The Status OF Children.

A child of British parents, wheth-
er born in France, China or any 9TH
er country, is a British subject. SO,
too, is the child of American par
ents wherever they are situated
What IS more, these two greedy
countries claim as their own all chill
dren born within their dominlons,
but in England the child of aliens
is permitted when he comes Of age
to choose his own nationality. 1t IS
plain that if each state attempted to
claim as its own every one born N
its borders there would be endless
quarrels, international law on the
subject says, therefore, that there
shall be no attempt to exercise au-
thority over natural born subjects
so long as they are outside the Dor
ders of their own countries. Once a
man returns to his own country
that state is permitted to deal with
him as it sees fit,-London Answers.

A newsboy, having picked up a

THE RAfTLESNAKE,
How the Rattle In the Reptiles Tai,
Is Formed,


The structure from which the
rattlesnake takes its name-the rat
tle-consists mainly Of three or
more solid, horny rings placed
around the end Of the tail. These
rings themselves are merely dense
portions of the general outer skin
of the body, but the rattle has also
a solid foundation of bone, for the
last three bones OF the tail be:
come united together into one solid
hole or core, grooved where the
bones adjoin, while they increase in
size toward the hinder end of the
complex bone thus formed. This
bony core is invested by skin also
marked by grooves, which corre'
spond with those at the functions
of the three bones, and this skin be-
comes much thickened and so forms
the incipient, imperfect rattle OF
such young snakes as have not yet
cast their skin. When it is cast, the
skin investing the tail close to its
termination is not cast off, but is
held fast by the enlarged end of the
bony core before mentioned.
The piece Of skin thus retained
becomes a loose ring in front of the
incipient rattle and thus forms a
first joint or ring Of the future per-
feet rattle. The same process is re-
peated at each mott, a fresh loose
ring OF additional joint to the per-
tect rattle being thus formed every
time the skin Is shed. Thus the
perfect rattle comes ultimately to
consist of a number Of dry, hard,
more or less loose, horny rings, and
in this way a rattle may consist OF
as many as twenty-one coexisting
rafting rings, 1t is the shaking q
these rings by a violent and rapid
wagging of the end of the snakes
tail which produces the celebrated
rafting sound-a sound which may
be compared to the rafting. of q
number of peas in rapidly shaken
paper bag.

Gay told my troubles 20 my father
and mother, they were merely
amused and said to me:
at is entirely your own fault.
You insisted on having the jacket,
and now you must put up with it."
Thus was condemned to the per-
petual wearing of my yellow jacket,
which entailed upon me no end Of
petty miseries.
Every day at school I was jeered
at and insulted. Even the babies Of
three years-sweet, blue eyed, gold
en- haired cherubs-pointed at me
with their tiny fingers and lisped:
Canary Canary"
One day we were playing the game
of brigands and gendarmes. l was
one of the gendarmes, who were in
variably beaten.
Met-a-Mort had nominated him
self captain of the brigands and
chose Georgette for his viyandiere.
Presently for a few moments
there was suspension Of hostilities.
Brigands and gendarmes fraternized
as they quenched their thirst and
expatiated upon the joys of the fray.
Suddenly Georgette, with her accus-
toned yivacity, bore in upon the lit
tie group. She bore in her hands a
glass ink bottle.
"See," said her sweet voice. "Who-
ever will drink this ink shall by and
by be my little husbandl"
When we resumed our game, l
discovered that l had lost all inter-
est in it. Georgette's words haunt
ed me.
/ went to look for the ink bottle,
which the child had carried back to
the schoolroom. There stood con-
templating the black, uninviting
looking liquid.
1 closed my eyes and raised the
bottle to my lips.
"What are you about, you dirty
little thing?" exclaimed q voice from
behind me at the same instant that
l received q smart blow upon my
uplifted arm,
Covered with confusion, l turned
and beheld Mile. Ermance, who had
surprised me in my singular occupa-
ton.
l had no time to explain. Just
at that moment my schoolfellows
came trooping in. Georgette, see
ing me standing there, ink stained
and disgraced, and already-the CO.
quette-forgetful of her promise,
exclaimed. with face of disgust;
ooh, the dirty boy! The nasty,
dirty boyP
Everything, however, has its
bright side. Mile. Ermance's tap
and my own start of surprise had
jerked the ink bottle from my
grasp. My yellow jacket was liter,
