Two Errors of Speech.

The editor desires to call boys
and girls attention to two little er-
rors of speech that they should
avoid. One is the common mispro-
nunciation of the word 'recess" by
accenting the first syllable. Re
member that it is the last syllable
that should have the accent. The
other error is in the spelling of the
word "veranda." Many persons,
good writer's among them, spell it
"verandah," but that is wrong. Mel
ther Webster nor Worcester men
tons the last form in any way, but
the Century Dictionary and the
Standard give it as a variant. They
do this perhaps in recognition of its
common use, for the 81" is not in
the original oriental form nor in
any of the foreign languages--Chi-
cago News.

The Biggest EGG.

In the seventeenth century ma
tives of Madagascar used to visit
the lie de France to buy rum, which
they carried away in vessels formed
from the eggshells of the extinct
epiornis. These shells, Of which
some have been preserved in Euro
pean museums, measure three feet
in circumference and hold over two
gallons, six times as much as an os-
trich egg or $50 times as much as
an ordinary hens egg. Eggs of the
now extinct moa have been found
which measured twenty-seven inches
in circumference, so that the os-
trich is a bad third in the size of
its eggs.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How a Pudding Was Boiled in River
A True Story.

A True Story.
In the year 1900 very curious
wager was made by man named
James Austin. He had asserted
that he could boil pudding in the
Thames. Some of his friends or
acquaintance very naturally be-
lieved that such feat was quite
impossible. Their differences of
opinion ended, as such differences
usually did in those days, in a heavy
wager being made. Strange as it
may appear, Austin won the bet
without any trickery or subterfuge
How was it done?
The operation was, after all, very
simple and was carried out at lit
tie cost. Austin inclosed his pud-
ding in a large tin pan, and this he
placed in a sack of qnicklime. The
sack was lowered ten feet down into
the waters of the Thames near
Rotherhithe. The water Stacked
the quicklime, which gave out suffi-
cient heat to cook the pudding IN
the pan. The pudding was taken
up after it had been in the water
about two hours and a half, and it
was eaten and enjoyed, being, if
anything, a little overdone.-Chat-
terbox.

The c@taurs.

The fable that the Centaurs were
half man and half horse, like many
other old myths, had its origin in
reality. 1t grew out of the horse
back riding habit of the Thessali-
ans. People who had never seen a
horse before took the horse and the
man for one being. That is what
the American Indians thought when
they first saw the Spaniards on
horseback.

there. If the exigency arises, and
We can be assured there are no SWEET
