MR. GRAY SQUIRREL.
31 r. Gray Squirrel lives out in the park,
In a house that is up iu a tree;
He isn't afraid when he hears the wolves
bark.
And for tigers’ snarls naught cares he.
The lion may roar with a voice that is deep,
And the hears may growl in their rage,
The owl may hoot, when he isn’t asleep,
And the bald eagle scream in his cage.
31 r. Gray Squirrel minds not in the least,
When he hears all that terrible noise;
For he doesn't get frightened at bird or at
beast,
And will hardly run even from boys.
•Over he comes in front of my seat,
And up on his haunches he stands,
And the nut that I hold, pack-full of good
meat,
He will eat right out of my hands.
Oh, he’s a good fellow, is this Mr. Gray,
Oh, a right good fellow is he !
I like him first rate, and in his own way
I think that he rather likes me.
—James R. Perry, in Chicago record.
FRUIT INSTEAD OF CANDY.
“I wish,” said a doctor the other
day, as he watched a group of school
children troop out of a candy store,
where they had been spending their
pennies, “that I could form a society
among little folks, in which each
member would take a pledge to spend
all his pocket money for fruit instead
of candy.” It seemed a funny way of
putting it, didn’t it? But tlio physi¬
cian was very much in earnest, and at
the moment it probably occurred to
him that, as children like clubs, an
anti-candy club would be a very good
one for them. He wanted to do two
things, to stop their eating the un¬
healthful sweet and to coax them to
cat more fruit. An apple or a banana
or an orange can usually, one or the
other of them, be bought for the price
of a little candy, and the fruit is much
better in every way than the sweet.—
New York Times.
A GRATEFUL MILLIONAIRE.
The recent troubles of Africa have
called public attention to a large num¬
ber of interesting persons living in
the southern portion of that conti¬
nent. Among others who have been
conspicuously noticed is Mr. “Barney”
Barnato, who has made a great for¬
tune in Africa, and of whom a Cape
Town journal tells the following in¬
teresting anecdote: When a boy Mr.
Barnato went to the London Jews’
Free School, which has produced ;o
many leading Jews of the day. When
lie left, his teacher, who was much at¬
tached to him, gave him a penny and
his blessing. The years rolled by,
the friendless youth had made his
wonderful career in South Africa, and
the little “Barney” had become a per¬
sonage. About the time when half
London aud Paris were going crazy,
over the flotation of the Barnato
Bank, “Barney” was seized with a
fancy to visit his old schciolmaster.
With, great difficulty he managed to
hunt up the old man.
“Do you recollect,” he / said, when
they met—“Do yon recollect giving
your little ‘Barney’ a ptyQny when he
left school thirty years ago? Here it
is back again and with/compound in¬
terest,” and therewith e handed the
schoolmaster a chedfi for $525.—Har¬

