A GIANT. IN FEATHERS
The Experience of Young Frenchman in Madagascar
JOHN R. CoRYELL, in St. Nichol.s.j

II never saw such thing in my 1ifs
before! Maybe you won't believe me,
but that bird made so much noise;as it
came through thesbushes that I thought
it was q herd of cattle. And when it
came to wheresI could see It, each Gifts
legs looked as big around as my leg, and
it was as tall as a small tree. And such
a beak as it had! ., t.,
1T went directly to the spot where the,
egg had been, and then was frightened,
for l knew If it caught me with the egg
I'd be eaten up in minute. Buti didn't
dare to move When the monstrous
creature missed the egg, it set up an
awful squawk. Then, I dropped the egg
and, ran in the direction that seemed
clearest of trees.
."The bird ran, too, for could hear IL
crashing through the bushes, and ex-
pected every minute to be taken in its
big mouth. BY and by, i couldn' t run
any more, and fell down, when five big
birds similar to the one, had already
seen came leaping along straight at me.

THE SELF.TAMED MUsKRAT.
Shy Little Animal Made Friends with
a Farmers Family and Be- "~E~'
came Pet. Ill. Y

The muskrat is very shy, and it
seems strange that of it's own choice
it should elect to- become a pet; but
this is the story told in the Christian
Endeavor World:
The family lived on the banks Of q
stream, where the water flowed swift
ly, free from ice, until it emptied into
the pond nearby. Along the shores OF
the pond the muskrats each season
built their .huts. In the winter they
frequently swan about in the open
stream, and the boys threw apples into
the water for them. ~ Ns,, "a. r .,.l
At length one rat ventured to climb
up the steep bank and prowl about the
house. Not being molested In his WIS.,
it's, one night he crawled under, the
kitchen floor and gnawed through into
the kitchen. After that he was the pet
of the family.
He took food from the boys hands
and allowed them to stroke his fur.
He did not object to being taken in
their laps. He preferred, however, to
lie behind the stove; there he would
stay for hours. The hole he agnaWed
was boarded up, and he was taught to
come and go through the door. When
he wished to come in, he scratched at
the door. At night he sometimes
proved troublesome. ID II no one an
swered his call, he crawled under the
house and began gnawing a new hole.
A queer pet he proved. He was not
nearly so quick on land as in water
When he walked across the floor, his
long, scaly tail dragged noisily after
him. His favorite food was apples.
While eating, he "scooched" on his
launches and held the food in his
paws When he had eaten enough, he
pushed the rest into dark corner. =

THERE CHARTONNE was not by

DEERE CHARToNNE was not by
any means the least excited person
on the French feet which cast an
Choir in Rafala bay, Madagascar, on a
certain day some 300 years ago. Pierre
was to go ashore for the first time in
more than year. The captain had
promised that in the morning he would
accompany the men who were going to
look for fresh water. ,r
The next morning, with his beloved
blunderbuss borne upon his shoulder,
Pierre stepped proudly on the beach,
ready and anxious to meet the savage
men and curious wild beasts he felt sure
he was going to see. = b. 80 ~"
Shortly before dlnner-time it was pro-
posed that some of the sailors should try
to shoot few of the birds of which the
forest seemed full; for fresh meat to a
sailor is one of the greatest of Injuries,
and it seemed pity to do without it
when it was directly at hand. Here was
an opportunity which Pierre did not let
pass. He entreated his commanding Of
ficer so earnestly to let him be one of

HAVE TO GIVE LONG CREDIT
Dressmakers Who Wish to Succeed
Must Not Be Pressing About
Their Bills.

A recent lawsuit in the courts be-
tween the president and vice president
of a smart dressmaking ablishment
has called attention to peculiar phase
OF the dressmaking trade-the system
of long credits, entailing large outlay
of capital.
+. Successful concerns have found that
4 'long credit" is not only desirable, but
essential to the financial prosperity Of
their business. While many in the
dressmakin1g. business have no hesi-
fancy in admitting their profit to BE-
100 per cent, they show conclusively
that their expenses are so enormous
that this, 100 per cent. diminishes to
so per cent, and sometimes. Is per
cent. A woman at the head of one Of
the smart establishments says:
"The wives of our multimillionaires
know absolutely nothing of the value
of money and never realize that a
modiste who gowns them may need
the money they owe to pay her own
bills with. Were she to present this
fact to them she would doubtless lose
their custom and that of their set.
The fiat would 60 forth: DO not go
to So and Sos, They can't be any
good and can't have much of a trade,
for they are always dunning for their
money
"You needed their money; you
therefore could not make a smart
gown, and they would go to some rival
establishment, where they would be
welcomed with open arms, and because
they had left the first modiste the
second would only too gladly give
them unlimited credit. This is one Of
the reasons why long credit and good
names are essential assets of a sue
cessful dressmaking business"

