TRIALS OF A TEACHER.
Striking n BOY Who Was Not Well
Up in Arithmetic.

I'D IN AfltnmeTtc.
Teacher-Suppose, Fritz, you have a
stocking on one foot and you put an
other stocking on the other foot, how
many would you have on both feet?
Boy never wear no stockings.
TeacheT-Suppose your father has
one pig in pen, and he buys another
pig and puts it in the pen. how many
pigs will there be in the pen
Boy-Dad don't keep no pigs.
The teacher blew heavy sigh from
his tired lips, wiped the perspiration
from his scholastic brow and went at it
again with renewed courage.
Suppose you had one jacket, and at
Christmas your father makes you a
present of another jacket, how many
jackets would you have then?
Boyle amt that kind of father.
He never gives nothin' at Christmas.
Teacher-Suppose you have one ap-
pie, and your mother gives you another
one, what will you have then?
Boy-Stomach ache. Our apples are
all cooking apples.
The teacher then began to suspect
the boy was not well up in arithmetic,
but he resolved 20 make one more eff
fort, so he said:
IF a poor little beggar boy has a
cake, aud Jon gave him one more, how
many would he have then?"
Boy dunno. 1 always eat my own
cakes.

go out and play.-Tit-Bits

summer RECORD for Cats.

A New York lady and her daughter
recently opened hotel for cats, and it
seems to have turned out paying con-
Germ, for they receive large number of
both winter and summer boarders. The
cats hotel is situated close to the Hud-
son river, and rejoices in the name of
Naurashaun farm. For three dollars a
cat is boarded for one month, and there
are no extras. Each cat has its own
little home, and even its own yard,
which is turfed. Pussy is an exclusive
creature, and often dislikes to be made
to eat, or, indeed, to mix much with
her fellows. Curiously enough, the only
other boarders taken are parrots and
canaries.

WHERE LIVING is CHEAP.
Some Attractive Features of Abyss
sininn Life.

An interesting series of letters in the
Manchester Guardian tells some of the
attractive features of Abyssinian life.
Table supplies in Abyssinia are so
cheap that an economical housekeeper
could live luxuriously and yet have pin
money galore. Chickens are ten for a
penny. Milk is had for asking. But
ter Is about six cents pound. A good
sheep may be had for from fifty cents
to three dollars. Cows used to be five
dollars, but are now dearer. Potatoes
are about cent a pound; coffee from
ten to twenty pounds for dollar. Bar
ley sells for about three dollars for
1900 pounds, and wheat is still cheap
er. For transportation almost anyone
can have horse, a mule or donkey,
for the former two can be bought for
three dollars each and the latter from
ten to fifty dollars. AL the gold found
is alluvial or surface gold, and the in
dustry is in the hands of few blacks,
who seem to make very good living
out of it. They get most of the gold
by washing the clay brought down from
the mountains by the floods that follow
the heavy annual rains. Owing to its
mountains and valleys, the climate of
Abyssinia varies from tropical to
icicle. 1t is mainly an agricultural
country, and the natives are mostly
herdsmen or farmers. 1t grows cof-
fee, melons, potatoes, cotton; the first
named alone exported under the name
of Mocha would make Abyssinia
wealthy country.

AN ELEPHANTS FOOT.
One of the Most Ponderous Pieces OF
Animal Anatomy.

