Of his face with his hand and looked
into the tre, and the children wondered
what he saw, for he did not look up

The next morning Hiram got up very
early and fed all the seeds to the pigs;
and then he loaded all the jack o'lan-

carried them off. And he rode, and he

iNGRATlTUDE.


A Sanskrit Fable.
a holy hermit rescued once mouse
A savage bird had seized upon for prey,
And kept the little rodent in his house,
And fed IL from his table day by day.
Soon seeing how o cat the mouse distressed,
And moved in pity for his pet thereat,
The saint, with power OF miracles pos
sesscd
Transformed his protege into q cat.
Hut now the mouse, or rather cat instead,
OF every cur was quite rs much afraid,
whercon the saint, to end the feline's dread,
Wrought new charm, and puss dog was
made.
again his charge is filled with deep alarm,
The beasts Of prey that roam the forest
through
will surely some time do it cruel harm,
A further change-the dog tiger grew.
Now hear the sequel, you, and heed it well;
This creature with an ingrate's heart within,
G'crhoard his guardian once another tell
How he (the tiger first mouse had been.
Chagrined that any one his past should know,
And so give honor TO his human friend,
lie foully purposed by sudden blow
His saviors life to take and body rend
S-Iror," thought he 'if this man be only killed
Twill stop his prating of my former state
All, too, will be with fear and reverence filled
That should conquer one so wise and great"
With such resolves the hermit's haunt he
sought
Drew near to spring, when. warned through
mystic lore,
Mis master read the truth, and quick as
thought
The thanl,less tiger was q mouse once more.
s. noble moral, easil' construed,
Lies meath this story's superficial SENSE
What viler is than base ingratitude,
Or surer of speedy recompenseS

A KING OF METALS.
Tho Value of Platinum as Affected by
Electric Lights.

Electric Lights.
"No enterprise in the world" said a
WE'LL known electrician yesterday, "has
rapidly as the business of electric light
ing. The amount of money invested in
electric light plants in this country to-
day is S12O, 1000, 900, and it was only
eleven years ago, you remember, that
the light was first perfected. From the
few lamps burned by Edison at Menlo
Park in 1879, there have grown into
present use at least 125, 900 arc lights
and 1,700, 900 incandescent lights.
"One of the most noticeable results of
this remarkable growth is the increase
in the price of platinum. Here is an
incandescent lamp. You see the short
strip of wire attached to tho copper con-
ductor just at the top of the globe.
Well, that is platinum. 1t connects the
carbonized loop, and is one of the abso-
lutely indispensable features of the
lamp, because it expands at the same
temperature and in the same proportion
as the glass globe. There have been a
good many experiments for the pur-
pose of determining substitute for
platinum, but none has been found, the
experiments resulting in each instance,
in the unequal expansion of the metal
and the glass, and the consequent break
ing of the globe.
unfortunately every lamp requires a
strip of this metal. / say unfortunately
because it has come to be extremely
yo1uo hla and tho M 10 ora :, NJ orod,ot
i've. Moreover, they are situated in
the Ural Mountains and are practically
inaccessible. AS result of this increas.
Ing demand and diminishing supply,
the price of platinum has advanced tre-
mendously, until it is now almost as
valuable as gold, Five years ago the
metal was seldom used in this country,
being employed only in the evaporating
stills for the concentration OF sulphuric
acid and in the manufacture Of jewelry.
1t was then to be bought in the market
for SS and S. an ounce. A year ago it
advanced to IS an ounce, six months ago
1T had increased to S14, and see by one
of the trade journals that it has now
gone up to $50, which is only few cents
less than gold quotations.
Platinum gets its name from the
Spaniards. AS early as the sixteenth
century 1t appears to have been noticed
that the gold ore in the Spanish mines
of Darien included grains of white
metal endowed with the qualities of a
noble metal, and yet distinctly different
from silver. Its expectation to Europe
was prohibited, because the Spanish
Government found that it might easily
be used in the adulteration OF gold. For
this reason it did not find Its way to
Europe until the middle of the last cen
tury, when 1t was known as ''platina
iel Pinto"--the little silver from the
River Pinto. Since its remarkable
chemical properties were established in
l7SO, 1t has been discovered in New
Grenada, San Domingo, California, |
Borneo and in portions OF Canada. But
.he richest deposits are those In the
Dral Mountains, whore the metal was
discovered In 1928. and whore it has

Two Little Pigs.

Farmer Brown had two little pigs,
whose mother was sick and unable to
afford them any nourishmeht u
AS they were nice, plump little fei.
lows, the farmer could not bear to see
them perish of hunger. So he brought
them into the kitchen, put some milk
into nursing-bottle, such rs babies
use, and offered it TO them. They took
hold at once, and swallowed the milk
with great satisfaction, one after the
other. Very soon they learned to drink
their milk out of small basin, and
would come for it themselves the mo-
ment they heard the farmers voice.
When he stood at the kitchen door
and called: "Come Laddies!" they
would come rushing, full gallop, from
the pig-pen. They always came on the
full gallop, exactly abreast, like little
team; and when they had had their
milk. returned to their mother in the
very same order. Then they snuggled
down beside her for a nap
Sometimes, when they got hungry in
the night, they would come under the
farmers bedroom window, and squeal,
and squeal, for him to get up and feed
them. But he, thinking that would
only teach them bad habit, and that
pigs, as we'll as children, ought to prac-
tice self-control, paid no attention to
them. 80 they had to go back to their
mother, grunting discontentedly, no
doubt
After awhile they became old enough
to drink swill from The trough. like the
other pigs.-Isabella McFarlane, In Our
Little Men and Women.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
One of the Coming Features of Our
Educational system.

| One of the Coming Features of Our
| Educational System.
The coming feature of our civiliza-
tion is the industrial school-the school
| where mechanical trades are taught. A
generation ago the system by which
| trades were taught was apprenticeship.
That system was very Objectionable in
several respects, and has disappeared,
in this country at least, and apparently
in Europe also to considerable extent.
The principal objection to it was loss of
time. Several years were consumed in
learning what could easily be taught,
and better taught, in one-fourth the
time. The lad was frequently su bjected
to the indignities of kind OF slavery,
and generally forced to routine per-
formance of labors with which he was
already quite familiar, and from which
he was learning nothing. Drunken
masters and vicious surroundings very
often formed also part of the situation.
In place of this crude and incomplete
mode, trades are now commencing to be
taught as Systematically as the arts and
sciences. Teachers are selected for
their intelligence, skill, devotion to the
cause and good morals, as we'll as good
manners. The surroundings of the
student-for such he is-are elevating.
He has all the advantages of healthy
competition, besides skilled instruction
OF high grade and the use of the most
improved tools and implements. A
young man coming with good creden-
tials from an accredited institution of
that sort will be eagerly sought after.
He will have no difficulty in getting
good employment And, besides being
a thorough mechanic. he will be
gentleman and a good citizen, so far as
example and proper associa-
tion can make him such. In the ex-
periments heretofore made, the new
system is said to have given excellent
results, and there can be but little doubt
that it is destined to reyolutionizo the
social and business standing OF our me-
chanics. IN. O. Morning Star.
