tumorous department. Saving the Train. The usual crowd was gathered together in the bar parlor, occupying all i the best seats, when a little weazenfaced man sneaked in by the back door and slunk into a dark corner. , "That's him," said the ungrammatical loafer. "Who is it?" asked several at once. "Why, the chap who saved the train ( from being wrecked," was the reply. "Come, tell us all about it," they demanded, as the small man crouched in the darkness, as if unwilling that his heroic deed should be brought out under the glare of the gaslight. After much persuasion, he commenced: * - K la "H was JUSt SUCJl a mgni no uuo? bright and clear, and I was going'home down the line, when right before me, across the line, lay a great beam. There it was, paJe and ghastly, as a lifeless body, and, light as it appeared, I could not move it. A sudden rumble and roar told me that the express was approaching, and soon would reach the fatal spot. Nearer and nearer It came, till, just as the train was upon me, I sprang aside, placed myself between the obstruction and the track, ahd the train flew on unharmed." The silence was so dense you could have heard a dewdrop fall. Presently, some one said: "What did you do with the beam?" "I didn't touch it," the small man replied. "Well," persisted the questioner. 'If you couldn't lift it and did not touch it, how did the train get over it?" "Why, don't you see," said the weazened one, as he arose from his seat and sidled toward the door, "the obstruction was a moonbeam, and I Jumped so that the shadow of my body took its place, and?" But, luckily for him, he was outside. ' -Tit-Bits. Si'pkitlative Bkauty.?A Swedish newspaper recently invited its readers to state in a few words what they considered the mose beautiful thing in the world. The first prize was carried off by an anonymous answer, "The eyes of my mother." More imaginative was the reader who won the next prize by suggesting, "The dream of that which, we know to be Impossible.' The most amusing answer was that , which read, "The most beautiful thing , in the world is to see a man carrying , his mother-in-law across a dangerous river without making any attempt to arop ner in. CouuVt Discharge Hiim.?When the jury had filed In for at least the fourth time, with no sign of coming to an ( agreement In the bribery case. Ihe dls- , Ngusted judge rose up and said, "I dls- j charge this Jury!" At this one sensitive talesman, stung ] to the quick by this abrupt and ill ( sounding decision, obstinately faced the judge. I "You can't discharge me, judge!" he ( retorted. I "Why not?" asked the astonished , judge. | "Because," announced the talesman, pointing to the defendant's lawyer, , "I'm being paid by that man there!"? , Llppincott's. ] Tiukeid thb Tables.?A good story ( is told of two Oxford undergraduates ( touring the east, who entered the shop i of a Jew whose knowledge of English, though he spoke most other tongues, j was limited. With the customary care- , lessness of the Anglo-Saxon race when j abroad, one undergraduate remarked ( to the other, on failing to make the , Jew understand what he wanted, "the , fool does not speak English!" i This remark came within the radius , of the old Jew's comprehension and ( drew from him the following ques- ? Hons:? "Do you spik Italian?" to which they | replied: I "No." , "Do you splk Grik?" i No." , "Do you 9plk Turk?" I "No." ( 'Do you spik Spanish?" I "NO." , "Do you spik Russian?" ] "No." , After a pause the old man. with con- , slderable energy, ejaculated: "Me one j times fool, you five times fool!" to the j complete discomfiture of the young Englishmen.?Tit-Bits. , What They Axil Say.?"I can't keep i the visitors from coming up," said the ! office boy, dejectedly. "When I say < you're out they don't believe me. They < say they must see you." "Well," said the editor, "Just tell them that's what they all say. I don't i care if you cheek them, but I must have quietness." That afternoon there called at the office a lady with hard features and an acid expression. She wanted to see ( the editor, and the boy assured him i that it was Impossible. "But I must see him!" she protested. "I'm his wife!" "That's what they all say," replied the boy. That is why he found himself on the floor, with the lady sitting on his neck and smacking his head with a ruler, and that Is why there is a new boy wanted there.?Answers. A New Disease.?Young Featherhead, soon after purchasing his elegant new tourlnsr car. was taken with a swelling on the back of his neck. He went and consulted his physician about it. "Doctor," he said, "are there such things as autqmobile diseases?" "It is not unlikely," was the doctor's response. "At least, autoniobiling may develop tendencies to disease that lie dormant under ordinary conditions." "Well, I wish you woull look at the spot on the back of my neck and tell me if the excessive use of my motor car has anything to do with it." The doctor complied. "H'm!" he said, gravely. "That looks as if it might be either a car-buncle or an automo-bile."?Youth's Companion. The Flsher and His Pues.?Donald McTavish, an adept at angling after the "saumon" on Deeside, dissatisfied with the lures for the royal fish he could beg or buy, began to dress his own fly hooks.

"It's a' that," answered Donald. ; "An*, can ye put them up gey nat'r- < al?" inquired Sandy.

