wild Oats That Travel,

About all our interest in wild oats
in these days relates to the various
ways that young men are supposed to
SOW them. But, in addition to their
interest in n moral sense, they have at
least one peculiar characteristic; that
is, they travel at will, apparently. If
You doubt this, get head of wild oats
and lay it on the table over night, first
moistening the oats. Next morning
you will discover that the head of oats
has crawled Off the table, and, likely
enough, has made tracks for the out
side door. This peculiar bit of travel
ing lies in the spikes that extend from
the coverings Of the grains. AS the
moisture soaks into the head of oats
it swells, and the spikes change posi-
tion in such n way as to set the head
to tumbling over and over, sidewise.
The larger and coarses varieties of wild
pats have this power of locomotion
developed to remarkable degree, anil
even domestic oats will develop it if
allowed by neglect to degenerate. Go
down into the fence corners of the
oatfeld and see if you cannot find n
long and we'll bearded head of ''tame"
pats that has been allowed to grow
wild. Then take it home and try the
experiment. Chicago Record.

big or bright, yet they were a remark.
able family, for there were four Of
them, and it is not often 2 izzly
mother can boast of more than two.
The woolly coated little creatures
were having fine time, and revelled
in the lovely mountain summer and
the abundance of good things. Their
mother turned over each log and fiat
stone they came to; the moment it
was lifted they all rushed under its
like lot OF little pigs. to lick up the
ants and grubs there hidden. It never
occurred to them that mammy's
strength might fail some time, and let

under it; nor would any one have

to see that huge arm and that huge
shoulder sliding about under the great

were quite right. So they hustled
and tumbled over one another at each
fresh log in their haste to be first, and
squealed little squeals and growled
little growls, as if each was pig,
pup and kitten, all rolled into one.
They were we'll acquainted with the
common brown ants that harbor un-
der logs in the uplands, but now they
came for the first time on one of the
hills of the great. fat, luscious wood
ant, and they all crowded aroun to
lick up those that ran out. But they
soon found that they were licking up
more cactus prickles and sand than
ants, till their mother said in Grizzly,
LET me- show you how" She
knocked of the top Of the hill, then
laid her great paw hat on it for few
moments, and, as the angry ants
swarmed to it, she licked them up
with one lick, and got good. rich
mouthful to crunch, without grain
of sand or cactus stinger in it. The
cubs soon learned Each put both
his little brown paws so that there
was ring of paws all around the ant
hill, and there they sat, like children
playing 'shands," and each licked first
the right and then the lef! paw, or one
cuf1ed his brothers ears for licking a
paw that was not his own, all the ant
hill was cleared out, and they were
ready for n change. Ernest Seton

Jealou.y Among Monkeys,


When monkey gives way to jeal-

the animal that has innocently aroused
its malice that makes i. for the time o
monster of cruelty. On ship re-
turning from one of her tours in tropi-
cal lands was a monkey which became
great friend Of the stewardess.
One day she fed another monkey, a
pretty, gentle creature. This trihing
attention enraged the other monkey,
which coaxed the little thing to its
side and then, before the stewardess
had time to realize that mischief was
meant, took it by the neck and flung
it overheard.
OF another monkey the same person
tells that while preparing dinner for a
grand party the cook was absent from
the kitchen for minute. No sooner
had her back been turned than the
monkey slipped kitten of which it
had always been jealous into the soup
pot. The poor kittens fate was only
discovered at dinner time, when the
guests sent back their soup untasted,
because it was found to be full OF
short hairs. In both cases there is
no doubt the monkey was cruel by
malice aforethougbt.

Che Vicissitudes of Senator Gears Hat
Senator Gear wears soft felt hat.
He does not leave it in the cloakroom.
