It Is on record thut a fly crawled up a win dow uiiie thirty-two times, returning each time a-wing.

Cats seldom lie with their feet to the fire. Usually tbey lie on the left side, Dogs lie with their fore paws to the fire. A mouse will ignore a food supply eunW'ieut for a meal and run great risks to. nibble nt a wholesale supply. It will hide at the source of food sup ply and not depart therefrom until ac tually disturbed. It Isn't true that a mouse runs to its hole at the firt alarm. Find a harmless little snake the length of n lead pencil and provide a bos for it in the house, visit It daily and at the end of three months It will crawl to you for food. Goldfish usually swim around a globe to the right. They can be taught to take a fly out of tho hand in six weeks' time. The presence of other fish In the globe is generally ignored by gold fish. Drop a piece of chip on the sur face of the water and it will frighten a fish. Sheep spend more time grazing than do cattle sad horses. Sheep will eat for twelve hours out of twenty-four. New York World. By George Carlock. Breathe softly, loved waters while heaving to sea v Breathe softly, loved waters, my birth land is leaning to thee Von Marguerite dreams, ever sweetly yon dreams, Breathe eoftly, loved watersT 'neath the moon-go'.d gleams. Blue current, wide streaming to south land's fair flowers. Thy waters, e'er gathering, deepening, lowers; 1 Magnolias and roses are touched by thy Bprings, Where mockbird's heart breaks with the joy that, it 6lngs. The crimson sky-canvas of "wakln clear morn Throws heaven's rose kiss, pure as lips of first-born. And beauty reflects from the bosom of deep Like mother to .babe at her breast soft asleep. How dear is the land that nursed me and my love! How dearly It leans to thy breast as a dove! Mown meadows, prolific of sweet-scent ed hay, Spread balm o'er thy soft blue, the whispering day. : Hearts, breathing soft song with hty. billcws are crooning, Enfolded by arms to them dear, but a-swoonlng With yearning, ny heart ever wretch cd and weary. Heaves for the white arms of my By W. W. Robbins. Some day, In green fields Elysian, My past life comes back to me. And the future's veil has risen, So that all beyond I see; For Someday has no time, limit. That is reached by days and years, And sweet hope Is ever present For to soothe away all tears. In this new delightful Eden That Someday has now restored, I would found a field of labor Where no class should be Ignored, No denomination corner What in right belongs to all, Writh no serpent in man's clothing, Thre to bring about a fall. Then when all my limitations Were removed by gift of time, I would make my Teputation By the writing of this rhyme. But, that day that waits on others I have never yet possessed. And the promise for to use it Is a weakness now confessed. But a weakness so compelling That wa almost think it fine, , And we lose our reputation Banking on this gift of t,ime; Banking on the strength of others Whea we should ourselves be strong, Pushing on the wheels of progress, For to help the world along. We can square that gift from others, Who have toiled through ageb past. Only by a like remittance When our usefulness Is past. But the debt we owe to nature. To ourselves and to our God, Claims the best, there Is within us, While we toil above the sod. But the best Is so Obstructed By the worst fn life we know. That we zig-zag on our Journey, Making forward progress slow. And the great big things worth hav ing, , That we covet for our own. With a side-step, bring disaster To the fondest hopes we've known. So, between opposing forces, We must wage a constant sty ife, If the better impulse falls us, There will be a wasted life. Tame contentment Is a bluffer That but Indolence doth teach; Better far that we should hunger For the things beyond our reach. Better far that we should suffer For some cause b6t,h good and great, Than to sit down idly, waiting For the blighting hand of fate. And I know no better slogan For to help us on our way. Than to get right down and promiso To do better yet some day. rA $2500 Car , for $1875!

While, waiting for a change of horses at a Kentucky hostelry the composer, Ptephen Foster, author of so many beloved darky mel odies, heard a melancholy negro mur mur as he threw a set of harness to j the ground: 4Ts sick an' tired o' dls j life.
