Just How Much? “I would do anything to get an ed ucation!” said Joe, savagely thumping the down sofa pillow till a flue, fluffy dust flew from seams and corners. “Just how much would you do, Joe,” said practical Uncle Phil, inter estedly. “As much as Elihu Burritt? "How much did he do?” inquired Joe. “Was he a boy without any chance?” “No, indeed!” said Uncle Phil, who never sympathized with whining Joe’s way of loqking at things. “As many chances as you have or any other boy with brains and 10 fingers. Had to work at the forge 10 or 12 hours a day, but that didn’t hinder him from work ing away in his mind while his hands were busy. Used to do hard sums in arithmetic while he was blowing the bellows.” “Whew!” said Joe, as if ho, too. saw a pair of bellows at hand. “How old was he? Older than I am, wasn’t he?” “About- 16, when his father died. By and by he began to study other things. Before he died he knew 18 languages and nearly twice that number of dia lects. All this time he kept hard at work blacksmitking.” “I don't have to work ,as hard as that!” said Joe, after awhile, with a shamefaced look that rejoiced his un cle's heart. Joe was a farmer’s son, and in busy times there w r as a good deal for a boy of his age to do. So far he had not been spared to go away to any prepar atory school to fit for college. So he had faint heartedly and sulkily given up the thought of going there. Some how, Uncle Phil’s words had put things Jn anew light.—Christian Up look. FislieO Variable Coats. Almost every one knows that many animals wear coats suited to the sea son, both in color and thickness, but few,. perhaps, are aware that many fishes do the same thing. “If speci mens of the black nosed dace are caught very early in the spring, one will be able to watch some interesting color changes,” says The Cornell Na ture Study Quarterly. “As the spawn ing time approaches the darkj band on the sides and the fins change to a bright crimson. Sometimes the whole body may be of this gaudy color. Dur ing the summer the lateral band be comes orange. As the season goes, the bright colors gradually fade, until finally in the fall and winter the little black nose is again clothed in its more modest attire. A great many of the fishes, and especially the larger ones, seek some deep pond or pool in the stream at the approach of winter, and remain near the bottom. If the pond or stream is so deep that they do not become chilled they will remain active, swimming about and taking food all winter. But when the stream is very shallow and the fishes feel the cold they settle down to the bottom, moving about very little and taking little or no food. The carp collect in small numbers and pass the winter in excavations that they make in the muddy bottom. If the debris thrown .up by the water across the marshy snd of a lake be raked over during the winter, one will probably find some of the smaller catftshes spending the season in a semi-dormant state.” Itenpect for tlie Courtesy stood for much in the old time when in war a ship that car ried those carefully dressed dolls that were then the exemplification of the latest fashions was secure from being fired upon. Gallantry forbade the fact of international warfare to come be tween the ladies and their fashions. The dolls that cduld thus save a ship carried the Paris modes all over the world, and their mission was respect ed by an intertiational understanding. , Paris in this way sent out her latest dresses, and informed the English and German women what Parisiennes were wearing. The dolls—two sisters —were desig nated “La Grande” and “La Petite Pandore,” the little one wearing the borne dresses, while her taller si/.ter displayed costumes for ceremonial oc casions. In later days the dolls that diverted fbe children of Queen Victoria were something a little above the common doll. Not content with a singl" speci men. the princess possessed an entire court. She kept a register of their and also of the real personages ihe meant them to represent—whether maids of honor, actresses or states men. Her collection numbered 132. of which o? were dressed by her own hands. In this brilliant galaxy figured Queen Elizabeth, the Earl of Leices ter and many other celebrities. Japan, however, is the land where, the doll has the greatest length of life, for here the women keep their in terest in the doll as long as they live. Of them the English Illustrated Maga zine says that the dolls, handed down from mother to daughter, arc a sub ject of great pride. “Why. she has 200 dolls! one of these women will ex claim, in the tone in which her west ern sister might refer to armorial quarterlngs. T l Spoiled picture. The Lloyd family had decided to have a family picture taken. All the family relations were to gather in the front yard at grandma and grandpa's home at 4 o’clock on & certain day, and the artist was going to take their pictures all together. Kitty Lloyd was very much delight ed, and asked her mother a great many questions about it. "Am I to be in it, mamma?” “Yes, dear—all the family.” “And Baby Ruth, too?” “Yes, all the children and grand children.” "Oh, mamma, can’t I have my dog Sandy in it. too? 1 think, if you have Baby Ruth, I ought to have Sandy.” "Well, you ask papa tonight.” When Kitty's papa came home that night the first thing he heard when his little girl came to meet him was; "Oh, papa, may I have Sandy in the picture with me? Mamma’s going to have Baby Ruth.” “I’m afraid you’ll spoil the picture," responded Mr. Lloyd; “and Sandy is worse yet. You see, we shall all have to keep very still to have our pictures taken, and I am afraid neither .you nor Sandy can do that.” “Oh, yes, we can,” assured Ivittie. “I’ll teach Sandy.” Every day after that Kitty gave San dy some lessons in standing still. The appointed day came at last: and