SULTAN HATED BY MooRs.
Subjects Are Offended by Innovations
and Foolish Extravaganza
Of Ruler.

An English correspondents descrip-
ton of the sultan of Morocco's charac-
ter sufficiently explains the feelings of
his subjects, which, according to Eur>,-
pean residents, must result in a geh-
eral revolution that is already almost
ablaze. The Moors, states the Chic7-
go Tribune, naturally hate and scorn
his western proclivities wherewith be
has outraged every Mussulman idea.
While earning their hatred he has not
commanded their fear or respect.
On the other hand, he has outwo-n
the patience of his European friends
by his countless childish whims. The
sultan's leanings are towards the fol-
lies and not the wisdom of the west.
His army is a worthless rabble. NJ
though regiment after regiment has
been raised, equipped and drilled by
British officers, only to be disbanded
and the horses and equipment sold BE-
low cost to provide money for the sui
tan's idiotic whims.
Some of these are suhlcientiy
grotesque to stamp Mulai-Abd-el-Aziz
as lunatic. For instance. he has ex-
pended thousands upon automobiles.
although the roads Of Morocco are nor
fit for even a bicycle, and Of these he
has scores made of aluminium, which
the slightest obstacles crumple like
paper. He also has gold and diamond
studded cameras and a stock of photo
graphic paper worth $4,000. He takes
about four snapshots a month. He has
looking glass bedsteads and there is a
never-ceasing procession of packing
cases from Europe, containing trump
cry and gewgaws, musical boxes, me-
chanical toys, cameras, gramophones
and watches.

the shooting party that consent was
given.
Pierre, blunderbuss In hand, and three
sailors started for the forest.
An hour later, the three men hurried
down to the beach laden with game, but
without Pierre. Where he was they did
not know; they had missed him more
than half and hour before, and supposed
he had returned to the beach. :,
Here he is now, suddenly exclaimed
one of the men.
And there, indeed, he was, hatless and
in haste. AS quickly as his short legs
could carry him, he was tearing through
the underbrush; and as he drew nearer
the men on the beach could see that he
was frightened. -.
When he reached the alarmed sailors,
he sank, painting and exhausted, on the
sand. To all their hurried questions he
could only gaps out, after mel" and
point to the forest. Whereupon they all
gathered eagerly about him to hear his
story.

into the forest" he began, Il left the
others, because thought we would see
more game in two parties than in ona

big as tar-bucket. made up my mind
to carry it back to the ship to take home,
though it was heavy; but while stood
with it in my arms, brushing off the dirt
that was on the under side, heard a
rustling in the bushes, and then
thought there must have been big bird
to lay that enormous egg, and then I
shook so that nearly dropped the egg.
Il got behind a tree near by and
stopped down so that could Zee through
the bushes what kind of bird was COM

AS long as Pierre lived he was known
as Big-Bird Pierre, for he could get no.

FOR TEACHER AND PUPIL.
A Lesson That Gave Something Of
Value to the Pedagogue and
His Hopeless Charge.

