Eton and Harrow.

One of the Elton and Harrow school
cricket matches recalls an amusing in
cident. Elton had n m%onotonous Sc
ries of wins for some years. and one
day the Harrow captain received the
following:
o We boys OF Harrow school.
OF cricket ye have no knowledge!
1t Is not cricket. but the fool,
You play against Elton college.
The Harrow school poet was hunted
out and commanded TO send a fitting
reply. This clever response made him
famous:
II, as you say. we play the fool.
No wonder we were beaten,
For at that game no other school
Could e'er compete with Elton.

How Rain Rores Holes.

When rain falls 1t does not actually
soak into the earth, but bores its way
In, forming tiny tubes. These tubes
are so small that 1t would be impos-
stble to insert a hair in one Of them
without bursting its wall. Sometimes
the tubes are bored down to a depth
Of four o five feet. When the surface
dries, the water evaporates from the
tubes, Just as 1t would from a pipe.
If the tube is twisted it takes longer
for the water to evaporate. IL one
takes a rake and stirs the ground after
each rain he breaks the tops of the
tubes, and the water will stand in
them for months. In this way the
farmers Of the west, on the semiarid
lands, store the rainfall one year and
raise a crop of wheat every other
year, there being sufficient water in
two years, but not enough in one, to
raise a crop.-Harper's.

"T1l tell you a true story" said a
missionary, that illustrates the nobil
fty Of the Chinese character.
"A drunken Cossack in Manchuria
shot a Chinaman fatally. 1t was nee
essary to identify the fellow, and half
a dozen Cossacks were brought to the
Chinaman's deathbed for that purpose.
He. however, refused to point out his
murderer, saying:
why should he be killed, since
must die in any case?'
"They explained that the Cossack
would not be put to death, but only Sc
verely punished, for his crime. There.
upon the Chinaman said:
but why punish him, since he is al.
ready forgivenY
ITO this they made answer that the
punishment would not be a revenge,
but a deterrent. 1t would keep the
Cossack from repeating such a heinous
crime.
But the Chinaman only shook his
head.
"'He won't repeat it anyway he
said, when he knows that / forgive
him. Minneapolis Journal.

Puzzles For Patients.

Although the patient had waited half
an hour for her interview, the time
had not dragged.
II worked on one Of those puzzles"
she said. "By the way, doctor, you
are not a children's specialist; then
why do you keep so many puzzles in
your reception room?"
you answered your own question be-
fore you asked it," the doctor said. Il
keep them to amuse the grownups.
Most people who feel bad enough to
visit a doctor can entertain themselves
better with a puzzle than a book or

DOGS OF ALASKA.
A Story That illustrates Their Won
derful Intelligence.

Dogs on the trail often display intel
ligence that seems almost human. On
one occasion / remember l was driving
a team Of dogs down the Yukon river
and had one dog in the team called
Tommy. who was a good dog In his
way, but who showed a strong dislike
to being harnessed-to such an extent
that in the morning. when all the other
dogs were hitched to the sleigh, Tommy
would hide himself under a cabin or
bury himself in the snow.
This continued for several mornings.
and beating him seemed to have 10 eff
feet. One morning, however. the team
had been standing in the cold waiting
for Master Tommy. l finally discov-
cred him hiding under the roots Of a
tree. and az soon as / came in sight,
dragging the dog, the entire team. mov
ed by a common impulse, bounded to-
ward me and at once administered a
terrible thrashing to Tommy.
finally rescued him from his angry
companions, and after that Tommy
was always the first to put his head
In the collar in answer to my whistle.
