Instance of His NIodesty,

An instance of Washingtons modesty
is cited in the story told of his attendance
upon session of the House of Burgesses
at Williamsburg.
Washington had been noted as n WIS.,
itor and 4 resolution was offered and
adopted thanking him for the distinguish
ed military services which he had rem
dered the country. In rendering these
thanks Speaker Robinson lent such
warmth and coloring to the effort as to
confound the young soldier.
r Finally Washington got upon his feet,
but he could not find his voice. Blushing
and stammering, he stood until the
Speaker relieved him of his position by
saying:
''Sit down, Mr.. Washington; your mod
esty only equals your yalor. and that sur
passes the power Of any language that

The surprising and growing demand by

tucts has placed the country. according
to some authorities. close to famine in

Where the competitive export trade
was sought year ago by the makers OF
iron and steel, the home trade to-day
makes demands they are not able 10
meet So far above the capacity OF the
home mills are these demands that fur
ther imports from Germany are under
consideration. The German manufactur-
crs have an opportunity now to get riI

Heavy Rainfall,

1t Is the greatest rainfall In the world
which pours down In torrents upon the
southern sides of the Khasia hills, in
Assam. No wonder that their southern
slopes are fertile. The rains begin In
June and last through August and Sep
tember. Isabel Savory writes of these
rains in "a Sportswoman In India"
AT Cherra Junji 523 inches Of rain
fall annually. The yearly rainfall In
London is about two feet. At Cherra
Junji 1t Is forty feet. or enough to float
the largest man-ofwar while In one
year slxty-seven feet of water once
fell from the sky.
When the rains set In. we had thun-
derstorms on large scale. We, In the
innocence of the uninitiated. began by
trying to time a peal of thunder, but
when 1t had lasted over half an hour
we gave 1t up. Storms were on all

tains for hours.

II the globe Is fairly large. One can
usually tell when the fish require fresh
water. They stand up on their tails,
with their mouths to the surface of the
water, and move slowly in that posi-
ton, generally making a bubbling
sound.
When you put the fresh water into
the globe. let 1t dash in from height.
so that plenty Of air gets in. too, and
let your fish have handful of shells or
small stones.
People frequently make the mistake
of thinking the fish get. enough food out
of the water. That is not SO; they need
feeding when in captivity. Packets Of
fish food, chiefly consisting of dried
ants eggs. can be procured from any
seed or naturallst's shop.
1t is said that goldfish should never
be handled. This is no doubt true II
