fable ofthe parent crab walking

Q few illustrations will show.
The teacher who uses tobacco

little attention paid to moral and

attention, and one of the serious
problems is how to train on those
subjects and not intrench on the

Chicago ana she sells goods like
q January thaw. She has been
out SO long now that she is Us
independent as a hog on ice. She
sits in an ordinary car and
charges up sleeping berths in
her expenses Just like the rest
of US, She walks to the hotels
from the stations, and charges
up the hack fares, just as we do.
She beats the landlord down to

house $3.50, in the regular old
style. She can take care OF her.
self every day in the week; and
she knows how to order up d
bottle of wine, and work Il
on theexpense accounttoo. Why,
when | saw her last she was a
new silk dress ahead of the firm,
and by New Years proposed to
have q sealskin sacque out Of her
expenses. And that isn't all;
she has half of the MOTEL clerks
in the Northwest mashed on her;
and the way the little rascal
knocks 'em down ON her bill is a
caution. She has d regular trick
of staying over Sunday where
one of her admirers runs the
house; and she walks off Monday
morning, forgetting to pay the
bill. What does she sell? That's
the funniest thing about ii. You
would think she would handle
iewelry or millinery, or dry
goods, wouldn't you? But
she doesn't. She sells gents
furnishing goods; and the fly
young men who usually keep
that kind of stores buy of her as
IL they hadn't seem a commercial
traveller Tor six months. And
she is adandy poker player, too.
She handles the cards awkward
", and acts asif she didn't know
a full hand from two pairs. and
raises 81 on deuces, and nearly
tother fellow shows up three of
q kind, and then gets excited in a
big jack pot, and raises the
opener, and bets the limit, and
raises back and scares t'other
fellow out, and slides into the
deck little pair of skies or
sevens or a bobtail as innocently
as you please. Bluff? Why, she
has a bluff ON her like the Wis.

/ tell you its mighty lucky for
the boys that there amt any

Minnesota ala the .North

Minnesota did the North
Star State proud, for amid
prayers, flowers. music and
speech making by distinguished
men, the building which stands
as its representative in this clus.
ter of nations, was formally
opened and dedicated, even tots
baptism with the time.honored
champagne.
Prominent among the many
State and foreign buildings, is
the one for which the Legislature
of Illinois appropriated $500. 600
to build and finish, and truly the
money has been well spent, The
dedication of this palace took
place lastweek, and Coy. Altgeld
and his brilliantly arrayed STAFF
were on hand to lend their pres
ence to the exercises. There
was speech making by the gov;
ernor and also by Chicago's
mayor, Carter Harrison, soldiers
in bright uniforms, music. and
ladies bedecked in rainbow.
colored bonnets. Perhaps the
favored few VINO held invites
to the good things to eat on the
second floor, voted that part of.
the ceremonies the best.
Certain it is, that when the.
dedicatory exercises Of other
States are held, they will have.
to stir themselves to equal their
sister State, Illinois.
A hasty trip was made through
Midway plaisance, and it is safe
to say that one will not regret
the small admission fee it costs
to see these different countries
brought right to our door.
Even to walk the plaisance from
one end to the other, is full of
instruction, for there is much to
be seen that cost nothing.

lace making and other industries.
Among the visitors one after

of Aberdeen, who are much in.

The Japanese have not com
pleted their matched cottages of
reeds, and bamboo. Through
the plated straw fence could be
seen their little progeny playing
and as happy as CLANS at high
tide. Among the other dedica
tons last week were those of old
Vienna and the Chinese theater
in Midway plaisance.
The attendance last week was.
about 10000.

