Count Kalnoky Of vienns. and mysterl-

the same pretty and ickle actress, Mittie

In making an advantageous engagement

A MARTTNET policeman in Boston ar
rested man for kissing his wife. Mrs
Noyes is a handsome young woman, and
those who saw her in court did not blame
her husband for kissing her, even on the
street. But they were not on the side
walk. They were in doorway waiting
for an East Boston car. They had been
visiting a friend, and had remained until
late hour. AS there appeared to be no
one in sight, Mr. Noyes put his arms
around his wife and kissed her two or
three times. She looked especially
pretty that evening, and her husband
couldn't resist the temptation. The
Boston policemen must have very definite
and uncompromising ideas Of propriety.

OUR BOYS.
The stone Age.

lDt. NlCllOldosl
From the tools thst are found in the lake
dwellings. in the caves and in peat beds, we
suppose that there were three distinct
periods in the life of mankind. First came
the stone age. in which tools and weapons
were made of stone; second. the bronze age,
in which they were of bronze; and third, the
iron age, in which iron implements appear.
We must remember that when the first
men lived they had no tools to work with,
nor weapons with which to battle against
wild beasts. When thrown upon their own
resources to defend themselves, they prob
ably threw stones. think small boys
first instinct in fighting is to throw things.
They soon found that sharp stones were
most effective, so they began to rub them to-
gether to sharpen them. They next put
pointed stones in the ends of sticks and
made spears. To cut up the flesh of animals
they made stone knives. They discovered
the use of the bow and arrow, for some of
the sharpened stones that are found must
certainly have been arr0w-heads. They
made hammers and axes and chisels Of stone
All these were Clipped so as to give them a
cutting edge, They made great stone NOR
tars and pestles for grinding corn. At first
there was little ornament, but toward the
last of the stone age the knives had carved
bone handles, and even necklaces are found
of roughly carved amber beads.
They had no combs nor pins nor needles
nor thread in the earliest times. But they
soon found out that they could fasten
things together with the flores of plants,
or with thongs made from the skins
of animals. They made implements of horn
which served for needles. They early dis
covered the use of fire. Maybe men first got
fire from a volcano, or they may have
dropped or struck one piece of flint on an
other and have seen the spark. 1t NAV be
that it set something on fire and they felt
the effect-the warmth

But they were not contented to be beauti-

the wind to unloose them, so that they could

very soon the rose leaves were Embossed from
their mother bush. They flew down the
road, and for short time really felt as ii
they were butterflies. They saw many
things they had never seen before.
Pretty soon some children came running

How. Mice Make War.
Before we had much observed mice, the
use of their long tails was question that
puzzled us, says a writer In the Northwest.
we do not know of what service they are to
the females. but to the bucks they are, we
see, of use in their combats; for when they
fight they very often face one another stand
ing on their hind legs, the tail then making,
as with the kangaroo. the third feature of q
tripod.
Their appearance. when they thus stand
facing one another. with their heads thrown
back and their paws In front of their
faces Is on account perhaps of the re-
semblance 1t bears to the posture of
OF prize fighters. extremely comic. Small
mice, also, when attacked by their bigger
congeners, raise their paws before their
faces, the attitude in that case strangely sug-
costing one of depreciation.
What occurs when belligerent bucks ac-
tuaily engage only instaneous photography

they never appear to get hurt much and be-

showing their excitement by rattling their

tail seized by the teeth leads to one mouse
