The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1904-06-03

One night it began to rain and the
children said gayly. This will make
pond of the meadow" And, indeed, 1t
did. A neighbours house was swept
away. Their own soon followed. The
children mourned; but the elders said:
How fortunate that the food came
early in the season. Now we have
time to build again before winter!"
Then it suddenly grew cold. The
ground froze, and ice formed on the
pond.
How can we build a house now?"
walled the children.
wait little" replied the elders,
1T is too early for winter yet; we
shall have another warm spell"
Sure enough, Indian summer soon
came with mild days and clear moon
light nights. How fast the muskrats
worked on a new house! Every one
did as much as he was able.
The new house was larger than the
old one, and had another chamber on
top, quite above high water. When 1t
was completed, the muskrats moved
in. Then the water froze over, and
their only escape from the pond was
through the brook.
One day there was great noise
overhead All the muskrats rushed
downstairs into the water. Through
the ice they could see figures moving
swiftly about. They we're boys skat-
ing on the pond. Now two of them
were pounding on the muskrat house.
1t was frozen so hard that after time
they went away. The next day they
came back with sharp instruments,
and tore away the reeds of the roof.
Then the put a queer iron thing in
the chamber, and went off. Three
toes called it trap the moment he
saw it, and said similar one had once
stolen his other toes.
So all the muskrats fed from the
house, and as it was impossible to
build another, they were obliged to
live in their summer caves on the
shore.
How fortunate for u.s." remarked
Mitty's mother cheerfully, that our
old home is so high up in that bank
that it is not flooded! We can keep
quite comfortable there until spring. ;"
Bertha Louise Colburn, in Holiday
Magazine.

Teeth in Their stomachs.

The we'll known lobster is an ex-
ample of this curious fact in zoology,
though many, who have enjoyed eat
ing it in various forms, are quite ig-
norant of the fact. Say the food has
been captured by pincerlike limbs and
brought near the mouth. If it is not
small enough it is torn by the rough
foot jaws or foremost claws, five
pairs being used in this way.
1t then passes through the mouth,
which has no teeth. and on to the
stomach. This organ, which il most
animals is formed of soft tissues only,
is supplied with eight teeth, formed az
ridges or projections from the walls
of the two chambers. Together they
form an hexagonal frame and when
the food passes between the small
muscles which work the teeth, they
suddenly draw them together till they
meet at a centre and effectually crush
whatever is between them. The pro-
cess is repeated with the aid of the
digestive fluid till the mastication is
complete.

Illustrate Your Books.

You are all aware that there are
coming from the presses all the time
excellent pictures relating to every
thing under the sun, and especially
to the scenes and characters of we'll
known books. The suggestion we
would make is that you preserve such
of these as may come in your way,
and then use them to illustrate your
own books. 1t will be easy, for in
stance, to secure portraits OF the au-
thors in who you delight, and it Of
ten is not at all hard to find pictures
of noted places referred to in the text
of the book. Do not be in too great
a hurry about pasting in what you find.
1t is wiser to keep an envelope-large
enough to hold the pictures without
bending them-and collect whatever
comes rightfully to hand and is thought
fit for the purpose. After you have
a fair amount of material, you can
sort out the best and prepare it for
the book. Some grown-up people who
give a great deal of time, thought and
money to this notwithstanding" as
it is called, are very finical about the
work, and have the pictures so pre-
pared as to seem made for the volume;
but this would not be worth your
trouble. 1t is to be hoped that you all
have something better worth your time
and effort. 1t will be best for you to
mount your pictures on thin paper cut
to the size of the book, and then fix
these in their places with just touch
of paste.-St Nicholas.

Lucky Ted.

That was the nickname they called him
by
The boys at his school-and this was
way:
He was bound TO win from the start,
they said
1t was always the way with Lucky Tedl
The earliest flowers in his garden grew;
The sums OH his slate came soonest true;
He could sail boat, or throw ball,
Or guess riddle, the best of all.
You wondered what could his secret be,
But watch him II while and you would
see.
He thought it out till the thing was
plain,
And then went at it with might and
main.
Trusting but little to chance or guess,
He learned the letters that spell Sue
cess.
A ready hand and thoughtful head
SO much for the luck" Of Lucky Ted!
