GRAMMAR IN RHYME

We advise every little grammarian ju entering on Murray, Brown, or any of tl thousand grammars in use, to commit memory the following easy lines, and tn, they never need to mistake part of speecl 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 Brow 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 Rul How things are done the Adverbs tell- As Slowly, Quickly, III or Well. Conjunctions join the words together As men and women, wind and weather. The Proposition stands before A Noun, as In or Through door. The Interjection shows surprise As, Oh! how pretty. An how wise. The whole are called nine parts of speech, Which reading, writing, speaking, teach.

they are for small amounts. Prior to
the adoption of the present law, which
is known as the Antimoiety act. in
June 1874, the government got so per

port at which the seizure was made
and the men actually engaged in the
capture. In those years it was gener.
ally considered that the position of
collector of the port OF New York was
worth $l50000 a year. Chester A
Arthur made the foundation for his
fortune while collector of that port.
AS a rule the collector of the port got
70 per cent and the other Is per cent

PEST OF PRAIRIE DOGS.
Poison in Bulk Proposed as a Means
CT Killing Them.

The destructive prairie Cog is him
self to be destroyed by an act OF con
gress. Hundreds of acres of cattle
ranging in western Kansas are being
ruined by these little creatures. And
now Representative Cone, of Haskell
county, has introduced a bill asking
for $4,000 to buy poison with which
TO kill off the entire prairie dog popu-
lation.
In many western counties the
mounds in which the dogs live are
scattered by hundreds over the
prairies, and these mounds are the
homes of countless thousands of the
rodent, says the New York World.
The dogs burrow into the ground
and gnaw the roots Of buffalo grass,
the principal food of the great cattle
herds of the west,
The prairie dog is not the only pest
with which governments have had to
carry on warfare. In Australia the
jack rabbits have caused such de-
struction of the grass that the people
go out in great parties and make jack
rabbit round-ups or drives.
Thousands are killed in these
drives, but still the creatures increase,
Another creature that is puzzling a
government is the mongoose. 1t was
imported from India to rid the island
Of Jamaica of the swarms of rats that
infested the place
The mongoose, however, increased
so rapidly that it became greater
pest than the rats, and so far no way
of getting rid of the beasts has been
| found.

Could Have Worn Ancient Armor.

1t is a matter Of common knowledge
that. in spite of it's formidable-looking
size, some of the armor in the Tower
of London has proved too small for
modern men of average proportions.
Obstinate admirer of the past, hav-
ing had to abandon their theory of the
bigger stature Of our forefathers,
fell back upon their suNerior pow
ers for carrying weight. 1t is never
theless doubtful whether they in that
respect could have surpassed the feat
of John Thompson and Thomas
Tomopson, respectively 49 and Y
each, each of whom came from Wal
worth with 90 pounds of lead con
cealed upon his person in the shape
of breast and back plates. They
unfortunately knocked literally at the

where Detective-Sergeant Beard was
at that moment conductingt search.
He, therefore, took them in custody.

Peculiar Brain Injury.

w. C. Krauss reports the case of a
herdsman in stockyard who was
struck by passing train. He re-
ceived several scalp wounds and a
depressed fracture three inches above
and one inch behind the left eat. He
was Immediately trephined and the
depressed bone removed. 1t was
necessary to strap him in bed, as he
constantly tried to remove his ban
dages with his right arm or waved 1t
up and down. About II hours after
the operation he began to whistle, not,
however, the popular songs OF the
day." but the whistle calls he was &C
customed to use in calling or driving
his hocks He would continue
whistling for about one minute. then
would cease for Ave or ten minutes,
and kept this up at regular intervals
until he died, four days after the
operation. At no time was ii possible
to distinguish any melody TIL >
sounds were of the same pitch and in
tensity and of the same character.
They were audible throughout the
ward and attracted the attention of
patients and attendants. To the
physicians in attendance it was a
strange experience to hear these
whistle calls coming from a patient in
a state Of unconsciousness. 1t was
impossible to rouse the patient at any
time before or after the operation.
and he died, whistling a few minutes
before death.-Journal of Nervous and
Mental Disease, January. 1901.
