iuunorons ^Department. Sortie Scotch Humor.?Prof. Herbert Strong tells a number of stories in the "Academy" in the course of an article on "Scottish Humor and Scottish Character." A minister in a country parish was promoted from his unremunerative cure to the more desirable one of Jail chaplain at a large town. His congregation resented his acceptance of the office and referred to the trouble that it would give them to find a successor. But the divine stuck to his guns and took as the text of his farewell sermon, "I go to prepare a place for you." The minister gracefully and fully accepts the high opinion of his powers accorded to him by the members of his flock. An Episcopalian Scottish nrnfpssor told me he Questioned a distinguished parish minister as to the reason why the Lord's Prayer was so seldom used in the service of his church. The reply was: "Weel, ye see, we just dinna need It." "But." pursued the professor, "surely it is impossible even for one so gifted as yourself to produce a prayer more sublime?" "Aye." was the answer, "but oor folk thinks itherwise." Another anecdote is from Geikie's "Scottish Reminiscences." A country doctor who was attending a laird had instructed the butler of the house in the art of taking and recording his master's temperature with a thermometer. On paying his usual morning call, he was met by the butler, to whom he said: "Well, John, I hope the laird's temperature is not any higher today?" The man looked puzzled for a minute and then replied: "Weel. I was just wonderin' that , mysel'. Ye see, he deed at twal ' o'clock!" A minister well advanced in years summoned his elders and apologetically announced to them his intention of taking to himself a third wife. "She will come in handy to close my een," he added. "Fegs. minister." replied one of his councellors. "I had twa o' them my- [ sel', and I can promise ye they have opened mine!" An Unpleasant Jolt.?We oldsters set i for the youngsters a higher stand- < ard than we set for ourselves. Forgetting that you can't make a silk purse < out of sow's ear. the stupidest and i ugliest failures of parents expect their i sons and daughters to grow up mir- 1 acles of beauty, intelligence and sue- . cess." The speaker was William Lackaye, I the occasion the Lambs' Gambol in I New York. He continued: "Sometimes, thougn, sucn parents are called sharply to themselves. The jolt is unpleasant. i "A father said to his pretty daugh- i ter one evening with a scornful, angry laugh: " "That young Jamson has the face to want to marry you! A mere bookkeeper!' " 'But, father,' said the girl, 'I love Mr. Jamson. What is your objection to our marriage?' " 'Why,' roared the old man. 'why, he couldn't support you decently.' "'But, father,' said the girl, 'neither can you.' " There Were Others.?That Mrs. Wilbur is so angry she won't speak to me," confided Mabel to Ethel. "Really!" exclaimed Ethel. "And what is she angry about?" *t tvio idon.'* said Mabel. "We met a couple of days ago and we were talking as friendly as possible when suddenly she flared up and she hasn't noticed me since." "What were you talking about?" inquired Ethel. "Why, nothing in particular." explained Mabel. "Just the ordinary small talk. I remember she said, 'I always kiss my husband three or four times every day." "And what did you say?" asked Ethel, in an effort to get at the root of the trouble. "Why, I said," replied the other, " 'I know at least a dozen girls who do the same,' and then she nearly had a fit." In the Dog Watch??Captain Kendall, of the ill-fated Empress of Ireland. < was very popular with his passengers. | < >n his former ship, the Montrose, he once said to a young lady passenger ( who had asked a foolish question: < "Your question indicates a certain lack of seamanship. You are like the little schoolboy. "This little schoolboy was reading aloud out of his reading book, thus: " 'The captain shivered his timbers and gave a hitch to his trousers, and swore that the oncoming sail was neither brig nor sloop, but something larger, namely a?a?' "Here the boy paused: he could not pronounce the next word. " 'Barque," prompted his teaeher. "The boy looked round at his fellow pupils timidly, lifted up his head like a hound, and went: " 'Bow-wow-wow! Bow-wow-wow! Bow-wow-wow!'" Good Boy!?The late Charles H. Britting, proprietor of the New York actors' restaurant, known as the "Little Hall of Fame." took a keen interest in popular trends and movements of all kinds. Mr. Britting thought little of scl entitle management and efficiency engineering. He said one day of an efficiency engineer: , "Blank is a fool, and I thought he'd go broke. Hut, by jingo, the fellow , has deceived me. He has discovered a labor-saving device, and his address will be Easy street from now on." "Good boy Hlank!" said an actor. "And what labor-saving device has he discovered ?" "Am