Dickens School Pets,

When Charles Dickens was o hoy
at Wellington House Academy it was
the secret pride of the students there
that they owned more white mice, red
polls and linnets than any other set
of boys within their ken. These they
kept in hatboxes, drawers and even
in the school desks. A small but
very accomplished mouse, which lived
in the corner of a Latin dictionary,
in Dickens desk, and could draw Ro
man chariots, fire paper muskets and
scale past5board ladders, fell at last
into an oyerfull inkpOt and lost both
it's white coat and it's life. Dickens.
nevertheless, won prize for his
Latin, and a well thumbed and blotted
Horace which he once presented tc
his coach recently fetched high
price ct an exhibition in England.

The Origin of Typography.

About a century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in. front
of fire in his home at Administer
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece. and it occurred to Cranch
that this expanse of wood might. be
improved by little ornamen,t:ation;;
He picked up the poker, heated So, It red red
hot and began to sketcn IN ooia uJ,
sign. The result pleased him SO much
that he elaborated his work and began
to attempt other fire pictures on panels
of wood. These met with a ready SALE
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning
of what is now known as typography.
The poker artist of today uses many
different shaped tools and has a spe-
cial furnace in which they are kept
heated. The art has been elaborated
greatly. The knots, curls and hbreS OF
wood are often worked into the de-
sign and delicate tinting produced BY
scorching the panel.

Brother to the Goat.

The small boy drank the contents OF
a bottle OF listerine. The effects were
not particularly disastrous, but they
might have been if the bottle had held
corrosive sublimate or carbolic acid,
and so it was decreed by the powers
that he must be punished to discourage
any further experiments with walls that
contain fascinating liquids.
1t was rather meanly decided that his
mother should administer the chas-
tisement, for the father of this small
boy, like the fathers of most small boys,
is very free to say that the youngster
must be punished, but he is extremely
disinclined to administer the punish
ment himself. -.
The mother OF the three-year-old
thereupon gathered together her dig,
nifty. She looked at him Sternly and
said,-
Don't you dare ever again to
drink anything mother or NURSE,
doesn't give you" Then she slapped
his hands.
The small boy stood the punishment
manfully. He didn't even whimper as
he promised to be good. Five minutes
later his uncle came to call at the
house, The youngster was delighted
to see him.
II didn't know you were tomln,g,
Uncle Dom" said he And then n the
exuberance of his Joy he capered Out
OF the room.
1t is always the part OF prudence; to
follow him up when he is happy, and so
the nurse went after him almost direct
". She found him swallowing the last
OF small cake OF water-color pants,
Her cries brought the father to the
scene. o., ~,
make him drink a glass OF milk!
said he, excitedly. -.
When the nurse returned with TINS
remedy the small boy was sitting up
blinking from the operation OF hav-
ing his mouth washed out with soap
and hot water. ., :,
II don't want the milk, papa" said
he. "Cows drink milk; boys don't.
But this boy did, and he was none
the worse for his feast the next morn
ing. which leads his worried parents to
believe that he is some relation to an
ostrich or a goat and not to be injured
by lunching on strange substances.

Rocking Chairs Banished.

The rocking chair has by common
agreement been banished from the par.
lor and drawing room. Just why, 1t
is hard to say, and this seems to be an
unwritten law. But still. the rocker
turks in the morning room, library and
bed room, its proper domicile, and oc
casionally is seen in the house place,
although some people consider this
bad form. The little davenport, or
lady's writing desk, is also out Of place
in a parlor, strictly speaking. The
rocker has too informal an air sug.
gestive Of ease and dishabile, and the
davenport suggests the active business
Of correspondence.

RadIum and Musk.

Radium was the subject matter under
discussion, and the lawyer said, i
don't see anything so very wonderful
in radium. Admit that it does throw
off light and heat, in a kind OF perpetual
motion, without any gloss OF weight
or energy-well, won't grain OF musk
do the same thing? One single grain
of musk (this has been demonstrated)
will scent for several years a room
twelve feet square, and in the end the
grain will still remain entire. Consider
what this means. A room twelve feet
square contains 2,o85,o84 cubic inches,
and each one-tenth cubic inch, at least.
must have its little molecule OF musk,
or otherwise all the air would not be
nerfumed

An Artic Railway.

The most northerly railway in the
world was opened few weeks ago.
For its whole length it lies within the
Arctic regions. The greater part OF it
is in Swedish territory, and only a
small part cuts through the narrowest
portion of Norway until it reaches the
Norwegian harbor of Narvik. The
chief object of the line, which now con-
meets the northern Baltic with the At
lantic, is to open up the rich mineral
resources of North Sweden and to
carry them cheaply to Narvik. The
new railway. which will be known as
the Ototen line, is about one hundred
and forty miles long, and costs about
