THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER," IND.

The Girl in Blue

Maisle sighed as she went up the Stairs to the elevated railway station, »nil glancing at the better dressed girls waiting for the train, she wondered if her own dress looked ‘ireally very shabby.” A vision of the “horrid old office” rose up, blotting out the posters that announced excursions and picnics. She stooped to pick up her gloves, which she had dropped, and hurriedly boarded a northbound train. She took a seat near the door, and then, with an exclamation of annoyance, discovered that one of her precious gloves was missing. At that moment a tall figure darted down the platform and reached the gate of the car just as it closed and the train began to move. Malsie looked at the Impatient face of the man and started as she saw in his hand the missing glove.

Two days passed, and still. Malsie carried a solitary glove in her hand, while she plunged her right extremity Into her coat pocket. And then, one night, her heart gave a Joyous thump, -for standing on the station platform was “the glove man.” Would he recognize her; would he have her lost property with him? But when he took his seat in the car he was too busy reading his evening paper to notice the anxious looks cast at him by the little girl in blue linen, which contrasted with the, deep sapphireof her eyes, where something very like a tear dimmed their brilliance. She had forgotten to keep her band in her pocket, and the soft white fingers were bared to the gaze of the “glove man,” who was studying her, and not the latest scores. He noticed her single glove, the faded and carefully ironed dress, and the air of refinement about “the girl in blue,” as he had christened her. Re folded his paper methodically, and felt in his coat pocket for the tiny “suede,” which he had- wrapped up with the clumsy fingers of a man in a piece of pale blue tissue paper. He elbowed his way to Malsie’s side and, raising his hat, touched her on the arm. “I want to restore your property,” he said hesitatingly; and was amused, yet saddened, by the joyful smile that played round Maisie’s red lips. She took the* packet eagerly.

“Thank you so much; I was so cross at having dropped it the other day; ” and then, with a graceful- inclination of her ""head, she hurried through the gates. There came an evening when Maisie rode home with a very heavy heart. She had lost her position, and now was adrift without a billet or money, all through two black eyes and a lithesome figure occupying her head, instead of rowß of figures and business in general. ▲ tear wandered down Maisie’s nose on a tour of inspection; then another followed by a small regiment of its fellows. Maisie was crying in a most thorough manner. Presently die train stopped with a jerk. In the tumult that followed Maisie cried with renewed energy. "All- passengers must, get out and walk,” then came the announcement, “to the next station! ” And then a low, quiet voice addressed her. “Please allow me to help you along the track." Maisie looked up into the face of the “glove man,” who was gazing with tender eyes at Maisie’s tear-stained features. She rose and put -out her hand gropingly, and the “glove man” caught it gently and firmly and drew her arm through his. “My poor little girl,” he murmured. He carefully guided her at a safe distance from the deadly third rail.

That night, as Maisie lay in bed, the worry of her future existence no longer seemed to trouble her. The landlady had lent her parlor to Maisie in which to receive the “glove man,” tor on the evening following the accident he had promised to call and arrange about her promised position. Clad in blue, Maisie waited, and punctually as the clock struck eight the landlady entered with a slip of pasteboard. “Mr. Geoffrey Dalston,” Maisie read, and a second later the was standing before her. “It was too good of you to. come,” she began, lamely. “I scarcely think so; you see, I am In need of somebody to fill a vacant position, and I want the lady to come almost immediately. He was aTamining the button on his glove. “YesT” Maisie said, interrogatively. "Do you think you would be willing to aooept the position? Would your parents object?” Dalston queried. Maisie shook her head. “I have not any relations living. Daddy died some years ago, and mother and I lived on the pension which came to her as a naval officer’s widow. Then she left me, and I am alone.” She looked out of the window. Then Dalston lost control of his carefully arranged sentences. “Maisie,” he cried, taking hold of her small, slim hands, “will you aooept the position of —my wife?”-. \ Maisie Dalston often caresses lovingly a pair of suede gloves, and her husband has claimed sole right to buy her new ones, as he jj owes his little wife and two charmifig babies to an elusive glove that she lost and that he nffionA to her—Violet Hearn, ,

THE BABY AND THE GIANTS

THEBi: WERE GIANTS in those days, and if David, of the Bible days, or Jack the Giant Killer, of the fairy story, is to blame for the final extermination, is a matter not to be discussed here, the hot weather barring discussion of all theological or mythological question^. Suffice it to say, there were giants in those days, and some being of an affectionate nature, used to pick up the men and women they found in castles and fofests and hug them tightly to their breasts, and sometimes, particularly in hot weather, their affection was so great that it killed.