elderly widow." Mr. Hrittlng answered?"an elderly widow with a million who has consented to marry him." Be Reasonable Parson.?In a small country church a newly married collide was receiving some advice as to their future conduct, says the Chicago News. "You must never both get cross at once: it is the husband's duty to protect his wife, and a wife must love and obey her husband and follow him wherever he goes." "Hut sir?" pleaded the bride. "I haven't finished yet," remarked the clergyman. "She must?" "Hut please sir, can't you alter that last part? My husband is a postman." $Uscflliincous grading. LION OR TIGER NEVER TAME Man Eaters May Keep on Good Behavior Through Fear. The tame lion or tiger is a creature that doesn't exist, according to Sam Stevenson, who is head keeper at the Norumbega park zoo. In support of this thory he can show a fine collection of scars which were caused by the indiscretions of alleged tame animals. On several occasions he has saved his life only by reason of his quick wit and iron nerve, and the fact that he never has hesitated to use a gun or club when his pets have shown an inclination to go on a rampage. You've seen Stevenson if you ever visited the beautiful park out on the Charles river, where you must have observed a tall, pleasant-featured man. whose brown hair is fast turning gray, working about the animal cages. If you've an observing turn of mind, you will notice he walks with a pronounced limp. You will also see an ugly scar on his left hand. If he happens to be in a talkative mood, he'll tell the story about the scar and limp. He'll perhaps also tell about his experience with the maneating tiger. Rajah, and if you get to know him really well, he'll show you a gold medal that he received from Bostock, of wild animal fame. The inscription reads: "Presented to Samuel Stevenson by Frank B. Bostock for bravery shown at Indianapolis Zoo, February 15, 1901." His experience with Rajah was one of the most exciting that Stevenson has experienced in the years he has been associated with animals. Rajah heard the call of the wild one day in Indianapolis, when a young man who worked as assistant keeper was in his cage. In an instant the man was knocked to the door and Rajah, with all the pent-up ferocity of years, was at him. In another instant, Sam Stevenson, armed only with a broom, was fighting the mad beast away from his captive. Rajah turned aside from his first victim for an instant to attack Stevenson. In the meantime, assistants, armed with red-hot iron prongs and revolvers, had driven the beast away. and Stevenson, with tne mangieu ouuy of his friend, stepped out of the cage. Despite all efforts the injured man died soon after he was taken out of the cage. Stevenson was laid up for a time by reason of his injuries, but when he recovered, went back to his job. "It's impossible to tame any lion or tiger. It can't be done, and all this talk about wild animals being trained is nothing but bosh," is the way Stevenson puts it. "A lion may be on his good behavior for a week. Apparently he has iiuite forgotten his savage desires and is as tame as a pet cat. Then, without wa -ning, he is likely to spring at his keeper and do his best to devour him. Make the animals realize you are the boss and never take your eyes off them. If you turn your back, it's 'good-night.' "I never go into a cage without a revolver loaded with blanks and I also have an iron ciuo. 11 s wen ?uau w have the keepers outside with their iron prongs. Sometimes when the beasts are unusually ferocious, it's necessary to have the irons heated red-hot." The big scar that may be seen on Stevenson's left hand was caused by a scratch from the lion Denver, which was inflicted some years ago when the Bostoek show was in Boston. For some time after that, the liontamer was a patient at St. Elizabeth's hospital. For a time the doctors thought amputation of the arm would be necessary, but. while it was ultimately saved, the member has never recovered its full strength. On anothi r occasion when Steven son proved his medal anu received serious injuries, the show was at Manhattan Reach. A pair of young tiger cubs turned on Alec Day, one of the keepers, and bore him to the ground. Stevenson jumped to his friend's assistance. Armed with a sharppointed iron prong he drove the snarling cubs away and dragged his friend to safety. Day was badly injured and his rescuer still wears a scar of the battle on his left arm and hand. He had a narrow escape on another occasion when Emperor, a magnificent specimen of African lion, turned upon him while he was putting the animal through his paces. After a terrible tussle, in which gun and iron bar were brought into play, the man was declared the victor. He loft the cage a master, but with several broken bones, a badly lacerated hand and minus two quarts [>f blood. Strangely enough, these