Night time is the time for me and for you, too, my child. I live here, far away in this tropical sec : tlon of the country. When anyone touches me I squirt forth a funny kind of a Juice. \Not a very polite habit, perhaps, but it is my way! We, as a family, like It where it Is warm. We're not fond of eold countries. In fact, we will be found only In warm, warm countries. Now, you are very smart, my child. Soon after you were born you were able to creep about. You knew enough to hide when danger was near, and now you have become so wise and so smart and so independent that you hide under the bark of the log just as the older members of our,family do. \There is something about our col- oring which helps to protect us. We are smart in having such ways. But, my- child, some people who are here studying the ways of curious animals, were talking the other day. \It seems they were down here be- fore and they took photographs and moving pictures, and they showed these before a great audience whim they went up to their own country last year. \They have been talking about It, and they have said many things which showed how interesting it was to others to see pictures of curious ani- mals and their ways and of the scenery around these parts. \They showed a picture they had taken of a Mother Perlpatus and her young, and everyone it seemed, whis- pered to each other and said, \What in the world Is a perlpatus.'' \First they showed some pictures of our part of the country here. They showed the tropical scenery. Then they had a moving picture of a Sloth, and of a Capuchin Monkey swimming along a river which, they explained, was a mile wide and which was haunt- ed by crocodiles and by carib fishes, which the people had never heard of before. At least many of them had not. \Then they showed pictures of Mother Sloth and her baby climbing and they, were much amused to see the upside down way in which she climbed. \They showed pictures of leaf cut- ting ants carrying lots of heavy leaves on a windy day. Then they showed pictures of the great water falls near here and the deep gorge. \Next they showed pictures of Mr. Northern Elephant Seal, who was sup- posed to be extinct or no longer In existence. Well, they saw they -were still in existence! And they showed pictures of animals which had been born up in the Northern zoo—a Pygmy Hippopotamus, a Yak, Grant Zebra and some young deer. \They showed pictures of a white porcupine—the'se white ones were very rare —woodchuck, gray squirrel, pond frog, tortoise and rattlesnake. Next they showed pictures of cobra snakes and of o battle between the Indian Mongoose and a • big King Cobra in which the Mongoose won even thougli a lit- tle creature. \It seems that King Cobra kills many people in India which makes the Mongoose so mad that he goes after the Cobra to destroy him. And every mongoose is a brave and helpful creature. \There were moving pictures \shown of wild animals of America, wild moose, caribou, mountain sheep, goats nnd elk, as well as of the mule deer. \Next they had pictures of sea lions, bears and birds and of a play-fight be- tween a keeper and a kangaroo which were made to move so slowly that it was very curious, they said, to see just what actions were made. Oh, they laughed at that and at the pictures which went so slowly of the sea lions, showing each little movement they made. But it was the picture of Moth- er Perlpatus and her child which was the really big event of the evening for most of the audience learned about a- creature they had never heard of be- fore;\ 'Still in Existence. LEONARD STROUD Clismplon Cowboy and Ropsr at the New York State Fair PRIZE WINI IMG CATTLE AT THE NEW YORK STATE FAIR QREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE Cure of Insanity One of the Most Su- preme Blessings Bestowed on Human Race. Insanity is no longer considered hopeless in most cases. The hospitals are curing great numbers of patients through scientific treatment. Physical infections have been found to be the cause of many mental cases; and even where the cause Is purely mental, specialists are making rapid progress in restoring the diseased minds. The reclaiming of a lost mind is perhaps the greatest blessing science can bestow. An eye, a lung, a leg or an arm may be taken away, yet there always remains that handful of gray substance which can comprehend and direct the world. But when the mind is gone, everything Is gone, as far as the unfortunate individual is con- cerned. The attitude toward lunatics of sav- age or semi-savage peoples is rather odd, when one considers that an im- becile is always more or less of a nuisance and that savages, by natural Inclination, make short shrift of all obstacles in the way of their comfort and happiness. Almost invariably sav- age tribes believe that their demented members are possessed of a super- natural'presence, and treat them kind- ly and well. The treatment of those.mentally de- ficient by modern civilized people has been sometimes cruel and, until lately nearly always unwise.