IMtow • State.iuan’H Kn>ti c Protege Wu | Helped on Way to Fame. 4 ’The off horse has lost a shoe from the right fore foot, ’ ’ said the coachman, as he drew up opposite a wayside black smith shop. “Shall I stop and have it replaced?" “By all meant," replied the owner of the curricle, Senator Aaron Burr of New York, “it -is always the proper thing to keep your horses well shod, and, besides, I am only too glad of a chance to stretch my legs after so long a drive. While the smith it busy I will stroll to the top of on® of these beauti ful Ulster county hills." When he returned half an hour later, he happened to glance at the side of a barn near the shop and saw with sur prise an accurate though hurriedly drawn charcoal picture of his curricle and'hbreas. “Who drew thutt" he inquired. “That little frenzy head yonder," replied the blacksmith, pointing to a boy in homespun who was chopping wood in the dooryard opposite as if bis whole mind was occupied with his task. “HaHoo, my lad," called Burr, and when the little fellow looked up with the air of one who has been caught in some misdemeanor headded pleasantly, “If ever] ou wSnt to change your occu pation and see life, just put a clean shirt in your bundle and go to this ad dress in New York," and he crossed i the road to hand the boy a slip of paper. The team was soon .on its horteward way, and in a short time the incident passed from the Crowded mind of Aaron Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at breakfast, a servant brought him a pack age containing a homemade clean shirt and said that a boy at the door had asked her to .deliver it as an all suffi cient introduction. But "the senator could not understand itasigniiicance, so he sent sot the boy, whom he at once recognized as the youthful genius of the rbddsidte With all his faults, Burr was a gen erous man at heart, and he spared neither pains nor expense to give the youth' the best of instruction in his chosen profession. From an artistic point of view’the student became very, successful ag the great painter Vander lyn, although he lived a life of poverty. He painted the portraits of Aaron Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from Which were taken the fine engravings by which we know them. He died near the spot where he drew the picture of the waiting team. His career is a noble monument to the better side of the na ture of his benefactor, a nature not wholly devoid of sweetness and light, although darkened by frequent clouds through his mature life and finally eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely selfislMimbition. —Atlanta Constitution. GOLFING PHILOLOGY. Derivation of Curloua Terms Which Be long to the Oome. To the enthusiastic golfer the game is never out of season. Fitted with “arc tic" goloshes and a warm knitted waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on many a day which appears inclement to the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard of snow and ice is natural when one comes to look up the derivation of golf ing terms. Many of the words come di rectly from the Icelandic* languages, others have synonyms in Gaelic or Swedish. / The tee, or little nodule of gravel or earth from which the golfer strikes off his ball, at the beginning of each link, is derived from “tia," an Icelandic verb signifying “to point out." ' Again, “golf" itself evidently comes from the Scandinavian “kolf," a club, the Gaelic form being “colb" and the Icelandic form being “kolfr" (a clapper of a bell or bulb). The “links" come straight from the Swedish “lynka," meaning a “twist” or “crook;" hence its application to the windings of the coast, the sandy, barren ground called “links" in Scotland. To "put” (pronounced “putt") comes from the;Gaelic “put,” signifying to push or throw, as when the useful “put ter” propels the golf ball from the “putting green” into the hole. The “lofter" is derived from the Ice landic “loft”—that is, shy or air—a Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer. One Veteran Without a Pension. I sat on a hill with a sergeant who knew history and horses. He remem bered Pansy, which had served 16 years in the troop and a first rate ol,d horse then, but a d——d inspector with no soul came browsing around one day and condemned that old horse. Government gat a measly |lo—or something like that. Tbl» »n along fe» a time, when <Mie day they ware trooping up some lonely vality, and, behold, there stood Pdrisy,-as thin as a snake, tied by a wickieup. He greeted the troop with joyful neighs. The soldiers asked the captain to be allowed to shoot him, but of course he said no. I could Dot learn if he winked when be said it The col umn wound over the hill, a carbine rang from its rear, and Pansy lay doWn in the dust without a kick. Death is better than Indian for a horse. The thing was not noticed at the time, but made a world of fuss afterward, though how ft all came out the sergeant did not develop, nor was it necessary.