narrow escapes do not seem to have had any effect upon Stevenson's nerves. He has tht- perfect poise of a man whose nerves are under absolute control, and is calm In any emergency. "If an animal keeper loses his nerve, he may as well get out of the business." said Stevenson "1 never think of my mishaps when I go into their cages. Hut I'm always on my guard. "There's a strange fascination about the business in spite of all its dangers. If a man stays in it any length of time it gets such a hold on him that it's hard to got away." During the time Stevenson was with the Hostock show, he traveled all over this country and Kurope. He played a big part in the training ef the wonderful group of l'T lions, the largest collection of its kind in show history Lions are slow pupils, says Stevenson. but never forget a trick once they have mastered it. of all wild animals. he says, tigers are the most dangerous, and never lose their ferocity even when born and bred in captivity. Stevenson was born and brought up in Tacoina, Wash. His first venture in the wild animal tleld was with a troup of bears he used to exhibit up and down the west coast. lie is an excellent ventriloquist and used to perform in that capacity all over the country. Strangely enough, he seems to value this accomplishment quite as highly as his wonderful mastery over wild animals.?Hoston I'ost. Responded with Ready Wit.?Mr. Cumin once dined with a brother advocate. when on circuit, tit a small inn kept by a hostess named "Honor." They were pleased with their dinner. and invited the lady to take a glass of wine with them, and handing it to her, proposed a toast, "Honor and Honesty," to which the lady added, with an arch smile, "Our Absent Friends," drank the toast and withdrew. PECULIARITIES OF THE EYE Interesting Study that Reveals Valuable Information. The exercise or ine sense or sigm is attended by more possibilities for improvement than that of any other of the Ave senses. The tapering finger and the stubby one may be equally sensitive in touch; the sense of taste is not dependent on the size of the tongue; small and large noses may be equally keen of scent; the shiipe of the ear has little or nothing to do with the ability to hear?but the eye is different. It partakes more of the character of a fine mechanical instrument. Light enters the pupil of the eye, spans the diameter of the ball, and comes to a focus on the retina. In order that this focus may be properly placed the eyeball must have cer tain exact proportions. It must have a definite shape; and, if it lacks so little as one-hundredth part of an inch, difficulties in seeing will occur. In fact, many eyes seemingly perfect to outward appearance, fall short in a little detail of shap*? and the sight is not at all satisfactory. This condition is in no respect a disease. When light entering the eye fails to come to a correct focus, this defect may be remedied by placing a lense before the eye. That is to say, the focal error may be measured and a lens ground to correct it. Thus we see that the problem presented is purely one of optical adjustment, and the solution depends upon the exact measurements of focus. In order to determine just what an eye can or cannot do, these measurements should moan M'Vir.,1 *ho wo is in its usual working condition. If any function of the eye is impaired by the use of drugs?such as dilating the pupil, etc., the resulting measurements are likely to be inaccurate and improperly fitted glasses may be given. The principal defects of sight may be classified under three heads: Hypermetropia (far-sightedness), myopia (near-sightedness, and an unsymmetrlcal form called astigmatism. Hypermetropia is a defect where the eyeball is not deep enough to allow the rays of light to come to a correct focus. With an eye of this kind the far-away sight is often nearly normal, wheretis the reading vision may be accomplished only by unusual strain of the focusing muscles. In deed, in some cases, reading near at hand is impossible without the aid of glasses. In hypermetropia certain muscles are under a strain practically every moment that the eye is in use. This produces discomfort about the eyes and often results in headaches. Properly fitted glasses is the only permanent remedy. Myopia is a focal derangement caused by the eyeball being too deep. The distant sight is bad, yet the near vision may be almost normal. The focusing muscles are seldom brought into play in myopia, so there is little occasion to strain them. For this reason headaches are rarely caused by myopic eyes. People having such tiluuuni'p frnm correctly fitted glasses, which enable them to enjoy clear vision. Astigmatism is a derangement of focus that may be said to lie between the other two forms?for in the astigmatic eye part of the rays of light focus on the retina and part do not. This is usually brought