THE LITTLE ONES.
Ijittie Ad\ice Boys Will Do
Well to Follow.
If it becomes necessary for you to
leave school for a time and go to
work, do it gracefully. Work is hon
orable. S Don’t be afraid of it. It
would be an excellent idea for every
body to learn a trade. The old Jew
ish law made it obligatory, asserting
that if a man neglected to teach his
son a trade he did the same as make
him a thief. The emperor of Ger
many is a bookbinder. The fact
that you have a trade need not make
you work at it, but with a good trade
at his fingers’ ends and good health
to back it .a man is seldom floored,
no matter where he finds himself.
If you start to learn a trader remem
ber that the harder you work and
the more closely you apply yourself
the sooner you will outstrip all your
chums and land on the top of the
ladder where situations are many
and wages are high. Don’t be
afraid to work. Don’t be content
with merely putting in the allotted
time, but try and find out the best
way to accomplish the work you
have to do in the neatest and most
expeditious manner. You may think
that effort of this kind is not appre
ciated, but it is, and when some fine
day there is a chance for promotion
and when you find yourself singled
out from half a dozen of your
chums and sent up a step higher
don’t attribute it to luck.
On the other hand, if you go fool
ing along, doing just as little as you
can and not even that until you
are told repeatedly and then in a
slipshod and slovenly manner, don’t
attribute it to luck when some other
fellow is allowed to go several
rounds above you on the ladder at
■ better pay. — J. W. Burgess in
American Boy.
PICKLES AND MUMPS.
There has recently been an epi
demic of mumps among the school
children of Denver. According to
the rules of the health department,
a child may not return to school un
til he has fully recovered. Every
afternoon brought to the health de
partment 15 or 20 youngsters, some
with swollen cheeks and some with
out. It was the duty of the physi
cian in. charge of the office to exam
ine these applicants for clean bills
of health and see if any trace of the
infection remained. This worked a
hardship on mothers waiting with
them children, and Dr. Carlm, the
city physician, bethought himself of
the magic touchstone, by which
Miss Mollie Currigan, guardian of
the outer office, might herself test
the applicants.
‘Tickles are the thing,” said Dr.
Carlin. “If a person with the slight
est trace of inflammation in the
thyroid glands takes a bite of any
thing sharply sour, the face is in
stantly contorted. In extreme cases
the pain is severe.”
Now, when there is no doctor in
the office, Miss Currigan lines up
the applicants for certificates and
goes down the lines with the bottles
of pickles. If the child takes the
pickle, and smiles as a healthy child
should, he may go back to school
again, but if he scowls in pain he is
condemned to stay at home.
The healthy old man wears his
gray hairs like a silver crown.
What if he be three score and ten
if there is still fire in his eye, firm
ness in his step, command in his
voice and wisdom in his counsel?
He commands love and reverence.
Yet how few wear the mantle of
age with dignity. Dim-eyed, quer
ulous of speech, halting in step,
childish in mind, they “lag super
fluous on the stage,” dragging out
the fag end of life in a simple ex
istence. The secret of a healthy
old age is a healthy middle age.
The man who takes care of his
stomach,who keeps his body prop
erly nourished, will find that the
bydy does not fail him in old age.
The great value of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery lies in
the preservation of the working
power of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
From this center is distributed
the nourishment of the whole
body, the salt for the blood, the
lime fer the bones, phosphates for
the brain and nerves. A sound
stomach means a sound man. A
man who keeps his stomach sound
by the use of “Golden Medical
Discovery” will wear the crown of
gray hairs as befits a monarch,
with dignity and eaie.
TRAINED ANIMALS.
I When you go to a trained animal
j show, watch carefully and you will
j see that the trainer always gives his
j animals some sign as well as the
■ word of command. They look for
; this sign more than for the word.
Horses, and mules must have this
sign or “they won’t play.” The
best trainers say that a mule has
more intelligence than a horse, al
though he doesn’t look it.
It is likely that the reason why
birds are so difficult to train is be
cause they have small brains. A
woman once tried to teach an owl
to wear a cap and spectacles and sit
still behind an open book, but-the
job nearly drove her crazy, for it
was too much for his reputed wis
dom to learn even to do nothing.
A man that had one of the best
collections of trained birds ever
seen had for the star of the troupe
an immense green parrot that walk
ed a tight rope. How he taught it
this trick was always a wonder until
after his death it was found that the
parrot was an automaton, moved by
clockwork and balanced by weights.
A pig may be taught more tricks
than any other animal. He may be
taught to count, to select colors and
to pick out people, but he probably
obeys his master’s signs in doing all
this.—Little Chronicle.

