An 8 year old boy had beon in my
class nearly a year without showing
any capacity for absorbing knowledge
Miss Williams said
Fie just wouldnt study and I bad
about given bim up as hopeless But
one day be did something that pleased
me and I said to him that was very
nico dear
At recess he came to me smiling and
said
Teacher you are the first one that
ever called me dear
He was so proud of it that he asked
me to write a letter to his father certify
ing that I considered him a dear His
brother heard of it and ho worked bard
in the hope that I would speak kindly
to him too After that those two boys
were the best pupils I had and there
was great rivalry between them

QUICK WIT SAVED HIM
Tho Way a Criminal Fooled a Paris
Police Chief
In the Memories of M Claude
chief of police iurlug the reigu of Na
poleon III there Is much that is fas
cinating to lovers of detective stories
One of M Claudes experiences was
that In which he was outwitted by a
clever criminal who saw in the police
chiefs resemblance to Deranger when
the poet was at the height of his pop
ularity a means of escape from cap
ture The criminal lmd returned to
Paris and was living as a rich student
in the Latin quarter then lu the height
of its boliemian splendor
Claude thought to make an easy
capture of his man by attending a cer
tain famous ballroom at the hour when
dancing was at Its height He tells
the story
I had no difficulty in discovering
him seated among a swarm of pretty
girls and bewitching dauseuses
Convinced there were but two ways
of getting the better of a cunning ene
mysurprise and audacity I walked
straight up to where my rascal was
seated I walked slowly with steady
steps my eyes on the eyes of my man
He was a dark skinned handsome fel
low with a face as brazen as it was
cynical I saw by an Impreceptible
sign that he recognized me He turn
ed pale he was mine
I was almost near enough to cap
ture him when I saw him bend to the
ear of one of his companions Instant
ly all the girls surrounded me and
stood in a feverish excited ardent
phalanx before me They formed an
Impenetrable barrier behind which my
rascal escaped while the women press
ed eagerly upon me crying out
Beranger It is Berauger
The magic name presented upon
the youthful spirits there the effect
of an electric spark AH the dancers
of the establishment stopped dancing
and surrounded me with acclamations
The students and young girls rushed
up to me some bearing bouquets oth
ers glass in hand I was literally cov
ered with flowers while the whole
place rang with shouts a hundred
times repeated of Vive Beranger
Vive Beranger
I was aghast and yet I understood
the trick On the point of being col
lared by me the man I had marked
down had recourse to this shrewd
game which must havo succeeded eveu
better than he expected I certainly
had some points of resemblance to the
illustrious soug maker or the whole
world of students and grisettes in the
Latin Quarter would not have fallen
so readily into his trap I was as bald
as the poet at that time and at all
times I have had a certain good na
tured sjinpatbetic benevolence in ray
appearance such as the portraits of
Beranger show to this day
Well if the youth of Paris counter
signed the intentional error of my clev
er scamp I owed it to my resemblance
to the poet Though I was tricked I
was well tricked It was not for me
to own to these giddy pates that I was
not Beranger but Claude the police
man the agent of all the prosecutors
judges and lawyers who under the
restoration had done so much harm
to their idol I escaped from the ova
tion which was becoming delirious
under an avalanche of flowers
The Wonderful Aphis
The aphis is in one way the most
startling of ail forms of insect life
for although the females can and do
lay eggs its usual method of Increase
Is by a sort of budding process the
young growing on the bodies of the
parent exactly as brussels sprouts
grow out of the stalks of the plant
The old produce young at tho rate of
twenty five a day and as the young
are at once mature each can produce
Its twenty five on the following day
It positively frightens one to work
this multiplication out to a conclu
sion for it means this Supposing that
the aphide could increase and multiply
without interference the twenty fifth
generation would he a number too loun
to quote here Put down a 1 and fol
low it with 2S naught and you will
be within a few millions of it

THE PLAYFUL PORPOISE
A Sportive Youngster That Had Fun
With a Motor Boat
Writing of a motor boat trip on the
Black sea Henry C Bowland In Ap
pletous tells of the playfulness of the
porpoise
That evening was a lovely one the
air of a delightful temperature very
clear and the sea like a mill pond A
big school of porpoises came over to
play with the boat and the water was
j so sparklingly clear and of such a
glassy surface that we were able to
follow all their movements even when
they plunged to their fullest depth
They had not the slightest fear of the
noise of the motor but swam danger
ously close to the propeller and fre
quently rubbed themselves against the
sides of the boat
One sportive youngster kept gettiug
across the stem For almost an hour
I lay on my face forward with my
head over the bow watching him lie
was playful as a puppy and at last
Invented a little game of his own Ly
ing across the stem he would let the
curve of the how roll him over and
over presently disappearing to swim
back and repeat the performance I
have watched porpoises in many wa
ters of the globe but have never seeu
any as kittenish as these

Scoops Up Water
Some of the great transcontinental
engines take on 8000 gallons or 21
barrels of water to he turned into
steam for the next run of two hours or
auouc sixty nines liut sucu a vast
amount of water is a burden and new
supplies are desired oftener It is a
loss of time to stop and let such vast
quantities come aboard through a pipe
hence some way of taking water while
rushing at full speed is desirable It
has been found now
If you make a scoop of your hand
and swing it swiftly the hollow side
forward into water some of it will
be likely to spurt up your sleeve That
is natures hint Follow it up Find a
level place in the road and put dowu
an iron trough four inches deep four
teen inches wide and one eighth of a
mile long The engine comes rushing
along and having passed the end drops
a scoop into this trough There is a
general splutter of water but a tre
mendous stream rushes up the sleeve
of the dropped hand and pours into the
water tank When it is full the tire
man raises the scoop or it glides up
the slope at the far end of the trough
and the engine is watered for the next
run Epworth Herald
Uses For Baby Carriages
East siders in New York use their
baby carriages until they literally fall
apart Of course the primary purpose
is served well and often as the fam
ily is generally a good sized one Then
the carriage is used for a market and
shopping wagon being piled high with
potatoes greens fruit and household
goods of all kinds from neighboring
stores and push carts The east sider
doesnt often have his things sent
home Hes not sure he would get
what he had bought Then the little
boys are sent out to hover around new
buildings or old ones being demolished
and gather in wood to be pushed homo
in the baby carriage On other occa
sions it is piled high with garments
being rushed to or from the sweatshop
Sometimes packages of laundry are
delivered from it and again it is
filled with coal When it is finally
worn out it furnishes a little fuel and
four hoops for the children to play
