Gould jusi. bought a bull- dog for $5,000, and he is looking about to see which of his friends the bull most resembles, so:.that he can hGnor the lucky person by giving the critter Lis name. .In the meantime tne dog will be known as “Heath Baronet.” He has won 150 prizes. His large bead, small: ears, prominent eyes, his turned-up chin, the combative look of his face, his body—heavy in front —swung between powerful legs placed widely apart, his short, curved Back, and his characteristic hindquarters and tail all combine in the eyes of dog fanciers to make him easily worth $5,000. Mosquito Plant. The mosquito plant is attracting much attention in England at present. An army officer who secured one of the plants in Nigeria states that it is useldl there as a defense against mosguitoes.

The simplest form of gauge consisis of a funnel with a definite aven, say, twelve inches, the neck of which fits in a bottle. The rain that falls into the funnel runs down into the bottle, of course, and the quantity is measured by means of a graduated glass. Any boy can measure the rainfall for himself. Having provided the funnel and the bottle—the metal cylinder out- side is not essentinl—let him fit them as described, and then put them in a level, open place, away from trees and buildings; width the mouth of the funnel about a foot above the ground. The bottle should be fastened in position, to avoid being overturned by the wind, and should rest perfectly level. When the measure is to be taken the rater should be poured into a gradu- ated glass, and the number of cubie inches calculated, which will give the amount of the fall in proportion to the area of the top of the funnecl.—New York Mail. DECIDE WHAT ‘YOU WILL DO. An engineer who starts to build a bridge and then keeps finding better places to put his piers, and wondering whether he has selected the best loca- tion or not, will never get the bridge across the river. He must decide, then go ahead and build the bridge no mat- ter what obstacle he may strike. So it PICTURE PUZZLE. THE WOLF AND THE ~n — J amet | PEASANTS.

Earthwerrms' cannot live without moisture; their food is also dependent upon it. During droughts they burrow down to moisture often three or four feet, and it is only after rains, during hamid weather, or in damp earth that they may be dug un just under the surface or are seen traveling on the surface to new Iccalities, generally at night. Vegetable mold cften grows upo1 paverients and worms frequent such places. Often they crawl upon the hard sidewalks and cannot burrow down again. They are found in great- est numbers wherever there is decay- iag vegetation. Worms are friends of man and serve an important economic purpose.—I'roma “Nature and Science,” in ot. Nicholas. TUL OLDEST DOLL IN AMERICA. When William Penn sailed from Eng- land in 1699 he brought with him a doll of English make, which is the last strviving representative of that fa- nous voyage. This doll was sent to a Miss Rankin, of Philadelphia, by William Penn’s lit- tle daughter, Letitia, and was named after her. The doll is still in excellent prescrvation, and the big “floating” coutt dress of the day when she first came to light still adorns her person. It is made of brocade and velvet, and is extended gver an enormeus hoop. | is with the builder of character, he must decide finally what Le will do, and then make for his goal, refusing to look back or be moved from his course, Tens of thousands of young people with good health, good education and good ability are standing on the end of a bridge, at life's crossing. They hope they are on the right way, they think they are doing the right thing, and yet they do mot dare to burn the bridge they have just crossed. They want a chance for retreat in case they have made a mistake. They can not bear the thought of cutting off all possibility of turning back. They lack the power to decide conclusively what course they will take.—Success. CATCHING MONKEYS. In the Philippine Islands the natives catch monkeys in a funny way, says the Indianapolis News, The monkeys are fond of the meat of cocoanuts, which grow as plentifully there as apples do in our country. They are very lazy, though, about grawing through the outer bark, and will oniy do so when very hungry. The natives take advantage of their greed and in- dolence by cutting a small opening through the shell, just large enough for Mr. Monkey's long thin hand to pene- trate. When he once gets inside he gets his hands full of delicious, dainty meat, and his hand is naturally wider in this act than when it entered. Find- ing his hand will not come out, the monkey chatters and scolds, and plain- ly shows his indignation at the way he has been trapped, but never thinks of loosening his hold on the cocoanut and withdrawing his hand as easily as he put it in. There he stands, an an- gry monkey, until the man who set the cocoanut trap comes and takes him captive. FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW BETTER IRON PRICES. More Demand for Prcducts of Farm and Factory. R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: The last quarter of 1904 opens with n.uch brighter pros- pects than prevailed a year ago. At that time securities had fallen an average of $34 a share from the top point a year previcus, and there was a general disposition to curtail manufacturing and commercial op- erations because of the heavy losses. At the present time there are no alarming features, strikes are few and unimportant, while the indications of growing confidenge are numerous. Building operations are expanding, providing a better demand for lum- ber and materials. Manufacturing plants are decreasing the proportion of idle machinery. Movement of wheat is’ heavy. ; Foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed a small de- crease in exports and a gain of $2,163,346 in imports as compared with 1903. Secunity markeks have risen $14 above the corresponding date last year, and money is easy lant.
