One Boy Who Struck It by Making a
Good Job of Sweeping a Sidewalk.
"The beet boy 1 ever hired," ,aid the
Store manager, "was one 1. ciiant'ed to
Nee once sweeping off a sidewalk.
"You know how many bay•, and ensuy
men, for that matter, eweep a ,t,(etv.tlk.
'+hey leave. a streak of Out hest* and
there, make a- poor job of it generally,
add pay no attention to the lrt.,=?er-by.
They are slack and indifferent and they
do whatever other work they have to
clo, yet ran make up your mind, in just
the sane way. But this boy that I'm
speaking wee maliug another tett. of a
- job of it.
He dug into the corners up by the
building and made it Mee and trim there,
and then, working quickly, too, without
losing a minute's time, he swept the
sidewalk absolutely clean; and at the
same time. as he worked, he kept his
eyes open, had some thought for other
people besides himself and some sense
of responsibility. He teas a worker and
*a good worker. You know he'd do what-
ever else he had to do in just the same
Keay.
"About three months after that we
had occasion to hire a boy, and curiously
enough. ac it semi •1 to me, that boy a.p.
plied for the jot. Ile tildii t nerd any
other reeomntcrdation to me than the
work i'cl seen hint doing, sweeping that
®adewaik, and we hired. him on the spot,
and he's been with ue ever since, advane-
aig steadily.
"What? No. he isn't re partner yet, but.
be's getting on: and you eat set it down
as a eitnple fact that any boy you see
making a good. square job of sweeping
off a sidewalk will do well anything he
undertakes." --New York Sun.

Mrs. John Scott, 489 Grand. Trunk
St., Montreal, writes Mrs. Pinkham
I was very much run down in
health from a female trouble, was thin,
nervous, and very weak, and suffered
from bearing down pains. Indeed I
did not care whether I lived or died, I
felt so badly sometimes.
-Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
poe.nd completely cured me of all my
troubles. I gained in flesh, and am
free from backache, female trouble,
sick headaches, and nervousness.
"I heartily recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
all. women's ailments, knowing what it
has•done for me."

Against Coal -Dust Explosions.
As a precaution against coal dust ex-
plosions, Professor William Galloway
(formerly professor of mining of the
University College of South Wales and
Monmouthshire), in the course of his
evidence before the Royal Commission
on Mines, said that if the coal dust in a
roadway of amine were regularly
strewn, say daily, with a sufficient
amount of salts containing large quanti-
ties of water of crystallization, or with
much larger proportions of the dusts of
clay, slate, limestone, chalk or other
substances it would be rendered quite
as innocuous as if it were damped with
water.

FACTS ABOUT THE ROBIN..
I urn. in reec-iit of a tetter from Ono

tvlio susigbmitss the following tittestiolis:an
":Wt hey call te bin n?

whin, like. the sparrow, live and thrive

sects do the robins destroy ? Where ean
1 get the Lnglish robin?"
I will endeavor go the best of rays abil-
ity to answer "Englislinian's" questions.
'rhe so-called robin here derives its
name from the fact of its being red -
breasted. It bears no resemblance to
the robin in reality; it belongs to the
thrush family, its true name being the
American red -breasted thrush, and it is
in no way* connected with the robin,
which is not a. migratory' bird, whereas.
all thrushes are. The English robin will
not, like the sparrow, live and thrive in
this country. Theyare imported in large
numbers from Europe every year for
cage birds only. You ean get one for
$3 from Hope & Son, bird dealers, Tor-
onto. The Insects are red -breasted
thrushes destroy are too numerous to
mention; they are not particular as to
what species. the insect belongs. They
will devour caterpillars, grubs, butter-
flies and are not averse to snails when
they come along. By way of dessert
they will finish off with a few cherries
or a. strawberry.—Geo. W. Gardiner, in

Grass to Save England's Coast.
Giving evidence before the Coast
Erosion Commission yesterday, Dr.
Otto Stapf described the reclamation
work performed by Spartina grasses,
which, he said, spread by underground
shoots and seed, which was dispersed
by tides and currents, and presumably
by water birds. Certain forms es-
tablished themselves easily, and the
roots and bases of the dense clumps
effectively fixed the mud, and where
they occurred in dense patches they
formed a protecting belt for the shore
or bank behind. them.—London Daily

fyRev. Chas. Stirling, Bath, N.B.: "I

Making Sealskins.
How many of the fair wearers of seal-
skin know how this fur is prepared? In
the skin of a dog or cat it will be not-
iced that at the roots of the longer,
coarser hair there are fine, short hairs,.
called "under fur."
In most animals these hairs are so
few that they are usually overlooked.
Not so with sealskin. Tb.e skirt after go-
ing through various processes to cleanse
it of grease, etc., is stretched flat with
the flesh side uppermost, A flat knife
is then passed over it, thinnin gthe skin
considerably.
In doing this it loosens the roots of
the longer hairs, which are more deeply
embedded than those of the under fur.
The rough hairs are thus got rid of
without injury to the softer fur.
Next the pelt passes through opera-
tions which soften and preserve it. `.Chen
comes the dyeing, by which the uniform
tint so genrally admired is obtained.
And now the fur is ready for making up.

The Rattler Does Not Warn,
This is one reason for the continued ex-
istence of the rattlesnake in the midst of
enemies who would exterminate it, for,
contrary to the general belief, the rattler
rarely gives its characteristic . note of
warning until actually attacked. In fact:,
the sharp, vibrant ring of its terminal
appendage is probably designed more to
assist this very defiance or warning. In
the first place, serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory ap-
paratus and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the sense of hearing being
compensated for by an extreme sensitive-
ness of feeling which makes them aware
of the approach of moving objects by the
vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
eon carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
a rattler without disturbing it or receiv-
ing warning, and while many snakes are
seen and killed by them, it is probable
that a far greater number are passed by
unnoticed. All snakes are timid and
would rather run than fight, and the rat-
tler is not inviting certain destruction by
advertising its whereabouts in the brush.
