Taking Benefit Of Our Best
Schools.

When WI Ting Fang, former
Chinese minister to this country,
left Washington for his native
land, he did not take his son, WI
Chao Chu, with him. The young
man is a student at the high
school at Atlantic City, having
been entered there as a pupil last
fall.
Mr.. WI wants his son to get as
much benefit as possible from the
American system of education, as
found in our public schools. AS
the boy is quick, and possesses
many of the noble traits of his
father, there is little doubt of his
being one of the influential men
in the affairs of thew China" in a
few years.

The Spiders Way Out.

A close observer has never to
travel away from home for enter
tainment and instruction. One
bright eyed young person tells in
an English paper how he found a
spider an interesting playmate.
took a wash bowl and fast
ened up a stick in it like vessel S
mast, aud then poured in water
enough to turn the mast to an is
lond for my spider, whom l named
Crusoe, and put on the mast. AS
soon as he was fairly cast away, he
anxiously commenced runni ng
around to find the main land.
He'd scamper down the main mast
to the water, stick out one foot,
get it wet, shake it, run around
the stick and try the other side,
and then back to the top again.
Pretty soon it became a seriOu S
matter with Mr. Robinson, and he
sat down to think over it. AS in
a moment, he acted as tho he were
going to shout for boat, and as
if he were afraid he was going
to be hungry, put molasses on
the stick. A fly came by, but
Crusoe wasn't hungry for flies
Just then. He was hcmesick for
his web in the corner of the wood
shed. He went slowly down the
pole to the water and touched it
all around, shaking his feet like
pussy when she vets her stocking
in the grass. Suddenly thought
appeared to strike him. Up he
went like rocket to the top, and
commenced playing circus. He
held one foot in the air, then an
other, and turned around two or
three times.
He became excited and nearly
stood on his head before l found
out what he knew, and that was
this: That the draught of all
made by the fire would carry a lint
ashore, on which he could escape
from his deserted island. HI
pushed out line that went float
ing in the air until it caught on
the table. Then he struck it sew

RussIa's Floating Farms.

Russia has hit upon a new plan
for teaching the young men of the
peasant class new ideas relative to
farming and gardening. Floating
farms are sent on annual voyages
thru the empire. These movable
farm schools travel up and down
the rivers. and the Russians are
invited to visit them for the pur-
pose of absorbing scientific ideas
on agriculture from competent in
structors.
Illustrated lectures are given on
how to raise the most profitable
crops, and seeds are handed out
with a liberal hand. Besides the
seeds, plants and vegetables, in
store and growing on the boats,
there are silos, bee-hives, incuba-
tors, dairy apparatus, and nearly
every improved nipple
ment known to modern farming.
When a floating farm reaches a
village it is tied up to a landing,
and big bell is rung vigorously.
On hraring this, the peasants drop
their work and hurry on board,
and the lessons begin without loss
of time.
If the Russians take full advan-
table of enterprise on the part of
their government it will not be
many years before their country
will undergo a wonderful change.
The Russians have never lacked
for land, and this new departure
bids fair to supply their lack of
knowledge.

SECOND THOUGHTS IN LOVE.

Not Always Advisable to Marry the
First Hearts Choice.
People who marry while very young
are apt to find out when Il Is too late
that they have made the greatest mis-
take In their lives, and that, though 1t
may seem very sweet to marry the
first and only love-" this same FIRST
love" is the very last person in the
world that they ought to have married.
Some, indeed, may advise couples to
marry before they are out OF their
teens, and settle down before the dis.
fractions Of the world can attempt to
shake their allegiance to each other;
but this settling down too often proves
to be a mere temporary phase. and Is
followed by an unsettled condition
that lasts for the rest of their unhappy
lives. Second thoughts are often best
in lore.
