Fable of Two Fleas. .

Two fleas were once sitting on a
dog who was wandering about the
streets, when one of them said:
Brother. what a degraded, half
starved lot is ours! Here we have
chosen to unite ourselves to a COM
mon street cur who wanders from al
ley to alley. We see nothing but the
most dismal sights. We hear no ele-
waiting conversation or delightful
small talk. Surely there ought to be
something better in store for us than
this"
you are right" said the second
flea. Look, my brother; here is a
carriage approaching. 1t is evident-
ly some high-born lady bent on a
charitable enterprise. In her lap sits
such a beautiful little terrier. Let
us, therefore, make an effort to bet
ter ourselves"
"Splendidi" said the first flea.
1--WE will live amid the most luxur-
ious surroundings. We will feed on
the fat of the land We will sleep at
night In a clean bed"
And so in a few bold but success
full jumps as the carriage stopped
they both landed simultaneously on
the back of the terrier. In short
time they were driven to their new
| home.
So delighted were they with their
new life that the two fieas could
hardly contain themselves for Joy.
Their manifestations, however,
were so unusual that the terrier
frantically scratched himself, which
attracted the attention OF his mis-
tress, who Immediately sent for a
physician, who at once gave the dog
such radical treatment that the two
feas were slowly drowned in horri-
BILE fluid that came like food and
surprised them before they were able
to get away.
"Alas! brother" said the first
flea, as he gave dying gasp, why
could we not have been satisfied with
our humble lot?"
Moral: Some folks never know
when to let well enough alone.xLife

TEACHING THE INFANT.
The Mission of the Toy I'm Education
Admitted by Science.

Toy making seems to have reached
about as near the zenith of its possi-
bilities as have any Of the practical
arts.
To-day, as much as ever in the evo-
luton OF the toy, the thing desired In
to hold childish attentions largely
through the stimulation of the imag-
ination.
The first toy OF the aboriginal baby
doubtless was something that caught
the infant eye and which ratified ao-
ceptably to the infant ear. After
5000 years there have been few i'm
provements in principle and form of
the toy attracting the infant.
In some Of the lower types OF hu-
manity there is a marked precocity
In the infant and small child.
But this precocity in the youth far
down the scale has had its influences
upon the imaginations and inventive
ness of the lower orders of men and
women. The same spirit and incen-
tive that have come right up with
man to the present when the perfec-
tion of toy that in miniature Will
do all that the practical, useful ma
chine accomplishes for the adult may
involve a higher inventive and con-
structive ability.
In all times the one appealing
quality in the toy, after its possessor
has reached an observing age, is that
1t enables the little one to play the
grown up. Before small bit OF hu-
manity can desire to play at some
real activity In the life of his parents.
his imagination Will have to be slim
ulated; and once stimulated to the
thought, there are evidences that a
too nearly perfect mechanical device
to that end is robbing tho youngsteF
of some of the most pleasurable po3-
sibilities In the game of nake-believe.
Thirty years ago, when a daily
newspaper sold universally for FIVE
cents, doll that cost 81 was regard
ed as worthy OF society note; to-
day with the daily paper selling for
one or two cents, doll that costs
SIS or $40 is commonplace In the
larger cities, says the Chicago Tri-
bune.
1t is to be doubted II the active in
fuences OF the Juveniles have been
exerted widely toward this elabora-
ton of the toy. Rather it has been
the influence Of the inventive older
person who has anticipated q market
for the more intricate, larger and
more costly production. In doing SO
he has appealed TO the adult buyer
who, having passed his imaginative
stage Of existence, is almost uniyer-
sally likely to be attracted to the ma
terlal accomplishment of the man
who makes toys for children after a
mans own ideas OF what children
should coyet and conserve.
The best end To be served by the
toy will not be reached until In ono
way or another the toy is relegsted
TO that first great end of stimulating
healthy imagination in the child.

How a Fire May Start.

The account of the way a fire
started, as printed by the New York
Post, shows that many mysterious
fires which are generally supposed
to be of incendiary origin may very
easily have been caused by an acci.
dent. No one can be too careful
about fires, matches, etc.
The ease with which a fire may be
started and the apparently inexplic.
able cause which may produce one
are both emphasized by happening
In an uptown house last week. The
mistress of the house was seated in
the extension parlor in the afternoon
alone and perfectly quiet, when with
out warning a hanging bookshelf
broke from its fastenings and slipped
to the floor. On It's way 1t struck a
small table standing beneath it and
knocked over box of matches, ignit-
ing two or three of them. These few
on, one touching the light gauze
scarf which had hung from the table,
which fell blazing against the lace
curtain near by. The frightened
screams of the mistress brought a
servant, and It took energetic meas.
ures on the part of the two women
to extinguish the rapidly spreading
fire. Had the room been untenanted,
as 1t had been all the morning and
would have been again fifteen min
utes later, It would have been a case
of fire department succor to have
saved the house.

Make Your Adyertlsing Attractiye.

Make Your Advertising Attractive,
George G.. Sherwood, of the Blairs-
town Iowa) Record. is a newspaper
man of observing habit, and in con-
sequence has original and decided
opinions upon wide variety of SUBJ
jects. In expressing his views OF
newspaper management he writes:
''The same as all other business in
stitutions, the newspaper, to be sue
cessful. must have each department
dnder systematic management, but
the advertising columns are the as
sets-the vital point.
"The average country editor does
everything from swiping the press to
writing copy, and when business
slacks up, he slacks up with 1t in
stead of going to Bill Jones, whose
'ad' hasn't changed for two or three,
or possible eight or ten, weeks and
getting something live for the space
There is the point. Advertising mat
ter must be attractive. And to make
it attractive. the 'ad' must be we'll
written, well set, and changed every
week. The people won't read an 'ad'
twice any more than they will an
obituary or a half-column write-up
of church sociable. They won't
read any farther than the first line
in the second round. Half your
patrons do not take much stock In
advertising, but with persistent push
ing and your personal attention
given to the attractiveness of their
space, the result is bound to bring
about the realization of the value OF
advertising. II Systematically worked
to the end. Present the real points
to your advertisers, and present them
often, and your 'ad' space will not be
vacant, your health will be better,
and you can lock your door on the
kid with the dreaded sight draft"
