just the Nicest Pet Out.

Recently gentleman of Leadville was
standing at a restaurant corner fumblinp
In his vest pocket for change. when he re.
marked to the clerk behind the counter:
say would you like to see my pet9"
'Wouldn't mind, responded the restau-
ranter, and Immediately leaped back into
consternation when the questioncr drew a
small 1.-Two snake out of his pocket, and
placed 1t on the glass before him.
''What 10 you think of that2" ho asked.
"Great heavensl" was the reply, "you
don't carry that thing around with you, do
you7"
"Certainly I do, why not2"
AT this juncture a man who was wit
ness to the scene. vontured to ask:
"You don't have that thing for pet
do your"
eyes, l do" was the RESPONSE; 'othor
people have dogs and cats and birds. Now
this little fellow, If you will only look at
him, is prettier than any of them. Sec
how his skin gllntens, just like diamonds. "
But It's cold and clammy, and then q
snako-why the IDEAS horrible"
ut may be to you," said the reptile
fancier, "but 1t aint to me-" and taking
up the wriggling pet in his hand replaced
1t carefully ia his pocket.
There Is nothing more repulsive," lie
continued, properly thinking, about a
snake than any other animal. Tbev are
cleaner than dog or cat, and this little
fellow couldn't bite If he would. Their
habits are very interesting to watch; they
don't cost anything to keep. Obi I toll

Waxindustry In China.

Talking OF bees makes one think of wax.
The whitewax industry Of Szechuen, China,
however, does not depend on bees. 1t is
apecul1ar and growing industry. Baron
Richthofen, estimates the value of the an
nual crop, on the average, at about 50, 250, -
600. In 1879 upward of $4,000 worth
Of this curious chronological secretion was

Of Oh insect in a state of disease, aggravated
probably by the operation of an uncongenial
climate, and favored by the presence of q
tree for which the creature has an affinity.
In the Keenchang district an evergreen,
known as the Ligustrum, thrives in album
dance, and on it's twigs, in the spring of
the year, countless flies swarm like brown
Aim. The branches soon become covered
with white, soapy lncrustatlon that In

Children at School.

DR.. Jacobi has made this a special
study from the standpoint of physiology.
His conclusion is that, as a rule, child
should not be sent to school before he Is
years old Not till this age is It's brain
substance sufficiently developed. An IN
fanI's BRAIN is soft. 1t contains a large
percentage of water. 1t is deficient in fat
and phosphorus, on which, to a large ex-
tent, intellectual activity depends. The
convulsions are fewer. The different parts
of the brain do not grow in size and
weight allkc--the normal proportion of
the front, back and lateral portions not
being reached before the age Of 10. So,
too, the proportion of the chest to the
lower portions of the body is not attained
until the 9th year, while that part of the
back, (the lumbar) ON which the sitting
posture depends, is even then only moder-
ately developed. About the 9th and 9th
years the base OF the brain grows rapidly,
the frontal bones extend forward and up
ward, and the anterior portion grows con-
siderablv. Still the white substance-tho
gray Is the basis of iutelligcnce-and the
large ganglia predominate. 1t is not till
about the 9Th year that the due proportion
of parts is reached, and certain oonsoIl-
datioD, both of the brains and the organs
OF the body generally. Before this period
memory alone can be safely trained.
Froebel, the founder Of the kindergarten
system, reached the same result, by OBJ
scrvation. Meanwhile, Jacob recon-
mends that the children be entertained and
gradually developed in the kindergarten.
Here" ho says, ''their activity is regu-
ulated. their attention exercised, and their
muscles invigorated. Both imagination
rad ads memory are taxed to a slight degree
only. VIII increasing years, the gray
substance becoming iiiSaevand if6a anu more devel-
oped, their thinking powers are yYYanasay Yaes}! y

cation lies III the uniform development o
all powers. 10 develop one at the ex

Steam sor Cooking.

Mr. Prall, thus explained to class In
New York his system of heat for cooking
purposes. lie said ''our system of cooking
ls not by the use of steam, but by super
heated water. Everything you see upon
the table here was cooked in our range.
Some of the companies which have been
compelled to abandon the plan, as It has
been found lmpracticable. Our plan in q
few words is this: We send ont from our
stations through pipes about three or four
inches In diameter, constant stream of
water heatcd to the temperature Of four
hundred and thirty-flve degrees. This
hot water Is conducted by smaller pines
Into the house. Here 1t branches, and one
pipe leads to converter, where the hot
water Is converted into steain and distribute
to the radiators and heaters in the building.
making about five hundred times its vol
ume IN steam. Another pipe leads directly
TO the range. At the side Of the range is a
valve with on aperture the size of a needle.
through which the hot water passes into q
pipe having an inside diameter of about n
quarter of an inch. This pipe is coiled
around The top, bottom and two sides of
the oven. a casting of iron is placed both
inside and outside OF this coil of plpe. Upon
the top OF the oven are stationary pots. and
meats and vegetables can be cooked either
In these or in ordinary pots. At the back
OF the oven coil OF pipe is arranged for
Dolllng 8. All that Is necessary when tho
oven 10 needed Is to turn the valve, and in
fys minutes tho oven will be ready. With
wood or coal fire the greater part of the
heat passes up the chimney, but with this
system we Keep all the heat about the oven.
and the water, after doing It's work there
passes with no diminution in heat to
Doiier or tank and thence to all parts of
inc mouse where 1t may be needed for
Washing purposes. When the range is not
needed the valve can be shut, and tho
water passes directly to the tank through
another pipe,
