BARBOUR'S BIG BOWLDER.
According to a story now going
tho rounds, William Barbour, multi
millionaire of Morristown, N. ' J.,
.came to, the United States from
England fifty years ago, a poor boy.
Walking along the roads .of rural
New Jersey, he came to a big bowl
tier just at the noon hour. He sat
an it, ate his frugal lunch and
dreamed of the future. Then he
started out to hunt for work and
found it. He grew rich and forgot
all about the old bowlder until a
few weeks ago, when he fell to
thinking how it had inspired him
with its strength and size and rug
gedness and how on that day so
long ago he decided that when he
grew to be a man he would have it
for a monument. So he journeyed
to it, arranged to buy it from the
owners of the land on which it lay,
and then commenced to negotiate
with a railroad company to have it
transported to his home. He was
told that no car was big enough to
hold it. "Build one big enough,"
said he. "and I'll pay for it." This
was done, and the bowlder was load
ed. Then it was found that the
bridges were too Iqw to permit its
passage, and its owner was com
pelled to give reluctant assent to its
being chopped down to the right
size. It was linallv delivered at his
home, at a cost of f? 10,000. Wash

Duels end Doctors.
The men who have been urging
the par-sage of more stringent anti
dueling laws in Austria recently
made an appeal to the physicians
to aid the cause by refusing to act
for friends on the "hold of honor."
"If we cannot prevail uiKn surgeons
to withhold their co-operation,'' a
writer in an Austrian paper says,
"we shall endeavor to have them co
responsible with the principals. Men
light, they say, to kill, and yet, no
matter how fearlessly the duelists
draw their swords or pistols, they
always have a thought of the sur
geon who will help them if things
should go wrong. Keep the sur
geons away, so that the wounded
man must depend on his second for
first aid in case of injury, and he
will think again before he lights."
An Amiable Husband.
During the recent bearing in Lon
don of the divorce suit brought by
the daughter of the late Sir John
Blundell Maple against her Gorman
husband, Baron von Kekhardstein,
one witness testified respecting the
baron's neglect of his wealth v wife,
who lavished money upon him. The
witness reported this conversation
between the couple, which she over
heard, "Will you give me one hour
a day of your company pleaded
the baroness. The baron replied la
conically, "Not one." "I want you
to be seen walking or driving with
me," said the wife. The baron de
clined to make any concessions.
"Just one hour a week," urged the
baroness at last. "No, it would
spoil my career," declared the
baron.
Alias Wat His Real Name.
- In the South Orange (N. J.) po
lice court recently a prisoner on bit
ing asked his name responded,
"Alias Shaheen."
"Aliases don't go in this court,"
said Justice Roll, with some asperi
ty. "What'B your real name ?"
"Alias Shaheen," reiterated the
accused.
Of course no police justice would
ever submit tamely to such foolish
ness as that, and the offender was
standing face to face with trouble
when a police officer explained that
he was a Syrian and told the literal
truth about his name. Much molli
fied, Justice Roll extracted $5 from
'Alias for noddling towels without a
license and allowed him to go on his
way rejoicing. Law Notes.
Wooden Flywheel.
After an accident to a flywheel in
a large European electric station the
superintendent designed and had
constructed a flywheel of wood
which ha a diameter of eighty-five
feat and a rim width of ten feet.
The thickness of the rim is about
twelve inches, and it is made up of
forty-four thioknosees of beech
planks with staggered joints. The
Awards were glued together and then
bolted. The inside consists of a
double wheel, the twenty-four
spokes of which are faflteaed -to two
hubs. Spokes and hubs are operated
at geventy-six wohitions a minute,
which corresponds to a peripheral
ppeed at the rim of 138 feet a sec

At a recent military enrollment in
Baden, Germany, of 604 young men
liable to service only 20 per cent
were found to bo- up to the physical
fltandard. The peasants of this
country were at one time among the
, most robust in the empire, but ow
. ing to the dearnesa of meat and the
.'fact that the, milk, which once was
a staple article oHiood, ia now sold
to ; cheese factories their physique

The Boy That Does Not Have to
Be Told.
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon,
One of the rarest qualities in a
servant in the house is the doing of
things that need to be done with
out being told. One of the finest
qualities in a workman is this
quality. Young men working
their way through college are in
valuable if they have this quality.
A tool is left out on the lawn; there
is a rail off the fence; there is a
lock broken from a door; there is a
window pane gone somewhere. The
boy who tends to these things be
cause they need attending to with
out specific directions is the boy
who, other things being equal, is
going to be in demand when he
gets into the great world, and it is
the attention to little things and
the habit of observation," which
sees what needs to be done and
then does it, which makes exceed
ingly useful men and women.
There will always be a position
for such persons. There will always
be a call to come up higher. It is
in one sense a small thing to do
these little things without orders,
but it is the doing of them great
captains, great engineers, great
artists, great architects, great work
ers in any department, and it is
the absence of this quality that
makes commonplace men and wo
men, who will always have to live
under the dominion of petty or
ders, men and women who do no
thing unless they are told to do it.
It is this quality which makes
volunteers in church work, and
the invaluable men and women
who do not have to be stood over.
They are the joy of the pastor's
heart; they are tfie persons who
do not have to be watched.

Tell The Truth.

Say! What do you reckon
would happen if everybody would
tell the trnth for 30 days! There
would be more assignments than
ever heard of and no courts or
lawyers to collect the little surplus.
Love's greatest miracle seems to
lie in making the girl see genius
in the man of her choice.
Nature must feel somewhat
ashamed when she sees what an
ordinary drug clerk can do in the
complexion line.
It is a strange custom that drives
a man to pretending that he enjoys
classical music.
Nature and her works probably
would never have been noticed if
people hadn't taken to falling in
love.
A bigot is a man who holds the
same opinion of your opinions as
you hold of his.
Love is mighty apt to get lost
trying to find its way through a
crowd of relatives.
Considering how nice heaven Is
said to be, isn't it funny how peo
ple like to stick to this old earth.
The more a man actually has in
this world the less pretending he
has to do to get through it.
Duty, like most other things, is
nicer to read about in books than
it is to do.
