NANsEN's CARRIER PIGEON.

One day a carrier pigeon tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's home in
Christiania Instantly the window
was opened, and the wife of the
famous Arctic explorer in another
moment covered little messenger
with kisses and caresses. The carrier
pigeon had been away from the cot
tage thirty long months, but had not
forgotten the way home. 1t brought
a note from Nansen, stating that all
was going we'll with his expedition in
the polar regions.
Nansen had fastened message to
the bird, and turned it loose.
The frail carrier darted out into
the blizzardy air, flew like an arrow
over perhaps a thousand miles of
frozen waste, and then over another
thousand miles of ocean, plains and
forests, to enter the window of it's
waiting mistress and deliver the mes
sage which she had been awaiting so
anxiously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity
and endurance; but this loving car
rier pigeon, after an absence of thirty
months, accomplished a feat SO won
derfu, that we can only give ourselves
up to amazement and admiration.--

or until the water is well charged
with the poison. Now stir in tea
spoonful or less of strained honey or
sugar syrup; find where the colony
of ants is located and set the dish on
the ground near by. If the weather
is very warm, shade the dish to pre-
vent rapid evaporation; if there are
any apiaries about place net-coy-
cred frame over the dish, having the
meshes large enough to permit the
ants to pass through and small enough
to exclude the bees; add trifle OF

frantic haste, drink their fill and

THE sPARRow's STORY.

Cheep! Cheep' Yes, know I'M
cheap. One day I hoped upon a
window sill and heard mamma
reading to her little children. She
read two sparrows sold for far
thing" She said fathing was q
tiny piece of money, and so two of us
were sold for that!
Seems to me we are just like other
little birds, and l do wonder if they
would be so cheap. l don't care
though, so long as it was Jesus who
said it, cause the mamma told about
Him and if l am only a little cheap
bird | can love Hin, too.
My mamma told me once when
ever l took a drink of water to lift
my eyes up to Heaven and say,
Thank YOU" and the lady said that
is where Jesus lives, so it must be
to thank Him.
Ny mamma told me one day to go
and take my bath in the little brook
near the tree where our nest is. So
| flew down and hoped about look
ing for nice fat worms to pop their
heads out of the ground, and
hoped on and on till l came to a
kind of stable where man was
working at a queer sort OF carriage.
1t made a horrid noise, and the man
was pouring things into it and polish
ing it up. Then he went into the
barn and brought out something that
looked like nice clean water He had
forgotten to bring his pail out and so
ran in again after it, and then l re-
membered about my bath. So l
hoped right into the pan of water
he had left. Oh, how cold it was and
how awfully it did smell! Never felt
and smelt any water like that! Some
children saw me and called out:

Thread the double or endless rubber
band through these holes and secure
it by a bit of match stick slipped into
the loop at each end on the outside of
the shell. The rubber band must be
just long enough to be adjusted in
this way, with a little stretching.
Now insert the hooked loop of the
hairpin under this tight elastic band
inside of the nut shell, slip the whole
apparatus down the candle until the
point of the shell is an inch or two
below the wick, and twist the rubber
band, to tighten it, by turning the
match sticks in opposite directions.
If you do all these things properly
the nut shell will be horizontal, or
nearly so, and its sharp point will be
driven into the candle by the tension
of the stretched and twisted rubber
band. Of course you must use per-
feet shell with an unbroken point.
Now your little automatic extin-
guisher is perfectly balanced. The
elastic band would make it fly up,
turning on the hook as on pivot, II

driven into the hard wax, or paraffln,
or tallow. Now light the candle.
AS it burns down and the flame
approaches the shell the wax which
holds the point softens, and when the
top of the candle is about level with
the shell the wax has become too soft
to hold it, and suddenly it flies over
and is clapped down on the top of the
wick, extinSuishing the flame as
shown in the right-hand picture.
You see what a simple and practi-
cal little device this is. 1t will re-
quire a little patience to get it to
work just right, for the size OF the
hairpin, the way it is bent, the size
of the shell and the tension OF the
band have to suit each other.
You can put the extinguisher as far
below the wick as you choose. The
lower you place it the longer the can
die will burn before being so unceri-
moniously sEuffed out by itself, so to
speak.

GAN ENJOYABLE MJTINY "

Mutinies, even at the present day,
declares Mr.. Louis Becke, in The
Call of the South" are common
enough. He adds that he has wit
messed three, the first being when he
was a boy. He and an elder broth
er were on their way to San Fran
cisco, when what he calls IAN enjoy
able mutiny" took place, and filled
his boyish heart with delight.
Our passage were taken at New
castle, New South Wales, on the bark
Lizzie and Rosa, commanded by a
little red headed Irishman, to whose
care we were committed. We took
quick dislike to him, as also did
the other passengers, of whom there
were thirty, cabin and steerage.
The bark was old. i'll found and
leaky, and from the day we left New
castle the pumps were kept going,
and week later the crew came aft
and demanded that the ship should
return to port.

