Tennessee arter some, Sam (to the boy), go to Tennessee an’ get some licker.’’ The boy soon retnrned. ‘‘Thar ain't none thar, pop.’’ ‘‘Go to Alabamy, then.’’ In about ten minutes the boy re: turned with a pitcher filled with braacy. Upon investigation it was Jjearned that the house was in the eerner of three states. with a separate cellar in each.

A War Fpisvue.

President Homer T. Fuller, of Drury College, Springfield, O., has received a letter from a Massachusetts man, who offers a large sum of money for the veri- fication of a war episode. The story is that in the early days of the war a de- tachment of Confederate troops in Mis- souri took about 400 Union soldiers. ‘T'welve of these prisoners were lined up and shot without provocation by the Con- federate officers. Upon hearing of this act the commander of the Federal regiment drafted twelve Confederate prisoners to be shot in retaliation. As the line was being formed, a young man named Will- iam Lear stepped forward, and asked to take the place of one of the condemned men, who was his friend. The request ‘was granted, and Lear was shot in place of his friend. —New York Tribune.

A Dangerous Liquor.

It is announced that the importations for the current fiscal year of that kind of liquor known as vermouth will reach 225,000 gallons, whereas in 1891 only $4,000 gallons were imported. As ver- mouth is used almost exclusively in the preparation of certain kinds of cocktails, these figures furnish a good idea of the growth of the cocktail habit in this coun- try during recent years. In its evil effects the cocktail habit is almost as bad as the opium habit.—Troy Times.

A Weasel’s Hypnotic Powers, es

A London correspondent writes: A friend upon whose word I can rely told me the following: He saw a lark flying above the turnpike road, fluttering some four or five feet above the ground in evi- dent distress. As he looked he saw a weasel in the middle of the road waiting for the bird to come down. This it did, falling helplessly close to the animal, which killed it and carried it away. This incident seems to show that a weasel has some fascination in his eye.

It Unites All Graces, " Love is like the diamond—pure, white. Other graces shine like the precious stones of nature, each with its own hue of briljiance, the diamond uniting all colors with one beautiful and simple white. Love tniting all graces is the fulfilling of the law, the beauty of holi- tiess, the image of God.

Racked with Rheumatism

Unable to Walk, owing to excruciat- Ing pain. After ten years’ terrible torture, Cured by Scott’s Sarsaparilia.

A. H. Christiansen, writing from the Clifton House, Niagara Falls, says: “I owe you more than I can ever pay. For ten years I suffered the tortures of the damned with rheumatism. Father had it before me, and I believe it is an here- ditary disease. My knee joints would get inflamed and if I was out in any “weather” I was sure to be laid up, which to a travelling man is a calamity. In ascore of Canadian tows local doctors treated me, some giving relief, others none. I read that Sarsaparilla was a rheumatic cure, and I asked a druggist for ‘‘a bottle of the best Sarsaparilla on the market.” He gave me Scott's, re- marking that it was an improvement on all others, and that he could honestly recommend it. I hawe taken four bottles, and am as free from pain as a man can hope to be. I was out in arainstorm two cays ago and never felt a twinge. As I said before, to Scott’s Sarsaparilla I owe more than I can ever repay. :

The best remedy for rheumatism, sciatica, and neuralgic pains—all arising from the presence of poison in the blood —is Scott’s Sarsaparilla, a modern con- centrated medicine, prompt in its cura- tive effects. Doses from one half to one teaspoonful. At $1 p*- bottle of your druggist.

TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

The Ancient “ Fiddle Drill” Has Not Yet Leen Displaced by a Modern Invention.

The elaborate carving on the new building of the New York Clearing House Association in Cedar street neces- sitated considerable use of the ‘‘fiddle drill.’” This drill is of peculiar interest inasmuch as it is one of the oldest stone cutting tools in existence. It is said to antedate Greek sculpture, and is in use to-day in about the same form as it was 2,000 years ago. As its name implies its action resembles a fiddle. The drill is of two pieces. In one hand a carver holds the drill stock, which is likea carpenter's brace, except that it is straight instead of having a crank. In the other hand he holds the ‘“‘bow,’’ which is strung with a brass wire and which is often given a turn around the drill stock,

To use the drill the carver places the drill stock against his breast, holding it with his left hand, and with his right he draws the bow back and forth, fiddle fashion. This imparts a rotary motion to the drill stock, and the drill is ground to cut in either way it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the finest work, in crev- ices where the sculptor could not reach with his chisel and hammer without en- dangering the carving. About the first thing an ingenious Yankee would say on | seeing the ‘‘fiddle drill’ work would be: | Why couldn’t a power drill of some sort be used for that kind of work? Some- thing like a dentist’s drill? But carvers say that pneumatic drills and various other types of stone cutting tools have been tried but none fonnd able to super- sede the ‘‘fiddle.’’

He's So Obliging.

“*T can’t make out how it is that Jim Johnson always gets such good places,’’ said Harry Smith,the carpenter’s son, to another boy, as they were returning home one afternoon.

