Knew What Steps to Take.

A weedy little schoolmaster, with
a watery eye and a ragged mustache,
was conducting a party Of his schol
ars around the geological gardens. He
had taken his students around all the
houses, in each one of which he had
impaired an assortment of more or
less inaccurate information. The last
place to be visited was the lion house.
Drawing up the gaping boys before the
cage Of the largest Of the animals
which he was careful to call the king
of beasts"-he said, with all the dig
nifty he possessed: And now, sup
posing one of the great brutes was
to escape, and was to hurl its massive
weight into our very midst, what steps
ought we to take so as to avoid be-
ing demolished and torn limb from
limb?" Without moments hesitation,
Bill Bailey spoke: Long 'uns, sir!"
said he confidently Answers.

Masculine Loyalty.

The family consists of two small
children and their devoted parents,
and of the latter papa usually helps
the small boy to bed, mamma taking
care of the small girl Occasionally.
however. something takes papa away
from home in the evening and mamma
does double duty. After one such ex-

father the true and deep-seated reason
why he preferred masculine assistance

ESKIM0S NOT KEEN TRADERS
VIII Give Anything, No Matter the
Value, for What Takes Their
Fancy at the Moment.

Among the Eskimos of the Boring
sea region, there is no fixed value for
whalebone, furs or anything they may
have to trade. II one Of them has any
thing of value, he will keep it until
some white man appears with some
thing that appeals to his eye. And
the money value of what may take
him does not make any difference to
him. II he has a trinket that may be
worth a dollar, and some one offers to
give him for II something that is
worth thousand dollars but of which
he has no need he will refuse to trade.
But he will give anything he possesses
for what he really wants.
An Eskimo of st. Lawrence island,
in Boring sea, made a catch one sea-
son of big bowhead whale. The head
of baleen was worth between ten and
fifteen thousand dollars. He knew the
approximate value of the head, but he
held on to It with no apparent desire
to trade. One day a trader appeared
with a small gasoline launch, valued
at perhaps two or three hundred dol.
lars. The sight of that so took the
native that he straighway traded his
head of bone for it.
Far out in the straits one day he
ran out of gasoline. He abandoned the
launch for the canoe he was towing,
and padded back to the island. But
be did not regret his trade. He was
satisfied, and ready to try for another
whale.-Youth's Companion.

The bright pupil frowned
my dear SIR. that is dead against

But. dear pupil said another
thoughtful-looking teacher, II have
been looking over these textbooks

sent to the office, where the superin-

your moral nature for at least five
minutes. Remember, you must all
