came and offered her services as a nurse
and remained here not onls during the
continuance of the fever, but fo-a yea
after. During her stay here she became
known to almost every citizen of the
town snd, as she is qui g social and COM

woman from her W lips.

A Cotton spinner's Success.

John Horrocks, one of the pioneers
of cotton spinning in England, was the
son of small quarry-owner He was
the younger of two surviving sons OF
a family of eighteen children, and as
he grew up to manhood he and his
brother Samuel helped their father in
the business of making and selling
millstones. But John was not content
to devote his life and energy to the
chipping of stones. 1t was not long,
therefore, before he came to the deter.
mination to try his fortune in cotton
spinning, and he contrived to get few
spinning frames, and in a corner of his
fathers offices had them erected. Al
though he did not altogether relin-
quish his original work of dressing
and polishing millstones he gave him.
self to his new occupation with so
much ardor and industry that even his
father was compelled in time to ac-
knowledge that the prospects of the
cotton yarn trade were much more en-
couraging than those of milestone
quarrying. He labored early and late
at his new business. He worked his
spinning-frames with his own hands,
and was so painstaking and thorough
in every detail that the yarn he turned
out soon acquired a high reputation
for its excellent quality. The principle
that he laid down for himself at this
commencement of his career and to
which he rigidly adhered through life,
was that the work that his machines
accomplished should be the best of it.

foundation of his fame and prosperity

ABOUT PARROTS.

The Gray Better Than the Green-The
African and Mexican Varieties.
A gray parrot with red tail stood
on the top of his cage and loudly ex-
pressed desire for crackers, while the
bird-fancier pointed to him and talked
to the customer.
That's the bird for you, sir" he
said. HE know as much as an ordi-
nary child already, and he is only a
year old. Why, he can say anything
he hears, and can bark like a dog in
addition"
Dog" repeated the parrot gravely:
"Bow-wow-wow."
"He's an African parrot" the bird.
fancier continued, "as intelligent as
any ever saw"
A green parrot with yellow head
caught the eye of the customer, and
he said he liked its appearance better
than that of the gray parrot, and he
bought it,
HE made IA mistake, said the bird
fancier after the customer had gone.
''But l always find it more profitable
to let people have their own way. Now
there is no comparison between these
two birds. The green parrot can't
hold candle to the gray. I'll guar
antee the gray one will learn anything
that he hears, and remember it, too.

fancier by asking for ten cents worth

INTERMITTENT SCENERY.

How the Tunnels Between Genoa and Pisa
Interfere with Its Enjoyment.
The scenery between Genoa and
Pisa is very beautiful, lying along that
lovely coast of the Mediterranean
called the Riviera de Levante, but
there are reasons why we shall not en-
joy it as much as we would like. These
reasons are eighty in number, and con-
sist of tunnels, some long and some
short, and all very unceremonious in
the suddenness with which they cut off
a view. As soon as we sight queer
old stone town, or little village sur
rounded by lemon groves, or stretch
of blue sea at the foot of olive-covered
mountains, everything is instantly ex-
tinguished, and we sit in the dark;
then there is another view which is
just as quickly cut off, and so this
amusement goes on for the whole dis
lance, which is only a little over q
hundred miles. There is an old story,
once told to story-loving King, about
an immense barn, filed to the top with
wheat, and a vast swarm of locusts.
There was little hole in the roof, and
first one locust went in and took a
grain of wheat, and then another took
a grain, and after that another one
took grain, and then another locust
took another grain, and then the next
locust took a grain, and so on for ever
SO long; until the King jumped up in a
passion and cried out:
"Stop that story! Take my daughter
and marry her. and let us hear no more
of those dreadful locusts."
The tunnels on the road between
Genoa and Pisa remind one very much
of that locust story.-Frank n. Stock

HARVARD DEMONSTRATIONS
Is, 1886, the oldest college in the
United States was founded by an
endowment Of $500 from the Gen
eral Court Of the Massachusetts,
Colony for the establishment of ii
"schoole or colledge" at Newtown,
three miles from Boston. The name
Of the town was changed to Cam
bridge, after the seat of the English
University; and the college took the
name of Harvard, in 1859, from the
Rev. John Harvard, who bequeath-
ed to it his books and nearly $4,000.
For some time it was little more
than an Indian school, and was sup
ported by the voluntary contribution
Of the colonists, who often could
give no more than a peck of corn
yearly. The first President was the
Rev. Henry Dunster, 1910; and the
oldest building now standing is
Massachusetts, Hall, built n 1920.

Every man in turn wanted to be
on the school board, and it was
amazing how many cords of wood
were dumped on the Mayors side
walk, with compliments of so and
so. Of course it may not have had
anything to do with it, but, never
theless, it was fact that the man
sending the most wood was appoint
ed director.
About six months after the dram
attic entry into town of the school,
mistress, n young stranger came to
the Gully, and soon his name was
in everyone's mouth-"Parry, the
tenderfoot," owner of the "Nellie
and |" mine. One evening Mrs.
Haslett commenced talking about
the stranger. "He is from your
State, Pennsylvania; you must meet
him, for he would make good
catch. He owns the Nelly and y
mine, the richest mine in these
parts.
Why did tear tremble ON those
eye-lashes, why did the blood red
den her cheeks u fiery hue? Just
then the Mayor came in, followed
by tall stranger.
Miss .Jarden, this is Mr.. Parry"
A scream and the tall stranger
and the little teacher were locked in
each Others arms. Well, the rest is
soon told. Nelly Jarden and Parry
Rodgers were lovers in little Penn
sylvania town. He started for the
west to make his fortune. Four or
five letters came and then they
ceased. A long year passed and nc
news of Parry. Finally the disso.
lutte son of the postmaster was
arrested and confessed that he had
been stealing letters with money il
them, and among them he hac
taken two or three from Parry t.
Nellie, thinking probably they
might contain money.
The brave girl then started to fine
her lover. Place after place sh
visited but could find no clue, an,
at last, broken-hearted and con
WINGED that her lover was dead, sh
accepted the place offered her at tn
Gully.
Well, they married, and years {
happiness and JOY have been thei
lot.
