WANTED JOB AS BOSS.
True story of m Earnest hoy Who
Is Sure to Make Success
of Himself.

A bright, persevering lad on the
search for work is not to be discour-
aged by repeated failures. He will
keep on trying, and will be valuable
in any position in proportion to the
perseverance and ingenuity he has
shown in obtaining it. An illustra-
ton of this appears in the experience
of boy of IA, who applied unsuc-
cessfully at quite number of places
finally went into shipping house,
and catching the eye of the propri-
etor, made bold to accost him as fol-
lows:
''Do you want a boss. mister?"
'What!" exclaimed the proprietor,
surprised out of his self-control.
"Well, sir, I've been looking for
something to do for three weeks
now, and nobody wants boy, so to-
day thought I'd see if somebody
didn't want a boss. I'd like to be a
boss"
"Well, we'll! That's not bad. Are
you willing to work up to the job?
1t took me 25 years to get it,"
"'Deed l am, sir, if you'll only give
me the chance"
To-day an earnest boy in jumper
and overalls is struggling with
bundles and packing cases in the
shipping-room of the concern. He
intends to be boss of the establish
ment before his side whiskers, which
have not yet started, are as gray as
those of the present incumbent.
And the chances, with his energy
and will, are in his favor.-King's
Own.

A FuLL-GRowN GIRAFFE.

tempts to pick up food from the
ground. Its color is usually light
fawn marked with darker spots, and
passes into white on the under parts
and some portions of the limbs. The
legs are long and slender, and the feet
have cloven hoofs. 1t is not easily
overtaken by fleet horse, and has
great advantage over horse on un-
even ground. The pace of this peculiar
animal is described as an amble, as the
legs of the same side move at the same
time.
The giraffe is not fierce like the lion
and tiger, and when captured becomes
very gentle and playful. In habits it
is much like the deer, of which you
children may have seen great many.
Its eyes are very large and lustrous,
and are so placed that the animal can
look all around without turning its
head; so that in it's wild state it is
not easily approached. A great many
geological gardens have the giraffe
among their collections of wild ami
mails. They are fed chiefly upon hay
placed in high racks. They greatly en-
joy carrots and onions, and lump of
sugar is a favorite tid-bit for them.
The flesh of the giraffe is said to be
very pleasant to the taste, and its
marrow is considered reat,delicacy
by the natives of Africa.-Welcome.

A FUNNY INSTRUMENT.
IL Is Called the TubophOne and Is
Made Entirely of Pnstebonrd
Wrapping Rolls.

The tubophone is a musical instru-
ment very much like an exylophone.
The latter, as you know, consists OF
n number of bars of wood or metal
of different sizes, each of which gives
its own peculiar note when it is
struck.
The tubophone is easier to con-
struct. All you need to make one is
a number of stiff pasteboard tubes
each as are used for mailing some il
lustrated periodicals. If you cannot
buy the tubes at the stationer's it is
an easy matter to make them by
bending wet pasteboard about
round stick and gluing it together.
You will want at least eight tubes.
The diameter of all should be the
same and the lengths should be is,
16, 142s, 13h, II, 1o24, 91a and .
inches. Having cut the tubes to
these lengths you will find, on hold
ing them in turn lightly by the mid
die and striking them with your fin
ger that the shortest tube gives
hollow sound which is just an octave
higher than the sound given by the
longest tube and that the others give
the intermediate notes of the major
scale That is if you call the longest
tube c (though it may not be in tune
with c on your piano. the others will
be ID, f, F, G, A, B, and c the octave
of C. Or you may call them do, re,
mi, ia, sol, la, 81 and mark them
either with these names or the let
ters. Lay the tubes in order on the
table and fasten them together with
two cords (of silk, if possible), in the
following manner:
Tie one end of each cord together,
put the longest tube between the
cords close to the knot and tie the
cords together again on the other
side of the tube. Then make another
knot half inch further along the
cords before you tie in the second
tube. The idea is to have two knots

The Iron Dukes Parrot.

An old lady, soon after the battle
of Waterloo, determined to show her
grateful admiration of the duke of
Wellington by the gift of a parrot,
which she took with her into the
dukes presence. His grace declined
the gift with polite thanks. The old
lady begged him to hear the bird
speak once. She took the baize off
the cage and said: "Polly, this is the
duke of Wellington" "See the CON
quering hero comes!" cried the par
rot, tapping his wings. This was too
much for the duke, who heard the pet
sing the national anthem, and accept
ed the gift. He afterwards kept the
bird in his own room, and it won quite
a reputation among its new friends

said Twenty-fourth New York man,

all through being outwitted by a
woman. After our battles in Virginia
under Pope we had retreated as far
as Warrenton, when | undertook to
discover the enemy. l came upon a
large brick mansion and brick barn.
L moved on the latter and found an
old negro guarding Extra Billy
Smiths horses, carriages and other
property. L knew enough about EX-
TIA Silly to put myself on friendly
terms with the old negro and in ten
minutes he was confidiug with me.
Among other things, he asked my
advice as to how to proceed to save
the valuables in his masters house.
L gave him directions how to bury
them, and in this l had no ulterior
motives. But in the course of the
conversation L asked in casual way,
about the poultry. The negro said
the chickens roasted in large tree
in the garden in the rear of the
house. Taking advantage of the
coming darkness, l reconnoitered in
that direction, making circuit to
locate the tree. L found Mrs. Extra
Billy Smith standing under the tree
and servant in the tree catching
the fowls.

and down climbed the negro girl and
they returned to the house. | made
up my mind to capture that chicken,
and finding an opening in the hedge,
got inside the garden, climbed the
tree and located the rooster.
"Just as l reached out for him,
however, he flew and landed at the

and a little cord between each two
tubes to keep them well apart. This
is for the middle cord or cords. For
knot between each two tubes will
suffice. In the same way fasten two
wooden rods, which are to serve as
handles, to the longest and shortest
tubes or better tie the rods in at
once when you put the tubes to-
gether, Now your tubophone is COM
plete. For hammer nothing can be
better than a cork stick on the end
of knitting needle or a light rod.
The instrument may be held with one
hand and played with the other, but
1t is better to fasten the end rods to
the backs of two chairs so that the
whole apparatus is horizontal and
you can play with both hands if you
please.
The sound made by a paper tube
does not seem very musical, but a
tune played rapidly on "A number of
tubes has very good effect. The
eight tube instrument will do for a
number of simple tunes, but you can
increase it's range by adding few
tubes at each end. The shortest of
the eight tubes is half as long as
the longest and gives the octave of
the note of the Longest. So the next
noted, the octave ~ d, requires n
tube eight inches long (half the
length of the next to the longest)
The next would be Z 3-16, the next
6% and so on.
To extend the series at the other
end we need tubes of 10, 21h inches

InstructIng the Jury.

"After the war;" said Senator Bacon,
"there was a great shortage of judges
in the south. In Georgia many men
were put on the bench who had no
training in the law. At circuit court
one of these judges presided, and the
two lawyers who were trying a case
before him thought to have some fun
with him. After the evidence had been
taken one of the lawyers arose and
said: "Your honor, both sides are
willing to let the case go to the jury
without argument and on statement
of the law and the facts by YOURSELF
The judge rose slowly and faced the
jury. 'entlemen,' he said, you have
heard the evidence and what these
lawyers have said. If you believe what
the lawyer for the defendant says you
must decide for him. If you believe
what the lawyer for the plaintiff has
said, you must decide for him. But if
you are like me and don't believe what
either one of them has said, | am
hanged if know what you should do"
