CHILDREN'S COLUMN.

A Boy Who ClinmB With Euclid England has discovered an infant prodigy. He is Alexander Bow ley, 11 years old. Alexander fairly revels in trigonometry, is a Latin and Greek scholar and has made good progress in music and drawing. He has read Mallory's "King Arthur," Spenser and Chaucer.

The most surprising thing about the boy is that be has never been to school Atif^ in practically self taught. He began

ALEXANDER BOWLEY.

to study Euclid when he was 8 years old Recently out of 2f trigonomet­] rical transformations set before him the boy solved 18 and 6 out of 7 of the more difficult examples of junctions of two angles from Todbunter's larger work. He rarely studies more than four hours a day and never more than five hours. For the rest of the time he is a healthy, mischievous boy, full of spirits and decidedly "cheeky

Midsret'n Thanksprlvlnff. Midget lives all alone with grandma, and grandma pets him so much that he tninKs she has no right to notice any one but himself.

But at Thanksgiving a whole flock of children came to grandma's house, and grandma kissed them all and took Baby Beth on her lap.

That was too much for jealous little Midget. Ho hung down his pretty silky tail and walked straight out of the parlor and up garret and sat down in the darkest oorner and sulked.

He could smell the big turkey roasting in the oven. How he did want his Thanksgiving dinner! But he was too sulky to go down stairs until the children found him moping in titlark. They carried him down stairs and gave him the turkey drumstick on a china plate. I think this made him ashamed of his selfishness. for now thoy nre the best of friends.—Youth's Companion.

Home Can cut Curiosities.

Did you over stop to consider how rapidly the world grows away from customs that have given place to more improved methodsf For instance, only a few years ago horses were used on many of the Chicago street car lines, and the jingle of their bells as they plodded up and down between the narrow rails was one of the most common sounds in the business portion of the city. In the suburbs horse cars were used wherever there was a street car line. Soon electricity drove the horses from the tracks, and now many of the little boys and girls never saw a horse c&r.' One small 4-year-old, living in Auburn Park suburb, visited the down town district. It was a day of wonders to the child, but when she got home the first thing she told her father was that she had ridden in a oar that was pulled by horses. Sho had ridden in a trolley car many times, but never before had seen a horse oar.— Chicago Record.

A Poor Little Girl.

She never ran with a hoop, nor blew Soap bubbles out of a pipe, nor knew In all her days what a world of fun It was to scamper and jump and run She was born to wealth and a house of pride, And must be proper and dignified.

Dear little girt. I am sad for you! They have filched your world of its roseate hue They have robbed the sweets of your childish play And stolen your years and your dreamt away And you are a little girl no more, Poor little martyr in pinafore.

I frankly own I would shrink to face Your accusing eyes at the throne of grace I tremble to think what the king may mete To the culprit couched at the Judgment seat. Who has taken a child that was made to sing And stifled the song and deceived the king! —Joseph Dana Miller In Criterion.

One Favored Feline That Had a Wetikoesi For Asparagus. If you happen to be the fortunate possessor of a handsome Persian cat, tako my advice and allow its beauty to remain unadorned. Any sort of necklace, even a ribbon tie, is most detrimental to the luxuriant growth of its neck ruffle, in which, together with its bushy tail, the Persian pet's chief magnificence lies. Have you ever noticed how much more affectionate and dogiike in nature are Persians and Angoras than the ordinary housetop and doorstep species? In many respects their babits and conduct diverge radically from the traditionally accepted cat nature. My own Persians—and I have possessed some beautiful specimens—scorned the fireside even in the coldest weather and would any day prefer a sheet of brown paper on which to coil themselves up to sleep. They were exclusively devoted to their mistress, whose footsteps they followed all over the house, and would sooner 6tarve than partake of their meals in the precincts of the kitchen.

One—she was a beautiful smoke blue, very small, but of exuberant furriness— was the daintiest little beast conceivable. Food from the dining table was rarely to her taste, and her meals had nearly always to be specially ordered. She would not look at butcher's meat, she scorned salmon and would not touch milk. She demanded to be /ed on pigeon, game, whitefish and asparagus. It was only her uncontrollable passion for asparagus that caused her on rare occasions to forget her usually perfect manners. Her scent was keen, and the moment it warned her of the approach of her beloved dish she would dash upon my shoulder, and if I did not at once accede to het piteous pleading would attempt to intercept the desired dainty on its way from tho plate to my mouth by clawing it from my hand with her two front paws. So great was her greod in this respect that I could never induce her to lea^& even the hard stalks. Sho would swallow .the whole stick*!—London Outlook t*

She Thought He Was Dead. Maginnis had been ill foi^ some time, and. like a great many invalids, he was somewhat irritable, and when things failed to meet his approval the next unfortunate who came within range was pretty apt to be reminded of it in a way far more forcible than polite. He lingerod in this condition for several weeks, daily growing weaker, but still holding his own sufficiently to make things lively and more or less interesting for those about him.

Finally one day when the family doctor called he mot tho long suffering Mrs. Maginnis coming out of the sickroom, and. rubbing his hands, he cheerily remarked: "Ah, good morning, Mrs. Maginnis! How is our patient today?" "It's dead the poor mon is, O'lm afther thinkin, Hivin rist his sowl l" was the resigned roply. "You think he is dead? Don't you know whether he is or not?" demanded the doctor. "Not fer shure," responded Mrs. Maginnis briskly, "butthin he bethraysivery symptom of it. I wint into his room jist now, an ho didn't t'row anything at me!" —London Tit-Bits^

P.

Actors Have Been Known to Die From the Malady. Perhaps the most terrible malady which can attack the actor in the course of his performance is the peculiar disease known as "stage fright." Through its evil effects strong men and women have been known to faint, break down and do many other queer things, and there are even on reoord several cases of people who have died through this horrible seizure.

Some years ago a young novice, who was to appear for the first time, arrived at the theater very white and shaky. Brandy being given him, he appeared slightly better, but no sooner had he set his foot on the stage than he clapped his hand to his heart with a low cry and fell down dead. The overwhelming sensation induced by stage fright had attacked his heart, and his theatrical career ended thus even at its beginning.

Quite as ghastly was the case of the young amateur actress who, strangely enough, had never experienced stage fright when playing with her fellow amateurs, but who was seized with the attack on making her first professional appearanoe. She went through the scene, aided by the prompter, her eyes glazed, her hands rigid, and when the exit came it proved her exit from life's stage as well as the mimio boards, for sho staggered to her dressing room and fell into a comatose state from which she never recovered.

Perhaps, however, the most peouliar instance of all was that of tho veteran performer who had gone through au years of stage work without experiencing this malady. One night, however, he confided to a fellow player that a quite unaocountable nervousness had suddenly taken hold of him, and that he did not think ho could Bver act again.

His comrade laughed at the notion and urged him to go on as usual, but his astonishment may well bo conceived when tho poor old player wont on the stage and after making several vain efforts to spoak fell back and expired. The dootor who made the post mortem examination stated that death was duo to failure of the heart's action, evidently induced by the presenoe of an attack of stage fright.—Pearson's Weekly.

The words of praise bestowed upon Hood's Sarsaparilla by those who have taken it prove the merit of the medicine.
