Travelling Children.

There is much written nowadays con
corning the home amusement of children
Would it not be well if suggestions were
offered for the entertainment of the little
people while travelling? Any one who
has made q long railway journey must
have had her sympathies aroused for the
tired little mortals, for whom no provi
sion had been made for varying the mo-
notony of the trip. The mothers or aunts
accompanying them were provided with
books or knitting work, but the poor
children had not even strings to play
cats cradle. No wonder that under these
circumstances they fidgeted and wearied
their companions until travelling with
children was voted bore. If new pic
ture book, a pencil and paper, a game or
q small doll had been provided. to be
brought out at the first appearance of
rettlessness, the vote might have been
different. York Housekeeper.

Satellite of the Star AIgol.

Professor Vogel, the German as
tronomer, has recently made an inter
esting demonstration of the existence
of companion to the big variable star
Algol from photographs of the stars
spectrum. Algol is 134 times as large
as the earth, butsutfers partial eclipse
at short and regular intervals, when it
loses about five-siXths of its brilliancv,
and falls from a star of the second
magnitude to one Of the fourth mag
nitude. Professor Vogel demonstrates
by photographs of its spectra, what
was before suspected, that Algol has a
dark satellite, 100 times as large as the
earth, and moving at a speed of fifty
six miles per second, the interposition
OF which between us and the BIG star
perfectly accounts for its remarkable
variations.
The final demonstration that this
satellite exists is scarcely more remark
able than the fact that it has been more
than century since the astronomical
observer Goodricke, who discovered
Algol's variations, explained the phe-
nomenon by the revolution round il
of some Opaque body. 1t has remained
till this time for the spectroscope to
verify his hypothesis. : New York

He Could Not Purr.

A little girl who has just begun the
study of French has also been given a
black poodle, straight from Paris, and
though she is not especially fond of his
native language she is tenderly attached
to Jacques. One day she was trying ia
make him acquainted with the kitten
which she held in her lap. advancing he1

which Jacques held awkwardly in the
air, embarrassed by so much attention.
At luncheon the little girl gave her faith

A Cat Tran.

over IN certain west side neigh

and as poison, bootjacks. soap dishes
and other bric-a-brac have proved un-
awaiting in attempts to arrest the
plague, the people have been at a loss
what to do. Finally an inventive
young man arranged trap which has
proved highly effective in some cases.
tie first spent some time in fixing up
an artistic wire moose, and this he ar
ranged over a pulley in the shed Just
back of his house.
1t was SO arranged that a cat pok-
ing his head through the moose would
spring the trap, and ten pound dumb
bell on the other end of the wire would
descend and jerk the offending feline
up toward the roof In a day or so
the remains of the animal would be re-
moved. At first it was difficult to get
the truant cats to poke their heads
through the deadly moose, bat a lady
who lived next door, and was in sym
pathy with the movement, furnished
a little catnip, and this was sprinkled
about the trap. 1t was great bait, and
already eight cats have climbed the
golden stair via the deadly wire route.

Worked Out His Own Cnpa

An Anglo-Indian officer of the Bengal
artillery relates an anecdote of one Of
those soldiers who in military phrase are
known as malingerers, but whom COM
mon people would call shirks. A gunner
named lchabod Crabb went to see the
hospital authorities on the subject of a
strange affection of the back, which com
PEELED him to walk somewhat in the
shape of capital &C" II amt in no
great pain" he said, '' 'cept when tries
to stand hereof, an then my back seems
to break clean in two. l couldn't stand
up, not if my life depended on it." AS
there was heavy gun drill going on at
this time DR.. Triton formed his own
opinion OF the case and determined to let
the man work out his own cure.
He ordered Crabb's breakfast to be
placed on a high cupboard in the wall.

to stand erect. At dinner time the cook
reported Crabb's breakfast to be untouch-
ed. Put his dinner in the same place. "
commanded DR.. Triton, and the treat
ment was continued throughout the day.
The next morning when the doctor call
ed to see his patient he found that his
prescription had been efficacious. Crabb
had eaten his supper and breakfast and
declared himself fit for duty. Cupboard
Crabb," as he was afterwards called,
confessed that he had tried to deceive
the 'old DOCTOR" but had found himself
beaten.-San Francisco Argonaut

TALKING UP THEIR TOWNS.

