"The Ol.l Yellow Almanac.” When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote tbe poem, having for title the same heading as this article, she touched a chord that vi brated in thousands of hearts. For Aver * Almanac, "The Old Yellow Almanac” of the poem, is intimately associated with the days and deeds of a large part of the world’s population. How large a part of the popu lation tbs general statement may include can be gathered from the fact that the yearly issue of Ayer's Almanac is from IT.OMjOOO to 25,000,000 copies. It is printed in twenty-eight editions and in soma eighteen languages, including, besides Eng- OUR BOYS AND GIRLS lish—Spanish, Portuguese. Dutch, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Welch, Italian. Trench, etc. The old style a.mauac is looked upon by many as a relic o! antiquity, especially the "patent medi cine almanac," whose jokes are the butt often of the very papers In whose columns they first appeared. But there are almanacs and almanacs. Ever since Dr. Ayer’a Almanac has been put out it has employed as high a class of mathematical and astro nomical talent as is available in the country. The result is that it stands on a par, in respect of the Miability of its data and the accuracy of its ca eulations with the U. 8. Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this fact is lound year nfUr year in the letters, re ferred to the a tnanae depariment of the company, from students and mathematicians in various jarts of the world. In its per manence and reliability Ayer’s Almanac stands as a very fitting type of the Aver Remedies—ludispensiblo in the family and reliable every day in the year. The 1897 eddion of ibis useful almanac is now in course of distribution through the druggists of the country. A Distinction. Some men’s wits are sharpened un der tross-examluation, as In an In stance cited by the Green Bag, a legal journal. Counsel in a case lately pending for ♦rial lb the New York Surrogate Court Ttad hip question met with the answer: “The n atter slipped my mind.” "In other words, you forgot such an Importhnt event." “No, I haven’t forgot it." "Pray, sir, what difference is there between forgetting a matter and hav ing it slip from your mind?” "Weil, counsellor, it is this way: A thing slips from the mind, but by and by you remember it; but If you forgot a thing it never comes back.” His honor of, course, made note of this distinction without much differ ence.

The Lesson of the Stars. One night we were sitting out of doors in the moonlight, unusually si lent, almost sad. Suddenly someone— a poetic looking man, with a gentle, lovely face—said in a low tone: "Did you ever think of the l>eaut'ful lesson the stars teach us?” We gave a vague, appreciative murmur, but some soul less clod said: “No; what Is It?” “How to wink,” he answered, in a sad, sweet voice. Seeing the Point. A boy returned from school one day with the report that his scholarship had fallen below the usual average. “Son," said his father, “you’ve fallen behind this mouth, haven't you?” “Yes, sir.” “How did that happen?” “Don’t know, sir.” The father knew, if the son did not. He had observed a number of dime novels scattered about the house; but had not thought it worth while to say anything until a fitting opportunity should offer itself. A basket of apples stood upon the floor, and he said: “Empty out those apples, and take the basket and bring it to me half full ot chips.” Suspecting nothing, the boy obeyed. “Anti now,” he continued, "put those apples back into the basket.” When half the apples were replaced, the boy said: “Father, they roll off. I can’t put any more in.’’ “Put them in, 1 tell you.” "But. father, I cau't put them in.” “Put them in? No. of course you can't put them in. You said you didn’t know why you fell behind at school, and I will tell you why. Your mind is like that basket. It will not hold more than so much. And here you've been the past month filling it up with chip dirt—dime novels.” The boy turned on his heel, whistled, and said: “Whew! I see the point.” Not a dime novel has been seen in the house from that day to this. A Tempest in a Bottle. Nome of our young experimenters may be interested in a simple device for making a real rainstorm in a bot tle. The only apparatus necessary is a tall bottle, like the one shown in the cut, and an ordinary coffee saucer. The bottle is half filled with alcohol of 92 degrees strength, and heated in a bath of water until the alcohol, the bottle and tbe saucer are of an almost equal temperature. Then the appa ratus is removed from the water, wiped quickly with a soft cloth, and fhe ex perimenter is ready to watch some wonderful transformations inside of the bottle. The vapor of the alcohol soon rises and fills the bottle, but the saucer cools ■PofetLV 6lc>ui>s MAKING RAIN IN A BOTTLE. then he hopped way across the parade ground to the other jackdaw, and I think he must have told him that there was a little girl over there who had a buu, for both of them hopped over to me. 1 gave the other jackdaw a piece. Then the one who put his bun on the cannon went away and ate it. He did not want to eat his dinner till his friend had some.” Did any of you ever hear of a more geaerous bird? rapidly, and tbe vapor being warmer is quickly condensed. Real clouds ap pear in the upper part of the bottle, and presently, as the cooling process goes on, tiny rain drops form and fall Just as in a regular shower. The whole process of tho distribution of moisture on the earth’s surface is illustrated in the bottle. The alcohol is the ocean or the lake, the air above it is the clear sky. and the warm bath of water In the sun. The saucer plays the part of the cold currents in the upper air and condenses the vapor which the sun draws up from the ocean. A still more striking result can be obtained by using a cold saucer in place of the warm one. In that case the difference of temperature will be increased and there is a regular old- fashioned hurricane. This very simple experiment was in vented recently by Prof. Errera, of Brussels, and almost any of our boys and girls could interest a whole class or a school exhibition with it Try It. —Chicago Record. Two Jackdaws that Were Chams. Dogs and cats and birds have their good friends and boon companions as well as boys and girls. A charming account of two friendly old jackdaws conies from Hilda Millet, of Sharon, Mass. Listen to what she says: “The summer I was 8 years old my mother took me to the tower of Lon don. There were two old jackdaws hopping about on the parade ground, and I threw to one of them a piece of the bun I was eating. It took it and hopped quite a long distance to where some old cannon stood that were used in the wars long ago. He hopped op on one and put down bis piece of bun; • lOOO. Satannar. Ga.

