perfect health was reflected on each of
their beaming faces. The children were
eXuberant, and their arms were filled
with roses and violets.
At Halsted street their laughter
ceased as they saw little girl of about
their own age being tenderly assisted
into the car. Her face was very pale,
for an accident which had happened 10
her some weeks before had made her u
cripple for life. AS she sat down she
crossed her lap with her crutches and
then enviously glanced at the little
girIs opposite 20 her. In another mo-
ment two childish heads were in earnest
conversation. Then followed the swift
but clumsy movements of their fingers.
A garland was woven and they walked
across to where the cripple was seated,
lifted her faded hat from her head, re-
placed it with the wreath, kissed the
little sufferer and then took their seats
again.
Did anyone in that car laugh? No,
but tears of joy ran down a woman's
face. She was the mother of the two
little girls.-Chicago Daily News.

THREE DOG STORIES.
They Illustrate the Jealousy Which
Is Sometimes Manifested by
H6dSehOId Pets.

Your story In a recent number of the
Spectator of the dog who buried the
kitten alive may perhaps be corrobor-
ated by two others within the expert
ence of the writer. In both jealousy APP
pears to have been the motive for the
interment of the rival. A mongrel ter
rier excessively devoted to his mistress
was very jealous of her love for kit
ten. Often when the latter had been
caressed by the lady the former would
go off and scratch hole in the garden,
and then, fetching the kitten, would
bury it therein. To prevent the kitten
forcing its way out the terrier would
post himself upon the grave, and so,
unhappily for his purpose, would guide
TO the speedy rescue of the latter by
its friends. Once he chose pail of SCOT
for the death tomb. At other times
the dog and the kitten were good
friends and playmates.
Another dog, this time a spaniel, re-
sentful of the importation of tortoise,
which her Iaaster had bought for his
children ana given the range of the
lawn, determined to put her rival to
death by the same method. Very short
ly after its coming, both the dog and
the tortoise could nowhere be found.
Presently the dog returned with her
paws covered with ea1th; not so the
tortoise. Suspicious OF the spaniel, her
master coaXed her to come and look for
it, when she guilty drew off to the
garden and stopped before a small
mound of earth, which, when removed
with a stick, revealed the tortoise. He
who hides can find
Perhaps [ may add a story of ,kye.
He, too, belonged to the owner of the
terrier, the culprit of the first story.
The skyes favorite place was, as it
should be, at his mistress feet. He was
generally quite well behaved, but would
have lost his character one day had he
been without excuse. The skye was
running in front of his mistress and her
husband, and suddenly surprised them
by flying at a poor girl and holding her
prisoner. When they came to her res
cue they found her to be a child to
whom had been given a pair of the
Skye's mistress shoes. To secure what
ne deemed to be thief of his mistress
property, and this the shoes that had
so tenderly rubbed him, was clearly his
duty, and he did it.-Spectator.

And the boy said: Yes" and hurried away;
But he met man with a musical top,
And his mothers words through that hole
did drop.
A lesson went IN, but-ah me! all me!
For boy with hole in his memory
When he rose to recite he was all in a

Every word of that lesson had fallen out.
And at last, at last,-oh, terrible lott

A MILLIoN-DoLLAR BEDROOM.
The Gorgeous Sleeping Apartment of
Ludwig H., the Mad King of Ba-

Varia.
Half way between Munich and Salz-
ourg is the third e-Herrenchiem-
see-built by Ludwig II. This great
structure is incomplete, fortunately
for already overtaXed Bavaria, for no
one could slrmise what IS cost would
have been. One room alone-the re-
nowned Northumberland not be dn-
plicated for less than million dollars.
The vaulted ceiling is one great allie
gorical painting, the rounded cornice
is covered with a score of richly franz
cd mural paintings, the walls are pam
els of hammered gold of intricate de-
signs, and even the floor is of q mar
vclous pattern. The only suggestion
of the purpose of this wonderful room
is the 100000 bed with it's canopy more
magnificent than any that covers n
regal throne. In the gorgeous dining
room he had erected a disappearing
table, which dropped through the
floor when a course was finished, ana
in its place came up another, set and
served. He desired this so that serv-
ants would be unnecessary in the
room and the most secret state mat
tiers could be discussed in safety. Many
people sought in vain to see the f"
nous room at Herrenchiemsee. Once
an actress pleased Ludwig so much by
her recitation that she thought it an
opportune moment to request permits
sion to see his most poetic bedcham-
Der" She was coolly dismissed fOI her
effrontery, and the servants were or
dered to fumigate the room in which
she had been received.-Prof. j. II.