QUEER TRADES/OF QUEER PEOPLE.
Perba y - vc seen the little ojd
man wi-m appears etory day in Lincoln-
park t with a basket on his arm aud u
bluiAt stick in his hand. If you watch
nim closely you will E ee him kneel
from time to time aud pick the mush¬
rooms which grow in considerabh
quantities all over the park. When
his basket is full he goes down town
and sells his harvest to some big res*
tanraut.
It may seem an odd way to make i
living, but there are hundreds of othei
occupations just as strange and neu.
There is the professional rat-catch(
the skunk-farmer, the man who makes
his living by picking up lost things iu
depots, theatres and hotels, and re¬
turning them to their owners with the
expectation of being rewarded; the
clock-winder, the man who collects
orange and lemon peels, and the syn¬
dicate which is now engaged iu rais¬
ing black cats for their fur.
There are stili other queer occupa¬
tions. A “rattlesnake farmer,” who
lives in the Ozark mountains, makes
the products of his “farm,” bring
money from three different directions.
The oil he sells to druggists, who have
regular customers that believe it to
be a cure for a hundred different ills;
the skins he sells to would-be cow¬
boys, who use them ns hat-bands and
neckties, and the skeletons are always
a ready sale, the purchasers being the
directors of museums.
The man who wakes people up in
the morning, the old cork collectors
aud the dog-catchers are well-known
characters in every large city.
The individuals who gain a liveli¬
hood in pursuits that are strictly sci¬
entific are equally as numerous as
those who follow the more humble
callings. In the list of occupations
that are strictly scientific is the manu¬
facture of artificial eggs, artificial
coffee and false diamonds. Also the
industry of making buttons, combs,
penholders aud other articles of a
similar nature from blood collected at
the slaughter houses. But the queer¬
est trade of all is carried on by two
young Pennsylvanians, who are mak¬
ing a regular business of extracting
the poison from honey bees. This
venom is supposed to be a remedy for
various ills.—Chicago Record.
TWO NAUGHTY BABY BEARS.
In the far North, where snow and
ice cover the ground even in summer,
two little Alaskan bears lived. They
were not as large as tho Examiner’s
JitlJe bears, so one day in June while
their papa and mamma were away an
Indian hunter found and took them to
his wigwam down by a lovely bay
called Yakutat. Pretty soon a big
warship sailed into the buy and an-
chored. Tho hunter knew sailors
liked little bears, so he took them in
his cauoo and paddled out to the
ship. The sailors were glad to see
these baby bears and gave the
Indian some tobacco aud took the
little ones for pets. Tho bears were
glad now, because they had ull the
bread and milk they could eat. Oue
day an officer gave them a saucer of
honey, for he knew all bears love
honey. Then you should hnvo seen
those naughty things. They quar¬
reled and scratched each other till
they had to be put to lied without
supper. After that each had it saucer
of honey for himself to stop their
quarreling. Ey
unu by they grew strong and
climbed the rope ladders with iho sail¬
ors and didn’t get a bit seasick. One
day Betsy, as one little bear was
called, fell off a ladder and hurt her
hip. Everybody was sorry. Ho the
surgeons were called, but when they
tried to fix her hip she bit them, aud
they had to put her to sleep with med¬
icine. Then they doctored her hip so
she could walk again. Now these two
little > bears were very funny and
cute and cunning, but they
couldn’t keep out of mischief. One
night the big chest where all the ship's
paints were kept was left open aud
these naughty little ones climbed in
and played with the paints. In the
morniug Oh, what a sight! One little
bear was red and the other very
green. They were dark brown before
this. They were very sick, too, be¬
cause they had eaten some of the
paint. They made every otic langla,
they Ipokc-d so funny, byt the Captain
was angry and had them sold to a cir->
cus. Today instead of being sailor
bears and going around the world they
are made cross by bad boys poking
stick at them in their cages in the cir¬
cus.
If they had not been nafighty and
meddlesome buch a thing would never
have happened to them, but instead
they would still be living on board the
beautiful man-of-war aud been petted
by the officers and sailors. —San Ernn-
•isco Examiner.

Delicate Organism.
The great majority of women “work
to live” and “li-»e to work,” and as
the hands of the clock approach the
hour of six, those em¬
B ployed in stores, offices,
_ mills and factories, hail
<9 IQ closing time with

their day’s Jf .

but (i Ar
some
iluties y/ f
yet /’ /
are
to be
performed, and many personal mat¬
ters to be attended to.' They have
mending to do, and dresses or bonnets
to make, and long into the night they
toil, for they must look neat, and they
have no time during the day to attend
to personal matters.
Women, therefore, notwithstanding
their delicate organism, work longer
and more closely than men.
They do not promptly heed such
signs as headache, backache, blues,
pains in the groins, bearing-down, “all
gone” feeling, nervousness, loss of
sleep and appetite, whites, irregular
or painful monthly all‘symptoms periods, cold and
swollen feet, etc., Of
womb trouble, which, if iiot,qhickly
checked, will launch them in a sea of
misery. * ;
There is but 6ne absolute remedy
for all tho{;e ills. Any woman who Mas
to earn-her own living will find it
profitable to keep her system fortified -
