There was once a wise old Goat. One day he took refuge from a storm by rurfning Into the first cave hq saw. It proved an excellent shel ter, but It belonged to a Lion, and soon the Goat heard the Lion com ing home. ’’A h a !’’ rem a rked W illiam Goat to himself. \This Is a place where wit Is of more use than sharp horns!\ And when the Lion came In be found the Goat calmly stroking his beard. \How very lucky!” exclaimed old W illiam just as the Lion was pre paring to spring upon him. \L u c k y ? ” said Leo, stopping half way. \F o r me, you m e y i?” \Not at all,\ answered William. \I mean for myself. It Is my busi ness to hunt Hons.\ — \I never heard of such a thing,’’ enswered the Lion, laughing scorn- tully. \V ery likely not,” replied the Goat, \b u t then I’m not an ordinary goat. I am the lion hunting kind. We are rare, but there are a few of Us still left. I made a vow th a t I would kll ten , lions this week, but they are scarce, and so far I have elaln only five. You will be the eixth.\ So saying, he lowered his head and Charged the Lion with pretended fe rocity. Not expecting the attack, the Lion turned and ran out. No sooner was William Goat sure that the Lion was at a distance than he started on, too, but in another direction^ Meanwhile Leo met a Jackal and told him the story the Goat had made up. “W h at nonsense!” said the Jackal, bursting Into a roar of laughter. \W h y , I know old W illiam Goat well! He Is no fiercer than any other goat. Come with me, and we’ll quickly m ake an end of h!m. So they turned back toward the cave, and, soon finding the Goat’s tracks, they made after him at top speed. W illiam Goat luckily caught sight of them before they saw him. \Now said he to himself. \I •m u st m ake believe harder than ever or all Is lost.” Thereupon he turned around and ran toward his pursuers at full speed. As soon as he was near enough to be plainly heard he cried out In as angry a tone as he could put on: “Why, Jackal, how is this? I told you I needed five lions, and here you bring me only this little one!\ At this Leo was again overcome by fright and he once more took to his paws toward the deepest part of the jungle. The Jackal called after him In vain and, being really a cow ard, did not dare to face old W illiam Goat alone. So W illiam arrived safe at home, — to the great joy of Nanny and the little kids.— Busy Bee. THE LIFELIK E BIRD. Yoiji have probably seen some of these well-balanced birds in the toy shops. You can make one easily if you follow these directions: The drum is made of two circular pieces of cardboard (as large as the palm of a m a n ’s hand),w h ich are joined by a narrow strip ot paper pasted around the rims. B u t before the strip is pasted a wire is run through both the circular pieces of cardboard, and a SHABBY CARPETS. Faded, hopelessly shabby carpets can be made to look really as if a new one were not needed if, after sweeping thoroughly, a teaspoonful of turpentine is added to a pail of hot w a ter and the surface of the car pet is gone over carefully with a damp cloth.— New Haven Register. NEW TINWARE. If nexv tinw a re be rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heat ed In the oven before It is used, it will never rust afterw a rds, no m a tter how much it Is put in water. If the teapot or coffee pot is dis colored on the inside, boil it in a strong soluton of borax for a short time and all its brightness will re turn.— New York Press. small ball WASHING FLOUR BAGS. After emptying the last bits of flour, give the bags a good shaking; later soak them in plenty of cold water with a big handful of washing soda and allow them to lie over night. Take them out and wash them , giving all the colored parts a good rubbing v/ith carbolic soap; then put them on to boil with plenty of soda. Carbolic soap takes out the dye better than anything else. Bleach and Wash them and the bags will be u clear w h ite.— New York Press. T6e General Demand if the Well-Informed of the World has ilways been for a simple, pleasant and ;fficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could miction for family use because its com ponent parts arc known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination ot Syrup of Figs and Clixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup \o. proceeds along ethical lines and relies in the merits of the laxative for its remark- , able success. j That is one of many reasons why j Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given ; the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy ■ the genuine—manufactured by the Cali- | fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents | per bottle. ——— V- Consoling Thoughts About the Youug Do not expect too much conversa tional wisdonLfrom the young. There are two classes of young per sons: those who do not think at all, and those who think wrong. To think right requires knowledge, and of th a t the young can only b a r s a v;ery limited supply. A young person, therefore, who utters m istaken opinions Is not nec essarily. foolish. but gives the only evidence possible of having begun to think, and of being, therefore, In a hopeful state of progress.— Lifo. wire between the two sections. Then the strip of paper is pasted around the rim of both circular pieces, and the ends of the wires extending over the paper are bent over the rim of each circular piece of paper and joined (see cut). A small bird cut from cardboard, which may be col ored to m ake it more lifelike, is fasted to the top of the wire. .(The bird, of course, must be lighter than the ball of lead inside of the drum ). When the drum is rolling over the table the little bird will bob and hop as if a'Jve.— W ashington Star. SOAP BUBBLE PARTIES. These are most interesting for all sizes and ages. Good clay pipes and castile soap and, bowls enough to go round are the needful things; also a room, which will not be hurt by a sprinkling of soapsuds, and one thing more, the sm aller the child the bigger the apron to cover him. A little glycerine in the lukewarm soapsuds will make the bubbles bright, and if the shawl is spread on the floor they will bounce upon it like transparent balls. A bubble tournam ent is great fun. Arrange sides, with leaders, AN INJURIOUS HABIT. The habit of sitting with one leg is swung from the swung over the knee of the other is very often the. cause of headaches, cold feet, varicose veins, ulcers and other disorders resulting from arrest ed circulation of the blood. Under the knee, where the pressure of such a position is the greatest, there are many large veins, arteries and nerves and the pressure crowds all these to gether, flattening and closing them , and thus interfering seriously with the work they are intended to do. Th’s habit is common to both men and women, and, once formed, is very hard to break, but the evil effects of its indulgence are so many and so serious th a t we should not surrender to the tem p o rary comfort of the position. The use of a foot stool would help to overcome the in clination.— T he Commoner. 2 0 6 5 is your assurance or our guarantee filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, W ashington, D, C-, that Hales’ ol Honey H o rehound & T a r the standard remedy for genera tions, is a safe and pleasant cure for coughs, colds and hoarseness.

