The ways of trapping are as various
as the ingenuity of savage or civilized
man can devise. | like best the traps
that one can make. They seem to give
the animal "a fairer show; they develop
our own constructive faculties, and the
nearer we can get to the savage way
the more fun it always is. Steel traps
have a place that wooden traps can new
81 fill, but give me something n a /
IAN make with my own hands, with the
simplest tools, out of whatever materl-
lis the spot affords where the animal
lives.
OF all the animals in this country
there is none that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit-more properly
hare-of which there are several spe-
cies. Its wonderful powers of increase
enable it to hold it's own, as far too
many of our best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rabbits
are very easily trapped.
Every one knows its little trail, as
broad as one's hand, through the bushes
or broom sedge, or its footprints as it
hops over the clear snow. Here, where
the path goes under a fence rail, 1T has
stopped to gnaw. The rabbit follows
,his path in season and out, though IL
the far north, where the snow keeps
oiling and piling up, its little road may
change with each successive snowfall

IF snares, setting them right III the mid
ale of the paths. -Harper's Round Ia

His a Role.

The fond mother of three children
was obliged to demonstrate with her
oldest boy because in the children's
games he would always take the lead
and assign subordinate positions to his
little brother and sister. The boy prom
ised not to be selfish in the future. A
few days later the mother, happening
to go into the nursery, saw the two
younger children engaged i'll amateur
theatricals. The elder boy stood aside
with arms folded, moodily watching
them. I'VE are playing Adam and
Eve" said the youngsters. The mother
was much gratitied, as she supposed
that in this instance at least the boy
had allowed his brother the principal
role. She turned to the silent figure in
the corner, about to praise him. "Wht
are your" she asked. God" was the
answer. New York Commercial.

Petit Larceny Not woman's Sin Alone.

The story comes from England of a
novel being found in the strong room OF
a firm of publishers written entirely
upon the note paper of a London club.
The thing is significant for two reasons
First, because the novelist was a man,
and, second, because petty larceny has
long been supposed to be the ~prerogative
of woman. 1t is a fact that, in this
country at least, it is women who pilfer
the detachable privileges to be found in
railway stations, the waiting room of
department. stores, hotels and like
places. 1t has been found necessary to
chain Bibles themselves. 1t isn't SO very
long g that when n woman arose to
read her bulky extenlporaneous address
at the meeting of a certain woman's
club, her listeners, upon the back of
each sheet of manuscript, could descry
the sign and seal of a well known hotel.
This wasn't SO bad, of course, as a
whole book, but it was bad enough

Lady Pendulum.

From the New York Tribune comes
q story, which Mr.. Moody recently
told, illustrative of the fact that to the
power of single hearted perseverance
there is no known limit:
When | was in London some years
ago, | saw a lady III my audience who
could not walk and had a chair on
wheels in which she was brought into
CHI. Eh. The look of disgust on her face
and the attention she attracted i'll being
brought into the meetings made me
take notice of her. | spoke to her
day, and she said:
"Mr. Moody, when this excitement is
over and you have gone back to Amer
lea the people will go back to their old
ways. They won't keep on. They can't
do it,"
/ talked with her for some time, but
she stuck to her point. a day or two
afterward l told the fable of the clock:
The pendulum counted how many times
it would have to tick before it was
worn out, and it vas so appalled, at the
number that it wanted to give up right
there, saying, 81 never can do it."
"But, =" said one of the other parts OF
the clock, cit is only a tick at a time.
"That is just what some of you are
doing" l said, Saying that after Mr..
Moody goes back to America the excite
ment will die out. We will not keep il
up. We can't get grace enough to dc
So Get grace enough to live a tick al
a time, a step at a time, said |.
That woman went home and bought
a clock with a pendulum and put il
where she could see it. She preached Sc
much about "a tick at a time" that hel
friends called her Lady Pendulum.
The day before returning to Americi
I received a package from her. In i
was a clock, and the letter with it said
"Please put this clock in your room
and when you look at it remember tina
Lady Pendulum is still living a tick a
a time"