—Jacksonville Journal. BORROWED FROM THE FRENCH Would Speak for Itself. The small boy entered the butch- er's shop whistling briskly, and de- posited a sheep's head on the counter. \Mr. Jones,\ he said, \mother's sent back this meat,\ and turned on his heel and started to leave. But the butcher wanted an explana- tion. ' \What's wrong with It, sonny?\ he asked. ''Well,\ sonny replied, \mother didn't say what was wrong with It. She only said 'leave it, and the head will speak for itself!'\ Curious Hedgehogs. There are several living specimens uV \zoos of the \tenrec the hedge- hog of Madagascar. It is said that stuffed specimens in museums give no adequate Idea of these very curious creatures. Their resemblance to hedge- hogs rests only upon their possession of it spiny covering. The shape of their bodies resembles that of an In- flatl'd globe fish. They are insectivor- ous, and are declared to be restricted to the Island of Madagascar. The specimens seen in this country are re- markable for their habit of yawning. BUTTONS ONCE HAD PURPOSE In Old Times There Was Good Rea- son for the. Present Merely \Or- namental\ Appendages. A well-known speaker recently en- gaged in some captious remarks at a gathering of women, upon the frivoli- ties of fashion particularly as con- cerned women's dress. He was get- ting considerable fun out of it until one of the ladies interrupted him and asked what the buttons on the baek of his coat were for. They are clearly superfluous and just as much out of place as some of the feminine foibles ha was criticizing. He was unable to answer the question, whereupon the laugh was on him. The useless and supposedly ornamental extra buttons on a man's dress coat are relies of horseback-rldlng days, when it was customary to button up the skirts of the coat to prevent sitting tip on them or getting the linings soiled from the horse. The slit up the back of the coat originally served the same good pur- pose. The buttons on the sleeves ore Inherited from the days when a really dashing blade had frequent necessity for turning up the sleeves of his coat to give his sword-drm play. Then the buttons served a real need. Finally the turned-up sleeve and its lining be- came a cuff that coutd no longer be turned down and the buttons became merely traditional. We Twig.

You should try to learn the old wolf 'hunter's call, because you know the wolf Is a scout and that should be the scout call, says Dan Beard, In Boy's Life. This call was used in France first end afterward in England, but tlieie are no wolves In England now and the bugle call has been forgotten In both countries, therefore we \paint It green and call it our own.\ Even though William Tell and Robin Hood bugled the same calls before America was dis- covered, we can make it American the same as we have made the old French wolf hunter's cry American. French was spoken in English court circles, yo the titled wolf hunters used the French cry of bab le loup or a' lop loup, loup being pronounced loo, the cry being a la loo; the English put on~ the H and made It halloo, and we made\ it hell-o, which Is an American expression, as all the telephone girls know. So the old wolf hunter's bugle calls which came here with the Huguenots will also be American when blown through a wooden flatboatsmen's trum- pet. NECKTIE DATES FROM 1660 Was Introduced Into France by a Regi- ment of Cravates—Fashion Some- times Became Extreme. Th'e neck was ieft unconfined by the ancients. The earliest form of neck- tie was a simple cord\ worn around a starched band of linen attached to the shirt. The modern tte was introduced in 1660 by a regiment of Cravates which came to France. A bandage of silk or muslin was worn about the neck of the officers, while the soldiers wore simpler stuff. The ends which fell over the breast were disposed in bows or hung in tassels. After the Revolution cravats disap- peared along with tight breeches. In 1796 It recovered its popularity, and was increased to a. degree of extrava- gance. Huge pieces of muslin were worn around the neck by some per- sons, while others wore a padded cushion of numerous folds. The collar worn at this time arose about the ears, and the mouth and chin were burled nose-deep by- the upper edge of the cravat. The neck was J puffed out larger than the head. Effects, of Stimulants. New and curious experiments have been made on the action which al- cohol and tea may exercise on the intellectual faculties. It has been demonstrated that al- cohol diminishes the ideas but re- enforces the association of words. Under its Influence one easily learns a speech by heart, hut the work of the thought seeking to join the Ideas is difficult. People who absorb alcohol imagine that they walk with the greatest ease, when, in reality, their muscular force Is subject to sensible reduction. Tea, on the contrary, impedes the auditory association of words, but favors the ideas and Intellectual work. The experiments in question have also been made on coffee which pro- duces a certain excitation, but it Is not known whether the depression fol- lowing this excitation weakens the cerebral value. Sunlight Causes Sneezing. Many people sneeze It' strong sun- light falls on their faces; this Is prob- ably due to a temporary congestion of the lining membrane of the nose. Difference in Characters.

