KILEY. © WO DOLLARS A Katered in the Postoffice ut Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, How Brown Bears Catch Salmon, Alaska’s brown bears near the Ber- ing sea live largely on salmon and are extraordinary fishers. Before be- ‘ginning to fish they .always place themselves on the downward side of the river. “They seem to smell the calmon by some _ extraordinary means,” says a hunter, “and then be- gin dashing in and out of the river. at some shallow place, rarely failing to catch a fish. They bring it out on the bank and devour it, if possible selecting some thick patches of bushes and grass in which to make their meal, which does not take them jong.” British Warship Joke. A good original story is to hand from H. M. S. Alacrity, yow in por mmy, the young Chinese steward attending on the wardroom mess, heard one of the officers at dinner nplaining of the unusually hot te the mustard had. Next day the mustard pot was miss- and could not be founé. Sammy s called and, after being ques- d, admitted having put it in the ic st, as he had heard the offi- cers complaining thet it was too hot. —South China Post.

Now, 2 any little boy or girl tell me which grows on the kitten—fur or feathers?” A dead silence followed for a min- ute, when one little boy said in a loud voice: “G-o-o-d Lawd! Hain’t you never seen a kitten?”—Life, eS ee The Bett. He died . Alas, they said, what promise died With him—what youth, what eloquence, they sighed— ‘Yhey who had left him lonely days tc live, ‘Withholding then what now they fain would give. But his rich grave, that te the living seemed So dark, had brimmed with starlight as he dreamed, And far away a muted bell set free Rang in immortal choirs his ecstasy. —Louise Morgan Sill in the Outlook. Humor of Clerical Life. To those about to seek admission into holy orders, the ordinary is a time of much anxt ety, sometimes of mental confusion. This, perhaps, accounts for the un- usual behavior of a young candidate who, dismissed on the Episcopal door- step with a solemn “God bless you,” jhastily answered, “Don’t mention it, my lord.”—Strand Magazine. Benefit ot Collegiate Course. President Weodrow Wilson of Princeton: “You don’t need to send a boy to college to find an education, it’s to find himself, to find his relation to the life that is around, and to become value to the nation. ‘rhe class room is not vital, because one man ninates, one mind is master. I be- lieve that the only way to learn is by <= your mind aldngside of some mind and drawing conclusions. Nothing gives a youngster cathol‘city of view like rubbing against the men of various parts of the country.” ee To Remove Printer’s Ink from Paper. To remove printer’s ink from paper place a thick pad of blotting paper be- neath the sheet of paper which is soil- ed. Then apply sulphuric ether with cotton wool, gently. rubbing. Finally apply white blotting paper to absorb the color. Continue the application of fresh ether and repeat until all stains disappear. Do this away from a light. Printer’: ink is soluble in ether, oil or turpentine, and benzine. of Alcohol in Ancient Times- Considering the possible influence cf alcohol upon human eyolution, Dr. Campbell assumes that such ations as those of Babylon and pt may date back 30,000 years and that agriculture by migratory tribes may extend back 30,000 years more, but concludes that the use of alcohol as a beverage has not been known more than 10,0C0 years. He finds no reason to believe that, as was sug- gested some years ago, the discovery of fermented liquor gave the first civ- flizing quickening to the brain of the ape-man. YEAR IN ADVANGE “Our lesson this morn- . an interview with | “There is a cause for the crink hab- it which even good Christian parents do not understand,” says a writer in What to-Eat. “They cannot realize why their children, with beautiful sur- roundings and daily Christian influ- ences, sometimes go far astray, be- coming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall haxe exhausted all other efforts to lo- eate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all proba- /| bility, find the source of ‘the evil. From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of. their digestive organs, As soon as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill of fare. These, as well as the other ar- ticles of food, are necessarily swal- lowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentatioa sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irri- table, quick tempered, untruthful, and it would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood.” PREPARE FOR LONG FASTS. Nature Takes Good Care of Animals That Hibernate. A large number of species of ani- mals undergo more or less prolonged and continuous fasts during the pe- riod of their winter or summer sleep. During such slumbers the more active functions of the body are to a great extent suspended, while those that are varried on act slowly and entail com- paratively little waste of tissue and energy. Moreover, before the period ot the winter torpor or hibernation takes place, many animals, such as bears, accumulate large stores of fat on various parts of the body, whick suffice to supply all the waste entailed by the respiratory functicn during the period in question. Fat is also ac- cumulated by the mouse-lemurs of Madagascar previous to the summer sleep, or aestivation, and is used up in a similar manner, their summer sleéps being undertaken for the pur- pose of avoiding the season of great heat and drought, when food is dif- ficult or impessible to procure. ee “An Sin, Esquire.” By way of corroborating my view that the title “Esquire” is utterly de void of meaning, one of my readers mentions that in. Singapore, where he has resided for eleven years, it is not only universally bestowed on lNevery white man, but-also upon the wealthier Chinese and Asiatics. “Ah Sin, Esq.,” looks and sounds well. It will surety lend an additional attrao- | tion to life in a Rand mine or com- pound when the Celestial knows that the wealth he amasscs out of his “av- erage minimum” wage will entitle hia to such a designation. He could nov get a peacock’s feather or a yellow jacket at home for anything like the | price.