The MOngOOse.

In Mr. Kipling's story Of "Rikki-
tikki-tavi, the Mongoose, in which all
young folks and good many older ones
delight, great respect for that busy
little animal is aroused. The splendid
way in which he fights Nag and Maya
ina, the big black cobra and his wife, is
thrilling.
There is such thing, however, as too
much activity on the part Of the mon
goose The people in the island of ia
maica are realizing this They imported
the mongoose in large numbers to kill
the rats, which were so numerous there
that they did much damage to the sugar
cane. The mongoose promptly killed
the rats, but when they were all de-
stroyed it still went on killing and de-
stroyed all the snakes, toads and crabs
that are useful to eat up the singing
insects that live down there. AS re-.
suit these have much increased, for the
mongoose does not care for them, and
not only that, but the mongoose, having
about finished the rats, snakes and
toads, does not find enough to feed upon
and SO steals eggs and kills young pigs,
lambs, calves, puppies, kittens and game
birds and destroys fruits and vegetables.
Pretty soon the islanders will have to
import something to kill the mongoose

Maryland court Of appeals, man famed
beyond the limits of his state for his
powers of oratory, his integrity, legal
knowledge and keen intellect.
Born in Frederick, Md, the town OF
Barbara Frietchie, Mrs. Mclean first
saw the light of day in the states most
celebrated house, Prospect Hall, the
home of her grandfather, the late Judge
William Pinkney Maulsby. 1t is man
sion built by the famous Dulaney family
in old colonial times. Mrs. Mclean was
born in the haunted room, in which ira
dition chronicles the walling up of a
young girl because of romantic love
affair
Mrs. Mclean is characterized by
broadly liberal tenets in all directions,
is an earnest worker in church and pub
lie affairs. The founding of a chair of
American history at Barnard college by
the New York city chapter Of the Rev
olutionary society, under Mrs. Nc
Lean s regency, has set an example in
practical patriotism for all like societies
to pattern after The other chapters of
every state and territory in the Union,
have experienced an awakening in con-
templating the weighty step taken by
their sister chapter; step which illus
trates it's own aims and principles and
those of the parent association, the Ma
tional Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Such historical advantages are needed
all over the land, and that the opportu-
nifty for such knowledge should first be
made possible in New York, and by the
feminine descendants of Revolutionary
patriots, in the sister institution of old
Kings college, makes the event more
happy and fitting one than it could have
been without such associations. The
work is being sustained at present by an
amount raised annually, while the en-
dowment fund is being accumulated for
the future permanent historical profess
orship.

convicts should be placed on state
farm and employed at fancy farming,
such as raising French peas and mush-
rooms and other products that do not
compete with the ordinary farm prod
ucts. He believes they can be taught in
this manner to have genuine love for
the soil and can thus be started III a
useful and productive pursuit that will
to large extent destroy the criminal
tendency Simultaneous with Pingree's
statement of his plan for the employ
ment of convicts comes the launching OF
his presidential boom in a Detroit pa
per. Recent events showing Pingree's
popularity indicate that Pingree as a
presidential possibility is not so much
Of joke after all.
All of which shows what new kind

Women In Banks.

There are 60 banks in the United
States where women are employed, and,
curiously enough, out of the whole
number all save one are either married
or are widows. Another curious feature
of this employment is that no two wom-
en- are found in any one bank, and nc
two banks where women hold positions
of any kind are located i'll the same city
or town. The posts filled range from
bank trustees, presidents, vice presidents
to cashiers and assistant cashiers.

Game of Tag by Little Cockneys'

Game of Tag by Little Cockneys'
Bows and girls, do you know why you
say. YOU'RE it" when playing tag! VI
course not. The professor didn't either
when we asked him the other day, but
he promised to put his entire mind upon
the subject and let us know at once.
This is what he says, though with
some of his big words left out;
1.-THE people who live over IN Eng
land do not seem to think much OF the
letter III, being in the habit OF drop
ping it from the words where it belongs
and putting it where it does not belong.
What fun there is in it, or why they do
it. no one can tell, but they have been
In the habit of it for a good many hun
bred years.
"For this reason when the little Eng
lish boys who were great-great-grand-
fathers years and years ago were having
grand times in their games they, too,
kept dropping their his from the words
they were shouting.
$50, when they played tag, as boys do
now, touching each other with their
hands, whenever one boy hit another he
at once shouted out, You're 1T for he
could not say hit, you know.
"And all the generations of little boys
who have since then been playing the
game continued to say it, instead OF
hit even after our fathers learned in
America to always put their his in every
other word where they belonged.
"Now, boys, let me whisper a word
of warning. Don't tell your teacher
what the professor says. If you do, she IL
never give you any peace, but will rap
on the window at every recess and tell
you to say hit, instead of it ~

To the originality of Mrs. Donald Nc

birth and development of brilliant
idea. This is nothing less than the
founding chair of American history,
particularly of the colonial and Revolu-

feminine annex of Columbia college, 1t
is the first enterprise of its kind yet en-
tered upon by any of the patriotic orders
of either men or women.