"I wish,” said a precocious baby of six months of age, in the frightful hot weather that prevailed last week, ‘‘that there were giants these days." Its mother, being stupid, did not understand that its plaintive little wail was that giants* might again people the earth, and looked it- over carefully for a pin, and, failing find one, decided that perhaps its little stomach ached, and added anther flannel blind to the burdensome clothes it wore, rubbing the prickly heat on its little body with her hot hand, and thus getting more prickly heat to come as she did it. Then she lifted the little form to her bosom and pressed it tight, and the thermometer that day marked above ninety. She loved it so that she hugged it tighter, and kissed it repeatedly, and it wailed again, but its wail was weaker. “I wish,” it wailed, panting for breath, “that there were giants in these days, for then you mothers .would fin'd out what it means to be squeezed and hugged and kissed by some big giantess with a breath like a furnace and a body as warm as an incubator on a hot summer day. “I wish you knew what it pieana to be passed from a big, hot, loving giantess to a larger, fatter, hotter giant, and given kisses that are like hot poultices and embraces that cook, and sizzle, and hake, and fry, all in the name of Love. “I wish you knew what it means to have a giant, with his breath like a hot wind, poking a big hot finger under your chin, trying to make you laugh, when it Is all you can dlo to breathe. - “I wish”— but the wail of the precocious baby had died away. Even its precocity would not admit of a longer speech under the conditions in which It was frying out an existence. But, alas! There are no giants in these days. No one to love mother and father in the way they love their little babies; no one to ehow them what it means to be hugged to a breast like an incubator and given kisses like hot poultices on a hot summer day. In the days when there were giants, and they hugged men and women so hard they killed them, these giants were greatly distressed over the loss of their pretty playthings, and never knew that their “love” killed them.* Those Who are the giants in Babyland today are not any wiser.

A DANGEROUS CRAFT.

“Mrs. De Wealth’s houseboat party has broken up.’’ “Indeed! What was the trouble?” “All the girls eloped with all the young men.”

The Fly.

“Where on earth do those fli&s come from?” is a frequent and despairing question. How do flies get Into the house? They may come down the chimneys, if the fireplaoes have tipping dampers, These should be tightly closed in flytime. An appreciable falling off In their number will be the result If the chimneys have not the tipping damper, a screen such as is used for a window can be fitted into the fireplace; or easier still, a bundle of paper may be stuffed up the chimney. Either method is successful, and no trouble is too great to get rid of these summer peats.

FRUIT ICE CREAM.—With so many fruits on hand a good base for ice cream will be timely. Scald one pint of milk, add one tablespoonful of flour blended with a little cold milk and stir until slightly thickened, then cover and cook for three-quarters of an hour. Add one cupful and a half of sugar beaten thoroughly with three eggs add stir until again slightly thickened, then strain and chill. Add one pint of heavy cream and one cupful or more of any kind of pulped fruit; when a very acid sort, such as currant, is cvhosen, increase the quality of sugar by a cupful or more, according to the acidity of the firult Freeze at once.

All Busy.

‘But, say, those lawbreakers are getting away with their plunder! Call somebody quick!” “No use. Seven of the truet-bust-lng lawyers are busy making out their bills and the rest of ’em are down to the cashier's office with handcarts drawing their pay.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. ,

OUR BOYS and GIRLS

The Story of A Daisy. Daisy is a black mare with a white mark, ip the middle of her forehead, shaped like a daisy. • She has two mistresses, a woman and a little girl, and she loves both dearly. Just to hear their voices makes her whinney With delight, and, if she is at pasture in the field she will always run at their call and be ready to go in any .direction. Then, Daisy loves not only her mistress, but every creature upon the little farm. ’ She especially loved an old cow and her calf in the next stable to her. She was almost always ready to whinney softly at every low of the old cow, as much as to tell her, that she was near i and there was nothing to fear. : . j It seems fuany. as Daisy never had offspring of her own, that she should take such a notion to the little calf in the next stall to her; but, one day, when the old cow was taken away to pasture, and the calf was left alone in the stall, Daisy became greatly excited, whinneying her displeasure at every bleat of the calf. Her mistress thought she wanted water, and led her forth to the watering trough, only to have her shake her 'head and utter another whinney. When she let go of her for a moment, Daisy walked back to the barn and entered the stable, where the little calf was tied.

