BOY TEACHER ON A
CRUST OF LAVA

Kau district on Hawaii has the
honor of harboring the youngest
school principal in the islands. The
young man is less than sixteen years
of age, rather small for his years. but
he is. bright enough to preside over
the intellectual destinies of eight or
nine rising young sprouts of Hawai-
ian, Chinese and Japanese humanity.
The young principal lives in the quaint
little village of waiohinu and every
morning rides a donkey to his school
seven miles away. The school is locat-
ed on a bleak, barren lava crust. and
is a place which few pedagogues would
care TO spend a long, weary school
year. For this reason the young man,
only recently out of the care of the
excellent principal of the Waiohinu
school, secured the position,

HousE BAD FAMOUS GUESTS.
The Oldest Hotel in United States West
of the Allegheny Mountains.

The Oldest Hotel in United states West
of the Allegheny Mountains.
The Girard Hotel of Brownsville, the
oldest hotel in the United States Vest
of the Allegheny Mountains, and which
has been in continuous service furnish
ing entertainment for man and beast
for over 100 years. was sold by the
sheriff of Fayette county last Saturday
to satisfy a mortgage.
While not the first hotel built this
side of the Alleghenies, the Girard is
without doubt the oldest in point of
service. It was built in 1900, and just
four years ago this summer celebrated
the centennial of its establishment. In
the more than a century that has
passed since it was first erected the
hotel has been in constant service. It
has changed hands frequently. but has
always been a favorite place for travel
ers to stop.
In the old days of the National Pike
it was a famous hosiery. Brownsville
was then the head of navigation on the
Monongahela river. The only route
from Washington and Baltimore to all
Monongahela river valley was through
Brownsville. At least that was the
direct road, and one of the most
Travelled. Governors, Senators. Con-
gressmen and travellers of every kind
and description journeyed that way and
made the old Girard House their stop

guest there So was Henry Clay. Gen.
Lafayette was entertained at the Girard
and host of others whose names are
familiar in American history Jackson
was a frequent guest al the house, and
always insisted on having the best
Monongahele rye wiskey the valley
could produce. II is related of him that
on one of his trips over the pike he
suffered sprained ankle and put UP
at the Girard for repairs. The Browns
Vile physician called to attend him
undertook to bath the injured ankle
with wiskey. to which "OId Hickory
vigorously objected. Although the med
ical man had his way, the hero of New
Orleans insisted that use of the re-
medy internally would do more good
and save a sacrilege.
OF late years the mana cement of the
old house has not been SO successful.

are on the free list in the cafes. don't
know whether they, charge for water
or not, as / never drink water away

ANIMALS NEVER IDLE,
They Manage to Keep Very Busy
without Doing Very Much.


without Doing Very Much.
How is it that birds and beasts man.
age to pass through life without sue
cumblng to ennui, o., at least. without
being bored nearly to death? Animals.
as rule, do not loaf. 1t is not thus
that they solve the problem. Loafing is
an art which but few living creatures
understand. Lizards, crocodiles and
chaprassis are the greatest authorities
on the subject. Animals have acquired
the knack of making much ado about
nothing; they have learned to be very
busy without doing anything. This ac-
complshment obviously differs from
that of loafing. 1t is one which ami
mails have ArOught to perfection and
OF which human beings. chiefly
women are able eXponents. There
is overhead wasp busily exploring
the holes in the trunk of tree. Why
he does this he probably does not know;
he has no time to stop and think. He
is quite content to explore away as
though his life depended upon it. Five
times within the last six minutes he
has minutely inspected every portion
of the same hole. All his labor is use
less, in Il sense; without it, however.
the wasp would in all probability die
Of ennui. The wasp is not an isolated
case. Most animals are experts at frit-
tering away time; they spend much
of their lives in actively doing nothing.
Watch a canary in a cage. He hops
backward and forward between two
perches as though he was paid by the
distance for doing so. Look at butter
fly. 1t leads an aimless existence. Nev-
ertheless it is always busy. A bee
probably visits twenty times rs many
flowers in the day as a butterfly; for
all that the butterfly is always on the
move.
When speaking of the swift, l notice
how long it took to find the materials
for its nest, how it went afar off to
seek that which was at its feet This.
although the result of stupidity, is
doubtless a blessing to the bird. Nest
building affords great pleasure to the
bird-the more protracted the amuse-
ment the better for the architect. The
/ squirrel labOrs from early morn till
late eve laying up a store of nuts
When one storehouse is full, the indus
/ triOus animal opens another and then
| proceeds to forget the existence of the
first. Lastly, animals spend no incon.
/ siderable portion of the day in play
Nearly all the higher animals indulge
in play; some go so far as to play reg
ular games.-Times of India.

