There is more than one kind OF ami.

For instance, crocodiles in the Nile
make friends with little bird called
the Egyptian plever, which feeds on
the insects Chat infest their jaws, and
also on the pieces of food that cling
to their teeth. No crocodile will ever
harm this bird, for not only does It
save him from having bad teeth, but
1t prevents him from being considera.
bly, irritated by the flies, An even
more curious animal partnership than
this is that which exists between the
hermit crab and worm called
"nereis." The hermit lives in the
empty shell of some other shellfish;
but as he is very untidy creature
and litters his house with bits OF
food, he induces the nereis worm to
come and live with him. In return
for shelter the worm cleans up the
hermit's dwelling by eating all the
refuse that is left about the shell.

In addition to the corn silage and hay

"Two-year-old steers weighing about
1000 pounds may be started on about
20 to rs pounds of silage, 6 to pounds
of clover or alfalfa hay, and S to 6
pounds of mixture consisting of six
parts Of corn to one part cottonseed

of two weeks the cattle may be

UPS and Downs Of the Balkan Church.

They continue to have the outward ap'

Christians many centuries ago. Then
the Turks came and the buildings were

Woman's Attitude Toward Law.

In most cases woman is lawless;
she will obey the law because she is
afraid of it, but she will not respect
1t. For her it is always sic volo, sic
jubeo. | suspect that if she had had
q share in making the law she would
not have been like this, for she would
have become aware of the relation be-
tween law and life. Roughly she tends
to look upon the law as tyrannous if
she does not like it, as protective if
she does like it. Probably there is
little relation between her own moral
impulse, which Is generous, and the
law, which is only just. (That is, just
in intention.) This is qualified by the
moral spirit in woman, which increas-
ingly leads her to the view that cer-
tain things should be done and others
not be done. But even then it is
likely that at heart woman does
not respect the law; she may respect
what it epresents-strength- not
what 1t implies-equity. She is in
finitely more resellious than man, and
where she has power she infiames the

ans general attitude.-W. l.. George,

RUSSIANS FOND OF ANIMALS
All Classes of the People Teach Chill.
dren to Be Kind to All Spe cies
of Beasts.

No one can be in Russia for any
length of time without noticing the
kindness that the people show to an
imals, writes Curtis Guild in the
Youths Companion.
The beautiful Russian folktales.
which are just beginning to be trans
lated into English, teach children to
be kind to all animals. The very
name Of the most terrible animal in
Europe, the bear, shows the sympa-
thetic, affectionate attitude of the Rus
sian toward animals. In every other
European language with which | am
familiar the name Of the bear, with the
r." rolled as It is universally except
in English, suggests a fierce. growing
wild beast. In Italian 1t is orso; in
French, ours; in German, baer; in
Scandinavian, bjorn. But the Russi-
ans think of the bear In friendly,
rather jocular way, and call him
miedvied-"the fellow who likes
honey" AS matter Of fact, however,
the peasants seldom use that word.
They call the bear mishka, which
means Little Michael, or Micky.
Because the Russian is kind to ami
mails and to his fellow man you must
not think that he Is q coward. The
Russian Is, think. the only hunter
who kills the biggest bears single
handed with spear; and SO we find
a naturally gentle race displaying in
war the most dauntless bravery, not
only in the excitement Of a bayonet
charge, but in the stubborn endurance
of defense
The Russian Is very fond Of pets.
l have seen that embodiment of un-
bending and wooden faced dignity, the
conventional butler. forgetting his thin
silk stockings and pumps, dash out in

far below zero, to rescue a starving
kitten, which he thenceforth kept in
his own room. have never seen q
Russian boy throw stone at dog

SIZE AGREED WITH OLD LADY

Am I pretty, mother?" asked Pris-