about by an unsymmetrical shape of the front aspect (cornea) of the eye. A small degree of astigmatism will not materially affect the sharpness of sight, but often causes great discomfort and aching in and about the eyes. These symptoms have often led the uninformed to think that astigmatism is some form of disease. Astigmatism is in no respect a disease, and it is a serious mistake to use drugs in the eyes when examining for it, as the action of the drug interferes with accurate measurement of the defect. This focal defect is often associated with myopia, and hyperemetropia, thus producing what is known as compounded astigmatism. Besides these defects of vision, another and very different kind should be mentioned which develops in middle life. It is universal. When viewing objects near at hand the contents of the eyeball are in constant motion, delicate muscles contracting, and the jelly-like mass pulsating with action ?instant adjustment being made for any focus. But time, which changes cartilage to bone and causes a general hardening of the tissues, "vul canizes me eye-ienws. uimc uy mtle the motion is checked, and finally ceases altogether. In the proportion that this ocular activity is lessened by age, we have to hold our book or paper further away to see the print clearly. In extreme old age all internal motion stops, and glasses alone makes reading possible. When this change begins it is folly to abuse the sight by trying to force the eye to see without glasses?for glasses are the only thing that will restore normal vision. When using the two eyes in seeing it is, of course, necessary that both eyes be directed exactly toward the object viewed. This calls a certain tension of the muscles mai move uie eyeballs. If for any reason these muscles are lacking in strength, vision will be painful, and "cross-eyes," even, may finally result. The competent optometrist, when examining for eyestrain, always tests the strength of these muscles to find if they are concerned in the trouble, as well as learn if there is danger of "crosseyes." When needed, special lenses are prescribed to relieve weak muscles.? bulletin of the American Optometric Association. Dog's Privilege Restricted.?That the law no longer concedes that a dog is entitled to one bite is held in Legault vs. Malacker before the supreme court of Wisconsin, in which a father sued for damages for the death of his son. who died from wounds caused by the defendant's dog. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the complaint, but in reversing the decision the supreme court said: "Where a complaint alleges that a dog attacked and wounded a person who at the time was where he might lawfully be and in the exercise of ordinary care it is unnecessary to go further and allege that the dog was vicious or mischievous. Such a dog is necessarily vicious and a separate allegation to that effect is unnecessary. The law no longer 'allows a dog his first bite,' as was said to he the case before the passage of the law abolishing proof of scienter."? Exchange. FINDING THE RANGE AT SEA How the Crew of a Battleship Fire During the Target Practice. The gray battleship seems strangely deserted and bare, for her decks are denuded of men, while all rails and other upstanding incumbrances have been laid ilat on deck. The gun turrets, five of them, are trained round, with the long lean muzzles of their twin weapons pointing out over the sea, and every now and then one of the guns twitches I ever so lightly, or a turret revolves a little, as the gunlayers keep their sights aligned on the distant target. The ten 13.5s the ship carries are powerful weapons. Each one of them is over 50 feet long, and weighs close on 80 tons, while their 1,250-pound shells can be hurled to a distance of over 15 miles. The enormous projectiles. too, leave the muzzles at the rate of 1,800 miles an hour, and can penetrate the thickest armor afloat at a range of 5,000 yards. But now, as the snip moves on through the water, with her sharp bow sending up two little cascades of spray on either side of the stem, she looks like a great mastodon uncontrolled by man. There are no signs of life on board?nothing except the twitching gun turrets and the black smoke rolling from the squat funnels, which tells of the men laboring below. But every man on board is at the station he would occupy in action, and before long the uproar of the guns will have begun. In the conning tower, with its 12inch armor, stands the captain, his navigating officer, a midshipman or two and several other officers and mon Tho amnll circular erection. I barely ten feet in diameter, seems cramped for all it has to contain. Above the conning tower is another armored erection, containing a range finder, and inside this is the gunnery lieutenant, with a half a dozen more officers and men. He is surrounded by strange looking Instruments, while the man at the range finder, with his eyes at its rubber eye pieces, is monotonously chatting out the distance of the approaching target. To the naked eye, the target Itself ?a great, lattice-work structure, tow' 1--- - ? ?