A Trihe

An inspector was examining a school
in a country district some distance
from a railway station. He was afraid
of losing his train, so, hurrying with
his work, he tried to do two things
at once. Standing in the doorway, he
gave out dictation to Standard H., in
the main room, and at the same time
dictated a sum to Standard v, in the
classroom, jerking out a few words
alternately.
The sum was: IF a couple Of fat
ducks cost $3.50, how many can be got
for $21.35?" The dictation for Stan
dard II. began: Now, as a lion,
proving about in search" etc. OF
course, the poor children heard both
and got a bit mixed. One little girls
dictation began: Nov, a couple Of
ducks prowling about in search Of a
lion who had lost $780," while a Stan
dard V. lad was scratching his head
over the following sum: IF seventy
two couples of fat lions cost $3.50 how
much prowling could be got for
$21.35."

FOR HI CHILDREN
The Nests of Doves.

Not long ago a gentleman of this city
who hunts a great deal remarked that
In some parts of the west the doves
nest almost entirely upon the ground.
He spoke of it as though the doves
were gradually changing their habit of
nesting. | became interested and look
ed the matter up and found that, TAX
ing the United States as a whole, the
doves nest very largely upon the
ground. Just in this locality nests upon
the ground are extremely rare. Indeed,
l have only found one in all the years
/ ave been noticing birds. l found
that nest last summer in the middle Of
a large field of ripe wheat. 1 simply
happened upon this nest, for as 1 pass
ed over it with the binder the bird fut-
tered out of the way and tried to lead
me away by feigning lameness.
After some search 1 found the nest
unframed by the machine. 1t was sim
ply a few bits of straw and weeds pull
ed together around the edge of a hoof
print in the hard ground. The eggs
were not placed upon the straw and
weeds, but upon the bare ground, the
straw and weeds simply bounding the
edge of the nest. The vast majority of
the nests 1 have found have been in old
apple orchards, usually very near the
ground. The nest is generally placed
on a large horizontal limb when not Sc
cure in a heavy crotch where the main
limbs branch. 1t is merely a light plat
form Of twigs and seems so slight that
it Is q miracle that the eggs stay in it
at all.
Last summer l found a nest where
two rails crossed in an old worn
fence" A great mass of five leaf ivy
overhung this nest from a stake rail-"
and the bird seemed to realize that the
shadow was a great protection, for you
could almost put your hand upon her
before she would leave her eggs

Read Biography.

Boys and girls who dislike the biog-
raphy they are 70 earnestly advised to
read should hear what Lord Lytton
says:
"When some n sorrow that is yet
reparable gets hold of your mind like
a monomania; when you think, because
heaven has denied you this or that on
which you had set your heart, that all
your life must be q blank, oh, then diet
yourself on biography-the biography
of good and great men. See how little
space one sorrow really makes in life;
see scarce a page, perhaps, given to
some grief similar to your own and
how t%riumphantly the life sails on be-
yond it! You thought the wing was
broken. Tut, tut! 1t was but a bruised
feather. See what life leaves behind
1t when all Is done-a summary of posi-
tive facts far out Of the region of sor-
row and suffering, linking themselves
with the being of the world. Yes, BIZ
ography is the medicine here"

We advise every little grammarian
just entering on Murray, Brown, or
any Of the thousand grammars in use,
to commit to memory the following
easy lines, and then they never need
to mistake a part of speech
Three little words you often see,
Are articles-A, An and The.
A Noun is the name of anything,
AS School, or. Garden, Hoop or Swing.
Adjectives tell the kind of Noun.
AS Great, or Small, Pretty, White or
Brown.
Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand.
Her head, His face, Your arm, My
hand
Verbs tell of something being done
to read, Count, Laugh, Sing, Jump or
Run.
How things are done the Adverbs tell
AS Slowly, Quickly, Ill or well.
Conjunctions join the words together
AS men and women, wind and weather.
The Proposition stands before
A Noun, as In or Through a door.
The whole are called nine parts or
speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking,
teach.

Saved His Fathers Life.

A Shickshinny Pa) boy, aged II
years, recently saved his fathers life
by his remarkable presence of mind
and his ability to put into practice a
physiology lesson which he had learned
at school.
This boy Is Loran De Witt Briggs.
He began attending the public schools
at 6 years of age and has proved him
self an apt pupil.
The newspaper Of this boys native
town recently told an incident that
shows of what material he is made:
"Loran Briggs, the young 0 of For
est W. Briggs, proved himself a hero
Tuesday evening. His father is recov-
ering from typhoid fever and was just
able to walk about the room. He struck
a match to light a lamp, but did not no.
tice that part of the head flew inside
his dressing gown. The inflammable
material was ignited in a moment. Lo-
ran discovered the flames and cried
out: Papa, you are afire! Lie down,
guick.' Mr.. Briggs was by this time
enveloped in flames, but he obeyed his
son. In fact, he was too weak to do
anything for himself. Loran seized a
rug and, placing it over his father, soon
smothered the fire. Had it not been for
his prompt action and presence of mind
his father would have been horribly if
not fatally burned.
when asked afterward why he
thought of this way Of putting out the
fire, Loran said he had learned it from
the study of physiology at school, a
chapter Of his textbook being devoted
to directions in cases of accident"

In this game touch chases one player
until another runs across his path be-
tween him and the boy pursued, upon
which touch must Immediately run aft
err the one who crossed until some 9th
er crossing between them must in his
turn be followed. In this way the
game continues until one is touched,
who takes the Office of touch and gives
chase to the others.
The games touch wood and touch
iron are founded on the above. When
the boys pursued by touch can touch
either wood or iron, they are safe, the
rule being that he. must touch them as
they run from one piece of wood or
iron to another.

'How I wish I'd baked some pies;
