OF Course He Knew.

A little boy in a Chicago public
school recently handed in to the teacher
the following composition on sour
Breath -: Sour breath is made of air.
If it were not for our breath we would
die. The breath keeps going through
our liver, our lights and our lungs.
Boys shut up in room all day should
not breathe; they should wait until
they get out of doors. Air in room
has carboncide in it, and carbonocide
is poisoner than mad dogs. Once some
men was shut up in black hole in India,
a carboncide got into that there hole
and afore morning nearly every one of
them was dead. Girls wear corsets,
which squeeze their diagrams too much.
Girls cannot run and holler like boys,
cause their diagrams are squeezed. If
l was girl l would just run and holler
so my diagram would grow. That's all

Gated his leg, and was taken by his
mother to " bonesetter" in whom
she had great faith. The leg was duly
examined, and it was found necessary
to haul it very severely in order, as the
bonesetter said, "to get the bone in"
The lad was liberal with his screams
while this was going ON but eventually
the bone was "got in" and the patient
was told that he would be all right in a
few days. Didn't Davie do the thing
well?" said the joyous mother. cay,

The Governor Question.

Editor Waterman While there is much
being said on the governor question, which
of itself is of importance, there is little said
about the acknowledgement nor has there
ever been anything said about the office of
speaker of the house, either of which offices
are of equal if not greater Importance than
that of governor for the speaker has the
appointment of all committees in the house,
and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is president of
the senate. These officials can easily, and
frequently do, select those that will report
either for or against measure, just as they
desire, or that will withhold report as &C.
cason requires.
AS to who shall be the nominee for gov
ernor, it matters but little, if we get a man,
one who will see that all have equal rights
and that special privileges are given to
none. Some say, "Giye us a farmer for
governor" No one would like TO see a
farmer governor better than myself; but
the evils of which many complain would
not be removed by one of our own number
in the governors chair. The fault, dear
farmers, is not in our stars public otiicers),
but in ourselves, that we are underlings and
have to bear the burdens of which many
justly complain. Join grange or league,
and discuss those questions that you con-
slider are of vital Importance to us as state
and nation; learn how TO reach the masses
educate yourselves up to the standard that
shall command attention, and, knowing
your rights, dare maintain them. Then you
shall seek redress and obtain 1t. WARD.

Origins of Great Arts.

The art of printing took its origin
from some rude impression taken Oor
the amusement of the children) from
letters carved on the bark of beech
tree.
Gunpowder was discovered from the
falling of a spark on some materials
mixed in mortar.
The stupendous results Of the steam
engine may be traced to the boy who
sat watching the steam which came
from the nose of the tea-kettle.
Electricity was discovered by per-
son observing that piece of rubbed
glass attracted small bits of paper
Pendulum clocks were invented after
Calico stood observing the lamp in a
church swinging to and fro.
The telescope we owe to some chill
dren of spectacle maker placing two
or more pairs of spectacles before each
other and looking through them at the
distant sky. Their idea was followed
up by older heads.
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his
garden one day, when he saw an apple
fall from tree. This common occur
renee set him to thinking why things
should fall down and not up, and this
train of thought led him TO the dis
covery of the law of gravitation.

The POst.OMce,

Harper's Young People tells US where
and by whom the post-of1ice was in
vented: "The invention of the post
office is ascribed to Cyrus, King of Per-
STA, who lived about 600 B. c. CYRUS
required all of his governors to write to
him exact accounts of everything that
occurred in their several districts and
armies. The Persian empire was of
vast extent, and some means had to be
provided to render that correspondence
sure and expeditions. Cyrus therefore
caused post-ot1ices to be built and mes
sengers appointed in every province.
He found how far good horse, with an
experienced rider, could travel in day
without being hurt, and then had
stables built in proportion, at equal dis
tances from each other. AT each of
these places he also appointed post
masters, whose duty it was to receive
the letters from the couriers as they ar
rived, and give them to others, and to
give fresh horses in exchange for those
that had performed their part of the
journey. Thus the post went continu-
ally night and day, rain or snow, heat
or cold, and Cyrus received speedy
news OF all occurrences, and sent back
whatever orders he considered neces-
sary. Darius, the last king of the An
Gent Persians, was superintendent of
them before he came to the throne"

Some Common Phrases.

Some of our idiomatic phrases are
amusing rather than didactic. Take, for
instance, the very common remark made
when some one of the company has told
harmless secret-"You have let the cat
out of the bag" 1t is at once figure Of
speech and a picture, but veritable
bugbear to foreigner not versed in the
mysteries of our language. The same
idea is expressed in another idiom,
you've tipped up the apple cart" A
phrase that has an expressive meaning
is one which epitomizes whole volumes
of advice-"Keep a stiff upper lip.

The Human Friendships of Dogs.

