Know ThyseIf.

A teacher in one of Boston's public
schools had instructed her pupils in
hygiene, and toward the end of the
term, wishing to see how well they
could remember, iold them to each
write out a little story of the human
body. The following is copied from
the STORY n small boy handed her,
with the confident assurance that he
knew it was all right, for he had stud
led very hard over it,.
THE human body is divided into
three parts: the head, the thorax and
the abdomen.
THE head contains the brains, if
there are any; the thorax contains the
heart and the vital organs, and the alb
domen the vowels. of which there are
five, a, e, !, o and u, and sometimes W

Little Bird-Mofher.

1t is very hard TO get acquainted
with a humming bird. Do you know
why? 1t is because the bird is so shy
and can fly SO fast.
A humming bird once built her tiny
nest where it could be seen from Il
gentleman's window. One day a heavy
shower was coming up, and just az
the first big drops began to fall the
little mother came flying home What
do you think she did? She took a
large leaf from a tree close by, put
it over the nest so as to cover it ali
UP, and then few away. The gentle
man wondered why the leaf did not
blow away. He found it was hooked
fast to a tiny stick just inside the nest.
When the storm was over the little
mother came home, unlocked the
green umbrella, and found her baby
birds all nice and dry.-Ram's Horn.

AFRAID OF THE BELGIAN HARE.



Washington. D. G. Special. The
Department Of Agriculture has heard
from California and other Western
States that the Belgian hare has be-
come not only a nuisance, but a Sc
rious menace to the fruit and other
growing industries. The fad, de-
mand for it has ceased, and fanciers
who cannot give away their animals
are turning them loose to multiply at
large.
The County Commissioners in San
Diego, Cal, have taken action toward
prohibiting the importation Of hares.
and restricting the terms under which
they may be kept. The State Of WASH
ington is contemplating similar le2ls-
latfve action The people Of California
are seriously alarmed lest the belgian
hare become as much Of a pest as the

This charming young singer, who was
given the task by the managers OF the
Bostonans, OF causing US to forget Jes-
sic Bartlett Davis and who left the
town raylng about her beauty, was here
three years ago as a member OF the
Bostonians' chorus. She attracted the
eye Of Alice Nelson, Just as Jennie
Hawey did, and both were car
rled out OF the company when
she and Eugene Cowles sece-
ded. Miss Van Dresser and Jennie
Hawley were given companion parts in
THE Fortune Teller" the first Nelson
opera. Her advance was rapid and she
took place in Days company. When
Jessie Bartlett Davis drew out OF their
company, the Bostonlans decided on
giving the former chorus girl a chance.
She was engaged for one year, with
the option Of three and from the way
she has been greeted all along the road.
