Mark Twain CAUGHT Out.

A poet, a pair of trousers across his
knee, sat in his attic trying to thread
a needle.
"The proper way" he said, sis to
hold the thread still and push the
needle toward it, or to hold the
needle still and push the thread
toward it. Mark Twain says both
are right; then he says both are
wrong"
Taking down "The Prince and the
Pauper," the poet read:
HE did as men have always done,
and probably always will do to the
end of t%imeAheld the needle still and
tried to thrust the thread through the
eye, which is the opposite of a wom-
ans way"
Then the poet, taking down "Huckle-
berry Finn" read:
".Rless you, child, when you set
out to thread a needle, don't hold the
thread still and fetch the needle up
to It; hold the needle still and poke
the thread at it-that's the way a
woman most always does; but a man
always does t'other way"

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD m BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
In buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes adj
vantage of the simple means of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
Of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the paint buyer
against fraud and ~adulteration that

to make a practical test Of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge

Micah the Prophet.-Full name Micaiah,
meaning: "Who is like Jehovah"
Parentage and tribe of prophet
unknown. He is distinguished from
Micaiah, son of Imlah, the con-
temporary of Elijah, by being desig-
mated as the Morasthite. that is, one
whose home was at Moresheth, a place
west of Jerusalem near the Philistine bor-
derland. AS the opening words of the
prophecy declare he prophesied during
reigns of lothian, Ahaz and HeZekiah, so
was a contemporary of Hosea and Amos
in Israel and Isaiah in Judah. There is
a tradition nat for rebuking Jehoram for
his impieties Micah was thrown from a
precipice and buried at Morathi. Omitting
the superscription, the prophecy falls in
to three natural divisions, each beginning
with the words: hear ye," and each be-
ginning with rebukes and threatenings
and ending with a promise. The first
section-chapters l and "opens with a
magnificent description of Jehovah come
to judgment for sins and idolatry of Is
rael and Judah. The second section
chapters 8 to Sis addressed especially
to the princes and heads of the people.
The predictions of this section form a
climax to the book, Ewald arranging
them in four strophes as follows:
Ais: 1882; $50, and 5:10-15. The last
section-chapters 6 and lis a bold poet
ical figure representing Jehovah as hold-
ing a controversy with his people. The
dialogue form of chapter 6 renders the
picture very dramatic and striking, and
the whole concludes with a triumphal
song of joy at the great deliverance Je-
hovah will achieve. The last verse was
quoted by Zacharias in his song, Luke

MOUNTAIN SLIDING.
A Hawaiian Small Boy Simply drops
Down the Edge of the Scenery"

Water sports are by no means the
only vigorous athletics INDUCED in by
the boys of Hawaii. Mountain climb
ing is a favorite pastime, for there
are peaks 1000 feet high within easy
walking distance of any part of Hon.
olulu, and on the Island of Hawaii
there are two mountains fully $4,000
feet in height. Sometimes the Homo
lulu schools give picnics on the noun
tain sides that the pupils may gather
land-shells. 1t is on these excursions
in search of land-shells that the Ha-
waiian sehoolboys revel in the once
national sport-mountain-sliding, ex-
plains a writer in st. Nicholas.
A very steep mountain side is Sc
lected, where the grass is long and
sloping downward. Every one gath
ers his own ii leaves-the ii leaf is
something like the banana leaf, but
not nearly so long. With a bunch of
ii leaves in his hand, the first boy
steps to the edge of the side, grasps
the leaves by the stems in both hands,
places the leafy part under him and
sits down, gives himself a start and
drops down the edge of the scenery
like a flash. | was assured that it was
an easy matter to regulate the speed
of descent, by merely grasping the
stems firmly and lifting them upward,
this acting as a brake. I longed for
the thrill of dropping down over the
edge of a mountain, and upon nv
brief sled of ii leaves began the de-
scent. | went like the wind; it
seemed as though my breath would
be taken away from me or that I
would plunge head over heels, to be
dashed to pieces among the trees be-
low. | thought of my brake and drew
up on tn ii leaves with all my might
and came up with a jerk that Jared
every bone in my body. There | sat,
looking downward almost p%erpendicu-
larly, held in position only by a few
ii leaves, resting on the smooth, slip
perry grass, but the sliding grass is
nearly a foot long, and it is only after
1t has been repeatedly slidden over
n beaten down that it approaches
perfection in the eyes of the Ha-
waiian small boy, and sometimes leads
to accidents when, for instance. the
thin layer of ii leaves wears out be-
meath the slide, a gentle tug at the
stalks parts the sled and sends the
slider whizzing downward in a most
uncomfortable and ungraceful man.

H PILLOW FIGHT.
Jack Initiates His Cousins Into tho
Mysteries of a Rough Game.

Eric and BERTHE were very pleased
when Jack came to stay with them,
because, as BERTHE said, Three can
play much better than two" At first
Jack was shy, and played quiet, gentle
games, but soon he began to want all
his W wav, and play games he made
up himself, and as he was a rough boy
he only liked rough games.
One day they made a beautiful fort
of bricks and blocks, and put soldiers
here and there, and little cannons
peeping through the walls. The rest
of the soldiers were made into an
army the other end Of the table, and
Jack had the fort and Eric and BERTHE
the army. But as soon as the soldiers
in the fort got knocked down Jack
lost his temper, and began to throw
bricks and blocks at the army, which,
of course, wasn't fair. One of the
blocks hit BERTHE on the head and
made him cry, and his mamma came
to see what was the matter, and said
they had better play something else.
Jack said he knew a nice game he
uSeH 10 play WITH MS niue SlSleTS.
The way to play was to have a fight,
and take each other prisoners; and
Jack was so rough he soon took BERTHE
and Eric prisoners, and tied their
hands and feet together, and put them
under the table. When nurse brought
up their lunch he only gave them half
a biscuit each anil had the rest him
self, because, he said, prisoners ought
eve to have enough to eat. That
night, when they went to bed, Jack
said they would have a pillow fight,
like the boys had at school. At first
BERTHE and Eric thought it was great
fun, for the pillows went flying about,
and didn't hurt a bit; they were so
soft. But Jack got very, very excited,
