The Nickel proudly cried;
'•The head of Madam Liberty
Is stamped upon my side.
I am as white and shining
As any dime can be—
He needn't put on any airs,

•I'm every bit as good as gold!"
The Penny blustered louil;
•'That tiny, thin gold dollar-

How Birds Work.
Perhaps you fancy the birds don'l
work. Just watch them next time
yon have a chance anil you'll find they
are busy every minute.
During the summer thrushes get
up before 3 o'clock in the morning
and don't go to bed till after 0 o'clock
at night, so they work nearly 11)
honrs. Think of this next time you
feel inclined to grumble when you
have somothiug to do for mother.
Blackbirds are not so iudustrious.
They only work 17 hours, but during
that time they feed their little ones
between 40 and 50 times. Have you
ever seen a nest of young birds?" If
you have, J dare say that you have
noticed that their month is always
open, as though they were ready for
a meal. Ho Mr. and' Mrs. Dicky Bird
have a pretty busy time.

During the visit of the Princess of
Wales to the Loudon hospital a little
blind boy iu one of the wards was
sittiug on a chair, aud the princess
spoke to him. The chairman of the
hospital, thinking it would be nice for
the lad to know who had been speak
ing to him, said: "That lady who
has been speaking to you is the' Prin
cess of Wales. Would you like to
come up aud make your bow to her
and speak to her?"
The boy was delighted and jumped
off his chair. He was led up to the
princess, and she was told of his wish,
to which she very readily acceded.
The bow was duly made and then
came the speech: "How aro you,
miss?"—a speech which was hardly
expected, but which was answered by
five minutes' conversation, and the
boy returned to his chair proud and
happy.
A Chicken Without Wing*.
Chickens with exploring disposition
sometimes come to grief, and such
was the fate that befell a young occu
pant of a South Carolina barnyard.
The chick ono day found itself on the
threshold of the stable. Jt began its
ÜBital round of exploratiou, and pres
ently scampered into a stall occupied
by mule. This fellow, moved either
by hunger or a bad temper, put down
his hoad aud bit off the poor little
chick's two wiugs!
Strange tone late, but true, never
theless this chicken lived to grow up.
Of course it was never as other chick
ens,aud it had to be very careful about
running too fast. Jt eould tear aloug
in a at> night line without trouble, but
if it turned a corner on the run, over
it weut. In losing its wings it had
lost its equilibrium.
The poor thing came to a premature
end. One night it fell off the reost,
and landed oxactly on its back. With
out its wings it could not right itself,
and tbo next morning it -.vus dead.
How n Hoc XVa. Sold.
Here is a true dog story:
A family down town having a false
grate in one of the rooms of the honse
placed some red paper behind it to
give it the effect of fire: One of the
coldest days the dog belonging to the
household came iu from out of doors,
and seeing the paper in the grate, de
liberately walked up to it and lay
down before it, curled up iu the best
way to receive the glowiug hoat as it
came from the fire. Ho remained
for a few moments. Feeling no
warmth,he raised his head and looked
over his shoulder at the grate. Still
feeling no heat, he weut across aud
carefully applied his nose to the grate
and amelt it. It was cold as ice.
With a look of the most supreme
disgust, his tail curled down between
his legs, every hair on his body say
ing, "I'm sold," the dog trotted out
of the room, not even deigning to cast
a look at the party in the room who
had watched his actions and latigbed
so heartily at his misfortunes. I'hat
dog had reason as well as instinct.—