And Tim, the boy, was crouching in a corner, with 'the look of a wild animal In his eyes. A hunted beast, Mr. Doremus. ] /'It's Impossible to let that boy grow up In such an environment.

He was a thin, earnest man, with a zeal for good work. \I shall go around and talk to them,\ he said. \They respect me—I'll say that for them. They do know their station In life. Yes, I shall go around and tell them plainly what I think ought to-be done. \The trouble is Sullivan and his wife ought never to have married.' Sullivan isn't the dregs of society. He's a hard working man, and he's kind enough. The trouble is,_ he wants a different environment. I am going to try to get him out on a farm where he will have the happy, peace- ful environment of nature all about him. That will mean his reformation. \As for Mrs. Sullivan, she's kind to the boy, kinder than the father. But she has a hot temper. And she nags. I am going to propose a peaceful, happy separation. Sullivan will be permitted to come in once a month to see his wife and learn how the boy is progressing at the industrial school to which I shall send him. He will con-, tribute to Mrs. Sullivan's support, and I shall try to get her happy, healthful work In an institution.»» oiiav.w.omaij— - are ~great-Ymsplay--or aorsSs, cattle' where she will not experience the temptation to carouse and fight. At the end of three years, if I see signs of genuine reformation on both sides, I shall allow the family to be reunited. \Tim? Oh, yes, as I was saying, I shall send him to an Industrial school. Poor little fellow, he's always black and blue from the thrashings his father gives him! It must be terrible for a boy to grow up in that atmos- phere of violence and discord. Yes, that will solve the problem of the Sul- livans, I think.\ Three days later the Sullivans sat In their apartment, crushed under the weight of Jhe blow that had fallen upon them. \Well it's our last night,\ said Sul- livan. \Ye hear that, lad? They're going to send you to th' Indoostrial school, because your father ain't fit to thrash you. And you, old woman, you're going to be promoted Into a glorious scrub woman. And me, Mike Sullivan, I'll be peeling spuds out to the farm In Orange county. \Yis we've tried married life and made a failure of it, owing to yer nagging tongue—you lave that flat-iron alone, old woman, or I'll thrash you within an Inch of your life. And you, you whelp, stop that snivelling, or I won't lave a sound Inch of skin on your blasted bones.\ \And is that the way to spake to your wife and child, Mike Sullivan f demanded his wife hotly. \It sure was a bad day when I married you. Evil the life you've given me,* and I'll be glad to be quit of you.\ \Do ye mane that?\ demanded Sul- livan, brandishing his stick. \Mane it?