Lord Kelvin, who died last Tuesday 1 at Glasgow, has been regarded as the 1 world's most distinguished scientist for forty years. Although a mnster in ' many departments of physics and 1 chemistry, his successes In telegraphy, particularly marine or cable teiegra- 1 phy, probably have brought him the ' greatest renown. Lord Kelvin's name forever will be 1 linked with the laying of the Atlantic ' cables, not only the original cables, but several others which were sunk during the ten or fifteen years following the initial -experiment. When the problem of ocean telegraphy was first presented ' to the world there were few scientists who looked upon it as solvable. . Most of them, indeed, scoffed at the idea and 1 said it was visiona.-y. Lord Kelvin was then a young man. He was at that time plain William Tnomson. ne ?u? born In Belfast, Ireland, In 1824. and in 1 1855, when the discussion about connecting the two continents with a metal wire was hottest, he was only 31 years of age. But young Thomson's training had fitted him well for the work that was ahead of him. As early as 1842 he had published important papers on heat, ; electricity and mathematics. In 1846 1 he was elected professor of natural 1 philosophy in the University of Glascow. Thomson, later known as Lord Kelvin, was then only 22 years old and was hailed as the most precocious and | promising savant of the day. The dynamical theory of heat early engaged the attention of Thomson, and in the late '40s and early '50s he wrote freely about it. In 1855 he published a 1 paper on "Electron-dynamic Qualities of ( Metal," and it was while engaged in experimental work in this field that he 1 was brought face to face with the mysteries of communication by electric wires. 1 There was no scientist capable of mastering this problem, or, at least, none had the courage to announce him- ' self until the young Irishman, who always, by the way, has been famed by the Scotch, modestly stepped for- I ward and agreed to try. He invented various instruments which the direct- ' ors of the Atlantic Cable company per- : suaded him to patent. This Thomson did against his will. "I would prefer," he said, "that the world should reap the benefit of these little instruments without any bar or hindrance." On the advice of his friends, however, he secured the necessary patents, < among which was one for the mirror galvanometer, first used in connection I with the 1858 cable. In 1867 the siphon 1 recorded was Invented and patented. 1 On the successful completion of the ' Atlantic cable in 1866 Thomson was '> knighted. He had made the trip on the famous Great Eastern, and returning < home with fresh laurels, he was made i a knight by the hand of the lord lieu- ' tenant of Ireland. During the gala days following his 1 achievements in marine telegraphy he 1 was feted and banqueted frequently. < His feelings in respect to the search ' for the hidden secrets of science were < clearly indicated at one of these func- < tlons, a banquet by the Lord Mayor of' ' London. 1 "My only object in these remarks," he said simply, "is to point out that 1 science to be true to itself, must be 1 followed for its own sake, and that all ' the most important services it has < rendered to mankind have been the < result of arduous investigations, car- 1 ried on by men animated with the hope 1 >f no other reward than that which ' awaits every sincere and Industrious < student of nature." i Some of his inventions were so far In advance of his day that his col- < leagues refused to credit his announce- I ments and had to be convinced by the < works themselves. When Lord Kelvin 1 first submitted his model of the im- < proved compass to Sir George Airey < of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, i Sir George regretfully informed him ] that "the thing will not do." Lord I Kelvin replied that he knew better, i and today the shipping of the world is l steered largely by "Thomson's com- < pass," just as the cables of the world are ruled by "Thomson's law." < Lord Kelvin was showered with hon- i ors by all nations. He was president I of the International Niagara commis- l sion, and has visited America often. A < few years ago he inspected the Schen- 1 ectady works of the General Electric I company, and showed special interest i In some new cars Demg equippeu im the South Side Elevated road of Chi- 1 cago. . i One of Lord Kelvin's best friends Is 1 King Edward. For many years as the ) Prince of Wales his majesty and Kel- 1 vin were intimates, and the friendship ! continued after the prince received the crown. HIGH PRICES IN POULTRY. Pure Bred Fowls a Necessity and Fanciers Pei>etuate Them. A sale of a Buff Orpington hen at York, Pa., for $400 was a news item of the last week, and as the fowl weighed only four pounds, to the general public it looked a high price for poul- 1 try. To a community that grumbles about paying 22 cents a pound for the Christmas turkey it seems a ridiculous sum for one small hen. To breeders of j thoroughbred poultry as a fancy or a business the price is only an indication of the trade value of the Orpington at < this time, for the buyer needed just ; what this hen possesses in color, plumage and shape to strengthen his own flock so that he can get more money for his show birds. With many out aiders, too, the Orpington is an unknown breed of poultry, and they have been puzzled to know if the $400 was paid for the hen as a rare freak of featherdom. The breed is a new one and only be- ] came recognized as a distinct fowl in < 1886, when the Black Orpington was 1 admitted to the chicken stud book, a , term that describes exactly the func- i tion of the British and American 1 "standard of perfection." The stand- > ard tells to a feather just what a thor- i oughbred fowl is in the recognized breeds, and classification is not given to a new type until it has been fully , demonstrated that It is one that re- < produces itself as a distinct family. 