A student enrolled in Agassiz's class. For several days Agassiz paid no atten tion td him whatever, At length, tired of standing around idle, the student asked Agassiz to give him g to do. Agassiz's reply was to d him a herring and to say, "Study this." The student was bewildered, but set about "studying" it. The next day Agassiz asked him wbat he had learned about the lierring, The student replied that it had two eyes, 850 many fins and such and such markings. "No, nol" Agassiz cried. "Study It more. Those things are not important." , The next day and the next the expe- lence was repeated. The fourth day Agassiz again demanded Information about the now rotting specimen. In a despérate attempt at humor the stu- dent replied; "Well, it's the same on both sides." 4 . "That's it!" shouted Agassiz. "That's it! A stadfish isn't the same on both sides, an oyster isn't, thousgnds of specimens of the sea are not. When you find one that is, you've found a starting pgint in a new stage in the evolution of life." Obviously, that student learned more from that one lesson about the scien tific method of study than he would have learned in a year's reading and lectures. The textbooks would have taught him the facts; Agassiz taught him the method of learning all facts.-- World's Work. ------ Lighting a Picture, The ball in the Rijks museum, in Amsterdam, which contains Rem- brandt's "The Night Wateh," painted in 1642, was specially built to hold the picture that the lighting might be as perfect as possible.

An Incident That Aroused Varied Eme« . tions All Around. "One morning about 9 o'clock I was sitting on the platform of a station waiting for 'my train when my atten- tion was attracted to a squad of Fed- eral soldiers who had evidently been on guard during the night, but were now. getting their breakfast. They were well supplied with rations und seemed in high spirits, "Just then I caught sight of a lank, "About the time I saw him the 'Yanks' also caught sight of him. They held a short consultation; then one of them sprang up, started toward him and shouted out: "Hello, red! Come this way; we want you! "The 'Johnnie' evidently entertained the same opinion, for he began a rather rapid retreat. A fresh summons, how- ever, re-enforced by a volley of threats, Induced him to turn and approach the party, with an attempted dignity of a that was Judicrous compared with hig hasty retrograde movement. "When he reached the.spot where the 'grud' was the Yanks seized him, made him sit down and began to ex- ert themselves to appease: his manifest hunger. 1 have known some extraordi- nary feeders, but I honestly. believe I have never seen any other two men eat as much as that fellow: did. He kept at it steadily for'not less than an hour, while the Yanks aided and em- couraged him to the utmost. He drank six tin cupfuls of coffee. He swelled visibly, and I wondered how his frail garments stood the tensfon.

If you carry it loose in your pocket pieces of grit will scratch it. Keep it In a case except when actually smoking it. If you wish to color a meerschaum, bear these few points in mind. Use a strong tobacco at first, shag for preference, Put a plug at the bottom of the bowl. Ordinarily the bottom of the bowl colors before the upper 'part, but this plug reverses the pro- cess. When the top of the pipe has become an ev, brown remove the plug. Don't smoke the meerschaum in a high wind or when out in the rain. The wind may color it unevenly, the rain will spot it. Don't let it get too hot, and be careful not to scratch it with your finger-nafls. The best pipe to smoke is a briar. Cl it out once a week by running acplece of string through the stem, and it will give you just as good a smoke and less trouble than a meer- schaum, clay, or calsbash. String makes a better pipe-cleaner than a feather, as it goes right through the stem and out at the bowl, whilst the feather comes back the same way as it enters. Whenever possible, scrape out ashes in preference to knocking the bowl against any hard substance, as constant knocking causes the bowl to erack., But don't serape avay all the carbon from inside the bowl. just leave a thin coating. Some smokers always light their cigarettes with wax vestas and their pipes with wooden matehes. The li- quid wax drips on to the tobacco and taints it. The unpleasant taste of a brand-new pipe can be banished by burning some grass in it. Snow and Timber, Few would imagine that the ab- sence of snow would double the price of timber. The greater part of the world's supply of common timber comes from the "forests of Canada, Seandinavia and Russia. All of these countries have a greater or less fall of snow. Snow is one of the best non-conductors of heat or cold in the world, and: when the fall is a foot deep a thermometer showing 60 de- grees on its surface will, if buried beneath the smow, rise to about 30 degrees. The snow, therefore, is an enormous blanket protecting 'the roots of the'trees from the intense cold, besides covering the warmth of the soil. A full-growy pine can stand almost any degreé of cold, but a young tree canndt do so. It might sprout during summer, but a snow- less winter would infallibly kill it. If, therefore, snow ceased, the enor- mouse timber supplies Of Northern Europe, Asia and America would disappear. A Free-Handed Prince, The following is told of the famous Prince of Conde: He left his son, aged nine years, 50 louis d'or to spend\while he himself was absent in Paris. On his return the boy came to him 'triumphantly, saying: "Papa, here is all the money safe. 1 have never teuched it once." The prince, without making any re: ply, took his son to the window and quietly emptied all the money out of the purse into the street. Then he sald: 5 "If you have neither virtue enough to give away your money nor spirit enough to spend It, alwayo Fo this for the future, that the poor may have a chance of it." \ The Armenian Alphabet. An Armenian girl goes to school at four or five years old, but before that she has probably learned her "letters," which is almost an educa- tion in itself, as the Armenian alpha- bet contains thirty-nine. She learns these letters from a small slab of wood on which they are printed \This slab is fastened to a handle, making ft something like a hair brash in shape. The Armenians boast that their formidable alphabet is so perfect as to give every sound known to any other nation. \ Bum Silk Before Buying. | Why did your last year's silk split and crack?
