the Hnvilsl such music!
Like the melcdlous whispers that
sometimes einitiafe from the \lham
bra.so graphically descriled by \\ ash
ington Irviug.
The music of the anvils! How de
liciously suggestive of a happy life iti
rural districts of the peaceful coun
try that we so well remember but
Which we failed to appreciate at it's
true worth. Hew delicicu-ly happy
were those days of our boyhood
when we had no cares but to pi ty

threatning antics of a chop axe wer*.
Unknown, but a healthy seasorud
hickory switch was administered
with more telling effect than som*-
tnodsrn Bquaintance* know how to
use a hammer on an anvil. How
melodiously sugestive of a rushing
business is the musical ring of the
anvils as the musiceminntts from the

I most nemarKaoie Hailstorm.
I The most wonderful hailstorm 00
Record as having occurred within the
United States in the last century was
that at Dubuque, la., June Id, LSB2.
It began as 2:33 p. in. and lasted but
thirteen minutes, but withiu that time
nail fell to the depth of three feet.
The hailstones, which weights! from an
•(Ounce to two aud oue-haif pounds,
’.■were of all kinds of fantastic shapes
find held rocks, sticks, frogs, etc.
Tho Camel.
Although long a capttve, and for
ag(*s perhaps, the most serviceable of
all the creatures which man has won
from the wilds, the camel is still only
partly domesticated, having never ac
quired even the small measure of af
fection for Ills master which we find
iu the other herbivorous animals
which have been Avon to the service
of man. The obedience which lie ren
ders is but a dull submission to in
evitable toll. The intelligence which
he shows Is very’ limited, and so far
us can be judged from the accounts of
those who have observed him there is
but little variation In his mental qua)
lties. Asa whole, the creature ap
pears to be innately the dullest and
least improvable of all our servitors.
"Old Moore."
•‘Old Moore," under whose name al
manacs and prophecies have been
appearing regularly for generations,
was not a charlatan. Ills name aahs
Henry Andrews. lie was a bookseller
of London, and, according to an old
year hook. “Ills prophecies were as
much laughed at by himself as by the
Worshipful Company of Stationers, for
whom lie manufactured'them. In order
to render Moore’s almanac salable
among the Ignorant, In whose eyes a
lucky hit covered a multitude of blun
ders.’' Andrews “had a very extraor
dinary genius for astronomy and was
greatly esteemed for his Integrity and
modesty by every scientific man who
was personally acquainted with him."
As Others See Us.
“And do tho Americans shine in
their conversation?” asks the inter
vleAver of the foreigner who has re
turned to his native land.
“Let me tell you.” replies the for
eigner. "In mixed company the ladies
assemble on one side of the room, and
all talk at mice about cooks and dress
es, and the men assemble at the other
side of the room and talk about auto
mobiles and money.”—New York Life.
Hi* Quest.
An Irishman whose wife was fond
•f moving from one house to another
was met by a friend the other morn
ing while walking behind a van load
of household goods and saluted with:
“Hello, Mick! Shifting again? Where
fniglit you be going tills time?" “I
don’t know, begorra,” said Mick. “I’m
following the furniture to find out.’’—
Kansas City Independent.
The Military Pope.
Pope Julius 11., who died in 1513,
was the first pope to allow his beard
to grow In order, it was said, to in
spire greater respect among the faith
ful. lie was called the military pope.
When Michael Angelo was making bis
status la* said to him, “Holy father,
shall I place a book in your hand?”
“No,” answered liis holiness, “a sword
rather. 1 know better bow to handle
It.”
Checks Private Enterprise.
Socialism in itself has been clearly
proved to be an evil, because It de
prives every human being of ordinary
human rights.
Government ownership of semipublic
utilities i; Socialism, but only a frac
tion part of It.
There Is evil and oppression in it.
as it stops the spirit of private enter
pristl. A stoppage of human, individ
ual effort is tln> effect of government
ownership, even in part.—Philadelphia
Item.
A Condition, Not a Theory.
The vigorous advocate of the plan of
municipal ownership and control must
base his arguments regarding honest
and economical management upon the
absolute morality -of political “heel
ers," and us he cannot be morally hon
est in suc'-i advocacy he cannot rea
sonably expect the people to exercise
great faith In his theories. It Is not
vrhat men might do or could do. ’ It Is
what they do that Is impressive.—

An Interrogation.
While dining with friends In Cam
bridge, Bishop Phillips Brooks de
scribed with much enthusiasm n col
lege service he hail recently attended.
"It was an inspiration to see all those
young men siugiug so heartily. Es
pecially they seemed to throw their
whole sou It- into the hymn:
"Am Ia soldier of the cross,
A follower of the I-uvh?
Even Dr. X., the president of the col
lege. sang as if he felt tbe eouiagion
of inspiration.” “Dr. X. sang that?” 1
broke In an Incredulous listeucr. “Does !
Dr. X. believe that?" “Oh, no,” re- !
plied Bishop Brooks quickly. “He was '
merely asking for Information.**
An Act of Heroism.
On one occasion General Lee, while
making an bbservatiou, stepped to a
somewhat exposed position to secure
a better view and thus stood for a
moment at personal risk when General
Grncie, who was in tbe party, quietly
stepped before General Lee without
obscuring his view and remained thus
covering the body of his superior until
the fleldglass was lowered nud the
danger over—a simple, quiet act but
showing cool bravery aud a self sacri
ficing spirit.
