Disraeli and tli Father. ; Lord Dufferin used to tell the follow lug story about his mother and Dial raeii: j My mother was anions the first o Disraeli's acquaintances to recognize ins great ability, and she saw a erea deal of him when at Mrs. Norton's when he was a young man about town -She did not see very much of him after he had once entered upon his po litical career. Here, however, is a lit tie anecdote which is very character! tic and amusing. My mother had a great admiration for the "Curiosities of Literature" and was anxious to makd the acquaintance of Disraeli's father but there was a difficulty about this, aa at. the moment he was not on good terms with hia father. However, he appeared" one day with his father in tow. As soon as they were both seated Disraeli turned around and, looking at his father as if lie were a piece of ornamental i china ald to my mother: 'Madam, I have brought you my father. I have become reconciled to my father on two eondl tlons. The first was that he should come to see you and the second that he snould pay my debts." i j OUR IGNORANCE. That It Is Very Real tlie Thine TVC Don't Know Prove. j After all are we not still ignorant of much which we feel we ought tcj understand 7k Apart from the great Jaws' of electricity, light and heat about which we know something, but certainly not all, are-we not almost hopelessly Ignorant of some of the laws which govern the lives of animals? Dd "we know, for instance, what is the law which makes It possible for a bee car ried five or six miles from her) home, blind in a dark box, to find her way back 'to the hive? What is the sense exercised by the antennae of the vir ion moth which, set out in a muslin . box on ft lawn, attracts suitors from "woodlands scattered away irf all the country round ? What is the attraction -felt or choice decided upon by the tendril of the climbing plant j which urns aside from the smooth wall tc catch at and wraparound the nail ot he Tedge orTheprojection which Is tc befp If upward? All that Is unknown, jhardly even guessed at, and If there is :bo great an ignorance of what can be seen, is It logically to be argued thai there Is not a greater ignorance ol what is unseen? One thing at jeast it certain the reality of that ignorance. London Spectator. i An lavenior's Lost Dime. Once an inventor sought to transmute ideas Into gold, says the New York! Jfews He had worked in a small, three ided shop in Canal street, which was Chen an uptown section of the city. The tnan was Joseph Francis, and the de- vice upon which he worked was a non- rapslzable lifeboat. One day be found iilmself in need of a bolt. He also be gan to feel the demoralizing ravages of hunger. He had but 10 cents. His de sire was for the bolt only, but he real Ized that bread also was necessary tc finish his work. Suddenly he hit upos -a compromise. He remembered that "there was a hardware s!irp away up 1e "the country above Fifty -ninth 'street "where he could get the bolt for 5 cents Late at night he returned to his shop "With the bolt and a loaf oi bread. He worKea until sunrise, wnen the boat was completed. lie had built the Fran els lifeboat. On its first trial it saved 5CK) lives. ren Plotnre of Henry Clay. An Englishman who traveled in the United States In the early part of the last century visited Washington and described Henry Clay as follows: "He is tall, thin and not a very muscular man; his gait is stately, but swinging, and his countenance, while it indicates genius, denotes dissipation. Though there Is want of rapidity and fluency in his elocution, yet he has ai great deal of, fire and vigor in his expres sion. When he speaks he is full oil animation and earnestness; his face brightens, his eye beams with add! tlonal luster and his whole figure in dicates that he is entirely occupied with the subject on which his elo quence is employed." What Is an IdeT "What is an ide?" It is a natural pitfall for modern generations, j Even JBislwt Lytton allowed one of his Ron ,m&t characters to say, "It stands ixed ?fr the ninth ide of August," altTIoUgb jhe must have. known that "ides" is a ; plural without a singular. Why the! 2 Romans called the 15th of March, May, . July, October and the 13th of .every other month the ides they do not seem -to have known for certain themselves : Some .thought it meant the halfway day , jf the month, from an Etruscan word meaning "to divide," but mod ern philology, digging Into Sanskrit, ?r has suggested that it means the bright! - time of the month, full moon. London Notes and'Queries. ! ! - Wolt CameS and Bear. ! ' The only two animals besides the - wolf for which domesticated animals never seem. .able to conquer their aver- sion are the- camel and the bear. The former is a case of pure natural aver - sion. It has been noticed that when the camels in. a traveling menagerie ' have been tethered at any particular spot horses will shy and refuse to go near it, even after the camels have gone on their way with the rest of the show to another town.