The Atlanta Constitution offers
the following seasonable and sensi.
bic advice:
The growing towns of Georgia
are doing now what they should
have done long ago-telling the
world about it. The way to increase
the prosperity Of town is to adver-
tise 1t; a liberal investment in this
way is sure to bring large returns
in business and population, and the
people are beginning to realize this
and are working on the right lines.
Thus we see well-displayed adver-
tlsements in influential newspapers
and trade journals setting forth the
advantages ofGeorgia towns-in the
journals of the North, as we'll as
those of the Southland great bene-
tit has resulted and will result from
them.
A town cannot be prosperous if
the people are content to fold their
hands and wait for the outside world
to come their way and take hold of
and build up their enterprises; they
must first go to work themselves
and let the world know that they
are working ; then it will come to
their rescue and give them lift
IN their labors for the upbuilding
and developing OF their section.
In this connection it is also pleas
ing to note that the enterprise and
progress of which the people are
talking through the newspapers is
not generally the result of 'booms,'
which are here to-day and gone to-
morrow, but of steady growth, en-,
couraged and sustained by the rich
promise of success found in the IN
limited resources of the South.
The advice of the Georgia editors
to their readers is, "Talk up your
town." This is good advice, and
the people are profting by it, but
they are talking and working too,
and herein lies the secret of their
success"

Two Strings to His Row.

The prairies of the west are great
places for wind" said wild west tele-
graph operator. Il used to have a
station out in Nebraska, right out in the
open prairie, and the way the wind
blew there was a caution. But it was
lucky wind for me. At a station
about thirteen miles west my girl
lived, and, as had no Sunday trains
or business of any kind, l used to 90
up there and stay over Sunday.
But livery horse from Saturday
night to Monday morning cost me too
much money, SO rugged up sail on
an old tie car. All l had to do on
Saturday night was to hoist my sail,
push the tie car out on the main
track, and in less than an hour l was
at my journeys end. For more than
a year went to see my girl every
Saturday night by means of that sail
car. Pretty sleek, wasn't it,
Eyes, pretty sleek. But you don't
mean to say that the wind blew in the
same direction every Saturday night
during all that time?"
"Of course l don't"
well, how did you manage on
those nights when the wind blew in
the other directions'
Easy enough. l had another girl
at a station fifteen miles east. New

cost of maintaining a sixteen candle
power lamp for twenty-four hours wa:
shown to be G.82 cents. A careful study
of these data should be made by the

Names That Fit Their Trade.

The death of Adam Forepaugh will
recall the frequency with which this
city has supplied illustrations of the
curious adaptation of surnames to bust
ness occupations. The explanation
usually found for such fitness is that
a great many names were originally
derived from occupations, and the
number of such names is so great that
after all it is not remarkable that some
modern Smith should return to the &C.
cupation of the founder of his family.
But that the bearer of the name
Forepaugh and the owner of a me-
nagerie should be combined in the
same person cannot be explained in
this way. Nor will it account for the
equally striking adaptation of the
name to the profession of that famous
Philadelphia physician, DR.. Philip
Syng Physick. 1t does not explain
how Professor Hartshorne came to be
a physician. The ex-president of Sc
lect council, Mr.. Lex, is a lawyer. as
his father was before him, and the
same name translated from the Latin
into English has been borne bv an
other Philadelphia lawyer. The di-
rectory of any large city will furnish
great many similar instances, but
not often where the persons have at
tanned the prominence of those men
tloned.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
