^ REPAID THE LOAN.
At Least That Waa What th* Old Tims
Highwayman Called It.
The fourth Earl Stanhope when
on hie way homeward late one dark
night waB held up by the most gen
tlemanly of highwaymen, who pre
ferred hiB request for money or the
nobleman’s life in quite the nicest
way. It happened that Lord Stan
hope had not any money with him
and was disinclined to yield the al
ternative.
“Your watch, then,” suggested
the gentleman at the opposite end
of the pistol. The watch, the earl
explained, was dear to him. He
valued it at 100 guineas and would
not surrender it. “What I will do,”
he said, “is to bring and deposit in
this tree the worth of the watch in
money, and you can call and get it
tomorrow night.”
“Done, m’ lord,” said the high
wayman.
The law knew nothing about this
arrangement, and the earl did as
he had promised. He placed the
100 guineas where the highwayman
might at his leisure collect it. And
there, so far as he knew, the mat
ter ended.
Years afterward he attended a
great banquet in the city nnd found
himself pleasantly entertained by
an extremely well known man whose
signature was good for a sum in
several figures. Next day came to
Lord Stanhope a letter inclosing
the sum of 100 guineas. Accom
panying it was a note begging his
acceptance of a loan granted some
years previously to the man who
now forwarded it.
That loan, said the letter, had en
abled the sender to gain a new start
in life, to make a fortune and to
renew acquaintance at dinner on
the previous night with his lord
ship. The city magnate and the
highwayman of earlier days were
one and the same. —London Stand

A Plarft That Coughs.
All have read of carnivorous
plants, of laughing plants and of
plants that weep, hut who has
heard of a plant that coughs? There
is the authority of a French bota
nist, however, for the statement
that a plant in various tropical
regions actually possesses the power
to cough in the most approved man
ner. The fruit of this plant re
sembles the common broad bean.
It appears that the coughing plant
is something of a crank, that it easi
ly works itself into a rage and that
it has a curious horror of all dust.
As soon as a few grains of dust are
deposited on its leaves the air cham
bers that cover their faces and are
the respiratory organs of the plant
become filled with gas, swell and
end by driving out the gas with a
slight explosion and a sound that
resembles so much the cough of a
child suffering from a cold as to
carry a most uncanny sensation to
the one beholding the phenomenon.
—Chicago Heeord-Herald.
Origin of “Firewater.”
The first whisky or intoxicant of
inferior quality was distilled in
England and brought to America in
large barrels, but in transporting it
j overland it was found more con
! venient to divide it into small kegs.
The traders soon became aware of
the fact that by diluting the whis
ky with water more furs could be
obtained. This was practiced for
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on a fire
would cause it to flame up, whereas
had the whisky been diluted the
fire would be quenched. It was by
this simple experiment that the
term “firewater” became a common
word among the Indians. A chief
who had experienced the bad ef
fects of whisky among his people
said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts of wildcats and the
tongues of women from the effects
it produced.
Cheeky, Indeed.
“1 hear,” said Lou to his friend
Dick, whom lie happened to meet
one morniiu', “that Maude has bro
ken her engagement with you.”
“Yes,” answered Dick; “it’s true.”
“Well, I’m sorry, old man. Why
did she break it?”
“Why, merely because I stole a
kiss,” said Dick.
“What!” cried Lou. “Why, she
must be crazy to object to having
her fiance steal a kiss from her.”
“Well,” explained Dick, “the
trouble was I didn’t steal it from
her.”—Lippincott’s.
Metaphysics. -
Oliver Wendell Holmes was a
classmate of Dr. Clarke at Harvard,
and, according to the reminiscences
of the Intter, the Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table was as witty then
as later. One day the two were
talking of metaphysics, when the
bright tongued little great man ex
claimed: ‘Til tell you, James, what ,
1 think metaphysics is like. It is
like a man splitting a log. When it
is done he has two more to split I” i
LOOKING IN' A MIRROR.
