A Beautiful Description,

Almost every one knows the distress
occasioned by sudden tendency to
cry at time when one wishes to APP
pear particularly unmoved and even
stoical.
Marjorie never cries when any little
mishap befalls her, and has been
known to sustain without shedding a
tear severe bumps that have rapidly
acquired black and blue aspect. But
the other day Araminta. her dearly
loved and tenderly cherished doll, fell
into the open CRATE and received a
confusion OF the nose which was most
unpleasant to contemplate.
Marjorie winked very hard for few
minutes. and then, running with her
injured Araminta to her mother, she
buried her head in her mothers lap,
sobbing: "Oh. mamma. don't want
to cry. but my tears have all come I'M

''How old are your"
"Ask maw."
Where do you live?'
''ro home"
You look like bright boy.
''Tell We, mister. I'm way out O.
sight. an don't you forget it,"
Don't you think that 80 bright a
boy as you are ought to be more man
nerly?'
"Say, looky here, I'm in it, l am,
an l amt goin' to let no old duffer
pump mo on private matters-hye,
bye"
And the precocious child put his
hands in his pockets and waited HIM
self down the street, whistling 'An-
ME Rooney"
The kind old gentleman happened
to be his uncle. just returning from a
long residence abroad. and when
Willie got homo that night his name
was William.

A friend OF the writer owns a mon
key. which answers to the name OF
"JOcko." The children OF the house
and Jocko are boon companions. and
OF a summer afternoon enjoy a
frolic together upon the lawn. One
day some one threw a match down,
the grass igniting and making a little
blaze.
Jocko saw it, stopped and looked.
then glanced all around. and seeing a
piece OF plank not far of, ran for it,
crept cautiously to the fire. all the
time holding the plank as shield
between himself and the flame; then
threw the plank on the fire, and
pressed it down and extinguished it,
What child could have reasoned
better and done more? Although,
perhaps. no danger could have come
from the fire, still no one knows what
the result might have been; and tho
monkey evidently believed that pru-
dcnce Is the better part OF valor.

The Weather Bureau,

The signal service corps of the army
was relieved, on July !. according to
the provisions Of an act of Congress. Of
the duty of furnishing the public with
the daily weather reports. and this
work was turned over to the Derart.
ment of Agriculture. Gen. Greeley is
succeeded as chief Of the Bureau BY
Prof Mark w. Harrington, professor
OF astronomy In the University OF
Michigan, at Ann Arbor, and editor
OF the American Meteorological Jour.
nal. He is about 43 years old, and
is regarded as an accomplished student
OF meteorology and climate problems
He has had considerable correspond.
ence with the department about china.
tic matters in relation to agriculture,
having prepared bulletin on the sub.
ject, which is about to be published by
the forestry division of the department.
The intention Of Congress in making
the change was that the work Of the
weather bureau might be extended
beyond its present scope in
every way where such
enlargement could possibly be of bene-
mt to our agricultural interests. Secre.
tary Rusk says the work of the meteor.
illogical service of the United States
government must go far beyond the
mere forecasting of the weather, and
be so extended as to include a thor.
ough systematic investigation into the
climatic conditions OF the various sec
tons of the country, in order that
full knowledge Of them and of their
effects upon plant growth should be
available for the farmers.
