However innocent she may be, a lit- tle French girl is much more of a lit- tle woman than a child of any other nationality. She does not romp; she .which are often imitations of a grown person’s life. She is trying to learn to be the mistress of her house by means of her dolls, furniture, kitchen and dishes. Feminine arts are still a part of every well-arranged French edu- cation. Men really care more for these accomplishments than for oth- ers, as they make stay-at-home wives who look after their households; and as a French woman’s principal aim is to please her future husband, every mother prepares her daughter for this end. This is why she does not per- mit too close an intimacy with little boy cousins, because ten years later a jealous husband would take a dis- like to these friendly cousins; nor would he like his wife’s bosom friendS. in whom she confides, and who never leave her an:r better. Mothers, therefore, permit few if nowed and selected with the greatest care. One advantage of this system is that the name of friend is not care- lessly bestowed right and left; it takes time and good reasons for simple ac- quaintances to rise to that rank. The mother not only wards off little boy- cousins and intimate girl-friends, but she discourages the little girl in show- ing off her knowledge out of the class room, for she is fully aware that noth- ing could be less attractive in the eyes of the expected lord and master than a blue stocking. .

One evening, while playing in the garden, she heard a friend of her father’s ex- claim, “What a dazzling star!” “That is not a star, sir,” she said; “it is a planet.” Her mother was in des- pair, for she would rather a. hundred times have found her ignorant than have seen her “show off,” or capable of committing the enormity of contra- dicting an older person. “I hope,” she said, jestingly, as a sort of ex- cuse, “that when she is eighteen the poor little thing will have forgotten a great part of what she knows to- d'aym—Th.

It was the first one seen in that part of the country, and as the young; fel- lows call it “the lazy man’s wheel,” I told none of them about 'my purchase. Next day, in the afternoon, I filled the little tank with oil, lighted the "igni- tion lamp,” and set off at about4 o’clock for a trial trip. On that hot summer evening there was a certain indolent pleasure and comfort in sitting back and allowing the little kerosene engine to furnish the motive power, while I steered. The contrivance worked fairly well. Of course there was a. little odor, but not more than comes from a kerosene lan- tern ; and it did not puff loud enough to frighten horses. After about ten miles, southbound, I made a. call on an acquaintance, and then rode back. It had grown quite dark along the unlighted countryhigh- way when I drew near the village where I live, but as I was in no haste, I shut _ the oil oif to about the least degree of speed possible, and was jogging slowly forward, when toot, toot, toot went a mellow little bugle behind, and a fellow bicyclist trundled up abreast of me on the other side of the road. It was too dark for me to recognize him, even if he had been an acquaint- ance and not an entire stranger. He said “Good evening,” and passed me rapidly, for he was evidentlya “scorch- er,” who liked to show speed. “Good evening,” I replied, and let on a little more oil; for no one enjoys being left behind in a. summary man- ner. My new machine quickened, and I hung on his quarter. Observing this, he also quickened, and Ilet on a little more oil, keeping close in his rear. My machine now puffed audibly, and Iwas aware that my fellow traveler turned his head in an efiort to scrutin- ize me more closely. It was quite dark, however, and apparently he concluded that I was doing the puffing and exert- ing myself injudiciously to race him. “Your wind seems a little sprung, my friend,” he remarked pleasantly. "I do have the phthisic'slightly, in hayfever time,”I replied, moving up abreast of him, and even passing him a little. Thereupon he put up his ra cin g hump i It was to 'be a race, I saw. So, not to be outdone in good form, I put up a bump, too, and also opened up the feed pipe of my kerosene works. In consequence I appeared to puff terribly; but by this time the other—fel: low was doing a good deal of puffing himself, l‘pr we had come to a long stretch of ascending ground where the road was decidedly heavy. I maintained my hump and went up the hill in great shape; and I will do my rival the justice to say that he fol- lowed my lead in good style. was evidently touched, and he was ex- erting himself to the utmost. Iled him by an easy twenty yards, however, and I knew that he must be sulfering. Human muscle cannot com- pete properly, on a long, hard hill, with He stuck to the wind—sprung man must needs collapse ere long, or else, perhaps, that he could yet come in on the down-hill stretch beyond. The village lay on the other side of the hill, and, emerging from the shad- ows of a pine grove, we passed the cemetery and glided swiftly into the main street, under the bright glare of an are light. I now slowed, suddenly, preparatory to turning into the cross street where I live, and my friend of the uphill race glided alongside. “For a hay fever man you are a good —” he began to say, but stopped short; for-now for the first time he got a good view of my wheel, and saw that my feet were on the rests. Then many impetu- ous words, low but emphatic, burst from his lips. “Yes, hay fever is very disagreeable, but is not dangerous to life,” I said. “Good night.” The muttered responses of my new road acquaintance I will not repeat. The Mountaineer’s Bear Team. “I was driving along the road in the mountains of North Carolina, a short time ago,” said P. B. Mayfield, a. man of St. Louis, “when I heard a. wagon com- ing around a bend in the road. My horses shied, then began to tremble, be— ing evidently in the most abject terror. I could not make them move a foot,‘ and when the approaching team came into sight I saw the reason, and, getting out of my buggy, succeeded in quieting the horses, so as to allow the strange team room to pass, the driver of the brutes calling to me: , “ ‘They won’t hurt nothin’, stranger; don’t be skeared.’ 7 "He was driving a. team of full grown black bears, and they were mak- ing very good time. *They were hitch- ed to a wagon loaded with logs. The upper part of the wagon was like any other, but the wheels were small and heavy, evidently built by the local blacksmith. The bears paid no atten- tion to me or my team and trotted along, drawing their load seemingly without elfort.”—-Washington Evening Stan. ‘Vliy: He Was Out. Caller—.15 your fatherat home?

