His father refused to allow him to 'play with" his watch, and so James waited until a stranger called at the house one day to ask his way. Will you be good enouffh to tell me what time it is?" asked the boy. The gentleman told him. "Would you be willing that I should look at your watch?" continued Fer guson. "Certainly," replied the gentleman. The boy took the watch eagerly. After he had examined it for a mo ment his next question came: "What makes that box go round?" "A steel spring," replied the owner. '"How can a steel spring in a box turn it round so as to wind up all the chain?" The gentleman explained the pro cess. "I don't see through it yet," an swered 3'oung Ferguson. "Well, now," said the traveler, who had become deeply interested in the boy," "take a long.thin piece of whale bone, hold one end of it fast between your thumb and forefinger and wind it arouni 1 you:- finger. It will then attein-1 to unwind itself, and if you fix the other end of it to the inside of a small hoop and leave it to itself it will turn the hoop round and round and wind up a thread tied to the out side." "I see it! I see it!" exclaimed Fergu son enthusiastically. "Thank you very, very much!" It was not long before he made a wooden watch, which he enclosed in a case about the size of a teacup. The boy was afterwards set at work to watch sheep at night. Here he had nothing to watch but the stars and his future eminence in astronomy was, in a way, founded upon that boyish out-of-door observation. Rlaise Pascal, who wrote a remark able treatise on the laws of sound, was constantly observing the familiar oc currences about him, even as a boy. When he was only 10 years old he sat at the dinner table one day striking his plate with his knife and then list ening to the sound. "What are you doing with that plate. I?:aise?' asked his sister. "See!" he replied. "When I strike the plate with my knife it rings. Hark!" Again he called forth the sound. "When I grasp it with my hind so," he said, "the sound ceases. I wonder why it is?" Thus hsd both boys begun to study, each according to his own bent, with no tirging fiom older people. Youth's Companion. Hiding: m Cmmnl. Perhaps you "rode a camel" at the world's fair; if so, you will appreciate what Mrs. Amelia B. Edwards says about it: . The camel has its virtues, so much at least must be admitted, but they do n .t lie on the surface. My liuffon tells me, for instance, tint h3 carries a water eistern in his stomach, whicli is meritorious. IS tit the cistern amelio rates neither his gait nor his temper, which are abominable. Irreproacha ble as a b ,'ast of burden, i is open to many objections as a steed. It is not pleasant to ride a beast that not only objects to being ridden, but that cher shes a strong persoaal antipathy to ithe rider. You know he hates you from the moment you walk around him. hesi tating where and how to begin tho ascent of his hump. He does not hesi tate to tell you so in the roundest terms. He snarls if you but move in the saddle, and stares angrily around at you if you attempt to move him in any direction save that in which he himself intended to go. If you per sist he tries to bite your feet. If bit ing you doesn't answer, he lies down. Now, I he lying down and getting up of a camel are performances designed expressly to indict grievous bodily harm upon the rider. Thrown twice forward and twice backward, punched in his "wind" and damaged in his Bpine, the luckless novice receives four distinct shocks, each more sud den and unexpected than the last. For this execrable hunchback is fear fully and wonderfully made. He has a superfluous joint somewhere in his legs, and uses it to revenge himself upon mankind. His paces, however, ar mora com plicated than tia Joints and mora tryinjr than ais terapr. Ho haa four a short walk, like the rolling of a small boat In a chopping sea; a lony walk, which dislocates every bone in jdy: a trot that reduces you to Xfld a gallop that threatens i-"& to the daring experir The Prince of Turnips. There were two brothers who wora both soldiers, the one was rich the other poor. The poor man thought he would try to better himself, so, pulling off his red coet, he became a gardener, and dug his ground well, and sowed turnips. When the seed came up there was one plant bigger than all the rest; and it kept getting larger, and seemed as if it never would cease growing, so that it might have been called the prince of turnips, for there never was sach a one seen before, and never will be again. At last it was so big that it filled a onrt, and two oxen could hardly draw it; and the gardener knew not what in the world to do with it, nor whether it would be a blessing or a curse 1o him. One day he said to himself: "What shall I do with it? If I sell it, it will bring no more than another; and for eating little turnips are better than this. The best thing, perhaps, is to carry it and give it to the king as a mark of respect."' Then he yoked his oxen and drew the turnip to the court and gave it to the king. "What a wonderful thing!" said the king; "I have seen many strange things, but such a mon ster as this I never saw. Where did you get the seed? or is it only your good luck? If so, you are a true child of fortune." "Oh no!" answered the gardener; "I am no child of fortune. I am a poor soldier who never could get enough to live upon; so I In id aside my red coat and set to work tilling the ground. I have a brother who is rich, and your majesty knows him well, and all the world knows him; but because I am poor everybody forgets me." The king then took pity on him and said: "You shall be poor no longer. I will give you so much that you shall be even ri.