While their mother was sick, Ted and Jimmy were spending two weeks in the country at Uncle Joe's. He was a fine uncle, they both thought ; but much of the time be was busy with his writing, and then the hours hung heavy. '1'h,' novelty of the little farm was worn oil; there was no place to fish ; and the only horse on the place was Uncle Joe's own saddle -horse, too powerful for small boys to bo trust- ed alone with. Uncle Joe knew all this, and he was not suprised or the third morning to be roused from work by Ted, who entered and eat down with a gloomy sigh. "What's the natter I' he inquir- ed. "I want to play baseball, Uncle Joe." "Why don't you 1" ''There's only Jimmy and mo, and two can't. There's --there's more fun in places where there's a lot of (boys, don't you think, Uncle Joel" Ted spoke delicately, for he did not wish to hurt his uncle's feelings; but Uncle Joe understood. He al- ways had a way of understanding the boys. "You !night play wall - ball," he suggested. "What's that!" inquired his ne- phew. "You need," said Uncle Joe, "a ball, not too hard, four barrel - staves, a shingle, and the back of a wood -shed." Ted's eyes opened wide. "Sounds like a funny game !" "You get the barrel -staves, and I'll come out and show you," re- plied his uncle. Whon the staves, the shingle, and Jimmy were collected, Uncle Joe sharpened one end of three of the staves, and stuck them in the ground edgewise in a row a foot apart about five feet out from the wood -shed. Then he laid the shingle across their tops. The fourth stave ho shaved down neatly for a third of its length, and then wrap - red the cut part in cloth. "That's the bat," he explained, "and the cloth is put on so that it won't hurt your hands." "We've got a good bat, Uncle Tee," said Ted. But Uncle Joe laughed. "Not so good as this for wall - ball." he said. Then he stationed Ted, with the bat, a yard in front of the three staves and the shingle. "Now," he explained, "Jimmy shall pitch to you ; but he must stand back of this line." He mark- ed a lino about forty feet from the shed. "If you miss the ball, and it knocks off the shingle, you are out, and Jimmy bats. If you hit it, in any direction, you must run Co that tree and back, and you count as many runs as you can make trips before Jimmy can either throw the ball so as to knock off the shingle, or can stand on the home base with the ball. But if he catches on the fly, or reaches the home base with it, or knocks (,ff the shingle while you are still running, you are out." "Hbw about fouls 1" asked Ted. "A foul is as good as a fair ball in this game; only the wood -shed is on the pitcher's side, remember." "Sounds more like cricket than like baseball." objected Jimmy, ! who had read books on games and was well posted, "but I think I'd like to try it." "You may call it wood -shed crick- et if you like," answered Uncle Joe, his eyes twinkling. He returned to his writing, and was interrupted no more that morning. But two hot and red-fac- ed nephews met him at luncheon. "How did it go?" he asked. "I'►n ahead 1" cried Jimmy. "Five runs!" "He's got sixtv-two, and I've got only fifty-seven,!' said Ted, sober- ly. "But we're going to play all the afternoon, and I bet I beat him ! When is the game over, Uncie Joe 1" "Not until the wood -shed is tire(!," said Uncle Joe, again with the twinkle in his eyes. -- Youth's Companion. WHEN ANIMALS "TALK." Silence it not absolutely necessary for the safety of wild animals, says a naturalist, who recently spent some time in African forests. Wild animals arc not so noisy and "talka- tive" as are those of domestic life ; hut, then, the wilder tribes of man- kind are more taciturn that the civilized races. This is mainly due, in both cases, to the lack of social intimacy and nomadic habits. The carnivorous animals. the only na- tural cause of fear the other crea- tures have, depend mainly upon their sense of smell. They also hunt by night, seizing their prey while asleep. Tile .i impnnzee free% eptly breaks the forest's silence by answering the cries of other an- imals. The goriila also will. on oc- casion, break outinto a flood of speech ; while other monkeys are i.er-i.tent chatterers, and at almost nn}• hour, too. At night the trum- peting of the elephnnt and the bel- low of the hippopotamus are com- mon. The antelopes also "cry" at night, when the leopard hunts them. Pass the butter And the chisel, please.

