Character and Object.

Send two persons out of the
room, then select a character and
an object which are closely related
to each other-for instance, George
Washington and his hatchet," "Sir
Walter Raleigh and his cloak"
"Cleopatra and the asp" Call in
the persons and tell one of them to
be the character, the other the OBJ
ject; then they ask alternately ques-
tions of the company, which must
be answered by yes or no. They
generally, after much questioning,
find out who and what they are.
Persons and objects may be of local
fame, often causing much amuse-
ment.

ERUPTION of Vesuvius.

Place at the bottom of a large
fiat glass vessel a little bottle con-
tanning some red wine. The bottle
is sealed with a cork having small
hole bored through it by means of
a redhot wire in the direction of its
axis. We know that in consequence
of its density wine will fall
upward into water, and accord
ingly we shall soon see the ruby
liquor escaping in a small but slowly
widening thread that ascends to-
ward the top of the water. Proceed
as follows: From sand or earth fash
ion an imitation mountain at the
bottom of the vase. In this minia-
ture mountain conceal your bottle
of wine, taking care to allow a small
hole on top for the wine to escape !;
this is the crater.
Now gently pour water into your
vase until nearly full, and, giving
the water circular motion with the
hand, the red wine making its es-
cape in thin thread will give you
a splendid imitation of an active
volcano.

KUROPATKlN.

General Kuropatkin's hold ovel

he received the information that the

twenty-four hours. The genera
was in bed when he heard the news.
but he at once got up and started
for st. Petersburg without losing
moment. He summoned all the
staff of the magazine and went on a
round of inspection. He found ev-
erything in order, and as proof of
his satisfaction ordered every one IN
the magazine to take three days
holiday and to leave at once. He
then collected a new garrison aid a
new staff and set ring of sentrlcs
all around the magazine. The con-
sequence was that nothing happened
to the st. Petersburg magazine, but
that at Toulon was blown up the
next day.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Lazy Little Boy Was Taught q
Wholesome Lesson.


1t was a very hot day, and the
little boy was lying on his stomach
under the big linden tree reading
the Scottish Chiefs"
Little boy" said his mother,
"will you please go out in the gar
den and bring me a head OF let
tuce"
ooh, I-can't!" said the little
boy. "I'm-too hot!'
The little boys father happened
to be close by wedding the gerantum
bed, and when he heard this he
lifted the little boy gently by the
shoulders and dipped him in a great
tub of water that stood all ready for
watering the plants.
"There, my sonp said the father.
"Now you are cool enough to 60 and
get the lettuce, but remember next
time that it will be easier to 60 at
once when you are told, as then you
will not have to change your
clothes"
Then the little boy went drip,
drip, dripping out into the garden
and brought the lettuce. Then he
went drip, drip, dripping into the
house and changed his clothes, but
he said never a word, for he knew
there was nothing to say.
That is the way they do things
where that little boy lives. Would
you like to live there? Perhaps not.
Yet he is a very happy little boy,
and he is learning the truth OF the
old saying:
Come when you're called; do as you're
Shut the door after you, and you'll never
be child.

A Pics Tale.

Within q pen that was not big
A thrifty farmer kept pig.
That piggy drank. the neighbors say,
A bucketful of milk each day.
A bucketful-all that was in it
He drank one day in just a minute.
The man then grabbed him by the tall
And dropped him snug within the pail.
The pail Of milk was in the pig
And yet the contents were not big
Enough TO fully fill the pail
CThe truth is strange. but must prevaiD.
Although the piglet was rot big
And though the paiiful filed the pig,
The piCfrl did not ill the PAIL

6HE old saying has it that the
child is father TO the man, but to
that sage remark. as we shall at
4 tempt to illustrate in our poor,
weak way, should be added the other
proverb that it is a wise child that is
able to recognize its own father. Those
who are aware Of the extremely small
percentage Of wisdom at large among
the human race will realize the pitiful
condition Of ignorance to which most Of
us are reduced. If the average man at
the age of so years could see himself at
the age of 20 he would probably swear
out a warrant for his own arrest on the
ground of being a suspicious character
or a vagrant without visible means OF
support.
In order to give the proper weight to
this sober study Of applied sociology 1t
will be necessary to cite few Iurid In
stances from the career Of our friend,
William Henry Binks. When Binks
was considerably younger than he is
now, and before the flight OF time had
rubbed the once luxuriant herbage
from the corners of his forehead and
marked that same forehead with vari-
Gus and sundry longitudinal dimples,
he had been considerable of a rounder.

HIS TRAINING
By Harry Preston

I did" said he. You see all those
years when 1 dwelt at the mines with
only the society of half-breeds and
Greasers have done their full work.
In the society of such women as your
sister I'm as bashful as a school
boy"
She looked at him and a frank
smile curved the corners of her mouth.
I'll help you" she said. "If you
were like the other men here I'd never
offer my services; but you're so big and
good-natured and so helpless. I'll take
pity on YOU"
Thanks" he said. 'I need help bad
ly. What do you intend to do?"
Educate you," she said, "or educate
the fear Of women out Of you. / be-
heve I'm the only girl here you're not
afraid Of"
May ask for some hints as to your
methods" he said.
"I'll serve as dummy and Instructor
In one" she explained. You must de-
vote two weeks to me. Begin as If you
had just met me: take me driving and
to the dances and all that sort of thing.
In short, make love to me and finally
propose. I'll watch you carefully and
give you points. When you've taken
your diploma In this course strike out
for Man."
Hicks Strengthened himself on the
veranda ra0.
I'm awfully grateful to you," he
said with conviction. IT'S no end kind
of you to take this interest and trou-
bic. When do we begin?"
No time like the present." she
laughed. You may go down to the

edly as she went into the house to
array herself for the drive.
The next two weeks were busy ones
for Hicks. He was devotion itself to
the younger Miss Rodman. He took
her to the Casino dances and sent her
endless supplies of candy and fiow-
ers. They drove together through
the surrounding country; they poked
about the river in a punt. and dis
covered all sorts of jolly retreats and
quaint little lovers hooks.
The elder Miss Rodman looked on
with condescending approval. She be-

wasn't because he didn't make sum-

a young man he had large and well
assorted knowledge of mixed drinks
and could give the ordinary dispenser
of liquid refreshments points on the
proper manner Of compounding liquid
concoctions that were warranted to
keep out the cold and multiply the
number of objects visible to the naked
eye. It must not be understood from
this that Bill was common drunkard:
as a matter OF fact he was a most un-
common drunkard. The only thing that
saved him from the reproach OF fall
ing OF the water wagon was the fact
that he never got on 1t.
But decreasing the worlds visible
supply of spiritus frumenti was not
Bills only activity. He labored under
the impression that he knew a good
horse when he saw 1t, an impression