Mexican Ruins.

Mexico has many ancient ruins, par
ticularly in the states of Oaxaca, CHA
pas, Yucatan and Morelia. Those Of
Militia, in Oaxaca; Palenqua, in CHA
pas; Uxmal, in Yucatan, and Xochi-
milco, in Morelia, are among the most
famous and interesting. Some of them
represent whole cities and are sup
posed to be from two to three thousand
years old. They all show the most
elaborate carvings, which closely re-
.semble the Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Dodging a Lion Hunter.

The fondness that some people have
for contact with nOtables is not al
ways shared by the notables them
selves. 1t is told by the late Baron
HuddlestOn that he once tried to OBJ
tain a seat next to a duke at the table
d'hote in a hotel where both were
guests. That this proximity to the
great man might be brought about the
baron gave the waiter a sovereign. Th
servant proved a traitor, and, an ex
planation being demanded, he con.
fessed that the duke had given him
two sovereigns not to give the baron
the coveted seat.

THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great Writers Who Won the Hearts
of the Youngsters.

of the Youngsters.
1t is one of the most lovable traits
in many of our greatest men that they
are as skillful In winning the hearts of
little children as in captivating the
minds of their parents.
Was there ever a great man who did
not love children? If there was, and
we have never heard or read of him, his
greatness was by so much the less.
Even Sam Johnson relaxed his grim
ness into smiles of pleasure when Bos-
wells baby daughter held out her arms
to him and pulled his hair when he
was not sufficiently attentive to her.
Byron, whose own child life had been
so saddened and imbittered by a love-
less mother, worshiped his little daugh-
ter Ada with all his passionate soul,
and history has no sweeter picture than
that of SOuthey singing his child to
sleep as he paced the floor with his cit
tie burden of love" in his arms.
Lambs great heart had many a warm
corner for his child friends-all the
heart, in fact, that his sister Mary did
not fill-and when he took his daily
walk through Edmonton it was the sig
nal for all the little children to flock to
him for kiss, kind word or better
than all, to take his hands or coat tails
and accompany him on his rambles.
1t is little wonder that Charles Dick
ems, the great hearted one" was idol
lied by the little ones; for there never
was more entertaining companion or
one who could better make himself a
child again for their delight There
are many staid men and women Of to-
day who recall with pleasure and re-
gret the romps they used to have with
Boz in the famous nursery at Gads-
hill
Amonk great men of later days Mr.
Lewis Carroll must be counted king
Of the children's hearts," That soli-
tary, '0vable mixture of a man." who
was welded to mathematics and to
children, had few pleasures apart from
one or the other. His study at Christ
church was a perpetual nursery, its
corners and cupbOards stuffed with
toys and sweets and all that appeals t.
childs heart, and here or on a river
picnic, surrounded by swarms Of his
young friends, the mathematical pro
fessor was always a boy, as full OF
fun and as ripe for mischief as the
youngest of his guests. May his res
be sweet, this chief of children's lovers
Oliver Wendell Holmes, most amia
bic of "autocrats," was a lifelong love-
of children and could "skip back seven
ty years" at a moments notice at
child's bidding. Could anything b,
sweeter than the letter he wrote ac
knowledging the photograph of one Of
his little girl friends? May thos,
lips" he wrote, 'speak what is pur,
and true; may those ears hear bu
what is good, and may those eyes al
ways mirror soul as beautiful al
themselves"
