At school on Monday morning last I made my owner late, While with my point he slowly scratched his name upon his slate. On Tuesday afternoon he stopped to play awhile with me By cutting deep his name again upon a cherry tree. On Wednesday—oh, what can I say to tell how shocked I am?— He used my blade to open wide a jar of currant jam. On Thursday I was used to do the sad dest deed of all: I cut a lock of curly hair from Nelly's pretty doll. On Fridav I was digging through the side of Willy's drum, When suddenly my blade was snapped and cut mv master's thumb. On Saturday (that is to-day) my blades are nicely shut, And John has got a bandage round the place that I have cut. And so, you see, I'm sorry for the mis chief I have done; But tell me, please, am I to blame as much as Master Jonn?" —John Lee, in Oassell's Little Folks. Itny and Archie. Ray has a boy friend about his own ago named Archie. They are in the same class at school. The teacher put them both up into a higher class to gether, they did so well. That is, they were allowed to skip one class. They play for hours together. • Archie is a line boy, and they both like each other very much, but they are always quarreling. Then Ray will say, "I will never play with that Archie again." And Archie will say. "I will never play with that Ray again." And yet the next time you see them they will be playing away as pleasantly as ever and will be just as good friends as before. Did you ever see such boys?

Sometimes the other hoys, knowing they are really good friends, like to urge them on and set them to fighting, and they are foolish enough to let those other boys get them to do this, hut perhaps some day they will learn better.

A French scientific journal an nounced a few weeks ago that the smallest horse in the world had just arrived in New York City. Sixpence, it said, his name was, and it gave Ills height as seventy centimetres. Now, however, the same journal says with some glee that Sixpence has been de throned since a smaller horse has just been discovered in a French circus. This horse is four years old and only sixty-five centimetres in height. His name Is Prince Asha, and he is the son of two small Iceland horses or ponies. Why his stature is so remarkably small scientists are unable to explain. A photograph shows that Prince Asha is only about the size of an ordi nary dog. and much smnller than the school girl who was holding the dog.— New York Herald. Teaching Dog* Politeness. A school for dogs has been estab lished in Paris with the object of teaching not letters, hut politeness The school room Is furnished with chairs, tables and rugs to give the necessary "local color" to the sur roundlngs. The dog pupils aro trained to welcome visitors by jumping up, wagging the tail, and giving a low bark. When the visitor leaves, tbe dog accompanies him to the door, and bows his farewell by bending liis bead to tbe floor. He is trained likewise to pick up a handkerchief, glove or fan that lias been dropped and to return it to tbe owner. He is taught, further, to walk with "proud- aud prancing steps" when out with bis mistress. The Tight Hope Walker. We need two corks and four matches. The matches we insert into one of the corks in such away that they form tbe arms and legs of the little man, as shown in figure. These arms and legs we can bend in all directions, giving the little man all the possible positions of a tight rope walker. The head we make of a round piece of cork, the nose of a small chip of cork, which we insert into the head; the inouth we cut with a penknife, and the eyes as well as eyebrows we burn in with a red-hot piece of wire. To balance our little man on the rope we cruelly stick two forks in his body. as shown in figure. If wc make an in cision in one of his legs and give the thread forming the rope a slight slope to one side, we can make him walk from one corner of the room to the other.—New York Tribune. Queer Home of M Mouse. Mice are to be found tbe world over, and nearly always Infest tbe liaunt* of men. They ofteu take queer no tions Into their heads about where they shall make their homes, and one of the oddest of these is here recorded. The mouse built a nest In the tea kettle, and as the lid was not open enough to allow ingress and egress by way of it, even If the mouse could have reached it. the little animal went in and out byway of the spout. This answered very well until the little fel low grew too fut to get through, as he did in time, and one day stuck fast in the spout and died there. The Busy Bee. Great, indeed, is the amount of work which a busy bee will do in a day. Every head of clover consists of about sixty flower tubes, each of which con tains a very small quuntity of sugar. Bees will often visit a hundred differ ent heads of clover before retiring to the hive, and in order to obtain the sugar necessary for a load must, there fore, thrust their tongues into about 0000 different flowers. A bee will make twenty trips a day when the clover patch Is convenient to the hive and thus will draw the sugar from 120,000 different flowers in the course of a single day's work. On.

