combat, were fast becoming discour-
aged and sullen under the heavy fire of

across the brickyard. 1t seemed such
an unusual sort of proceeding that he
stopped his work to watch them. Two
of the rats held the straw at opposite
ends. while the third supported the
center. They were making straight for
the river which flowed by one side of
the yard. When they arrived at the
bank they laid down the straw and
took long drink; then they proceeded
to take up the straw again in the same
manner as before and returned by the
same way they had come.
This so interested the workman that
he determined to watch If they would
come again. And sure enough. at about

CHAPTER III.

No two girls ever had q stranger edu
cation and a more unequal life than had
Leah and Hettie Ray. Sometimes they
found themselves in the midst Of com
fort and luxury. Then would come pow
erty, squslor, common lodging houses
common clothing, the want of even the
necessaries of life. During their mother
lifetime they had been more settled, they
had lived longer in one place, they had
been more uniformly comfortable, but
now they never had n home for more
than three months together.
Then came time of great trouble, OF
which they fortunately knew but little

friends could do, the sentence was car

An old patron took pity on his youthful
children. Sir John Falkner, a leading
Radical. came to the rescue. He sent the
/ children TO a boarding school kept by 4
poor relative of his own-a Miss Fairfax
who resided at Kew. He forbade any
mention of their fathers Imprisonment,
and the children were told that lie was
away from home-absent on special bust,
ness, and would not return for few
years. They believed it implicitly. They
had some kind of an idea that their Gath
er was great statesman. born to ser the
wrongs of the world right. If thar had
been told that he had gone 10 detl,ront
the Car of all the Russias, they would
have believed it just as implicitly.

Cow vs.. Camel,

There are some men in this world who
can answer any question that is put to
them. and sometimes when they do not
really know what they are talking about
they will give answers that are not at all
bad. One Of these persons was once Il
keeper of the London Zoo. He was pes
tered todeath by the questions which peo-
pie asked, but he always gave an answer.
On a recent occasion a oountryman
strolled in, and. after looking curiously at
the camel for 4 few moments, he turned
to the keeper and said:
Il say, mister, what's he have Il hump
for
What does he have a hump for?' re
peated the keeper.
Yes. What's the good of it," asked
the visitor.
"Why-er-it makes camel of him,
Of COURSE" replied the keeper after some
hesitation. People wouldn't travel miles
to see him if he didn't have that hump.
Fact is, without it he might as well be Il
cow"
The stranger departed very well salts

the population of the United States to
be o.ooD,ooo, and the count cost Uncle
Sam. who was comparatively poor then
cent for each person. 1t is estimated
that the twelfth census. to be made in
June, 1900, will show that our people
number 100000, and that the item of
clerk hire. in the census bureau alone
will exceed 100000 Clifford How
ard, writing of How the Next Census
will be Taken" in the Ladies' Home
Journal, says that although the work
of enumeration will he completed by the
first of July, it will probably be two or
even three months later before the last of
the schedules are received at the census
office, for not only must they all be first
examined by the supervisors, but in many
cases they will probably require revision
because Of some error or informality.
The actual counting of the people will
not be done until the schedules are turned
into the census office. The enumerators
simply gather the facts, and the office
force III Washington does the counting
and the compiling. which is done by cleo
tricity. In 100 days all the facts relating
to 10000, 900 people will be tabulated."
