In the Philadelphia Zoo there are
Ave little mongooses. which attract
much attention because of their pecu.
liar habits. A few years ago a large
number OF these creatures were
brought over from India to some OF
tho West Indies TO destroy the rats,
which were very numerous on the
islands, They did the work expected
OF them, but also a great deal more.
They soon left some OF the isles en-

When boy George Washington
compiled a book OF rules on behavior.
The following are some OF them.
Every action in company ought to
be with some sign OF respect to those
present.
BE no ilatterer. neither play with
anyone that delights not to be played
with.
Let your discourse with men OF
business be short and comprehensive.
Undertake not TO teach your equal
In the art himself processes; It sayors
OF arrogancy.
When you speak OF God or his attri-
butes let 1t be seriously. In reverence.
Honor and obey your natural parents,
though they be poor.
Undertake not what you cannot per-
form, but be careful 10 keep your
promise.
When a man does all he can, though
II succeeds not well. blame not him
that did Il.
Associate yourselves with men OF
good quality, II you esteem your own
reputation, for II is better to be alone
than in bad company.

Tho life OF Gen. Grant should be
read by every boy OF the rising genera
ton. SO many opportunities present
cd themselves for him TO decide quick
ly between right and wrong. and be
never hcsltnted 10 choose the right.
One instance was at the time he was
a visitor at the French capital
The president OF the republic as a
special token OF respect. invited Gen.
Grant 10 a place on the grand stand TO
witness the great racing which oc-
ours In that country on Sunday. II Is
considered a discourtoous act TO de-
cline such an invitation from the head
Official OF the republic Such a thing
had never been heard Of but Gen.
Grant In a polite note, declined the
honor and said to the French presl-
dent: 1T Is not In accordance with
the custom OF my country or with the
spirit Of my religion to spend sunday
In that way" And when Sabbath
came that great hero found his way
TO the American chapel. where he was
one OF its quiet worshipors.

Popular journals every now and
again recount that wheat found in
mummy cases has been planted. germi.

Egyptian origin are known as mummy
wheats. The legend will probably live,
but II has no verlhable basis. NJ. Il.
Gain has recently tried extensive ex.
perlments with wheat taken from
Egyptian tombs and finds that no ce.
reals there found will reproduce their
kind. The embryos OF such grains are
completely dead, although the reserve
material Is perfectly flt TO nourlsh
them were they alive.

Thomas a. Edison Jr. has made
some brilliant inventions OF his own
the latest OF which promises to be one
of the most important OF the decade.
but he calls It an accidental discovery.
With the cooperation OF his uncle.
William Holzer, Thomas Edison. Jr.,
has invented a cheap process for
toughening steel. iron and copper. The
process is so simple that ton o;
steel. the inventor says. can be treated
at a cost Of only about 81. II is said
that the whole body OF metal is thus
toughened and made homogeneous.
and II is claimed the process is SUI
perior to the Krupp. Harvey. or any
known process. Expensive tests are
now being made by the British govern
ment with view OF adopting the new
process for armor plate. a company
OF which Thomas A. Edison. Jr.. Ia
president, has been Incorporated with
a capital Of 100000. The stock is
being placed on the market by Mr..
John A. Thompson. the well known
banker Of 80 Wall street. who is secre-
tary and treasurer OF the company.

The greatest men are masters OF the
minutest details. II is those who ac-
eomplished little in life who never have
time for this or that or 1--WE minutes
they can spare to do kind or thought
full act. Abraham Lincoln was one OF
the great ones. and Just listen TO what
he had time to think about amidst the
troublous times in '6l.
During the campaign Of 1860. while
Abraham Lincoln was in Springfield.
ILL.,. youngster named George Patten
was introduced to him and shook him
by the hand. Proud OF his distinction.
George lost no chance OF parading the
AFFAIR before his schoolmates. and for
a time was looked upon as n most
important parsonage. But gradually
his prestige faded. and several OF
Georges older companions openly
poohpoohed the story. This stigma
well-nigh broke his ooylsh heart. but
he was resourceful and resolved to OBJ
tain clear proof OF his meeting with
the great man. SO he wrote letter
TO Washington, keeping silent the
while, and in course OF month re-
ply came which read:

in handling the materials and the wis
dom OF employing the best safety de-
vices TO prevent accidental discharge
and to extlnguish the resulting flames
in case the explosion does take place.
A large percentage OF the damage from
such accidents results from the spread
of the flames instantly after the con-
cussion, and when no one is prepared
TO combat them and they easily take
hold OF the spllntered woodwork. The
special object OF the invention shown
in the drawing is TO surround each
individual cartridge with a fire ex-
tinguishing agent, adapted to smother
the flame arising from the explosive.

II was in the swamp that Mr.. Nichols

Sitting, or squatting In the PROV Oh

The strokes OF the paddle were noise

Nichols looked at the guide start
