DAUDET DETEsTEp ANIMALS.
Fled from Amy House Where He Saw
Lap Dog.

LAP DOBs
Daudet had lurking kindness for
sinners. He pitied them, for he could
not see how in the long run they could
succeed in anything, says London
Truth. But the self-righteous were
more offensive to him. | think he was
right in saying that men and women
who passed for never having sinned are
unpleasant companions, and, from the
day of judgment standard, perhaps the
worst sinners of all. The sensibility
shown in "Jack" and other works did
not extend to animals. Daudet, though
a Cigalier, was deaf to the chirp of the
grasshopper and cricket. Birds have
no place in his rural sketches. He could
not understand the touching beauty of
the 'last friend" at the poor mans fu-
neral.
Animals were simply brutes to Dau-
det. At best they were warnings TO iIu-
man beings not to live merely to eat,
sleep and leave posterity behind them.
They sometimes were vice incarnate.
Such were the fox, the serpent, the
scorpion. What a selfish, heartless
thing the ant was. 1t had head if you
will, but It was the sort Of head that
organizes labor in sooty factory towns.
The dog was the beastliest beast of
any. Daudet fed from every drawing
room where be saT lap dog.

BABY CHATTER.

One cold morning four-year-old Fan

in cold water, but she drew back, eX-
claiming: "That waters too cold,
mamma; please cook it some"
Little Edgar, aged three, was very
fond of lemon drops, and one day while
he was out on the porch a sudden and
violent hailstorm came up. "Oh! OH"
he exclaimed, with delight: TITS VAIN

A fve-year-old city miss was visiting
in the country for the first time, and
she happened to notice the cattle enjoy

Little Mamie had heard her Sunday
school teacher speak of backsliders, and

don't come every Sunday our backs will
slde.''
"You may spell smallpox Tommy"
said the teacher to one of the juvenile
class. Tommy made several attempts
but failed. "Well," said the teacher,
"what do you think boy ought to get
who fails on a simple word like small

answered Tommy.

The Trolley Cars Cses.

The trolley car has been utilized for
all sorts of local announcements, with
excellent results, especially in small
communities, doing in its way much
of the work that the old bell crier was
supposed to exist for, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. On rainy days a viii
lage car will often save the school chill
dren a useless tramp by carrying
placard with the inscription on, 'No
School To-Day" and in some places the
local weather bureau now notifies the
road of prospective meteorological
changes, and the cars, as they go out
of the car barn mount the appropriate
signal in the shape of flag flying be-
tween the trolley pole and the car. Peo-
pie can thus tell by glance at the pass
ing car whether to carry an umbrella
or not, and what sort of an overcoat
to put on.

a SENSIBLE HEIR.
He Was Anxious to Keep Faith I'm
Spite of Money.

A pretty story is told of a young
clerk in a dry goods store who has re-
Gently come into possession of large
fortune through the favor of an old
gentleman distantly related to him,
says the Youths Companion.
The young fellow listened with
amaZement to the news impaired to
him by his employer and the old gen
tIeman's executor one afternoon.
81 suppose / must not expect your
services as clerk any longer" said the
dry goods merchant, with smile. Il
shall be sorry to lose you"
"Oh, shall stay my month out, of
course, sir" said the boy promptly. Il
shouldn't want to break my word just
because I've had some money left me" ;"
The two older men exchanged
glances. The money referred to was
nearly 100000.
Well" said the lawyer, stroking his
mouth to conceal his expression, "
should like an hour of your time be-
tween ten and four tomorrow, my
young friend, as it will be necessary for
you to read and sign some papers"
"Yes, sir" said the clerk. 81 always
take my lunch at a quarter before IL
I'll take that hour for you instead to-
morrow. If eat good breakfast,
can get along all right till six o'clock"
The two men again exchanged
glances, but neither said a word to
spoil the boys unconsciousness that he
was taking his good fortune in an un-
usual way.
WELL" said the lawyer, when the
door had closed on the modest heir to
thousands, 'all can say is, if that boy
ever uses his money to anybody's disad-
vantage. miss my guess!" And the
year that has elapsed since then has
o'one to prove the truth of his words.

SCRAPS FROM HISTORY.