THE AUTOMOBILE IN THE DESERT

did not scruple to make the best pos
sible running. In the vast, sandy, bar
rem solitudes nothing was heard but
the painting, rafting machine which
was the pioneer of a new era.
The vultures circled round the trav-
elers as they went, wondering what this
strange invasion could mean, perhaps
dimly feeling that this swift monster
had come to rob them of many a dead
camel or Arab sheik in the future. At
Aumale, large French military sta
ton, as miles southeast from Algiers,
the sound of the explorers horns pro-
duced scare among the native popu-
lation. The natives flocked out of
their huts and escorted the autocarists
to the authorities, who welcomed them
with every courtesy.
The return journey back to the coast
was more adventurous. At Bonira the
road was swept away by torrent, ris-
ing from the rain, and they were
nearly projected over precipice.
Once they came to a river, but drove
boldly into the flood. The bottom was
very rough and the car bumped from
side to side, but after a most perilous
passage, being nearly swept away more
than once, they reached the other side
in safety. Their proudest achievement,
however, was the crossing of a ridge
of the Atlas mountains, through vast
snowdrifts, at the height of $500 feet
above the sea level.

Couldn't Fool Her.

She was evidently new at house
keeping and marketing, but carried
herself with an air intended to impress
people with the opinion that she knew
all about it, and wasn't going to be i'm
posed upon. 1t was at the Bonsecours
market before fish stall.
Lobster, madam? Oh, yes!" said
the dealer, with Difference. Very nice
ones this morning. Here is a first-class
one, madam" he said, exhibiting one
in its sell of glistening emerald.
The alert customer tossed her head
and exclaimed:
oh, no! You can't fool me with any
of your green, unripe Holsters! l want

SELECTING A CAT.
Fancier Imparts Some Valuable
Hints to Boys and Girls in
Search of Feline Pets.

Most of the cats that children have
just wander into house, purr con-
tidingly about some member of the
family, are given a saucer of milk,
petted a bit, and, before anybody re-
allies it, the stray visitor has settled
down in the household.
That is the way cats are usually
adopted, and sometimes these chance
pussies make the best sort of com
panions. But now and then a boy or
girl is promised a cat and given an
opportunity to pick one out at regu-
lar cat store. Then, of course, the
greatest taste and care are exercised
in making the choice. Here is some
thing a cat fancier has to say about Sc
lecting pet.
ITO find a good-natured cat, Just the
sort of one for children to play with,
look for a well-developed bump on its
head, between the ears. 1t should have
nose that is round and short, kind of
IA pug, and full cheeks and upper lip.
The cat whose nose is thin and
sharp, and whose ears twitch nervous
ly, will never make a good pet. As
for mousers, they are rather tricky
when it comes to petting. The keen
mouser has full, sharp and eloquent
eyes.
THE best and gentlest of cats,
though, can be ruined by overlooking.
Too much meat is always bad, but
especially in warm weather. Cats, as
well as people, grow cross and irritable
if their stomachs are out of order

When a child first enters school, we
select through our knowledge of psych-
ology, the studies that will be of the
most practical use to him in the way
of developing his mind and preparing
him to become the ideal man. The
teacher is. and must be, interested in
anything that affects the child's activ
ity, his growth, health and ability to
work This will include every investi-
cation or observation of children that
has any relation whatever to education
THE greater and more scientific the
teachers knowledge of human nature.
the more ready and skillful will be his
application of principles to varying cir
cumstances, and the larger and more
perfect will be the product of his artis-
tic skill"
1t is a settled fact that the mind is
a real existing thing. 1t is. also, just
as much an undisputed fact that the
mind develops according to certain
laws. If, then, the evolution of intelli-
gence in the child conforms to laws, is
it not true that education can be
rightly guided only by a knowledge Of
these laws
1t is impossible for us to suppose that
we can properly regulate the process
of mental growth and development
without understanding the nature of
the process.
Just as a knowledge of mathematics
and mechanics has wrought marvellous
improvements in all the arts of con-
struction: Just as a knowledge of steam
and electricity has made a revolution in
modes of communication. travel and
transportation of commodities: just as
a knowledge of anatomy or physiology
has transformed medicine from empiri-
cism to applied science. SO a knowledge