THE story of the rescue of the scurvy-stricken sailing ship Planet, from Mexico to Queenstown, by Fred W. Bry ant, second mate of the steamer Crown Point, of Philadelphia, 13 one which 110 invention of Mr. Clark Russell could surpass in interest. The Planet, de layed by head winds aud hurricanes, was 107 days out, and her food had "gone bad," when she signaled the Crown Point and asked for a tow. Her erratic movements had already at tracted attention; something was clear ly wrong. Mr. Bryant was sent nbourd her and the case explained. A hawser was then attached, but it parted with tbe first strain, and bis captain decided not to try to tow, If Mr. Bryant would undertake to sail the vessel into port with such help as her sick crew could give. The young man thought he could do It; it should be but a week to Queens town. He found that tbe first mate had already died; the second mate and the captain were dying. There was no well ntan on board, and some were suffering terribly. The vessel belonged In Hamburg, and of the German crew but one man spoke English, and be cmpktyvd this language promptly to Inform his new officer that there were other foes besides tbe scurvy on board —tbe second mate's terrier, which guarded his berth aud would not leave It, had hydrophobia, while the vessel was Infested with poisonous "schmall schnakes mit feet"—that Is, scorpions, which had escaped from the logwood of which the cargo consisted. Anorther trouble was that the ship's medicines—and Bryant had to be pre scribing physician as well as sick nurse und navigator—proved to be labeled in German, which be fc eould not under stand nor bis ignorant Interpreter translate. The Grown Point bad left good pro visions for a week, but the ship was becalmed aud they ran short. Worse than lack of food was lack of sleep, which be could not be spared to take. From the log-hook which he kept dur ing that dreadful fortnight some en tries have been published. They need no touch from any romancer's pen to heighten the picture. "Friday. Galled at 1.30 a. m. to go to second mate, but went on deck first, and fonnd ship staggering under muin royal with nearly a gale of wind blow ing. Took in royal, foretopgallnntsail, mizzentopmast staysail, gafftops and out jib. Saw second mate, who ap pears to be delirious and wants me with him all the time. I saw that he couldn't possibly last long, poor fellow. • * * Second mate died. Nobody but the boy Max and I was with him at the end. I am pleased to say that lie lost consciousness about four o'clock and bis deatli was a very peaceful one. * * * Took in maintopgallantsail. What with the death of tbut poor man and a gale blowing, my hands are pretty full. Ido wish I could get some sleep. * * * 7.30 p. m. Buried sec ond mate, Max reading prayers for the dead from the German prayer-book. Blowing a gale with mountainous sea. Ship plunging heavily at times. "Sunday. Breeze dies away again, and we are becalmed. This is perfect ly sickening, and I feel nearer dis heartened to-night than I have done before. My head is very funny, and I am afraid to lie down at all, for I feel 1 am thinking of three or four things at once. I hope I shall not go off my head. I don't think I have far to go." His strength held out, however, and port was reached in safety. The res cued erew, already recovering under his care, tlinnked their exhausted pre server with three deep-throated Ger man cheers as he left the ship. The story became public through the testimony necessary to adjudicate the Balvnge, and Mr. Bryant was thanked by the British Board of Admiralty, and promoted by the owners who employed him—a happy ending to a grim and gruesome voyage. Bury Comrntle and Eat Pugs, Aboard the steamer Excelsior, which recently arrived at Seattle, Wash., from the north, were Charles E. Lowe and John Grlswold, miners. Griswold had not left his berth from the thne the steamer left Juneau, Alaska, until he was carried into an ambulance and taken to the hospital. His hands and feet had been frozen. One of Lowe's feet had been frozen, but he was able to walk and assisted In the removal of bis invalid compan ion. Those men are two of a party of three that started from Nome several months ago iu aii attempt to reach the outside. While progressing through the northern country In the region of the Kuskokwlm they were overtaken by a blizzard and lost their way. They wandered about for days, ex posed to the fury of a blinding snow storm aud a temperature that reached thirty degrees below zero. Occasion ally one or the other of them would be overcome by an intense desire to sleep—that Arctic drowsiness that knows no awakening—and only by pinching one another and resorting to the sternest measures were they able to ward off the fatal slupor. Finally their food gave out, and for days they went hungry. Starvation Anally compelled them as a last resort to sacrifice and eat their dogs. One by one the huskies were killed and eaten, but the piercing winds con tinued, and exposed without apy shel ter as they were their suffering was intense. They were near Tiklik