South Pacific. the crew and steerage
passengers were In very angry
frame of mind. The crew were over
worked and exhausted. and the pas
sengers were furious at the miserly
allowance of food doled out to them.
At Rurutu the natives brought off
two boat loads of fresh provisions,
but the captain bought only one
small pig for the cabin passengers.
The crew came aft and asked the
captain to buy them some decent
food, in place of the decayed pork
and weevily biscuit upon which they
had been existing. He refused, and
ordered them forward; and then the
mate lost his temper, and told the
captain that the men were starving.
Angry words followed, and the mate
knocked the little man down
Picking himself up, he went below,
and reappeared with a brace of old
fashioned Colts revolvers, one of
which he pointed at the mate, and
calling upon him to surrender and
be put in irons, he fired toward his
head. Fortunately, the bullet
missed.

nearly drowned him. The boatswain
carried him below, locked him up in
one of the staterooms, and the mate
acted as skipper until we reached

At Honolulu the mate and all the
crew were tried for mutiny, but the
court acquitted them all. mainly

AN ALBATROSS BROUGHT THE
The story of the rescue Of twenty:
two starving French sailors from An
tipodes Island, says that they tried
every day to notify the world OF
their distress by releasing albatrosses
with messages tied to their necks
telling of the serious plight Of the
castaWays. The men were finally
rescued by passing warship, and as
fas as is known none of their mes
sages has been recovered
The idea of using albatrosses as
message carriers was undoubtedly
suggested to the men by a remark
able incident that occurred nearly
twenty-one years ago and is known
to all mariners. On September %
1887, dead albatross was found on
the beach at Fremantle, Western
Australia. around whose neck was
fastened bit of metal on which had
been scratched in French:
Thirteen shipwrecked men took
refuge upon the Crozet Islands on
August 4, 1887"
The news was cabled around the
world by Governor Robinson OF
Western Australia and the French
Minister of Marine at once ordered
the transport Meurthe to leave NADIA
gascar for the Crozets to search for
the castaways. The story appeared
in the Paris news papers and next
day the commercial house Off Bordes
& Sons, of Bordeaux, announced that
they feared the thirteen sailors were
Tamaris, which had sailed many
months before for New Caledonia on
course not far from the Crozets.
Her crew numbered thirteen souls
and she was long overdue.
The Meurthe returned from her
search to Madagascar on January 6,
1888. She found no human beings
on the Crozets but abundant evidence
that one of the four islands had re-
Gently been occupied, and under a
heap of stones was sheet of paper
on which was written in French with
lead pencil the details of the wreck
of the ship Tamaris, of Bordeaux,
with thirteen men in the crew. She
went ashore on the island of Cochous
during a heavy fog. The crew had
lived on the island for nine months
and, their food being exhausted, they
were about to set out for Possession
Island
q iSio ic ioh fv
Cochous. The Meurthe at once went
there and also to East Island but
found nothing and the castaways
have never been heard of since. 1t is
quite certain that they were lost in
the perilous passage to Possession
Island.
These poor fellows never dreamed
that eight days before they set out
from the desolate rock where they
had lived so forlornly the bird they
sent over their waters had finished
its wonderful flight and told the
world of the unhappy situation. The
winged messenger had made a jour-
ney of over 1000 miles with few
chances to rest on the way. Natu-
ralists and sailors have told us l-uch
of the albatross' remarkable powers
and endurance on the wing, but no
testimony 10 this fact will outlive the
story of the bird that was the means
of letting the world know that poor
castaways il the waste of southern
waters sorely needed succor.-"A, {"

THE WORK THAT WINS.

The story is told OF two boys who
were preparing a lesson in Latin. 1t
was the first time they had studied
together. They read it through with
considerable care; then one grabbed
his hat to leave for some other du-
ties. The other stopped him by say
ing they must read the lesson again.
Though expressing some surprise, the
first yielded, and they went through
the text carefully with grammar,
notes and lexicon. Then the visitor
rose the second time and reached for
his hat, but the other replied that
they must go over the lesson third
time. Though somewhat impatient,
the companion remained to put the
finishing touches on the lesson. say
ing that he did not understand, be-
fore, why the studious young man al
ways got an "a" grade. 1--WE must

A big turkey gobbler belonging to

from some undiscoverable complaint
for several days. He had wandered
about moping, refusing to feed and
keeping away from his fellows in the

make up his mind to end it all. He
flew with tremendous force against

PROVING HIMSELF.

1t is a wise man who proves his
words before he speaks them. A story
of an old Pennsylvania settler shows
shrewdness in this direction, as well
as pardonable pride in prowass
The hero of the anecdote was Gabriel
Schuler, pioneer who was hale in
his old age.
One day Schuler broke in upon a
company of farmers who were gath
cred in workshop. The old man
carried an axe on his shoulder.
Let some one turn the grindstone
for me-" he said
For a long time he sharpened the
instrument, with the greatest solem-
nifty. Some present thought he had
lost his senses. Finally he shoul-
dered the ak, and said:
Let each one follow me-
The farmers thought that this
summons might mean that an at
tack was to be made on the Indians,
and they asked:
Shall we take arms?"
do as you please" replied Schu-
ler.
Each man seized his rife and fol-
lowed the old settler. He led them
to an open place in the woods.
Now" said Schuler, stopping,
"let each go into the woods and Sc
lect large fine tree. When you hear
my trumpet, return
The men, wondering, did as they
were bid. When the trumpet blew
they gathered once more about Schu-
Ter. The sage, led by the farmers,
examined each tree selected.
Many of them are very fine," he
pronounced, "but none equals this
oak"
So it was. He had picked out the
finest. He threw off his jacket and
began to cut. When he had hewed
half way through he changed his AK
from his right hand to his left, and
went on without changing position
or saying word. In an hour he had
cut way through, and the tree fell.
Mounting the stump, Schuler ad-
dressed the farmers;
To-day I am one hundred years
old, and l would bear evidence of my
strength, I would like to have your
promise that the tree shall stay as 1t
fell"
The old mans request was grant
ed, and the PROSTATE oak remained
for many years to be monument to
the strength of the century old Penn
sylvania.
