A Mennonite Custom.

When young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders Of
the church hold meeting. They
decide II he is honest and reliable
to buy him farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members OF the congregation
raise the rest Of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with small rate Of inter-
est. Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor to the
church. They know full well that
nothing can be lost, for the land IS
always worth what it will cost After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this

mamma birds

Thomas A. Edison, the great inven.
tor, had a difficult time of 1t when he
was boy, just as SO many others of
our famous men have had. His father
died when he was young and his
mother, left with her family in her
Ohio home, bravely faced a difficult
problem, and that was-how to pro-
vide for her young children. AS soon
as Thomas was old enough he secured
q place on one Of the railroads be-
tween Chicago and New York as news
boy. It was long before newspaper
trains had been thought of, and it was
his work to look after the delivery of
the papers at the various stations.
This work was difficult, but he kept
faithfully at 1t and by his energy won
the regard of his employers.
Young Edison soon afterward Sc
cured a position as baggageman on the
road About the first thing he did in
that position was to set up a small
printing Office in one end of the car
and all his spare hours on the long
trips we're spent In getting out little
newspapers. which he disposed of at
the villages along the road. He ar
ranged with a man in Chicago to
telegraph him the important news of
the day. He received these dispatches
at various stations, and by the time
he had reached the next, his little pa
per was sent out with the sensation"
duly displayed.

A Shame TO Spend the Money.


aPianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, your
voice is too loud. Learn to shade your
tones
And the student worked hard TO
carry out instructions.
When she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but still
too loud. Try again-you will get it
after while"
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her it was still too
loud
Now William, the colored butler,
without whom the house would never
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual diminishing
of tone. 1t did seem shame to spend
the money. He would interview the
lady who occupied the room below
that of the vocal pupil.

First Owners az Eurs.

Women who expect to buy furs this
winter show a lively interest in the
Eco animals" said a Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
1.-THE recent warnings against imita-
ton furs have made them particular
" curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur Of live
lynx with a cat or rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent Investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens Of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection SO often
that they have become as blase as a

SMALL INDIAN SEWING BIRDS
Build Their Nests in Trees Where
Frisky Little Monkeys and Snakes
Cannot Find Them

In far-off India there live little yell
low birds about as large as your IA
Tiers thumb. They are called tailor
birds, because they sew. Monkeys and
snakes also live in this PARKWAY land,
and they eat birds.
But the tailor birds are very wise.
They build their nests where they can
not be seen by the hungry monkeys.
They pick up a dead leaf and fly up
into high tree, and, with fiber for
thread and their bills for needles.
sew the leaf onto green one hang
ing from the tree. They sew up the
sides and leave the top open. After
laying some Of their soft feathers
and down in it their home is finished.
And the frisky monkeys never know
the nest is swinging there in the
breeze, withe two little white eggs in
it, and the mamma bird safe in the
nest, too, while papa bird sings near
by.
Some day out of the little white
eggs will come two yellow baby birds,
which will fly away with papa and
mamma birds.

STARTS REIGN Of
TERROR On SHIP
BIG LION, ROARING DEFIANCE
AND BLEEDING FROM WOUNDS
SPRINGS OVERHEARD.
SCARED CREW CLIMBS AL0FT
Beast Was Being Brought From His
lair in india to Be Made Part OF
an American Menagerie-storn
Starts Thrilling Experience

New York-The perils OF bringing
huge lion from his lair In India to
New York, to be made a part Of a
menagerie, is set forth by the thrilling
experience Of the crew OF a German
freight steamer, the Berkenfals, COM
manded by Captain Friedrich, which
reached this city from Calcutta few
days ago.
It was while the vessel was making
for Bermuda that the trouble began.
Fierce winds, almost strong enough to
be dignified as hurricane, rocked the
steamer from side TO side. This roll
ing frightened the male and female Of
the big cat family and the former ex-
nibited his anger by throwing his body
against the wooden bars which held
him in captivity. The interludes be-
tween slams was devoted to roaring
that would make the stoutest heart
quail. The lion did not like to be
thrown around in his cell landing on
his head this minute and On his back
the next and with a regularity which
took all the bravado out of him. Bound
to get out and see what the trouble
was Mr.. Lion made supreme effort
and pushed the bars open, and then,
started out to explore.
1t was just as night was beginning
to give away to day and objects were
none too distinct. An East Indian
sailor was spied splicing a rope and
before he could stir the lion was on
top of him tearing him to pieces. Death
must have been instantaneous from
shock. While the lion stood gazing
into the face of the dead a group Of
seamen saw him and fed. The first,
second and third officers ran to their
rooms and procuring revolvers sought
out the beast, sensibly getting a. deck
above him in the interest Of safety.
Three shots were fired which did little
damage and made the lion growl all
the more. Three more were tried, but
the officers were so nervous that the
shots went wild Then the officers
went up the rigging and reloaded.
The second officer was the first to
renew the fusillade. This one hit the
beast in the belly, throwing him on
