ton an east side chapel. One Of the
features of the chapel is a gymnasium.

of the boys are quicker in this sort Of

The rector of ST. Thomas. the Rev

NOR. Some milkmen do their milking
first and then feed Immediately, and
cows that are accustomed to this treat
ment generally give down their milk
cheerfully, for they know that milking
is a prelude to the feeding. 1t all de-
ponds on habit and the way the cows
are treated, for COW is much smarter
than she looks and more grateful than
most persons would believe. So long
as the cows know they are not going
to be struck or beaten they will neither
kick nor hook. An experienced milk
man will never allow any loud talking
or excitement about his barns, for the
quieter the cows are kept the greater
the quantity of milk and the easier the
work"-St Louis Globe-Democrat

A Stubborn Princess.

Count de Lesdain in his From Pc
kin to Sikkim," an account of jour-
ney through the Cobb desert and Tibet,
tells a story concerning Monaghan
prince which has the traditional Chi
nese favor.
He is not, properly speaking, Prince
of Alaskan, but really Prince of Koko-
nor. Several years ago he went to
Pekin to be married The policy of
the Pekin court to that extent wise,
consists in marrying to all the Mongol
kinglets princesses of the emperor's
household, thus binding them to the
dynasty by the links of matrimony
The Prince of Kokonor, having mar
ried princess, set out again with his
spouse for his distant kingdom. The
princess had no liking for this journey
and ceaseIessly lamented the distance
of the country in which she was to live
in future At last, having reached the
opening of the Alaskan desert she alb
solutely refused to go a step farther.
The prince in his perplexity sent court
iers to Pekin to submit his case and
to beg that his spouse might be forced
to be reasonable. The reply from
Pekin was that If the princess re-
fused to go on he must settle in the
place where she had stopped. and thus
the Prince of Kokonor became Prince
Of Alaskan.

TweIfth centurv Manners.

According to twelfth century man.
ners. it was considered more than rude
for any one, man or woman, to look
aimlessly into space or gaze at the sky
for any length of time, and staring
about in the street or in church was
considered especially impolite. People
who desired to be considered well
bought up were enjoined not to wave
their hands about In the air and not
to place their hands upon the head or
shoulders of any distinguished person
age.
When standing, both men and wo-
men were exhorted to place one hand
over the other near the waist A well
bred woman, also, when walking out
Of doors, had to place the thumb of
the left hand in the buckle or string
by which her cloak was fastened UNI
der her neck, while with the two fin
gers of the right hand she kept the
cloak closed.
When on horseback, men were en-
Joined not to look at their legs, but
straight over the horses head. In a
book of the twelfth century we read
Of a model young woman who walked
nicely and did not look around She
did not speak to her mother nor greet
her father; neither would she look at
man or woman"

Willieboy was having the time OF his
young life. He had made the startling
discovery that the joys of wading
through the water without getting his
feet wet were as nothing to the great
er joy of wading through water which
came over the top of the rubber boots.
The cold water was refreshing to feet
tired and burning from the double heat
of thick felt lining and impervious
rubber Then, too, the gurgling sound
produced by the movement Of the foot
within the boot and the pull of the
water as he pushed forward-each was
a separate joy.
This joy, alas. was thrsatened with
determination by the unexpected ap-
proach of his sister. Willieboy turned
his back upon the shore and affected
a deep absorption in the expanse of
the lake.

might not recognize him If he kept his

The ualiest Beast.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is a monkey, grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see 1t. The
ugliness is not of an amusing kind, but
of an evil. sinister nature. The beast
has a sort of beard and a countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is SO hideous that
the natives of its country, South Amer
lea, say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
iaguar will starve in cageful of sakis.

One summer afternoon an exception
0ily we'll dressed stranger was seen to
enter the front gate of house in
wealthy neighborhood. He walked to
the door and tried to open it with a
key. AS he could not do so he went
around to a window and, pushing it
open, climbed in through it. 1t was a
suspicious proceeding. but as the man
was dressed in the height of fashion
the officer on the beat thought that 1t
was the owner of the house, who, hav-
ing forgotten his key, had used the
window as his means of entrance.
However, the officer thought it best to
watch the place for awhile to see If
anything out of the way might occur.
A short time later, emerging from the
front door, the stranger stopped as If
some one had spoken to him from
within, and, saying eyes, Bess, l have
my key this time" he lifted his hat
and walked slowly away. Some hours
later, when the real owner of the house
returned. the policeman learned that his
first suspicious had been correct, for
the well dressed stranger had walked
off with the jewelry and everything OF
value that he could lay his kid gloved
hands upon.-Chicago Tribune.
