A STRANGE PET.
The children all write about their pets,
kittens, dogs and all the rest, but am 60
ing to tell about pet pig.
OF course, pigs are not very nice or pretty
but l am going to tell about one, just the
same. My papa bought some pigs one
summer, and among them was pet pig
1 used to take long stick and scratch his
back as he lay in the sun. and he would
squeal and grunt as if he liked 1t. When
he got older he stole spoon and ran away
with it. We had to run after him long
time before he would drop 1t. The spoon
had starch on it, and he wanted to eat the
starch We had to kill him because he
hung about the house and would not stay
with the rest of the pigs. Ny papa moved
to the city, so l never had any more pet
pigs ETHYL w.

TO- tbe nrain ana Nerves.

Science has demonstrated most con-
cIusiveIy that mental and nerve power
is dependent upon food containing
phosphorus.
1t is but natural that the same laws
which apply to the muscular system
should apply likewise to the brain. For
instance, wheat contains phosphorus
which it gets from the soil and In the
absence Of which it could not live.
Wheat is supposed to supply to the
human system the elements 1t gets
from the soil. Since the action Of the
mind is dependent on phosphorus,
wheat, fish, cheese, oatmeal and barley
can be regarded as brain foods.
1t is we'll known fact that the brain
contains phosphorus in proportion to
its power Of producing mental effort
and that this element must be supplied
in proportion to mental activity.
So 1t can be readily seen that ones
mental education begins in the dining
room as well as In the classroom

xa,,ve Australian Tree Climbers.

Native Australian Tree Climbers.
black never uses his knees when
climbing. If the tree is small In girth,
he sometimes uses a vine, passing II
around the tree and holding on to 1t as
he ascends. The most common way,
however, is to ascend by means of
notches cut into the tree or LARK about
one and a half inches deep and about
three feet apart. Having fixed upon
the side he intends ascending, the
climber cuts a notch with his toma-
hawk about the height Of his waist and
another on a level with his head, but a
little TO the right or left Of the lower
notch. as the case may be. These
notches are made by a few taps of the
Ratchet first horizontally and then
down at an agile of forty-five degrees.
Having cut the two lower ones, the
ascent is made by standing on the ball
of the foot, with the great toe In the
notch. while the climber cuts a fresh
notch level with his head, and so on
until the lower branches are gained.
Often the gum trees run eighty feet
from the ground up to the lowest lind
the trunk Of the tree being perfectly
smooth. These notches are cut with
great regularity, for, measured on a
fallen tree, the distance between them
seldom varies half an inch. In reas-
cending a tree fresh cuts are made for
avarv fresh ascant

A Clear Course.

The man who is calm has his course
in life clearly marked on his chart
His hand Is ever on the helm. Storm,
fog. night, tempest danger, hidden
reefs-he is ever prepared and ready
for them. He is made calm and serene
by the realization that IN these crises
Of his voyage he needs a clear mind
and a cool head; that he has naught to
do but to do each day the best he can
by the light he has; that he will never
finch or falter for a moment; that
though he may have to tack and leave
his course for a time, he will never
drift, he will get back into the true
channel, he will keep ever headed to-
ward his harbor. When he will reach
1t, how re will reach 1t, matters not TO
him. He rests in calmness, knowing
be has done his best.-William G. Jor-

AndnIusian Specter.

Upon a mountain in Andalusia quaint
spectral forms are frequently seen.
Whenever there is heavy mist and
persons are ascending the mountain
they appear in all their ghostly splen-
dor and sometimes so suddenly as to
strike dismay into the hearts Of those
who see them for the first time.
OF course Ii is all trick played by
the sun. When a mist partially shrouds
the mountain. the sun is naturally OBJ
scured, and then he revenges himself
by projecting the shadow of any per-
son who is ascending the mountain I'M
til it assumes the form Of gigantic
specter.
