Furrajjut was but thirteen yours old wheu he served us midshipman under Porter In the battle of the Essex against the Phoebe and Cherub, lie was taken to the Phoebe as a prisoner of war, says his biographer, and , came aboard crying from mortification. At the same moment, however, a ltritish middy also came alongside with a young pig in his arms. "A prize! A prize!" he was shouting. "Ho, boys, a fine grunter!" It was a pig that had been a pet In the steerage of the Essex, whore It was called Murphy. Earrngut at once claimed it as private property. "You are a prisoner, and your pig, too," replied the HriMsh middy. "We always respect private property," said Earrngut, grabbing the pig and determined to hold on till forced to nui i vnvici. "Go it, little Yankee!" cried the oldsters present. "If you can thrash Shorty you shall have your pip:." A ring was formed, and Shorty came at Farragut hammer and tongs, but the American was handy with ids fists, lie quickly laid his opponent low. The British bluejackets cheered him heartily, and the pig was declared to be his. Not Flat tor I nut. S. Baring-Gould, the English novelist, bad the bitter pleasure of reading many not flattering obituaries of himself. Through an error he was reported dead, and the newspapers of his native land declared unanimously that ho had left no good work behind. An American editor dined with BuringGeuUl in London. The talk turned to premature obituaries, nisi the Xmericnn said, "IIow did you feel on reading them?" Taken aback, nonplused, the novelist grimly replied: "I felt like a lady who owned a parrot. This lady's cook came to her one morning in joyful excitement. 'Oh, ma'am,' she cried, 'the parrot lias learned some new words.' 'Good,' said the lady. 'That bird is wonderfully teachable. It sits and drinks In every blessed word my husband says to me. What does it say now?' 'It keeps a-sayln',' said the cook, ' "Shut un. von old fool!"'" Krnn nml tlie Slio^imui. An amusing paper in Chambers' Jour nal on John Richardson, the illiterate and successful English" showman of the last century, contains this story: It was during the earlier and less fortunate part of his pilgrimage that he numbered Edmund Kean among his company. The old showman was not a little proud of this association and used to give himself some credit for having had a hand in Kean's theatrical education. When Macready's name was becoming known in the dramatic world Richardson was asked if he had seen him. "No, muster," he said, "I know nothing about him; in fact, lie's some vngabone as no one knows?one o' them chaps as ain't had any eddicatlon for the thing. lie never was with me, as Edmund Kean and them rlglars was." Tlio Olden! Hunk Note*. Tlie oldest bank notes In the world are the "flying money," or convenient I money, first Issued in China In 2007 B. C. One writer tells that the ancient Chinese bank notes were In many respects similar to those of the present day, bearing the name of the bank, the date of Issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official who Issued it and Its value In both figures and words. On the top of these curious notes was the following philosophic Injunction: "Produce all you can; spend with economy." The into was printed in blue ink on paper mado from the fiber of the mulberry tree. One of these notes bearing the date 1809 B. C. Is still preserved In the Asiatic museum at St. Petersburg. The F.tjuinoxen. " lue popular belief that storms are more frequent about the time of the equinox, or when 'the sun crosses the line' In March and September, receives some slight degree of support from the Investigations of European scientists," states an expert of the weather bureau. "In soutliwestern Europe March Is the stormiest month, while In the British islands and Norway January takes the lend in that respect; but, considering Europe as a whole, It appears that storms preponderate neaa^the seasons of the equfi| inoxes."

When there are flsli In tho water with them the mother clams discharge tho eggs which soon hatch, but If there are no fish they carry the eggs until they decay. The reason of this strange behavior is this: When the eggs nro set free in the water they soon hatch and the little ones swim about until they find somo fish to which to attach themselves. They live for a time on the mucus of , the fish and then drop off, sink to tho j bottom and form burrows for them- 1 selves. This curious semlparasltic life ' Is no doubt a reversion to the habit of some ancient ancestor. One Man'i WlNdnm.
