Father of Natural History.

Carl Linnaeus, the eminent Swedish
naturalist, was born in Sweden in 1905.
His father was great lover of nature,
and when Carl was but four years OF
age, he began giving him simple les
sons in botany. He taught him the
names of the Swedish plants and
flowers that grew in their garden, and
of many foreign ones also.
Often, after having shown the child
peculiar plant or flower, and pointed
out its chief characteristics, he would
send him to search for another like it.
In order to vary the lessons and thus
make them as interesting as possible
to the boy, the father would sometimes
teach him to transplant, and some
times he would allow him to SOW the
seeds. Many times he took him to
the woods for the purpose of pointing
out the different kinds of trees, and
teaching him their names.
When Carl was six years of age, he
was taught the Latin names of the
plants and flowers that grew about
him. He found the Latin names diff
cult to remember, and wished to give
up trying to learn them.
"Try to conquer difficulties, my
son." said his father, ''you know not
how much of your success in life may
depend upon that little word try"
Thus encouraged, the child perse-
vered, and at last his botany lessons
grew easier to him, and he found real
pleasure in them. While yet youth
he determined to devote himself to
the study of natural history. He told
his father what he wished to do, and
asked that, if possible, he might be
sent to the University of Upsal to
prosecute his studies.
"My income is so small" his father
replied, shat the most I could pos
sibly allow you would be but $40
year. How could you live on that at
Upsal?"
Thanks to my early training" said
the young man, 81 will at least try to
conquer difficulties.
He went to the university and took
up his chosen study; but SO great was
his destitution while trying to finish
his education, that lie often had not
enough to eat His clothes after
time became very shabby, and he
mended his shoes time after time with
folds of brown paper. Yet he dill
gently persevered, never once swerv.
ng from his purpose.
At last he was rewarded by a
scholarship, which slightly increased
his income, and soon afterward, hav-
ing attracted the notice OF some of the
university professors by his untiring
industry, they got private pupils for
him. Then the professor OF botany
appointed him his deputy lecturer,
took him into his home as tutor to his
children. and gave him free access to
a fine library and collection of draw.
ings.
Encouraged beyond all expectation
Linnaeus worked faithfully on, COM
pleted his education and went to live
III Stockholm. There he was en-
ployed by the government to deliver
lectures on botany and mineralogy.
He wrote books on the subject that
were read aud greatly admired. His
fame as botanist spread throughout
Europe, and he was styled the Father
of Natural History"
His works on botany are particularly

THE KIhD.HEARTEo czARINA.
Russia's Empress Greatly Beloved by
Her People.

Her People.
The young Empress of Russia,
whose newest photograph is here re-
produced, has, according to report,
achieved an immense amount of good,
not only in st. Petersburg, but in
far-away Siberia. She is actively pro.
noting the establishment of nursing
homes and of hospitals for members
of her own sex and slowly but surely
the Empress's influence is making for
good in the higher and more frivo-
lous stratum of Russian society.
The Czarina holds her own among
the splendidly dressed women of
Europe. She has exquisite taste, and
never looks to greater advantage than
when in full dress. On the other
hand, the imperial nurseries are sim.
pie and unostentatious in all their ap-
pointments, and, greatly to the sor.
row of their Russian attendants, the
three little grand dnchesses are not
allowed to wear any jewelry, though

it is certain that they are always aware
of the plans and prospective move
ments of these bands.
Even to-day there is not native in
Manila, friendly though he may pro-
fess himself to be, who will breathe a
word as to Aguinaldo's whereabouts,
yet there are doubtless thousands who
know exactly where he is, and many
who doubtless are in constant COM
munication with him.

insurgents deem it imprudent to offer
opposition. When the column has
passed, they come out of the woods
and fall upon the little bands of strag-
glers and outposts and signal corps
men.
From now on the guerilla methods
must be met by smaller and more mo-
bile forces. General Lawton, with
his great experience in this method of
waging war, would have been quick to
adjust himself to the new conditions.
General Bell is pre- .eminently qualified
for the kind of work that will now
have to be done, while General Funs-
ton, whose Cuban experience has fitted
him we'll to meet the new conditions,
will undoubtedly adjust his tactics to
meet those of the lsurgents.

Another single word,
And of our hero not a trace I've found,

And I'm sure there's nothing sadder
Than to be a little adder

THOSE who haven't the right to
vote here will be vigorously prosecu-
ted after the election. Usually the
voters are allowed TO go after the cleo

to be prosecuted and made to suffer
for what they have done in defiance Of
the law. Every legal voter can put in
his ballot but those who are not en-
titled to vote had better keep away.
