The Skill Of a Mouse.
One day q naturalist lay motionlefs
on a fallen log in the forest and silent
" watched an animal at play In the
grass near by. This was a large.
brown backed mouse, a meade
mouse, that had come out from his
home under the log and when tired of
play had sat up to make his toilet.
Using his foreraws as hands. the
mouse combed the white fur on his
breast and licked himself smooth and
sleek. Satisfied ut length with his ap
| pearance he began to search for food.
He did not have far to 60. for a few
stalks of wheat grew among the thick
weeds near at hand. The mouse was
SO large that he could probably have
bent the stalk down and brought the
grain within reach. Ii not. he couit
certainly have climbed the stalk. lie
did not try either Of these plans. how
ever. for these We're not his ways.
Sitting up very straight. he bit through
the stalk as high up as he could rcacl.
The we IS were so thick tha, TIE
straw could not fall its full length. and
the freshly cut end settled down upon
the ground. with the straw sill erect
and the grain out OF reach. The mouse
again bit the straw in two. and again
the upper portion settled down. In
this way he bit off five lengths Of
straw before he could hrin" the grain
within reach Of his paws. larSe fore
paws were very siillful little hands.
and he deftly huSked Il grain and ate
it. sitting erect and holding il to his
mouth as naturally as Il boy would
hold an apple.-Our Animal Friends.

Once WINS h.

The young nan who was trying to
make the st. Joe boat was about two
minutes late as be tore along River
street. He could see the steamer hands
casting off the ropes as he drew nearer.
and. humping amazed citizens out Of
his way. he rushed for the dock. The
gangplank had been hauled in. and the
nose of the steamer had swung six
feet Out into the river when he finally
reached the waters edge. But that
did not deter him. He was going to
spend Sunday in Michigan or know
why.
With a giant swing he tossed his va.
Use aboard and then jumped for the
steamer. He caught a rope and a post
and held fast. Every officer on the
boat expected to see him drop into the
river. and bells tangled noisily as the
captain peered " the side. When he
saw the intrepid passenger was safe.
the captain vas twice as mad as if he
had dropped into the water. Shaking
his fist at him angrily, he yelled:
Here, you, by Jimmy crickets, don't
you W do that again."
The passenger had hauled himself
aboard by this time and. turning a
look Of scorn at the captain, said:
What do you think I'm going to do
jump back ana try it oyer:"-Chica.

1OSncrar.s Not New.

The Australian nborigines are not the
only users Of tie boomerang, nor were
hey the first TO use that missile. The
Egyptians knew al about it, just as
erything else. At the present day the
boomerang is used by some American
Indian tribes and by the Dravidian
races of tie Indian peninsula. The
Missile used by the last named differs
in that it is thicker than the usual
form and does not return to the throw
er. The return of the boomerang is
due to the action of the wind. the
shape of the weapon and the manner
in which It is thrown.

STATE HOUSE.
Every Precaution Taken to Prevent
Smallpox Spreading
The Game Commissioners Grant Petition oil
Pickerei Club.

The man who it was feared would
spread the smallpox in the northern
part of the State has been finally To-
Gated, although not until the health
officers have had quite chase for him.
The disease started near Grand Fails
where it had been brought by man
who came from Montana. He was not
taken sick until he reached Grand
Falls and his wife and children We're
then exposed so that they are now sick.
One man who had been exposed TO the
disease started away from the town
and went to Hamlin Plantation and
then to Limestone. Getting word that
he had been in those places the health
officers were notified and the search
for him was commenced. 1t was
learned that he had been in Limestone
and the health authorities were notl-
fed. The man finally gave himself up.
Vaccinations have been made in those
places where there have been eX-
posures to the disease and there are
hopes that the disease may be headed
off DR.. G. l.. Washburn of this city,
who has been working under the di-
rection Of DR.. a. G.. Young, secretary
# the State Board of Health, has been
in consultation with the health officers
of those places where the people have
been exposed and went through Ham
lin and Caswcll plantations ana there
found that there had been some OK
pOsurcS.
The health authorities in the Prov
inccs are taking the same precautions
that the State Board of Health, acting
under the direction of DR.. Young, is
