David Robertson, the Scotch natural
ist, had, when boy, rather an unusua
experience in clothing himself and the
method he adopted seems amusingly
different from that Of boys In our own
DAY, who when they want new jacket
ask for II or go without.
David was early apprenticed to farm
er to herd the cattle, and one day he
went to fair with his master and there
gained prize Of twenty shillings by
running a race When he reached home
his mistress offered him for the pound
enough of homemade wooden cloth for q
coat, but though David joyfully ac-
cepted II, he was disappointed at finding
That the tailor wonld not make his year
ly visit to the house for some time.
With the Impotence OF youth he
begged his mistress TO let him make the
coat himself At first she refused, but
when David persisted, she agreed to the
wild project, stipulating, however, that
be should take all the responsibility and
ask help Of no one
The boy began by carefully ripping
his old coat in pieces for pattern. and
by this he cut the new one, irst mum
boring the pieces IN chalk that he might
know how 10 put them together As all
his time belonged to his master he was
obliged to take his sewing out into the
pasture, and there after month Of
laborious work the new coat was COM
plcted Its buttons came from an old
coat which had been discarded by his
master, and tho thread with which it
was put together had been spun and
dyed ut the house.
When David showed his mistress the
new coat shc was loud in praise Of it,
and declared that not even tho tailor
could have done II better One thing,
however. 1t needed, and that was care.
fal pressing. which no was allowed to
give 1t Mt tho house.
The hardest task OF all remained, for
he was Obliged to rcmake his old coat,
and ~ the seams were frayed and deli.
cate no had 10 exercise great care In join
ing them again. Another month and
this task also was done Then was
David the proud possessor Of two coats.

One of the most beneficent inventions
reported is typewriting machine which
can be easily and effectually operated by
the blind. In constructing the machine
the greatest care has been taken TO pro-
vide means of insuring accuracy of ma

is confidently stated, those who are de-

with AS much certainty as those who can

One Of the most exciting contests ever
witnessed occurred at the depot OF the
Georgia Midland railroad.
The contest was between Ernest Low
er's pet king snake aud little green
snake known an garter" Tho snakes
were about OF equal size and length, and
1t was hard to tell for half nm hour who
would prove the victor in tho contest.
After racing around the cage for some
time the king snake caught the green
one about six inches from the head, slip
ping himself around his adversary and
getting his mouth closer and closer to
Its head The green snake tho while
kept its mouth wide open as il in an Of
fort to get its head too large TO go into
the king snakes mouth and thereby
thwartits effort 10 swallow him. This
effort proved futile. for soon the head
and about six inches of the green snake
were in the stomach of the king At
this point of the game another and more
stubborn contest took place
IN the cage are two wires--one run
ming perpendicular and the other hori-
sontal Twisting itself around the per-
pendicular wire, the green snake tied
itself into various hard knots. Mounting
the horizontal bar, or wire, the king be.
gan the work OF christening the coils Of
the other by continued pulling and swal-
lowing
When the feat was accomplished, with
the exception OF about n half foot OF the
tail, II looked like the king snake would
be defeated. but with some maneuvering
the tail WAS united, and the job of swal-
lowing WAS completed,
After finishing the task the king snake
looked wonderfully pleased. and raced
around eying tho spectators for some
minutes. Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
