The VOLTS Revenge.

According to an Indian legend, in the
beginning the Dog was put on the
mountain and the Wolf beside the fire.
When the winter came the Dog could
not endure the cold, so he came down
to the settlement and drove the Wolf
from the fire. The Wolf ran to the
mountains, where it suited him so we'll
that he prospered and increased until
after awhile he ventured down again
and killed some animals in the settle
ments. The people got together and
followed and killed him, but his broth
ers came from the mountains and took
such revenge that ever since the people
have been afraid of the Wolf.

In a Chinese school.

Each Chinese schoolboy must furnish
his own stool and table for school work
and the -four precious articles" which
are the ink slab, a cake Of india ink, a
brush for writing and paper. With
these he begins his weary task of learn
ing to write and read the thousands of
Chinese characters. These are to open
the way to the Chinese classics, and a
knowledge Of this ancient literature
and wisdom NEAR education to the
Chinese. At the opening Of a Chinese
school a paper on which is written the
name Of Confucius is pasted on the
wall. Before this honored name the
pupils and teachers burn paper money
and joss sticks and bow their heads
three times to the floor. The teacher
then tells Confucius the day, the month
and the year when the school is opened
and begs for his favor. Every morn
ing when the pupils arrive they must
bow twice, once for the teacher and
once for Confucius.

when SPENCER Boarded.

Among the stories told of Herbert
Spencer some time ago was n relat-
ing to his boarding house experiences.
His doctor had advised him that soil
tary meals were not good for him, and
he went to a boarding house, but did
not stay. The pleasant lady" who sat
next to him and who was to engage
him in light and cheerful talk was a
sad disappointment. A friend asked
her how she liked the boarding house.
Could she recommend it? "Oh, yes, I
think l cam she replied. "But there
is a Mr.. Spencer, who thinks he knows
about science and philosophy. I have
to correct him every night" One Of
Spencer's peculiarities was to carry
about two little plugs in his pocket,
and whenever conversation around him
became annoying he took them out
and put them in his ears.-London

After a time Of deep thought and
hard study she brought her compost

"There is my composition. It wat

Skater Be11e1eullle's Showing.
George Bellefeuille of Winnipeg, who
was picked to win the mile and the
five mile events at the recent cham
pionship meet at Verona lake, New
Jersey, did not skate the race he was
supposed to have in him, and the best
he did was to come In second in the
Eve mile race and skate third in the
half mile event.
In the five mile ace Bellefeuille was
the only one Champion Morris Wood
Of Long Branch, N. J., had to fear.
The Canadian showed that he was
used to going the distance. and It was
a question whether Wood could hold
to the last mile and then have a sprint
left. He proved that he could.
The condition Of the ice prevented
extreme speed. The top Ice was soft
In spots and would not hold the strong
stride Of the skaters. Most OF the
fastest amateurs in the United States
were entered, along with a Canadian

A tall, straight young man and a

with a little gesture of his head that
was not at all displeasing, even If 1t
was a bit dramatic, bowed her to the
