The philosophy or nature of hiber nation and why and how it Is that the hibernating creatures can go so long without food are Interesting studies. In the first place, the creature in der to enable it to sustain life through out the long winter during which it hibernates is endowed with the capac ity of accumulating within Us body large quantity of fat. This fat Is to the animal what a well stocked coal cellur is to a fire, and until the whole of it has been consumed the tissue of the body proper remains untouched. It has been ascertained that animals can endure the waste of tissue until it amounts to 40 per cent of their normal weight. Should the weight he reduced beyond that point the result is death. But nature comes to the rescue of the hibernating creatures In another way. When the hibernation begins, respira tion and digestion almost cease (In some cases they cease absolutely), and circulation is only just active enough to sustain life. As n conse quence of this the wear and tear Is re duced to the minimum, and the crea ture is enabled to pull through.—New York American. or a the Horses and Music. Regimental horses have been the subjects of musical tests, and nearly all enjoyed the experience, only a very small percentage of the animals re maining Indifferent to sweet harmo nies, while equally few showed active dislike. The great majority were soothed, inspirited or excited by music. Most of the horses, like the war char gers one may suppose them to be, en joyed the bugle nbove any other Instru ment and neighed gallantly when it was sounded, hut thoroughbreds and colts generally were found to prefer the shrill treble of the fife, which roused them to great and sometimes ageable enthusiasm, more significant because the fife an unfamiliar instrument to them, not being generally used, as Is tfie bugle In the French army.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph. unman This was the was Modal of Economy. A certain farmer who lives out In the county nnd who is noted for his closeness In money matters has a twelve-year-old son, who Is as indus trious as Ills father is penurious. Recently the father nnd son made a compact whereby the latter would re ceive 10 cents for every cord of wood he sawed nnd piled in the wood shed. Immediately the boy busy nt the wood pile, nnd his earnings have been piling up at a rapid rate, his mother keeping her son's hard earned savings for him. "What are you going to do with all your money?" the thrifty youth was recently asked. - "Goln' to buy a new saw with It," was the reply.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat became very Benjamin Constant. Benjamin Constant, having sided with Napoleon during the hundred days, felt the need of justifying him self when Louis XVIII. returned to power. He wrote the klug a letter with that end in view and called upon Mme. Recamier to discuss the subject. She asked him quietly: "Have you finished your letter?" "Yes." "Are you satisfied with It?" "Entirely satisfied. 1 have almost persuaded myself." Marrying. Everybody is expected to marry imee, and there is not much talk when you marry the first time, hut jreople took wise when you marry the sec ond time and roar when you marry the third time.—Atchison Globe.

Time is the great comforter of grief, but the agency by which It works Is •xhaustion.—Landon. à O ■o Mr, RarnickeS's Portrait [Original.] When Mr. Rarnickel got rich the first thing lie wanted was n crest, which he found, though ids title to it was rather thin, and the next was his portrait to hang In Ills drawing room and to hand down to his descendants as the lineaments of the reinstitutor of the family. Arnold Elliott was at that time the principal portrait painter In the city where Mr. Rarnickel lived, and to him Mr. Barniekol gave .the or der, agreeing to pay for the portrait $500. Now, although Mr. Barniekol had dealt in hides, an article not calculated to stimulate the imaginative faculty, his Imagination was strong. The mo ment he set himself up as a reinstitu tor of his family he saw himself a fine looking, dignified gentleman of aristo cratic mien and benevolent counte nance. In truth, he was a crafty look ing man witli a money making nose He saw the picture of himself grow ing up in the hands of the artist as he was and not as he thought himself. He made several protests, but when lie attempted to point out the errors ho signally failed. He could not give the artist his conception of himself, and the artist had no choice but tc. paint him ns Mr. Barnickel. When the portrait was finished, there sat the merchant looking for all the world ns if he were buying a cargo of hides. When Mr. Barnickel saw the portrait he refused to accept It on the ground that his liest friend wouldn't take It for him. As soon ns Mr. Elliott got a little spare time he hooked Mr. Barnlckel'a portrait up against the wall of his studio, covered it with n sheet of drawing paper and on the paper sketched prison bars. This done, he cut out the paper between the bars, leaving Mr. Bnrniekel In Umbo. Un derneath he placed the title of the pic ture, "A Prisoner For Debt." It was not long before one who knew Mr. Barniekol well saw him behind bars. Had he loved Mr. Barnickel he would have gone to him at once with the Information. But he didn't love Mr. Barnickel —few people did—so he went about telling those who knew the hide dealer of the rare sight to bo seen, and Mr. Elliott's studio at once became very popular. Indeed, from among those who visited it to sea "A Prisoner For Debt" he secured a num ber of orders. The episode at last reached, a mem ber of the Bamlckel family, and the family head was Informed. The same morning he drove up to Mr. Elliott's studio, alighted In a hurry, climbed the stall's in anger and burst into the stu dio in a passion. There hung the pic ture, and there sat the artist quiescent nt his easel. on at a "What do you mean by perpetrating that outrager" Bhouted Mr. Barniekel, pointing to the picture. "What outrage?" asked the artist without discontinuing his work. , "Putting my portrait behind bars." "Your portrait? That isn't your por trait. You said yourself that would recognize It." The merchant saw that he could not demand the removal of the objection able features without eating his words. He went out, slamming the door be hind him. for no one for Ke had been triumphant In too many deals to be beaten by a pic ture maker; he would find n way to get round the "Imposition." But before he found this way he hoard that a new feature had been at tached to the portrait. The artist had removed the bars aud the title, replac ing the latter with the words "You Want Too Much." The title fitted the expression on the face so well nnd Mr. Barulckel's idio syncrasies were so keenly appreciated that a new lot of people came pouring Into the studio to see Old Scrouge, as they called him, buying hides, though some declared that he was disputing the price of his portrait, nickel was made aware of the change by receiving an anonymous letter in quiring which of these two Interpreta tions of the title was correct. By this time the merchant had con sulted his lawyer, who advised him that the most satisfactory way out of the diffleuity was to pay for the pic ture and take It away, receipt of the anonymous note he drew his check for $500, jumped into his rlage and drove to Mr. Elliott's studio. Ou entering his eyes naturally sought the picture, changed. beating down a seller, It was Mr. Bar nickel just having bought at his price. There was no title attached to the picture. Instead a bit of cardboard rested upon It on which in big letters was Inscribed "Sold." Mr. Barniekol saw the word and was seized with a new anxiety, only he. could not see Its double mean ing. Mr. Bar Therefore on car The expression had been Instead of Mr. Bamlckel own He. and "There's your check. Send that daub home," he said. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bamlckel. Don't you see the card on the picture?" No one would want He stopped. lie was about to "That's bosh. mv' yield to his heating down propensities nnd add "ugly mug," but remembered himself. "I don't think the purchaser cares much for It," said Mr. Elliott coolly. "You might get It ut an advance the original price." "How much is the"— Mr. Bamlckel was about to say swindle, but feared to make matters worse. Mr. Elliott arose, went to tho pic ture and cut It In ribbons. "The episode Is ended, Mr. Bamlckel. I have to thank you for many ordert •ecured through your portrait" .GERTRUDE GOWAN. on \ i Murtaüklt«. o., May 5 '08 fcsen, is here visiting her brother, Pi'iqk" n * tou and family.
