One Boy Who Struck It by Making a Good Job of Sweeping a Sidewalk, "The best boy I ever hired," said the store manager, "Wee one 1 chanced to see once sweeping off a nideoalk. "You know how ninny boys, and ninny men, for that matter, sweep 0 sidewalk. They leave a streak of dirt here end there, stake a poor job of it gout i ally', and pay no attention to the pa.,tr-by. They aro slack and indifferent and they do whatever other work they have to do, you can make up your mind, in just the same way, But flus boy that I'm epeaking was making anothersoft of a job of it. He dug into the corners up by the building and made it nice and trine there, and then, working quickly, too, without losing n minute's time, he swept the sidewalk` absolutely clean; and at the name time, as he worked, he kept his eyes open, had rime thought for other people bosidee himself and some sense of responsibility. He was a worker and a good worker. You know he'd do what- ever else. he had. to do in just the same way. "About three months after that we had occasion to hire a boy, and curiously enough, as it seemed to me, that boy ap- plied for the job. IIe didn't need any other recommendation to me than the work I'd. seen him doings sweeping that sidewalk, and we hired Trim on the spot, and he's been with us ever since, advanc- fng-steadily. "What? No, he isn't In partner yet, but he's getting on; and you can set it down as a simple fast that any boy you see making a good, square job of sweeping off a sidewalk will do well anything he undertakes,"—New York Sun.

Where can 1 get the English robin?" 1 will endeavor to the best of my abil- ity to answer "Englishman's" questions. The so -celled robin here derives, its wane from the fact of its being red- breast oil, It bears no resemblance to the robin in reality; it belongs to the thrush family, its tree name being the American red -breasted thrush, and it is in no way contested with the robin, which is not migratory bird, whereas all thrushes see, '1"hr English robin will not, like the sparrow, lite and thrive in this country.

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. The skin after go- ing through various processes to cleanse it of grouse, etc., is stretched flat with the flesh aide 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, Then comes the dyeing, by which the uniform tint so genrally Admired is obtained. And now the fur is ready for milking up. —Montreal Standard. •-1 Not Knocking Anybody. Lawyer --The defendant in this edge is a lazy, worthless fellow, isn't het Witness sir.

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, ribrnnt ring of its terminal appendage is probably, designed more to assist this very defiance or warning. 111 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.