Let one side step forward in a line, with pipes and bowls; then the leader starts and sees how many bubbles he can make with one dip of his pipe. Each of his followers does likewise, while some one not in the game keeps the score. Then the other side takes its turns, and the side which blows the greatest num ber is the prize winner.

TO CLEAN W HITE THINGS. W h ite doeskin gloves last well and wash alm o st unendingly, but their success lies in the secret of careful washing. The gloves should be put in warm w ater, not too warm , and gently rubbed with soap; take each glove singly and soap it into a ball in the palm of the,hand. W hen the rinsing is well accomplished soap °f them again and then, w ithout being Great Britain uses seventy-two pounds of salt per capita per year. Piles Cured hi 0 to 14 Days.

The m anner in which elephants, crocodiles, field mice and (lies make j their toilets, and crabs wear ready made suits, formed the subject of a lecture at Stepney by Dr. Hoyle, F. R. S. E., of Manchester. \A cat always carries about with it a clothes brush,\ said the lec turer, \for Its tongue Is rough, and It cleans its glossy coat as a lady brushes her furs. “Foxes, dogs and wolves on the other hand, do not use their m ouths when they need 'a wash and brush up,* but scratch themselves vigor ously with their front paws, and are as fresh as ever. \Field mice comb their hair and whiskers with their hind legs in the same way as dogs, and the fur seal spends much time In making herself look sm a rt as a woman does. \A lthough elephants appear to be thick skinned and callous, as a m a t ter of fact, they take the greatest care ot their skins, and are constant ly having shower baths by the aid of their portable trunks. A ^ e r the bath they roll themselves In yX o llet preparation’ of dust which keeps files “It is the crocodile, however, who makes his toilet In the most luxurious fashion, for the Egyptian plover acts ^s his valet. The crocodile has point ed teeth in which fragm ents of food stick, and the plover— a great friend— dives into his open jaws and picks out the meat. \It will surprise many to know that thq con moa horse Ay has feet like a camel— only small, and th a t the conu toon crayfish keeps himself tidy and clean.

A QUEER TABLE. I wish to tell you all to-day of a very queer table. In the first place, it is several hundred years old and yet it is as good as new— just as sound and strong as ever. No, It Is not iron, and yet I can’t see how it can ever wear out. It is not used for breakfast, dinner, or any meal. It came all the way from Arabia, and it is ornam ented with many figures. We do not know who made It, but we do know that it is a very useful table, and we call It “The M ultiplica tion Table.\— T he Churchman. rinsed, squeeze them until all the w a ter has run out. Straighten the gloves, don’t pull them , and hang to dry where there Is a current of air; do not put them near a fire. The drying takes rather a long tim e and at first the gloves look spoiled. B u t they are a real success when once dry and they m u st be briskly rubbed together to get rid of the stiffness; then they are ready to wear and \as good as new.\— P ittsburg Press. NOT HIS FAULT. A first grade boy brought perfect spelling papers home for several weeks, and then suddenly began to miss five and xix out of ten. “How’s this, son?’* asked his fath er. w “Teacher’s fau lt,” replied the boy. “ How is It the teacher’s f^ult?\ \She moved the little boy that sat n e tt to me.”— L lpplncott's.

There are more ducks in China than in all the rest of the world. China, literally, is white with these birds, and day and night the country resounds w ith their m etallic and scornful voices. Children herd ducks on every road, on every pond, on every farm , on every lake, on every river. There is no backyard without its duckhouse. There is no boat, little or great, w ithout its duck quar ters. Even in the cities of China ducks abound. They dodge between the coolies' legs. They flit, squawk ing, out of the way of the horses. Their indignant quack will not un- seldom drown the roar of urban com merce. All over the land there are great duck-hatching establishm ents, m any of them of a capacity huge enough to produce 50,000 young ducks every year. Duck among the Chinese is the staple delicacy.
