WHAT FRANKLIN DID.
A Boy Whose Eyes Were Always Open
and Who Was Always Busy.

and Who Was Always Busy.
Benjamin Franklin was poor boy,
one of large family, and his father
could not give him any of the advan-
tages which our farm boys now enjoy.
But he felt that he must do something
for himself, and he realized that ne must
first learn all he could. So every odd
penny he could earn he spent for books
and sat up nights to study them. Some
one has said, "He never lost sight OF
common sense" which, perhaps, is the
main reason that he succeeded so well
in the end. His eyes were always open,
and he was always ready to turn his OBJ
servations to good account.
Franklin inspired and established the
Junto, the most pleasant and most USE
full American club of which we have
knowledge.
He founded the Philadelphia library
parent of a thousand libraries, which
marked the beginning of an intellectual
movement of endless good to the whole
country
He first turned to great account the
engine of advertising, indispensable in
all modern business.
He published Poor Richard" rec
ord of homely wisdom of such shape
that hundreds of thousands of readers
were made better and stronger by it.
He created the postoffice system of
America and was the first champion Of
reformed spelling.
He invented the Franklin stove, which
economical fuel, and he suggested valu-
able improvements in ventilation and
the building of chimneys.
He robbed thunder of its terrors and
lightning Of some of its power to de-
stroy.
He founded the American Philosoph-
ical society, the first organization in
America of the friends of science.
He suggested the use of mineral ma
nures, introduced the basket willow,
promoted the early culture of silk and
pointed out the advantages of white
clothing in summer.
He measured the temperature Of the
Gulf stream and discovered that north.
east storms may begin in the southwest.
He pointed out the advantage of
building ships in water tight compart.
ments, taking the hint from the Chinese,
and first urged the use of oil as means
of quieting dangerous seas.
These great achievements were &C.
complished largely as recreation from
his life work as economist and states.

OHILD'S HAIR GRAY.
Too Much Lesrning-The Infant Can Speak
Two Languages.

Too much learning has turned gray the
hair of a Chicago youngster who is but
2H years old. The boy is Meyer Lipman.
His parents are Russian Jews and live in
the suburbs of haywood, Ills. When
Meyer had been in this world but eight
months, he was able to talk-not mere
baby talk of Il few words, but enough to
carry on conversation.
He can now speak two languages, Eng
lish and German His parents were so
proud of his mental attachments at first
that they devoted much time to teaching
him But soon his health began to fail,
and his hair, which had been jet black,
became gray. A physician was consulted
and the parents were told that the child
must be kept from everything that would
require mental effort. He must be given
only simple toys to play with and talked
to only of the commonplace subjects of
eating, sleeping and playing.
For year and half this advice has
been followed and Meyer is now fairly
rugged and his hair is not so gray. st.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
They Likewise Play Cricket, but Not Ac
cording to Rule.

They Likewise Play Cricket, but Not Ac-
cording to Rule.
Travellers in South America have not
ed the fact that where monkeys congre-
gate in large numbers they also indulge
in games of a certain kind. Two Of
these games seem to resemble cricket
and football.
The cricket is of a primitive order.
About dozen monkeys stand in a cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea of a circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities of the circle
and stop about Is yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end Of the circle has cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does not,
as you might suppose, WELD full cane
bat. His business is to dodge the cocoa
nut which the bowler aims at his head.
The delivery of the ball is tremendously
fast, full pitched and fraught with dire
results if it touches the spot" When
it does happen to touch the spot-that
is, any part of the monkeys body-that
monkey is very much out and doesn't
even stop to dispute the question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when majority Of mon
keys lay nursing their wounds under the
friendly shade of a neighboring palm.
The football is Of a more advanced
type. 1t is also played with a cocoanut.
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly
the "socker" game and is played with
the feet. OF corrse there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still, the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game of "foot-
er," and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and max
ing off, but the game then develops
into war in which life is sometimes the
prize.
No mention is made of referee; but
If there is one about, like a wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up a
tree.

The Busy Bee.

DIR. Watts was right. The bee is real
ly very busy insect in spite of recent
attacks made upon its character. A
Flooding statistician has found out that
each pound of honey secreted involves
the necessity of the bee visiting 21S, $50
flowers. This in itself is no mean la
Dor. That the bee is not gluttonous and
does not consume more than it earns is
proved by the fact that 1874, 900, 900
pounds of honey are annually sold
throughout the world for the enjoy
ment Of the human race. The United
States stands at the head of the list of
honey producers with $1,000, 900
pounds, and Germany comes next with
40, 600. 600 pounds. England's produc-
tion is so small that the statistician has
not taken any notice of it, but somehow
or other the best from all other coun-
tries finds its way to the London market.
1t was long supposed that bees COL
lected the wax direct from the flowers.
Now it is known that if they are kept
from plants and fed on sugar only they
will form wax.
