a lot of Others" said Danny to Nanny.
Il don't know" replied Nanny, but
I can tell you one thing, and that is
that you had better not have too much
curiosity. Don't go looking for Miner.
Don't go looking for trouble. He may
be asleep and he may not Either way,
it is no business Of ours"
Danny didn't say anything. Nanny
eyed him suspiciously, but there wasn't
anything she could say further She
had a very strong suspicion, however,
that Danny would slip away the first
And this is exactly what Danny did do.
"Of course, he's asleep" said Danny
to himself, as he started along tun-
mel he had not yet explored. "Of course,
Miner is asleep. If he were not. would
have found him before now. I should
like to see how he sleeps and where
he sleeps Nanny is silly. can't get
into any trouble down there. If Miner
is asleep, he will be perfectly harmless
and, of course, he is asleep. My good
ness, this tunnel is beginning to do
down deep! 1t is going down deeper
and deeper. I didn't know that Miner
went so deep. Hello, here's branch!
Now, which way shall I go? I don't
suppose it makes any real difference,
so will keep on the way am headed"
So Danny wandered along. He didn't
run as freely as he did through those
little tunnels up near the surface. He
was beginning to have just wee bit
of doubt. You see, there was fairly
fresh smell of Mole tickling his nose and
he didn't know just what to make Of it.
So he would run few steps and then
stop to listen. OF course, down there
in the dark he couldn't see a thing.
Then he would run few steps more
and again stop to listen. And all the
time he kept his ears open for any
strange sound, and he used that little
nose of his as Mother Nature intended
it should be used. Somehow, way down
there he didn't feel quite so bold as
when he was talking with Nanny up
on the surface. A strange place always
gives one strange feelings. 1t was just
so with Danny. Several times he was
tempted to turn back, but each time
curiosity urged him on. He wanted to
find Miner.

In the Lowly Estate.

Text: with the lowly is wisdom"
Prov. xi2.
Even in a palace. life may be led
we'll" said Marcus Aurelius. Implying
that 1t Is not easy to lead good life in
palace. Poverty has It's temptations,
but the temptations Of wealth are
greater and more subtle.
There are noble characters to be
found in the mansions of the rich, but
the worlds rarest and noblest charac-
tiers are usually grown in the plain
dwellings of the humble and lowly
Said Carlyle: "Sublimer in this world
know I nothing than a peasant saint,
one that must toll outwardly for the
lowest of mans wants, also toiling in
wardly for the highest" And he adds
Such a one will carry thee back to
Nazareth itself"
1t was from lowly carpenters home
in the despised village of Nazareth that
he greatest of earth's characters sprang.
And we cannot but recall this fact, when
We behold about us those rare saints
who have attained the purest and
Sublimest excellence of character, in
spite Of the narrow and hard circum-
stances under which they live.
Let not those whose lot has been
cast among the lowly assume that they
are condemned to mean existence. In
the lowly estate all the highest ideals
may be realized, the pureSt Joys tasted.
and the most worthwhile services
rendered-the result from which will
be the sweetest contentment that the
human heart can know. What greater
reward can life yield to anybody?
After all, as Shakespeare writes:
Tis better to be lowly born,
And range with humble livers in content,
Than to be perked up in Clustering
grief,
| And wear a golden sorrow.

could 60 down into the tunnels of Miner

tirely safe, unless they should happen
to encounter Miner himself.
Danny thought about this quite lot.
Although he had been in Miners tun-
nels before, he did not know as much
about this underground neighbor as he
felt he ought to know. He wasn't quite
sure what became Of Miner in the Win

seen Miner in the Winter.

REPTILE CASTS BEST
FOR MUSEUM USE
Colored Celluloid Forms Of Frogs
and Snakes Prove Better
Than Mountings.

A new method OF preparing exhibits
for the collection of snakes, frogs, toads
and similar animals has been adopted
at the museum of the Boston Society
Of Natural History. 1t produces exhibits
so much more lifelike than the mount
ed skins that it is startling to learn
that the creatures which coil or crouch
or cling to miniature tree trunks are
carefully tinted celluloid casts.
When a dead snake or frog Is re-
ceived. John D. Smith, preparation OF
the museum, poses 1t and then care
fully pours plaster over 1t. After this
has hardened, the animal Is taken out
and in the mold thus formed layers OF
a celluloid mixture are laid on with a
brush. Eventually the plaster Is broken
away and the celluloid frog or snake is
ready for the final touches.
Whenever possible, the coloring Is
done from the inside, while the cellu-
loid layers are being built up. This can
easily be done with snakes, but with
frogs the opening through which the
preparation must work Is so small that
much Of the coloring must be done
from the outside, after the plaster Is
removed.
Celluloid casts are in use in the Field
Museum in Chicago and are considered
by the Boston museum more satisfac-
tory tnan mounted skins OF reptiles or
amphibians. The skins are so tender
that they are difncult TO handle and
shrink soon after mounting. As they
quickly lose their color they must be
painted and look less lifeltke than the
celluloid casts.
New casts will be placed on exhibi-
ton from time to time, replacing most
OF the mounted skins. Mr.. Smith is
experimenting with new mixtures and
methods Of applying the celluloid and
hopes 10 improve the process. Among
the casts now on exhibition are black
snakes, bullfrogs and spring peppers.
