ton Of the works Of Dickens. The set
Is in thirty volumes and literally H.

marked, corrected, noted and otherwise
marred. but they were collected and

to the collector Of original books. He

Lord southey's GuiiIotine.

The most eccentric action Of an eccen-
trio man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means Of a
guillotine. He had a magnificent one
erected in the drawing room of his
house In the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was Of ebony In
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife. sharp as razor, was Of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed In a robe of white
silk. he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work, and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to museum In
stead Of making second attempt TO
end his life. 1t is said that be made
an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo-
tine until the end of his life.

The Small Boy on the Farm.

The following has been going the
rounds of papers that are inclined to
see the ridiculous things in life. The
authors name has been lost in the
chase, and thus some one, perhaps ito
sortune and to fame unknown, is los
ing opportunity for celebrity.
Il remember, / remember, the
house where / was born, and how l
rose at 3 a. M. to cultivate the corn,
and milk the COWS and chase the ducks
and grease up all the rigs, and take the
stock to water and come back and slop
the pigs, and run on errands back and
forth, take water to tile men. and then,
as fast as / could 60, go trotting back
again and throw down hay and fodder
and go out and hunt for eggs, until
I'd nearly broke my neck and worn
out both my legs. Oh, life was such a
jolly time, one everlasting josh, when
/ brought water from the spring to do
the weekly wash, and then wallered in
the garden, wedding of the rows, and
then went trotting to the house to help
ma wiring the clothes. An then mad
pat me on the back and say in dulcet
tones, Now, son, take this pudding
down the road to Mrs. Jones, and then
come trotting back again. I'm going
to let you churp." And that's the kind
of fun had; 1 just had fun to burn
Oh, I'd chase fun to frazzel, and then
when I'd turn in, I'd think with Joy
how the next day I'd run it down
again
We suspect the s.thor d that is a
lazy man and never responded to the
paternal call at a. m. to cultivate
the corn.
There is no disputing the fact that
the farmers boy has the opportunity
to practice industry to an extent not
equalled by his town cousin, but while
he is doing that he is often fixing the
habits that build his character and
make of him one of those from whom
the great men in business, in profess
sional life and in politics are constantly
supplied.

We occasionally hear speakers and
observe writers urging boys to be more
ambitious, and that they have it in
their power to fix their station in life
either at the foot or at the head of the
procession, that they may dig in trench
es always or they may be governors or
presidents or millionaires il they choose,
that it is ambition that decides these
things. We wish to call the respect
full attention of these speakers and
writers to few things that are often
overlooked. We admit ambition is a
big main spring OF action. 1t causes
many a boy to get up and stretch him
self and discover what he is made OF
and what he can do, but ambition is
only one thing. There is sometimes
misdirected ambition. There is some
times ambition to do or be something
that one is not fitted for by nature.
Then there is ambition sometimes
without good character and without
honest motives. II ambition is coupled
with and supplemented by ability,
judgement, industry and honesty, then
it is glorious thing and will lead one
to success. Ifit have not these thing,

its judlclous application. In a great

the reason for It, he said. "Why, was

ludicrous remark set the crew laugh

Many Of the negro superstitions in
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: IF you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had spat. an l went right out
an planted my peppahs, an they come
Tight up." Stlll another saying Is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by redheaded or by a high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees jaybird on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kin
ding" on that day. The three signs
in which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
I'd Of February. that hoe must not be
carried through house or a death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed in the dark of the moon as well as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground
and that corn must be planted In the
light Of the moon.

An Ant For q Pet.

One of the Queerest little pets ever
seen Is the tame ant belonging to well
KNOWN scientist. This man keeps tribes
OF ants In nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one OF the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, and he Offer
ed 1t some honey on the point Of a
needle says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with its an
tennG. until 1t reached the needle.
Soon 1t learned to take the honey of
Its keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid Of living things,
and a new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant Is now so tame that it quits
the bulb as soon as the cork Is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entlst's finger. When its meal Is over,
It does not try to hurry away, but
waits till its master lifts 1t on bristle
and carries it back TO its nest.

A Rattlesnske story.

In life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace A. Vachell relates one
of his narrow escapes from a friend's
bullet: my cousin and had been
camping and hunting for several days
In sort Of paradise valley. One day,
during a long ride on horseback, we
had seen a great many rattlesnakcs
and killed q few, an exceptional ex-
perience. That night my cousin woke
up and saw. by the light Of the moon, a
big RATHER crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor.
ror struck, watching the sinuous curves
of the reptile.
'"Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter, but he could not see the rep
tiles head, and he moved nearer, noise
lessly, yet quickly. dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-.
cipltate the very thing he dreaded, and
then he saw that 1t was not a snake at
all-only the black and yellow stripe of
my blanket. which gently rose and fell
as breathed. Had he fired-well, II
might have been bad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"
