FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
FILIPINOS LIKE SOUSA.
Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., and the Collec- j ^ Stanley Hollis, the United
tions He Prizes So Highly. States consul at Lonrenco Marques,
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of ^ho is visiting in this country on a
the vice president, isthe exact oppo- ; leave of absence, says: “My work is
site of the average boy. He is an so exacting that I have found little
original character, inheriting his fa- time to mingle with people. One of
flier's positive disposition and em
phatic ways. His tastes are mature.
In winter Teddy slides down Saga
more hill on his skis and his sled
and in summer fishes, bathes, rides
his pet pony arid takes walks
through the woods. He is fond of
gardening and is a born naturalist.
He owns some guinea pigs and has
the pleasant recreations there is to
visit the kiosks, or cafes, along the
• central square, whence the city is
built out within a radius of., two
miles, while the fine government
band is playing. I-t may seem a
; strange statement for that city,
, which is distant from Washington a
! 70 days' voyage, but the Portuguese
fare extremely fond of the Sousa
a museum in which all the sped- \ marches. Their band played thein
mens are labeled. There are sam
ples from faroff China as well as
from nearby places. Among them
are an owl, an ostrich egg, birds' ! perhaps the most popular of them
eggs in all sorts of nests and sever
al choice birds. There are bats and
lizards which Teddy himself has
stuck. His collection of beetles is
large and beautiful. He has sam
ples of butterflies from China, each
in a glass case by itself: There are a
fragment of a Spanish flag taken
from a Spanish ship and a Spanish
sword and several other Spanish tro
phies. He has a large collection of
Bouvenir buttons, pins, pictures, etc.
He is fond of swords and pistols and
often visits his father's gunroom,
where Eat Carson's celebrated rifle
and a large number of guns of every
description are to be found. In this
room are massive heads of buffalo
and deer and jugs made out of the
sldns of bears and tigers shot by the
vice president. The boy* is a good
student and learns quickly. He
takes lessons on the piano. Teddy is
15 years old and has two brothers
and three sisters, one brother, Ker-
mit, being 11 and the other, Archie,
5. The girls are Alice, 16; Ethel,
9, and Quentin, 3.—American Boy.
The Roar of the Lion.
The roar of the lion can be heard
farther than the sound of any other
living creature. Next pomes the cry
of a hyena and then the hoot of the
owl; after these the panther and the
jackal. The donkey can be heard 50
times farther than the horse and the
cat ten times as far as the dog.
Strange as it may seem, the cry of
the hare can be heard farther than
that of either the cat or dog.
Do Your Work Well.
Every boy should aim to do all
his work at least a little better than
any one else can. He should give
it thought, figure out how he can
save time and money for the firm
and yet improve the character of the
work done. He should study econ
omy in doing that part of the firm's
business that he is looking after—
try to firid short cut methods that
will 8ave time anft money. Sugges
tions are always in order.
A New Optical Illusion.
Professor Gates of the laboratory
of psychology at Washington has
been experimenting with optical il
lusions, and he has found some new
designs that completely deceive the
human eye.
Here, for instance, is a strange
picture that has interested Professor
| all.' Sousa is a Portuguese name
| that one hears very frequently wher-
’ever Portuguese live, and there is
a strain running through his music
that catches them. When I return
to South Africa, which will be soon,
I intend to take along with'me a
bundle of the latest Sousa marches
to present to the Portuguese gov
ernor.”—New York Tribune,
The Nickel Plated Cow.
The nickel plated cow is entirely
a twentieth century invention, and
she is healthier and turns out bettei
milk than the ancient cow with no
metal fittings about her.
Cows in many parts of the coun
try are liable to a disease of the
horns which causes them to split
and become fibrous near the place
where they join the head, and when
once the disease has a firm hold the
cow wastes away badly, yielding
poor milk and scant in quantity.
The latest improvement is to help
nature out by electrolyzing the roots
of the horns and by binding them
with hands of nickel or chilled steel
nickel plated. This prevents the dis
ease and checks it if it has begun,
and a great many of the most up to
date dairy farms are adopting it.
Cows are not nickel bound in this
way till they are full grown, but the
budding stumps of calves' horns are
often tipped with an alloy of metals
to prevent the top splintering, as it
does in some strains of even the best
breeds. The hocks of cows, too, are
frequently fitted with leather caps
containing surgical splints.
What Singers Eat.
Notwithstanding their tremen
dous affection for each other, Jean
and Edward de Beszke seldom agree
on a breakfast or dinner. I am told
that while the big basso indulges
frequently in a thick sirloin steak
with rich gravies the tenor rarely
eats beef at all except in a roast and
then only a morceau. Plancen and
Fischer are beef eaters, and so are
nearly all the well known "baritones.
Melba, Nordica, Eames and Calve
are said to live on uncanny foods