And Harry was not the only one who thought thus, for Jim’s luck was the talk of the neighborhood. Jim wes cer- tainly no pattern of cleverness, or beau- ty, or strength; he could not do more than others nor could he do it so well as many; but for all that, it was quite true he always had good places, good wages, and a good character.

When he ieft one employer to go to another, it was generally said: ‘‘I would not part with him if I conld help it; he is a good boy, and so obliging.’’

This was the secret of his good luck— he was ‘‘so obliging.’’ Did the merchant or the wagoner want an errand boy, or did any one want a job done at a mo- ment’s notice, it was only to get a sight of Jim, and it was as good as done; for Jim would hurry threugh his own busi- ness in order to help

When he was at home wood box full of wood, and his never had to ask him to bring in a bucket of water, and many other little things did he do ina cheerful manner, so that he was a great favorite. And if he saw younger boys in trouble he would try to help them out; and he put on his shoes, after having taken them off, one pouring, rainy night, to walk two miles to the town for a parcel containing a new gown the carrier had neglected to | bring to the kitchen girl, who was crying her eyes out because she could not have it to wear next morning at ker sister’s wedding. But it was not so much what Jim did as how he did it, that was 680 agreeable.—Outr Companion.

Many Old Spellings Positively Misleading --Ilave Grown Up Haphazard,

That should anxious for a fixed spelling is intelligible, and one can easily sympathize with their difficulties when dealing with words which may be spelled in more than one way. Neverthe- less, the poposal recently made that all these doubtful spellings should be de- termined met with nrost vigorous from men of letters and students of English language. Scholars like Prof. Skeat strongly object to any attempt to further fix a system of which can not be defended on any rational or scientific grounds,

To a great many people, who as girls and boys were taught to regard correct speHing as alomst more important than correct speaking, this questioning of the whole base of our orthography will come with a shock of surprise. It needs, how ever, only a little careful reflection to @hable one to realize that the scholars are

spelling

Wht. The popular notion that our speaking indicates the etymology of words, and that this is a task which

spelling ought to perform, will not bear serious examination. All that our spell- ing really does is to retain archaic forms of words which are now in use witha changed pronunciation. But these forms were themselves changes from something that had gone before, and if we consider the profound antiquity of the language it is easy to undestand that the assist- ance which philologists can get from an Elizabethan Georgian spelling is practically worthless.

As amatter of fact, however, many of these older spellings are positively mis- leading. In the last century, for ex- ample, our ancestors spelled lantern, lanthorn, not because they so pronounced it, but ingenious person thought that the sides of a lantern had originally been made of horn, and that the name had thus arisen. The word, of course, comes from the French lanterne. This particular instance of pedantic folly the present generation has dropped, but we have preserved many others. We still, for example, have rhyme, as if the word were connected to rhythm, while, in fact,

it is nothing but the French rime. Could is another absurdity. The word never is and never has been pronounced with an L Its old English or Anglo-

forms are coud and couthe, and the 1 has crept into the modern spelling solely from false analogy with would and should. Yet a girl who left out this un- historic and unaccurate 1 in an examina- tion paper would probably be ridiculed. In other cases modern spelling, though not absolutely inaccurate, is still mis- leading. The word debt is a case in point. Here the insertion of the silent b obscures the fact that the word comes to us through the French dette, and not direct from the Latin. Our French neigh- bors, by the way, have little more reason to be content with their spelling than we have, though our blunders are not always identical. We, for instance, spell marriage with two r’s, and they, more correctly, with one; but, in revenge, we have only one t in literature, while they have two. The truth of the whole matter is that spelling, like most of our other institutions, has grown up entirely haphazard, ignorance pluying at least as great a part in its formation as learninz.

A Look at Lord Salisbury, Personally Lord Salisbury is a deeply read and cultured man. He spends a good deal of timein his laboratory, is very fond of chemistry, possesses much prac-

tical knowledge of electricity, and has delivered more than one able address be- fore such bodies as the British Associa-

tion for the Advancement of Science. He is not physically as strong as he looks, and the iminense volume of work he ac- complishes, coupled with very little ex- ercise, makes him in reality a somewhat delicate man. In appearance he is im- pressive without being handsome, and his ordinary demeanor is one of apparent indifference and aristocratic hauteur. Like himself in character, his oratory is imperious, forcible and effective. At his famous in Hertfordshire—Hatfield House—Queen Victoria has been more than once entertained by Lord Salisbury, as in a past century his enter- tained Queen Elizabeth, he

thoroughly enjoys, whether in or out of power, the generous ceuntry life and open hospitality of the historical and

typical ‘‘fine old English gentleman.’’ Taken altogether the present British Premier is an extraordinary and inter- esting figure in the polities of this period. His patriotism is strong and sincere, but it rests upon forms of the Con- stitution and upon loyalty to the Crown rather than upon the modern principle of loyalty to the immediate and change

the

able will of a popular democracy. And Lord Salisbury in this case undoubtedly embodies the natural, hereditary and inherent conservatism of the English

people. For that reason and none other he to-day controls, for good or ill, for

atness or weakness, the destinies of the British Empire.