-her than your brother." Then he gave him gold and land and flocl s, and made him so rich that his brother's fortune could not at all be compared with his. When the brother heard of all this, and how a turnip had made the gardener rich, he envied him sorely, and bethought himself how he could contrive to get tho same good fortune for himself. However he determined to manage more cleverly than his brother, and got together a rich pres ent of gold and fine horses for tho king, and thought he must have a much larger gift in return; for if his brother had received so much for only a turnip, what must his present be worth. The king took the gift very gracious ly, and said he knew not what to give in return more valuable and wonder ful than the great turnip; so the soldier was forced to put it into a cart and drag it home with him. Grimm's Fairy Tales. Animal Can Count. Not less interesting were similar experiments with horses. In the vil lage of Pekoe tho doctor found a peas ant's horse, which was used for plow ing and which had acquired the habit of counting the furrows and stopping to rest regularly at the twentieth. So confident was the plowman of the horse's calculation that at the end of the day he used to estimate the amount of work done, not by count ingthe furrows himself, but by simply remembering the number of times his horse had stopped to rest. In another village the doctor found a horse that was able to count the mile-posts along the way, and that had been trained by its master to stop for feed whenever they had covered twenty-five versts. One day they tried the horse over a road where three false mill-posts had been put up between the real ones, and, sure enough the horse, deceived by this trick, stopped for his oats at the end of twenty-two versts instead of going the usual twenty-five. The same horse was accustomed to being fed every day at the stroke of noon. The doctor observed that whenever the clock struck any, hour the horse would stop and prick up his ears as if counting. If he heard twelve he would trot off contentedly to uc fed, but if there were fewer strokes than twelve he would go on working resignedly. ins experiment was made of striking twelve strokes at the wrong time whereupon the horse started for his oats, in spite of the fact that he had been fed only an hour before. Kay Electrical Experiment. Take a glass, expose it to the fire so that it shall be perfectly dry and place it upside down on a table. Afterward take a tray, perfectly dry, and place it upon the glass in such a way that it shall preserve its equi librium. Finally takb a sheet of paper slightly smaller than the tray, heat it and rub it rapidly with a brush and it will become quickly electrified. Then place it upon the tray. An electrical machine will thus have been constructed without any ex pense. If the finger be brought near the tray a spark will appear. This spark will be so much the brighter and the series of sparks will be so much the longer in proportion as the glass and trav are drier. If, while tliesparksare being drawn from the tray, the room be darkened, these Bparks will appear extremely brilliant. Not f-:xctly.

MUSCAT AND ITS PALACE, v WTicre CrimlmUs) Are torn torieee and devoured by a Lion. Outwardly the resemblance to Aden is kept rip as you approach Muscat. The same canoes came alongside, which naked niggers propel with gayly col ored paddels; the same long row of white houses line the shore, but unlike Aden, Mnscat has fertile valleys in the hills behind. There is the valley called I'aradise with its palms and gardens and refreshing shades, the result of ir rigation, and wells worked by slaves and bullocks in the Indian fashion namely, by a sloping path, so that when the bullock and nigger descend the bucket comes up.and when the bullock and nigger ascends tho bucket goes down.

The second best house ! is tiie imam's palace, but before we go ! to see him let us say a word about that' curious title imam and the present I owner 01 it. Originally the ruler of Oman was a sort of priest king. Imam literally meaning priest, for in olden days the men of Oman were called "outsiders" by their Mohammedan brethren be cause they recognized their own chief solely as the head of their own relig ion. This is WI13- they called him their imam or priest and king, like Melchis edek, to whom, oddly enough, in the Koran is given the same title. Imam Saeed did not like this title at all. lie preferred to have a name which would put him more on a footing with other sovereigns, so he called himself tho sultan of Oman, which title his succes sors also assume. l!ut somehow or an other the people like the old ' title of imam best and stick to it. Sultan Tourkee died a few years ago, and with his death came on again the usual succession trouble. lie had always educated his second son, Fay sul. to succeed him, his eldest son, Mohammed, being a mere negro by an African slave mother and totally with out education, so that his claims to the throne wcr,e of no account. ' lie causes no diiliculty. but lives next door to his brother, Sult:i,n l-'aysul. in the enjoy ment of a pension of l?i;oo a month. The palace is entered by a formid able looking door decorated with large spiked bosses of brass. This opens into a small court in winch is con tained the most imposing sight of the place namely, the lion in his cage to the 'eft, into which l-'aysul introduces criminals of the deepest dye to be de voured by this-lordly executioner.
