WHAT 4 BOY CAN DO.

The services Of the big boys
are required in the farm work,
and they haven't much time to
devote to the poultry on the place.
But the little feIlows-the boys
from 7 to 10 years old-can take
hold Of the chicken interests and
make something out Of it; nos
much perhaps. but enough to
pay a boy well for his time and
services, and at the same time
keep him out Of mischief. He
can yard up the best hens on the
place with the largest and finest
rooster8, and take extra good
care Of them. Then he can make
a poultry venture on his own &C
count, Let him sell all the eggs
that his selected hens may lay,
and let MIN care for the young
chickens and market them as
soon as they are large enough to
eat. That is the most profitable
size at which TO sell a chicken.
It reduces loss Eom all causes to
a minimum, and incure5 a maxi
mum Of prcft,
During the season, by follow
ing this plan, the small boy who
would otherwise do nothing,
should be able To market two or
three hundren young chickens
from q dozen selected common
hens between now and the first Of
AugusC. If he should only clear
a nickle on each chicken sold
whereas he should make q dime
net profit on each one--he shall
have done well for q little fellow,
and be just that much richer fEIiQ}
the boy Of his size who laIe9 away
the spring and summer and does
nothing but deyilment.-Ex.

WOMAN FAXED ALIVE.

Lamar, March 29.-Mrs. II, D.
Lamb, the wife Of q prominent
citizen Of LANAI, caught her
clothing on fire and was burned
to death yesterday evening, the
circumstances being horrible in
the extreme. Taere was no one
present, and tits thought she was
in a paroxysm Of epilepsy, as she
was s1bidct to fits Of epilepsy.
When she caugh: fire she had ia--

enough to set fire to the loor in
two places. She had run into
every room in the house, FIVE in
all, leaving a trail Of ashes and
burning clothing in her wake.
When found every thread Of her
clothing was burned except a
band Of one Of her skirts. She
was literally baked alive. Words

CHARACTER. AND TAKE PART IN
THE COLONIAL. GOVERNMENT

The fact that London papers commented co
severely on the expected acceptance Of a de-
tachment OF Maoris for service in South Africa"
said visiting New -Zealander shows ignorance
of the nature and appearance of the NewZea-
land aboriGines. II is generally known that
they infinitely superior To the Bushmen of
Australia. but the papers have referred TO them
as a race inferior to the Indians. who have not
been used in the Boe war because their en-
ployment would have been an insult 10 the
Dutch AS a matter of fact, neither statement
is quite true. The Maoris in question were more
than likely halfbreeds. They are not even when
full blOOded a black or, until old age. a dark,
race Young MaoTis of unmiXed blood are light
brown and when there is a mixture of Euro
pean blood they cannot. in color. be dis
tinguished from white men. They are a race so
noble that inteTmarriage has not been con-
sdered a disgrace to white men. and in this
way there has been created a halfbreed people
of fine intelligence and high character. 1t is
well known that many members of the New
Zealand Parliament are Maoris. some of them
full blooded and the Colonial Secretary at
one time a halfbreed.
There is race problem in NewZealand.
Maoris and Europeans live together in mutual
respect, their children attend the same schools.
and intermarriage is common. In addition to
the high racial standing of The Maoris, they
have shown, as people, genius Tor warfare
Before the coming of the white man they had
perfected fine system of attack, and espe-
ciaIly of defence. So that they would have
made good soldiers had Mr.. Chamberlain ac-
cepted their prOffered service and only the idea
of their being Maoris could haze given offence.
as their color would very likely not have be-
trayed it at ALL And as to tae British Govern
ment's refusal to Indian troops, that is due.
as every one ought 10 know to the fact that
England has good reason to refrain from allow
ing her Indian subjects To taste white blood.
The superior race idea has to be given promi-
nent place in India, and England would be
foolish indeed, to teach the rank and file of the
Indian troops that when it comes TO fighting
racial superiority has. for the nonce. to retire

FAITHFUL SHEPHERD DOGS.
From The Portland Oregonian.

From The Portland Oregonian.
Last October a cold spell in Montana killed a
sheepherder in the Great Fall district, two feet
of snow covering the range in places, and the
thermometer indicated 40 degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on the prairles
while caring for the sheep. and il was three
DAYS before his fate was known 10 his employers
Two shepherd dogs with him when he died,
and one of these stayed with his body while the
other attended TO the sheep just as though the
herder had been with him. The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and back again
at night guarding them from wolves and pre-
venting them from strayng off. Neither dog
had anything TO eat during the three days vigil
so far as could be ascertained, but the 2,'hp
sheep thrived as we'll apparently, though
directed by human agency. The singular fact
about the matter is that these faithful animals
would have starved to death rather than harm
one of the sheep left in their charge.

Probably the oldest book for home lessons in
arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt.
The papyrus which was i'm excellent condition,
dates from about 100 Il. C.-that is, about one
hundred years before the time of Moses, or al
most thirty-siX hundred years ago. II proves
that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge
of the elementary mathematics almost TO the
extent Of our own. The papyrus has a long
heading. Direction How to- Attain the knowl-
edge of All Dark Things" etc. Numerous exam
pies show that their principal operations with
entire units and fractions were made by means
of addition and multiplication. Subtraction and
divisions were not known in their present form,
but correct results were obtained, nevertheless.
Equations were also found in the papyrus.
