Don't Be a Knooksr.

the following printed on the reverse
side of It's business cards:
IF there is any chance to boom busi-
ness, boom 1t. Don't be knocker.
Don t pull long face and get sour in

Get hold with both hands. Then

tomahawk. Hide-your little hammer.
When stranger drops in tell him this
is the greatest town on earth. 1t is.
Don't get mulish. Don't roast. Be
jolly. Get popular. It's dead easy
Help your self along. Push your
friends with you. Soon you will have

mo man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down. No man
ever got rich trying to make people
believe he was the only good on earth.
You can't clim b the ladder OF fame by
stepping on other peoples corns.
They're their corns. Not yours. And
they re tender. Keep off the corns.
"All men are not alike. Once In a

The Education of tho Parrot.

To teach a parrot to talk 1t is never
Necessary to place the poor bird In
larkened room or to starve him. Com.
mon sense would suggest that he
should be made as happy as possible
in his surroundings Give him good
food-hemp, maize, oats, biscuit. As
q slice Of fruit is always beneficial, a
bit of apple, Of pear, of banana or of
carrot will do very well. Also see that
your pet has pure drinking water,
large cage, some soft wood to gnaw.
with plenty Of coarse grit on the floor
Of the cage, for he needs the small
stones to aid his digestion. A parrot in
these comfortable circumstances may
then be left alone in a room while his
teacher conceals himself in another.
The teacher, who should be heard, but
not seen, should repeat. with infinite
patience, over and over again the word
or words he wishes his pet to learn.
The female parrots do not talk-the fe-
male of the song birds, it should be re-
membered, is not a singer-so that ef-.
forts Of education IN that line are quite
thrown away.-Our Animal Friends.

The Checkrein.

The overcheck bears about the same
relation to the horse as the county jail
does to human society. In case Of the
trotting horse 1t seems that some de-
vice must be used in order to compel
a horse to carry its head out almost in
a line with its neck, so that the curv-
ature Of the latter at the throttle will
not cramp the windpipe or shut off
the horses wind. In case of the run
ming horse it naturally extends the
head and neck without artificial aid.
This is because the gallop is the horses
natural gate, while the trot is artificial
when it comes TO extreme speed
Hence the overcheck is needed. In the
utility horses the checkrein Is never
needed.-Field and Farm.

Lack Of Clothing In Uganda.

A lack of clothing was and probably
still IS the most salient characteristic
Of the Wa-Kavirondo. 'I am afraid
you will find them very nakedr' said
missionary to me on the borders of
their country, and so we-did; nothing
could have been nakeder. From their
walled villages they issued in swarms
and crowded round the tents to gaze
upon US, monsieur, madame and bebe,
without rag to their names nor
clout between them, unless indeed g
bead necklace or hippopotamus tooth
stuck behind the ear could be account
ed clothing. An airy, buoyant folk,
verify. and to missionary eyes a sad
contrast to the semicivilized Waganda,
with their greasy draperies Of bark
cloth.-Cornhill.

RICE WATER NUTRITIOUS.
Curious Way Some British omcers
Discovered This Fact.

Discovered This Fact.
1t Is probable that few occidental
cooks who prepare rice in various
forms for diet are aware that in dis
carding the water in which It is boiled
they are wasting what is regarded by
the oriental as the most nutritious part
of the food. This fact was curiously
proved some years since when a de-
tachment of Europeans and native
troops in India found themselves be-
leaguered IN fort with insufficient ra-
tions, even of rice. to enable them to
hold out until a force could march to
their relief
It was when the officers were seri
ously debating this problem that the
natives approached them with what
was regarded as curious solution Of
the difficulty. If, proposed the latter,
the Europeans took all the rice, they,
the natives. would be quite content
with the water in which 1t was boiled.
The suggestion. in place Of any better,
was adopted, when IL, was remarked
that while the Europeans found it diff
r0tions of rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks diet on
the water. When the proposal was
made. the action of the natives was
praised as one of great devotion to
their superiors, but the sentiment was
somewhat Modified when the discov-
cry was made that the natives were
quite aware that the principal nourish-
ment lay in the water.
Since that time Europeans in the orr
ent, following the custom of the ma
tives, have given rice water to pa
tients, particularly in cases of cholera,
as last resort when no other food can
be retained in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water so highly that it
Is never thrown away.
In fact, 1t would surprise many cooks
TO discover how much may be done
with this apparently worthless stock.
If the rice is cooked in the oriental
fashion-that is, boiled only so long
that each grain comes out of the pan
separate and not as a sodden mass
the water when strained off and per-
mitted TO cool will become Jelly ap-
preaching the consistency Of blanc
mango. To suit the occidental palate
the water should be favored with an
extract or otherwise the jelly may
have rather an insipid taste.

The Greenland shark.

The Greenland shark is we'll known
us foe to whalers. II will follow a
dead whale to the ship and show no
fear of the men while they are enga ged
in cutting up the prey, biting cut Jumps
from it as big as mans head. Some
times it happens that man will fall
OF the slippery side of the whale close
by the shark, but the latter never at,
tackg him, being intent upon gorgtng
itself with the flesh Of the cetacean.
The most severe wounds from thrusts
Of the whalers' knives will not per-
suade it to desist. This species Of shark
is often partly or wholly blinded by
parasitic worm three inches long which
fastens itself at the corner of the eye
and lives on its fluids.

How Russian Peasant. Live.

Most of the Russian peasants pass
great deal of their lives in workshops,
where they work, eat and sleep, the
same room sheltering a number and
probably a pig in the bargain. There
are few beds Instead, all around the
four walls of the room is fixed what
may be literally described as a bench.
It is made of wood, and at this works
the peasant by day, and on it he sleeps
by night, each man at his own spot
The conditions Of the Russian work
shop or factory and the Russian prison
and military barracks, so far as in
terror arrangements are concerned, are
akin. Chairs there will also be and a
table, rudely fashioned, as a rule. by
the men thsmselves.-Saturday Re-

sbeep In v,rted Clothins,

One of the results of the investiga-
ton of a special committee Of the So
ciety of Arts into the question of book
binding goes TO show that sheepskip
is often used by bookbinders under
very different names. They found
books bound nominally in Levant mo-
rocco hard grain morocco, straight
grain morocco, pigskin, calfskin, croco-
ollie and alligator feathers, all Of which
on close microscopic examination were
found 10 be the ordinary common
sheepskiu on which had been stamped
the special grains and markings of the
skins they were got up to initiate. The
committee, however were satisfied
that in many cases both the book
binders and the librarians had bought
these feathers under the impression
that they were buying the genuine az

was Monday. and the fireworks, which

the sky, a northwest wind followed,
the thermometer went down to 81 de-

England. the service being conducted
by rather eccentric vicar. Two days
after the ceremony he called at the
house Of the bridegroom's mother, but
she happened to be out, SO he said he
would call again, which he did later on
in the day, carrying two large green
bags under his arm.
This time he found her in. So he be-
gan by asking them to clear the table
little, Then he opened the green
bags, from which he took the registers.
These he opened and in most solemn
