JUST FOR FUN,

"Ma, does it take nine tailors to
make q MANI" III am told so, my
boy" "Well, how many tailors does
it take to make dude"
The youthful idea of school has
many Illustrations. "Where are you
going?" "To school," "What do
you 90 for; to read?" "No." "To
writer" emo" "To COUNT"
'"No." "What do you go for?"
"To wait for school to let out"
A five ear-old returned from his
first day at school disguised with the
ignorance of his teacher. "Why, she
kept asking questions all the time;
she even asked how much two and
two were," he said.
This was written on the fly leaf of
a book on moral science: "If there
should be another flood, for refuge
hither fly; though all the world
should be submerged, this book
would still be dry"
Fertility of schoolboy excuse is
proverbial. "What is this?" shouted
the teacher, pointing to an ink blot
on the copy book. "Please, sir, |
think it is tear" replied the owner,
meekly. GA tear! how could a tear
be black" Numbered the teacher.
"Please, sir, | think it is a colored

for his lateness to supper ON the
ground that the teacher had been so
much pleased with his geography les

ABOUT CATERPILLARS.

Caterpillars are wonderful little ami
mails, and yet most people, children
especially, are afraid of them. They
need not be, for there is only one
kind we must not touch, and that is
the "palmer worm" beautiful scar
let and black fellow. But just lay a
finger on him and he stings worse
than a nettle. Caterpillars are but
terdies' babies, and though they do
look so ugly sometimes, when the
right time comes-all at once-in-
stead of an ugly, crawling caterpillar,
we see beautiful gay-colored butter
fly, floating along among the flowers,
with such wonderful wings, that if
they were examined with a micro
scope, we should find them covered
with tiny feathers.
The eggs of butterfly are very
strange and beautiful things. By
looking at them through a micro
scope, we shall find them beautifully
formed and marked, prettier even
than the lovely glass marbles boys
like so much. We may not think SO,
but a butterfly is a very wise, kind
mother. She lays her eggs on just
the kind of leaves her babies like best
to eat; and if two plants grew close
together, that looked almost exactly
alike, she Would take the right one
and never make mistake. The eggs
are covered with a kind of glue, so
they stick fast to the leaf; and when
they hatch, the baby caterpillars eat
the egg-shells first, and then the
green leaves. All they want to do is
to eat, and on the very first day of
life each one will eat up twice his
own weight. OF course they grow
rapidly, for at the end of one month
they weigh thousand times as much
as when they first came out of their
pretty shells. A butterhy's life is
very short one, and it never sees its
baby caterpillars, for it only lives
long enough to lay its eggs, and then
its Work is done.

THAT'S BABY.

One little row Of ten little toes,
To go along with brand new nose,
Eight new fingers and two new thumbs
That are Just as good as sugar plums-
That's baby.
One little pair of round new eyes,
Like little OWLS, so big and wise;
One little place they call mouth,
without one tooth, from north to south
That's baby.
Two little cheeks to kiss all day,
Two little hands so In his way,
A brand new head, not very big,
That seems to need brand new wig
That's baby.
Dear little row of ten little toes?
How much we love them nobody knows;
Ten little kisses on mouth and chin,
What shame he wasn't Il twin

A TALE OF TAILS; THE RABBIT AND
THE FOX,

The following is by little girl six
years old, residing in Little Rock:
Once upon time little girl lived
up on a high mountain. She had q
pet rabbit in cage; and she only
attended to it once in the morning,
when she gave it something to eat.
She had little brother; and while
the little girl was sewing, her little
brother opened the door of the cage,
and she did not notice that her rab-
bit had got out.
The little girl had eight chickens;
and there was q fox who tried to get
the chickens every day. And the
fox chased the chickens and the rab-
bit round and round the yard till he
got tired, and tried to catch chicken
that was in coop. The rabbit
slipped up behind the fox and pulled
out his own tall and then he pulled
out the fox's tail and stuck his own
tail on the fox, and stuck the fox's
tail on himself.
Then the fox tried to catch the
rabbit and get his tail back, but the
rabbit ran into his cage. And the
little girl shut the door and hung the
rabbit up on the wall. l.. l.. X.

THE FIELD-M0USE.

The nest of field-mouse is q much
more wonderful home than our large,
four-storied, brown stone fronts. 1t
is one of the prettiest and smallest
houses ever built. But where shall
we 90 to find one? Some bright,
sunny morning take q walk on the
border of wheat field, and look care
fully into the standing wheat, or on
the edge of a ditch, where the grass
grows up strong and coarse, and you
may see, fastened to the stems of the
grain or grass, round ball of woven
stems. In and out, through this lit
tie round basket, dried grass is woven
in, carefully and evenly, as though
the tiny mice which have made it had
been taught to weave lace.
There is no door to this cunning
little house, or windows, and just
how it is made no one knows, for the
builders are very timid and do not
work when they can be watched.
One of these round nests, which was
seen, was about as large as billiard
ball. and had eight baby mice in it.
Perhaps the mother pushed the woven
grass apart'far enough to squeeze in,
and then pulled it over the place
again. The feld-mouse is not the
same shape quite as the mice we see
in our houses. 1t is reddish brown
in color, the under part is white, its
ears are shorter, and its eyes are set
deeper in its face. The little fellows
can run up and down stalk of grain
, or grass without even bending it.
They fail, and they alone, who have
not striyeu,-rT. B, Aldrich.

MEXICAN GUST MS.
Rigid Laws Regulating the Burial
of the Dad
Difficulties Which Bsset Major
Stewart-The Official Papers
Issued TO Hin.

The laws vi Mexico governing the bayia.
of the dead are very cumpreh nsiye, and
are rig dly enforced.
The laws regulating the ,xhumg.;ol Of
bod o. are alsO very strict, AID it requires
deal Of rod taLe ma fornali.y to have
it accom- lishcd.
After body is eXhumed, il it Is desired
TO trans port it any distance b. railroad, a
special ca must b. provided, and, at the
border line Of each state, heavy duty is
exacred.
These duties, and the high prices
ch rged for the special car, makes 1t ex-
ceedingly costly to exhume and convey
bodice any considerable distance in Mex
leo, the prices ranging all the way from
one to four or five thousand dollars. No
elimination is permitted until after q Two
years burial.
Thu first grave is ALWAYS dug seven feet
deer. and, after year or two, if ueces
sary, it may be- opened and another person
buried in it on top Of the first, and this
is followed up until the grave is filled
with bodies to within two feet of she
top. Horce, enc grave frequently con
ia. u5 four or five bodies, al numbered,
aud the number cut in stone placed over
the burial spot. The law requires that all
graves be numbered, ana the nome Of the
person never appears.
Friends, however, may aud do have the
names of Their did Engraved on the
tOmbs, bat the government number must
appear also.
Persons who die OF contagious diseases
arc never buried, but are placed in tomb
or vaults constructed on the surface.
The peculiar laws and the determined
manner in which they are enforced made
it no easy matter for Major Stewart to
secure the remains of Colonel Frank
Johnson, and the very evening he reached
home Colonel Darden spoke to The
STATESMAN reporter and expressed the
opinion that the difficulties and the cost
would be SO great that the mission of
jor Stewart would be a failure.
The major however, proved equal to
every emergency, and was successful be
yond the most sanguiue of expectations,
and the veterans of Texas owe him debt |
of gratitude.