Lake when the severest storm was encountered. It was while there, on April 0, that one of the party, Dr. Robert Miller, of Whatcom, died. The two survivors built a crib as best they could and placed tlie body of their companion in it, tenderly covering it with frozen twigs and boughs. For weeks the other two men trudged -on, nursing what little strength they had left with a daily diet of dog's flesh. They finally reached . civilization, more dead than alfve, and after days of careful nursing were able to board the steamer Excelsior at Ju nqpu to come to Seattle. Lowe has left for Whatcom, where he will relate to Dr. Miller's relatives the story of suffering and death. Ousted by ltuttlegnnkes* In a little country home in an out-of the-way place near Seneca, about twenty-five miles from Prairie du Chien, Wis., lives Muns Helgerson with his family. For many years he has lived there on his farm, and two years ago built a new home and was to take life comfortable. Of late the family have been both ered considerable by rattlesnakes that have infested the house since early spring. Terrified and discouraged by the presence of the reptiles, he has moved his family back into their old •homestead and the new home is being torn down. They have been troubled with the rattlers for some time, and •at times they feared their lives were in danger. The snakes were despatched as fast as they made their appearance, but with the summer approaching they grew more numerous and the house hold was terrified. Occasionally one would get into the house and while none of the family were bitten, they were constantly filled with fear of the dangerous reptiles. One evening a short time ago, as the family were about to retire for the night, the mother found a large rat tler, measuring about three and a half feet, lying on the bed. Another instance, while Mrs. Helger son was rocking her baby to sleep, the house cat gave an alarm and a large reptile lay coiled under the chair. It was no unusual occurrence to find them in the cellar and hear them climbing in between the walls and in the ceiling overhead. Last summer the family could stand it no longer, and as soon as spring opened up, moved to the old home and returned in the fall. Early this spring a rattle snake den was found in a small cave close by, and although hundreds of the reptiles hgd been killed about the door yard, they seemed to be just as nu merous as before, and Mr. Helgerson decided to tear down the house and rebuild it near the site of the old log house on the other side of the farm. — St. Paul Piuoeer Press. Tain of Fire on an Oil Ship. Granville Thompson, assistant engi neer of the Philadelphia oil-tank steam ship Major Barrett, which was burned at sea off Bodies' Island, on the Caro lina coast, tells this story. The Barrett was a veritable firetrap. We knew that the tanks were leaking soon after leaving New York. She was a wooden ship, which increased the danger. We simply trusted to luck and steamed away on the voyage. Off Cape Ilatteras we caught a storm which tossed the steamer about, and caused the tanks to leak still more. There was an Inch of oil in the bilge, and we had to buihl a dam of clay to keep It from running into the fire room. Occasionally when the ship would roll, the oil would splash over the dam, but by great care we kept It from catching fire. At four o'clock Saturday morning, when the ship was running ten miles off the coast and almost opposite Bodies' Island, the eruption came. I was on watch in the engine-room when I was suddenly startled by a loud ex plosion. It came from under the holler room, and was followed by a burst of flame from the tank amidships. After sounding the alarm for the pur pose of waking the sleeping officers and crew, I tried, to get out a hose and turn a stream of water on the fire. Be fore anything could he done, however, the flames broke into the engine-room. 1 did uot have time to stop the engines, and was badly singed before I reached the deck. With hull all ablaze, she continued to rush through the sea, which made it more difficult for us to launch the boats. An hour after the fire started the steamer sank, leaving a lake of burning oil on the water to mark the spot. It was not long before the New Orleans was sighted and we were picked up. A Cycllftt's Ismcu With a Lion. An exciting race between a bicyclist and a lion occurred recently on the road between Bienne and Soleure, Switzerland. The animal belonged to the Ehlbeck Menagerie, which was traveling by rail from Bienne, and on the journey It escaped from the train. It happened that just at this moment the cyclist passed on the road beside the railway. He saw his danger and pedalled away furiously, with the lion bounding after him. Fortunately he managed to keep well ahead, and thi; Hon, which made Its way into a stable on the road, was shot dead by the manager of the menagerie. The cy clist is a man named Spring, living near Bienne. It's a good thing to he too busy to tell your troubles. MISS VIRGINIA GRANES Tells How Hospital Physicians Use and Rely upon Lytllu E.