The earliest collection of Christmas
carols was published in 1924, Many are
little more than drinking songs used at
social or religious festivities, of which
singing and dancing then formed
prominent feature.
Gar, more properly tsar or tzar, the
title of the emperor of Russia, was ce-
rived from Caesar, title said to nave
been assumed by Ivan Basilowitz after
defeating the Tartars, about 1482. The
empress is termed czarina, and the
eldest son czarewitch.
In the reign of Edward III, there
were at Bristol, England, three broth
ers who were eminent clothiers and
wooden weaSers, and whose family
name was Blanket. They were the first
persons who manufactured that com
Portable material which has ever since
been called by their name, and which
was then used for peasants clothing.
The famous old tavern in Corn court,
in which the Tea Party was planned, is
the oldest in Boston, and was built by
Samuel Cole in 1884. During the revolu-
tion of f776 it was owned by John Dug
gan, who was the friend of Gov. Han
cock, under whom he held commits
sion and by whom he was presented
sword and sash.
~ In olden times the plum-porridge was
partaten of at the beginning of the
dinner, occupying the soup course; and
the mince. or shred, pies were very
popular. In shape they are often slight
lyoyal, as well as round; and our grand
mothers tell us this oval shape was to
resemble and remind US of Christ's
cradle. In England it is still very
popular and enjoyable custom to offer
a mince pie to every caller.

MILK, BEER AND SUGAR.
The Diet on Which q Russian Has
Lived for Twenty Years.

Lived for Twenty Years.
There is a Jew, a native of Litsk,
Russia, living in the east end of Lon
don who has tasted for 20 years, his
sole daily diet during that time con-
sisting of six pints of milk, three pints
of beer and half pound of Demerara
sugar. His name, says the New York
Times, is Morris Fox. He is an excel
lent Talmudical scholar, and, in spite
of his frugal meals, he is the most
wealthy, intelligent and wide-awake
person in his quarter. He is now about
40. At the age of II, it appears, he
caught some lingering fever which
shattered his digestive organs. He took
many kinds of treatment from many
physicians until his stomach became
Injured to all medicine. At the Kieff
hospital they vainly tried to cure him
by sponging and eieetrolysis; at Vienna
his physicians included the well-known
Drs. Albert and Northnagel. His treat
ment at. Carlsbad was a failure; then
he travelled to Konigsberg, when the
physicians decided that he must live
on sugar, milk and beer. He adopted
their prescription and soon regained
normal health. For 20 years no solid
food has passed his mouth.

Rabbit, Not "Rarebit."

Those who have accepted the incon-
sistant name of Welsh rabbit for toasted
cheese on the assumption that it was
corruption of Welsh 'rarebit," will have
to revise their view. According to
writer in MacMillan's Magazine, "Welsh
rabbit is q genuine slang term, belong
ing to large group which describe in
the same humorous way the special dish
or product of peculiar district. For
examples: An Essex lion is calf; a
Fieldane duck is baked sleeps head;
Glasgow magistrates, or Norfolk
capons, are red herring; Irish apricots
or Munster plums are potatoes; Grave
send sweetmeats are shrimps."

According to Nilsson, the zoologist.
the weight of the Greenland whale is
100 tons, or 224,000 pounds, or equal to

WOMEN AS TEACHERS.
The Proportion Largest in the United
states and Smallest I'm Germany.

{ There are in the United States, rough
ly speaking, $4,000 school teachers,
and of this number 1901 900 are men and
100000 are women. Ia other words,
there are nearly twice as many female
as male teachers, and the disparity is
increasing year by year. According
to the last official census of Prussia
there were 6s, 900 school teachers in the
kingdom, of whom 5000 were women
and SO, 9,OOO men. 1t is evident, therefore,
that the Prussian preference is for male
teachers. In all Germany there are,
including the government, church and
private schools, $4,000 teachers. and
the number of pupils is nearly 10000
900. There are 100000 teachers in
France, of whom $4,000 are men and
$4,000 are women. the number of each
being subject to about the same ratio
of increase. There are. it is supposed,
about 100000 teachers in Great Britain,

HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.

The English Are Opposed to the
Teaching of Servants.
An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country.
says j. n. Larnew, in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious of three
serious facts: ID That there is
strong class-feelingagains much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and servants-a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. (21 That the school
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools, fos-
tered by the church and ostepsibly
actuated by desire for religious in
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in eality by the two sentiments
indicated above. Looking, there
fore, to the increasingly democratic
that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness of
that appear among its citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popn-
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen its chances
Of holding, under the reign of democ-
racy, the high place to which it rose
under the aristocratic regime.
