— 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. LITTLE JOHNNY’S QUESTIONS.

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.

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.

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.” To The Deaf. A rich lady, cured of her deaf ness and noises in the head by Dr. Nicholson’s Artificial Ear Drums, gave $10,000 to his Instute, so that deaf people unable to pro cure the Ear Drums may have them free.