ENGLISH KINGS AND QUEENS.
Now that Queen Victoria is dead
and her son, Edward VII, is on the
throne some one should revise the
old rhyme about the kings and
queens of England—a rhyme which
doubtless many of the boys and
girls have read. It used to appear
in the books of 50 years ago, but it
is a good thing even yet to know,
especially if yon are studying Eng
lish history. Here it is:
First William the Norman,
Then William, his son,
Henry, Stephen and Henry
And Richard and John.
Next Henry the Third,
Edwards, one, two and three,
And again after Richard
Three Henrys we see.
Two Edwards, third Richard,
If rightly I guess;
Two Henrys, sixth Edward,
Queen Mary, Queen Bess.
Then Jamie the Scotchman,
Then Charles, whom they clew,
And again after Cromwell
Another Charles too.
Then Jamie the Second
Ascended the throne,
And good William and Mary
Together came on.
Queen Anne, Georges four,
And fourth William all past.
God gave us Victoria;
May she long be the last.
A “LITTLE WOMAN” WAS LOST.
One day in Boston many years
ago a little girl wandered away from
home. She was missed and sought
for everywhere in vain. At last her
mother went to James Wilson, the
city crier, and soon that official was
going about the Boston streets ring
ing a bell and describing the little
girl’s dress and calling her name.
“Child lost! Child lost!” he said
again and again as he shook his big
bell. The little girl was lying asleep
in an alleyway, and, being awaken
ed by tbe bell and the name, “Lou-i-
sa Al-cott!” she sprang to her feet
and said sleepily, “That means me.”
And so it did. The little girl grew
up and became the author of “Lit
tle Women” and other books and
stories.—St. Nicholas.
HIS INSOMNIA CURE.
Captain Evan Howell of Georgia
was talking tbe other day in Wash
ington to Senator Platt about in
somnia. “Now, suh,” he said, ‘T
have a sure cure for insomnia, and
it is as simple as it is sure. When
you go to bed and can’t sleep, get
up and take a drink. Go back to
bed and wait half an hour. If you
do not go to sleep, get up and take
another drink. Repeat this, suh, at
intervals of half an hour. If you
do not go to sleep for four times,
making four drinks, then, suh, if
yon are not asleep, you will not care
whether yon sleep or not.”—Argo
naut.
A Cashier Testifies.
Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111:
Gentlemen—After twenty years of
aches and pains caused by constipa
tion brought on by sedentary habits,
I have found more relief in two bot
tles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
than all of tbe hundred other reme
dies I have tried, and I take pleas
ure in giving you this testimony, be
lieving you have tbe finest prepara
tion made for stomach troubles.
Very truly yours, D. F. Lange,

DUELING IN ITALY.
The duels fought in Italy during
the last 20 years number nearly
4,000, of which only 62 were fatal.
Jealousy and conjugal complica
tions were responsible for most of
tbe meetings, but it is curious to
learn that one-fifth were due to reli
gious discussion. The ashes of tbe
old church and state quarrels arc
apparently still hot.

THEY DON’T LIKE TALL HATS.
The municipal council of the little
French town of Courteuil is discuss
ing an ordinance forbidding the
wearing of tall silk hats within its
borders. The “stovepipe” is con
demned in the argument of the ad
vocates of the ordinance as a “ri
diculous headgear,” which, by rea
son of its costliness, constitutes a
badge of social superiority and is
therefore humiliating to those who
never wear it. The tall bat, reform
ers declare, “is used only by aristo-
1 crats who live and grow fat on tbe
fweat of the poor.”
