He Saw the Ball Game.

The manager of a manufactory was suddenly called away to New York. leaving negotiations for the sale of a large quantity of merchandise uncom- pleted.
 After his departure the office boy, anxious to witness a big baseball game, asked the under manager for a half holiday, but was refused.
 In the meantime an offer was re- ceived for the merchandise referred to above, which the under manager did not feel justified in accepting without the authority of his chief. to whom he dispatched telegram, worded:
 Five hundred dollars offered: shall acceptT
 The boy was deputed to take the message to the nearest telegraph office, but before handing it over the counter added few words to it on his own ac- count, with the result that when it reached New York it read as follows
 Five hundred dollars offered; shall accept. and can William have the afternoon off?"
 In due time the under manager was much amazed to receive the following reply:
 Accept $500. and give William after noon off,"
 When all the facts were subsequent ly revealed the boy was reprimanded for his audacity, but the manager could not help but inwardly admire his en- terpriSe

The Wrong Horse.

Gretchen had been in America only few months, but she believed in the principle of pretending to know what she ought to know. She had been en- gagged as laundry girl in a small fam fly of well-to-do people. When asked if she understood all the details of her work she unhesitatingly replied: Sure I do, man."
 Her mistress was not quite satisfied, however, and while she was busy with her first washing, looked in upon her. Gretchen seemed to be doing all right and she left without offering sugges- tions. Next morning the ironing was in order and Gretchen was hard at it when her mistress looked in to say: "As you get the clothes ironed, just throw them over the horse"
 "An right, man," the busy laundry girl replied without stopping to raise her eyes from her work in hand.
 The laundry-room was located in an out-house adjoining the barn, and oc- casionally the neighing of the family horse and the merry voice of Gretchen resounded throughout the house. Re turning to the laundry-house a couple of hours later the lady could scarcely believe her eyes nor restrain her mirth when she beheld the family horse, standing patiently beside the girl, loaded down with newly ironed sheets, pillow cases, tablecloths and lace trimmed waists and skirts. With an anxious look on her honest face Gret- chen observed: ''I'm glad you've come, mann, for I'll have to have another horse"

Of late years wave of sympathy has swept over the world for those whom we call "shut-ins"-men, women and children who are forced by illness or by accident to lead their lives cut off from the outside world. Societies and warm-hearted philanthropists have vied with one another to bring sunshine into the crippled lives. Meantime thou sands of persons deliberately choose employments which, almost as com pletely as physical disability, separate them from the great influences of na- ture The factory and the shop, and even the kitchen, shut in the woman and hide from her the glory of sky and mountain and meadow. The grim law of habit accustoms her to her loss; and at last she makes no effort to enlarge her vision. When occasionally some woman rises in rebellion and throws of foolish. A woman of thirty, who had gained by twelve years of hard toll responsible and lucrative position in great paper mill, gave up her place. with its generous salary, and put all her small savings into a little farm by the side of a beautiful lake in Maine. She was reproached by her friends for improvidence and threatened with the tedium of the long winters and the hard work of the short summers. She replied, "You forget what big pay am going to get" Big pay?" queried her astonished friend. "Yes, a dollar a day In the pleasure of setting foot on the ground instead of on board floors, two dollars day in satisfaction by looking at the sky, and my board and clothes out of the farm by way of chickens and pigs and vegetables" The final misery of the "shut-in" comes when she loses the desire to get out. By every possible device let her keep her love for the open. Fed on ten min utes a day of unrestricted vision, 1t will not die. She who grasps and hoards the picture of sunset or field of daisies or evening star need never be alone. At her call the vision will
 flash upon that inward eye
 Which is the. bliss of solitude. and in an instant, spite of four walls, she is free.

PLANT GUARDIANS.
Ants Which Savagely Defend a Tree
 in South America.

Ants Which Savagely Defend a Tree
 in South America. Ant defenders of plants and trees are some of natures pretty marvels. The cecropia adenopus is a remarkable tree of south Brazil widely distributed through the tropics. Its slender trunk is crowned with long leaves at the ends of the branches.
 A few active ants run continually along the branches and the leaves, but if the tree is shaken slightly an army of ants rush out by small apertures ready for a savage assault on the in truder. The ant is the terrible guar dian that the tree has retained to pro tect it from its most formidable enemy. the leaf cutter ant
 The defenders rarely leave their re- treat, where they live on small whitish egg shaped bodies about one-twelfth os an inch long, knoWn as Mueller's cor puscles. These are formed of delicate tissue, rich in protelds and oil, as ra- tions for the garrison of defender ants to feed upon. The curious arrange ment by which entrance is made to the hollow stem has been studied by W. Schimper.
 Just above the point of insertion of each leaf extends nearly to the su- perior node superficial groove. ct whose end is a rounded depression. There the tissue is thin, like a dia- phragm in a tube, and it also is soft. The hole by which the ant enters Is always pierced at this spot. The ants seem to have made their entrance through the groove originally because it was at the top. In the course of this plants further development nat ural selection augmented these natural so that finally the thin. frail diaphragm as it exists to-day was

The United States has been and still is very fortunate In her relations with China We have some advan- tage over other nations in that we manifested our national friendship be- fore China showed such marked signs of her awakening and promise of rapid modernization. Thus our national
 friendship is not tainted with glaring self-interest- This good will of the Chinese nation Is worth retaining and fortifying. The Boxer uprising and the boycott were hysterical incidents, and are past They never represented the nationality of China. In taking the lead in prompt recognition of China's forward effort as the forecast of a ma terial greatness. the United States might achieve a sentimental foundation for a very practical foothold In China.

Our grandfathers owed much to the district school, but in many parts of the country the rural school has fallen behind the best standards. Such is the case in Connecticut, according to the report of a special committee, which finds many of the buildings in bad con- dition and the teaching of poor quality On the other hand in some parts of the country the union school which takes all the children from wide ra- dius is model institution. It will be a great pity if the states do not keep up the standards of education in the thinly settled districts: for if the peo- pie find that their children are not get ting the best, they will make any sac rifice to move to the city, and the de population of the farming sections which has been going on in Eastern states will be hastened in spite of ef- forts In other directions to improve the conditions of country life"

The late William Preston, n

"Billy," was once pitted against
u country attorney, who was
noted for his bullying tactics,
says the Brooklyn Life.
Besides making, during the
trial, frequent illusions to the
somewhat diminutive stature Of
the Baltimore lawyer, in the be-
ginning Of his plea to the jury
the country attorney said, in a
mocking drawl: "And-Mr'
Billy Preston-comes all the
way-from the city TO teach us
the law. Why-Mr Preston
there's nothing Of you-l can

that gentleman, "you would

lished at Biggers: "Let every

appearance Of their streets and
lots. Keep all kinds of rubbish
off the streets and sidewalks,
and see that your houses and
fences are neatly painted. There
is nothing that helps the looks Of
a town and induces newcomers
to settle in it more than neatly
painted houses and fences, neat
and tidy streets and fruit and
shade trees on your lots.'
