John Burroughs, the aged natural ist, Is by no means a sentimentallst, and loses no chance to ridicule the na- ture writers who attribute almost hu- man intelligence to creatures beneath man in the scale of life. In the Ken nebec Journal there is story told by a New York editor of dinner at which MT. Burroughs and young writer of the new school were guests.
 This young man told wonderful story about the intelligence of oy- sters. He said he was going to put the story in his new book. MT. Bur roughs gave a dry laugh, and said:
 Let me tell you about cat. This story is quite as authentic as the other one, and it should do for your book nicely"
 The venerable student paused i'm pressively, then said;
 "A Springfield couple had cat that age had rendered helpless, and they put it out of it's misery by means of ohloroform. They buried it in the garden, and planted a rose bush over it's remains. The next morning a ia

 The business man was cool. What is in it?" he asked.
 Dynamite" was the brief reply
 What will it do if you drop it?'
 Blow you up
 Drop it." was the instant com mand. My wife told me when l left home this morning to be sure and send up a bag of flour, and l forgot 1t. I guess it will take just about as much dynamite as you have there to prepare me for the blowing up I'll get when she Sees mel"
 He threw himself back in his chair and waited for the explosion, but it did not come.

 Did Craig Taylor dare to take up that wager?" she asked.
 Yes" said Jonathan deliberately, watching her closely.
 For another minute Phoebe still held the door closed. Then, as she opened 1t, she said with apparent tranquility:
 Say Jonathan, if you want me to go to the Kingsleys barn dance with you. I would just as soon.''
 So on the evening of the annual barn dance at the Kingsley farm Phoebe dressed in her most bewitch- ing frock, with a black ribbon at her throat to set off the pinkest and fair est of cheeks. and rose in her hair to add to it's dark luster. She was ready and waiting, wrapped well for the cold drive, when Jonathan came, and she stepped eagerly into the buggy beside him.
 "Oh, do hurry" she begged, as her little foot tattooed on the floor of the buggy in anticipation of the dancing she loved. 'I can hardly wait, and yet you go so dreadfully slow"
 Jonathan felt the blood jingle within him as he realized that it was in his power to make her impatient the girl who kept him in mood of perpetual impatience.
 Jonathan stalled into the floor of the Kingsley barn with a sense of momentary triumph. At his side beamed Phoebe, whose fickle heart,

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

"I am man seventy years old. My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till 1 got the Cuticura Soap and Cuttcura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got cake of Cuti- cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies.
 "They also cured bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbours children, and they think very highly of the Cuti
 cura Remedies John w. Hasty, So Elf, tingham, N. H., Mar 5. and Apr. II, '09."

ChiIdlike Ignorance.

Laura Jean Libbey. discussing in Brooklyn her successful appearance on the stage, said:
 q talk in my monologue about love, marriage and the other interests of the heart. On these subjects women, especially young women, are strangely ignorant
 They really make me think, you know, of the little girl who was asked by her teacher:
 What can you tell us about Solo, mon?'
 Solomon.' replied the little girl, was very fond of animals
 And how. my dear said the teach CT, do you make that out?'

PopuIarjty of Jhais.

Every other young actress is call ing herself Thais," said Henry E. Dix ey at a dinner at Mauquins. "Thais McGinnis, Thais Endicott, Thais Schmidt-the thing is universal.
 Universal and ridiculous; for they who have read Anatole Frances story of 'Thais' know that she was very naughty little girl, indeed. l am quite sure that no real reader of 'Thais' would ever, under any circumstances, consent to be called such a name.
 Tt makes me think of a man who, taking his infant daughter to be bap- tized, told the clergyman to call her Venus.
 "'But I refuse to call her Venus, said the clergyman, indignantly. We nus is the name of pagan goddess
 "'Well, how about your own girl, Diana?' said the man."

History of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief funds during the Civil war, were the original forerunners of the Red Cross Christmas seal, which will be used this year to bring happiness and cheer to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu- berculosis society in 1907 for the first time in America made use of stamp for the purpose of getting revenue to fight consumption. In a hastily or ganized campaign of only three weeks they realized $3,000 The next year 1908, the American Red Cross con ducted the first national tuberculosis stamp campaign. From this sale $135, Q00 was realized for the anti-tubercu iosis movement Tn 1909, under many adverse conditions, $250,00O was req lized from these stamps. This year the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters and the Red Cross is "A Million for Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals in 1910"

Coral Reefs Inland.

Mention of coral reefs brings to ones mind a picture of palm-dotted islets girt with white sands in a tro- pical sea, but geologists find cora reefs in the midst of great continents These, of course belong to a past age of the earth's history, but on that ac count they are the more interesting Within late years several remarkable reefs of fossil coral have been ex- piored near Bainbridge, on the Fin river in Georgia. In one case a very large portion of the reef exposed con sisted of coral heads, some of whicl were more than foot in diameter Between twenty-five and thirty specie of coral have been recognized in thes reefs. They are ascribed to the. Te

Seeing Phoebe Home
By JANE OSBORN

Phoebe Dare sat erect on the shiny fixed on the lowered carpet of the Dare parlor. Before her, eramped and uncomfortable, sat Jonathan Crane, grim smile on his homely face and his eyes intent on Phoebe.
 Say, Phoebe" he said at length, who's going to take you to the Kings leys' dance?"
 Phoebe made no response. but merely raised her eyes proudly and with a tantaliMng twinkle.
 "Of course you wouldn't go with me-" he asked He began with the "of course" in view of the fact that Phoebe had just emphatically de clined his proffered hand and heart.
 Phoebe made no reply and a long pause followed while Jonathan gazed with something like devotion at the girl before him.
 The reason why I wanted to take you" he began at length, with drawl, was because of that wager made with Craig Taylor"
 What wager?" asked the girl. sud denly alert.
 "Oh, l guess 1t wouldn't interest you" said Jonathan rising. I'd bet ter be going now"
 The girl whose curiosity was thor oughly aroused. barred the way to the door. Tell me what wager you have with Craig" she demanded in the most pleading tones. Please tell me"
 "Oh 1t wasn't much of a wager" said Jonathan, slowly T guess shouldn't have said anything about It."
 But Phoebe persisted.
