Ever See a Frogs Nest7

In Brazil there exists a species of
tree frog (Hyla faber) which con-
structs in the water a curious nest,
or fertilization, to protect its eggs
and Its young from the attacks of fish.
Starting at the bottom of pond, the
mother frog erects a circular. tube
like wall of mud, which at the top pro-
jects above the surface of the water.
where it bears some resemblance to
the crater of miniature volcano.
In the water thus enclosed the eggs
are laid. and when they have hatched
out the young frogs are secure from
enemies until they are able to take
care of themselves. In the meantime
the parents remain in the neighbor-
hood as if on guard.

Cleaning a Rusty Rife.

It Is an easy matter to clean rusty
rife barrel, but when the rust has
pitted the metal to any depth, the ac-
curacy Of the rifle is destroyed. When
the rust is very thick saturate the In
side of the barrel with coal oil, and
allow 1t to soak well in for an hour or
more. When the rust has tsoftened
somewhat wrap some tow around the
ramrod, and pour enough coal oil up
on it to thoroughly moisten it, and
push In a rotary manner through the
barrel and back dozen times When
the tow gets very dirty renew 1t and
continue the process until the coarser
portion of the rust has been removed.
A round brush of stiff bristles is next
fixed to the ram-rod, moistened thor
oughly with the oil, and twisted into a
barrel, running it back and forth at
least dozen times, thus loosening the
dirt that has been more firmly. attach
ed to 1t. The first operation is now
repeated, except that the tow on the
ramrod is left dry, and the rubbing
with this must be continued in all
directions as long as it comes out
soiled. The use of wire brushes is
Objectionable for cleaning guns, as the
numerous steel points cut into the
tube. Careful cleaning of the metal
parts after use, and giving them a
coat of petroleum or sweet oil when
laid aside, will keep rifle free from
rust and ready for use at all times.

How to Make a Man Happy.

Nagging becomes a habit, and the

All, think, will allow that these at
tributes should belong to friend of
the constitution: First, that he should
be of free descent by both parents, so
that the disadvantage of birth may
not imbitter him against those laws
which preserve the democracy. Sec
ond, that he should be able to show
that some benefit has been done to the
people by his ancestors; or, at the
worst, that there has been no enmity
between them which would prompt
him to revenge the misfortunes of his
fathers on the state. Third, he
should be irtuous and temperate in
his private life, so that no profligate
expense may lead him into taking
bribes to the hurt of the people. Next,
he should be sagacious and able to
cpeak-since our ideal is that the
best course should be chosen by the
intelligence and then commended to
his hearers by the trained eloquence
of the orator-though, If we cannot
have both, sagacity must needs take
rank before eloquence. Lastly, he
must have a stout heart or he may
play the country false in the crisis of
danger or war.-Aeschines (389-314

There are all sorts of reasons given

Try do we find the danger; these teach
ers. knowing nothing really of rural
life, instil the thought from the be-
ginning, Get an education SO as to
get away from this place into big
city where you can have chance!"
And now our slow-going government
has at last recognized this danger and
sends out this warming: The ten
dency of the rural school to encour-
age emigration to the city is due to
the fact that the course of study in
most rural schools is merely a copy
of that given to city school children,
without reference to the different en-
vironment and local needs of the
country child. AS a result the au-
thors declare that teachers every

idealized city life, and unwittingly
have been potent factors in inducing
young men and women to leave the
farm and move into the city."-Uni-

Clever Japanese.

Honolulu japanese have developed a
new industry in the local fisheries now
all but monopolized by them. They
are buying up all the surplus aku.
when big catches are brought into the
market, which they manufacture into
peculiar article of dried fish for ex.
port to the mainland. They have
erected a plant in the rear of the
Fisheries Company's place at the mar
ket, where they clean, boil and then
sun-dry the fish, making an article
that is said to keep well, besides being
quite palatable.
