This little animal called guinea pig is
neither a pig nor 4 native of Guinea. Some
hundreds of years ago, when the Span
iards first came TO Peru. they found for
sa in the markets large numbers of lt-
tie animals looking very much like dressed
sucking pigs. They were called CAVES.
and the reason they looked so like PIGS
were from the way in which they were
prepared for cooking, which was done hv
scalding and scraping them, Just as pigs
are prepared for market The sailors not
knowing their true name. called the lite
Indian pigs" AS the Shipping and trade
was greater from Guinea than from Peru
and the cargoes were associated in the
minds of the people as ali coming from
Guinea. and az the little animal became
Very popular they were spoken of as
little pigs from Guinea" and this was
soon shortened to guinea pig." This nama
has chung to them ever since, not only
in thise country but also in France
Spain. Portugal and Germany. In the lat
ter place they are called sea pigs" lr
their home in Peru they arc called "comv'

they do a pig They really belong to the

jamie Yeats, Whites Depot. Va.-Dear
Junior: ] would like 10 add little more
to what the cousins have said in regard
to education. The word education means
TO train, to instruct. to awaken our facul-
ties to action.
1t aims at the growth and highest pos
sible culture of the whole man. and the
most valuable means for securing this
grand result are found in books Of useful
knowledge and information.
These are the tools with which the
rough block is chiseled into symmetry and
beauty.
Education Is a friend which no misfor-
tune can estrange, an introduction
abroad.
1t is the helper Of the poor and IN
fortunate, an ornament in every walk OF
society.
If we take the correct view Of this i'm
pOrtant matter. we shall hold that eduCa-
ton is never finished, that there is al
ways something new to learn. that the
highest summit has not been reached and
We shall still, in the spirit of Longfel-
lows Excelsior" press upward with
noble resolve and a determination that is
daunted by no difficulty or failure.
