Poor Louisa,s sore Throat.

A teacher in national school who had been much annoyed by truancy, says London Answers, has recently been stringent in enforcing the rule that her scholars, on their return to school after an absence, must bring her note stating in full the cause of such absence, the note to be in the writing of parent or guardian. The following is note brought by one of her pupils after two weeks absence:
 "Louisa was absent monday, please excuse her.
 "Louisa was absent toosday, she had e sore throte.
 "Louisa was absent wensday, she had Q sore throte.
 "Louisa was absent thursday, she had a sore throte.

Real Fire Is Invisible.

No eye, says the scientific writer, has ever seen real fire. The flame is leap- ing in strange, fantastic form, fifteen or twenty inches upward from the coal and with it is a good deal of black. sooty smoke. The sooty smoke and the flames are one and the same, with only difference of temperature. The sOot which forms the flame is redhot. coal or particle of carbon. The real fire we do not see. The instant that the carbon atoms become really combus- tion, they are invisible. Tn burning three pounds of carbon, the heated state of which gives us flame, the fire work is done by eight pounds of oxygen. The oxygen we do not see The carbon we only see just before it is burned: and the result of the burning is eleven pounds of the compound of oxygen and carbon, which is invisible.

 we feed the animals once in every twenty-four hours," said the director of the menagerie to reporter the oth- CT day, as the meat carver arrived at the house and the animals began to pace ferociously up and down their cages. "We only give them a small meal, for if we allowed them to fill up they would all be dead in a year or so. They're just as hungry as can be when 2 p. m. comes around, and it would not take long for that tiger there to make mince-meat out of those who are watch ing him if he had chance just before meal-time. They get about a quarter of what they were used to before they became captives.
 'They live long in captivity when they are fed sparingly. No. there is no cruelty about it, for, while they are hungry, they are long way off from the starvation point. If we gave them a good dinner they would need exer- else to digest 1t. They can't get exer- else in 5x5 cage compared with roam ing the prairies, the forests and the jungles.
 'It is interesting to see how they know when it is o'clock. That big lion there keeps the time for them. Ev- cry day, fifteen minutes before meal time, he starts pacing up and down with his head almost touching the bars. As soon as the other animals see him they are on their feet in a second and pacing their cages for all they are worth. No matter what they are doing, whether sleeping or laughing at the baby hyena, they know the mealtime and travel about four miles in pacing before they eat. Their eyes are always on the door at that side, for it Is from

The Oldest Family in the World.

The question as to which is the oldest
 family in the world seems to be set
 tied in favor of that of the Mikado of
 Japan. About a dozen of the 400 bar ons in the British House of Lords date
 back to 1400, the earliest being 1464. The oldest family in the British Isles
 Is the Mar family of Scotland, 1903. The Campbells, of Argyle, began in 1190. Talleyrand dates from 1199, Bis
 marck from 1270, the Grosvenor fam fly, the Dukes of Westminster, 1O66; the Austrian House of Hapsburg goes back to 952, and the House of Bourbon to 864. The descendants of Moham- med, born 570, are all registered care fully and authoritatively in a book kept in Mecca by the chief of the fam fly. Little or no doubt exists of the absolute authenticity of the long line of Mohammed's descendants. In China there are many old families, also among the Jews, "but," says a recent writer, "when it comes to pedigrees, there is one gentleman to whom the world must take off its hat, not as facile princeps or primus inter pares, but as a great aud only nopesuch.

could hardly do better; and this team may very possibly prove much more useful than horses in unexpected ways. If the boys, in any of the half-civilized regions through which they must pass, should happen to be threatened with rough usage, these eight huge dogs would be formidable allies.
 The two young men, Kenworthy and Whitw all by name, started from Grand Forks, N. D. From Chicago the boys proceeded to New York; thence, by steamer, they go to Liverpool. After q drive through England they will cross the channel to France, and visit the principal European cities. Then will come a long drive through Asia-prob- ably the most hazardous part of the whole expedition. From some port in China or Japan they will embark for San Francisco. It is then intended to visit every city in the United States and Canada having population of 20,- 900 or more.

New York as a niterary Mart.

Edward ". Box, in The Ladies Home Journal, writes of "The American Lit erary Center" and presents the claims of New York and Boston (between which cities it may be inferred he believes it rests) for the distinction. He summarizes New York in this way "New York un- doubtedly offers the largest market for literature of any city in America. This is naturally so, as must always follow in the case of the largest and wealthiest city of any country. The Empire City controls the largest number of publish ing houses, even though it cannot claim all the principal ones It has larger number of magazines and periodicals of all kinds than any other city, even though it is deprived the right to the first and foremost of all American liter ary periodicals, the leading eclectic magazine of the world or of the most widely circulated channels of serial lit- erature. But, unquestionably, it has the majority, and a powerful majority it is.
 It has libraries galore, one might al- most say, yet the two principal libraries of the country are in other cities. Its list of authors, resident of the city or near it, is long and representative, em- bracing some of the most gifted pens which make contemporaneous American literature. If all our best writings do not emanate from its immense places of output, a goodly portion undeniably do. !"

Something For Nothing.

''It is astonishing" said an observant woman not long ago, "how much some people will give if they think they are getting something for nothing. Now I teach my children constantly that any thing of value can never be had for nothing. There is such thing as luck, and there are bargains. but ill the end you will find that such luck never comes to those who are always on the lookout for it, and that bargains are obtained only by those who know what to buy, where to buy and how to buy"
 Perseverance is surely the keystone of luck And fortune will favor the one who has pluck
