A cHILD's USE OF MONEY.
Various Answers Received From . Large
Number III Public school Pupils.

various Received From . Largo
Number of Public School Pupils.
DR.. George E. Dawson of the Bible
Normal college has classified answers
received from 1907 pupils Of the public
schools OF this city, given in response to
:ho question, eff you had IS, all your
! own, what would you do with it,"
Of those who passed in answers 600
were boys md G3a were girls. their ages
ranging from s to 10. Tho answers are
grouped under nine general heads: A
per cent would deposit tho money III u
bank, 1873 per cent would buy cloth.
ing, 80 per cent would buy something
to eat, 1873 per cent would buy toys
and other means of amusement. al por
cent would buy jewelry and flnery,
nine.tenths Of ! per cent would buy fire.
arms, IL per cent would spend for
travel, IA per cent would spend for 9th
ers and 6 per cent would buy books, etc.
1t Is interesting to note the large per
cent who express q disposition to save.
DR.. Dawson attributes this largely to
the suggestability of tho children. The
results in this respect resemble those
obtained i'll other fields of experiment.
While the children do not realize tho
full Significance Of saving, tho idea has
been %ongrafted upon their minds and il
bound to liavo its influence. The fact
that this idea Of saving has been thus
forcibly impressed Oh the minds of 60
many is very significant aud gives US o
hint of the immense influence Of public
instruction.
In noting the per cent Of those who
would buy clothing it should be remem-
bered that many Of the children were
in urgent need of something better to
wear. Those who voted for something
to eat were mostly under z years Of age.
In tho class who would prefer amuse-
ments tho girls usually expressed q
wish for dolls aud doll carriages while
the boys mostly desired pigeons, rabbits
or other pets. In regard to travel. the
figures show that as children grow old
or the desire to go out into the world
increases rapidly, reaching its height at
about the beginning Of adolescence. The
desire shown by the boys for firearms is
an expression of the hunting instinct
that awakens when they are 10 or IL.
At that age boys like to get hold Of
books Of hunting and adventure. The
tendency to buy books increases steadily
as the children grow older. This class
numbers about twice as many girls as
boys. The class which manifests q feeling
OF altruism also numbers more girls
than boys. showing that the greater
generosity Of women is strikingly man.
tfest even ut an early age.-Springheld

A DEVOTED PIGEON.

h Broke Through u Wall to SuccOr Her
Nesting.
In the animal kingdom there are
many strong examples Of mother love,
and the birds are particularly noted for
displaying it. A remarkable instance of
this maternal instinct was recently no.
ticed near Elwood, Ind. A mother pi-
geon whose young one had mysteriously
disappeared searched INCREASINGLY for
weeks for the little ono. and one day
last December she was seen flying vio-
lently against the side of q frame build.
ing in the city.
Each time she came in contact with
the house she Clipped off q small bit of
wood with her bill. For nearly two
days the old bird kept this practice up.
often during that time falling exhausted
from the repeated shocks and fatigue.
In the afternoon of the second day she
had pecked q hole in the wall, the wood
Of which was old and soft from the
weather. This hole vas large enough to
admit q MANI head, and through this
the mother bird went and came.
Every time she entered sho carried
grain or seeds or grass. Some curious
people investigated the hole whilo she
was absent, and there they found the
little lost pigeon, just below tho hole,
wedged in between the weatherboards.
For two days more the bird continued
to bring the little n food, and would
stay futtering near the hole, chirruping
and trying to cheer the littlo prisoner
up. Many times 1t entered and seemed
to be trying to extricate its young one,
but it could not succeed in doing so, try
as 1t would. The prisoner had flown in
to the building, which was empty. and
managed to get between the weather
boarding. near the top Of tho inside.
Falling a considerable distance, it lodg-
ed in the narrow space, which did not
permit 1t to use its wings in rising
again. Its plants had reached the
mother, and she, not being able to reach
it from the inside, had cut through
from the out. An admiring man thrust
his hand through the hole and brought
out the f1uttering young thing, to the
great delight of the anxious mamma
bird. Chicago Chronicle.

BREEDS SNAKES TO SELL.
Tho Peculiar Discovery Made by an Eng.
lishman In India.

lishman In India.
The bounty given by the Indian gov.
eminent for snakes heads in order to
exterminate these reptiles has led to q
few Of tho dishonest natives breeding
them for q living.
An Englishman recently travelling
through central India made a peculiar
discovery.
In the heart Of q dense jungle he
came across a rude hut. aud close Mt
hand was a large pit covered with q
tight fitting wooden cover. He found
the occupants of tho hut, two d%isreputa-
BILE looking natives, and asked them the
meaning Of the peculiar pit.
They informed him that they wero
breeders Of snakes and put them in tho
pit, tho bottom Of which was covered
over with dried grass and leaves.
They kept tho snakes there some six
small animals aud birds.
They then filled u largo earthen pot
with poisonous herbs. lighted it, low
cred it into tho pit and ecured the
tight fitting wooden cover, and thus
smothercd the reptiles.
The cover was allowed to remain on
for a few days. It was thon removed and
the snakes were taken out by means Of a
long pole with a,Spiko at the end Of it.
Their heads were then cut off, and
one of the rogues set out for the nearest
government agency to obtain the boun.
ty, while tho other ono caught fresh
snakes for the pit.
The snakes very often devoured one
another, but the mothers generally man
aged to bring up their young, though 1t
was O marvel they bred at all in such
q place, it being, II would think, con-
trary to their nature. London Core
