"What is III"

Go directly to nature rather than to
books, and find out for yourself rather
than ask some one. But you will need
10 use books somewhat, and in this de-
partment we prefer to have you ask
questions about something in which
you are especially interested rather
than to tell you much of things you
have never seen.
What is it?" you will doubtless ex-
claim when you find a new specimen.
Find out for yourself If possible; but,
II not, then ask your father, mother,
teacher, or some friend. In this way
you may be doing good missionary
work. Perhaps others in your neigh
Dorhood will become interested, and
enjoy taking closer observation of
many heretofore unobserved beauties
IN the world of nature. If you so de-
sire mail any specimen that puzzles
you to Edward f. Biglow, Stamford,
Connecticut, incloslng stamped and
self-addressed envelope for answer,
and he will endeavor to help you.

A wonderful Deaf Mute Prodigy.

In Mary Wilson, fifteen years old,
born a deaf mute the daughter Of an
Erie county farmer, the authorities of
the Western Pennsylvania Institute
have discovered a prodigy. Without
any instructions whatever the child
has developed a remarkable talent for
drawing. So promising is her talent
that class in drawing has been es-
tablished, in which she is thus far the
only pupil.
The child's pencil and chalk draw
ings show a remarkable sense of OBJ
servation, and her devotion to her new
found pleasure is something almost
abnormal She gives her time to it,
to the detriment of all her other stud
les, needless of rebukes. Only the 9TH
er day her teacher caught her in
church surreptitiously drawing some
big lazy pigs summing themselves in a
field of daisies. And the pigs were very
lifelike pigs at that.
She has an excellent memory for
detail, and can accurately reproduce
what she sees, animals being her
favorite subjects. While out walking
recently she saw a lot of chickens,
and old hens proudly strutting before
their broods, and on her return to
school she drew them.
Although so fond of drawing, this
child-artist does not take kindly to
teaching, consisting as it does with be-
ginners of reproducing blocks and
vases.-N. Y. Herald.

surely an Attlstlo screen.

An impecuniOus maiden with artis-
tic tendencies recently found herself
in need of a screen to hide the bald
ness of the necessary washstand, the
one disturbing element in an other
wise dainty room. A friend gave her
a japanese screen of dilapidated an
tiquity, adding that she could recover
it and it would be as good as new.
After pricing the pretty things in
tapestry and Oriental drapery our in
genious maiden decided she must
manufacture something herself. She
invested in a heavy cartridge paper OF
a dark gray tone which she carefully
pasted on one side of the screen.
across the bottom she made an artis-
tic scroll design in sepia, and then sat
herself down to wait for visitors in
the artistic and decorative line, of
which she had many.
Her first caller was a youth whose
drawings have enlivened the pages OF
many a daily journal To him she
explained her predicament, and he
good-naturedly produced the ubiquit
Gus bit of crayon and sketched in one
of his popular cartoons. Other friends
soon came to her assistance, and at
the end of a week the screen was fin
ished, completely covered with auto
graphed sketches, all Of considerable
artistic merit and many of no little
intrinsic value as well.-N. Y. Herald.

Alaskan Islands That Produce Skins
Worth as Much as $500 Each.
c. r. Isham. United States Commits
sioner of Unga Islands, Alaska, while
at Tacoma on his way to Washington
recently, said:
"Unga Island Is the great centre
Of the sea otter and fox skin indus
tries, and virtually all the inhabitants
are engaged in hunting one or both of
these. The catch is important, though
the number of animals is not large.
For instance, this year the eleven isl
ands of the Shumagin group, including
Unga, produced from the surrounding
waters thirty-four sea offers. The
value Of these skins is $500 each. Be
sides this the islands are producing
black and blue fox skins in large num-
bers. One island alone has produced
up to the time / left ninety skins,
worth $40 each or $500
Other islands are also producing
steadily The black foxes we're plant
ed originally in Unga, Sanak, Belofsky
and other islands by the Russian
American Fur Company to augment
the scant supply after the company's
men had been long trapping on the
islands. After the United States had
had the trapping for some years our
government leased the eleven islands
to different traders and Aleut chiefs
for the purpose of raising blue foxes.
The Islands were well stocked with
the blue variety, and these have been
crossed with the black in many cases,
and an occasionally fine fur resulted.
This year the natives of Belofsky
Island caught seventeen sea otter,
enough to carry the whole village OF
$50 people through the winter in good
shape. The Indians go forth on the sea
In their bidarkas and shoot the otter
with their shotguns, as a rule. In some
cases they use nets, but shooting
them in the usual way. These otter
skins are the best found in any mar
ket In the world.
II am going to Washington now to
try to get the government to erect
board houses on the islands for theuse
of the Indians in drying salmon, and
also desire to get a medical dispens-
ary and a doctor for the Indians, Dis
eases Of different kinds have broken
out among them. Substantially the
Aleuts need besides this, only flour
tea and ammunition, and these sup
plies they can buy Of the traders from
their otter and fox skin catches.
There are plenty of Goldfish, eggs of
wild fowl and some game, in addition
to the salmon, as a general thing, but
once in a while there is a hard year,
and the Indians have to live on roots
and herbs. Tacoma Ledger.

cured Honors Of War.
When the British. under General
Wolseley, were called upon to defend
Lydenburg against the Beers, led by
Commander Cronje In the last war,
one of the English soldiers was con
fined in an isolated fortified prison.
Directly the guns began to shoot"
the six native warders unoeremonious-
ly fed leaving their solitary prisoner
to shift for himself. Finding plenty OF
rations and water, together with the
warders' abandoned earbines and lots
Of ammunition, the man decided to
hold the fort" aud defy the whole
BOer crowd. Commanded by the en-
emy to surrender he refused in a
beautiful assortment of cuss words,
and got his guns ready
Firing then opened, and the prison
received some pretty warm attention,
but the defender briskly returned the
compliment through the loopholes,
and also was fortunate enough to es-
cape being hit
After a few days the besiegers again
asked for the place to be given up.
The devil-may-care now without pro
visions and reduced to a few cart
ridges, wisely agreed, on condition
that the garrison were allowed a free
passage to the main fort and to take
al arms with them. After a big pal
aver the Beers accepted his terms, and
sent a flag of truce to the British com
manding officer, telling him of what
was about to take place. Consequently,
to the bowling delight of all his fel
lows in the main fort, Tommy sur
rendered and marched out, staggering
under the weight of all the weapons
the place contained
When asked by Gen Cronje where
all the other "Rhooi badgys" (soldiers)
were Tommy replied with a grin:
Il am the garrison, old chap; there's
not another man In the place, and the
grub's all gone"
Then he gayly marched to the main
fort, whistllng the then latest concert
hall air. Wolseley was so pleased
with his exploit that he remitted his
punishment and gave him back his
former service, which he had lost by
order of court-martlal.-Cin Enquirer
