Four children of Mr. llodenliprg, whose home is at Big Skookum, go tO - Rchoo] at a public school hou«e a long way off. One Wednesday during the last of June these chil- dren, being on the road homeward, were draggling along at some dis- ten<<* from one nnothcr, when a cougar sprang out of an ambush end seized tho little hoy who brought up the rear. This little fellow was the joungtst of the party, being only six years old, and least likely to resist the beast, ns that watchful creature seems to have known when it saw the school children goi<ig by dnglc file. The cougar seized’the lad by tho head and sat upon him, snarling ut tho older hoy of the party, an cight- year-oid youngster, who came to cave 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 cars and with tho 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 altered the cougar's Hazing eyes, ' for ns sqon as the bottle broke be Jet go hi, hold ana ran off, plunging Into the bashes, from which he did ■iot again emerge. Meanwhile the unhurt children took the wounded boy into a neigh boring farmhouse. The wotindi were all 6csh wounds and when they bad been dressed the little fellow grew quite animated in his account of the adventure.—Seattle Poat-In- telligcncex. _ FREAKS OF CLOCKS. Sharing the Birthdays. In Japan they hare a very simple method of dealing with birthday celebrations, the people waiving all claim to their individual natal day. There are two general birthdayi, one for each sex. The male birth- day. which is known as “the colo- brntion of the hoys,” occurs on the third day of the third month and tho “celebration of the girls” on the fifth day of the fifth month. These days aro general holidays for the young. Tile birthday of tho mika do, or ten-o, as lie is more properly termed, is also a general holiday 'throughout the country, tho houses being decorated with Hags and in numerable colored lanterns.

It sounded 1,870 peals, then stopped, and after an intervui slowly began to toll as If for a great one dead. Tho political atmosphfcre of Kuropo at that time was Indicative of pm fount] j>once. Nothing of danger or dis grace could by any possibility t>e con ceived of as threatening Strussburg or its inhabitants. Yet less than a year afterward the German armies had en circled the city with a ring of steel aud tire. The German shells were falling tldekly In her streets and squares and exploding even within the precincts of the stately cathedral Itself. And precisely at 2 a. m. Sept. 27, 1870, Gen eral lib rich signed the capitulation which was to deliver Strassburg Into the hands of the Invaders. In the house of lords Is a certain his torical timeplede which Is said to In variably suffer from temporary aber ration whenever n member of the royal family of* Britain “paWf away. The peculiarity was first noticed when Wil liam IV. died. Very early In the morn- lng the clqck began to emit n series of peculiar gurgling noises, at though gasping for breath, went suddenly slow and Anally stopped altogether. AH efforts to start It failed, and on the evening of tho day of the funeral it restarted of its own accord, nor did It give any further trouble whatever for many years afterward. It has over and over again been no ticed that clocks, especially those sit uated In the turrets of high buildings having unusually deep foundations, are liable to go wrong In sympathy wltb seismic disturbances happening In dis tricts sometimes very fur away. On Nov. 1, 1705, for Instance, fully half the timepieces In Edinburgh were affected. Many stopped altogether. Others weut slow or fast or started striking wrongly. In this the supersti tious saw some eulamlty Impending, and it was not until news arrived of the great Lisbon earthquake that the alarm was allayed, it Was then dlscov ered. by comparing times and dates, that the tlrst shock must have traveled trow Fez ]n Morocco to Cape Wrath lu less than eight seconds. A curious coincident was then recall 1. On the evenlug of April 7. exactly live years previously, several thou sufids of persons, particularly those of rank and fortune, had camped out In Uyde pnrk and had thus passed the hours from dusk till daylight. This was to avoid an earthquake •hock which hud been predicted for tho early morning of the 8th by an ill leged "madman.” The threatened quake, however, failed to materialise, and the'scared ones got heartily laugh ed at for their pnlna. Nevertheless. It was noted ut the time that several of the public and private clocks of the tuetroiHills stopped at precisely tbe same moment on tbe morning In ques tion. mid this ('net at once took on a new iiml sinister significance. TWn* It possible.” people began to ask. "that tbe so called ‘madman’ was not so very ’mad* after al) and that IshhIoii Ii.hI providentially escaped wlmt might possibly have been a hid eous mid utipnralleled catastrophe?” Tlie so called “madness” of Mech lin's clock constitutes one of the most mysterious Incidents or tbe Napoleonic wars. It happened In 1800. Two years previously the Corsican usurper bad rased u |»oi1lon or the city to tbe ground, and the place tiad also suffered severely In other wytys. Hut the mag nificent cathedral had been spared, nnd then, as now. Its massive tower rising four square to a height of more than .'too feet ami bearing four dials, each forty-eight feet In diameter, was one of tbe most striking landmarks for miles and mill's urouml. Inside the tower was the gigantic dock, the biggest In the world. It had boomed the boyrs for longer tlmn the oldest burgher could remember and had never gone wrong. When, there fore. In tho early dawn of one summer day the great bell begun clanging furi ously small wonder that not only the city, but the whole countryside, was roused Mechlin Itself wus like o dis turheiI hive, men rushing from their houses half dressed, but all armed, while from every town and village within n radius of twcuty miles angry peasants poured cityward. It was u false alarm, however, afte» all. No assault followed. No column of dust on tbe horizon heralded the ad vance of the enemy, although anxious eyes watched all day.

A game adapted from the French that is very popular among the lit tle people of America ia a good test for the memory. It is played as followsT' ii ■■ ’unraiw^.. The children must sit in a circle, and^ne^as leader, announces in this fashion: "** “I pack my trunk, and in it I put”— mentioning some article used in traveling, as gloves, brush or cologne. The next child begins then, say ing what the leader has said and adding another article, and so on around the circle, each child re peating all the articles mentioned Dy the leadefin their correct order and then adding one more to the list, which after awhile assumes lengthy proportions. _ If one boy or girl forgets one ar ticle or puts it in the wrong order, he or she must drop out of the game, and the last child remaining has the privilege of starting a new game.