Animal Anatomy.
Anyone who ever glanced at the foot
of an elephant must be aware thatitis a
ponderous piece of anatomy, but its
actual size is best illustrated by an
anecdote.
Two men in the Central park zoowere
speaking on this subject, and one of
them thought the circumference of the
foot must measure at least four feet.
His friend laughed. at this, but the
younger man, after a second time gaug-
ing the size. insisted that his guess was
correct.
''Nonsense-quite impossible!" ex-
claimed his friend.
And then, as the younger man still
claimed that he was right, they laid a
wager and referred the matter to the
keeper.
what is the circumference of the
fore foot of that big elephant?" they
asked.
'"The circumference of an elephants
foot is very nearly half the animals
height" replied the keeper.
"Will you be so good as to measure
it?" asked the amazed visitor.
And the keeper got a long cord and
went in beside the monster, Bazzle, who
stands eight feet five inches in height.
"Of course 1 measure while the ami
NAL is standing squarely on all fours,"
he said. "If 1 were to take the foot up
from the floor, it would not be quite so
large; small part of that size is
caused by the spreading out of the soft
matter of the foot by the pressure of
the animals own weight"
He drew the cord around the monster
foot, held it up, and measured it with
tape line. The figures showed four
feet two inches.
The man who had lost the bet paid it,
with the remark that he did not think
he was paying too dearly for that curl

FOOD AND BEAUTY.
Good Complexion Depends Altogether
ON Healthy Digestion.


on Healthy Digestion.
The seeker after rosy cheeks may
fill whole cupboard with lotions, and
spend half of her time IN the beautify-
ing bathtib, but success will not crown
her efforts after beauty unless she turns
her attention also to her diet List.
Clear compilations do not wait on the
| tickle, NOR rosy cheeks on the morning
griddle cake.
The woman who intends to have a
good complexion must make a careful
study of the food question. II goes with
out saying that sugary substances must
largely be banished from the bill of
| fare. Candies are, of course, excluded.
Cakes f,)llow in their wake. As for
pies and all other compounds of flour
and grease, they are fatal to clear siGns.
Bread that is doughty or starchy should
rank almost as low as pastry in the
estimation of the seeker after good
looks.
Alcoholic drinks are banished al
most entirely, their effect even in small
quantities being mild form of con-

eventually coarsens the texture as well
as ruins the color of the skin. For
somewhat similar reasons all sorts of
narcotics and stimulants are to be
avoided, for whatever excites the
nerves or overheats the blood tends to-
ward the final destruction of the
smooth peachy texture which is the
chief of every woman's ambition to at
tain.
Whatever has the effect of produc-
ing healthy action of the digestive or
gans is good for the complexion. Acid
and laxative fruits especially, if taken
at breakfast, are good. Entire wheat
bread and toast rank high among the
bread beautifiers. Red and juicy
meats, green vegetables, milk and eggs
are all conducive to The attaining Of
a brilliant complexion.-G. II. DER

Coal Not n NIunItion of War.

In time of war a neutral may allow
a belligerent's warship to enter its
ports, and may give it water and pro-
visions enough to let it reach its own
nearest port, but it may not provide
munitions of war. Coal originally was
not 'munition of war;" because when
the principle of international law be-
came settled there were no steam yes
sells. Probably a man-of-war could OBJ
tain coal enough to enable her to reach
her nearest home port by the nearest
route; she certainly could not get any
more.

to explain the purpose of the noiseless

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t is better to defer trimming trees
until fall than to do SO now, as there
will be less liability of injury after the
sap begins to go down.
1t is not necessary to feed geese,
ducks or turkeys during the warm Seas
son if they have the privilege of a
range. Insects, grass and seeds are
plentiful, and the fowls can secure more
food than they can consume.
The wheat field after harvest may BE
given up to sheep and poultry. Sheep
will do excellent service in destroying
young weeds as fast as they shoot up
out of the ground, and as there will be
more or less grain left on the ground
the fowls will utilize it.
Bi-sulphide of carbon will DESTROY
MI animal life. If a small quantity is
poured into ant holes, or even into raj
holes, it will prove the best remedy
that can be used. 1t is excellent to use
on plants when they are young in or
der to destroy insects, provided the
plants are covered for a short time
There is nothing better for driving rats
away if its use is persisted in.
Preventing the spread of fungus dis
eases could be accomplished better by
destroying the branches and vines that
are cut away from the trees and bushes
than by the use of other methods. 1t is
not sufficient to remove the portions Of
trees affected with black rot. They
should be consigned to the flames, as nc
remedy is as sure in the destruction OF
the spores as fire.