*! ??? hnMlnnUlo 1 (Wt 1/ O Q H _ tMJ uy aiiuuirr uaiummj' iv/uno solutely small and insignificant at its six-mile range. But the gunlayers in the turrets are provided with telescopic sights, and these, with their powerful lenses, serve to counteract the difficulty. Inside the turrets themselves the expectant men are grouped round their guns. The great projectiles, and the cordite changes behind them, have already been pushed home by the hydraulic rammers, and, since their weapons are thus fully loaded, the guns' crews are idle for the time being. But the gunlayers?the men who aim and fire the guns?and the trainers?those who keep them pointing in the right direction?are anxiously keeping the sights on the target, and every now and then, as they move their small brass handles, there is a wheezing of hydraulic machinery, and the great breeches rise and fall ever so slightly, while the whole armorea structure containing them revolves an inch or so at a time to keep the sights on. A minute or two later, after an order has come through from the control position, the lieutenant in charge of the foremost turret suddenly raps out the order: "Bring both guns to the ready!" The men standing by the breeches Hick over their small levers. "Right gun ready! Left gun ready!" they report in rapid succession. The range, meanwhile, is decreasing rapidly, and about ten seconds later there comes the strident rattling i if :in elprtrie bell. It is the signal to open fire. The gunlayer holds his breath, sees the cross wires of his telescope cutting the lattice-work of the target, and then presses an innocent-looking brass thuinbpiece. As he does so there is a roar and, with a blaze of orange Hume and pell of brown smoke, a projectile weighing more than half a ton is sailing through the air on its way toward the target. Outside the turret the concession is terrible, but inside it is barely felt, and the only means the guns' crew have of knowing their weapon has gone off is by the rocking of the turret and the recoil of the gun. Back she slides, with the water whistling and gurgling through the hydraulic valves far below. She stops, and then. iis the running-out springs exert their strength, is driven back to the firing position. The men. meanwhile, are working like demons. Some one, hy moving a small lever which actuates a hydraulic engine, has opened the breech. A cloud of acrid cordite smoke fills the turret, but another man. turning a tap, sends a jet of water spouting into the chamber to extinguish any still-burning fragments. Everything seems chaos, but everyone knows what to do?they ha.*e done it time after time, and in less than 30 seconds we hear a sharp or?l?.f "IMtrht troo limit!" A man moves an upright lever, and an arrangement looking like a mit-iature lift climbs into view through ihe floor. It has come up from the shellroom below laden with the new charge and projectile, and stops dead in the rear of the gun. Reposing in a tray is the shot itself. Another lever is worked, and a flexible chain hydraulic rammer, looking like a snake, darts out of its resting place and pushes the shot before it into the breech of the gun. It is driven home with a dull thud. The rammer is withdrawn, another ' handle is pulled, and two enormous brown cylinders of cordite fall into the tray just vacated by the projectile. They, too, are rammed home, and. before we quite realize what has happened. the breech of the gun has been swung home, and the great weapon is ready for firing. In the fire-control position the gunnery lieutenant has seen the first shot tear a jagged hole in the target. and promptly whispers an order to a man at his side. The latter moves a small handle, and 30 seconds I Imrn ic timithnp <1 l?r?h n rcn In about ten ruinutcs it is all over, and the ship is approaching the target to see the result of her shooting. The structure is badly battered, but most of the lattice work is still standing, and is riddled with holes. The captain and gunnery lieutenant are both on the bridge, with telescopes to their eyes. "Very good shooting!" murmurs the former. "Not so bad, sir." agrees his junior. ?A nswers. Quietest Place in the World.?If you should ask your friends to name the quietest place in the world, you would probably fret a great variety of answers. Some would say. the summit of a high mountain: others a distant place in the middle of the ocean, or an isolated spot in the desert. Rut on the mountain peaks and in the quiet of the wilderness there are usually birds to break the silence, and the roar of the wind and the dashing of the waves disturb the peace of the ocean.
