An Impossible Servant.

Anna Katherine Green, the we'll
known novelist, discussed the servant
question at a recent dinner party in
New York.
'.tServants, as a Glass;" she said,
"are excellent. I have no sympathy
with those women who say it is i'm
possible to get good servants. I adj
nit, though, that now and then an i'm
possible servant turns up.
can impossible servant, a cook,
turned up at the house of a friend
of mine last week. This cook was
from New Hampshire state, noted, l
believe, for the naughty pride of it's
inhabitants, be they rich or poor. She
came to my friend with a high recon.
mendation from an employment
agency, but as soon as she entered
the house she began to ask the most
impairment questions.
my friend answered her questions
with civility,. but in the end they
reached point where civility would
no longer serve.

they meet a flock, knowing that the
dog will defend bravely the creatures
Entrusted to him, that he is vigilant,
and that his fine sense of smell will
bring him upon them long before the
herdsman is aware of them, they at
proach, warily keeping out of sight;
then one of them abruptly shows him
self and attracts the attention of the
dog, who rushes upon the wolf and
pursues it with such eagerness he
does not perceive that during this
time the second thief has seized a
sheep and dragged it into the wood.
The dog finally gives. up his attempt
to vie in swiftness with the fugitive
and returns to his flock. Then the
two confederates again meet and
share their prey. In other cases a
wolf will hunt with his mate.
When they wish to take a roebuck,
one of the pair-the male, for example
follows it and directs the chase so
as to make the prey pass near place
where the female is hidden. She then
springs forward and continues the
chase while the male wolf rests. It is
a veritable organized relay race. OF
necessity the strength of the roe is
exhausted, and he cannot equal the
ardor which his pursuer, quite fresh,
displays in the chase. He is taken and
put to death. The male has meanwhile
approached the place of the feast in
a more leisurely manner and comes
to claim his share of the booty.

steady, and it will burn until nothing
remains, always rising above the sur
face of the water by reason of the
decrease in weight.
2. TAX small picture cut from
a paper or book, and wrap it lightly
round a candle. Light a match or
another candle and hold the flame
near until it becomes transparent
Unwrap the picture and every one
will be surprised to find it printed
on the candle.
3. Put candle unlighted into
basin full of water. Let several try
to take it out with their mouths not
touching the candle with their hands
Everyone will fail. Then you put
your face in the, water, and when
your mouth is near the end of the
candle draw in deep breath and the
suction of the water will draw the
candle into your mouth. ,
4. Allow some drops from a light
ed candle turned upside down to fall
into a basin of cold water. The
grease will form flowers. String
these On the end of a wire, and green
leaves made from paper, and a very
interesting plant will be the result.
S. Heat a piece of wire and stick
it through the middle of a candle.
Make wick at both. ends. Balance
the candle on two tumblers. Light
the wicks, and the dropping of the
!! candle grease will make the candle
seesaw, getting faster and faster as
it grows hotter. This is very pref
ty experiment.. and will cause a great
deal of amusement to young and old
| alike.

that count to win. The first player
spins the dial, and when the hands
stop, counts up the time to his own
score. Remember; he wants to make
his aggregate of time reach twenty
four hours just as quickly as he can,
for there are others on the next spin
who are opposing him. The first
player may get as count by the hands
ten minutes after 12-then he puts to
his credit twelve hours and ten min
utes.
The next player spins the hands and
puts down his count, and so on until
all those who are in the game have
had their turn, when it comes back to
the first player.
1t may not always be possible to
make the exact count at the end of the
game; that is, it may run ten minutes
after the twenty-four or ten minutes
before, but the first player to go be-
yond his time limit wins in the game.

Get the SAVING Habit.

''Take care of the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves, -
and Good principles and good habits
are in themselves fortune are good
maxims
And how can we take care of the
pennies, do you ask? Taking care of
things means not wasting them heed
lessly. Pennies in our pockets often
need taking care of when we are pass
ing slot machines and candy shops.
They have fashion of dropping into
these places where they bring US little
or no return. Waste produces want
and misery, whereas thoughtful econo-
my creates good habits. Habits grow
into character and good principles and
good habits are indeed fortune in a
mental and moral as we'll as in a
financial way. When we learn to
deny ourselves foolish indulgences so
that we may save money and time for
some good use, we feel satisfaction
and self-responsibility that gives life
an added joy.

Self-ReIiance a Good Teacher.

