Uncle Daniel,

Uncle Daniel was one of the charac-
GERS of the Saco Valley. He was al
waysbubbling owe with droll speeches.
At one time he adopted n city-bred boy
who gave him great annoyance by not
falling in with country ways. Uncle
Daniel tried hard to teach him to NOW,
but in vain, and after a time the old
gentleman was heard inquiring at the
village for a small boy about four
years old"
what do you want him for?" some
one asked.

Georges scythe and keep 1t down, was
the answer.

is a fair fighting weight to carry

The innocent ignorance OF much-en-
crossed men Of science as to ordinary
matters Is Illustrated by an amusing
anecdote of Geoffroy Salnt-Ailaire the
younger, a famous French zoologlst.
Monsieur Saint-Hilaire was accus-
toned to bury himself in his labora-
tory. where he did not allow the AFFAIRS
OF his household to disturb him; ana
Madame Saint-H ilaire, indeed was
careful to guard him against all worry
of domestic matters.
In his laboratory he was accustomed
being q naturalist, to have various
strange animals. OF these, a monkey
was his favorite. His wife possesseu
a necklace of diamonds of which she
was naturally proud. One day ms
necklace was missing. Madame was
in despair, and had the house searcheu'
with the exception Of Monsieur SAINT
Hilaire's room. She knew his disiihe
Of being disturbed, and moreover she
had not entered this room for IL long
time, so that she could not nave iei'
the diamonds there. .
Monsieur Saint-Hilaire was hard ut

and she instructed the servants not 10

He is speaking in the beauty there dis

Where the rarer blossoms are.
Lost in shade.
We shall larger be and nobler for a stron
By the wonders that the meadows now

Not a flower greets the eye
But will blossom by and by
In the soul. m

Not the poorest In the land
But has riches at his hand
