Here are a few examples: "Mute, Inglorious Milton"-these epi taphs are used by a writer -who was envious of Milton's being poet orient He finds "sermons In stones" express es the same idea as Wordsworth's "the restless stone chat all day long is heard." Calvin was a noted scientist and peer, who died lately. Naples is an Independent state In the north of India. Shakespeare made a mistake In mentioning Galen, who did not live until n hundred years after his time. The feminine of fox is foxhen. John Burns was the name of one of the claimants to the throne of Scotland In the reign of Edward L The pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The three highest mountains in Scotland are Ben Nevis, Ben Lomond and Ben Jonson. Wolsey saved his life by dying on the way from York to London. When the Eng lish first landed in Australia the only four footed animal in the country was a rat Monsoons are fertile gorges be tween the Himalayas. When Bjornson Died. Bjornson's son, in describing the last hours of his father, writes: "Now and then the bright flame of his humor flickered up. The doctor felt his pulse and said it was good. With his face beaming with humor he turned toward us and said, 'I am the first man to die with a good pulse.' He said one even ing-and lt seemed as if an old wise man was speaking with the weight of experience, 'Now I could write-yes, now I could write, for I have been In the realms of death and have felt the pain that attends death.' And when all of us thought that the indifference of death was upon him-my mother, who Always gave him his food, which he would receive, only from her, stood at the bedside with a brooch on her breast which she had worn at her con firmation-then he opened his eyes and looked at uer. He smiled, lifted bis hand and touched the brooch. This was the last sign to the outer world he was able to give." A Cold Ride. All through his life Senator Dolllver of Iowa had a horror of fast trains I and possible railroad wrecks. Once he was on a train with Vice President Fairbanks. Dolllver awoke in the middle of the hight, and it seemed to him that the train was going at terrific speed. He climbed out of his berth and, arrayed only in his pajamas, started down the length of the tram to find the con ductor and ask him to order the train | run at less speed. It was a cold night, but the senator did not mind that until the door of his car snapped shut and locked behind him and be found that the door of the next coach was also locked. He rode sixty-five miles locked out in the cold of the vestibule before he could wake up anybody to let him in. Mr. Fairbanks finally heard his cries for help and rescued him.-New York Tribune. Necks and Legs of Animals. With few exceptions there is a mark ed equality between the length of the necks and of the legs of both birds ai j* quadrupeds, and wh?ther they be lok f" ' or short ls determined chiefly by the place where the animal must go for its food. This is especially noticeable in beasts that feed constantly upon grass, in which case the neck bas just a slight advantage in that it cannot hang perpendicularly down. Croco diles, lizards and fish have practically no necks. Fowls that feed in the water also offer an example of this correspondence between the members, with the exception of swans and geese and some Indian birds, which gather their food from the bottom of pools and must have long necks for that pur pose, while the short legs make it more convenient for them to swim. Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. A Story Pepys Tells. Pepys tells in his diary that in the reign of King Charles II. a customer bargaining with a London merchant for claret hired a confederate to "thun der (which he had the art of doing upon a deal board) and to rain and hail-that is, make the noise of-so as to give them a pretense of undervalu ing their merchant's wines, by saying this thunder ' would spoil and turn them, which was so reasonable to the merchant that he did abate two pis tolls per tun for the wine lu belief of that" A Mighty Difference. Brougham used to tell an anecdote about the flight from Waterloo. Na poleon was greatly depressed. His aid riding beside bim thought he might be sorrowing over the loss of so many old comrades at arms and tried to comfort him by saying that Wellington also must have lost many friends.
