Seif-Sacriacin kangaroo.

Mrs. Kangaroo has q big pocket, In
which she carries her young ones. II
is the contest kind of a place for a lit
tie kangaroo. and sometimes you will
find a whole family of brothers and
sisters in the pouch at once '
However. this is not the only way
Mrs. Kangaroo has of carrying her
children. When hunters pursue her
she puts all her babies into her pocket
and runs for dear life, but II she feels
that the enemy is gaining on her. and
that she is in danger Of being captured,
she seizes one little one after another
with her forepaws and hurls 1t out OF
the pocket to one side Of her pathway
as far as she can throw it. She takes
care to do this only at times when the
enemy is not in sight. In this way shy
is relieved Of the weight Of the young
sters, and she can run faster. =
At the same time her motive is not
a selfish one. She throws her babies
out in so skillful a manner that 1t does
not hurt them. They are soft little
creatures, and when they land in a
brush heap they are none the worse
for It. The hunter loses all scent of
the little kangaroOs by this movement
on the part Of the mother, and, at the
most, the pursuing party can capture
only self-sacriticing Mrs. Kangaroo.

what u boy should Know.

People differ as to how much a col
| iegiate education helps a young man
In n business career, some contending
others that he can get along without
IL. AS q matter of fact, 1t depends
On the young man himself, for while
4 collegiate education can hardly be
, called IL hindrance. it might, in some
cases, give a young fellow a foolish
pride that would make him hold him
self above the so-callcd drudgery of a
business life.
A very successful man, in speaking
Of what n young man should know to
begin a business life in the right way,
summarized the qualifications about as
follows:
He should be able to write a good,
legible hand.
To spell all the words that he knows
how to use.
To speak and write good English.
To write "A good social or business
letter.
To add a column OF figures rapidly,
To make out an ordinary account.
To deduct 1917 per cent from the
face of the account.
To receipt an account when it is
paid.
To write an ordinary receipt.
To write an advertisement for the
newspaper.
To write an ordinary promissory
note.
To reckon the interest. or the dis
count, on the note for years, months
or days.
To draw mp ar ordinary bank check
To take it to the right place in the
bank to get the money.
TO make neat and correct entries ir

To tell the number of yards OF car.
pet required for the parlor.
To tell something about the great

"Don Onisote" EyegIass.

IL you look at a candle fame through
a piece of very fine silk gauze stretched
over a frame Of cardboard the flame
will appear drawn out in four direc-
tions, at right angles to each other,
forming a luminous cross, the arms q
which are frlnged with rainbow colors.
This is an example of what physicists
call diffraction. and Is of the same
nature as the colorcd halos seen
around lights in a fog.
Now, this little experiment may be
made very amusing by CONSTRUCTING
of stout paper n windmill, or the ia
cade OF one, with a small hole where
the arms should cross, and placing
within or behind IL a lighted candle.
with the flame just behind the hole.
Then darken the room and call in
your friends to admire your windmill.

light.
If any one asks where the arms are.

Game for "Shut-InA"

Shut-ins or others will find no little
amusement in the game OF Passing
People" The players-one or more on
a side-sit in a front window looking
out on the sidewalk at n time when
quite a few people should be passing
by. The passing people are sort of
animated playing cards. All persons,
going in one direction count for one
side: those going in the opposite di-
rection count for the opponents. The
winning score is so points.
A boy or girl cunts two points. A
man or woman counts one each. A
lame person adds five to the score, a
fat man counts Is, and a red-haired
girl is good for 20 points. A short man
with a taller woman going by together
is game.
Every oog passing by takes one from
the score: so that a man or woman
with a dog counts nothing.
A passing policeman gives you minu.
five. A man wearing a silk hat counts
three. \ nursemaid with child counts
five. Three men or three women pass.
ing by together count minus three.

Mr.. Francis Tabor, who Is director

anecdotes on hand, many OF which arc
actual experiences in his daily life. The
boys will enjoy this amusing expert
ence.
One night at his club "A young man
lounged in with his hands in his pOck-
cts and an ugly look on his face. He
happened into the checker room, and
sat down.
They began a game and the visitor
failed to get a king. Within an hour
he was beaten ten games. IL went on
this way for three nights without the
stranger winning a single game. Final

Gheel Is a town about thirty miles

distance from the German frontier.
1t is unique, for there is no other
town In the world which can number

The colonel saluted and left The tent.
Col. Inman remembered that the
next morning the detail charged with
the duty OF hanging the spy went to
the tent. and when the sentry entered
II was found that there was nobody
inside.
About ten years afterward Col. ln-
man was in San Francisco on business
connected with his profession. While
there he CHANGED to meet a Mr.. Hamil-
ton. with whom he became well ac-
quainted. Hamilton one day men
toned that he was in the Confederate
army and the relation OF war expert
ences began. 1t came out that the Mr..
Hamilton was the Capt. Hamilton
whom Col. Hamilton had been ordered
To hang. There were questions from
Col. Inman. OF course. and the story OF
the escape of the young soldier was
brought out.

stubby whlskcrs. wearing a blue uni
form without any insignia OF rank on
his shoulders n black SLOUGH hat
pulled down over his eyes. lie recog-
nizcd Gen. Grant.
The story does not go into details as
to the conversation which ensued. The
result was that the condemned spy,
after there has been eXacted a promise
that he would never again assume the
part which had so nearly cost him his
life. was given the counterslgn which
would enable him to pass the sentries.
Then the man In the SLOUGH hat went
away.
And the man who was to have
hanged him at sunrise did the same
thing. and before the SUI was set was