— Frederic Remington in Harper’s Maga zine. Delicate Xaetrumenta, Some of ths~ delicate instruments in the Toronto magnetic observatory in fended to measure fluctuations in the earth's magnetism have been greatly disturbed by the electric currents flow ing through the earth from the adjacent trolley lines. Accordingly these instru ments are to be removed to a point nine miles from the city and two miles from any possible trolley route. The records Os the Toronto observatory date back more than half a century and are the most valuable of their kind ever obtain ed on this continent. ■ A —, —— -p- LEWIS CARROLL; two Wiitaly Different PcrMraalith* Wwp pett ©p In Dm Mmu In St. Nicholas there are two tributes to the kite Bev. Charles Lutwidgo Dodgson, dear to a generation ot young readers ae Lewis Carroll, author of “Alice In Wod derland.” An editorial note says: . Surely two names represent two very different men—one an English clergyman and for 26 years lecturer on mathematics at Christ Church college, Oxford, author of many volumes on his special subject, honored by his fellows, and peer of Eng land’s distinguished men of learning; the other the merriest, quaintest of story tell- , era, whose name la known everywhere by thousands of English speaking readers, young and old. Dear Lewis Carroll, bright, delightful, preposterous, gifted with a wonderful imagination, yet so modest and shy that he told almost in a whisper the story of “Alice In Wonderland” that made all England shake with laughter. “Through the Looking Glass’’ was issued, one may say, as a profound public secret, and he sent bashfully, secretly, into the world “The Hunting of the Snark,” one of the jolllest, most audacious little books ever written. To the very last their author shrank from any mentionof these delight ful works as though they were an offense to his other self—that profound, serious scholar whose discourses, lectures and be wildering mathematical problems would have sent Lewis Carroll scampering into the first hiding place iu Wonderland. One day, about Ten years ago, the writer, accompanied by a friend, stood in the large somber study of Mr. Dodgson in Christ Church college. As wo entered the room wo could see at first only the heavy tatde, with piles of pamphlets and great leather volumes upon it, and around it books, books and more books— iionderous and worm eaten (wo felt sure they were worm eaten). Thon a slight but stately* figure rose from somewhere in the shadow -behind an open volume. With a.nervous little cough he came forward, bowing so stiffly and with so slight a show of sur prised delight at our coming that for an instant we felt awed and subdued. Next we realized that he was bashful, actually timid! But, later, bis -gentle voice, his grave, kindly eyes and his gracious words satisfied us that he really was the man whose genial letter, crossing the seas, had made us regard him as a friend. Among other subjects, he spoke pleas antly of St. Nicholas and of young Amer icans, but when in the most delicate man ner possible we ventured an allusion to “AMce In Wonderland” instantly his brow clouded—there camo a sudden reserve of manner, a silent, dignified “Spare me!” that changed the conversation like magic. Wo realized that We were speaking to the Rev. Charles L. Dodgson of Oxford uni versity, England, and not to Lewis Car roll, author of “Alice’s Adventures” and “ Through the Looking Glass. ” Yes, it was the great thinker—the scholar and mathe matician—whom wo were visiting and who when our pleasant cajl was over solemnly bade us good by. And there was no thought of the March Hare or of Fa ther William in our minds as we weht softly down the dark stairway, out into the sunlight of the grand old quadrangle of Christ Church college. And yet, do you know, wo felt inwardly sure that in some brisk jabberwocky way Mr. Dodgson secretly loved little Alice and her adventures and at heart was not sor ry, after all, that he had written them. Besides the editorial the following poem, by Abbie Farwell Brown, is printed, dedi cated to Lewis Carroll: r This was that bravo adventurer Upon an unknown sea, Who found the far, fair His galleon by an eager band Os little children featly manned, AU laughing out in glee. Far, far away his vessel sailed. Throughout a single night, Until it reached that magic shore No man had over seen before— The children’s land for evermore He gave them as their right. And since that voyage venturesome On every night and day That pilot with a shipful new Os happy children for his crew— Os grown up folk a favored few— Has sailed the Wonderway. And if upon tomorrow’s ship No pilot should appear, 6o many children everywhere Have'learncd from him the thoroughfare To Wonderland, they still will dare 2 To sail without a fear. But, oh, their little hearts will ache, And, oh, their eyes will dim, And, as the ship sails mile by mile Each child will sit a little while And, thinking, wiU forget to smile— For sailing without him. The Original Navel Orange Tree. ' Over In the orangery at the agricultural department is the parent tree of all the naval oranges in the United States. Every orchard of navel oranges in Florida, Lou isiana, Colorado, Arizona and California came from it. And the shipments of thia kind of fruit from California alone have reached 10,000 carloads a year. This par ticular tree, which is still bearing, came from Bahia, Brazil, but is said to be a native of southern China. William Saun ders, the horticulturist of the department, having heard that they had a seedless orange in Brazil, sent down for a plant. When it came it was carefully nurtured and grew with surprising vigor. The sec ond year, when Mr. Saunders was on his way to the agricultural department one morning he picked up in the gutter back of the wholesale fruit market on Louisiana avenue a pocketful of ordinary decayed oranges. He carried them ”to his room, extracted the seeds and planted them in the hothouse. They produced a bunch of thrifty little plants, upon which he graft ed buds from the Brazilian tree and after ward sent them to friends in California and Florida who were engaged in the Orange business. Mr. Saunders thinks that the quality of the navel orange is de teriorating and that thepe are better grades of fruit.—Chicago Record. * • 1 ■ _ ‘ Connecticut Newspapers.

