rorgouhe Lighthouse Keepers
The lighthouse keepers on Percy
island off the coast of Queensland,
in 1900, were “forgotten” for
months by the government authori-
ties. The food supply of Percy Isl-
and is supposed to be delivered once
a quarter, hut no food arrived at the
island after the first week in June
until a British sloop chanced to pass
in October. The islanders, twenty
in number, were delerious from lack
of food, managed to hail the vessel,
which left behind an ample supply
of provisions and reminded the
Queensland government of the
ligtithouse men whose existence it
had forgotten.

Aping King Edward in New York.
Since it became known that
King Edward VII. has been in the
habit of taking a pint of cham-

tried it, too. Before that, though,

tions to obtain to a depth of 6,000
feet vertically, we have the cnor:
mous Sum of $300,000,000 for each
mile in length. It is not unreasona-
ble to suppose that these conditions
will be maintained along most of
the central section, say for a dis-
tance of ten miles, in which case
we would have an auriferous area,
within practicable mining depths,
containing upward of $3,000,000,-

Comparisons Really Aro “Odious.”
"Comparisons are odious,” said
John Fortescire, an ancient En-
glish worthy, writing in the- fif-
teenth century. In “Much Ado
About Nothing” Shakespeare
caused one of the ridiculous char-
acters to say: “Comparisons are
odorous.” In recent years the
question has been raised whether
the quotation ‘ Comparisons are
odious,” was correctly used, be-
cause Shakespeare's character em-
ployed the word “odorous.” It
appears that the former usage is
right. ___
A New Evarts Story.
A story about the late W illiam
M. Evarts, which is believed new
to print, is told by Adrian H.
]oline in his “Meditations of an
Autograph Collector,” just pub-
lished. It is that on one of his
later anniversaries Senator Hoar
wrote to Evarts, congratulating
him on his length of years, and
the old lawyer replied that he re
minded himself of the old lady,
who, arriving at her 13th page,
asked her correspondent: “Please
excuse my longevity.” k u

One day in file summer of 1857
Abraham Lincoln was sitting in his
office when he was visited by one
of his neighbors, an excellent farm

ing. He had given on this particu-
lar morning a skillfully padded ac-
count of the hay he had put in.
