Wonderful Miniature Book.

The smallest bound book in the great
collection of miniature books owned by
the New York Library society is cam
paign document issued in 1852. 1t

che smallest volume in the great col

one of the tiniest books in existence.
1t contains but fourteen leaves, each
of which is closely printed on both
sides in microscopic type. Each leaf
is one and one-half inches in length

In the far north, with its intense
cold, it seems that there can be but
little pleasure for the children, doomed
to pass their days among the almost
eternal snow beside the frozen ocean.
Yet even here life to these little people
has its enjoyments. and every season
brings to them its round of games and
sports
In summer a portion of the inhabit-
ants leave the winter villages and
scatter along the coast for the purpose
of hunting and fishing. Others go to
distant points along the coast and
trade OIL guns, tobacco. powder, lead
etc, with natives of the interior. re-
ceiving in payment valuable furs and
the skins of reindeer, which they use
exclusively for clothing. At these
meetings a round of feasting and
games is INDUCED in before any trad
ing is done. Whenever a camp is made
the little folk will be found with their
bows and arrows shooting grass birds.

Cease Worrying Over the Inevitable
and Court COntentment.
How full the world is of grumblers!
Many of the same people who scold in
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old if we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in.
evitable. The truly happy are the hap
py go lucky, who take everything as it
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains. all that is left to do is to
put up our umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, if there is something
within US too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly ON the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
ond be glad it is no worse.

"Strange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes a Scotch hunt
er. Il hind in CaithnesS came 10 some
crofteI"s hut near the forest and was
poking about To see if there was any
thing she could pick up when she found
an old tin pail lying in some out OF the
way corner In went her hose ana
down came the handle behind her ears.
Then somehow the whole pail slipped
down her neck, and there she was,
caught. She was seen several times
with her strange necklace. which pre-
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly. The clatter when she got
under way was tremendous, and the
other deer were frightened fer miles,
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made on her life, but never heard the
sequel. Anyhow, she must have dleo
soon from nervous prostration, coupled
with the shock, or from some ladyliEe
disease of that sort"

What Elephants Eat.

All the elephants used in the Indian
army as draft animals in the artillery
or commissariat or as baggage animals
in the transport department are very
carefully attended to and in every way
treated with the greatest considera-
ton. They are rather expensive to
keep. costing about f3 a day. including,
of course, the wages of their mahout
and grass cutter They are fed prin-
cipally on unhusked rice and grass
OF the former they get about go
pounds and of the latter about 400 per
diem. A very large female eats, after
the first day or two, about $50 pounds
of green fodder in eighteen hours.
This is exceeded often by larger tusk-
ers. so that 500 pounds is about the
right amount 10 be placed before full

elephant is about 800 pounds, it will

portion for the smaller ones.-London

The Earle In Scotland.

The eagle has grown scarce in the
British isles. An old record states that
in the seasons 1S21-34, inclusive no
fewer than III mature specimens of
the eagle. together with tifty-three
young and eggs. were destroyed in a
single county of Scotland-Sutherland
from which statement one can we'll
imagine the cruel havoc that has been
wrought in the ranks of once very
common bird of prey. No one denies
that the eagle is destructive to game
and lambs, but it seems a pity that so
noble bird should be so utterly wiped
out of existence for the eagle has many
interesting associations with the past.
In Scotland a century or two back
three eagles feathers were the badge
of a chief. two of chieftain and one
of a gentleman, but more interesting
still Is the fact that the flesh of the
eagle was considered in the seven
teenth century "a valuable medicine
against the govt" The same authority
also states that the bird was some
times eaten by the hardy highlander as
part of his ordinary diet.

Snake Hunting With Noses,

When the Australian aborigine is
pushed and can find no other game, he
catches snakes for food. With his won.
derful brown eyes he can see the faint
est trail where a snake has ZigZagged
through the dry moss and leaves. At
nighttime his broad nostrils take up
the chase. and, STOPPING down among
the bushes. with a tough forked stick
in his hand TO support him, he follows
the track as unerringly as a blood
hound. When he runs q snake to earth,
if he cannot surprise it in the open and
kill it by sudden blow of his stick,
he squats over its hole, making a low
kissing or whistling sound with his
lips. Soon the snake puts its head out
of the hole and peers Nound. In an in
slant the forked stick descends and
fixes it TO the ground by the neck, and
the black fellow. seizing it behind the
head, so that it cannot bite him, drags
it out of the hole and either twists its
head off or pounds it on the ground
till its back is broken.

THE FOOL.


Inere were two men who trod the NAV
The weary way Of Life;
The path that is hemmed in hv u,oo
And clamorings, and strife.
Inc way was rough: the way was long:
And many fell beside,
But one went straightly on his course
And held his head in pride.
They fall?" he asked. why should I
stop
10 raise them to their feet?
Is not the battle to the strong.
The race unto the fleet?
zach goes according to his strength;
some lead, and some are led
The goal is yet afar, for off,
And must press ahead"
The other paused to comfort them
Ihat feared the storm and stress:
Where sorrow was, he left the glow
Of sturdy cheerfulness.
And low! he came unto the goal
With him that forged ahead;
And there an angel with a book
Alternate wrote and read.
I'VE wait for YOU" the angel said.
I'm this our paradise.
You twain are entered in the book
One as a fool; one WISE"
The first man said: ITO win the goal
Alone has been my rule
The second sighed: Il never thought
OF that: I am the fool"
Yet, as they stood, there came a press
OF those they left behind
They gave the second all their praise
AS gentle, brave, and kind.
They bore him in with song and
shout
The wise man standing by.