The people of the state who fail to take advantage of the great oppor- tunity for information that is to be had for a weoic at this groat fair sure- ly are missing much that is worth while. This yeat's Fair, which will be con- ducted from September 10 to 15, should not be allowed to puss without the largest attendance in history. Even the architecture is well worth a visit, for the plan that was agreed upon a decade ago Is reaching sueh a degree of completion that today the groups of buildings constitute a per- manent picture, to be known and rec- ognized all over the world as the New York State Fair Group. The great, spacious grounds, with their fine horticultural treatment and their various ornaments, all add to the effect of the s;jn3. It Is the duty of every person in the state to visit this great annual ex- position- which shows all the newest and best things In art and indusby. The machinery exhibit, alone, Is worth the trip. It shows you some- thing new. It is up-to-date. What was very modern and now several years ago is shown to be very much out of date and impractical to- day. Many a man can make money by going to the fair this year and using his eyes. The great exhibits relating to the dairying Industry in all Its phases are invaluable to everybody, whether they are engaged in the industry or not. The State \ Conservation Commis- sion will tell you more about its vast and useful activities than you would be apt to read In a year. Besides, it's more interesting to have it brought to your actual attention. Everybody in the state should see swine and sheep. It adds to public in- telligence to have such a great show of all that is best in animal hus- bandry. One complete description of the New York State Fair would occupy a large book. Any newspaper story is Inadequate. The fact is, there is much to interest everybody at New York State's great exposition, and every loyal citizen of the state should endeavor to attend the fair. Casinghead Gasoline. Illuminating gas or natural gas comes from gas wells and cools as it leaves the earth; some of it condenses and forms a liquid. This Is drawn off and Is called casinghead gasoline. It is usually more volatile than any other gasoline. Why Horseshoe Is Good Luck. The good luck generally supposed to be attached to a horsobhoe comes from the fact that it has three Ingredients that were considered fortunate by the ancients—Iron, the shape of a cres- cent and something pertaining to a horse. The Earthquake Belt. The Immunity of Great Britain from earthquakes is due to its geographical situation. It lies ,at least 1,000 miles north of the nearest point of the great earthquake \belt which seismologists have located and traced right round _the globe. This troubled zone runs roughly parallel to the equator through Japan, China, Asia Minor, the Mediter- ranean countries, the Canary islands and Central America, with an auxiliary belt running southward along the west coast of South America. Every big earthquake of modern times has hap- pened somewhere along this belt, and generally when the sun and moon have been so placed that their combined pull along the critical region has been at a maximum. We owe to the Japa- nese, whose country is so often the seat of a disastrous earthquake, the inven- tion of the seismograph and the most thorough study of earthquake phe- nomena. Cheering Thought. Life is full of uncertainties, even to those who expect the worst—Boston Evening Transcript. French is called \the language of diplomacy\ because for about 300 years the, custom lms been for diplomatists belonging to dJKerent countries to use this language as an International medium of speech. The reason for this usage is nqt only that French 1B very clear and expressive—having many \nuances\ or shades of meaning —but It is the \polite\ language (the language of courts and courtiers), and (n a way, perhaps, the logical successor of Latin—once employed as a medium for conversation by any educated men who belonged to different countries. In the Twelfth and Thirteenth cen- turies French was used extensively throughout Europe. In England It rivaled the native tongue for two cen- turies after the Norman conquest of 1066. In Germany princes and barons engaged French-born tutors for their children, while the long reign of Louis XIV of France (the \Grand Mon- arque\) in the Seventeenth and Eight- eenth centuries, indirectly contributed towards making French an Interna- tional language. The recent tendency has been to confine this use of French to. oral intercourse—written instruc- tions and other diplomalic dispatches being usually couched In the language of the persons employing and trans- mitting them. CARRYING REALISM TOO FAR Over-Ambitious Stage Managers Are Apt to Forget That in Their . Efforts to Impress. \It takes no extraordinary mind,\ writes a stage manager, \to see that a pictorial artist would be dissatisfied with realism as a means of expression, but there are none who have expressed half so clearly as Arthur Hopkins the manner in which realistic settings de- feat their own purpose, which is the illusion of actuality: \ 'If a particular restaurant in all Its detail Is offered,' says Mr. Hopkins, 'it remains for the audience to recall its mental photograph of that res- taurant and check It up with what Is shown on the stage. . . . The result of the whole mental comparing process is_ to impress upon the auditor that he Is in a theater witnessing a very ac- curate reproduction, only remarkable because It is not real. So the upshot of the realistic effort Is further to emphasize the unreality of the whole attempt, setting, play and all.'