John Stuart Mill was studying Greek at three, had practically mastered the language at aoven and a year Inter was acting as schoolmaster to bis younger brothers and sisters. John Buskin actually produced a uinnu- icrlpt work in three volumes before h* reached bis seventh birthday. Murlc Twain In a Fog;. Hark Twain's former lecture man- ager told tbls story of nu entertain- ment: given by the humorist in Loudon during s heavy fog: \Ono night the queens concert rooms were like a smokehouse; and I saw from my choir in the royal box a ahado-wy dress coat, supported by a pair of shadowy trou- sers, girdled by tho faint halo of the ineffectual footlights. A voice was In th* air, but It was difficult to locate it with any degree of certainty. Tho ap- parently headless trunk of the lecturer told what he knew of our fellow sav- ages, tho Sandwich Islanders, and at Intervals out of the depths ascended the muffled murmur of an audience In- visible to the naked eye. Mark began his lecture on this occasion with a del- . ic*te allusion to the weather and said, ''Perhaps yon can't see me, but I am _ hers,* \ Xmprorinar On IIor«e Power. •In^iVcheiuela many years ago a teaffitiy agriculturist was appointed •minister of marine.

He got up, put on bis bnt and (hen calmly picked up tho ten cent check that belonged to his friend. Without turning n hair he went to the desk, paid 10 cents and walked out A few minutes later number two, who had been reading the paper, prepared to leave and took up the remaining chock. He appeared greatly surprised and called the waiter, asking for an explanation. There was nothing for the knight of the napkin to do but give the man a new ten cent check, as it whs very evident that be hnd not eaten $1.85 worth of food.

The duke was a groat stickler for punc- tuality, and %e waa annoyed that tho workmen.on bis estate at Worsley did not return to work after dinner as promptly as they left off when tho clock struck 12. When he remonstrat- ed, be was told that while the work- men always heard the clock/Strike 12, they often failed to hear the shiglo stfo&e of 1. The Duke of Bridge-writer quickly found 'a romedy for this diffi- culty. He had a clock mndo that would strike thirteen times -an hour after noon, and that clock proclaims 1 o'clock with a bakor's dozen of sono- rdus strokes to this dny.