Mr. Lloyd got out the big carriage and took th c m all over to grandpa's, when there was a large gathering of aunts, uncles, and cousins, who were to be in the picture. Sandy was allowed to go along, and Kittie was delighted. At last the artist came in a newly painted wagon, with a big. long word on the outside, which Kittie, after a good deal of spelling learned was “photographs.” It was very interesting to watch the artist take out his cam era and set it up on a little frame and peep through it with a little black cloth over his head. When his machine was ready he called the people to gether on the front porch; and with grandma and grandpa in the centre, the tall ones in the back and the short ones in the front, the people were ar ranged and made ready for the picture. Kittie had a place in the very front of the picture, with Sandy by her side, who was to sit up on his hind legs. “Now, Kittie,” said mamma, “you must keep perfectly still and not move, or you will spoil the picture. When the artist says ‘Ready!’ you must not even wink he’s through.” Kittie stood up very straight and looked just where the artist had told her to look. “All ready?” said the artist. “Now.” Kittie looked around awfully quick to see if Sandy was sitting up all right, and just then the artist took the picture. “Why, mamma, is it. over?” asked Kittie, as they all began to move around and talk. “Yes. Kittie,” answered mamma, “it's all over now, and you can run about and play.” The next day the proof of the picture was brought to Mr. Lloyd, and he showed it to Kittie. There was grand ma and grandpa, sitting up in the cen tre, looking as calm and placid as ever. There was mamma and Baby Ruth as plain as could be, and Sandy sitting up as straight as a dog could; but in thq place where Kittie’s face ought to be t/rere was the back of a curly head and a blur. “You moved,” said papa, “and you spoiled the picture.” Kittie burst into tears. “I only looked around to see if San dy was quiet,” she sobbed, “and then it was all over. I didn't think the man would be so quick.” When the picture was shown to the other relatives they decided that it was so good of grandma and grandpa that it must be kept. So in a short time .after Mr. Llovd brought home the picture, all finished and framed, and l ung it up in the parlor. Kittie cried bitterly and begged, him not to hang it up. but papa said he must. Then mamma took her little girl into the parlor and talked to her. “The picture is spoiled, dear, be cause you did not do as I told you at once. I told you to keep perfectly still when the man said ‘All ready;’ but you wanted to look around first and see what Sandy was doing. Now I want you to come and look at the spoiled picture very often, and always remember that it got spoiled because you did not “obey promptly.” Kittie tried hard to remember the lesson, and when she forgot to mind promptly, her mamma would often say: “Take care, Kittie. You are spoil ing your picture now.” Arid then Kit tie would smile into her mother’s face and hasten to do as she was told. — Sunday School Times.

In an order issued at Atlanta, Ga., Friday morning Judge J. H. Lumpkin declared a 10 per cent dividend to be paid to the stockholders of the South ern Mutual Building and Loan Associa tion. The payment is to begin August Ist of the present, year, and the amount in the hands of the receivers, including the assets, and the amounts afterwards received, are to be distrib uted pro rata among the stockholders according to the amounts standing to their credit. The order specifies that the non-bor rowing shareholders arc to receive payment in cash and the borrowing stockholders are to receive a credit of 10 per cent upon such part of the stock as is still nCld by them. The order states that the receivers. Judge James A. Anderson anu M. A. O’Byrne, now have sufficient funds on hand to declare a 10 per cent, dividend. The payment is to l>e made on presen tation of the certificate of stock. The receivers are authorized to make pay ment or to credit the dividend in cases of the loss or destruction of the certifi cates. provided satisfactory proof is presented. Judge Lumpkin also overruled all of the exceptions to the auditor’s report made by the advanced or borrowing members. He rendered judgment in fa vor of the receivers against all ad vanced borrowing or stockholders or members of the association for the amounts found due by each by the au ditor; not only a general but special judgment in each instance. The equi ty of redemption of each of the borrow ers in and to the property deed, mort gaged or transferred to secure an ad vance is foreclosed and forever barred. Judgment is. also rendered against the advanced or borrowing members for S2O, the equitable taxation of cost against them to date. The exceptions filed by the stockholders, claiming to have given notice of withdrawal, are overruled. Under the order they rank with the other stockholders and do not become creditors. It is adjudged , that each party pay the cost of hi3 own ! intervention. Judge Lumpkin sustained the excep tions filed by the stockholders holding certificates, whether paid up or not. guaranteeing dividends, to the effect that they were in the nature of credi tors and entitled to preference of pay ment out of the assets. They are re garded as stockholders and not credi tors and arc entitled to shares in the ji-.-:i...tu. 4J KNIGHT MARDWARIinn NEGRO SLAY* HIS PURSUERS.

Many old house keepers uses only newspapers that aro absolutely whole for wrapping wool ens, stating that this is thri best pro tection from moths. Others employ the paper bag-; that come for the pur pose and any moth destroyer. Before using the bags care should be taken to discover if there ifte holes and pin pricks in them, hud these should be patched with scraps of paper and paste.
