Who is to Ulnme?
"I'm in the saddest sorrow," said the
pocket-knife of John.
"Because, you see, I feel to blame for
things that I have done.
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?"

"I will never play with that Archie

Horse No lligger Than a Hoc.
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.—

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.

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.

How tlie "Flanot" Came In.
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. —

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.
