The Shipmaster's Cow,

critter-nothin the matter with her
But 1t seems the captains wife ons
day thought the milk tasted funny
and segested that p'raps she'd been
eatin spruce boughs; said the milk
tasted like spruce. And what does he
do but go out in the pasture to watch
the COW, TO see what she did eat. The
COW was fayin down, chewin her cud,
and he went erlong and run his finger
In her mouth to see what she was eat
In. Then he was mad He put rope
on the COW and started Off with her.
He met a neighbor, who says, Where
are you goin with the cowr Coin to
take her back to the feller that sold
her to me. He's cheated me, and l
won't stand it.
"The man wanted to know what was
the matter, and he went on to tell
about 1t and says; She wasn't eatin
boughs, but she was chewin gum;
that's what's the matter with the milk
and makes II taste like spruce. And,'
he says, that amt all. She's so addict
ed to the habit that she's worn all her
teeth out. She amt got an upper tooth
In her head. Back she goes, quick
"Of course, the man told him that it
was all nonsense-that cows never had
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe
word of 1t and went on and had tar
nal row with the man that sold him

FOR THE CHILDREN


A distinguished economist felt that 1t

save as to train him to earn, says
American Boy. He formulated sys-
tenn of savings for the lower schools Of
France so wise and efficient that in ten
wears there were In France 2l,OOO
school savings banks, with 442,O2O de-
positOrs, whose weekly average depos-
frs Of IL centimes had amounted to |
1O,24S,2 ,22G francs, or over S2,OOO,Ooo. /
The establishment of the banks was
left to the voluntary efforts of the
teachers. The children deposited pock-
ct money only, and it was made part
Of every Monday morning exercise.
The French cultivate the saving hab-

their savings $4OO for the relief Of the

IN CASE OF FiAs.
How 10 Act When MenRcsd by This
Dangerous Element.

Dangerous Element.
In case of fire If the burning arti.
cles are at once splashed with a solu-
ton of salt and nitrate of ammonia
an incombustible coating is formed.
This is a preparation which can be
made at home at trifling cost and
should be kept on hand. Dissolve 20
pounds of common salt and 10 pounds
Of nitrate of ammonia in seven gallons
of water. Pour this into quart bottles
Of thin glass, and fire grenades are at
hand ready for use. These bottles
must be tightly cOrked and sealed to
prevent evaporation, and In case OF
fire they must be thrown near the
flames, 80 as TO break and libcratc the
gas contained. At least two dozen
of these bottles should be ready for
an emergency.
In this connection 1t Is well to re-
member that water on burning oil
scatters the flame, but that -four will
extinguish it, Salt thrown upon fire
if the chimney Is burning will help
to deaden the blaze.
If a fire once gets under headway,
a covering becomes a necessity. A
silk handk erchief moistened and wrap
ped about the mouth and nostrils pre-
vents suffOcation from smoke. Failing
this, a piece Of wet flannel will an
swer.
Should smoke fill the room, remem-
Der that it goes first to the top Of the
room and then to the floor. Wrap a
| blanket or woolen garment about you,
! with the wet cloth over your face,
/ drop on your hands and knees and
/ crawl to the window.
Bear in mind that there Is. no more
danger in getting down from a three
story window than from the first floor
If you keep a firm hold of the rope OF
ladder. DO not slide, but go hand OYel