Julia L. Dumont was a western
writer of eminence back in the '4O's,
and she was also a schoolmistress
who, says one who studied under
her, deserves immortality" relates
Youths Companion. Mr.. George Cary
Eggleston, who was one of her pupils,
says in his life of his brother Edward
that her peculiar gift in dealing with
any boy or girl lay in seeing what ap-
peal would, in that particular case,
prove strongest. When Eggleston came
under her care, one teacher after an
other had attempted to teach him to
write, and had abandoned the effort in
disgust.
Finally, one writing-master who had
been teaching young and old to make
hair lines for up strokes and heavy
ones for down strokes, and to decorate
the paper with elaborate flourishes,
called the boy Ounce" and "booby,"
and dismissed him from his school.
+. Mrs. Dumont must have heard all
this, and when the boy, in his morti-
f1cation, asked to be excused from
writing, she merely said:
"Why, has Mr.. Wilson taught you to
write SO we'll that you can learn no
more?"
''No, Mrs. Dumont," said the humili-
ated lad. II can never learn to write"
"Who says that?" she asked, quietly.
mr.. Wilson and-every teacher I
ever had"
LET me look at your hand, George"
He held it out. She studied it close
ly, and bent the fingers one after an
other. Then she said: II hear you
are the best marble-player in town. Is
that so?"
His pockets were bullying with
marbles, and he owned to an excep-
tional degree of skill in the game.
'Yet Mr.. Wilson called you 'booby!'
Now, George, I'll tell you what you and
I are going to do. am going to teach
you to write clear, legible and sensi-
bic hand, and two weeks from to-day
you are going to write a letter to Mr..
Wilson. will dictate it, and you shall
sign it, and he will learn whether a
boy who can play marbles cannot be
taught to write"
The battle was won. The boy re-
solved to make any effort for the
teacher who had believed in him. She
advised him to have nothing to do
with up strokes and down strokes and
flourisbes. Absolute legibility, she
said, was the first requisite in all
If one could write rap
Idly and easily, so much the better.
To the boys establishment, he could
actually read the lines he had written
for his first lesson. At the end of the
two weeks he was master of a plain
and legible hand, very much like that
Of Mrs. Dumont. Then, at her dicta-
tlon, he joyously wrote this letter to
his former teacher:
Dear Sir: I am writing this letter
At the dictation of my teacher, Mrs.
Dumont. Mrs. Dumont thinks you
should be pleased to see that, after two
weeks of instruction, I have learned to
write sensible and legible hand, and
that I am not quite so hopeless a
BOBBY as you thought me-" $50. r. .e.

into his eyes, for away up the street he
saw the grey uniform of the postman
He came briskly down the street, stop
ping at one house after another. until
he reached the Raggett house.
Monsieur gazed at him, eagerly.
Nothing" said the postman, shaking
his head.
,'"Rien," groaned the old man, his head
dropping On his breast. III :. =
Mrs. Raggett laughed scornfully, and
Capt. Raggett, who was leaning against
the mantel-piece in the lowest possible
spirits, was so depressed at the non
delivery of the letter that he knocked q
nickel clock of the mantel and with II
a mass of papers tucked behind the
clock.
"Orkard idjut," exclaimed Mrs. Rag
gett.
The captain solemnly picked up the
clock and replaced it. Then he gathered
up the papers. There was one bulky en-
velope from some installment house
which had come unsealed and contained
advertising matter. AS the captain
picked this up another letter dropped
from out of the advertisements.
whats this?" exclaimed he, "a let
ter for M. M. Francois Grande. Where
did this come from?"
Mrs. Raggett colored. II suppose It
got tucked into that there other letter
and nobody noticed it," she said. LET
me see it."
1T belongs to Musseer Grande." said
the captain, and he bore it to him.
With eyes cleaning, with gaelic ut
terances pouring from his lips, the old
man opened the letter. There was the
draft for 5000 francs, and, more, a prom
Use of like sum in two months.
The old Frenchman waved the draft,
triumphantly.
II was sure, captain" he exclaimed.
1T is that am richie. It is that we have
a dinner at the restaurant, that tho
friends have presents and the children
have bon-bons."
Mrs. Raggett was harsh, but she had
some feeling. She declined the invita-
ton to the dinner.
It'd have choked me-" she exclaimed.
Monsieur still boards at the Raggett
house. His articles sell again, and In
two months time another draft and an
other dinner, more presents, more bon
bons for the children.

THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

! can't hardly work for ttinkin',
OF where l was at last year
Just about t2is time, an blinkin'
Out the winder kinder queer;
For the building over yonder
With the placard plastered wall
Seems Z field where wild bees blunder
And a wood where catbirds call.
And the street that looks so binding
In the torrid June day sun
Is country highway winding
Past where shaded streamlets run;
And there's purple clover blowing
Perfumed messages to me
From out yonder, where I'm knowing
Just the city ought to be.
And I'm IN the glen and Drawing
At my very feet the stream
That knew last year is calling
Like the voices from q dream.