We often find that boys who have
educated themselves in the country,
almost without schooling or teachers,
make the most vigorous thinkers.
They may not be quite as polished or
cultivated, in some ways, but they
have something better than polish,
and that is mental vigor, originality
Of method, and independence. They
do not lean upon their schooling, or
depend upon their diplomas; neces-
sity has been their teacher, and they
have been forced to act for them
selves and be PRACTICAL; they know
little of theories, but they know what
will work. They have gained power
by solving their own problems. Such
self-educated, self-made men carry
weight in their communities because
they are men of power and think Wig.
orously and strongly; they have
learned to concentrate the mind.
Self-help is the only help that will
make strong, vigorous lives. Self-re-
lance is great educator and early
poverty is good teacher. Necessity
has ever been the priceless spur
which has called man out of himself
and.spurred him on to his goal. =
Grit is more than a match for al
most any handicap. 1t overcomes OBJ
staclesA and abolishes difficulties. It
is the man who makes an opportunity
and does not wait for 1.-THE man who
helps himself and does not wait to be
helped-that makes the strong think
er and vigorous operator.
It is he who dares to be himself and
to work by his own program, without
initiating others, who wins.-Montreal

ABILITY of Insects,

There was certain little fly that
was observed to run three inches and
make, in doing it, 440 steps-all in
one-half a second of time. To equal
this in proportion to his size a man
would have to run at the rate of
twenty miles minute.
The common flea leaps 200 times
its own length. To show like agility
a man six feet tail would have to leap
distance of 1900 feet. The cheese
mite is about one-quarter of an inch
in length, yet it has been seen to
take the tip of it's tail in it's mouth
nd then, letting go with a jerk, to
leap out of vessel six inches in
depth. To equal this a man would
have to Jump out of a we'll from a
depth of IA feet.

thread of silver white, veritable ca
bic, bent in zigzag. What could pos
sibly be the use Of this? One could
watch the web for long time without
seeing the creature make use of it;
when victim is taken, the spider is
content to wind him about with small
threads. Yet the cable is undoubted-
ly Of use to the spider, for if it is re-
moved he hastens to make another
M. Vinson at last, after long observa-
ton, succeeded in solving the ques-
ton. One day when he was examin-
ing for the hundredth time the tricks
and the manners of the spider, he saw
a great grasshopper jump into the
midst of the web. At the same instant
the spider, darting upon the cable, be-
gan with the greatest swiftness to
wrap it about the insect The victim
was too large to be held by the sim
pie threads; the cable was there to
bind him securely
The ant eater depends less on the
power of skill, and, like a child, lines
his game. He puts out his long sticky
tongue and fattens it on the ground;
all the insects that pass stick to it,
vying with each other, and when the
heap is sufficiently thick, the ant eater
draws his long tongue in and swallows
them all. At other times he plunges
his lingual appendix into ant hills and
draws it back laden with ants
Coursing is frequent among mann
mails, notably among wild dogs,
wolves, and foxes. According to F..
Houssay, wild dogs follow their prey
in immense packs. They excite one
another by their bayings at the same
time that they brighten the game and
half paralyze it's power. No animal is
agile nor strong enough to be sure of
escaping them. They surround him
and cut off his retreat in a most skill
full manner; gazelles, antelopes, de-
spite an extreme lightness and swift
ness, are Overtaken at last; wild boars
are quickly run down; their rough de-

their life, but these also become the
prey of the pack that falls upon the
quarry. In Asia these wild dogs are
not afraid to attack even the tiger.
Many, without doubt, have their backs
broken by blow from his paw, or are
strangled by being seized by his jaws,
but the death of comrades does not
diminish either the courage or the
hunger of the surviving assailants.
Their number is such, moreover, that

absurd. For if the animal shot its
quilts away at enemy No. 1, what was
it to do when. enemy No. 2 came
along? The quilts drop out easily,
and are shed periodically, and this
may have given rise to the popular
delusion.. But they are useful for at
tack or defense, all the same. BY
drawing it's skin together the quilts
are raised, and very nasty barrier
a foe finds them. The porcupine does
not believe in front attacks. 1t charges
either sideways or backwards, wheel
ing round rapidly, so as always to
have his back to the enemy. The
quilts, prettily marked with black and
white rings, are much used as pen
holders, and very light they are, too.

'sHe was talkative youth. He gave
over the whole afternoon to a discus

pointed out two phrases in Jowett's
Symposium and Republic that he con.

he found some little fault with the
notes. Prof. Jowett, he held, did not
give in these notes a quite adequate
exposition of the Platonic philosophy
