When he had gone a few yards the lion headed him off, and this was repeated until the mouse stood stil. The lion then stood over him, studying him with interest, and presently he brought his paw down on the mouse, but so gently that it was not injured in the least. Then the lion played with the mouse, now let ting bhim run a few inches and stop ping him again. Suddenly be mouse changed his tactics and insd of run ning when the lion lifted his paw sprang straight at the big animal's bead.

McWhinnie, of Hearnleigh, Al be~ta, writes as tollows: "i have a flat of about 100 cres or so. About half of thatjs covered with water in the spring, which dries out about the middle of May so that one can work the land. I had thought that I could grow hay on it if I could get the grass started. Can you tell me the best kind of hay, and the best way to get -this land started in grass?" If this land can be drained, the best thing to do is to drain It either by using open ditches or tile, otherwise It Is a rather difficult propositIon to handle. ihe water standing on the soil will kill out most of the tamIe grasses. Canadian blue grass and Kentucky blue gasare grown to some extent in jrsof Canada for pasture pur poses.. Very few of the tame grasses will do so well on soils that are wet. The wild grasses, as a rule, grow very well-on wet land. The 'grasses that do best on wet land are red top, fowl meadow grass, combined with alsike lover. Timothy will do fairly well. and may be started by simply sowing the seed without any cultivation. We have had no experience, however, with these grasses in your section, and this s only a suggestion on our part. The amount of seed to be sown de pends on the kind of seed used. If the red-top, re-cleaned seed Is used, two or three pounds, per acre will be sufficient, while If the ordinary seed l grown, twelve to fifteen pounds of alike clover seed per acre should be mxed with this. Dr. Win. Sadler, author of "The Cuse and Cure of Colds," says that ommon colds should be taken serious ly, especially when they "bang on.' Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is a reliable household medicine for coughs nd olds,equally effective for children and for grbwn persons. Take it wheu you feel a cold coming on. It will averi danger of serious results and curo quick ly. No harmful drugs. The Dickson Drug Co., Manning and Leon Fisch'er, ummrtnn. The Philippine Coast Line.

The figures for the United St -tes have reference to the coast line of'be main part of the country.. including islands lying near the coast, but not including noncontiguous territory, such as Alas ka and Porto Rico. The coast line of the United States so measured. with what the - experts call "three mile steps," is 13.026 statute miles. less than 2,000 miles in excess of the coast line of our eastern possessions.-New York Tribune. An ingenious "Fire Box." A very simple but nevertheless ef fective method of making fire is used in the Arfak mountains, in Dutch North New Guinea. The natives cut a section of bamboo, usually about nine Inches long by two inches in di ameter. and into this are put a supply of tinder and a small fragment of any thing hard. preferably a piece of china if the natives can get hold of It. The tinder is covered from the wet by a piece of bark. and the "fire box" is then ready for use whenever It Is wanted. To get a light the native merely takes the piece of china and a lump of tin der between his thumb and first tin-. ger; then, holding the bamboo in his left hand, he strikes its surface sharp ly with the china, causing a spark, which soon ignites the tinder. Even the white man soon acquires the knack of doing this, and the process is mucil' more effective and infinitely less labori ous than the usual method of produc ing fire by friction.-Wide World Mag azine.

Although it was not published until a year or two later, it Is probable that Keats wrote his famous "Ode to Au tumn" in his sixteenth year, and. in deed, s11 his five great odes, among the greatest in any language, before he at tained legal manhood. He died at twenty-five, so that all .he great mas terpieces which came from his pen may be regarded as the production of a boy. Robert Burns wrote that scath lag satire, "Holy Willie's Prayer" when he had barely passed his youth. and indeed, the whole of the poems in the famous Kilmarnock edition, a copy of which sold some little'time since for ?550, were written before he was twenty-five.

The sacred codfish carved in wood isr to be seen on the walls of the hall of representatives in the statehouse at Boston. It occupies a place of honor between two classic pillars Immediate ly opposite the desk of the speaker. Bostonians aver that this is the orig Inal sacred codfish of the old colony1 and that it has had a place in the halls of the lawmakers of Massachusetts for over 150 years. It Is a relic of the as sembly hall that gave way to the pres ent statehouse. The following is the origin generally assigned to It: One Captain John Welch of Boston was the creator and carver of the fa mous fish. In his time he was held to be a wood carver of no mean abil ity. He established himself in Dock square in 1747. A member of the An cIent and Honorable Artillery compa ny, Welch rose in time to is captain cy. He was called on to contribute to the decoration of the colonial assem bly ball, and as at that period codfish was the colony's main article of export Welch conceived the notion of Immor Hardy as an Architect.

Gold does not tarnish like ot U netal because it is not acted upon by oxygen or water. It Is t.e moisture In the atmosphere which causes other metals to tarnish. owing to their oxi dation. Water contins a large pro portion of oxygen. and it is the oxygen, t of course. In the moist air combining with the surface of' the metals that covers them with tarnish. Platinum. t like .gold. resists the influence of oxy gen and moisture and when pure nel ther rusts nor tarnishes. Aluminium also does not rust, neither hot nor cold water having any action upon it. The sulphureted, hydrogen of the atmos phere, which so readily tarnishes sil ver, has no effect upon aluminium. which under ordinary circumstances e preserves its appearance as perfectly - as gold does. Silver tarnishes on ex r posure to the air, the agent: producing this effect being the suiginhr. Iron is the metal which tarnishes and rusts most easily, its oxidization proceiling. until the metal Is completely eaten or burnt away with the rust. 8 -Sir Philip 8idmey -(kutdone. In the seventh Century wars between Denmak -ania Sweden -a wounded a Dane was about to raise a wooden bot tie of water when a cry reached him from a wounded Swede stretched on the ground at -a Mte ismaae. The. good Dane, uslnc the words -of Sr Philip Sidney, stumbled to the side of P his enemy and, saying, "Thy need Is greater than mine," kneeled down and r offered the water to his lips.

'I would have befriended you, and .youmlaldiurdirs me in return. Now I will punish you. I would have given you the whole bot tie, but now you.shall have only half."
