was a learned person, convoked an as

the country in order that they might

opinion concerning him.
These scientists all agreed that Guilt
yer could not have been produced In
the ordinary course of nature, since
he was not fitted with capacity to pre-
serve his life either by climbing trees,
or by swiftness, or by digging holes in
the earth. They decided from his teeth,
which they examined with great exact
ness, that he was carniverous animal
yet most quadrupeds being an over
match for him and field mice, togeth er

they could not imagine how he could
| be able to support himself unless he
fed on snails and such other insects
which, they argued with great learning,
he could not possibly do. In short they
gave him up in very learned, scien-
tific and verbose manner as virtuosi
in all ages and in all countries are ac-
customed to do In matters beyond their
comprehension.

which gave him great satisfaction.
The queen gave her own cabinet
makers orders to contrive a box for
the worthy manil<in which should serve
as a bed chamber for him. The man
was a most ingenious artist and in
three weeks had constructed for Guilt

and IL feet high, with sash windows, a
tdoor and two closets, like London
bed chamber. The board which formed
the top could be lifted up and down on
hinges to ADMIT Oh putting III the Iurnl-

bed ready furnished by the royal up
holster (Which Glumdaclitch took out
every day to air) two little chairs,
with backs and frames of substance
not unlike ivory, and two tables with
cabinet for him to put his things in.
The sides of the box were quilted, as
were the floor and ceiling, to prevent
any accident from the carelessness of
those who carried him about or the
Jolt when CULVER was carried in a
coach.
A locksmith, after several attempts,
made for CULVER a lock to his box, and
it was the smallest thing of it's kind ever
seen In Brobdingnag, for so the country
was called. CULVER had seen larger
one on the gate of gentleman's house In
England. The queen ordered the thinnest
silks which could be procured to make the
little fellows clothes; but he found the
material very cumbersome until he got

Choosing Ones Work.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet. Many men do
not find their s0heres of greatest
usefulness until middle age, while
others never find them. Education
ought to help one to find his true
sphere. The great difficulty with so
many young people is they show an
adaptability to too many things; they
become what their fellows or instrus-
tors call versatile. The versatile man
sometimes is the worst handicapped
man. He can do dozen things fair
ly we'll and he spends his time be-
tween them. scattering his fire, in
stead of concentrating on one object,
single purpose and learning to do
that in the aggregate better than
he could do each of the eleven. The
man who, with bent for music,
can play half dozen instruments,
is not nearly likely to play as well
as the man who becomes expert in
the use of that one. The versatile
man is seldom more than an amateur,
being kept out of the professional
class simply because he has never
learned to concentrate his full pow
ers on the one thing. Young men
and women must look out for these
pitfalls. The only talent that ever
accomplishes' anything worth while is
that trained along certain, definite,
fixed line.-Omaha Bee.

Responsibilities OF Parents.

The old-fashioned mother and the
old-fashioned father have become al
most obsolete in the large cities.
Modern mothers and fathers have
ceased to take their responsibility
seriously During the early days of
the child's life the task of looking
after manners and education is large
ly shifted to the schools. The edu-
cation of children, consequently, has
become more automatic, and, nat
urally, lacks the individual touch of
refinement and breeding that can be
obtained only in the home.
Few schools teach kindness, gen.
tleness. courtesy, or unselfishness.
Such qualities can be thoroughly in
culcated only in the home. 1t is
by the father making a chum of his
boy and the mother a friend of her
girl that the miracle of a gracious
character can be wrought. If faith
ers would make confidants of their
sons, and mothers confidants of their
daughters, teaching them to share
adversely or prosperity like partners,
there would be less dissatisfaction
and less extravaganza among the
growing generation. BY unselfish-
ness they would teach unselfishness:
by kindness, they would teach kind
illness; by courtesy. they would teach
courtesy. And the world would be
the gainer.-Washing Post.

IF YOU FLIRT ON THE STREET IN BALTIMORE YOU
WILL HEAR FROM THE ASSISTANT LADY POLICEMAN

Baltimore, Md.-The Woman Suf-
frage Club, of Baltimore, intends to
put an end to all street fiirtations, to
keep many of the young people who
swarm the streets at night at home,
and to prevent any behavior that is
not decorous. and mannerly by older
men and women.
A committee from the club called
upon the States Attorney and asked
his advice and cooperation.
The States Attorney will be ap-
pealed to particularly to discover if
it is possible to appoint women as
sistants to the police officers at the
suburban resorts and on the down
town streets, whose duty will be to
look after street morals.
When the suffragists appealed to
the police board recently to secure the
appointment of women policemen at
the resorts the board declared such
action not within its power, as the
resorts were outside of the city limits.

1t Is unquestionably true that, not
