Edward Whitlock, aged 73 years, shot
and killed himself In the cellar of his

melanchola, due to inactivity the past

always lived busy life, working hard
and steadily, until about year ago,
whom he retired. After the novelty Of
his new life of ease had worn of he be-
came frstful and restless.

A little boy stood In front of the
brook trout exhibit at the aquarium
recently peering intently at the spec
killed beauties, relates writer in the
New York Tribune. He turned to
the fish expert who stood near him
and said: 1T seems pity to keep the
beautiful fish in these tanks. They
would have so much more fun in a
brook"
"They are much safer here" said
the wise man, especially these brook
trout. Do you know that not more
than one in every thousand of the
brook trout created lives to be more
than mere baby? Why, the little
trout no sooner takes his first peep out
from the gravel where he has been
gaining strength for the battle of life
than all sorts of monsters attack him.
Frogs, weasels, chubs, lizards, water
snakes, herrings and minnows go for
the little fellow, and when he has es-
capped these he has the larger trout to
fight or run away from. To escape all
these he has to remain in shallow wa
ter near the banks for long time, and
when the little beauty has learned all
the tricks to save his life and has be-
come the one in a thousand to escape
the baby dangers the fisherman comes
along and tempts him with a fly and
gets him. Now, isn't the trout In the
glass case better Off"
The boy thought he was.

PetrOleum For Cleaning.

Attention has been drawn recently to
the cleansing effect of petroleum on
soiled clothes. The best way to em-
ploy it is to fill an average boiler, say
of fourteen gallons, with water, adding
half pound of soft soap, and when all
is boiling thoroughly pour in one and Il
half tablespoonfuls of petroleum. Then
put in the clothes and boil them for
half an hour before lifting them out.
and rinse them in several waters. A
little more soap, water and paraffin
should he added to make up for loss as
successive lots Of the clothes are boiled.

A Paper Spearing Contest.

Tear or cut clean scrap paper into
inch squares and pile them on a paste
board box lid. There should be several
handfuls, enough to make a good sized
heap.
Place the box lid in the center of the
table at which the game Is to be played
and give each player a pin. The fun
consists in seeing who, in the fifteen
minutes allotted to the game, can spear
the most pieces with his pin.
BY the rules of the game only one
piece of paper may be taken on the
pin at one time. If two are captured
by mistake, both must be returned.
A small prize may be given to the
boy or girl having the most squares
when the game Is at an end.

Machinery Can Do No Wrong.


The machine by which railway tick
cts are printed gives very amusing
little show of intelligence, or what
looks to be very like it. Railway tick
cts are not, as might be supposed
printed in large sheets and afterward
cut up.
The cardboard is cut into tickets first
and printed one by one afterward. The
little blank cards are put in a pile in a
kind of perpendicular spout, and the
machine slips a bit of metal under
meath the bottom of the spout and
pushes out the lowest ticket in the pile
to be printed and consecutively num-
bered.
"It is no use trying to print bad
ticket" says the attendant. "The ma
chine finds out an imperfect blank In
an instant and fatty refuses to have
anything to do with it. Look here.
He tears off the corner of one of the
bits of card and puts it into the spout
with the others, and you watch to see
what happens.
One by one the blank cards are
pushed out to the printing part of the
mechanism with swiftness and preci-
sion until the mutilated ticket gets to
the bottom and tries to smuggle
through.
On the instant the machine stops
dead and refuses to bulge again until
somebody comes and removes the i'm
postor.
Pull out the damaged ticket, and the
mechanism will set briskly to work
again.-Chambers Journal.

If the bread box is empty and the
new bread still in the sponge, one can
have delicious little hot cakes for
breakfast in Il short time and with very
little labor. Form bits of the sponge
into tiny round biscuit and drop into
puff up to twice their original size and
are soon cooked. Drain on crumplcd
brown paper and serve with butter,
like hot biscuit, or with maple sirup or
honey. like pancakes. These dough
cakes are so light they are not ruinous

FOR THE CHILDREN
vnIor without a Parallel.


Perhaps the most remarkable exhibit
ton of valor which history recounts
occurs as follows, briefly told: Two i'm
mense armies were once lined up oppo-
site each other, and battle seemed
imminent But it so happened that one
host had among its numbers a warrior
Of gigantic size and enormous strength
and, well knowing that 1t would be diff
ficult indeed to find his match taunt-
ingly offered to send him out and let
him fight single handed with any one
the opposing force chose to send
against him, the terms being that all
should abide by the result of the COM
bat.
No one could be found to go out
against him, clad In his heavy armor
and terrible to look upon with his huge
spear and sword, until at last a mere
boy arrived In camp and desired per-
mission to go and meet him. At first
his request elected nothing but ridi-
cule, and he was told to return home,
but so persistent was he that he at
length gained permission to make the
attempt and went out to fight the giant.
The reader we'll knows the rest-how
that David, for 1t was he, advanced to
meet Goliath with nothing but sling
IN his hands and as the huge fellow ad-
vanced upon him, confident Of success
over such diminutive enemy, hit him
in the forehead with smooth stone
from the brook and cut off his head
with his own sword, at sight Of which
the enemy fled in dismay.
