PLEASURE FOR SMALL BOYS.

Small boys and people of poor di-
gestion, if the bulletin of the Iowa
experiment station is to be believed,
need no longer curb their appetite
for ice cream, for the more lacto
they eat the healthier Trey will be-
come. Lacto is a new frozen dairy
product invented by the station. 1t
is made Of loppered whole or skim
milk, with the addition of eggs, SUI
gar, lemons and favoring material.
1t has a very pleasant flavor, and it
supplies the body with Tactic acid
bacteria, which eminent scientists
say is a means of improving health
and prolonging life.

RoRTUoAL's RAT CAMPAIGN.

Rats appear to be thicker in Por-
tuggl than in any other country in
the world and the new government
has undertaken a campaign to drive
rats out of that country. There are
prizes to be given for the largest
number of rats killed in a given
time by a given man. and substan-
tial aid has been placed in the hands
of the anti-rat associations. All the
new buildings used for stores and
warehouses must be rat proof. Some
Of the cities of Portugal have the
highest death rate Of any towns in
Europe and the scientists say this
bad state of health is due to diseases
caused by rats.-New York Press.

FINDS GOOD IN EVERYTHING
That Is the One Unfalling Characterize
tic of Wisdom, According to
the Philosopher.

Wisdom is alchemy. Else it would
not be wisdom. This is its unfailing
characteristic, that it finds good in
everything, that it renders all things
more precious. In this respect also
does it renew the spirit of childhood
within us: while foolishness hardens
our hearts and narrows our thoughts,
wisdom makes us feel a childlike Gu
riosity and a childlike interest about
all things. When our view is con-
fined to ourselves nothing is of value
except what minister in one way or
other to our personal qualification:
but in proportion as it widens, our
sympathies increase and multiply.
Nothing can be further from wisdom
than the mark of it assumed by men
of the world who affect Indifference
about whatever does not belong to
their own immediate circle of inter-
ests or pleasure.-Julius Charles
Hare.

HOW CHICLE IS GATHERED
Natives Of Yucatan Collect the Chew
Ing Gum From the Lofty
Sapota Trees.

In Yucatan the gathering Of the
chicle chewing gum is an industry
that employs the services of consid-
cradle bands of natives known as
"chicleros." They go into the deep
forests, under experienced leaders,
armed with heavy knives of special
make and pals and ladies for the
sap, and each one is provided with
a strong rope, more than so feet
long, to be used in climbing the
lofty sapota trees from which the
gum is procured.
The sap flows from gashes cut in
the bark. A camp of chicleros,
where the sap is boiled, resembles in
some respects an American maple SUI
gar camp. After months of work
the chicleros return from the forests
laden with brick-like blocks of aro-
matte gum. The finest gum is col
lected from the fruit of the sapota.
mostly by the native women, and it
is said that it is seldom exported, be-
cause it is too well liked at home

REMEMBERED LESSON.

Judge Joseph Buckner Lamar Of
Georgia, who has recently been ap-
pointed to the supreme bench, tells
the following story: When his chill
dren were young they were often
warned against playing on the lawn
when it was damp. The frequency
with which this warning had to bS
repeated seemed to indicate that it
had made very little impression upon
the youngsters, until one day when
his little son was learning the Gold
en- Text for the next Sunday school
lesson. "Put off thy shoes from off
thy feet" the boy repeated to his ia
ther, "for the ground wherein thou
standest isis" "Is what, son ?"
said the judge. 'Ts damp" suggest
ed the little boy.

USE FOR BABIES.

A comedy of babies was enacted in
Dublin (Ireland) court the other
morning. A number of young wom-
en- fish dealers we're summoned for
exposing fish for sale on the public
thoroughfare. The first batch all
appeared with babies in their arms
and were discharged with a caution.
When the second batch of defend
ants appeared and each had baby
in her arms his lordship was bewil-
dered, as he recognized several Of
the chubby youngsters who had APP
peared with different mammas. The
practice of lending baby to excite
the sympathy of the court appears to
be common on such occasions and
one baby often appears repeatedly
in different arms before the magis-
trate.
