How Carle tainted to Taka Care e
tha Horn# Chicken*.
Carlo early manifested a love foi
watching and chasing chickens, a
Ctime not to be neglected with
■mall opportunities of the city.
We loon, by kindness and firmness
and much talking, broke bim of
disturbing our own chickens. Wc
often took ■ little chick in oui
hinds and fiid to him, "Pretty
ehicky, Carlo's and allow
ed him to lick it gently. Soon it
was not only safe, but safer, to have
him in the pen with tbe chicki than
otherwise, is then no rit or mouse
dared venture there. From the first
Carlo haa deemed these marauder*
worthy of death whenever and
wherever seen and icts out his con
victions. As the chicks grew theii
number was reduced to twelve, and
these were transferred to the barn.
Every night for two years Carlo
made a detour of the perches, giv
ing each fowl a good lick —they
ware so acquainted it did not alarm
them at all—and if one or mors -ol
the number wero absent he would
immediately scour the premises un
til it waa found, then give a pecul
iar bark, indicating the discovery,
nor would he give it up till the
number was complete. Could be
count? How did be know there
■hould be just twelve, no mane, no
leu? — Miry K. Holmes in Science.
A Cat's Family of Rata.
The lion and the lamb lying
down cide by tide would not be a
more remarkable spectacle than
that presented at the residence of

Here Tuddles, the pet tabby, it
looking after the welfare and early
training of three baby rata. Tud
dles gave birth to four kittens a
abort lime ago, three of which were
drowned. She mourned their loss,
and the next morning her master
was surprised to find two small rata
keeping company with the lone kit
ten, with Tuddles fondly watching
oyer the three. The day following
she waa seen to deposit another
young rat tenderly beside the other
foundlings, and she now purs as
contentedly over her strange brood
as though they wero all kittens.—

Broomstick Balance.
This is a fine game for a rainy
evening. You need a clothes basket
and a broomstick. Pass the broom
stick through the handles of your
clothes basket and raise the onus of
the broomstick on a couple of chair
seats that face each other. See that
the basket swings freely on the
broomstick. Now on the front cor
ner of the chairs place a coin, four
in all. Then get some one to step
inside the basket and sit astride
the stick and, using a cane, try to
knock off the four coins on the
chairs and then step to the ground
again. Now, this seems very easy
to do, but just try to do it and you
will see your mistake. It is not very
difficult to get into the basket and
to scat yourself on the broomstick,
but after that is when your real
trouble Login*.—

Lincoln's Promise.
While a member of congress Abra
ham Lincoln was once critieisod by
a friend for "his seeming rudeness
in declining to test the rare wines
provided by their host." The friend
ssid to him, "There is certiinly no
dinger of a man of vour years and
habits becoming addicted to the
use of wine."
"I mean no disrespect, John," an
swered Mr. Lincoln, "but I prom
Ised my precious mother only a fev
days before she died that I would
neter use anything intoxicating as
a beverage, and 1 consider that
promise as binding today as it was
the day 1 gave it."
"But," the friend continued,
"there ia a great difference between
a child surrounded by a rough class
of drinkers and a man in a home of
refinement."
"A promise is a promise forever,"
answered Mr. Lincoln, "and when
piade to a mother it is doubly bind
ing."
