THE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 1902. A Modest Request. To judge from an incident reported in the Washington correspondence of the New York Tribune, the department of agriculture sometimes appears from a distance like a big department store. Durin; FOR THE LITTLE ONES. An Instructive Collection For a Boy to Make. •• Every boy at some time or other of his life has probably collected birds’ eggs, but a collection of wish bones or "merry thoughts” is unique. Have our young readers §ver seen 'such a collection or thought of it, or that there is a connection between birds’ eggs and the wishbones or the skulls of the birds that laid the eggs, and that it is interesting to study the two together? One learns from them a good deal about ele mentary anatomy. In many muse ums collections of birds’ skeletons lie beside the eggs. A deal box varnished and about 15 by 18 inches and 6 inches deep is a very suitable size and will hold at least 100 eggs and as many wish- bones. It must be fitted with a glass, sloping downward from the back, sd as to give greater depth for the larger eggs. The eggs may be arranged in rows, marked out by wooden partitions, with trays one above the other. If the collection grows to any size, a mahogany cabi net may he provided, and if such a case with if& ivory white wishbones or skulls and eggs, systematically and neatly arranged, each with its appertaining eggs, were sent to the county fair it would certainly carry off a premium. A Rainy Day Money Maker. The Hew York Times tells of a boy who makes money on rainy days by funfiishing protection from the rain to persons caught out with out umbrellas. As soon as school is out on a rainy day he takes his umbrella to the foot of the stairs leading up to one ,of the elevated railway stations, and as people come down the stairs he offers to them the use of his umbrella at the rate of three blocks for 5 cents for one person. - He makes quite a neat lit tle sum every rainy day. He says he could make more money if he could supply rubbers. A Sign Reader. "I’m beginning to be able to read signs!” said Harry, rushing into the house to display his new accomplish ment; "Ho! Are yon really?” asked a round eyed small sister. “Yes, indeed. Listen to this: What do you think it’s a sign of when our old gray cat catches a bird?” r The little sister pondered and gave it up. . "Fm sure I don’t know, Harry. Do tell me.” "It’s a sure sign of bad luck for the bird!” cried Harry; rushing out again in a hurry.

No style has ever been so suddenly and completely damned by the approval of the populace as this rather expensive fad in hats. In the smaller cities the woven headgear may hold its vogue for a time yet, but here the well-dressed man has put it away from him as an unfit thing and re turned to the old flat-topped sail or. Of course the reason is that a tlood ot cheap imitations haB filled | the market, and every Ioungiug corner ornament and perambulat ing “masher” has one perched jauntily on his intellectual peuk. And the worst of it, the expensive, genuine article, ranging from $15 to $50 isn’t to be distinguished at one yard’s distance from the fake. —August a Herald. i It is strange that so many prisoners escape from that federal prison in Atlanta with a Hawk od guard all the time.

J the season when members-of congress send out seeds one of the packages found , its way back to the sender, accompanied by a note from the farmer to whom it had been ad dressed. “My dear sir,” wrote the farmer, “1 appreciate your good will in sending the seeds, but my eldest daughter, Ma tilda, is going to marry the doctor down to the village next njonth, and wife and I think of. giving up the farm and going there to live. If we do, the seeds won’t be much good, as we shan’t have a garden; so if you could change them for some stockings (No. 9) and some handkerchiefs or a nice spring bonnet for Matilda I would be much obliged.” A Juvenile Feminine Prayer. A little girl was spending the sum mer at a fashionable watering place, and one morning as she played upon the veranda of the hotel where her was stopping she heard a mother lengthy conversation upon the fashions of the day and the absolute necessity of stylishness in dress if one hoped to be a success in society- One lady went so far as to say that stylishness was far more important than beauty. ♦ That night as the ’ child said her usual prayer she added, with great earnestness, “And, oh, dear Lord, do please make me stylish!”—Lippincott’s Magazine.

Could Pound if Necessary. ' Judge Hubbard of Iowa argued a ease in the supreme court of the United States recently against the attorney general of Iowa. The at torney general spoke first. He pounded the reading desk during his argument and waved his arms and did a lot of things lawyers are not supposed to do in the presence of the august supreme court. When Hubbard arose, he said: "May it please the honorable court, I could pound this desk. I have a strong right arm and could break this board to splinters, and I would, too, if I were addressing a jury.” Then he stopped and looked se verely at the attorney general. The justices on the bench nodded their heads approvingly and looked at the attorney general also. That worthy said afterward that if* he looked as small as he felt he must have been practically invisible.—• .Washington Letter. A Promoter of Harmony. "Exam” stories are always popu lar in school and college circles. One of the newest and best is cred ited to Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university. A student in one of the preparatory schools was asked to mention the distinctions between major and mi nor chords. His reply read: "Far be it from me to encourage such invidious distinctions. Let ,us rather devote our attention to the causes that led up to the Thirty Years’ wars.” j This naive reply was followed by a historical essay for which the young man had carefully prepared himself.

The art of retracting without taking anything back—if the bull may be al lowed—seems to be understood in Ja pan. A young orator at a political meeting called a public official a thief. A policeman on duty gravely rose and addressed a remark in a low tone to the speaker, who thereupon said, “The chief of police requests me to, retract the word which I have just spoken. Although the word of a sage should never re-enter, let us make a conces sion; let us take back the word and keep the idea.” Great applause and cries of “Bravo!” greeted the orator’s escape from his dilemma.—Youth’s Companion. am enjoying excellent health fot a man of my age, due entirely to the rejuven ating influences of Dr. Miles’ Nervine.

Watson, of Newton, la., “and I have been a great sufferer from nervousness, vertigo and spinal trouble. Have spent considerable money for medicine and doctors, but with little benefit. I was so bad my mind showed signs of-weak ness. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and I know it saved mv life.” Wlay Tennyson Wrote No Letters, Tennyson once told Sir Henry Tay lor that he thanked God Almighty with his whole heart and soul that he knew nothing and that the world knew nothing of - Shakespear.e but his- writ ings and that lie knew nothing of Jane Austen and that there were no letters preserved either of Shakespeare or of Jane Austen; that they, in fact, had hot been .“ripped open, like pigs;” Miles* Saved me from the insane asy lum,” Mrs. A.
