Tliere was once a little girl who found It very hard to wash her hands just before diiincr. She meant to be clean for the table, but there was so ny things to think of that it was 30s.sible to remember. Her mother reproved liei- very severely one day, and she promised to do better. That day at dinner her mother asked the ;ual question, “Have you washed your hands, dear?” “Yes,” came the satisfied reply. Her mother looked smilingly down a t the little one’s hands, and then she ut tered an exclamation, for there tvas sign that soap or water had been used on them. “Why, your bands are black,” she said. “Didn’t you say you ■u’asbed them?” “Well, I just did, mamma, but I was afraid I’d forget, so I washed them right after breakfast.”—New York PlmploB.

The first Rhine steamer made its trips from Rotterdam to Cologne in KNITTING IN PARLIAMENT. Quite a thrill of surprise was caused by a Scottish member of parliament Who was recently observed calmly knitting a stocking w’blle W’aiting in the smoking room of the house of com mons. At the present day the sight of a man plying the knitting needles is a novel one, though in the remoter parts Df Scotland it is not a t all uncommon.

Such Industry seems strange to the present day mind, but what else had they to occupy their minds and time? Newspapers, as W’e know them now. there were absolutely none. Once a week or less frequently a small local sheet would circulate among the well to do homos. As for books, these were often lim ited to the Bible and “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” Of games there were but few, and for the most part these were not encouraged.—Home Chat.

If you repeat 5 shillings as often as there are hairs in a horse’s tail, you do not multiply 5 shillings by a horse tail. Perhaps you did not know this before. Never mind; you need not be ashamed of your ignorance, for it was shared, as has been demonstrated, by the entire bouse of commons (bar one member), including the then chancellor of the exchequer. How to Form the Reading Habit. In order to organize odd minutes into fruitful hours one must have a con sistent scheme and keep the means of carrying it out within reach. Too many people read the books which come in their way Instead of putting them selves in the way of getting the right books. They buy and borrow without thought or plan boeauso they do not understand that reading ought to be a resource as well as a recreation. De cide in advance what books you will read, and do not take up with those which drift in your direction. Do not burden yourself with a scheme so ex tensive that it discourages you; do not their magnitude. Begin in a quiet and easy way by planning to read consec utively a few books in some field which Gets the Benefit. “Dey ain’t no two ways erbout It, Mistab Jackson,” said Charcoal Eph as be passed the sirup, “we’n cr woman mahi-ies er man fo’ bettah or fo’ worse she mouty soon fin’ out she gettiiT de benefit ob de ulteniatlve.”—Baltimore LOOK l i k e ' FLATIRO’ n S.

It is, however, just a little singu lar that -wrouglit stones, similar to the ones from the Tennessee mounds, have been found hi Peru among tho tombs of the Incas and at the necropolis of An con. The old Spanish writers, men who aceoinpaniod Flzzaro in tho con quest Of that country, state that the ancient reruvian.s, who were great of the Ten nessee mounds are the only ones that were over found in the United States, and tlie only way to account for their presence in that locality is to suppose that in pre-Columbian times a great deal of Peruvian material reached countries far to the north of the isth- miis by means of Intertribal trade.— ■Washington Post. NATURAL HISTORY. MM Some of tho caterpilhars found in the vicinity of tlie Darling river, Austra lia, are over six inches in length. The leaders of a flock of migrating wild goose become tired sooner than others and are frequently relieved by, their fellows. Tho gray buzzard is said to be the heaviest bird that flies, the young males, when food is plentiful, weighing nearly forty pounds. The bird is near ly extinct. The teiT.apin lives largely upon crabs. He never eats bis food, but bolts it. His favorite tidbit is the crab’s claw, which be swallows whole with the greatest relish. The glowworm lays eggs which, it is said, are themselves luminous. How ever, the young hatched from them are not possessed of those peculiar proper ties until after the first transformation. A whistling moth is an Australian rarity. There is a glassy space on the crossed v.-lth ribs. When the knob at the end. 'i’be' sound is a love call from the male to the female. Rcimicl In Kind. At a certain ball In the country tho other evening a gentleman undertook to introduce a companion to a young but soinewbat stout lady, who seemed to be pining for a dance. “No, thanks, old fellow, I don’t care to waltz with a cart.” A “cart” is understood in tlie district referred to as a partner who does not do her share of the dancing, but has to be drawn around. A few evenings later the same yonng lady, who had ovoi-beard the conversa tion, behold the young man seeking an Introduction and asking if he might have the honor, etc. “No, thank you,” she replied. “I may, be a cart, but I am not a donkey cart!”- Somehow whenever we hear a man called an Adonis we long to hunt him up and smash his pretty nose.—Atchi son Globe.