801 l Kindergarten.
Over ill Germany thore are 5000
children in one district alone who are
employed to dress dolls aud help in
the manufacture of various kinds of
toys. All the children who do this
work are under 12 years of age. They
are taught the art of dressing a doll
at the tender age of four. At the
same time, according to the compul
sory education law, they are obliged
to go to kindergarton for at least one
year, aud that term is devoted to such
things as the''making of dolls and
dressing them, doing everything, in
fact, excepting molding the heads,
which is done by nieu expert at it.
After that the German children have
three or four years of study, when
they are allowed to go into the doll
and toy factories to add to the family's
income to the extent of a few cents a
day.
The children who go to the kinder
garten have lota of fun making olothee
for the dolliea, and bo fond do they
get of some of the little waxen-faced
creatures that they are often sore at
heart when the matron comes aronad
aud collects them all, to be sent
abroad, many to America, where more
fortunate littlo girls may buy them
and keep them for their own.
]>£• ami Mniiltnyit in file Mirror.
I saw a performing monkey the
other day. He went through many
tricks very successfully. Tow ard the
end of the performance he was ordered
to put 011 his cocked hat before a hand
mirror -- which he did. He was next
told to set it straight, and he tried on
his geueral's headgear repentedly at
different angles, causing much laugh
ter. When all was over, and the
organ man, his helpers and the two
moukeys were preparing to depart, I
sow that "the general" had possessed
himself of the little mirror and was
studying his own countenance with
great delight. He had placed the
glnsH on top of the barrel organ, aud
he bent over it again and again,
grimacing energetically. He after
ward picked up his mirror and con
templated himself earnestly and con
tentedly at different angles. His face
had been profoundly sad, like the
faces of most monkeys I have seen,
but now the wrinkles smoothed them
selves ont and he nearly smiled!
Why is it that dogs hardly ever re
gard a picture as anything but a flat
surface with patches of color dotted
over it? In all my large canine ac
quaintance [ know but one dog who
sees that portraits are likenesses of
people. As for his own reflection in
a glass,a dog generally mistakes it for
an enemy and "goes for" it. Later,
when knocks on the nose and Absence
of scent have done their part in con
vincing him of his mistake, a dog will
look coldly, not to say despitefully, at
the mirror. Sometimes it is as if
dogs resented their reflections as
caricatures of themselves.—London

TIIO Pet ltonver That Broke Jail.
Professor W. W. Molntyre of
Toronto has, or bad, a wonderful pet
beaver named Buff.
Butt* was caught in a trap at Love
sick lake. He was a fine young beaver
about eighteen months old.
Bull'was soou quite lame, writes
Professor Mclutyre, so that the trap
pers could stroke him and he seemed
to like it.
When camp was broken up BufFwas
taken to a farm house and put into a
j closet. About 11 o'clock he went upon
an exploring expedition,cutting his way
through the door into the kitchen,and
thence wandering all over the house.
; It was easy to trace his trail, as tell
tale signs in the shape of chairs and
tables minus a leg, perhaps two, were
I strewn in every direction. He was
shut up again, but cut his way out
j once more, . this time, being beaten
with a small switch, he thundered up
on the floor with his tail, uttering a
pitiful cry.
As it was evident that he could not
be kept iu the house, a small stone
house was built for him.
But!' was quite an attraction to the
neighborhood, and numbers of people
came to see him, so that he was al
ways sure of a liberal supply of bread.
There was a small pond about 200
feet from the house,and the bovsused
to take him to it daily, first having
fastened a small rope around each hind
foot. Buff would swim uuder water
till he came to the end of his tether,
whon he would come to the surface
and swim back to the shallow water,
where he would sit and wash himself.
A largo sugar kettle was sunk in
the ground and filled with water for
him. Ho was also given a quantity
of poplar wood. He saw what this
1 meant, and set to work, cutting the
wood into pieces about two feet long,
setting them on end, resting against
. the upper rim of the kettle. When
j lie had built the framework of quite a
i large house he took mouthfuls of
earth, and with it stopped all holes
and cracks, making his house frost
proof. exhibited a keen interest
in everything about the place. Before
long the first snow fell, and Buff
sought his house, where he spout the
winter. When spring returned he
seemed possessed by a longing for his
old home. It had been his habit to
cnt wood given to him into lengths of
about two feet.
One evening the boys gave him an
extra large supply of wood, and he
seemed delighted. When all was
quiet in the night Buff worked con
tinuously, and, piling his short sticks
high enough for him to reach the top
of the fenco he regained his liberty and
returned to bis brothers.

