HIS GOOD GUESS.
/• ' " ' —r-. •
How tho Sehoolmaotor Caleulatod tho
WOiflht of tho pig.
Men wonder at what they do not
understand, but a seeming marvel
often becomes absurdly simple
when it is explained. Many years
ago a schoolmaster in the course of
his travels had occasion to stay for
a day or two at a country tavern.
As he sat in the public room with
a doien other persons, evidently na
tives of the place, there came along
a man with a fat hog that he was
driving to market. Leaving the
animal outside, he entered the inn
and joined the little company. Sev
eral of the latter went to the win
dow to look at the hog.
“That’s a fine pig you’ve got
there, neighbor,” remarked one.
“Do you know what he’ll weigh ?”
“Yes, Sir,” returned the pig’s
owner. “I had him on the scales
just before I started out. What do
you guess he’ll weigh?”
The questioner, thus questioned
in turn, looked at the pig carefully
and made a guess. The owner turn
ed to the rest of the company and
said:
“Will not somebody else give a
guess? Just for the fun of it let
everybody have a try.”
The proposal met with favor.
One after another the men eyed the
pig critically and after due con
sideration gave their estimates of
his weight. The schoolmaster, who
seemed deeply absorbed in his own
thoughts, alone took no part in the
contest. But he was not to be let
off.
“Say, friend,” the owner ot the
pig urged, “aren’t we going to hear
from you ?”
The pedagogue, who perhaps had
never in his life looked attentively
at a pig, rose, went to the window
and gazed out at this one. He de
liberated for a moment, then, with
modest hesitation, named a certain
number of pounds.
At hearing it the eyes and mouth
of the pig’s owner opened wide in
astonishment.
“Waal, I swan!” he exclaimed.
“You’re the champion! All the
others guessed either over or under,
but you’ve hit it almost to a pound.”
Every one stared at the school
master admiringly, but no one was
shrewd enough to tell how he had
been able to make so good a guess.
It had not been a lucky hit, although
he could have done quite as well
without seeing the pig. He knew
nothing about swine, but he knew a
good deal about figures. Having
heard the guesses of eleven more or
less expert judges, he had added to
gether their figures, divided the
sum by eleven and “guessed” the
result.—Youth’s Companion.
He Was Only Beating Time.
The conductor of the band was a
ragtime enthusiast. Violently ho
beat time, leaning far over, now to
ward one instrument, now' toward
| another, stamping his foot in his
; paroxysms of musical fervor and
j seeming about to spring from his
! box and carry the excitement of his
own soul to one or another of the
perspiring musicians.
Mike followed his every move
with fascinated eyes until the close
of the melody; then with a disap
pointed air lie started to leave.
“How did ye like it, Mike?” asked
Jerry.
“Come away, Jerry,” said Mike in
disgust.
“Oi’ve been watchin’ him for half
an hour, and he hasn’t hit one of
thim yet!”
Napoleon Persuaded.
A mother sought the pardon of
her son from the first Napoleon.
The emperor said it was his second
offense and justice demanded his
death.
“I don’t ask for justice,” said the
mother. “I plead for mercy.”
“But,” said the emperor, “he
does not deserve mercy.”
“Sire,” cried the mother, “it
would not be mercy if he deserved
it, and mercy is all I ask for!”
“Well, then,” said Napoleon, “I
will have mercy!”
And her son was saved.
The Father of All Novela.
A great branch of literature, un
doubtedly the most widely popular
and one in which England showed
the way tq the world, is the novel.
In the year 1740 readers were de
lighted with a new kind of book, a
prose romance not of legend, but
of their own day and manners. It
was the pioneer novel, was called
“Pamela,” the work of Samuel
Richardson, a London printer, and
the great success it met with soon
brought forth a host of others.
A Good Laugh.
Every hearty laugh tends to pro
long life, as it makes the blood Sow
more rapidly and gives a new and
different stimulus to all the organs
of the body from what is in force at
the other times. The saying "Laugh
and grow fat” has therefore a foun
dation in fact