One day she was out driving in Scot land. when she saw three little girls who lived at the same manse thorough ly eujoying themselves at a good game. She sent a messenger to make in quiries about them, and desired that they might come and visit her at the castle. It so happened that their parents were not at home at the time, and al though they were in high glee the chil dren did not quite know what to do. One point wbrich troubled them very much was how they should address the Queen. However, after a little talk they decided they could not do better than address her as the kings of old were addressed in Bible history. When they were taken into her majes ty’s presence to the Queen's great amusement they fell Immediately down before her and very solemnly exclaim ed: “O Queen, live forever!” They spent a delightful afternoon, and all too soon the time arrived for them to go home. Imagine the Queen's surprise and amusement when, on leaving, they again fell down together and said this time: "O Queen, live forever; And please may we come again another day?” Joke YVa* on Mother. There is a family over on the west side in whicP there are two twins. They are 5 years old and resemble each other so marvelously that only the mother can t.’ll which is Gladys and which is Grace. On Saturday night just before bed time the mother Issued the order for baths. TIk- older children took theirs, and along about 9 o'clock it was the turn of the twins. They were undress ed and waiting. The mother took Gladys into the bath room and gave her a thorough scrubbing. Then she allowed the mite to play in the water i’or a few mom -nts. and after that put her on the rug, dried her. powdered her and put her nightie on. Just at this time the grocery boy came and the mother had to ruu down stairs and take charge of the provi sions. After site had put everything away she came back, grabbed up a twin and took her to the bath room. The little girl did not say much. After she was bathed ehe scampered back to her bed room. There was a whispered consultation between the twins, and then they both began to laugh as loudly as they could. "What are you youngsters laughing at?” asked the mother, as she came into the room. “Nothing.” they both protested be tween giggles. “But you are." Insisted-tbe mother. “Toll me this instant.” “Well,” said Gladys, rolling about on the floor in merriment, “you gave me two baths and didn’t give sister any.” Buffalo Express. A Medicine Craze. A man in Vienna has developed a ma nia for medicine, of which he swallows large doses dally, although suffering from no Illness. This is a form of lu nacy not altogether unknown. To Heckington. in England, belongs the honor of being the birthplace of the largest consumer of medicine the world has ever known. This was Mr. Samuel Jessup, a rich grazier, who died in 1817. He was in many ways eccentric, but in none so much as in pill-taking, or what a chronicler of the period describes as “a most inordinate craving for pLy- sick.” The following figures may be regard ed as incredible, but there seems to be no reason to doubt their accuracy. In the twenty-one years, from 1795 to 1810, Mr. Jessup cons timed 220,934 pills, which is at the rate of 10,800 u year, or 20 a day. Many more of these were taken in the later than in the earlier years. From 1811 to 1816, a period of five years, the rate of consumption averaged seventy* eight a day, while in one single x«ir, 1814, Mr. Jessup swallowed ns many as 51,500 pills. These astounding figures came out in the course of an action tried at the Lin coln Assizes, in 1817, when an apothe cary of Bottesford, who had supplied the whole of the medicine, sued Mr. Jessup for the amount of his bill. In spite of taking all these pills, with the addition of 40,000 bottles of mixtures and juleps and electuaries, Mr. Jessup, who was unmarried, lived to the age of 05. The apothecary’s bill, for the amount of which he was sued, covered no less than fifty-live long and closely written columns. All Manner.'"'

The Impertinent spendthrift! ’Father, send me money! Hannes.’ Now. what do you say to such barefaced Impudence? Bpending money, and then giving his father peremptory orders to send more?” "But he doe® not say that, my dear husband,'' replied the mother, taking the telegram In her turn. "Listen, this Is what he writas"and with soft, plead ing, Ingratiating voice she read. "Fath er! Send me money. Hannea.” When she came to the boy’s name, there were tears in her voice. “If only he had written that!" said the father, and he was almost persuad ed to pity. MOW TO FIND OUT.

Washington Irving has often l>een ac cused of saying that Utile dogs and children were influential members of French society. It is quite true that in the United Btate* I never noticed that close and sentimental Intimacy Im» tween human beings and quadrupeds so frequently seen in France. Ameri can life la so active, so desperately crowded, either usefully or socially, that perhaps it does not permit the loss of time inevitably brought about by friendly intercourse with a dog. As for children, I l>el!eve that their Impor tance is equally great In all countries; but It asserts Itself In a more noisy man ner In America than anywhere else Everything is sacrificed to them, for they represent the future, which is all that counts in a country whose past is very short, and whose present is a pe riod of high-pressure development. Y'et no one must suppose that, before pre senting an apology for French children, I intend to malign American children, ascertain travelers have taken the lib erty of doing very thoughtlessly, al though they had met them only on steamships, cars, or at hotels, enjoying a holiday with that buoyancy which is the characteristic mark of the whole race. I have known some who were very well brought up, even from our point of view, and among those who were not I have admired precocious sense, vivacity of mind, quiet determi nation, and capacity for self-govern ment, qualities which I should wish for all ours.—Century.