The Way to, See Yourself ae Others
Really See You.
Did you ever see yourself as oth
;rs see you? You have looked in a
mirror, of course, and have seen an
mage that you took to be an exact
luplicate of yourself, and you have
supposed that this looked to you ex
rctly as you appeared to any one
jlse.
But is this so? If you are in
dined to persist in believing it, try
dosing your right eye next time
pou look in a mirror and see which
one your reflection closes. Mso
see if your hair appears to be parted
an the side you have always sup
posed it to he. Extend your right
hand and see if your image does not
ifreet you with the left. But if this
fails to convince you, hold a printed
page before the glass and see what
progress you can make in decipher
ing the unfamiliar looking lines of
‘mirror writing” you see in the re
flection.
As is well known, an object and
its reflection in a plane mirror are
not facsimiles of each other, but
bear the same relation as the right
hand to the left; so with a single
mirror it is impossible to see your
self just as the world sees you, for
your right side will appear as the
left and vice versa. With a double
reflection at two mirrors, however,
the image is again reversed, and
then appears in every way identical
with the object. The most con
venient way to accomplish this
double reflection is to take two mir
rors with straight edges and hold
them in contact and at right angles
to each other. On looking into
such a double mirror you will see
yourself just as you are.
jviumpiu runeciiuus ui iwu ui
more surfaces liave many interest
ing applications. With two mirrors
facing each other on opposite walls
a “torchlight procession” is formed
by the repeated reflections of a sin
gle candle or lamp. This is a very
sensitive test, too, for the parallel
ism and planeness of the two mir
rors, for a departure from this con
dition will be detected by curvature
or irregularity of the line of lights.
They should otherwise form a
straight line which would finally
fade away in the distance because
of the loss of light from repeated
reflection.
The reversal of the image by re
flection is made excellent use of in
the modern type of fieldglass, the
prism binocular, which has come
into such deserved popularity. The
prisms here serve only as reflecting
surfaces which cause the beam of
light to traverse its path three
times and hence make the equiva
lent length of the telescope three
times as great as it actually is. But
this is only part of their service.
The simplest form of telescope, con
sisting only of an objective and an
eyepiece of a single convex lens,
gives an inverted image, or, in other
words, shows objects upside down.
To rcinvert or erect the image sev
eral additional lenses are used, and
this adds to the necessary length of
the telescope as well as to its cost,
besides introducing other disadvan
tages. In the prism binocular this
reinversion is brought about by the
reflection at the two prisms, one of
which is so turned as to exchange
right for left in the image, and the
other top for bottom, and the com
bined effect is to show things in
their proper relations.—L. I. Rose
in Chicago Record-Herald.
The Eye* of the Eagle.
That the eagle has a most won
derful power of vision is shown
from the fact that it flies in almost
n straight line for any object which
it desires to secure. Baby eagles
also possess this farsightedness.
Long before human eyes can discern
i speck on the horizon their gaze is
lixed on distance, and their cries of
welcome to their parents are shrill
and continuous. The structure of
their eyes makes them peculiarly
strong. The brightest glare of sun
light docs Dot affect them. Eagles
Jo not fly ai high in the air as some
ather birds,( but their flight is very
long and sfbady.
Wooden, Anyway.
The into Sir W. S. Gilbert was in
filled to be witty at the expense of
:ho men and women who like to do
imatcur acting in the name of char
ty. An enthusiast once said to
lim, according to the recent auto
tiography of Seymour Hicks:
“Mr. Gilbert, what do yon think
if. our a mat eu r club ?”
“1 think they are not so much a
fub as a bundle of sticks,” returned
lie mnstewjofreftartee.i
Why Ho Declined.
“Yes.” said Tom Poorninn, “I’ve
jeen invited to her wedding, but
I’m not going."
“But,” his friend urged, “do you
hink you can afford to have your
iliscnce noticed ?”
“Better than I can afford to have
nv presents noticed. That’s the
rouble.”—London Answers.