Obedience to Law,


The American Journal of Edu.
cation for April contains the fol
loving article from the pen of
our friend, j. n. David, who is
too well known to many of our
readers to need any special intro
duction here.
Your scope is as mine own,
So to enforce the laws"
An eastern king, coming back
at the head of a victorious army,
leading the conquered ruler in
triumph, and followed by herds
of bleating sheep and lowing
oxen, was met by the aged seer
who, IN the sternest language,
denounced the triumphant king
words that have tloated down
through the flood centuries: BE

fee, and to hearken than the fat
of rams"

full of ambition and anxious to
succeed, as life with its varied
prospects lies all before them.
need to have it deeply impressed
on them, that obedience to law is
the only road to success. 0bedi.
ence to physical law retains the
force Of the oft instructive eye
and ear, keeps the joyous life
bounding through the pulses in
the body. Obedience to economic
laws gives a competence to furn.
ish home with It's comforts, and
leads on to wealth, Obedience
to mental laws fills the mind with
knowledge, and enables 1t to en-
joy the precious thoughts stored
in literature. Obedience to the
laws of our spiritual nature un-
folds the noblest part of our be-
ing, makes US lovers of men and
lovers of God, gives peace on
earth and promises eternal ages
of the highest felicity. Then let
us impress indelibly ON the mind
of the child that obedience to lac

A New Medical Discovery.

A case OF tuberculosis has been dis
covered in COW in one of the city
daIries of Toronto, Canada. When
the affected COW was discovered there
was some doubt as to the nature of
the disease, and it was not until the
animal had been inoculated with
Koch's tubcrculin that positive con-
clusion was reached. This is the first
occasion in which tubereulin has been
used here, and the experiment was
watched with great deal of interest
Veterinary surgeons are of tho opin-
ion that new light has been acquired
whereby tuberculosis can now be
diagnosed beyond shadow of doubt.

Hammer Snakes in California.

A letter from DR.. e. e. Brown says
he and party have made most won-
derful discovery up i'll Kings River
canon. In crossing small creek
they came TO beautiful canon or
basin of about three acres of level
meadows, surrounded by perpcndicu-
lar walls some 800 feet high. A fine
stream of cold, clear water was flow-
ing into the little meadow, but there
seemed to be no outlet. There was 10
way of getting down into the valley,
but quail and rabbits seemed to inhab-
it the little basin.
A pair of opera glasses brought TO
light q number of snakes basking in
the sun OH the flat rock. They were
from one to three feet in length and
had heads shaped exactly like u black
smiths hammer. While the party
were examining with the glass, the
mannuvrcs Of number of the snakes
crawling through the grass a very
large one was noticed making sneak
on cotton tail rabbit. When within
about two feet of the rabbit the snake
stif1ened the front half Of its body and
bent into a right angle. Then his
snakeship Strengthened out suddenly.
bringing the rabbit u swinging blow
on the side of its head which laid
bunny out completely.
Another snake was observed to
creep onto quail sitting on scrubby
tree. This snake twisted about four
inches Of its tail along limb of the
tree and used all the rest of its body
for hammer and handle to whack
the quail on the head such q stingjng
blow that it died without q flutter of
its wings. The snake seemed to have
the wonderful power of lengthening
its body ont nearly double its normal
! length and as small rs WhaleD0nc
whip, the heaviest part being next to
the part wrapped around the tree.
After killing the quail and rabbit
the snake hammered the body into a
pulp, bones anl all, with its head, and
then swallowed the whole business.
The swallowing showed that the ham,
mer part of the head could be laid
back out of the way while the swal-
lowing was done.
Every effort possible with the appli-
anccs they had with them was made
to get one of the snakes, but they

Country Lads.

Boys who are fortunate enough to be
born in the country have uDmistakable
advantages over city lads. The coun-
try is tho place Of all others to be
born in. The associations of youth,
of home, of school, winter, and the
farm work and play mixed together
in a delightful tangle, are never
rooted out, but grow deeper into the
character and become dearer to tho
being while life passes and the revolv-
ing years hold out.
1t is worth more than university
education to have been born and
brought up on farm, of well-to-do
parents. That supplies what no learn
ing from the books ever can. That is
a resource that stands by. 1t is some
thing to feed upon.
And il the boy as q man engages in
business or II profession, he has a
stock of health and sound constitu-
ton to draw upon that will be sure to
carry him triumphantly through when
the city boys are giving way all along
the road. Morally and physically, he
has by far the best of it, New York
