A Natural History Question.

While Washington has a public school
system second to no city in the land, it has
as well many excellent private schools,
and at one of these in the West End, not
very long ago, the teacher was giving a
class of small boys few rudimentary and
Introductory instructions in natural history.
Most of the class were pretty well up for
children of their age, but one boy was a
new scholar and he was not altogether re-
liable in his knowledge.
Now, to what class" said the teacher,
do animals belong which eat meat exclu-
sively?"
'Carnivorous." responded the boy at the
top of the row.
And to what class do those belong which
eat grass or vegetable growth of any
knd?"
'Herbivorous," came the next answer,
promptly.
And to what class do they belong which
eat both meat and grass?"
"Omnivorous, said the next scholar.
Then with an encouraging smile she turn
ed to the new boy.
Now Willie,' she asked, ''to what class
do little boys belong?'
''Pienivorous. I guess" he responded with
confidence, and the new order of animal at
once became the property Of the school.

THE YOUNG IDEA.
To This Boy There Was One Thing
That Seemed ImpOssfble.

That Seemed Impossible.
IF there Is one thing more than another
which is to our credit as compared with
Srain," remarked a Capitol Hill man. ct is
the almost universal knowledge of affairs
which characterizes our people, as against
an almost universal ignorance characteriz-
ing the Spaniards. Even our small children
are SO well up on military and naval terms
that they astonish us at times, and what
the boys don't know about the men who
have thus far made a reputation for them
selves isn't worth knowing. AS for Dewey,
and poor Bagley and Hobson, there isn't a
boy of any age who doesn't know more
ABOUT them than he does of julius Caesar
and George Washington combined. My
daughter, who teaches in mission Sunday
school, tells me Of a Dewey experience she
had with youngSter making his first ap-
rearance. She had put him through a half
hour or more of instruction in the rudi-
mentary principles, for he was entirely
lacking in information on that point, end
to test him was reviewing her work with
him.
Now she said, tell me again who
made the world and all that is in it"
God did,. replied the boy, with COM
nendable promptitude.
God can do everything, can't hep she
asked again.
THE boy hesitated a moment"
I don't believe He could lick Dewey
he answered, at last, and his teacher sat
silent between her religion and her patriot
ism. 1t wasn't her time to say anything,
II she didn't want to lose that boy forever,
and she had wit enough 20 let IL 20 at
that
