How James Got Evnn.‘ One day John Green walking down the road. He was thinking how he should pass the afternoon. He decided to go swimming and play jokes on some of the boys. & bully and would hit the but didn’t dare to touch anyone larger than himself. That af- ternoon while in swimming he pushed quite a few boys in under the water. When he came out he made knots in the other boys' clothes. The next day his mother told him not to go in swimming, but he went, just the same. He was going to tie the boys' clothes again. James Taylor, a boy whose clothes had been tied by John, decided to get even, so he filled John's clothes with sand, put them in the water and then took them out again. When John put his clothes on he found that they were full of sand and mud. He went home. His mother saw that his clothes were wet and she gave him a whipping which he didn’t forget for quite a while. He never found out who caused him this whipping and quit playing jokes on the other boys. THOMAS BELL. Baltie. Rose’s Kindness. Mr. Avery had left his home in the country to stay at the ecity a little while. He went to visit his friend, Mr. Brown. He weat to Mr. Brown’s office and Mr Brown sald that he would intro- duce his friend to his wife and daugh- ter. Mr. Brown asked Mr. Davis why he aldn't go to the park. Mr. Avery him et four girls who were stylishly dressed. Across from them sat two poor ohildren, and the girls began to talk about them. Suddenly the car stopped and a girl about 15 entered. One girl said: “Oh! here comes Rose!” They made room for her be- side them. Very soon Rose was talking to the littlo children. She gave the girl a boarded a car for the park. Next to bunch of flowers and the boy a baskel of lunch Rose left'a pair of happy children. When Mr. Mr. Avery was introduced to Brown's wife and daughter he 1 have seen your daughter be- and then he told them about the girls on the car, and he sald: “Rose is a kind girl.” MARGARET M'VEIGH, Age 10. Norwich. How Fish Hooks Are Made. Boye and girls, how long do you suppose it would take you to make a respectable fish hook? What do you suppose it would cost you to have a first class workman make vou one as good as oné you can buy for a penny But T saw a magleal Mtfle machine not long ago, bite off a littls piece of steel wire, chew it a moment, and then gpit It out, formed Into & perfect hook, It would tess out these little hooks every half-secend, the different machines making the different sizes. There &re elght steps in the making of a fish heok by the machines I saw. The boy who tended one of them snatched specimens frem the machine as they were passing through and shewed me how each streke of the little chisels and hammers added to the of wire that went in, until it eame eut a finished hook, and ready te fish with, theugh probably the mere fa tidious fish wouldn't teuch it, because it hadn't yet beem polished. There are twe ways of finishing these heoks. Either they are japanned A distinguished German naturalist, Prof. August Champhausen, of Heldel- berg, has been making recently minute observations of a colony of red ants which exceeds anything that has yet been recorded concerning these mar- velous insects, asserts a writer in the New York American. These ants were discovered in the Cameroons, a coun- try of German Southwest Africa. Their ant hills, or, rather, cities, dotted the land In ceérafin regions like hay- cocks, and were frequently 15 and 20 feet above the ground. By long and patient observation it was discovered that these ants had a community life which might be com- pared to that of a model human city, and was in most respects far more highly and intelligently organized than that of any .existing human city. Up at the single entrance of the ant city there is always a sentinel day and night, keeping watch lest an enemy should attempt a sudden attack on the city, while about him is a guardroom in_which there is always a body of soldiers ready to answer the sentinel’s call, to detain prisoners or to sal forth on the appearance of a hostile army. These ants are divided into soldiers, policemen, servants and plain workers. If any working ant refused to work a policeman with big mandibles is called and promptly chops the head off the sluggard. On_the second floor from the top is the summer sleeping room of the workers, for these ants have separate summer and winter quarters for most of thelr functions and industries. On the third floor down the workers dine in summer, waited on by ant servants. Below this is the room in which the nts. recelve provisions and building materials, which are here packed up The Great Wonders of an Ant City ready to be used for daily require- | ments or stored away for winter use. On the fitth floor*down 18 the great barracks, where the soldiers of the ants’ standing army are drilled and trained in all the operations of war. These soldlers perform a most vital duty in the ant community, for they guard the queen mother, who has her summer residence a floor below. There she lays her eggs and hatches her young, a function which goes on only in summer time. The queen mother is surrounded with the utmost possible luxury and re- celves every attention from the other ants. The highest aim of their life is to provide her with delicacies and pro- tect her from injury, so that she may perform her wonderful function of pro- ducing young under the most favorable conditions. The queen nurses the eggs until they hatch as minute larvae or grubs. These she feeds with a sali- vary secretion until they are large enough to take vegetable nourishment, after which they pass into another de- partment of the city. The grubs grow slowly, pass into the inactive stage known as “pupation,” and finally hatch out in the form of small workers. From this stage they are taken in hand by nurses and instructors, who train them into efficient workers capa- ble of understanding the economy of the ant community. The vast major- ity probably become workers, while only a few very perfect individuals are endowed with active sexes and go forth to form new communities. On the seventh floor down we begin to see the most amazing department of the ant community. In this floor is stored the plant fodder for the aphids, or mileh cows, maintained by the ants. These aphids, commonly known as plant lice, draw juices from plants, which in thelr glands are changed Into a substance called honey dew. which gives them the black finish whieh the mest common one, or they are finished with that biue that is frequently put upon swords and outlery, It 18 done by heating them in a furnace tlil they come to a cherry red, a8 the workmen call it, and then then are poured into a Rucket of oil and left to cool. After finishing, they are taken up to the deft fingered girls, who rapidly count them by hooking them over a plece of coarse wire, and throwing out at the same time the Imperfect ones. Then they pack them in neat boxes, and they are stacked up ready for market. ROSE B. GAUTHIER, Age 13. Brooklyn. Obedience Is Rewarded. Carl Webster had- gone for huckle- berries with some other boys. He had planned to earn some money to spend when he went to the shore. His mother being afraid he would stay too long and get tired, told him to be back by three o'clock. He promised, and went off as happy as a lark When they arrived in the lot, they found the bushes loaded. Carl's eyes opened wide and soon he was picking berries by the quart. He was so en- gaged in picking the time went fast and it was three o'clock before he knew it. He hustled and told the other boys that he must go, as he didn't want to his mother. They teased him to stay, but all in vain; he ran down the lane and into the road as fast as he could. As he | walked up the path, what did he see! | A red machine, standing before his| very house. Then he spied a man, too. And, Oh! then he saw that it w Uncle John and his new red auto. How glad he was! That meant a ride.

The other boys t me to stay, but I couldn't disobe dear mother. “That is right,” “You are a goo take you for a ride. said Uncle b will That night when Carl went to bed, he sald: ‘Oh, mother, T am so glad I obeyed you.
