 It was this way: On the very morning when Bob was the bluest there was heard dreadful rumbling and roaring in the streets of Monkeytown, which frightened every monkey out of his wits They all took to the woods. All but Bob. He was so blue that he wasn't afraid and he never budged from his chair as down the street came a raging, roaring lion, with eyes flashing fire and voice like rumblng thunder The lion stopped suddenly in front of Bob and roared out:
 Say, are you the dentist?'
 .Yes," said Bob, lazily. What can do for you?
 Look at my cheek" groaned the lion. Bob looked. :.
 Sure enough, the lions cheek was swelled and puffed out like the crown of derby hat.
 "Come into my ofice," said Bob, and the lion followed meekly as lamb. He was too large for the dentist chair, so Bob climbed on to stepladder to get a look at the aching

for she knows more about 1t than you do, and she will take a great deal of pleasure in beating you.
 You must kneel down before the cat and tap her quietly with your index finger. You may tap her once, but not the second time, for she will very neatly block your attempt with her paw. You must use only one finger of each hand, and be very careful to just barely touch the cat. Then you must stroke her back occasionally at first, to show that you are only playing with her and are not angry. The cat will understand very quick ly that you are only In fun and do not intend

to hurt her, and will keep her claws out Of sight, so as not to scratch you, unless she is a cranky old cat with a very sour temper, and if she is, you had better let her alone.
 Of course, you do not know much about boxing, but you will learn great deal from the cat If you watch the manner in which she will handle her paws. After the cat understands that it is only a game. and you have learned how to lead and counter from watching her, you can have some very pretty little bouts, which will amuse the whole family and greatly help to shorten rainy day.

A cat is a natural boxer. If you watch
 two kittens rolling and tumbling about the floor, you will occasionally see spirited passages of arms between then. They will "lead," 'counter'' ''block," duck" and rush, "side step" and, In fact, do all things that your big brother does with his boxing instructor at the gymnasium. The kittens will do 1t a great deal better, too, for they are much quicker and more grace full. It may seem odd at first for boy or girl to box with a cat, but it is great deal of fun, and when the cat understands it she will enjoy it quite as much as you will

Prof. Isaac W. Durham, of Schenectady, for many years one of the leaders In educa- tional work in the Eastern States, relates a story of one of his former scholars which shows how a teacher may influence the whole life of his pupils.
 Some years ago the Professor had occasion to visit one of his former pupils, Mir George Cleveland, a prominent member of great firm of manIfacturers. MT. Cleveland was delighted to see his old preceptor, although the conversation lasted but a few minutes. Upon his return home Prof. Durham found awaiting him an immense box, filled with the many products with which the firm supplied the whole country. The Professor could not Imagine why the box had been

''When you were supervising my educa- tion," replied MT. Cleveland, "an incident occurred which changed my whole nature. One day I was sitting at my desk, at the Schenectady Institute, looking out of the window. You chanced to pass at that time and rapped my shoulder smartly with your ruler. jumped, of course, and said: Why, Professor!