A correspondent who signs himself

to the London Telegraph: Your &C.
count of the tailor who has invented
gummed seams for sewed one reminds
me Of the experience of a gallant French
officer who was a friend of mine, then
a young man, in the Crimea-General
Pelissier. He was rather careless about
his dress except when in uniform, and
one day he surprised all his friends by
appearing i'll "a magnificent shepherd
tartan suit. They were all envious of
his splendid turnout. At night he join
ed in the co~nviviality which was tax
ing place in one of the huts, warmed
by a cheerful, blazing fire. The place
| got intolerably warm, and when Pc.
lissier rose to go the company were
amazed to find the shepherd tartan
'complet' fall to pieces in an extraordi-
nary manner The sleeves of the coat
dropped to the floor, then the back, and
the trousers also fell off i'll detachments.
An examination showed that the seams,
instead of being sewed, were glued to-
gether, and the heat of the hut had
completely melted the composition. Pc
~lissier had bought them from a Greek
peddler and paid a high price for them.
If that enterprising merchant had fall
en- into the generals hands within the
next few days, l am afraid he would
have had short shrift. Unless the new

Many stories are told relative to the
eligibility of the penmanship of Rufus
Choate, the famous lawyer. 1t is said
that he once openly congratulated him
self on the fact that ''if he failed to get
a living at the bar he could still go to
China and support himself by his pen
that is, by decorating tea chests"
He once asked that a case might be
postponed owing to his engagement in
another court. The judge replied that
the case was one in which he might
write out his argument.
With a mock solemnity of counte-
nance which he knew so we'll how to
assume at a moment's'notice he said:
81 write well, your honor, but slow
ly."
This was too much for the judge and
the assembled bar, and the courtroom
echoed with prompt and unrestrained
hilarity. There was not a lawyer pres
ent who had not more than once seen a
specimen of what one of MI. Choate's
friends called his wildcat tracks, and
the joke needed no explanation. -

The Charm of the Poppies.

Very ancient is the history of the pop
by. 1t was wreathed with the lotus in
Egypt and twined with thyme and pars-
ley in Greece. 1t was also IL OF the
flowers dedicated to Venus, and the
witches who wrought their spells and
muttered their lamentations on the
mountain tops cast into their brew the
horned leaves.
1t was early recognized that the pop
by in its simplest form is Il of the
most decorative of flowers. Its simplest
form is, of course, the wild flower of
four petals. 1t is treated ~decoratively i'll
a number of ways, either as a fiat de-
sign of the lifted cup or as a conven-
tional representation of the four petals
encircling the receptacle or as the stem
unfolding the domelike and sometimes
strongly ridged seed pod; but, after all,
the most marvellous artistic suggestions
are found in the sharply outlined leaves
which rise TO slender Gothic points.
These serve as models of leaf design and
we're carved boldly and delicately in the
stone of ancient cathedrals.
There is always something artificial
In the appearance of the cultivated pop
pies. They lack the stability or reality
and ever suggest the gypsy masquerade
ing as the princess.
Poppies, with very few exceptions,
ire not in the least difficult to grow.
Seed sown in the fall or spring will
produce plants that flower all summer
They do not demand an enriched sol.
and profuse watering, but grow in al
independent, careless fashion that is {

tion Of some plants. Nancy M. Waddl'

THE GOOD LANDLORD.

I sing to you about a nan whose memory long
should last.
His name was Hiram Morethangood, he lived
in Nottoofast.
And though to save his native land he never
drew a sword
He was what all his tenants called a mighty
fine landlord.
Whenever a tenant CHANGED to break a pane or
two of glass
He never used to storm and rave or murmur
out "Alas!'
But he would go and buy some more in sun
shine or in rain,
Or If 1t was at zero, and have them set again.
No matter if in room or hall the paper should
get torn
He would not, as some landlords do, complain
from night till morn,
And II the paint got SCARED and soiled, the
first thing he would do
Was send and have the painter come and paint
the house anew.
No matter if a faucet froze or if got clogged a
drain,
It made no difference to him. He never would
complain.
| And If a tenant short of wood should burn the
cellar stairs,
He always thought 1t sweet delight to make
such small repairs.
And IL a tenant should neglect to close a swing
ing blind
n it should be thrown from its place by the
fierce winter wind,
And tumbling to the walk below some passer
by should kill.
He would not say one unkind word. but go ant
pay the bill
And ere the lhornlng light broke forth HI
from his bed would rise,
And not with thunder in his tone nor anger IL
his eyes,
But with a rosy shade OF joy upon his mani!
face,
Would to the tenant go and give a fun deed O
the place.
