Mrs. Jobaon did not begin, as usual,

that he wanted her to suggest that
they take a spin to some cool place,
but Mrs. Jobson didn't have any such
suggestion to make. she said she
wasn't feeling the heat at all. Mr..

then he went on to say that he

Take a globe of copper and draw

the linen or cotton is closely woven,
the trick is all the more certain. Then
holding the clothing tightly in place
you can safely put glowing coal on

THE REsTLEss ONES.


The man who wants to do things.
Hes q very curious chap;
He's the author of few things
That have changed the nations map
He has argued and GRATED.
He has done his level best;
He Is Iampo0ned or he's feted
And he never gets rest
They buffet and abuse him
And he finds when he Is through.
They forget him and refuse him
What IL honestly his due.
And sometimes his name is banlshed
Like comet strangely bright
That has famed awhile and vanished
Somewhere far Into the night
All serene in his convictions
He must face the jeerinR crowd.
OF his personal Affections
He may never speak aloud.

hide and squeak a few times, when
two or three muskrats will come out
to see what the matter is, or what
young muskrat has got into trouble.
If you go often and watch. you may
see a good many curious things; see
"Musquash" Chats his Indian name)
digging canal, or building his house
or cutting wood, or catching a trout,
or cracking a fresh-water clam, OF
rolling a ducks egg along on the wa
ter's edge, so as not to break it, to his
little ones in the den, far below. And
If you like bananas, you may some.
times smack your lips at seeing him
eat his banana in his own way. This
is how he does it:
First, he goes to the rushes, and,
diving down, bites off the biggest one
close to the bottom, so as to save the
soft, white part, that grows under wa.
ter. Then he tows it to his favorite
eating place. This is sometimes the
top of a bog, sometimes fiat rock on
the shore, sometimes a stranded log;
but. wherever it is, he likes to eat in
that one place, and always goes there
when he is not too far away, or toe
hungry to wait.
Crawling out to his table, he cuts
off a piece of the stump of his rush
and sits up straight, holding it in his
fore paws. Then he peels it carefully
pulling off strip after strip of the outer
husk with his teeth, till only the soft
white, luscious pith remains. This he
devours greedily, holding it in his paws
and biting the end off and biting il
of again, until there isn't any END
left-exactly as a schoolboy often eats
banana. Then he cuts off a second
piece. if the rush is big one, or swim.
and gets another, which he treats il
the same way.
And IL you are boy watching him
your mouth begins to water" and
you go and cut a rush for yourself
and eat it as Musquash did. If you ar,
hungry 1t is not very bad.
