rtKsim i v'-i 1 i J,: \ isSfe /£ 11 RSI M / i 5 I .\~s Is 4 7 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¬ per’s Round Tabb J 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.

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 \ Yi ‘Wi \ joy. They <r* have won JS-V-rS* a their day’s Jf . bread, ^ y/ I 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.
