FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

How the Spider Btretches a Cable Acrotr a Wide Open Space. Last summer a large spider had its web in the top of a decaying peach tree with so few leaves that it was in plain view. I caught sight of her first while watching some birds with my glass. She seemed to be climbing from the top of the tree on nothing to a telephone wire some fifteen feet away and somewhat higher than her web. When she reached the wire, she went around it and then back. In studying the situation I found that the web was so located that it required a cable to hold it up, and the spider had in 6ome way got one over the wire so far away. This cable was, of course, a slender silken thread which evidently she had thrown out, and on account of its lightness it had floated to the right place and became attached there by its glutinous properties. It seems remarkable that it should have adhered to the wire firmly enough to allow so large an insect to climb over it, which she did every day. A Melancholy Event

ANY MORE FOR SLUMBERLAND? There’s a boat that sails at half past six From the busy port of Play, And it reaches the haven of Slumberland Before the close of day. The boatswain whißtles so low and sweet (Like a mother’s lullaby) That the travelers smile and close their eyes To dream of angels nigh. Sometimes the travelersjarry too long In the busy port of Play, And the anxious boatman coaxes and calls, And grieves at their delay. The name if the boat is Rock-a-by, And it’s guided by mother’s hand. For she is the patient boatmau, dear. Who takes you to Slumberland. Now, what is the fare a traveler pays On a Rock-a-by boat like this? Why, the poorest child can afford the price. For it's only a good night kiss!

CONDENSED STORIES.

Mr. Gillette’s Clever Description of How to Make a Play. Wu Ting Fang, his excellency the Chinese minister, on one occasion listened with intense approval and much industry of thought to William Gillette’s performance of his own play, “Secret Service,” and asked in reverential courtesy to be presented to the author-actor, says Short Stories. Into Mr. Gillette’s 4 by 6 milk white dressing room crowded his excellency and his suit, all bowing gracefully and unrolling their little tan hands from silk sleeves to be clasped in Gillette’s firm American grasp. “Do you work this way every night for many weeks?” asked the diplomat, driving a piercing glance at Mr. Gillette. “Yes; many months, and years if people .will stand it,” quoth Sir William of Manhattan. “How do you make this sort of a play—so beautiful a story—not interfered with in any way by the characters ?” To this question Mr. Gillette could not unfold an impromptu drama recipe, so he took refuge in the ambush of the special Gillette wit in its solemn vein of boyishness and answered: “The best way is to write your play first and then chuck in the characters where they do the least harm.” Self Sacrifice. A man was at work up the Severn on some logs which were to be floated down the river. A little accident caused him to slip into the water. He clung to a log, but the current carried his body underneath

it, and as he tried to raise himself he caught sight of his feet sticking out of the water 011 the other side of the log. A comrade hastened to help him out, but he exclaimed: “Never mind me! Save that other chap who’s in head first!”—London Answers A Theme For Bunner. Mrs. Sidney Lanier, now a resi* dent of Greenwich, Conn., was making a tour of secondhand shops lately in search of an old volume not- now to he had from the trade proper. On lower Sixth avenue she met a well known illustrator in what proved to be a favorite haunt of his. “Yes,” he said, “I love this place; it Beems almost like the old store; Bunner and I used to go there often, and, do you know, it was seated on this very stepladder”—laying his hand affectionately on the well worn treads—“that he wrote those verses, ‘Oh, for you that I never knew’— you remember? It was only a little while before his death that wc talked over a story he wanted me to illustrate, in which the plot was to turn on the sale and subsequent separation of an old library and the final reunion of this leather hacked family in a ‘secondhand’ shop like this. The love story of a bibliomaniac ran through it, ns well as that of two little brown covered volumes that had always stood side by side on the shelf. And he was just the one who could write such a story poor Bunner!” New York Times. Bh# Called For Help. H.

casion to ask one of the young 1 ladies in attendance a rather lengthy question, which she failed to understand. She therefore ask- j ed for an explanation and the professor started off again. As he progressed an occasional gleam of intelligence lit up the young lady’s face, but toward the end it was easy to see that she was not catching the i drift of the remarks. Picking up a book she pretended to take a note and then, laying the hook carelessly on the desk of a friend, stood at attention once more. The friend was seized with a violent attack of sneezing and this ended matters for the time being. Across the book the young lady questioned had written the word “help.”

ALL OVER THE HCUSI

80me of the T'ici Co '.5 I.t.'Uj a Perfect . rr. Every woman who Ukes r 1 inter, est in domestic arrangement.' considers her kitchen with as iikicli care as her parlor. Whether large or small, just as suitable appointments are needed. If small and with only one window, it should he painted in a very light tone. If the loom is large and airy, the woodwork may he a little darker. The floor may be painted with two or three coats and then allowed to harden. Very desirable is a smooth pine shellacked or well fitted linoleum of a durable color, which may be frequently washed and wiped once in awhile with kerosene. In kitchen comforts there are some essentials, such as ample closets, of which there should be three—one for coarse china and porcelain of a finer sort, another roomy place for tins, graniteware, iron utensils and other conveniences, the third for odds and ends of everyday itse. The china closet may he made by placing some three or four narrow shelves in the inside woodwork of a closed door. This gives a decorative effect, the tints of the china acting as a bit of color for this working room; or wider shelves may be placed over the stationary washtuhs in the upartment kitchen, for large platters, Boup tureens and the like. The upper shelves may have a curtain hung on rings to a narrow wooden rod. This same drapery may decorate the lower half of the window with a linen shade above. Among the comforts for the maid an easy chair and u looking glass are necessities. A small rack does excellent service for holding cookbooks, newspapers, etc., and should he found in every kitchen. In kitchen appointments nothing is more wholesome than the porcelain sink made in one piece. Of course is everyday, moderate homes it is seldom seen, hut in the perfect kitchen it should ho found.—Washington Star. Hint* For tho Housewife.

When you have to use currants, wash and dry them well and then drop them, a few at a time, on to a plate, and you’ll soon hear if there are any stones in them. To keep the uir from newly made jam glaze a piece of paper with the white of an egg and tie over the top —after the jam is cold—with a piece of string which has been soaked in vinegar. Remember, when making short paste, that the butter is added to the flour before the ingredients are mixed together, but in the case of puff paste (good for tarts) the butter is not added till after the mixture is on the board. In Btained Glass Effect. An artistic calendar in stained glass effect may be made by taking heavy tracing paper and outlining upon it a decorative figure or group of figures. Tint this in flat tones and affix to a large card with a calendar attached. -Tack narrow ribbon around for a border. A motto appropriate for Thanksgiving could be inscribed upon this card, instead of affixing the calendar to it, thus making it available as a guest card at the Thanksgiving dinner. The same idea might be carried out in a souvenir for a Halloween party. Bcorched Clothing. A poor ironer is one of the great trials of housekeeping. Scorched clothes are often discarded as hopeless, hut if not too much burned may he made all right by the patient use of onion juice. Bake the onion and squeeze out the juice. Mix it with an ounce of fuller’s earth, a little shredded Boap and wineglassful of vinegar. Heat the mixture until the soap is dissolved. Then wait until it is cold before applying. Rub it well over the scorched place, leave to dry and then put the garment in the regular washing.
