Too Familiar With Quotations. in
The principal of a Boston school
who requests that his name be with
held in order that he may maintain
discipline in his classrooms tells this: pr
"When I was teaching in a school
in the western part of the state some
years ago I had some trouble in main- bu
taining order among the girls of my a
classes. They were continually play- ye
Ing tricks on me and each other in the
classrooms, and I decided to stop it. PIC
The next day. following a breach of to
discipline. I ordered two of the girls to(
to remain after school and gave them pa
two long problems that kept them for
a long time. At the opening of school
the following morning I opened the
-day as usual by asking each member
of the class for a quotation. One of m
the girls rose and quoted. 'With all thy or
faults I love thee still,' and the other.
'The hours I spend with thee, dear to'
heart, are as a string of pes is to me.' "

The Canny Grocer.
The canny grocer sized up his Cus
tomer.
~She had ordered six strictly fre
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and, go- 1
ing to the basket, picked them out.
Twisting the top of the bag together,.
he handed it to the woman, who paid
him and went away.
The canny grocer smiled.
He had given the women seven eggs
when she ordered but six..
Me knew that when she reached
home and found she had seven instead
of six eggs she would be so delighted
with the supposition that she had over
reached him that she would entirely
disregard the fact that six of the eggs
were storage and one was dubious.
For the grocer understood human na
ture.
And he was canny.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Deep Grief.
Throughout his career as a newspa
per reporter the young man's assign
ments had- taken him into demonstra
tive crowds whose periods of noIsy
demonstration It was his duty to time
"Mr. A. finally appearing, the audience
cheered for fifteen minutes." "Senator
X. finished his second joke amid laugh
ter that lasted for ten minutes," or "At
tie close of the speech the audience
applauded wildly for thirteen minutes."
These and similar records of the pub
lic pulse plentifully adorned nearly-ev
ery story the young man wrote. One
day .he was sent to attend the funeral
of a rich and crusty~ tempered old gen
tleman whose young wife bad notori
ously repented her choice. The man
wound up his story of the funeral thus:
"In the silence that ensued the wid
ow wept for sixteen seconds."-Wash
Ington Star.
Discovery of Speed of Light.
One of the greatest discoveries of
science Is due to observation of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. ft was
found that when the earth was in the
part of its orbit nearest to Japiter .
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes r
earlier than when it was *in the far
-0 M ar w - shy al Of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. It was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter of the earth's orbit, a dis
tance of about 200,000,000 miles, thus
giving to light a velocity of 186,000
miles a second, which was accurately
shown later by other experimets.

The Points of Our Stars.
The stars on our flag and those on
the great seal of the United States, as
well as those on the seal of the presi
dent, are Bre pointed. The segi of the
house of representatives, -however,
shows -six pointed stars, and there are
six pointed stars on the obverse of the
half and quarter dollar coins, with]
five pointed stars on theiverse. The
reverse of these coins*is a.copy of the
great seal, with the clouds and the
stars omitted. So far as can be as-.
certained the six pointed star is de
rived from the colonial coins, which
were designed In the manner of Eng
lish heraldry, which sanctions that
star. The stare on the flag are copIed
from the Washington coat of arms.

Identifying a Street. ..
A gentleman from the rural districts
boarded an Olive street car one day
last week and directed the conductor
to let him off at Pimple avenue.
"There is no Pimple avenue in St.
Louis," protested the conductor. An
argument ensued. The conductor
brought forth his street directory and
after examirdng it carefully said, "I
guess it's Boyle avenue you want."'