luring the singing season, as Byron
did when in the throes of poetic
composition. They like garlic and
raw artichokes witn vinegar, broths
of bitter herbs, saffron biscuit, eggs
and lemons. The contraltos, who
seem to have lost in popularity in
the last decade, eat pork to keep their
vocal cords well lubricated and are
not afraid of a steak at any time. It
(iwrald seem, therefore, that the high
er the voice and the more expensive
the greater the care required in its
treatment from an alimentary point
of view.—New York Press.

'The Washington Post March' was
'A Hero.
Napoleon Wellington Dewey Malone
Was the bravest young hero that ever was known.
He vowed and declared he would not be afraid '
In a battle, a skirmish, a siege or a raid.
He repeatedly stated he thought ’twould be fun
To face howitzer, cannon, sword, pistol or gun. j
He wished all bis friends and his neighbors to
know.
That bravely and calmly be*d mefet any foe.
Now, Napoleon Wellington, fearing no harm,
Went to visit his uncle, who lived on a farm,
And out in the barnyard be had such a shock!
There came rushing toward him a great turkey
cock i
With wide, flapping wings and tail spread like a
fan;
Napoleon Dewey just turned round and ran.

The Peking Gazette's Adventures.'
The Peking Gazette, which justly
claims to he the oldest newspaper in
the world, having been founded in
1130, may be said to have appeared
with an irregularity tantamount to
suspension during the late Chinese
troubles. A very few copies of this
journal have survived those trou
bles, as the Boxers made a point of
destroying all the printed matter
they could lay their hands on con
taining edicts, etc., hostile to their
cause and of decapitating its pub
lishers. Consequently The Gazette
had to be secretly printed, and it is
only lately that some member? of
the editorial staff have been able to
return to Peking under the protec
tion of the American authorities
there. It is a significant circum
stance that during its existence for
seven and a half centuries every sus
pension of its publication has been
followed by the establishment of a
new dynasty.—London Chronicle.
Actually Carried a Chair.
Many people seem to remember
only by an effort that the Empress
Frederick was the princess royal of
England. She herself never forgets
it. It was a grievance of the Ger
man court that the wife of their
crown prince always remained “die
Englanderin.” Bismarck was never
tired of growling at it. Her easy,
informal manners were always scan
dalizing the stiff Prussian court.
Soon after her marriage she shocked
her lady in waiting by carrying a
chair across the room for herself.
The lady protested. It did not be
come a princess of Prussia, she re
monstrated, to carry her own chairs.
“Well,” replied her mistress, “the
princess royal of England doesn't
mind doing it. In fact, I have often
seen my mother carrying two
chairs.”—London Answers.

A Story of Sir Arthur Sullivan.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie told a
characteristic story about Sir Ar
thur Sullivan in a lecture the other
day. While rehearsing “The Golden
Legend” Sullivancomplainedto Mac
kenzie that he could not get away
from the influence of comic opera,
whatever he wrote. “You"know,”
he said, “when in the 'Legend' the
soprano comes on to sing, T am not
here to argue, but to die,' I can't re
sist the feeling that the chorus
ought to emerge and sing in true
comic opera fashion, 'She don't
come here to argue, hut to die 1 ”

Rapid Boring.
A novel method of boring holes
in a flat bar of iron was recently
adopted on a ship where a break
down occurred. To repair the
breakage it was necessary to make
bolt holes in a spare bar, and, as the
engineer was without the appliances
required for the purpose, he marked
the exact places in chalk and then
fired a .30 caliber bullet through
each from a rifle.
Modern Safe Breaking.
Compressed oxygen and carburet-
ted hydrogen were made use of by
burglars lately in breaking open a
safe in a London postoffice. It 9 is
supposed that they provided them
selves with a bottle of oxygen and
obtained the other gas from a jet
in the building, thus producing a
flame intense enough to destroy the
lock.
Reciprocity.
Congressinan Littlefield of Maine,
himself a total abstainer, is telling
of a temperance advocate who re
cently offered a saloon keeper $10 to
be allowed to hang a temperance
placard behind the bar.
“I'll give you the same amount,”
was the reply, “if yon let me hang
my ad. hack of your pulpit.”
