BOYS WILL BE BOYS,
The Young Californian Who Wisely Pre-
ferred Fun to Grief.

All, me! Boys will be boys, and
youth, looking out upon a glorious
world with clear bright eyes, can see
even through tears the brightness of
life, says the San Francisco Chronicle
Tears seem to thicken and grow opaque
with the years that pass over us. She
had taken her boy to school in Europe
to one of those schools by a Swiss
lake, margined with fruits of gold and
whispering myrtles, and all that sort of
thing. 1t was the first time they had
really been parted, and she had to come
back to far-of California and leave him
to the tender mercies of strange teach
ers and bigger boys. She saw the
school-gate close upon him, and he had
a tear in his eye as he kissed her good
by. There were several other boys in
that school, and on the lake rode at
anchor whole lot of boats. One
young aristocrat owned yacht that
basked in the Swiss sunlight and rode
over the shadows of Swiss mountains
mirrored in the waters just rippled by
breeze. She wendell her sad way to
the hotel She had chosen room from
which she could see into the play
ground of the school and get, if
possible, a last glimpse of her boy be-
fore she wendell her weary way to the
far west. She sat at her window, her
eyes filled with tears, and she thought
of him in there among strange boys
and wretched and miserable. crying
over their parting. She felt as if she
must 90 there and take him back that
it was inhuman to leave him. And so
she cried ali to herself and felt us if her
heart would break, when she saw a lot
of boyH making for the lake. She saw
some of them get on board the yacht
and weigh the anchor and hoist the
sails. She cried all the harder because
she knew her boy had no yacht and it
seemed so hard on him. The yachts
canvas filled, and as it sailed past the
window through her tears she saw a
boy alternately hauling on rope and
waving his handkerchief. 1t was her
beloved son. He had found out in ten
minutes who owned the yacht, cottoned
to him, and there they were sailing
| gayly over the lake. She dried her
tears and felt that somehow she had
mistaken her boy if she thought he
didn't know how to get his share Of all
| the fun there was going,
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1890-07-31

Yet each leaf was so perfect and free
from holes as to he impenetrable bv the

The machinery of the great sugar.
beet factory to be established at Grand
Island, Halls County, Neb., has ar.
rived at New Orleans. 1t was shipped
from Antwerp. Fifty tons of seeds
came with it. The boilers and engine
works are bought in this country. The
plant, the third in this country and the
largest, will handle $50 tons of beets 3
day. The other two factories are in
California.
The original flag of England was the
banner of St. George, i. E., white with
red cross, which, on April II, 1906.
three years after James l. assembled
the throne, was Incorporated with the
banner of Scotland-a blue flag with a
diagonal white cross. This combina.
ton was named the Union Jack" in
allusion to the union with Scotland, and
the word jack is probably a corruption
OF JacobuS, jacques or James.

Burmese Rat-Catching.

Rats may readily be induced to Jump
or drop into any receptacle especially
as it affords them adequate conceal
lingering suspicion of their inability to
reach the only existing outlet when the
time for retreat approaches. Thus
traps on this principle may readily be
designed and are preferable to our traps
where the vermin is numerous. This
method was thus explained by our cor
respondent, who spoke of the trap as
being most successfully used in Bur-
NAH where the rats are a perfect pest.
This trap was set for three nights.
On the first occasion | saw seventy-two
rats turned out. On the second night
only nine rats were caught, and on the
third night not one was caught. The
trap was then put away for some
weeks. when it was again successfully
used, but | am unable to say to what
extent it then succeeded. The COM
mon Pegu jar | u ed was about one
and one-half or two feet deep and four
teen or fifteen inches broad and hole
was punched in the shoulder just large
enough for a rat to enter. There was
about six or seven inces of paddy (rice
in husk) in the JAR which was then
buried to within eight inches Of the top.
The mouth of the jar was then closed
with Il board and stone. A quantity
of old timber joistS and straw were in
the clubhouse, and no end of rat-holes
everywhere around.
Il incline to the opinion that my
blue-legged BurmaE servant very
judiciously' punched the hole with an
old nail and hammer, for, though it
was by no means regular or quite
round Git seemed at first sight too
smalD it just admitted Il hungry rat. |
do not think the rats, after they had
eaten all the grain, could have gotten
through the hole, they seemed so filled
out; otherwise, with such lot in the
jar, some could have got to the hole
and pulled through, | imagine. A
moving mass of frightened, screaming
rats is a bad taking off for a jump, L
admit, but an old fellow now and then
might have hit the hole. | doubt if
he could, however, have got through"
1t is important, in traps Of this kind,
to see that the inside of the vessel is SO
smooth as to afford DO foOthold for the
rats, or they will readily escape by
elm bling the sides.-LOnd0n Ftetd.

A HATEFUL LETTER.
Ine fart Played by the Letter NJ In the
Affairs of the Napoleons.

The first one who discovered Napole-
on'S genius was Marbeuf IN the College
Milit"ire. The battle of Marengo was
the first won by General Bonaparte:
upon this Melas yielded his place in
Italy to him. Later one of his best
generals was Mortier. whose opposites
Napo.eon's betrayer, was Moreau.
Murat was the first victim of hi political
strategy. Maria Louisa shared the time
OF his highest fortune, Moscow became
/ the scene of his fall, and Metternich
vanquished him on the battlefield of
diplomacy.
Six of his generals (Massena. Nor
tier, Marmont Macdonald. Murat and
Moncey) and twenty-six division gen
erals had the initial M to their
names. Maret, duke of Bassano, was
his truest adherer. Montalivet was
his minister, and his first chancellor
was Montesquieu. His last residence
in France was Malmaison. The cap
tain's name who took him to ST. Helena
was Maitland, and his companions
there were Montholon and his servant
Marchand.
The wife of Napoleon III. was Mon
lIJO duI MS must 1uIlllldIe IEleDu was
Morny. The greatest triumph for him
and his army during the Crimean war
was the taking of Malakoff and Name
Ion. The names Monticello and
Magenta appear in the foreground in
the Italian war. Later it is MacMahOn,
who played one of the most important
roles during the Franco-German war,
and who was appointed duke of Magenta
by Napoleon.
Then we come to the epoch when
Napoleon entered Maitland and short
ly after drove the Austrians out of
Mariana. His greatest enemy was
Mazzini. After the battle of Solferino
on the Mincio, Napoleon closed the
gates of Mantua. Then followed the
sad affair of Mexico and Emperor Max
imilian.
In the year 1870 Metz was one of the
aims of the French operations, but be-
ing driven back over the Moselle the
destiny of Napoleon found fatal con.
clusion at Sedan, on the Moselle. Then
followed the captulation of Metz, but
all his disaster was brought about by
the wisdom of one of the greatest STRAIT
egists of our times and the German
fatherland, Moltke.

FOR HOUSEWIVES TO TRY.
Possibly a Useful Bit of Information from

the damage which they do. How to
