Perhaps they are coming to see you Lulu Gray is =a nice little girl, and you play with her.’ Mabel went with her auntie to the door. She could hardly help laugh- ing at the little gypsies But her good breeding saved her from being rude. Lulu, when she saw the little girl dressed in silk, forgot what she meant to say and looked at Maggie but Maggie was even less prepared than Lulu to make a speech. So Lulu stammersd out: ‘We brought some Easter eggs that we painted, but we must go right back 'cause mamma don’t know we came.” Mabel took the eggs and thanked the girls very politely, but they would not go into the house. “What do you suppose she thought of our eggs?’ asked Lulu, as soon ns they were out of hearing.

How Spurs Are Won. the way in whish a man ‘wins his spurs’ (to employ a phrase in use in army posts on the frontier) never lacks fascination to me.

F. fore the Columbian School of Mines A very interesting misapprehension which in the minds of people is one concerning the vita dangers which lurk in the pressure of, say, 1,000 volts. The newspapers often tell of a man who has been killed from such a pressure whereas in fact, such a pressure alone could {not kill a hamming bird. 1 have | frequently caught in my hand sparks | possessing an electro motive power of 100.000 volts without feeling any- thing more than a very slight burn. The danger arises only when the volts are re-enforced by a good many am- pheres or currents. In such a case the force of the current suddenly de- composes all the fluids in the body. The salt in the blood instantly turns to chlorine gas, and the person who has his veins charged with such a deadly poison cannot be expected to live many seconds.” opinions given by Chandler be 1 exists many | Author of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb." Mrs, Sarah J. Hale, the famous editor, cook and patriot, to whom we { owe our national Thanksgiving day is the author of “Mary Had a Little | Lamb.” She wrote the poem in { 1820. Dr. Lowell Mosan composed the music, and the poem was pub- lished by Marsh, Capen & Lyon, of Boston, in 1880. There waa no real Mary. Mrs. Hale had a pe lamb when a child, which followed her to school, and she used the incident in | the famous poem.

Wrong Inflicted on Sailors A sailor on a troopship informs me of a curious grievance from which he and his mates suffer. “The ship's company is limited,’”’ he writes, ‘to two parrote for each mess of about twelve men, and if these are not in uniform cages they are thrown over board.” Tastes, of course, differ, but I should myself have thoughtan allowance of one parrot to every six men on board a troopship was not an unreasonably small one. ‘A. B.” evidently thinks otherwise, however, and this is not strange, perhaps when it is remembered on the author ity of Mr. F. C. Burnand’s once pop- ular lyrie, that Jack's “heart is true to his Poll.”’ ci Ant Nests in Trees. The ants of Malacea make their nests in trees, joining the leaves to- gether by a thin thread of silk at tho ends. The first step in making the nest is for several ants to bend the leaves together and hold on with their hind legs, when one of them after some time rang up with a larva and, irritating it with its antennae, makes it produce a thread with which the leaves are joined. When one larva is exhausted, a second is Hypnotism and Crime, 1t is possible that special legislation will have to be resorted to in the matter of the connection of hypnos tism and erime.