\ Death in a Fox Fur. A singular case of death caused by a fox fur,Is recorded from Bourges. In this case the head of the animal had been set up in a lifelike pose, its jaws, still set with teeth, serving as a fastener. The owner of the fur was joking with a girl friend about the fur and with the jaws slightly scratched her friend's nose. The incident was forgotten until two days later, when the girl's nose began to swell, and she found that she must have been pricked by one of the animal's teeth. An op- eration was curried out, but this inter- vention proved too late and the girl died within a few hours. The danger of the wound which caused the girl's death lay to a great extent in Its ap- parent insignificance, for It was so slight that It did not even bleed or cause any inconvenience until it was too late to apply antispetlc measures effectively. — Paris Correspondence, London Telegraph. Good Roads and Motor Cars Cut Down Time Needed to Attend Syracuse Fair — Excellent Parking Facilities. Fishy Golf Tale. Freak golf shots are heard of off and on all the time, the latest having to do with a fish—a somewhat sus- picious connection, to be sure. J. W. Williams, in an attempt to see how far he could hit a ball, drove from a cliff on Lake Erie. As the ball was about to descend into, the water—so the tale proceeds—a huge fish leaped above the surface and caught it In Its mouth. Within the next hour the golf- er, walking on the beach in that vi- cinity, found a six-foot sturgeon well lnshore~gasping for breath. With his niblick he stunned the fish and then pulled It ashore. When the fish was prepared for consumption the golf ball was found wedged In its gullet— so that the club to which Williams belongs had smoked sturgeon for a week. Luck Can Work Wonders.

The graiiunar school of Aberdeen claims to be the oldest school In the British empire. The prospectus says that in the register of the abbey oi Arbroath, under date of 1262, one Thomas de Bennum was designated Rector Scholarum de Aberdene. Merton college, Oxford, is the most ancient educational institution In the south, the date of her foundation being 1274. The oldest school in England Is Winchester, which dates from 1387. •WW •mummimt The New York State Fair at Syra- cuse is gradually getting closer and closer to ail the people of New York State, due to the rapid development of the good roads under the direction of Frederick Stuart Green, New York State Highway Commissiqner. It Is now possible to run into Syra- cuse in a day from any part of the state, unless it might be parts of Long Island. Not so long ago Syracuse was avail- able by train only, and then it was a long, uncertain and tedious job to get there and return. Today there is scarcely a hamlet or village in the state where a \Henry\ cannot be started early In the morn- and landed in Syracuse, at the New York State Fair Grounds, along in the afternoon. The New York State Fair Commis- sion, under the direction of Lieuten- ant Governor George R. Lunn, the chairman, has fully appreciated this great and growing opportunity of the people and they have arranged to care for an unlimited number of mo- tor cars this year. It is the easiest place in the world to motor to, and to get around. It is. so easy that all one has to do is to follow the minute instructions given by the New York State Mounted Po- lice, who police the grounds thorough- ly and well. These men commence directing you when you approach the grounds, and they take care of you all the time you are in the grounds, seeing to it that your car is properly parked and also that It is properly protected. It is safe to leave things in the cars because the State Police watch them all the time they are left. Their wonderful system of handling cars has often been remarked by trained visitors. Good roads lead to Syracuse from every direction. It will be a nice mid-September trip to visit the fair by motor. ATHLETES AT STATE FAIR There will be a big industrial ath- letic meet at the New York State Fair at Syracuse on September 10, the opening day. Track and field compe- tition between well trained teams from Syracuse and vicinity compete throughout the afternoon. Excellent records are hung up each year and the contest develops a great deal of Interest. One of the Family. Tlllla had been placed by her aunt in a situation as maid of all work in a family of three.
