Everybody works but mother,
She sits around all day
Never does her cooking
In the slow old fashioned way

Every body works at our house

PRAYED For More Snakes.

In a rural town in Michigan
lived family named Beaver noted
for their hardihood in all manner
of naughtiness. They were the
great torment of the minister's life.
Finally one of the boys was bit by
a rattlesnake and sent for him. He
found the lad greatly scared and
very penitent. After some CONVEX
sation the reverend gentleman
closed the interview by prayer.
go Lord" he began, eve thank
thee for rattlesnakes. We thank
thee that a rattlesnake has bit Jim
Send another, we pray thee, to bite
Tom and one to bite Joe. And, @
Lord, send the biggest kind of u
rattlesnake to bite the old man, for
nothing less than rattlesnakes will
bring this Beaver family to repent
ance."- Metaphysical Magazine.

Left It All to Noah.

A good story is told with refer
ence to the publication of a certain
Biblical dictionary. The editor is
said to have given the article on the
deluge to what he considered safe
hand, but when the article was sent
in it was found to contain views
which would certainly have shocked
orthodox readers. What could be
done? The volumes had to be pub
ished forthwith. In this dilemma
he put in his dictionary, 'Deluge--
see food" This, at any rate, post
poned the difficulty, and the article
on the food was given out to
writer who it was thought could be
better trusted. But when this sec
ond article came in it was found
to be worse than the first, and an
other postponement was necessary.
The new volume contained another
reference, ''Flood-see Noah," the
bewildered editor trusting that by
the time Noah was reached he would
succeed in finding a man who would
be able to mingle science and or
thodoxy in due degrees.-London

Oxfordshire, were granted him upon

the feast of St. Michael he was to

Arctic Birds.

It has been a source of interest
and wonder to arctic explorers to
find such quantities of singing birds
within the arctic circle. They are
abundant beyond belief. But the
immense crops of cranberries, crow
berries and cloudberries that ripen
in the northern swamps account for
the presence of the birds. The ber-
ries are preserved in the snow,
which begins to melt about the time
the songsters appear, and then they
feast. royalty on the crystallized
fruits nature has so marvelously
kept for them.

WHY WE DO SOME THINGS.
Certainly Not Because We Look Pretty
When We Do Them.

Certainly Not Because We Look Pretty
When We DO Them.
A man does not take off his hat
to a lady because he looks nicer
without it. The instance of bald
men would be alone sufficient to up
set such an explanation.
He does it because you must posi-
lively do something when you meet
a lady or your whole civilization
goes to pieces, and taking off your
hat is easier than taking off your
necktie or lying face downward on
the pavement.
The primary point is that you
must do something, not that you
must do something beautiful. And
as long as cultivated people cannot
grasp this fact they will find their
efforts quite futile in dealing with
what they often consider the dull
ness of the middle classes or the
vulgarity and morbidity of the
poor.
In so far as the bourgeois thinks
it more important to wear Sunday
hat than a becoming hat he is per-
fectly right. 1t is more important;
the religion of the tribe is more i'm
portant than the pretty appearance
of Mr.. Jones.
In SO far. as the charwoman thinks
it more important that her husband
should have proper" funeral than
a pretty funeral she is perfectly
right. 1t is more important. De
corum is as permanent a human
sentiment as art and a much more
pressing one. Any healthy savage
would understand the charwoman's
sentiments exactly and perhaps
alarm her with demonstrations of
barbaric approval.
He would also understand per-
fectly the sentiment of a Sunday
hat. I believe in savages myself.
| think that in great many mat
tiers they represent the enduring
common sense and moral minimum
of humanity. There is nothing
which I so sincerely respect in saw
ages as their widespread and gener-
ally ascertained disposition to wear
top hats.-London Illustrated News.

SONS. There he passed the time of
his fIrlough, amused and distracted
by the pretty airs and graces of his
winsome girl-wife. Butterfly was
devoted and planned her life to please
his every whim. She sent away her
friends and kinfolk, renowned the
religion of he1 fathers, secluded her
self from all associates, and sacrificed
her right of protection from her fam
lily. But her happiness was brief.
Her hero gaily sailed away at the ex-
piration of his term with a promise to
return when the robins nest again.
Desertion constitutes divorce in
Japan, and the officer considered
himself released from lis wedding con-
tract. But Butterfly, sitting day by

laughed ana chatted to her maid and
lovingly awaited his return. Then

with no news from the absent one.
Disowned by her own family, scorn' d
by her former associates, attended by
her maid, Suzuki, who alone remained
faithful, she watched and waited un-

face to face with the new American
wife of the lieutenant. Heartbroken,
she slowly made her way to the doll
like house on the heights and pre-

the laughing child, she offered up a