Many articles of copper, stone, slit-ll andgzarthenware, and a few of gold and silver have been diSCOVered in these mounds. Some of the mounds are crowded with human skeletons, while others contain no bones. It is believed that the copper plates found in some of the mounds were made before Europeans visited this country. They are composed of native copper, some of which may have been brought from Mexico and Cuba, but most of which came from the neigh- borhood of Lake Superior. This proves that in prehistoric times com~ munication and traflic must have ex- isted across this country as far; at least, as from the lakes to the gulf. and silver may, it is thought, be far less ancient than those of copper, and may have been fabricated from metal obtained through the Spaniards. One reason for thinking that the prehis- toric people who began the construc~ tion of the mounds did not know of, or employ, the gold sometimes found in the form of nuggets in Georgia, but depended for what they got on Spanish sources, is that no gold orna- ments of native manufacture have been discovered in Florida, farther north than Mosquito Inlet. It has been suggested that the little gold that did come into the hands of these people after the time of Colum— bus was probably obtained from a wrecked vessel on the coast. The Spaniards kept a» sharp lookout for gold and silver, and did not give the precious metal to the natives in bar- ter. A curious glimpse of the intellectual life of the Florida mound builders is afforded by the discovery of certain earthenware objects that archaeolo- gists call “freaks” because apparent- ly they serve no practical purpose, and were the result of mere freaks of fancy on the part of the makers. Some of these freaks are believed to have been connected with ceremonies, or ideas relating to the dead. One singular custom appears to have been the breaking or mutilating of pottery before it was buried with a human being, and Professor Holmes has suggested the." the intention was to “kill" the vescls thus treated, in order that they might accompany their deceased owners beyond the mortal world. .___T.____——— HOW TO MAKE RAIN. A Simple Apparatus and a. Little Alcohol “’ill Cause a Storm. M. Errera, professor at the Univer- sity of Brussels, has succeeded, and by a very simple process, in making artilieial rain. All that he uses is a bottle, of Bohemian glass, which is covered with an ordinary porcelain saucer and is half filled with alcohol of 92 degrees strength. He heats this bottle in a bath of water until the al- cohol, the sides of the bottle and the saucer are of an almost equal tempera- ture. Then he takes it out of the bath, places it carefully on a table and ob- serves it closely. Foreman ~.,SAuCE‘2 z I i-CLOUDS ' 2AM ’ ALCOHOL . till. l‘ ' ' He is rewarded by an interesting sight. The vapor of. the alcohol soon fills the bottle, but the saucer cools rapidly and the vapor, being warmer, becomes condensed as soon as it comes in contact with it. The upper air in the bottle also quickly becomes of a lower temperature and real clouds appear. These speedily become drops, which fall thickly, just as an ordinary rain shower. ' The bath of water performs the func- tion of the sun, the alcohol represents the ocean; the clear space beneath the saucer may be compared to the pure sky, which dominates the sombre mass of clouds, and the upper air in the bottle, chilled by contact with the saucer, plays the role of the cold at- mospheric currents which bring about the condensation of vapor into clouds. We see, then, that the phenomenon is faithfully reproduced in all its de- tails. A still more striking result can be obtained by using a cold saucer in place of the warm one. In that case the difference of temperathre will be increased and'we can witness a regu- lar old—fashioned storm or hurricane.
