Miss Noah.

The scholar should know his text

tion Of being outmatched in his own
speciality by layman. as in this story
from an exchange:
A child was brought to Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told that
the name was to be Noah he naturally
referred to the infant as 'he'' in the
course of the service. Soon he felt his
surplice pulled by one of the women,
who whispered to him that "it was a
lass"
"But Noah is not a girls name, -
said the parson.
eyes, it u.s." spoke up the child's IA
ther.
An adjournment was made to the
yestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had child to be
named he opened the Bible and chose
the first name Of the proper sex that
met his eye. The clergyman insisted
that in the present case a mistake had
been made, whereupon the father opened
the Bible at Numbers XVI, 33, and
read, 1.-The names Of the daughters of
Zelophehad were Noah," etc.
There was no more to be said.

Insect CCnquerors.

A recent bulletin Of the department OF
agriculture points out the fact that
within the past Is years there has been
a complete change in the chief insect
foe of the cotton plant. Previous to
1881 the cotton worm was not only the
principal, but almost the sole, insect
depredator dreaded OH the cotton planta
lions. Since that year the cotton worm
has gradually disappeared, and new
enemy to the cotton plant, the boil
worm, has taken its place. Such revo-
buttons in the insect world not infre-
quently occur, and sometimes they take
on the appearance of actual conquests
effected by one species over Others In
the Sandwich Islands, for instance, a
species Of ant introduced from abroad
is driving out all other insects, the only
native species that seems able to with
stand it being the earwig.

The Tent Business In Winter.

Winter is dull season in the tent
business in this latitude and devoted
chiefly to making up stock for summer.
Some tents are exported, though not a
great number They are sent to Mexico.
Central America and the West Indies.
Such tents are sold the year around.
They are used as quarters for laborers
on railroads, canals and other works.
The few tents sold in winter for use
IN this region are sold mostly to gyp-
sizes, who buy in winter for summer use.
They buy usually secondhand tents,
and, buying in winter, they get good
tents cheap. But little is done in rent
ing tents in winter, though occasionally
q large tent is rented for cornerstone
laying or some public ceremony, and in
these modern days such tents are some
time steam heated, the pipes being sup
piled with steam from portable boilers.

Spartan Severity Ruled Philip Gilbert
Hamerton In His Childhood.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhood, the victim of severe
and cr1el discipline. His father was a
man - ungovernable temper and irregu-
lar life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles and whose only idea of
educating a boy was to make man of
him"
His method of teaching the lad to
ride was to accompany him on vicious
black horse, and when little Philip erred
In any of the observances of good riders
to punish him with his heavy hunting
whip. The whip had a steel hammer at
the end of a long handle, and if at any
time the owner fancied that the child
was turning out his toes he would not
say anything, but with cruel deXterity
deal him blow on the foot, sharp
enough to make him writhe with pain
Yet this Spartan severity had its val
liable side. The elder Hamerton under,
stood the Importance of concentration,
and if he saw the boy occupied with
several books would say:
Take one of those books and read it
steadily. Don't potter and play with
half a dozen.
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow of lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes
punished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumbbells 15 minutes ev-
cry morning. This exercise was taken
in the garden, but before beginning he
always looked at the clock in the sitting
room. One day the father met him and
asked:
Have you done your Is minutes?'

'That is not true" said his aunt
from the next room. HE has only prac-

clock"
The hand stood at 10 minutes past IL,
and though the boy protested that he
had begun at ten minutes before the
hour the additional lie" put his father
in fury, and he was ordered to prac-
tice continually for two hours. And,
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 1870 minutes
were over, not one of them was remit

| gagged for our honeymoon little house
lie miles or so from any other habita-

which here flows through a canyon of
pure white marble. Close beside our
house was a little hut, where holy
man lived in charge of an adjoining
shrine, earning money for himself and
for the shrine ~ polishing little pieces
of marble as mementos for visitors. 1t
was wonderful place altogether, and
while my wife went in to change her
dress the servants laid breakfast ON the
veranda overlooking the river. At the
first clatter of the plates there began to
come down from the big tree that over
Swallowed the house, and up the trees
that grew in the ravine behind it, from
the house roof itself-from everywhere
"a multitude of solemn monkeys. They
came up singly and in couples and in
families and took their places without
noise or fuss on the veranda and sat
there, like an audience waiting for an
entertainment to commence. And when
everything was ready, the breakfast all
laid, the monkeys all seated, l went in
to call my wife.
Breakfast is ready, and they are all
waiting" I said.
'Who are waiting?" she asked in dis
may. 81 thought we were going to be
alone, and was just coming out in my
dressing gown"
''Never mind," said 1.-THE people
about here are not very fashionably
dressed themselves. They wear pretty
much the same things all the year

And so my wife came out. Imagine,
then, her astOnishment. In the middle
of the veranda stood her breakfast table,
and all the rest Of the space, as well as
the ratings and the steps, was covered
with monkeys, as grave as possible and
as mOtiOnless and silent as if they were
stuffed. Only their eyes kept blinking
and their little round ears kept twitch-
ing. Laughing heartily-at which the
monkeys only looked all the graver-
my wife sat down.
"Will they eat anything?" asked she.
"Try them," said.
So she picked up biscuit and threw
1t among the company. And the result
About 800 monkeys jumped up in the
air like one, and just for one instant
there was riot that defies description
The next instant every monkey was sit
ting i'll its place as solemn and serious
as if it had never moved. Only their
eyes winked and their ears twitched.
My wife threw them another biscuit,
and again the riot, and then another
and another and another. But at length
we had given all that we had to give
and got up to go. The monkeys at once
rose, every monkey on the veranda, and
advancing gravely to the steps walked
down them in a solemn .ss ocession, old
and young together, ana dispersed fo1
