"SAND. ~.


I observed a locomotive in a rail-
road yard one day,
1t was standing by the round house
where locomotives stay,
1t was painted for the journay, it was
coaled and fully manned,
And it had little box on top, the
fireman filed with sand.
They say that locomotives cannot
always get their grip,
On the slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip,
So when they strike slippery spot,
their tactics they command,
And to get a grip upon the rails, they
sprinkle them with sand. ... ~
It's about the same with trouble,
along LIES slippery track, T.
If your load is rather heavy and you
are always slipping back,
Then If q common locomotive you
completely understand, SlH II
You will provide yourself on starting
with a good supply of sand. /.
II your route is steep and hilly and
you strike q heavy grade, Il
And you find that those before you
have rails quite slippery made,
And you wisn to reach the summit Of
the upper table land,
The only way you'll do it Ia with a
liberal use of sand.
III you strike some frigid weather,
and you find out at your cost,
That you're liable to slip on some
heavy coat of frost, ~.
Then some prompt decided action
must be called into command,
You'll slide crear to the bottom, ii
you haven't any sand.
You can reach most any station OH
life's scheduled scene,
If there is fire beneath the boiler,
Of ambitions strong machine,
And you'll reach place called PLUSH
Town" at rate of speed that's
grand,
If for all the slippery weather you
have good supply of sand. Il

A Mite"

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to "mite'' in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic, The original mite" seems to have been a third of a Flemish penny, but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half far thing. and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite" stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth o1 a penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of a farthing, and in 1874 Jeakes arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-ton don Chronicle.

Heroic Treatment,

In Guiana if a child Is slow in 1,s movements the parents apply an ant to the child instead of whip to make 1t move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than a mosquito, and it's bite is apt to be troublesome after. ward. As you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others. and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ami mals. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years. but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely baby.
