insignificant. The cry of the passing

the rare thunder breaks impotently on
the continent of silence. If a comrade

THE ANGRY BOY.
OHIO.

Tie has taken his toys and gone home,
And refuses to play any more
The jacix.in-the.box, and the little tin dog,
And the cart Shat rolled over the floor;
He is pouting, and thinks he's aggrieved,
But truly, what vexes him most
is to feel It's himself who Is wrong,
In spite OF his home-going boast
He has taken his toys and gone homo,
And refuses TO play any more;
The old Noah's ark, with its windows Cross.
barred,
He has aung by the halt-opened doori
He has taken the animals out,
And piled them along on the shelf,
And martyr-like, there on his chair,
He mopes and he sulks by himself.
He has taken his TOYS and gone home.
And refuses toplay any more;
His quaint wooden soldiers with swords In
their hands,
And the rec uniforms that they wore,
Are gloomily standing in line,
And hushcd is the rub-a.dub drum,
While their juvenile captain near by
Is valiantly chewing his thumb.
He has taken his toys and gone home
And refuses to play any more;
Well, well, let him go, IL was no great sur

And a robin pipes sweet from u spray,
And violets smile from the grass,
While above are the blossoms of May.

A medical missionary in Africa writes
of an invitation received from native
ruler, Queen Sandymanda. A very busy,
energetic woman she has shown herself
to be, so that her limited realm holds
the first rank in that section of the
Dark Continent. Her enemies mostly
men, as we Understandable her sworn
foes, for she has built q town and rules
it successfully. "She rules with an
iron will" and has discounted the
kings living near her domains in all
their attempts to put her down. Her
methods of government are certainly
peculiar She treats her slaves like free
people, allowing them to go and come
as they please, if they only express
their wishes to the royal mistress,
expecting them to faithfully ac-
complish fixed apportionment Of
labor in payment of the food consumed
by each, and which is mainly rice. Her
town, an inland one, having direct com
munication with the sea-coast, has
naturally grown to be u noted center
of trade; 1t is called Jarbacca. 1t is
plain to be seen that this African queen
knows her own mind, and is not to be
dethroned by intriguing men. --Harper's

The Rat I'm the House.

Man has no more constant companion
than the rat The little animal is by
no means a desirable companion, for he
is not honest, he is destructive and not
altogether cleanly, even when in robust
health. When it is known that he is
probably disease-breeder, or at least
the transmitter of disease, how much
more will his presence be deplored and
dreaded. In the house the rat has the
man ut a disadvantage that is direct.
When he gains access to the pantry and
nibbles the cheese, the cake, the roast or
the pie, may he not, il a tuberculosis
victim, leave enough poison behind to
inoculate with the disease all who eat
of what he has polluted? A single
breath from his pest-laden lungs will
breed in the sleeping babe malady'
that all the scientists in the world cam
not cure. In word, the diseased rat
has at his mercy the master of the
house: his wife and his chlldrer4--Chi.