EMERGENCY II AR -CHESTS. Money Does nut Last Long When War Begins. Tho 830,000,000 in gold, which Germany keeps hoarded up in the Julius Tower at Spandau against the next great European war, and which certain clerical members of the Reichstag recently wanted to convert to other and more immedi- ate needs of the Empire, is not a great sum as Government war - chests go. In the event of hostilities breaking out with, say, France, it would probably be exhausted inside of a week. True, in the war of 1870-71, Bis- marck made the 825,000,000 he had on hand last over the first fortnight. But wars then were not nearly so costly as they have since become. Russia possessed a war -chest of $200,000,000 when hostilities broke out between her and Japan in 1904. Or, at all events, so she asserted. Yet she was borrowing money freely before the campaign was four weeks old. This, by the bye, was the biggest. "kriegschatz" (emergency war- chest) ever got together by any na- tion, although the United States once bid fair to equal it. This was after the civil war of 1881-85, when the Government at Washington was in such dire straits for money that is notes sank in vale until they would fetch something less than one- third their face value. One of the first things it did, con- sequently, when public credit was at length fully restored, was to start a "kriegschatz" with an eye to future emergencies. Its war treas- ure, however, was not in gold, but coined silver, and the weight t eight of this presently broke down the walls of the treasury, the resultant ava- lanche of dollars killing, and tem- porarily burying, several unhappy clerks. After this experience, the United States determined to rely, as does Britain, on her ordinary bank re- serve. d• SKILLED.

A retriever known as Jack has taken upon himself the duties of canine superintendent of the Allan Line at The Canada dock, Liver- pool. As soon as one of the com- pany's steamers arrives he is the first up the plank, making tracks fur the galley, where the cook awaits hint with a bone. At 7 o'clock every morning he ushers the dock laborers to their work, barking at the head of the procession. He accompanies them out to dinner, and leads them in again for the afternoon. Jack at 1 o'olock then may go a mile away to board an Allan steamer in the graving dock, but he never makes the mistake of going on a wrong vessel. Sunday is Jack's visiting (lay. How he found out various Allan officials' homes in Everton or Wal- ton, miles away, nobody knows, but he barks at the doors regularly and is taken in to dinner at one house and to tea at another. At 11 o'clock at night he returns to the dock, where he barks until the watchman opens the gate for him. BABY'S GREAT DANGER DORINM HOT WEATHER More little lives are lost during the hot weather than at any other time of the year, diarrhoea, dysen- try, cholera, infantum and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. During the hot weather months Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept in every borne where there are small children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel trou- bles. Or if the trouble comes un- awares the prompt use of this . ne- dicino will bring the child thro. �h safely. Mrs. J. Renard, New Glas- gow, Que., says :—"One of my chil- dren had a severe attack of diar- rhoea which Baby's Own Tablets promptly cured.

They Advertise Themselves.—Im- mediately they were offered to the public, Parmelee's Vegetable Pills became popular because of the good report they made for themselves. That reputation has grown, and they now rank among the first me- dicines for use in attacks of dys- pepsia and biliousness, complaints of the liver and kidneys, rheuma- tism, fever an(i ague and the in- numerable complications to which these ailments give rise.

Thomas Kelly, of Ballygawley, County Tyrone, Ireland, who at 107 climbed a ladder and repaired his own root, is the latest centenarian to give to the world his recipe for old age, which is made up of "plain food, early rising, hard work, a sparing use of alcohol, plenty of fresh mountain air," says the West- minster Gazette. A Mrs. Mary Bradley attributed her good health at lel to her lifelong indulgence in a daily cold bath. Miss Eliza Works at 105 said :—"I attribute my lung life to temperate habits and to my favorite diet of bread and milk. I never ate sweetmeats or drank tea or coffee."
