A WILDWOOD SCHOOL.
Tho Earnest Efforts of q Racco0n Mother
to Teach Her Young.

Tho Earnest Efforts of Q RaccOOn Mother
to Teach Her Young.
saw the counterpart OF boys
school one day in the woods of I'LL
nols, said an amateur naturalist
was sitting quietly on log near
creek when there came pacing down
little path an old mother raccoon with
i've young ones. The little fellows
were about as large as half-grown cats,
and were as full of fun as that myth
zeal basket OF monkeys we read about.
II ever there was a hard-worked teach
er it was that poor mother coon. She
tried to teach the little imps how to
catch crawfish and how to eat them.
When the old lady tshe was very Ia
dylike old 'eoon) got the little fellows
in line at the waters edge she Sc
dately walked to a rock and gravely
reached down into a hole and brought
out crawfish. She then proceeded to
wash it, but just as she was about to
cat it one little coon broke rank and
stole the crawfiSh.
This started a row, and all the little
fellows were badly mixed, while the
old one was administering bites and
cuffs indiseriminately among the
scholars. She finally succeeded in re-
storing order, and then sent one of the
little 'coons to try it in another hole
Here IL where the fun began in ear
nest, and all the mischievous boys that
ever made a teachers heart ache were
angels of goodness when compared
with these little 'coons. They pinched
each others tails, nipped each others
ears, bit each others legs and worried
the old coon until she turned to and
gave them 4 general cutting all
around.
1t seemed TO me that each little
coon knew his lesson perfectly, and
was determined to get all the fun out
of the proceedings possible, for when
the mother coon got so angry that she
made her bites felt the little fellows
got Down to business and caught,
washed and ate their crawtish with all
the ability of veterans
The comically grave faces of the
little fellows as they reached down
into the crawfsh holes and CROPPED
about for the fish was too much for
my risibilities, and I gave such a
hearty laugh that the school was in
stantly dismissed.-Chicago News.

LEADING paper recently said that
forest fires were far greater evil in
this country than is generally known.
In the last census year a.9s3 fires of
this kind were recorded, of which 1, 1863
were started by persons clearing land,
62s by hunters, sos locomotives, 1OI by
campfires or pipes and 262 by incendi-
aries That the loss of life and prop
erty by forest fires is largely unneces-
sary is proved by the comparative inn
munity from them in Canada, where
the laws arc stringent against starting
forest fire. Canada maintains a fire
patrol and fire wardens, who are au-
thorized to call for assistance.

of the season, when everybody else is
getting out of Newport, Mrs. Willie X,
Vanderbilt has given orders to have
the famous marble palace put in order
and her trusted housekeeper, Mrs. Boil
liet, is there experimenting the work.
Many rumors are afoat. One is to the
effect that Mrs. Vanderbilt intends to
take up her abode in Rhode Island in
order to secure a divorce, the laws in
that state being almost as liberal as
those of South Dakota. Another is
that she and her husband have patched
up their troubles and are to live to-

GIVING CURRENCY TO A LINE.
How Many Familiar Expressions Gain
Popularity.


Popularity.
A successful man of letters can give
to line OF phrase more currency by
quoting il in 4 single article than it
has enjoyed, perhaps, in centuries of
it's existence before. In the best work
the wisdom or beauty of a sentiment
actually suffers sometimes from the
wealth by which it is surrounded.
Where the general level is very high,
there are few saliencies, and an express
sion that would attract, attention by
its very loneliness in an inferior writer
may pass unnoticed in an excellent.
Yet, once severed from its context, its
special merit is Immediately apparent,
and it passes from lip to lip and pen
to pen.
1t may sometimes happen, too, that
to be mitch quoted means to be little
read. Campbell is responsible for many
of our most familiar phrases-for
instance, Distance lends enchantment
to the view CANCEL visits, few and
far between and Coming events
cast their shadows before"-yct how
many people now read either THE
Pleasures OF Hope or Gertrude of
Wyoming?'' The verdict of our own
time has gone in favor of his great
martial odes-cf 1.-THE Battle of the
Baltic" of .Ye Mariners of England"
of .sHohenlinden,'' and of 1.-The Sol
disr's Dream''-butof these only. The
fact Of his furnishing us with lines to
quote is witness to that patient in
dustry in polishing by which he re-
paired his real defect of striking origi-
nal power.-Temple Bar.