—London Truth. Grouse Has Many Defenses. The grouse has a hundred tricks ez | defense. It will lie still until the hunter is within a yard of it, then soar straight upward in his front, towering like a woodcock; again, it will rise forty yards away, and the sound of its wings is his only notice of its pres- ence. It will cower upon a branch under which he passes, and his cap will not be more than a foot below it “as he goes, and though it has seen him approaching it will remain quies- cent in fear until his back is turned. It will rush then, and when he has slewed himself hurriedly around he will catch only a glimpse of a brown, broad wing far away. One of Corea’s Superstitions. Near the city of Seoul, the capital of Corea, is a hill called Pouk Han, which was formerly trees. The legend runs that so long as a tree remained on the hill so long will Corea maintain its independence, and therefore no one-is allowed to ‘ut or touch a tree. But the natural consequence of this want of forestry has been that the trees have gradually died off, until now only one is left. On this one tree it is believed that the fate of the ‘country rests, and when it goes Corea as an independent state will go with it. Furnished rooms with or w'thout board.—Thos. B. Munn.

Water, as the writer points out, is a food, and it should be taken in sum- mer weather as a regular article of diet. The habit of drinking iced wa- ter is discountenanced, and the ice cream is barred as the most fruitful cause if innumerable dyspepsias. Bet- ter than cold drinks are hot drinks, and tea with a slice of lemon is rec. ommended as the most cooling drink in hot weather. VARIOUS KINDS OF DAYS. Word Said to Have No Peal Meaning | Without Defining Adjective. Five kinds of day are recognized, and it has been said that the word “day” has ‘no real meaning without an adjective defining what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil day, the wstronomical day, the apparent solar way, the mean solar day, and the sid- ereal day. The civil day begins at the midnight preceding mean noon, and consists of twenty-four hours counted after twelve o’clock; the astronomical lay begins twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean roon of the cor- respouding civil day. These hours are reckoned from 0 to 24. It will be ‘gen, therefore, that while 10er. 12min., January 1st astronomical time, is also 10hr. 12min. January 1st civil time, yet 22hr. 12min., January 1st as- tronomical time, is also 10hr. 12rcin. a. m., January 2nd civil time. There are many anomalies growing out of this use of the civil day, and there are many arguments in favor of using the astronomical day. It is one of the reforms which undovbted!y will come some time. The Old-Time “Nanna.” A writer in a recent number of the | Queen expresses the opinion (which is shared by many other people) that children are not one whit better brought up by the smart, white frocked, certificated nurses so much sought after nowadays than they were “zy the comfortable “Nanna” of the days gone by. The old nurse still holds a place in the hearts of the men and women who knew her loving czre when they were children, and tiey will| never forget her “treats’ that used to delight their hearts. “Best of all,’.«says a woman, “was lantern tea, when all the lights were put out, and the rursery was illuminated by penny tin lanterns, containing colored can- dies, which cast weird shadows on tho solemn faces round the festive board.” During the Day and Night. It has been seriously asserted by many people that we are naturally lighter after a meal. and they have even gone the length of explaining | this by the amount of gas that is | developed from the food. Average | observations, however, show that we lose three pounds six ounces between night and morning; that we gain one | pound twelve ounces by breakfast; that we again lose akout fourteen ounces before lunch; that lunch puts on an average of abeut one pound; that we again lose.during the after- noon an average of ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner to healthy persons sdds two pounds two ounces to their weieht ichanves of | The messenger becrme a de \““Phe Russian tracks be along the coupe are very That Cracks Lenses - ef a Micrometer. The astronomer after the ience of many years has found that the spider furnishes the only thread which can be -successfully used in earrying on his work. The spider lines mostly used are from one-fifth to one-seventh cf a thousandth of an inch in diameter, and, i addition to their streneth and elasticity, they have the “peculiar property of withstanding great temperature, and often wheu measuring the sun spots, al- though the heat is so intense as to crack the lenses of the micrometer eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not in the least injured. The threads of the silkworm, al- though of great value as a commer- cial product, are/so coarse and rough compared with the silk of the spider that they cannct be used in such in- struments.
