A Simple sunshine RECORDER.

Procure an empty quarter plate card
board box, and in the top of the lid cut
a hole about half an inch in diameter
close to the edge of one side Then paste
q bit of stiff brown paper over this hole,
and when dry prick hole in the brown
paper with pin.
To use the sunshine recorder place n
piece of paper in the bottom of the box,

this place glass plate to keep the pa
per fat. Now put the lid on containing
the pin hole, and stand the whole thing
fat on window ledge, the pin hole side
facing the south and make a pencil mark
all round the box, so that you always
place it in the same position, and change
the paper once a day. when a very clear
record of every peep of sunshine will be
found. View York Mail and Express.

"A few nights ago" writes Trans
vaal correspondent, 81, in company with
chum, took stroll round the Native
Location which lies about 200 yards
from the railway station. We made for
4 row of huts, four in number, in the
front of which wood fires were burning.
ION reaching them we noticed the
natives We're in the act of catching To-
Gusts, flying ants and other queer look
ing insects which were swarming around
in hundreds, being ATTRACTED by the
bright light of the fire.
"After their wings had been singed
through coming in contact with the
FIRE, the7 insects were scooped into q
large hole dug in the sand. We waited
several minutes wondering what, the
motive for all this could be, when the
uiggers formed circle round this hole
and commenced taking out handfuls Of
these hideous looking things and eating
them.
"This, as we ascertained, formed the
niggers' evening meal, they informing
us it was 'mooshla scoff' (nice food). -

Holmes as q Face Reader.

Tho Youths Companion tells this
story of Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of
whose hobbies was to trace genealogies
and family resemblances. At the open
ing of the term of the medical class one
year, while he was one of its lecturers,
he met for the first time a young men,
Der who introduced himself as, let us
say, Perry of Cambridge.
The little doctor looked at him keenly
and said: "You are also one of the W. 3
of Cape Cod. know it by your upper
lip"
The young man flushed and made
haste to answer that he never had heard
of the VS. and did not know any per-
son in Cape Cod.
But the doctor smiled obstinately and
at intervals through the winter would
inquire whether Mr.. Perry had looked
up his ancestor, receiving each time the
assurance that inquiry had been made.
but no trace of this strain of blood could
be found in the family.
One day Perry came to him. lyon
were right, DR.. Holmes. We have found
in an old Bible record that my great
great grandmother was w. and came
from Cape Cod.
The doctor beamed with delight. mo
upper lip ever deceived me yet" he
laughingly exclaimed, and carried his
little triumph to all of his friends with
as much pleasure as if it had been a
long lost treasure.

Among the masks of God. of his
brother Atikundam, as the Bella Coda In
dians on the eastern coast of tho north
Pacific say, of the four workmen, and of
the ten deputy gods now on exhibition at
the Museum of Natural History in New
York, one may spend "a most interesting
afternoon. These masks and wooden
figures, in the shape of man, arc in tho
basement of the north wing of tho mu-
scum, and are tho most recent additions
10 the collection OF chronological specimens
tho Morris X. Jcsup exploring parties are
making of the aborigines of the western
coast of North America. The collection it
self, says the New York Press, will have
the whole row west wing of the building
as soon as this extension Is completed, and
DIR. Franz Boas, tho curator, has arranged
and catalogued the specimens The
masks arc perhaps the most extraordi-
nary feature of tho display, which is the
weirdost of al the museum has to show.
Besides these faces there are totem poles,
garbs of ceremony, costumes simple and
beautiful in design, admirable lay figures
and hundreds Of utensils OF various and
elaborate ornamcntation.
a totem is crest or coat of arms of n
tribe. There arc enough totems in these
collections 10 illustrate an encyclopedia of
hsraldry- They arc all significant, more
over, as the learned doctor explains with
clearneSs in his picturesque report on the
plastic arts of the north Pacific Indians
which was published in last years Muse
um Bulletin DIR. Boas says that this art,
like the art OF all ether savage tribes, is
aninlal-that IS, begins with drawings of
animals. These drawings become more
skotchy and conventional as the decorative
instinct develops.

That TeIItale Tag.

She was q poor, plain Little woman,
evidently just in from the country, and
she stood looking longingly at line of
gaudy purses which hung along in a
row by the notion counter.
After a minute she stepped into a
corner, took out her own shabby little
leather purse and counted over the
money carefully.
She evidently found out she could
afford it, as great extravagance, and
SO at last walked shyly mp to the coun-
ter, selected one with pearls set in
along the chain and big emerald fash
ing in the top, took up the box in
which it was given her and vanished in
the direction of the waiting room. Not
more than five seconds later she appear
ed again-her old purse tucked out of
sight and the new one hanging proudly
round her neck. It was almost pitiful
to see her-sbe took SO much pride in
the gaudy thing-and then, more pitt
ful, yet mora laughable, there came
into view behind her the price tag,
tapping gayly from its little pink string
and proclaimiDg to the world at large
that that particular purse had cost just
so centsi
Nobody who saw that saucy tag had
the courage to tell its wearer, and yet
that would have been kindest too. But
she vanished down the street with it
still in view. How do you suppose she
felt when she found it out?-Cleveland