The attachment of the dog to man
outweighs and almost obliterates at
tachment in him to his own race. There
is something shocking to our high opin-
ion of him in the callousness with
which he will sniff at the stiff body of
a brother-dog; he will follow his mas
ter to the grave, and sometimes die on
it; but the loss of his own kind leaves
him unmoved. l never knew more
than one exception to this; it was,
however, noteworthy one. l had two
puppies of the Molussus, commonly
called the Mlremma, breed; large,
white, very beautiful dogs, with long
hair; varying in size between New
foundland and collie; the old Greek
race of watch-dogs to which, quite GER
tainly, Argos belonged. These puppies,
named Pan and Paris, lived together,
fed, played and slept together, and were
never separated for moment for seven
months. In the seventh month Paris
fell i'll of distemper and died. Now, by
my own observation l can declare that
Pan nursed his brother as assiduously
as any boy could have nursed another;
licked him, cleaned him, brought him
tempting bits to eat, did all that he
could think of; and when his brother
at last lay there cold and unresponsive
to his efforts, his grief and astonish-
ment were painful to see. From that
time he ceased to play; from being a
very lively dog he grew grave and sad I;
he had wisttul, wondering inquiry in
. his eyes which it was pathetic to be-
hold; and although he lived for many
years after, and was as happy as dog
can be, he never recovered his spirits;
he had buried his mirth in the grave of
Paris. Something was lost for him
with his brother which he never re-
gained. This is the only instance l
have known of dogs love for another

Juvenile Theology.

Little Daisy had pet cat, to which
she was so devoted that her anxious
mother feared her affection was exces.
sive and undertook to lessen it.
My DEAR" she said," you love your
pussy too much. What would you do
if she were to die, for you would never
see her again?"
"Oh, yes, mamma" replied the little
one, confidently; 81 would see my
pussy again when went to heaven"
mo, Daisy" said the mother" ami
mails have no souls, and when they die
that is the end of them. They cannot
go to heaven like people,"
This attack on her childish theology
was too much for Daisy. Her eyes
filled with tears, but suddenly the little
face frightened, and she exclaimed
triumphantly: " Animals do 90 to
heaven, for the Bible says the promised
land is flowing with milk and honey,
and if there are no animals in heaven,
where do they get the milk?'-Balti-

White Ants.

The most dreadful insect invader is
the white ant. In Africa their houses
are dome-shaped mounds often eight
cen feet high. These insects erect
pyramids one thousand times higher
than themselves! In their travels the
ants so conceal their approach that
their presence is not suspected until
the damage is done. They usually
tunnel into any object which they at
tack, often reducing it to a mere she'll.
In this way they have been known to
ascend within the leg of a table, devour
the contents of a box upon it, and de-
scend through tunnel bored in an
other leg, in one night. An officer of
the English army, when calling upon
some ladies in Ceylon, was startled by
a rumbling sound. The ladies started
with alright, and the next instant they
stood with only the sky above them.
The roof had fallen in and lay all about,
leaving them miraculously unframed

Lincoln and the Kittens.

President Lincoln was as sensitive to
external impressions as the test paper
of the chemist. The results of a bat
tie panied him as though he himself
were among the wounded or had lost
brave son. This ympathy-that is, his
power of putting himself in another's
place-extended even to animals. The
day on which Grants army began the
final advance, the president sat in
small telegraph office at City Point, re-
ceiving kilograms and examining
pocket chart. Three little kittens were
running about the hut, in which was
the office. The president of the nation,
whose fate was in the scales, picked up
the kittens, placed them on the table,
and said: "You poor little miserable
creatures, what brought you in this
camp of warriors? Where is your
mother?" 1.-THE mother is dead"
answered the colonel in charge. "Then
she can't grieve for them," said the
president, with sigh, as many poor
mother is grieving for the son who has
fallen in battle. All, kitties, thank God
you are cats, and can't understand this
terrible strife. There, now go, my
little friends" wiping the dirt from
their eyes with his handkerchief: that
is all | can do for you. Colonel, get
them good milk, and don't let them
starve. There is too much starvation
going on in this land, anyhow. Let us
mitigate it when we can" The great
president, even at such crisis, could l.,
as Admiral Porter says, find time to
look at Gods creatures and be solicit
Gus for their comfort. "-Ma11ord' s

Many are familiar with the famous
"Buffalo Bills" wonderful wild west show.
Prior to his venture abroad, Mr.. Cody exhib-
tied at Staten Island, in New York Harbor,
where he became afflicted with Malaria.
Knowing the virtues of Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa, Mr.. Cody sent to the agents for this
wonderful Indian remedy, and after using
few bottles was permanently cured.
at is a remarkable medicine, said Mr..
Cody "and have known of its virtues a
long time. You may use my name and say
that for what it claims to do it has no equal,
and for malaria and chills it is far superior
to quinine in many ways"

superior curative qualities, combining the

from the forests and gardens of nature.