Brightened Up and Resold, and Sometlmea They Are Broken Up For the K Old Gold In Them. “Old False Teeth Bought.” * This is the sign which attracts the attention of visitors to the office of a certain dealer in dental and optical top plies who does business in Chicago. ■ ' “It’s queer how people are attracted by that sign," said the ownef of the establishment. “I neviar intended it to be prominent, because .there are other’ lines in my business I am more interest ed in pushing, but it seems to fairly force itself into the minds of everybody who comes here, no matter what his mission may be, and ‘old false teeth bought* is the only thing they can think or talk about. '“There’s nothing nudctdcuA in deal ing in secondhand false tefeth, although I will admit the sign is an unusual one. It is a legitimate branch of our trade. With ordinary usage false teeth don’t wear out and are just as good at the end of a few years as they were when new. The teeth themselves are valuable, and the gold work used in binding even the commonplace kind together is oostly. People are forever getting new ideas about their teeth and keep the dentists busy changing or building over their artificial molars. Then, you remember that a whole lot of people who wear false teeth are dying everysggy. ' ■ ‘Ten years ago there was no way of utilizing this old material. It was all dead waste, so to speak. But now it is different, and people are more econom ical. False teeth, especially if -heavily set with gold plates, are worth too much money to be oast aside when new ones are ordered or to be buried in a grave. Thus it comes that a trade of consider able proportions has sprung up in this line, and oldjalse teeth are a staple in this market” “Who brings them here to sell and what class of customers buy them?\ „ “Small dentists who are hard up financially and lack the inclination or facilities to clean up ant build over the discarded sets, which they are sharp enough to retain from their patrons, are the main source of supply. Sometimes they male their pa'trons a little allow ance for the old sets of teeth, but they get out of this whenever possible on the plea that they are worthless. Then we poor folk who cannot afford to wear false teeth any longer come in here occasionally and offer them for sale. Undertakers? Well, that is a fea ture of the trade I don’t care to talk about. I might be misunderstood, and some people are so squeamish, you know. “Why, one woman came in here yes terday to bny an opera glass; She look ed like a good customer and was inspect ing soine high priced glasses when I stopped to wait upon a man who fre quently brings in some fine teeth. She saw me take a set from him and pay for them, and then, noticing probably his somber clothes and an end of black crape sticking out of one of his side pockets, -she flounced away in a fury without a word of explanation. It is hard to please everybody, and as times are hard I have to be very careful." “But what about your sales? Who takes these old grinders and incisors from you?” a class of. men who make a business of working over the sets. When the outfit is in reasonably good shape, it is given a thorough .cleansing, brightened up, and then re sold to dentists who have a cheap pat ronage. A little tinkering will make them fit after a fashion in the mouths of people who want to make a show of false teeth at small cost. Where the sets are not good enough to be used entire' they are broken up, the gold either melted down or Bavefl.ta.ho remodeled, and the teeth themselves remounted as they are needed for patients. It’s a good thing for poor people, for many of them are thus enabled to get passably fair false teeth at a nominal price, when otherwise they would have to go with out, owjpg to the great expense. Excuse me while I wait upon this woman. ” When The Inter Ocean man left the establishment; the merchant was dick ering with an ample proportioned Af rican “aunty” for a double set of teeth with heavy gold plates, which she said she had found in a hotel where she worked as chambermaid. “Der genman* don’ go to ’at ’ors pital, ” said annty. “E’s wuz so sick when dey tak* ’im way he don’ olar forgot ’is teet’, an I doan* ’spec* he’ll wan’ ’em any more.
