Childish Faith.

An example of childish faith, of kind
dull age wears away, was seen the
other day. A little boy was sitting in
the yard of an old country homestead:
on either side of him sat huge dog, pa
tient and loving. The sun shone down
scorchingly on the trio, and its rays were
uncomfortable. Shading his eyes with
his curved hand the child looked sky
ward and said, ''Put in that sun, please. :"
The sun shone brightly, and the little
fellow repeated softly, ''Please put in
that sun, man up in the sky; it hurts my
head"
Just then over the face of the blazing
orb there sailed white summer cloud,
then another, and the yellow blaze
turned suddenly to hazy, restful gray.
Turning to the dogs, the little boy, put
ting an arm around the neck of each,
said: 'tDid you see the sun pulled in.
Romeo and Chieftain? When you wants
anything, if youis good, and you asks God
for it, he gives it to you. The sun hurt
my head, and / asked him to put it in,
and don't you see how he did reach out
and put it in for me?'' The dogs looked
wise, leaned their heads lovingly toward
the diminutive little theologian, and
whatever might have been their belief,
kept an inscrutable silence.-Providence
journal.

london Life in Ellzabeth,s rIme.

In Elizabeths time the ordering of the
household was strict. Servants and
'prentices were up at in the summer
and at 2 in the winter. No one one on
any pretence, except that of illness, was
to absent himself from morning and
evening prayers: there was to be no
striking, no profane language. Sunday
was clean shirt day. Dinner was at II,
supper at 6. There was no public or
private Office which was not provided
with Bible. In the better classes there
was general enthusiasm for learning of
all kinds. The ladies, initiating the ex-
ample of the queen, practiced embroid-
cry, wrote beautifully, played curious
instruments, knew how to sing in parts,
dressed with as much magnlficence as
they could afford, danced the coranto
and the lavolta as well as the simple hey,
and studied languages-Latin, Greek
and italian.
the last was the favorite language.
Many collected books. DR.. John Dee
had as many as 1000, of which 200 were
manuscripts. They were arranged on
the shelves with the leaves turned out
ward, not the backs. This was to show
the gliding, the gold clasps and the
silken strings. The books were bound
with great care and cost; everybody
knows the beauty of the type used in
the printing. Besant in Har-

why Eyes Are Light and Dark.

An interesting point is the cause of
the different shades of color we see in
the eyes. On a certain membrane in the
interior are numerous cells, called s'pig-
ment" cells. When these are present in
very great numbers they produce that
deep black color of some eyes, and in
proportion to. their numbers decrease
also the depth of color, till finally light
blue is reached. In certain eyes these
pigment cells do not exist at all, being
wanting, indeed, all through the system,
hair and skin. A person of this descrip-
ton is called an albino, and among ami
mails we find parallel in the case of
the white rabbit.-Ch Chambers Journal.

The warrant Was Not served.

..The worst scare ever had, - remarked
superintendent of Police Colbert, "was
one night when Quigley, John Lowe and
myself sneaked into boarding house
without the inmates knowing of our
presence. We went up stairs into the
room of a boarder for whom we had a
warrant to wait for his coming. He was
likely to be in some time between 12 and
8, and was said to be very slippery
citizen. We kept very quiet, as we
didn't want any one to know we were
there A large coal oil lamp was burn
ing in the room, and instead of putting
it out, John Lowe, who had skin coat,
undertook to shut off the light by hold
ing the coat around it. Pretty soon
Lowe fell asleep. We woke him up and
he promised not to do SO any more. But
the promise was hardly cold when we
heard him snoring.
s'This was worse than ever and enough
to wake up every one in the house. We
punched him, and as he awoke, with a
start, he pitched over and the lamp
came to the floor with a crash that, in
the dead silence of the night, could have
been heard half a mile away. There
was nothing for it but to rush out of the
room and down stairs into the street.
AS I went down stairs felt awfully
queer. My hair was standing straight
up, and was expecting at every step
that some one would take crack at us,
thinking we were burglars.
1.-THE next day the papers all had a
sensational account of an attempted
burglary, and one or two of them spoke
of the inefficiency of the police. AS for
us we said nothing. indianapolis Jour

Making a Fuss.

Many years ago prominent clergy
man was consulted by the ladies of his
congregation about certain clerical work
in which they were interested Smiling
at their earnestness, he said: "That's
right, ladies; make fuss-make fussi
That's the only way to get work done in
this world! Set about it yourself and
make fuss while you dor And SO it
is. Thinking about wrongs and signing
over them never mended one. But the
people who exert themselves to right the
wrong, making a good stir about it
while they do, and worrying at other
people to exert themselves, too, will often
force the other people into activity in
sheer self defense.
The other people would like to sit
quiet and take. it out in signing, but
these energetic fussers will not let them.
At last, to get rid of the agitators, they
rouse up, go to work with a will, and
accomplish what is asked of them for
the sake of the peace they obtain there
by. But whatever their motive, all
mankind has the benefit. 1t is not only
well to get wrongs righted, it is also
well to get sluggish people stirred up
sionally.-Harper's Bazaar.

