One line day in the summer 18M two ten-year-old boys wl had been fishing in a stream nei u little town in Houlhern Ne York became hungry und went a farmer's house to get somethii to eat , says tin- Chicago Trilmii The farmer's wife gave them bountiful supply of bread at milk , and refused to accept at pay for it. One of the boya merely said : "Thank you , ma'am. " Hut the other wiped his mon on his coat sleeve , bowed and c pressed his gratitude at great length. "To say that .you haveeonfern a great favor upon us , madam he said , "and that we are con spondingly grateful , conveys t idea feebly. Here we are , mil from home , and suffering frc hunger , having caught nothing the little stream in which we we fishing. Von have supplied o wants most generously. Out the abundance of your lard you have ministered to the wan of two hungry strangers , and wi a hospitality rare indeed in the days of sordid greed you have i fused to accept any remuneratl for the same. It is scarcely in ossary to assure you , madam , th we shall always hold you in grn ful remembrance and should ever be in our power to requite t favor you may depend upon o doing so with the liveliest sat faction. Madam , we thank yoi "Good land , little boy ! " < claimed the farmer's wife , "wli I done for yon wasn't worth : that , but I like to hear you ta You'll be a big man some day.

LINCOLN SECURED PARDC uTod , " Son of the Illustrious , Brir About Desired Results for a Poor Woman.

" "Tad" could not talk or thief of anything else but that po distressed family , and of his plei to try and bring relief. When i president returned "Tad" was him at once about the case of ( tress. Mr. Lincoln had otl things on his mind , and did not ] much attention to the child he clung h ) his father's legs : i begged of him to sit down and him tell the sad story.

The backwardness and hnpri gressiveness of the element of ou population that opposes oystc culture are indicated by a fat stated in the National Geographi Magazine , namely , that the.Tapai ese were cultivating oysters ovc two centuries ago on the on ] practical basis of individual coi troloftheoyster bottoms. This ii tclligeiit people long ago saw wlni our politicians do not yet see- that reaping without sowing is < i improvident and ruinous in aqu culture as in agriculture. "J comes as a shock to our niitiom pride , " says the National Ge graphic Magazine for May , "tut the Japanese should have takt up oyster culture a century befoi our nation wan born and have re ognized the most essential fact < in successful cultivation , name ! individual ownership or contr of the oyster bottoms , when v remember that in the most impo taut oyster region in the worl within a short distance of the ca ital of the United States , the vit principles of oyster culture are i nored and efforts to apply the are resisted sometimes by for of arms. " Happily for the Jap among them the least iutelligei are not permitted to dictate tl policy of the state to their ov hurt and to the injury of large pu lie interests. Not only do the Japs cultiva with great profit the common 03 ter , but they cultivate also tl pearl oyster. They stimulate tl pearl secretion artificially , wi the result that every year tin have 1,250,000 oysters und treatment and obtain annual some 1150,000 pearls. Among the raising of terrapin is an u solved problem , so that we are f ji ing the extinction of the diamon back and of other less valued v rieties. Hut the Japs for yea have been placing artificial grown terrapin on the mark < Near Tokio a single farm marke yearly a crop of about 50.000 liO.OOO terrapin. In view of fat like this it seems to be "up to" o people to take a comprehensi view of their valuable but neglei ed water areas areas which v der intelligent management a capable of producing , per aci crops largely exceeding in val ( hose grown on land. We boast our position in the van of mode progress , but in respect to t utilization of our natural resoi ces we are far in the rear of t .Japanese. In fact we regard o oyster bottoms from the point view of primitive savages w hold their land in common a senselessly consume its prodm without provision for their newal. MAKES MOUTH ORGANS One Factory in Germany Makes ! Million Instruments a Year for Exportation. Although the United States by far the largest purchaser mouth organs , comparatively f are made in this country. Most the mouth organs sold here i of German make and are import from Hie Hlnrk Forest , where c factory alone turns out ( J,000t harmonicas yearly through its branches , in which 2,000 hands i employed. Only the higher grade hnrim icas are of domestic make , sinc < is impossible to compete with 1 German made affairs in the die ; er grades mostly sold , but at 1 same time the most expensive j also obtained from Germany cause of the care used in th ' .manufacture . 1 i These last are so-called "c > j cert" harmonicas , which come 'sets ' of from four tondo/.en ; i which sell for several dollars. They are tuned in various ke and in one form have six harm icas of different keys fitted a hi a central stem. Some of the nn elaborate ones are handsom decorated in silver and gold , i the wood , instead of the clu pine generally used , is mnhoga Trossingen is the headquart for the industry , and the trade s ports almost the entire popi tion.

BLACK DEATH , RATS , FLEAS It Is Believed That Germs on Rodents Are Accountable for Ter rible Plague. The origin and nature of the ? black death , which devastated Eu rope during the middle ages , has never been clear , snyjs Collier's. It seems certain that the infection was brought by the ships of cer tain tradersescaping from the Cri mea , where they had been at tacked by the Tartars at a town ou the River Don. During the at tack the Tartars were stricken with violent plague , which caused great loss of life among them. In the hope of giving the curse to the people of the besieged town , they threw bodies of their dead into the town. Their hopes were ful filled , and the defenders were also attacked by the plague. These traders took to their ships and sailed to various European ports , Constantinople , Venice and Genoa , leaving the black death everywhere behind them. This I black death had certain striking features in common with the Bom bay plague of India. A careful search of the records of Indian history has shown that there hud been an outbreak of plague in In dia just previous to the time of the Tartar siege and the introduc tion of the black death into Eu rope. These Tartars might very easily have taken the disease from the people of India. If that is the true story of the train of events , then the black death of the middle ages was the modern plague , adis- ease which we know to be caused by a certain specific bacillus. Efforts have been made to lenrn the means by which this dis ease is carried , and what causes lead to an outbreak. Certain facts bearing on these points have lately come to light and may lead to a correct knowledge of the means of plague transmission. Rats have the disease and rat fleas have been examined and found to contain quantities of the plague bacilli. Ordinarily the rat fleas are not found on man. During ep idemics of plague , however , these rat fleas are found in notable quantities on human beings , and there is no evident reason why Ihey may not inoculate man bv their bites. Doubtless these things have something to do with the spread of the plague , although enough is not yet known to allow the whole chain of events to be made out. HISTORY IS A NEW STUDY. Recognition by Universities of Im portance of America's Story of Recent Date. It seems incredible to stu dents of the present day that within the last three decades only has American history been con sidered of enough importance to be given a place in the study courses of our large universities. Henhy Cabot Lodge , in the Reader Magazine , says : "A little more than 30 years ago a boy could enter Harvard college and after four years graduate with the highest honors without knowing af the existence of the Declaration of Independence or when the constitution of the Unit ed States was framed. What was true of Harvard was true of other universities and colleges. Amer ican history was not included in the scheme of the higher educa tion. Boys entering college were required to know something of the history of Greece and Rome , but not of their own country. Dur ing the four years of the college course they had an opportunity to study the history of England and Europe , but never to learn aught of the United States. This con- ditiou of education was merely an indication of an attitude of mind then passing away , but which had once been predominant. The usu al opinion seems to have been dur ing the first half of the nineteenth century that there was no Ameri can history worth telling , apart from the adventures of the earli est settlements and the events of the revolution , which were both connected so closely with the his tory of Europe that they might be deemed of importance. " The Bicycle in Germany. The bicycle still holds its own abroad , as is shown by the fact that the exports of bicycles and parts of bicycles from Germany during the years 1002 , 1003 and 100-1 were valued at $3,427,200 , § 4,410,600 , and $4,795,700 respec tively.