The door was open and Daisy walked in with a soft little whinney and lay down very carefully beside the calf. ' The calf doubtless thought it was her mother and snuggled up closely to her warm side. Daisy’s mistress thought it was just too funny for anything, but she stroked her face, calling her a good horsey and, perhaps, this was so much encouragement that Daisy exerted herself to be still a greater friend for the poor lonely little calf. One day, when Daisy was let out of the stable to take the ladies riding, the calf was running about the carriage yard, and much to the surprise of its mistresses, it followed Daisy •very step of the way, keeping close to her side. < • " ■ * It was such a novel sight, along the country road, that everybody laughed, but this never concerned Daisy, as no doubt she felt that she was doing right, her conduct beyond reproach. There were some places Daisy was fonder of visiting than others. One was about ten miles from her home — a place, where she was always turned out in an orchard while her mistress visited. This orchard was covered with deep grass and many apples lay upon the "ground. Daisy was so glad to get to this place that she always stopped of her own accord and whinnied with delight. After being taken out of the shafts, she would enter the orchard, eat several apples, take a few nibbles of grass, and, by that time, her surroundings were so satisfactory that she showed her appreciation by lying down and rolling in the grass. One day the lady was greatly surprised when Daisy and a calf came to her place, Daisy whinneying until the gate was opened for her. She had come all that way alone, bringing her adopted offspring with her. Daisy is growing to be an old horse, but still she likes to visit where she is turned loose orchard. As for the calf,, she is a big cow now and follows Daisy no more in her travels.

The Real Will-o'-the Wisp.

Into a small retort place about an ounce of strong liquor of potash; that Is, pure potash dissolved in water, together with about a drachm of phosphorus. Let the neck or beak of the retort dip into a saucer of water, say half an inch deep; now very gently heat the liquid in the retort with a spirit-lamp until it bqjls. In a few

minutes the retert will be filled with a white cloud; then the gas generated will begin te bubble at the end es the saucer; a minute more, each bubble, as it issues from the boiling fluid, will spontaneously take fire as it comes into the air, forming at the same time the philosopher’s ring of phosphoric acid. Care is required in handling phosphorus.

Flower in a Soap Bubble.

To make a flower Inside a soap bubble, pour water in which a good deal of soap has been dissolved into a plate or tray until the bottom is covered with liquid te the depth es due-eighth es an inch. In the centre of the tray place a water lily or other flower, aad over this s tia funnel. Then blew gently through the funnel while you are slowly lifting it at the same time. Coatlaue blow lag until you make quite a large film aad thea prooeed to disengage ths funnel, after kavimg first turned it at right angles. Flowers, spinning tops and other objects may he enveloped in this way. The trtak la one which always mystl mad delights.

THE feFFICIENCY OF LABOR. The gravest evil from which thil country is now suffering, graver fcf far than the exaggerated dsn gel from monopolies or from freight re* - bates, Is the dodino in the efficient oy of labor, according to the frog Ago. It finds expression in slooehj work on the part of those who know how to do better, and. poor work oaf tee part of them wbp hove never been taught or are Incapable el learning. To the more serious defect of lowered quality is added the troublesome feature of lessened quantity. It is a curious tact teat tee one question above All which Is uppermost in the minds of manufacturers and other employers of labor, and which is privately- discussed by them with helpless Iteration, is so rarely touched upon in public utterances. The hope of developing some remedy is the sonly consolation to employers when they face the prospect of a decline In the volume of business. There has been an extraordinary demand for labor of all kinds. So far as that has raised wages and directly increased the cost of production employers have had no grievance, although It is a troublesome and difficult matter to carry them back to the normal level. As for the quantity of output oflabor, that, toe, responds fairly wen. when tite demand for labor declines. The process of weeding out the iaay and the Inefficient -begins promptly, and it may be accepted as a general fact that few managers have not thoroughly examined their rolls with a view toward making their peiset ions. The percentage usually wiQ be small, bqf the moral effect is quite out of proportion to the numbers. During the past two years the knowledge that a job was watting for any man who was willing to take it has had a demoralizing effect upon all labor throughout the country. The fact will be finmiy realised soon that steadiness, reasonable industry and acquiesence in necessary measures of discipline are primary conditions for employment, sail that simple application for work is net the only qualification. 7 “ v