RUBBER CATHERERS IN BRAZIL.
The 17. S. 8. Wilmington Explores tta#
* Amazon River.
"By studying on a map of Brazil
yon can sco that the Fata river ex
tends almost due vest south of the
Island of Marajo, to a net-work of
narrow streams, known as the Passes,
which connect the Parn with the
Amazon. These numerous channels
are from 70 to 150 yards in width,and
some of them are navigable for ves
sels of 18 to 20 feet draft. These
Passes are interesting enough to those
traversing them in small craft, but to
the officers and sailors of such steam
ers at U. S. H. Wilmington they are
trebly so. At night there is little to
arrest the attention other than the
weird, dark shapes of tho banks, which
ever seem close aboard. The land
beiug low aud Hat, and the trees near
the water's edge, it seems as if the
ship has forsaken her natural element
and is running overland on invisible
wheels.
"When daylight comas in a sudden
burst of light likejthe unheralded flash
of the theatre's illumination, there is
revealed on each side of the narrow
channel tho forest's solid hanging
vines, of creepers and foliage and
branches brilliant with the multitudin
ous hues of tropical vegetatiou.
"There is a strange chattering of
animal life and a whirr of winged
insects. The discordant cries of
myriad parrots echo from the trees.
There is human life, too. Here and
there embowered in tho jungle can be
seen little wooden huts,with thatched
roofs and sides open to tho cooling
winds.
"These are the homes of the rubber
gathers, who labor day in and day
out collecting the milky sap of the
Hevea brasiliensis. This rubber
gathering is interesting, and tho Wil
mington's crew watch curiously as the
winding channel reveals little groups
of natives at work along tho edge of
tho stream.
"Those on board who have read the
descriptions tell others of the manner
in which the half-naked Indians labor,
of how each family works what is
called an 'estrada,' or street, a path
through the forest, which embraces as
many rubber trees as can be con
veniently teuded, of how these trees
are slit with a machete and a cup
fitted in the cut to catch tho sap, and
of the manner in which the owner
makes his daily round aud brings to
his hut the collocted juice.
"There is also interest in the des
cription of its next stage, when tho
sap is dipped up by a stick and re
volved over a smokey fire. The smoke
causes each layer to coagulate ou the
stick, and when the desired amount is
formed it is removed and made ready
for shipment. These balls of crude
rubber usually weigh in the neighbor
hood of 25 pounds, aud are of a dark
lustrous hne. It was a novel experi
ence, this visit of the Wilmington's
crew to the home of the rubber gather
ers, and the closest attention was paid
to tho everchanging scenery as the
white cruiser steamed slowly along
through the Passes."—AinHlee's Mag

A Walter Wlio Sieve I the Czar'* 1,1 fr.
The Havre correspondent of the
Petit Jonrnal has made the discovery
of a man who 30 years ago was the
talk of everybody aud everywhere.
He is none other than Ernest Groult,
who is now 62 years old. It was he
who seized Berezowski as he was
about to assassiunte the Emperor of
Russia. It may be remembered that it
waß on the day of the Grand Prix
that Berezowski fired two shots at
him. Groult, who was a waiter at
the time, was carrying a telegram
to tho Marquis de Datnpierro,
and happened to be close to
the assassin. Without a moment's
hesitation Groult seized him. A
hand to hand struggle took place be
tween the two meu. What followed
is well known. Next day an aide-de
camp of the emperor came to con
gradulato the waiter and ho gave him
600 francs and a watch. He wanted
to take Groult to ltussia but he re
fused. He was wrong, for since then
misfortune nd oblivion have over
taken him. He sent n potition to the
Russian government setting forth his
destitute condition, hut it was re
jected. The poor man is now a waiter
in a small hotel in Havre, but he is
unable to work any longer, and says
he must go to the hospital. Berezowski
was condemned and sentenced to
transportation. Ho runs this version
of the event. It does not appear to
be quite exact—London Globo.
More Tlian He ('tin d Manet.
It is related of the Emperor Wil
liam of Germany that, at a recent re
view in Berlin, he reprimanded old
General von Meerschoidt for losing
bis presence of mind at a critical
moment. "If your majesty thinks
that I am getting too old, I beg of you
to allow me to re ign." "No, no,"
replied tho Kaiser, "you are too young
to resign. Indeed, if your blood
didn't course through your veins quite
so fast, you would be a more useful
army leader. " On the evening of that
day the Kaiser and the general met at
a court ball. The general was talking
to some vonng ladies. "Ah Meer
scheidt," cried William, "that is right
—get ready to marry ! Take a young
wife; then that excitable temperment
of vonrs will soon vanish." The old
general, it is stnted, bowed low before
his imperial mejesty as he coolly re
torted; "I beg to be excused, your
majesty; a young emperor aud a
young wife would bo more than I
could possibly stand."

How will your cough be
tonight ? Worse, probably.
For it s first a cold, then a cough,
then bronchitis or pneumonia,
and at last consumption. Coughs
always tend downward. It's
first the throat and then the
lungs. They don't naturally
tend to get well. You have
to help Nature a little.
You can stop this downward
tendency any time by taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Then
take it tonight. You will cough
less and sleep better, and by i
tomorrow at this time you will
be greatly improved.
You can get a small bottlo of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, now, for 26 cents. For
hard coughs, bronchitis,asthma,and tho
croup, tho 60 cent slzo Is better. For
chronic cases, as consumption, and to
keep on hand, the SI.OO slzo is most
economical.
