A physician who hud for fifteen years been one of the doctors of the Actors' fuud and who utteuilod hundreds of actors with no compensation whatever, wrote to a prominent manager and asked for some theater tickets. ills request was refused, the manager asking what the doctor had ever done that he should be entitled to receive theater tickets gratis. The physician Immediately replied. Ills letter contained a brief recital of his services to theatrical people. In conclusion he said: "Despite my services, as named above, 1 should not have thought of asking you for tickets had It not been that upon the occasion of the death of Mr. Blank you assured me that If you could over serve me In any way whatever you would consider it a fa\pr If I u-nnia ^iill iiiixii i-xn n...i-.i..iv? * ..... ...II ..|"'.l J 1 boar you no 111 will on account of your present action. I was very glnd to attend Mr. Blank when he died In your box ofTIee. and I should be happy to do as much for you at any time." Tom Corwin's Education. The father of Tom Corwln, the famous Kentucky statesman, orator and wit, felt that he was too poor to make a scholar of more than one child of his lnrge family, and so the elder brother. Matthias, was kept at school and Thomas placed at hard work on the farm. The breaking of a leg proved a happy Incident In the life of the boy, as the enforced conllnement gave him time for devotion to his beloved l>ooks. and he committed a l.atln grammar to memory. Upon his recovery he again Importuned his father to send hint to school and, meeting a refusal, deliberately broke his leg the second time that he might have leisure to study. Ills heroic determination to learn resulted In his being placed In the same lnstltu tion attended by his brother, where his natural ability and great Industry gathered a thorough knowledge of the best English literature and a fair acquaint ance with the Imtlu classics.?Ohio Magazine. Why Horses Shy. The horse shied at a piece of white paper, and the rider tumbled off Into the mud. ir is wen ror tno world," said an nutomobilist, smiling, "that It Is ceasing to use the horse for a servant. The horse Is a half blind giant, with the miiul of a baby. No wonder, then, that when we trust out lives In his keeping he Is apt to go back on us. "Ills main trouble Is his eyes. So poor is the horse's sight that he mistakes a bank of snow for a tierce white beast. A mud puddle at his feet Is a yawning chasm. A shadow Hung across his path Is a black terror seeking his life; hence the wenkmlnded, nearsighted, powerful horse goes through life beside himself with fear. He is no more to be trusted than a maniac, and, like a maniac, he sees a monster awaiting him at every corner. Yet we get on his back, fools that we are."?New Orleans Tinies-1 )emocrat. How Clouds and Fogs Differ. Clouds are bodies of moisture evaporated from the earth and again partially condensed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs differ from clouds only in one respect?they come In contact with the surface of the earth while clouds are elevated above our heads. A - - ' 1 ?> wc-ii uiu minuce or mo curtn 1m warmer than the lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. Hut when the lower air Is warmer than the earth the vapor rises through the air and becomes cloud. Fog and mist differ in this respect?that mist is a tine rain, while fog Is vapor not sufficiently condensed to ullow of its precipitation in drops. The Fata Morgana. The most singular aerial phenomenon Is the fata morgana, a sea mirage seen oil' the coast of Calabria and between Italy and Sicily. It presents the phantoms of cities, houses, temples, paluccH and ships, sometimes in their proper position, sometimes Inverted, occasionally at an angle. The phenomenon has been known for many ages and formerly occasioned great and widespread alarm, being regarded us an evil omen that betokened some general and severe calamity. Curious Effects of Frost. An egg expands when it is frozen so much that the increased bulk breaks the shell. Apples, on the con trury, contract to such an extent that a full hurrel will shrink until the top layer will l>e a foot below the chime. When the frost has been slowly and carefully drawn out they again assume their normal size and appearance. Apples cau be transported when tho mercury Is 20 degrees below zero. Potatoes once touched by frost are ruined. An Easier Trip. "The president of this road," remarked the man in the corner of the smoking compartment, "Is one of those old fushloned railroaders, lie began ns a brakeinun. Instead of riding over the line In a private car to Inspect It, he walks over It." "I don't blame him," declared the man who was making his first trip 011 the road.?Cleveland Press. A Lasting Impression. "Well, Bertha, I hear you met Mr. Cooke yesterday. Did you like him?" "Do you know, dear, ho made an Impression upon me that nothing will obliterate." "Ueally! IIow?what did he say?" "It wasn't what he said; It was what he did. He spilled a cup of tea over my new white silk dress." Suocseded. "8he married him to reform him." "Did she succeed?" "Sure! Ho used to be a spendthrift and now he has nothing to spend."?
