Tho First Steps.

Before encouraging children to use
their feet we should look to their
actual strength, not deciding how far
they should be urged to- walk by the
actual number of months they have
lived. If a young child once acquires
the art of crawling, it will soon do
more, and try to use its legs. It will
soon raise. itself by the support of a
chair or stool, will then .totter up from
one side of it to the other, holding it.

this kind, the limbs will gain the re-
quisite power, and the infant will gain
courage to trust to that power; then

ance. This should be given By: hold

Worst Day, of the Week.


A German statistician has come to
the rescue of those persons who do not
share the widespread superstition that
Friday is the most unlucky day of the
week. A short time ago he determined
to make a scientific investigation of
the question, utilizing for the purpose,
among other things, the records of the
department of compulsory insurance.
The most fatal or, unfortunate week
day, according to the Investigator, is
not Friday, but Monday. Sixteen and
seventy-four hundredths per cent of all
accidents, it seems, occurred on that
day, 1851 per cent on Tuesday, 1854
per cent on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent
on Thursday, 1888 per cent on Friday,
the same on Saturday and 2.69 per cent
On Sunday. 1t IS interesting, however,
to- know that the compiler attributes
the large relative number of accidents
on Monday to the excessive amount Of
liquor consumed: on Sunday STRAY

Organtst of :Westmtnstor Abbey.

DR.. Bridge, the organist of West
minister Abbey, is jocularly known as
Westminster Bridge : He is one OF
the funny men of the, English musical
profession, says Tid-Bits. Some time
ago he went to open a new organ in
the country. After he had finished his
recital one Of the music committee
asked him how he liked the instru-
ment. The action was very stiff and
heavy, and DR.. Bridge told him so.
"Oh, well!" was the reply, 'our organ
ist is very strong young man. The
exercise will do him good.' Dr..
Bridges house is in the old Littlihg-
ton tower of the abbey, and he sleeps
in the old prior's bedroom, date 1864.
Mrs. Bridge is a charming and accom-
plished lady, a niece Of the late Baron
Amphlett. She and her husband are
both very fond Of fishing. There is an
annual competition between them for
the biggest fish; but Mrs. Bridge has
been cautious since she learned that
before putting his fish on the scales
he had pumped good bit of lead
down its throat.

PLUcKED HIS GAUDY FEATHERS
Revenge OF u Turkey Gobbler Upon

Revenge OF Turkey Gobbler Upon =
valnglorious Peacock.
From the Galveston News: r have
always believed" the colonel said,
that animals have far more in
telllgence than they are commonly
credited with. am sure they can talk
to one another. A case in point: You
see that turkey gobbler and hen out
there? Let me tell you an actual fact
about them. L. M. Johnson presented
me with very handsome peacock. He
was splendid bird, and the beauty OF
his plumage was the wonder of the
neighDorhood. One afternoon I saw
him strutting around and making a
magnificent display of his gorgeous
tail feathers Mrs. Turkey looked on
admlringly for a while, and trotted
over to where gobbler was quietly nap
ping under peach tree. They were
engaged for moment in earnest con-
Versation. Then Mr.. Gobbler straight
ened himself up, stiffened his wings,
gave strut and proudly spread his
tail feathers. Madame gave a con-
temptuous toss of her head and evil
IDENTIFY laughed at him. could see the
fire in the gobbler's eye, and told Mr..
Boubel, my engineer, who was with
me at the time, to look out and we
would see some fun, and we did. That
gobbler marched straight over to
where the peacock was still piroueting
and admiring the CLINT of his iri-
descent plumage, pounced on him and
never let up until he had picked out
the last feather of that gorgeous tail.
l gathered up the feathers. put them
| together and gave them to Mrs. Gunni-
son. You can go over the river and
see them if you want confirmation OF
the story. The poor peacock, after the
loss of his tail, took no more interest
in life, but pinned away and died in less
than a month.

From the Kobe Herald: Rudyard
kipling made one voyage around the
world avowedly as a globe trotter. 1t
was in 1889. He was at that time a.
reporter for the Pioneer, published at
Allahabad, and also did work for the
Military Gazette. In the early spring
OF that year he set out by way Of Chi
ma and Japan to visit America and
England. At regular intervals he
wrote letters describing what he: saw.
"Nagasaki is inhabited entirely by
children. The grown-ups exist on suf-
terance. A four-foot child walks with
three-foot child, who is holding the
hand of a two-foot child, who carries
on her back a one-foot child, who-but

sash, baby and but little bigger brother

mother do this, and it was for all the
world like the peeling of hardboiled
eggs. His description of his first
