GAVE BIRTH TO MICE IN TRAP.
Male Parents Devotion Rewarded by
Freedom Of Brood.

A Manayunk woman, going to her
mouse trap the other morning, found
a mouse in it, with six little mice as
well.
They had, of course. been born after
their mothers capture-an amazing
thing. But more amazing still was
the fact that they lay in a small round
nest like a birds, a nest made of bits
of paper, thread, straw and shreds Of
linen and flannel.
The woman, instead of drowning
forthwith the mother and her brood.
retired, and from the next room
watched the trap secretly. Her watch
soon was rewarded. Another mouse
trotted up with great caution, thrust a
straw through the bars, and a few
moments late. returned with a shred
of pink calico. The captive mother,
with these contributions, proceeded to
complete her nest.
This incident so moved the woman
that on retiring that night she put a
handsome piece Of cheese in the trap
and opened the tiny door. When she
came down in the morning mother
and young and cheese were gone-the
nest alone remained to witness to the
truth Of her tale.

Home Love ses, Charity.

We have come to realize that a
child needs something more than
clothes and food to develop the best;
Il needs the love that can only be
found In a horne. The success Of the
whole depends entirely upon the sue
cess Of the unit, and this can only be
achieved by recognizing each unit,
though It be merely a puny little child
OF want or crime. as an Individual,
with individual characteristics and an
individual yearning for love.

KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM.
One Mans Method Of Making life At.

"A farmer whose son is also a

for the Worlds Work. The editor has
asked him to tell particularly how his
son came to enjoy farm life and not
banker after the allurements Of the
city.
From the very first" says this
rural philosopher, my partner and
set out to make life enjoyable for our
children his partner" being his wife.

fellows the fortunate young folks OF
this farm had calves, colts, horses,
pigs. pigeons. Angora rabbits, dogs,
birds. guinea pigs and even a white
rat"
Boys and girls do not enter this
world Of their own desire. The com.
mandment which bids them honor
their fathers and mothers has an un-
written corollary. Parents must honor
and comfort their children. The farm.
er in the magazine did this in setting
forth the best he had In thought and
food. 1t is likely that many a son
has gone further astray than on the
farm for lack of such a keen sense
OF loving responsibility at the head OF
the home. Anyway, the boy is not
kept to the acres by the selling of the
best joints to the city markets while
the chuck steak is served to the
family.

Aetfess TeIs Stage Women AI To Marry.

Actresses should marry. So should
all other women. There, l am sepa-
rating women of the stage into a
class by themselves, as different from
other women, just the thing object
to having other people do. But IN
this case the separation comes easily.
1t has been said for so many years
that the stage women should not
marry, because 1t hurts business, so
that speak of her in particular. y
This is the emphatic statement
made by kathryn Osterman In an in
terview on marriage. Continuing
Miss Osterman said:
"Home is the principal thing. We
all need homes. They are a part of
our lives which we cannot well do
without. And although the actress
may have a home without a husband
she is likelier to possess both than
one.
1 believe there is no on
earth and no class of women that
appreciate home and husband more
than an actress. Her life Is necessa-
nly one of too much hotel, too much
travel and too much arti6ciallty.
She needs the influence Of the home.
The actress who is married and has
q home looks upon the world with
more charitable and loving eyes"

MAKING A TUNNEL.

Tho Way Railroad Engineers Bore
Through Mountain.
Sometimes the construction engineer
brings his new line face to face with
mountain too steep to be easily
mounted, and then he prepares to
pierce it. Tunnels are not pleasant to
ride through. They are, moreover.
fearfully expensive to construct, and
they necessitate a double inspection.
But-and the "but" in this case is a
very large one-they reduce grades
and distances in wholesale fashion.
and so in mountainous country the
engineer must be prepared to drive
tunnels and the folk VINO come after
him to operate them. The tunnel job
Is apt to be separate part of the
work. 1t calls for it's own expert tai
ent
If the tunnel is more than a half or
three-quarters Of mile long it will
probably be dug from shaft or shafts
as well as from its portals. In this
way the work will not only be greatly
fastened, but the shafts will continue
in use after it is completed as vents
for the discharge Of engine smoke and
gases from the tube.
The ordinary course Of such work is
by the use of cutting shields proceed
ing simultaneously from the portals
and from the footings Of the shafts.
These shields are to be likened to
steel rings Of circumference only
slightly greater than that of the fin
ished tunnel. Men working on differ
ent levels of this shield with pick and
with drill and dynamite constantly
clear path for 1t, whereupon 1t Is
pressed forward. Tracks follow the
cutting shield, and more locomotives,
steam or electric, are used in remov-
ing the material. The use of electric
fly keeps the tunnel quite clear of
gases and makes the safest light for
the workers.
In rare cases tie rock through which
| the tunnel is bored is strong enough
to support itself. But in most cases
the engineers prefer to line the bore
with brick, as rule, and this lining
is set in place right in the path Of the
cutting shield. After long weeks and
perhaps months of work the time
comes when the different bores meet
and the tunnel is single underground
tube from portal to portal.
