FULTON COUNTY NEWS. FOR THE LITTLE ONES.' four Mountain Llona Mad HI Hair Stand on End. I whh in ttu; mountains of Idaho Tjth ft friend nnd we rnn whort of froth mnut, ko ono day I took my jpin nnd started olT uloin. I wnnt into a raviiio nnd wn making my w along a little brook, when I i'.htii' Hiiddcnly upon n quorr piglit. x,'ot four feet in front of mo, in tho full blaze of tho kiiti, lay four moun inin lions anlorp. For half a minute I tlimight thorn dead, but aK I stood fitnring at them with my heart in my mouth every one of tliem sprung up with a growl. Then they faced round at mo, look ing ugly, pnilling tho air with their whiskers drawn back, showing the vrliitc line of their teeth, switching their tails nnd looking like demoiv. As for mo, 1 flood ro"tod to the fnot. I wouldn't move, from sheer fright. A, queer numb sensation begun in my ankles and crept up my body, nnd I literally felt my hair rise. I stood there motionless for sev eral minutes; then one of tho beasts dropped his tail nnd whined. Tho others followed his example. My presence mystified them. A few seconds later they turned about and crept 11 way down lhe ravine, looking back stealthily two or three times to 6cc me. When they were out of sight, I began to breathe again. I didn't euro to hunt any more that day and mado for the camp at top speed. That was the time my hair stood on end, and my scalp M'us soro to the touch for a week afterward. St. Louis liepublic. The Game of Duck and Drake. Puck and drake is played by shy ing bits of slate, tho Hat shells of oysters, or thin, smooth stones, on the surface of a pond. Whatever is used should bo thrown so that it mny merely touch the surface of the water, otherwise it will not rebound several times, which is the aim of the player to mako it do. If it re bounds only oice, it is a "dick;" if twice, a "duck;" if thrice, a "dick, duck and drake." That player wins the game whose slate rebounds the oftenest. A Peculiar People. On the hanks of tho Purus in South America dwells a peculiar tribe of people who are spotted in n very queer manner. All members of the tribe are similar in this re spect, iiR;:i, women and children being mottled black and white. They live almost entirely on iish. A Boy's School Record. It is an honorable achievement for a boy whose school life has ex tended over a period of nearly 1 1 years never to have missed a single attendance throughout tho whole of that time, yet this is the unique record possessed by Master Abel Iioberts of Llangollen, England, lie was admitted into the infants' de partment of the board school in that town in 1888,- when he was only 3 years of ago. From the infants' school ho duly passed into that of the seniors., Altogether, for ten A DEL HOUEItTB. - years and nine months he was pres ent both mornir.g and afternoon with unerring"regularity and punc tuality, not even being compelled to absent himself from his school duties on one einglo occasion through illness. Another boy in the same school hoasts a similar record for six years. Can any of our American boys show as clean a record for school attend ance? American Boy. Early In the Morning.

The "new woman" has now como to the rescue. This means an awakening to latent capacities and powers and a revising and new appreciation of old duties and obligations. In no place does this new woman shine with a finer light than she does in the home, where her intelligence reaches tho remotest corners, brightening and bettering all things. Tho important subject of bread makinjr, which should head the list of cooking accomplishments, will, with other things, receive proper study, and sooner or later the per fect loaf will not bo a matter of luck, as it so often is now, but tho result of a thorough understanding of ingredients, their combination and conditioning.
