Ruryine a Water Supply.

Most rodents are provident creatures
and store supply Of food for winter
use. The Egyptian jerboa, which IS
a kind Of jumping mouse. is quite as
thrifty as the rest Of its race, but It
is singular in this-that 1t stores up
not food. but water. The jerboa Is
found most generally in arid regions,
In which the dry season lasts six
months. during which time not even
drop Of dew falls In these places.
however, there grows. just at the close
Of the rainy season. bitter but ex-
tremely juicy melon. AS soon as 1t IS
ripe the jerDoa gnaws through its
stem. digs away the earth beneath It
and lets it drop into tile hole thus
formed. The wind soon covers It with
sand. which not only conceals it. but
also protects 1t from the heat. On the
coming Of the drought the jerboa seeks
out one after another Of these natural
water barrels and stakes its thirst at
them until the railx' season sets In

supply Of from forty to fifty melons.

BRAVE MOTHER ST0RK.
Her Nest AbIaze, She Will Stay BY and
Perish With Her Young.


Perish With Her Young.
So strong Is the mother love deVel-
oped in the stork and the lark that It
amounts to a heroic passion The
stork. which spends the winter IN
Egypt and the summer In northern and
western Europe, likes to build Its nest
on the top Of some steep gable rool.
Such a nest is often real nuisance to
man. It Is from three to FIVE yards IN
diameter. 1t swarms with lizards, frogs,
toads and other disagreeable creatures.
It becomes In course Of time so heavy
that It will break the roof If not art-
fcially propped up.
Nevertheless for various supersd-
hous reasons the stork is not only well
come but even courted by the Euro
pean peasants, and it cannot be denied
that the respect with which the bird Is
regarded is to some extent deserved
If the house takes fire and the young
storks happen to be Of an age at which
they cannot be saved by being taken
away from the nest the stork mother
does not abandon them. Standing
erect in the nest, tapping her wings to
watt away the smoke and the flames
and crying out now and then, she re-
mains with her young, perishing with
them.
The skylark, which builds its nest In
the meadows, runs away from 1t when
frightened. She proceeds for four or
five yards under the clover and rises
perpendicularly in the air, pouring forth
her song in its widest strains In order
to divert the intru6er's attention. But
the peasant boy knows that so long as
she remains hanging at the same point
In the air he is still four or five yards
from the nest, and he uses the direc-
ton Of her movements and the ring Of
her song to ascertain the exact spot.
If it chances that the young larks are
Just about to break through the shell
Of the eggs, at which time the mother
instinct Is at its height, it Is said that
at the very moment when the nest Is
touched the little bird will actually at
tack the intruder.-Harpers Weekly.

A Statement From The Teachers.

We, the undersigned wish 10 make
the following Statement:
l. The teachers of the Mannln"
Graded School did not resign their po-
sI,lou on account of Mr. Newton and
would gladly teach with h,m.
2. That the beautifut c-nent wax
in front of the school building is due
entirely To the untiring efforts of MIR
Newton and his friend Mr lstuosIe.
MIR. IsanosIe gave his services free OF
charge, ther- b. saving the as>oclAtl"u
something over sixty dollars, while on
the other hand, under the supervision
OF any other, it would bare cost one
hundred apd fifty dollars. The work
did not cost quite ninety dollars.

AN EMPER0R'S TASTE.
It Was the Origin Of Once Common
SAVING In Austria.

It Was the origin or a Once common
Saying In Austria.
An anecdote which was current Of
Ferdinand l. Of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to a common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was oyertaken by a
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in O farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fancy
was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse -four. he tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
ror Of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such q coarse dish should figure on the
menu, and even his physicians remon-
strated against the use Of such food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant Of men, but he now show.
ed that he had q will Of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that 1t
was dangerous to his health to be hv-
ing on dumplings and insisted on bis
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and declar-
ed that he would never sign another
official document II his diet were de-
MED him.
Emperor l am" he shouted. "and
dumplings will have~
To prevent q stoppage Of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty clung tena-
ciously to his dumplings. Then the i'm
perial phrase became proverbial. and
thereafter when any one insisted On
gratifying q silly whim some one was
sure to say:
emperor I am, and dumplings I will
haver'
