BObby,s Sling.

Bobby was lying on the bank, think
ing what to do next. He had used his
sling against several cats and sent
them in frantic haste beyond his reach,
had brought down robin with o we'll
directed shot, and had sent Tommy
into the house with a red spot on his
face and o protesting howl. Besides
that, he had driven bluebird from
its nest, broken a window, and ruffled
the unusually even temper OF his big
chum Towser. Now he was wonder
ing what he should do next, for i: still
lacked an hour of school-time.
He was bad boy, you say? Well,
perhaps circumstantial evidence indi-
Gated that, but his mother was in
position to Judge, aud she did not
think so. Was he not prompt in doing
his chores, and cheerful and willing
in accepting extra work, and did he
not insist on helping her wash dishes
and swee1 and carry water? Some
times she spoke severely of his 'cruel
sport, but in her heart she substituted
another word for it, thoughtlessness.
The sunlight lay warm upon the
bank, and presently he saw two bugs
climbing tiny slope that was bare of
grass. He reached ont fer pebble
to throw, but none was within reach,
and the game was not worth the exer-
ton of rising. So he lay there and
watched.
He was not quite sure about the
bugs, but thought they were the kind
that papa told of carrying such great
weights. If SO, they must be regular
giants of strength, and this thought
brought more interest into his eye :.
One of them was tagging behind
the other and moving with slow,
halting motion, as though partly dis
abled. Perhaps he had been trying
to lift a mountain, and the mountain
had fallen on him and broken his leg.
Bobby chuckled at the idea, and
moved little so he could see better,
for now the foremost bug had turned
back t. his companion, with whom he
appeared to be in earnest consultation
In chan sing his position, Bobby's
hand came in contact with q pebble,
but he merely pushed it aside instead
of picking it up to throw. He wanted
to see what the bugs were going to do
And then very curious thing hap
pened.
The bit of slope had become too
steep for the disabled bug to climb,
and his companion. as though appre-
ciating the situation, seemed to be
studying some way out of the diff
Guilty. Presently he moved to posi-
ton in front of his friend and flattened
himself as closely as possible to the

The POllte Deers
A diRnifed deer, with sprangling horns,
Stepped into a hatter's and said:

Pray, show me some hats for my head

But with manner quite bland and sedate

kissing the Blarney Stone.

Everybody has heard of kissing the
Blarney stone in the famous castle of
Blarney, and good many people
whose tongues do notruu glibly on all
occasions have probably desired to
touch their own lips to its smooth sur
face in order that they, too, might i'm
bibe some of that loquaciousness which
is characteristic of the Irish race. But
if they only knew of the difficulty they
would encounter in getting to this
kissing stone to give it the desired
smack a good many of the anxious
ones might change their minds and
prefer to be stiff-tongued, after all.
This particular stone is near the top
of one of the great towers of the
CASTLE and to reach it you would have
to climb 125 feet inside cavernous
old don;on. Then when you have
come to the nearest opening in the
massive wall, you would have to be
hung out of the window, head down
ward, and held over parapet by the
heels while going through the great
osculatsry performance. Considering
the dizziness entailed by this acrobatic
feat good many people would prefer
not to be "blarney."

Child as Nurse.

When Miss Nightingale was child,
che had many dolls; and her great
hobby was to affect to believe that
they each in turn caught serious ILL
ness, and needed the most careful
nursing. There was one rag baby
that had fever 80 badly that her life
was despaired of, and little Florence
would only go to her own bed one
night on the positive assurance OF her
nurse and her mother that they would
watch beside the sick doll. And
watch they had to with vengeance.
For if any of the nurses tried to go
away, thinking Florence was asleep,
the little lady was alert in moment,
and would not lie down until the duty
was resumed. Early in the morning
Florence rose to take her share in the
nursing, and then the others were al
lowed to retire. She was soon able
to say that the rag baby was much
better. -Cassell's Little Folks.

Smart Autumn Jackets.

This seasons jackets are fascinating
with their wonderful curves and tailor

1t is the one thing that must have the
stamp of the tailor, and an exceeding

generally used on the new fall coats
and, although it is finish, it must be
kept thoroughly brushed, or the dust
which settles on its threads will give

Isolated People Of tho Earth.


The people who live in the northern
portion of the peninsula of Kamchatka
are probably the most isolated in the
world. The people have practically
no communication with others than
their own tribe, being seldom visited
by travellers.
The inhabitants OF the new Siberian
islands are also detached people, for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once year even if the
weather is favorable.
The pygmies of the great central
African forests, if they can be called a
tribe, have also been people apart.
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary, and only two
expeditions commanded by white men
have ever penetrated into their abode.

paper, the Scotsman, this morning
asserts that battle has taken place
between Gen. Sir George Stewart
White, commanding the forces in
Natal, and the Beers, who entered
Natal by way Of Van Reenans pass.
Gen. White, the Scotsman says, is
very sanguine of the success of the

The foregoing report is considered
to be correct, as late last night the
war Office had news Of British ad-
vance from Ladysmitb, and was
hourly expecting further intelligence.
