m n 5|t l?aicjffiaii at? S?H?)OT WEDNESDAY, APSIL 14, 1897. THE MISTAKE SHE MADE. BpBailroad Travelers Who at Last Under? stood Each. Other. She sat by the car window, gazing ( i- oat ripon the unrolling scenery and pos BMfeiblj dreaming of home and things like that About six feet away from her, across BPtfce aisle, was an empty seat, which as ? the next station was filled by a man ? With a sample case. He was 50 years of ? age or thereabout and was qnite as dap ?er 'oolong as if he were SO and still . . the knight to please every fair dame >: -who set her soft eyes upon him. .. The lady was young and pretty, with perhaps a shade too much display in her if- makeup, but still one could hardly say that, for all is not gold that glitters in ^^BOC?? cases-or words to that effect. When the man had sat down in the vacant seat aad composed himself for I the journey before him, he began to look Iabout to familiarize himself with his enrijnnrnents, and in the course of his visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the . yerang lady. He gave a slight start, as tl- people do when they think they see '::-v^?6niebodfy,'t&^r''know( and looked again. ? The lady wasn't looking^ of course. Wi Bat she wasnt asleep. Hot in the slightest. : _ . After a minute or two or three or ? four of hesitatmg mvestigation the trav? eling man, fer it was he, arose and very politely aad deferentially approached ? the young lady. It was done as if fae had been practic? ing that sort of thing ever since he had t picked up the first sample case. 'Either : ; timi or he was to the manner born. "I beg your pardon," he said as she wtarned from the window to meet him t with a half startled, fawnlike move? ment not altogether unusual on such . occasions, ''aren't you Miss Morton of Philadelphia:'" She gave him a glassy stare with a : raw edge on it "You ?lon't look like a man," she re ' pilied with an insolent air, "who would ^ try to werk as old a racket as that on ; nie. Do I look so green'as that:" It was DOW. his tarn to gaze at her in v: ssavtled wonder. v ; '"Oh, that's all right," she laughed, r awrnng over to make room beside her, ' and I'll forgive yon. You know I am ., not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any* : w&ere else, and so do I know it But sis dows. I'm lonesome, and I 'd just as scon have a pleasant little talk with you as ?ot Pm to meet mamma at the sta? tion where we take dinner. " ; "I beg your pardon,"said the travel? ing man?.backing away. "I am sure if yon are not Miss Morton I have no de? sire whatever to talk with you. " Then he went back to his place, and the flip young woman was rather in <4r*ed to the opinion that there was at ] east one man on the road who could be mistaken honestly. ' All of which occurred between Wash? ington and New~York within the last ~''?wo Weeks.-Washington Star. -,-:--> Animal "Kinac^garV?ns. It will be noticed that s ll creatures which have large families, whether ? beasts or birds, have l^s trouble in rear? ing them tban those which have only ene cr two young. Little pigs are weeks ahead of calves in intelligence, and the young partridge, with its dozen brothers and sisters, is far more teachable than the young eagle. There seems no doubt that the latter is taught to fly by its parents. A correspondent informs tho : writer that he has watched the old birds so engaged and the young eagles reluctantly following them to a height Specialized education in animals be? gins late. The beaver kitten's training . does not begin until the autumn of the year in.which it was born. The old beavers, which have moved up tributary streams into the woods, or roamed to the larger lakes during summer, then return to inspect their das* and repair it for the winter. They then cut down a few trees, and, dividing them into logs, roll them or tow them to the dam. The kittens meantime are put on to what in a workshop would be called a "soft job." They cut ali the small branches and twigs into lengths and do their share of light transport service. Ir the mud patting and repairing of the dam the beaver kittens take their share, but there is little doubt that they do so because t&eir elders are so engaged. It is a kindergarten of the best kind, be? cause mud patting and stick cutting are a great joy and solace to old beavers as well as young ones, and so instruction, pleasure and business are all combined. Young otters, and probably also young water rats, have to be taught to#go into the water. According to the observa? tions of Mr. Hart, the late head keeper at the zoo, the young otters born there did not enter the water for weeks, and even then their mother had to "mind" them and fetch them out when she thought they had had enough of it They swim naturally when once in the water, and this seems true of all ani- j mais.-London Spectator. . Wehster Under Suspicion. The story is told that Daniel Webster, when on his way by stage coach to Washington once, was looked upon with suspicion by.bis traveling companions. Finally one of rho latter tapped Lim cr. the knee and said: "How far are you going?" "I am going to Washington," an? swered Webster. "Are you a merchant?" continued the inquirer. "No; I am a senator," replied Web? ster. "Well, weil!" exclaimed the other, holding out his hand. "I am relieved. We feared you might, be a highway? man."-Harpers Round Table. London Bridge. London bridge is constructed of gran? ite and is considered among the finest specimens of bridge architecture. The present structure was commenced in 1834 and completed in seven years, at a cost of over ?250,000. ; "Blight" costs cotton planters more than five million dollars an? nually. This is an enormous waste, and can be prevented. Practical experiments at Ala? bama Experiment Station show conclusively that the use of "Kainit" I trill prevent that dreaded plant disease. AH about Potash-the results of hs use by actual ex p?riment on the best farms "in the United States-is told in a little book which we publish and will gladly mail free to any farmer in America who will write for it.
