A DEPARTMENT FOR LITTLE
BOYS AND GIRLS
Something that will Interest the Ju-

Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings
ofMany Cute and Cunning Children.

Rough-house is the expression used
by the boy of to-day when he is describ-
ing n general scuffie, and he always
smacks his lips over the word. But
rough-house has its disadvantages, as
many sprains and bruises can testify,
and If the same amount Of fun may be
had from some less trying amusement,
an amusement, say, which is quite as
energetic and quite as exciting, the boy
of today will certainly adopt 1t In pref
erence to rough-house.
A terrier fight Is exciting, and 1t Is
funny-it is also energetic-and victory
depends quite as much upon the skill
of the fighter as upon his strength.
Furthermore, terrier fight Is not bru-
tai. No boy will hurt himself while en-
gagged in this sport. AS shown in the
illustration, two boys are placed facing
each other In the center of a room;

Each contestant endeavors to push the
other over; but as 1t requires consider
able attention to keep your balance at
all when in this position, the attack Is
no easy matter.
To suddenly give way Is maneuver
almost sure to upset your adversary,
but unfortunately it is very apt to up
set you at the same time, and only after
considerable practice will you be able
to overcome a man In this way. The
pivot sudden swing to the right or
left, Is safer, though not quite as eff
fective. Always remember that the
best terrier fighter invariably makes his
opponent throw himself. Give way at
some unexpected point, and unless he Is
a skillful man he is sure to so over.
Never try a hard push except in the
last extremity, when everything else
has failed.
A terrier fight consists Of three one
minute rounds, with thirty seconds rest
between each round. The one scoring
the largest number of falls during the
time set is accounted the winner.-Chi-

PECULIAR KIND OF EARTH.
Properties 1t Possesses that Are Little

Properties 1t Possesses that Are Little
Understood by People.
1t Is safe to ~ that the majority of
people never even heard of the peculiar
kind of earth called loess, yet it is a
most interesting formation and is found
in Europe, the United States and China.
In China it Is held responsible for the
vagaries of the Yellow River, which
changes its bed whenever it feels so
disposed. William Startling says of this
peculiar earth:
"Loess, wherever found, Is yellow
ish, brownish or grayish earth which is
so soft and friable that it is easily re-
duced to powder between the fingers,
and yet of so firm consistency that
when undermined by currents of water
or other disturbing influences it will
stand in perpendicular walls several
hundred feet high. The particles COM
posing the earth have been, by some
process. reduced to such a minute state
of division that it Is asserted that they
can be rubbed into the pores of the skin
and disappear without leaving any con-
siderable residue. In China roads are
soon worn into this material, the walls
on either side still retaining their per-
pendicular till in the course of years
there is formed sunken road perhaps
seventy or eighty feet beneath the level
of the plateau. Often there are sue
cessive cuts which are transformed into
terraces, and houses or villages built
upon them after the manner of cliff
dwellings. Indeed. chambers are fire.
quently excayated deep into the walls,
and even whole suites of rooms. In
fact, as Richthofen says, the dwellings
vary from simple caves to veritable
loess palaces.
"Similar things occur in the loess dis
tricts of the United States. Near
Natchez. in Mississippi, and no doubt
at plenty of other places where the loess
formation prevails, sunken roads may
be seen twenty feet or more in depth,
with vertical sides. During the siege
of vicksburg the people dug themselves
bomb proof shelters in the loess. In
Nebraska and Kansas dugouts in the
same kind of soil are not or We're not
uncommon. In America and In Europe
it's utmost thickness is 100 or 200 feet.
but in China 1t has development OF
ten times that much"

This year the corps OF expert gardeh-

At a gathering of old folks in the
town of Claremont, Mass, the other
day, the chairman called upon all pres

age to arise, and seventy-two respond

twelve who had passed that limit. A
similar call for all over the age of

The father of all trees, so far as age