1 The late William Cook, an English j fancier, created the Orpington. For I many years he raised 30,000 fowls a 1 year for the British market and sold eggs on the same scale. During the Boer war Cook had a contract to supply the British troops with poultry and . ?ggs and he established two great farms for the purpose in South Africa. Cook | ittended the New York poultry show . >f 1903 and exhibited in the Orpington Masses, but the American Orpington ;lub ha/1 been established before that ind the breed had been seen at our /hows. In creating the Black Orpington, Cook had combined the Minorca, Plymouth Rock and Langshan breeds, but tie added other strains to create the White, Buff, Speckled and Spangled sorts, each a distinct variety. He experimented for ten years to make the Ruff Orpington and it took Cook seventeen years to bring the Spangled Orpington to a standard type. The fowl is valuable both for the table and as an egg producer. The Orpington suggest somewhat in bearing the Dorking, the old English cottage breed, but It has four instead of five toes and is taller and heavier. It Is a clean legged on/1 Innln/^oa hnth flnd double comb varieties. The value of pure bred birds to the p jltry industry is that hybrids, however good for the table or for eggs, are not considered suitable for breeding from. The crossbred fowls deteriorate In all good points on a breeding farm and the pure breeds have to be maintained to freshen up the stock of the market breeders. This accounts for the high prices of pure bred types that are exceptionally good individuals. The shows of poultry and pigeons, for the situation Is somewhat the same with the latter, to be held each year in all the cities and at the country fairs are the distributing places to the buyers for utility purposes of the pure bred stock. The New York show, which has been held for eighteen years, Is the largest, and the finest types of each breed are on view there. At the last show there were 5,689 exhibits In the poultry and pigeon divisions. A record price in Buff Orpingtons Is $750 for an English prize winning chanticleer, hut a Black Orpington cock which was only fourth in the class was tagged at $1,000. There were a dozen Orpingtons of dlffenent types priced from $500 to $800, and $26 was the lowest priced one of the 261 in the classes. As a new breed many amateurs have taken up the Orpington, and W. L. Davis of Berlin, Conn., brought his home-breds to New York in a private poultry car, which is the latest whim of the gentleman farmer. The greatest display at New York is In the two American breeds, Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, 627 and 554 being the respective number at the last show. Leghorns, the egg producing Mediterranean type, came next with 505 exhibits. Plymouth Rock exhibitors do not price their birds as a rule. The only Barred Rocks priced at the last New York show were a cockerel at $35 and a pullet at $20, but as the same men have won the first prizes year after year It Is to be presumed that an outsider who tries to buy will find himself up against a "corner In the stock," as they say In Wall street. Prices of $50 to $100 dot the catalogue for White Buff, Pencilled or Partridge Rocks, and amateurs are more prominent as winners In these strains. An actor, W. Barry Owens, who has his farm at Vineyard Haven, is a leading exhibitor of Orpingtons and White Plymouth Rocks, and Thomas A. Wise, also a comedian, exhibits Fanerolles and raises them at Croton-on-the-Hudson In the season when the theatres are closed. Every pure breed in poultry is in lemand by both amateurs and business fancier. Turkeys are not priced, but a show bird cannot be bought for less than $100. Prize geese are quoted from $50 to $200, and especially good Imported lucks cost the breeders from $25 to $50 ?ach. Show bantams are priced from $5 to $25, but rare sorts are held at prohibitive figures. A pigeon fancier thinks nothing of giving $100 for the lock or hen he needs. Pygmy pouters ire just now a fad in the pigeon world. Aleck Smith, the professional golf champion, who first became a fancier In Scotland, is one of the new American collectors of pygmy pouters. Fantails, jacobins and magpies year In and jut bring the highest prices. The pigion fancier Is not backed by the de mand from utility breeders, as tne poultry fanciers are, and he is a collector from the love of it and should be ranked with the amateur collectors of the rare or beautiful in art, books or Dhina, for his zeal is heartfelt. Pheasants are the highest priced of ill poultry breeds and the costliest to raisie. A setting of eggs of the Mongolian or ringnecked pheasants costs from $30 to $50, all risks to be assum?d by the buyer, while a bird of a rare variety may cost $500. The stately and ?iantesque Indian game breed commands from $25 to $200 for a cock or hen, but a few years ago a Crystal Palace winning cock was imported at i cost of $1,000. This is on e^'bition breed primarily, but as va.uable as the Fountain head strain as the English pulldog is to the dog breeders. W. I. WITHERSPOON CO. HARDWARE, IMPLEMENTS, WAGONS. BUGGIES, HARNESS.
