It was pouring rnln, but tho twins did not mind It ono bit, becntixo they always liked over ho ninny rainy ilnyH when tlioy wcro inaking n visit nt Krnndum'H. Grandma liml n big attic, filled full of tho most wonderful things that you over saw. Thero wcro lnrgo trunks full of queer milled coatH and volvet kuee-brcocheo. And thero wcro bouncing tmndboxm that held funny green cnlnshes and tho biggest oko Iwiincts Imnglnnblo. And then thero was tho North's nrk I It wns not ltko your pretty painted one, which Is full to the very top with a wonderful mcnugerle. It wax only n little old black box without any cover. And tho uultnalsl Undo Jacob cut them nil out of some pieces of wood with his Jnck-knlfo, over ro many yearn ago, when ho wns not much older thnn thu twins. And these nnlmala were Just ns funny-looking ns nil tho rest of tho things up lu that queer old garret Thero wero blue cows and pink lions and rcd-nud-black leopards, and when Undo Jacob had Mulshed them he dis covered that all tho nnlnmls looked very much alike, so he wrote the nnmo on tho back of each ono In great black painted Ictotrs. Polly and Pnfty lied this Noah's nrk hotter thnn anything clso In that whojo attic, und they thought It wan every bit as wonderful ns Undo Jacob did when ho had finished It so many yean ago. So this rainy morning, aftor thoy bad finished their breakfast, these two little girls hurried up to tho attic and ran straight to tho corner under the oavos to got their precious treasure. Patty got here first, but when she looked Into tho box she said, "Oh I oh I oh I" very loud Indeed. "Why, what's tho matter?" exclaim ed Polly, breathlessly. "Thore'B a.llvo ommal In Itl" whis pered Patty. "There's a honp of baby mlcol A wholo neat of them I And thoy'ro pink, 'stead of gray nud furry. Peep In and see them, quick, Polly I" Polly shivered. "I don't dare to," alio said. Ami then situothlng happen ed that mndo both children scamper down thoso stain In n terrible rusf Tho mother mouse came homo I "I guess we can't go up In the stile over eguln," said Patty, woefully, 'cause I'm not 'specially fond of mice, 'leas they're In tnpa." Hut when Uncle Jacob went up Into the attic with her after ulnner. there stood the Noah's ark Just when Polly hnd left It. The mice were gone, Et ery oue of them I And the twins are till wondering It the big yellow pussy cat could tell them a secret, for she was washing her face, nnd she looked so 'knowing aud wise. Youth's Com panion. The Mother Bird. It has beea said by observers ot birds that some ot them will feed their young if they are caged, and It they rail, after a time, to release them, they will bring them a poison weed to eat so that death may end their captivity. This Is sari to seUsTS, bat sa apparently well as thwntlcated Incident Is cited to prove It Three young orioles wero captured nnd wcro Immediately caged and tho cage was hung In n tree. Tho mother soon came, calling to the llttlo ones, and In a llttlo whllo sho brought them some worms. She continued for several lnys to feed them, without paying much at tention to tho persons who wero nbout, but ono day Alio brought them n sprig of green In tho morning, nnd dlpnp pcared. In less than an hour tho young birds wero dead. An examination of the sprig showed that It was tho deadly lnrknpur, which, It Is Bald, will kill full-grown cattle. Thoro Is, of course, a possibility that tho mother brought them the sprig by mistake, hut to be lieve that would bo to doubt tho pro tective Instinct that naturalists attrib ute to birds and animals. Toimy-Tnrvy. Eddie drew n hen sitting In n box. When ho came to look nt It ho acci dentally turned tho slato on Its end, and lot tho hen disappeared and a calf was In her place. How to Walk Upstairs. Perhaps It has never occurred to tho boys nnd girls that thero Is a good wny and n bad wny to walk upstairs. Hear whnt n well-known physician snys nbout It "Thoro nro few persons who know how to walk upstairs properly. Usually n person will trend on tho ball of his foot In tnklng each stop, spring Ing himself up to tho next step. Thin In not only tiresome, but Is wonrlng on tho muscles, ns it throws tho entire suspended weight of tho body on tho leg nnd tho feet In walking upstairs the feet should bo plnccn Baunroly down on tho ntcp, heel nnd all, and then tho ascent should bo inado without hurry. In thin wny thoro will bo no ntrnln on nny particular muscle, but each will do Its work In n natural manner. GERMAN HEART TOO LARQE. Doctor of That Conntrr Telle of Ob serrations nt Olympian 3ntnee. A Gorman medlcnl man publishes Roino Interesting comparisons mndo nt tho Olympian gnmes respecting tho nlzo nnd ntninlnn of tho heart of tho English, American nnd German com petitors respectively. Dr. Smith says that an soon as ho oxamlned before tho games tho hearts of German sportsmen ho could prophesy that they would provo no formidable rivals. Tho aa of tho heart was so abnormnlly great that In contests requiring strength, en orgy nnd ondurnnco It wns physically lmiosslblo that thoy should succeed. HauiltH proved tho truth of this. fore cast, and It In notablo that tho few German athletes who did win places wero In possession of tho minimum sized hearts. In tho American sportsmen tho heart conditions were In striking contrast to thoso of tho Germans. Many of tho American athletes wore found to pos sess henrtn wnaller In dimensions than the smallest heart over measured In a Gorman hospital. An Invincible sprinter possessed tho smallest heart among tho American competitors. A German-American nthloto, rnthor sig nificantly, was found to have tho largest Among the Englishmen examined tho hoart was found to bo slightly larger thnn that of tho Amorlcans, though smaller than that shown by nny other nntlon. A parallel enso which occurred at tho gnmes strikingly Illustrated tho difference In form between the English and tho German athletes. In splto of an Indisposition n German nthloto took part In a certain contest Subsequent examination proved that his henrt hnd Increased at the end of the struggle to double Its previous size. An En glishman, suffering from tho same In disposition, returned from tho contest as winner and his heart had becomo smaller. Tho writer points out that by a wrong system of training nnd In judicious living German athletes are doing much to cultivate heart and nerve complaints on a serious scale. Jake on the I'rofeaaor. The scholarly William K. Nyerly, professor of mathematics at Harvard, wus ouce asked by a student bow to de velop a retentive memory. Tho pro fessor answered that ordinary mental exercise was suillclent to secure n good memory, whereat tho student ask ed If ho might teat tho mental capacity of his Instructor. Professor Byerly agreed and tho student asked him to listen to and remember several varied Items for a test Ho began t "One quart of whisky." "Uml" said the professor. "Six pounds of sacar, a pint of sour milk, three onions, half a gallon of mo lasses and two raw eggs" "Urn 1" Bald the professor. "Two green apples, twenty-six pea nuts, one and a bait cucumbers and four mince plea." "Uml" said the professor. "A package ot starch, sixty-seven cskes ot yeast and the skins ot seven bananas. Got that down?" "Yes," answered Dr. Byerly.