Bis; Debt A mighty small proportion of the peo ple of the United States know that the state of Arkansas owes the famous Smithsonian institution, in Washing ton, nearly $2,000,000, which it has not the faintest intention of paj'in.. In 1S3S, the first year of the reign of the late Queen Victoria, the United States received on account of the Smithon bequest, the details of which are too well known to require repetition, a sum aggregating $500,000. A good pro portion of this was by act of congress invested hi bonds of the state of Ar kansas. Not a cent of the principal or Interest of this ever has been, paid. The bonds now are moldcring in the vaults of the United States treasury in Washington, with coupons untouched by the scissors. And there they prob ably will remain for all time. The fed eral government was forced to make good Arkansas delinquency and appro priate money for the inauguration and maintenance of the institution which is now famous all over the country Brooklyn Eagle. Waiter and Tins. A competent waiter is not a fool by a long shot, and no man is so liberal at any other moment of his life as when ho is feeding well. A first class serving man at table can wheedle a quarter or half dollar out of even a stingy blather skite by some delicate attention, by showing Just the least bit of interest in his especial welfare. A German lieu tenant in hard lines Is waiting In a swell hetel here. His tips amount to $10 a day. He is Incognito for the pres ent. University graduates could do quite as well. The principal trouble la that waiting is regarded as too servile, too menial, smacking too much of slav ery. But good waiters make valuable friends and earn several times as much money as bank clerks and shop sales men. And the calling might be digni fied. New York Press. Xatural Preference. Miss Violet bad made a rapid tour f the European continent and found little to Impress her, either favorably or otherwise. ' Ton say yoa saw all you wanted to of Italy." said a friend on MissVftr let's return to her native heath to Kansas. "What did you think of the lazzaronl? "Don't talk to me about it," said Miss Violet briskly. "I'd rather bnre a good dish of plain American maca roni baked with cheese any time. Hymns In Tneaters.

At'the close of the engage nent the great actor was deeply touched by the singing of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," rendered in the most reverent manner. " '" ",w? t ..The Man With a ftioooy. Don't make fun of the man with a hobby. It may be that that very hobby will be the means of the world getting something of great good. All people that have contributed to the sum xf human knowledge had a hobby. The man who ranks as an Inventor had a hobby once; the minister who gets up in his pulpit has his hobby; the man who sells you goods has the same. In fact, those that do anything at ail have a hobby. You may call it by some oth er name, but the hobby' is still there Terrell TranscriDt. Followed Her Instructions.' Mrs. N. was giving instructions to her liew servant": "Before removing the soup plates, Mary, always ask each person if he or she would like any more. Very good, madam." Next day Mary, respectfully bowing to one of the guests, inquired, "WouW the gentlemen like some more soup?" , "Yes, please." "There isn't any left." Chicago Jour - Bad Teeth and Cancer. Walter Whitehead, the well known English surgeon, believes it possible! that cancer may be due to bad teeth. Addressing the students of the r Vic toria Dental hospital, he said that to drain, trap and ventilate a house for a man with bad teeth was waste of money, for he polluted the purest air as he breathed It and contaminated the most wholesome food as he ate it. i- Point Not Well Taken. ; Mrs. Jenner Lee Ondego I don't see why they call it "grand opera" when lfs In English. It isn't grand opera when you can understand what the singers are saying. Mrs. Selldom Holme Why, bless you, you can't un derstand them any better when they sing in English than when they sing hi Italian! Chicago Tribune. Remorseless Proarress. ; In every great business the chief trouble lsto find a powerful and pion eering staff. It Is. frequently achieved in these days, and especially In Ameri ca, by a series of remorseless experi ments. One person ater another gets his' chance, and nine-tenths of the num ber are flung upon the street. British Weekly. A Dream. "I found I had saved tip a thousand dollars without pinching myself."

It appears that the monarchies of bees, well governed as they seem to be, are afflicted nevertheless by organized criminal classes sneak thieves and highway robbers. Some of these robber bees go in strong bands to pillage an ! are able to storm and sack a hive. Aft er the slaughter they carry all the pro visions home.

JPeannta For Ilorses and Mules. The Arkansas experiment station has fed the whole peanut plant to horses and mules doing ordinary farm work, The animals did as well on this ration alone as they did before and after on the ordinary rations of corn and bay and in the summer the advantage teemed to be decidedly in favor of the peanut.

A curiosity is known in the tropics as the sand bark tree and also as the monkey's dinner bell. It has a round, hard shelled fruit about the size of an orange, which when ripe and dry bursts open with a sharp noise like the report of a pistol. Its Juice Is poisonous. The South American trum pet tree might furnish a band with musical instruments, Inasmuch as it? hollow branches are utilized for horns and also for drums. Great Inducements.
