THE CALL OF THE WILD.

The call of the wild has come to the
the story comes from Midway Isle. The
cat was a great favorite aboard the
Iroquois when in Honolulu, but at one
time when the tug was to sail for
become a member of the marine garri-
son on the lonely cable island. On
reaching Midway. Mr. Tom Cat OBJ
jected to giving up his berth aboard the
tug. He resisted the effort to reas-
sign him to Uncle Sans service else
where. But like all good sailors who
serve on the American warships whoi
may kick at being changed from one |
place to another, he was eventually |
taken ashore and turned over to the |
marine guard. The spirit of resent |
ment did not leave Mr.. Tom Cat, how
ever, and he gradually began to live |
apart from the sea soldiers. The
daintieSt morsels from the garrison
failed to hold him, and at last he dis
appeared. And then came trouble. |
Chickens also disappeared and after
q while the garrison came to the con-
clusion that their erstwhile companion
had become a midnight marauder and1
preyed upon them in the dark of the
moon for his livelihood. He became
mere camp follower, a vagabond, and
finally it was decided that Mr.. Tom
Cat, being a deserter from the service,
should be treated as a deserter. His
raids were numerous, but no one could
ever see him at the right time to sight
q gun at him. Soldiers searched
among the sand dunes, but the willy
cat learned to conceal himself effectu-
ally. He has returned to the life of
his earliest progenitors and is now re-
sarded only as thing to be hunted
down.

There is probably no disease that causes so much phsical and mental agony, or which so successfully deties medical aid, All dsnger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy.

" WHEN HE CONFETTI"

If the little ones walk with bruised feet,
If we have not smoothed their way,
If they've stumbled alone
Over briar and stone
OH what will the Master say?
Servant of God we'll done
When He cometh at setting of sun?
If their sweet young faces are couded.
If their eyes bedimmed with tears.
If their spirits broken
BY harsh words spoken
Will their cry come up to His ears?
Oh, what will the Master say
When He cometh ut close of the day?
Their angels in heaven behold
The face of my Father always
Do they watch from above
With a tireless love,
Lest the little ones go astray?
In the eve, when the Master shall come.
Will they gather the little ones home?

A Paper Magnet.

A simple and electrical ex-
pertinent may be made with a sheet of
ordinary brown paper. illustrating in a
remarkable manner how the most as
tonishing effects may be produced by
the simplest means. Take a sheet of
coarse brown paper, and after holding
it before the fire until 1t is perfectly
dry, fold it up into a long strip about
two inches in width. That makes your
magnet. To show its attractive power,
cut some strips Of writing paper about
three inches in length, and one-eighth
Of an inch wide, and put them on the
table, three or four together. Now take
your paper magnet, and draw it brisk
ly under your arm three or four times !;
this will instantly develop its electro
magnetism. and If you hold 1t over the
little strips Of paper. they will fly up
to meet 1t. In other words, the cleo
tricity that you waken In the strip Of
brown paper will attract the smaller
strips Of paper just as regular mag
net attracts needle.

Fish that Perch on Trees.

"As much out of place as a fish out
Of water" is phrase that comes about
as near expressing the acme Of incom-
patibility, SO far as environment Is con-
cerned, as man has ever been able to
coin. Despite this fact, however, there
are several varieties of fish which are
much more at home out of their nat
ural element than any species Of the hui
man race are In water.
The climbing perch (Anabas scan
dens) Is remarkable example found
in Asia. This singular creature ap-
pears much like other perch, but is en-
dowed with. an extraordinary power Of
leaving failing streams, climbing banks,
and proceeding over dry land i'm quest
of better filled water courses.
Hundreds Of them have been seen at
a distance Of fifty or sixty yards from
pool just abandoned, and travelling.
though the ground was so rough that
this distance must have required suffi-
cient muscular exertion to take them
half mile over level ground.
Some writer's even assert that this
fish is capable of climbing the rough
stems Of palm trees. The fishermen Of
the Ganges, who subsist largely ON
climbing perch, are accustomed to keep
them In dry earthen pans for five or six
days after catching, and they live this
strange life without discomfort.-Den-
yer Times.

A Costly Comma.

Most boys and girls are inclined to
underestimate the value of punctuation
marks, and as for the little comma
they think that is too Insignificant to be
seriously considered. How great mis-
take this is may be learned from the
following incident: When Congress
was making tariff bill, several years
ago, one of the sections enumerated
what articles should be admitted free
Of duty. Among the articles specified
were all foreign fruit-plants," etc.
meaning plants imported for trans
planting. propagation or experiment
The enrolling clerk, In copying the bill
accidentally changed the hyphen in the
compound word, "fruit-plants," to O
comma, making it read "all foreign
fruit, plants" etc. As a result Of this
simple error, for year, or until Con
gress could remedy the blunder, all the
oranges. lemons, bananas, grapes and
other foreign fruits were admitted free
Of duty. This little error cost the gov
eminent not less than $2,OOO,OOO. A
pretty costly comma, that

United States and Japan. The Russian
foreign Office has been subjected to
steady pressure upon the part of JAP
an to secure these far reaching rights.
The result is that the idea has been
created at the Russian foreign office
that Japan might make her ambitions
the occasion for a renewal of the war
with Russia. This idea pervades the
conversations which the Russian for

Among German military and naval

the professional views appear to agree
that Japan would take the Philippine

across the Pacific prolonged sea and
land campaigns which would call for
immense expeditions against natural
obstacles.
