URSULA's CONCLUSION.

 My dad certainly knows a great deal About everything. big and small. But when he says the sun doesn't move I can't believe him at all. I took my dear Helen out for a walk. Cause l knew 1t would do her good And laid her down in a shady place All grass at the edge of the wood. Then I went to visit a place I know, Where little black ants have hill: They don't mind bit when you're
 watching them As long as you keep very still. They take all sorts of things into their
 house,
 And they must be awfully strong. For some of the things are as big as
 themselves
 And they travel the whole day long didn't forget my poor Helen, you
 know,
 But I thought she must be all right. left her in such beautiful place And hardly out of my sight But when I went back to get her-Oh. You never did see such thing. There was nothing left but her poor And her hair. like pieces of string. For while I was gone the bad sun had And found out the place where she
 lay: And the poor little thing. being made
 of wax,
 Had melted entirely away! And so they may say what they please
 at school, And daddy may laugh till he cries, But I'll never believe the sun doesn't
 move
 As long as it's up in the skies.

The British ouinaa.

It Is among the things general, known that the guinea obtained its name from the gold from which 1t was made having been brought from the Guinea coast by the African company of traders. The first notice of this gold was in 164S. during the common wealth of England. when on the 14th of April of that year the Parliament re- ferred to the council of state a paper presented to the House concerning the coinage of gold brought in a ship lately come from "Guiny" for the better ad- vancing of trade. But 1t was in the reign of Charles II that the name was first given to this coin. It Is among things not generally known that when the guinea was originally coined the intention was to make 1t current as a twenty shilling piece. but from an er- TOT. or rather series of errors, in cal culating the exact proportions of the value of gold and silver it never cir culated for that value. Sir Isaac New ton in his time fixed the true value of the guinea in relation to silver at POS. Sd. and by his advice the crown pro- claimed that for the future 1t should be current at 21 shillings.

 The crimes of three of the men are alleged to have been committed on the night of December 8. The ,doings of Rus sell and Driscoll are well remembered.

The Kissing Habit

Boston Globe.
 Ethnologists tell that among the prim- itive races kissing was unknown. The Lapps and Maoris to-day simply rub noses. Even the average native of Ja- pan still knows nothing about kiss ing.
 The French and the Germans are the great kissing races. The learned Eras- mus, who visited England in Tudor times. says that the "mucco-cutaneous investment" was universal and that everybody kissed, so that he felt that he was being kissed to death" when there.
 But science is now making a severe war on this too prevalent habit The New York Medical Journal says that 1t Is the efficient cause of much invid- ious bacterial infection. Even the Elm peror of Germany has been forced to modify the osculatory habit.

make 1t fertile and productive again.
 The germs that bring fertility are ma ed by the Department of Agricul- ture in small package like a yeast cake. The cake contains millions of dried germs. The farmer who receives the cake drops 1t into a barrel of clean water; the germs are revived and soon turn the water to a milky white. Seeds of clover, peas, alfalfa, or other legu- minous plants that are then soaked in this milky preparation are endowed with marvellous strength. Land on which, for instance, the farmer with constant toll had obtained alfalfa only a few inches high. when planted with these inoculated seeds will produce al- falfa several feet high and so rich that the farmer does not recognize his crop

Artificial Cultivation of sponges.

Dr. Evermann in National Geographic
 Magazine Washington, D. co
 An interesting investigation now being carried on in Florida by the Bureau of Fisheries has for its object the discovery and development of methods by which the valuable sheeps- wool sponge may be cultivated artifi- cial1y.
 The method which promises the most satisfactory results Is that of using cuttings. Large sheepswool sponges are cut into small pieces which are fastened to an insulated wire fixed in the water. so that the sponges are supported a few inches above the bot tom. These small bits. placed at close intervals along the wire. soon heal and form an organic attachment to it, and very soon begin to grow. It is too soon to predict just what the results will be. but the indications are so far very encouraging. and 1t is believed that the time is not far distant when the sponge fisheries of Florida will be vastly in- creased in productiveness and value.
