Walter BeSant's Maxims.

It is part of the sage to make max
inns. l have for some time suspected
that / have arrived at the period of
life when the sage is at his best, and
l have now therefore tried my hand
at few useful maXimS, writes Wal
ter Besant in the London Queen.
Here they area mixed and miScella-
neous lot. OF cou:se, the sage at
this time of day must be cynical in
order to be popular. l hope some of
these are cynical enough. Those on
riches seem-to a partial parent-to
be maXimS really worthy of the most
Eastern-the most Himalayan-of
SageS.
Out of ten men nine are born to
work for the tenth. Resolve to be
the tenth.
Without trampling the cleverest
cannot get rich.
Dives is never an example, because
nobody considers himself really rich.
If you cannot become rich, remem-
Der the many miseries Of the rich.
The consolation of those who fai
is to depreciate those who succeed.
He who fOresees never acts.
The greatest things are done by the
greatest fools
Wise men never attempt anything.
When you lose a leg begin at once
to practice with wooden one
Mems motives are mercifully hidden
by their shirt fronts.
Observe moderation in all things
especially in virtues.
The best way to make a man hon.
est is to make him ashamed of being
found out
There may be pride even in con-
Tossing mistakes
Everybody says that gentle birth is
an accident. and everybody treats it
as an achievement.
The most charming attribute Of
friendship is the right of candor.
Cheerfulness may be an admirable
cloak.

Give the BOY a Chance.

"Did you ever stop to think what
a hard time the small boy Of to-day
has in getting along in the world?"
asked Chief Clerk Sylvester, of the
police department., to-day, says the
Washington Star. 81 mean the
small boy in the city," be added.
This is subject for serious thought.
Much of the crime committed and
many fast life is the result not so
much of the parents neglect and the
existence of places of evil resort as
the prevailing disposition on the part
of the citizens to crush out the small
boy. At this season Of the year he is
the target for attack on all sides
The majority of the complaints made
to the police just now are arraigD-
ments of young America. If he
coasts down the street in winter he
makes too much noise or threatens to
cut some fellows legs off. he plays
ball on a vacant lot he disturbs the
peace and destroys private property.
If he spins his top in the street he
must move on His marbles on a
piece of well-worn parking keep the
grass from growing. These and
similar complaints, some of them
from the outlying suburban districts,
make the small boy the constant OBJ
ject of attack by the police. What
does he do? Driven from vacant
lots, from barren suburban fields,
bounded from pillar to post, he seeks
safety in seclusion. His mode of life
is changed from outdoor to indoor
sport. The ball is laid aside for cards
and marbles for pool. Secluded
rooms stable lofts, and other shady
places are his retreat. The cigarette,
bottle, and other seductive imple-
ments are employed by him, and in
the early years of a career that might
have been useful he again becomes
prey for the police and must move
on We have a sanitary league,
bathing beach. etc Why not have a
playground for the boys? The young
America of to-day in the city is
dwarfed in every way by restrictions
invoked by those who never knew OF
such in their early days"

An Alligator, : Nest.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which
they can be compared, They average
about four feet in height and about
five feet in diameter, and are con-
structed of grasses and heritage.
First the mother gator deposits one
layer of eggs on a mortar-like floor,
and having covered this with
stratum of mud and heritage about
eight inches thick, lays another set
of eggs upon that, and so on to the
top, there being commonly from 100
to 200 eggs in nest With their
tails the parents then beat down the
tall grass and weeds to prevent the
approach of unseen enemies. The
female watches her eggs until they
are Matched by the heat of the sun,
and then takes her brood under her
own care, defending them and pro-
viding for their subsistence. DR..
LutZemburg Of New Orleans, once
packed one Of these nests for ship
ment to St. Petersburg, but the young
Matched out before they were started
on the long voyage. and were kept
about the doctors premises, running
all over the house. and up and down
stairs, whining like young puppies.

His Future Iyrfe's Name.

He was chatty kind of conjurer,
and was anxious to open the even.
ing's entertainment merrily, says the
London It'd Bits. So he stepped for
ward to the front of the stage and
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, if there is
in this audience anyyoung man who
would like to know the name Of his
future wife, if that young man will
kindly stand up, l will undertake to
tell him, and this is no guessing
competition. Now, will any single
young man kindly stand up?"
Up jumped young man in the
center Of the room.
THANK you," said the conjurer.
''Now do you wish to know the name
Of your future wife,"
Il do" said the young man.
''Well," said the man Of magic, 81
always like to do things il a proper
business fashion: will you kindly give
me your name?"
Eyes, certainly" replied the young
man; my name is James Jackson"
Thank you," replied the con-
jurer, ''then the name of your future
wife will be Mrs. Jackson.

How a Snake swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is very
simple one, although if the frog be
large more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process. The two
bones of the lower jaw are separate
and capable of independent move
ment: so the reptile loosens its hold
uron one side Of its Jaw. and pushing
that side forward as far as possible,
it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the Jaw back to its orig
inal position. The result is that the
pray is drawn down by the move
ment. The process is then repeated
by the other half of the jaw, thus in
eyitably forcing the victim inward.

AUNT JHN,MA's QUILT.

A miracle Of cleaning dyes,
Blue, scarlet, bun, and green;
O, ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were seenl
So grandly was its plan designed,
So cunningly twas built,
The whole proclaimed a master mind
Ny Aunt Jemima's quilt.
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed its share;
1t chronicled the country side
In colors quaint and rare.
From bellies and brides came rich brocade
Enwrought with threads Of gilt;
Zen buxom widows lend their aid
To Aunt Jemima's quilt.
No tapestry from days of yore,
No web from Orient loom,
But paled in beauteous tints before
This strange expanse of bloom.
Here glittering stars and comets shon6
Ger flowers that never wilt;
Here huttered birds from worlds unknown
On Aunt Jemima's quilt.
o, merry was the quilting bee,
When this great quilt was done
The rafters rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won,
Ne'er did q throng of Drawer men
In war clash hilt to hilt,
Than sought the smiles of beauty then
Round Aunt Jemima's quilt.
This work Of art my aunt esteemed
The glory of the age;
No poets eyes have ever beamed
More proudly DER his page.
Were other quilt to this compared,
Her nose would upward tilt;
Such impudence was seldom dared
Ger Aunt Jemima's quilt.
Ger dear old hands have gone to dust,
That once were 1.-the and light;
Her needles keen are thick with rust,
That flashed so nimbly bright,
And here ii lies by her behest,
Stained with the tears we split,
Safe folded in this cedar chest
Ny Aunt Jemimas quilt.

asked the traveller.

the niger comes and knocks and
bawls out, Colonel Shaw, who has
No. 80, reaches for his shotgun. Over

with his revolver. Mayor Brooks,
who is in No 33, always comes in a
good third with Derringer, aud the
rest of the fellows along the hall are
always more or less well heeled."
