u f^S FOR THE LITTLE ONES. A Brave Little Bey Who Saved Hit Brother From a Cougar. Four children of Mr. Rodenbere, whose home is at Big Skookum, go to school at a public school house • long way off. One Wednesday during the last of June these chil dren, being on the road homeward, were straggling along at some dis tance from one another, when a cougar sprang out of an ambush and seized the little boy who brought np the rear. This little fellow was the youngest of the party, being only six years old, and least likely to resist the beast, as that watchful creature seems to hare known when it saw the school children going by single file. The cougar seized the lad by the head and sat upon him, snarling at the older boy of the party, an eight- year-old youngster, who came to 6ave his brother. The brave boy had in his right hand a milk bottle of heavy glass. He took hold of one of the cougar’s ears and with the bottle began to beat the snarl ing beast over the head. At the third or fourth blow the bottle broke and a hundred fragments of glass were scattered about. It is possible that some of the fragments entered the cougar’s blazing eyes, for as soon ns the bottle broke he let go his hold and ran off, plungin; into the bushes, from which he dii not again emerge. Meanwhile the unhurt children took the wounded boy into a neigh boring farmhouse. The wounds were all flesh wounds and when they had been dressed the little fellow grew quite animated in his account of the adventure.—Seattle Post-ln telligencer.

In Japan they have a very simple method of dealing with birthday celebrations, the people waiving all claim to their individual natal day. There are two general birthdays, one for each sex. The male birth day, which is known as “the cele bration of the boys,” occurs on the third day of tho third month and the “celebration of the girls” on the fifth day of tho fifth month. These days aro general holidays for the young. The birthday of the mika do, or ten-o, as he is more properly termed, is also a general holiday throughout the country, the houses being decorated with flags and in numerable colored lanterns.

Tho to- tul number of curs shipped out of this territory during the berry season approximates2,217against 1,005 Just year. Reduced to crates the total number this year is 587,360 agains 500,302 in 1008. By expross tho total number of :ratcs was 71,000, which, when added to the shipments by re frigerator car, brings the grand total to 008,800 against 575,000 during the breaking your of 19u8. At a net average of $2 per crate to the grower, it will bo seen that more than a million and a quarter dollars have been brought to this territory from berries alono, to say nothing of tho em ployment of much imported la bor for transporting and gather ing tho crop.