N1aternaI Love OF the whaIs.

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike a calf if possi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware of
the snaring of her young she rushes to-
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
I'm. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing the whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless of the hs,r-
poons that are hurled at her and enter
her hesh.-Detroit Free Press.

Inventors Are Born.

Generally speaking, inventors, like
poets, are born, not made. Nearly every
boy can become good mechanic or
tradesman by diligent study and perse-
verance, but not every one can become
good inventor. If he has ssknack'
for invention, study and hard work will
greatly help him, and he stands fair
chance some day of succeeding as well
in his chosen line as his brother play
mates do in business or professional life
Invention is no longer a spasmodic work,
but legitimate branch of industry,
which has its rewards and remunera-
tions for those who follow it faithfully

rhere Are No B1ind rI.b.

There are many animals in the world
which pass all their lives in darkness,
never seeing d ray of light. Every one
has heard of the blind fishes of the Mann
moth cave. The latter is the biggest of
500 great caverns in the United States.
All of them are inhabited by numerous
other sorts of creatures that have no
eyes for vision. Literally speaking there
is no such thing as blind fish, since the
most sightless of the finny tribe possesses
visual organs in rudirnentary condi-
ton, but through want of use the optic
ganglia and nerves have broken down
and been absorbed. - Washington Star.

HOW AN AUNT WAS FOUND.
Lost child whose knowledge OF

A Lost Child whose Knowledge OF
Botany Came Into Good Play.
Colonel w. D. Moore tells story which
would, could it be given in print as Mr..
Moore tells it, produce great effect.
Ex-Sheriff Cfuley was accosted day or
two since at the corner of Sixth street
and Liberty avenue by a little tot, girl,
too young to talk plainly, who pulled at
his coat and asked ssDo 'oo know Aunt
Tatie?'
Somewhat surprised, Mr.. Cluley re-
piled that he could not say unless he
knew ssAunt Tatie's'' last name. The
child opined that the wanted party
didn't have any last name: she was "dist
Aunt Tatie." The little one then ex-
planned that she was lost, and she was in
great distress, her lips quivering SO that
at times she could scarcely speak.
Mr.. Cluley thought with all his might
for few moments, when an idea struck
him and he asked the child for descrip-
ton of his aunt. The little maiden re-
piled that 'Aunt Tatie" was rather tall
and wore nasturtium flowers in her bon
net.
Now, Mr.. Cluley would hardly stand
a creditable examination in botany. He
knows cabbages from potato vines, and
knows the nasturtium when he sees it
on the table in the shape of pickle, but
to save his soul he could not tell what
its flower was like. Again he rubbed
his dome of thought until he rubbed
into it fresh suggestion and acted upon
it at once. Accosting lady who was
passing, he asked her if she knew a mas
turtium flower when she saw it. She

tion as an i1npertinence, when Mr.. Clu-
ley fastened to explain, and begged her
to take an observation and ascertain
whether there were any ladies in the
neighborhood with that familiar flower
in their bonnets.
The lady glanced into several milli-
merry and dry goods stores, and finally
called out that she had discovered a
lady with bonnet bearing the flower
wanted. She pointed her out, and i'm
mediately the little one cried out joy
fully, ''That's Aunt Tatie''
''Aunt Tatie'' was disposed to be cross
with her charge for wandering away
from the spot she had designated to wait
until her aunt did some shopping, but
Mr.. Cluley's feelings were aroused, and
he wouldn't hear the little one scolded.
Instead he proceeded to reprimand the
woman for her thoughtlessness in leav-
ing her charge exposed to the danger of
being kidnapped.
"Aunt Tate" had become SO interested
in her shopping that she had forgotten
to note the flight of time. Had the little
one not been bright enough to recollect
the name of the flower in the bonnet she
would probably have been crying her
eyes out, guest at the central station,
and her aunt would have been frantic

In Maine town near. the seacoast
was one of many communities where the
men We're, SO to speak, cross between
farmers and sailors, and where, as a

How the Natives Treat Gorillas.

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as human
beings of inferior types, and it is for
this reason that for long time it was
found impossible to get hold of an entire
gorilla skin, because the savages con-
sidered it religiously necessary to cut off
the hands and feet of the animals when
they killed them, just as they do with
their enemies, possibly for the purpose Of
rendering them harmless in case they
should by any chance come to life again
