About the Spare Room.

How often the best and sunniest bedroom in a small house is set aside for the rare visitor, while the chill dren are cramped for space, or its master, the bread-winner, has some dark cupboard as his special sanctum. If he attempts to write in the dining room he must bundle away his papers, whenever the table is required for a meal, and the wear and tear to his temper-for every man finds 1t ag- gravating to be "hustled"-often makes him "gey i'll to live with" But for the fetish" of that seldom used spare room he would find home far more home-like, and his wife would reap a sure reward for the sacrifice of the petty pride which makes her think more of what people will say" than of her husbands comfort.

oId-Time Market Days.

'Market-day," for ages an institu tion in England, still exists in certain localities, and may still be studied with interest by the tourist who visits Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Charlotte tower, Prince Edward Island, where large enclosures and roomy market houses are maintained for the benefit of the country people, and such citi. zens as have established a regular market business. Everything from live stock to bouquet of flowers may be brought here for sale, the owner being allotted suitable place and charged a small fee for his accommo dation, and while most of the market people are far from being especially rustic in their dress or speech, the variety, and sometimes the peculiar ity of their offerings still suggest the important part which the English market and its legal control played in the local and business life of three centuries ago.-'Nobility of the Trades-The Farmer" Charles Win slow Hall, in National Magazine.

TOYS TEACH BOYS AND GIRLS
Methods of Modern Life Are Elm pIoyed in Making Electrical
 PIaythings for Children.

Some of the electrical toys now on the market are actual wonders-work- Ing models in reality of the big cleo Erical equipments seen all about us.
 For instance, there is little steam ship complete in all it's outward de- tails, which Is driven by a battery and motor concealed in it's hull. It may be started, stopped or reversed from a small switchboard through a water proof connecting cable.
 Then there is a small electric fan which is not a mere toy, but which will give good stiff breeze. It is run by a substantial motor suitable for other purposes.
 Street lamps with real lights oper- ate from a battery.
 Complete electrically operated Jtreet cars with electric headlight md any amount of track may be pro sected by electric block signals.
 The girls also have been remem- Sered, and some of the things which interests them most is a complete Ilectric range with cooking utensils. which operates from the lighting cir .uit and which is capable of doing real booking.

Elftx rhousand chIId eardeners.

As a result of statewide indus trial contest in Oregon there are now 5OOO0 children busy gardening. It is thought that of the 125,000 school children of the state at least 75,0OO will exhibit at their county fairs or at the state fair at Salem in the autumn something they have raised or made. The superintendent of public instruction and public spirited citizens are responsible for this wholesale plan of child farming. Sub stantial prizes are to be awarded to those who have been most successful in raising garden stuff, chickens and pigs, or in making some useful arti- cle. To aid the little ones the agri- cultural college has issued 50,000 bull letins containing directions for plant ing and growing seeds. The scheme is an excellent one, so different from the murderous child labor of the fac tory. It includes plenty of fresh air, healthful exercise, pleasant mental exercise, and blessed contract with nature, her beauty and life. There is here the early lesson of obedience to the royal law of Christian Herald.

PRECIOUS RELICS IN DANGER
Steps Being Taken by the Pope to Insure the Safety of Documents
 In the Vatican.

Father Ehrle, the well-known his, torian, who has been prefect of the vatican library since 1895, is shortly to retire from his important post, and Monsignore Ratti, director of the Am brosian library, of Milan, has been se- Consequently destructive Bird, Held Lected by the pope to succeed him.
 The manuscripts contained in the vatican library number over forty thousand and surpass not only in num- Der but also in value and interest those of all other libraries in the world combined because they have been ac- cumulated since practically the begin ming of the Christian era. It will be necessary for Father Ehrle to remain in charge for at least another couple of years in order that he may hand over to his successor these manuscript treasures, which must be identified one by one.
 The pope, on the suggestion of the retiring librarian, has availed himself of this detailed examination of manu- scripts, which takes place whenever new prefect is appointed, to reform the methods heretofore adopted for their preservation. The manuscripts are in- closed in low wooden cupboards called "armadii," about five feet high, the doors of which are richly decorated, according to the plan in use for cen. turies in Rome, which was to combine art galleries and libraries and thus give room to hang pictures on the walls Over tho hooks
 While every precaution is taken for the preservation of the manuscripts from moths and dampness this old sys- tenn of keeping them has its great drawbacks in case of fire, as the cup boards are naturally not f1reproof. Father Ehrle suggested to the pope that every cupboard when possible should be converted into strongbox or safe perfectly fireproof and that two or three large rooms should be specifical. ly built with walls covered with steel plates or other non-infiammablet mate rial, to which the manuscripts that can not be kept in cupboards could be re moved.
 His suggestion has been fully ap. proved by the pope, who still recalls the fire in the vatican, which but for the intervention of the Italian f1remen might have had disastrous results, and the necessary arrangements have now men made to have the vatican preserved in such way as to insure their safety and integrity.

