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 MEASURE T1TEM. t .Gates. At first glance you would not doubt that the man with th'e top hat and the cape uoat was much taller than the small hoy in cap and knickerbockers. Yet an actual meas urement of the two figures with a pair of compasses or by marking on a piece of-paper will show you that they are precisely of’ the same heieht. Trv it. jr* 1 *"—— ■ 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. I almost continuously for a time, and they are yet very much in vogue. '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. —Carolyn Wells. 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. CURES BLOOD POISON. Scrofula, Ulcers, Old Sores, Bone Pains— Trial Treatment .Free.

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 ” ■ • Dyspeptics cannot be long lived because to live requires nourish ment.

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.” i To The Deaf.