TRACE ORIGIN OF ALPHABET
According to Prof. Flinders Petrie 1t Existed 1000 Years B. C.
 Attacks an Old Theory.

In lecture at the Royal Institute Prof. Flinders Petrie has attacked the long accepted theory that the origin of the alphabet is to be found in Phoehicia, whence 1t came from Egyptian hieroglyphics, says a New York Sun London dispatch.
 According to Prof. Petrie, the re- searches of the last twenty years have shown that signs were earlier than pictures and that 1t was the sign that survived to become the alpha and beta of one civilization and the A B c of another.
 Just as the philologist had discov- cred one entire system of languages, so the alphabetarian has discovered in the diversity of alphabets an orig inal prototype of all. In Prof. Petrie's words, 'The Phoenicians are people of yesterday compared with those who wrote the signs that are the origin of all alphabets."
 It was to pottery, said the profes- sor, that Psychologists and others were indebted for these signs, and their development was worked out on these lines. Flatnose made a pot and put a mark on it to show that 1t was his. In time, because 1t was his mark, the sign stood for F1atnose himself, and then the sign became at tached to sound irrespective of the thing itself. Gradually the wearing down went on until the sign stood. not for a sound, but a syllable, and then for a letter.
 The signs, of course, were not an alphabet; that did not arrive until perhaps 1000 B. C., whereas signs were found in early prehistoric Egypt, probably 1000 B. O. Proofs of this common origin were plentiful, for the signs spread by trade far north and south and appeared similarly in Runic, Iberian and Karian, and yet were unknown in Phoenician.

BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE
British Rancher of Opinion the Little Animal Is Much Abused, and
 Gives His Reasons.

There has been a lot of garbled
 stuff written in regard to the poor
 humble beaver" says a correspondent
 He is the most cussed animal of any
 in existence in British Columbia to- day.
 He shuts up water in creeks, over- flows meadows, eats off apple trees if you get them too close to his wander ings, and, in fact, to hear the com plaints about him, you folks on the outside would think he should be ex- terminated. But not so; he is mans best friend in regard to the water question.
 'Now, I am an admirer of the beav- CT; he has not lazy hair on his body. He works unceasingly to shut up what you have torn out; not only for his part, but for the rancher that wants the water. As fast as you can open their dams every morning all the sum- mer through, they will close them again at night. But put in a good dam and Hume box with gate, and your trouble is over in a great measure.
 "They will once in a while shut up the box, but not often. Hang up piece of bright tin on a spring hole so the tin will swash in the water, and you will not be bothered much at the box Now, if the ranchers left all these cuts open, which they all do, your water would all run of in the winters thaws. So that is where the beaver comes to their relief. He shuts them up himself And then he gets blamed for doing it.
 "A beaver is awful shy when he first sees man. He certainly puts out for a hole in the bank. But you show up evenings for about week or ten days and just walk around and pile few sticks across their path where they are hauling down cotton wood or willows to the lake or pond and they will come and smell of the stick and get the scent of your hands and your tracks.
 Then they will quit that place and go make another. We'll, you do the same at that place and so on two or three nights and they will get your scent so that they know 1t means no harm to them. They will pull all your sticks out of the road and keep right on at work. Now their fear of man is all past; they take no more notice of your being around than they would of horse or COW.
 "The beaver is one of the easiest of the larger animals to domesticate. He Is fond of most any kind of roots, but of all the wild roots, he likes the big pond lily root that grows to enormous size. Some roots are ten to fifteen feet long, three to four inches in di- ameter They criss cross and grow together till they are a regular mat. Then what he likes next is the white carrot, also the red. They are poor eaters out of dish; they went to sit up and brace themselves on that mus cular tail and take the food in their forepaws, or their little hands."-Fur News.
