FOR THE CHILDREN

Porto RSeo Batter Bor. • Every morning the people of the large towns of Porto Rico are awakened by little merchants crying, "Batter, butter of the country!” These are the butter boys, who go trotting In each morning, as soon as the tropical dawn begins, to sell the native batter which has been made by their mothers the day before. Each little merchant carries a plate on his head, balancing it expertly, like a juggler, and never bothering to steady it with hi* hand, whether he Is running or making change. The plate contains about fifty or sixty “pats” of the stuff. It isn’t very good, although It seems delicious to the Porto Ricans, because their climate is not adapted for keeping butter well, so they are accustomed to an article that would seem rancid and strong to the tackier persons in the north. The “pats” are very small, weighing less than an ounce each, and they sell for about a cent The customers of the butter boys usuafty buy Just enough to serve for one meal The butter boysf mothers don’t make this batter in a churn. They merely shake milk or cream in a big jar til! It is fairly solid. Then they put in tots of salt and send it to town.

■ »i — Bade BeUev-e It Wm a Bee. Lady Henry Somerset one day visited a hospital and saw a little crippled boy. The doctors were changing the plaster cast 00 his crippled limb, an operation which the anrgoans said was extremely painful. Yet the brave little fellow kept perfectly still, without wincing or making any noise except a queer low buzzing sound with his mouth. After the doctors left. Lady Somerset asked him how be could possibly stand it "That's nothin'," he answered. “Why, I just made betiwe that a bee was stlngln' me. Bees don’t hurt very much, you know, and I kept buzzin’ because I was afraid I'd forget about it's being a bee If I didn’t" The little fellow's courage Impressed Lady Henry wonderfully, and from that time on she became devoted to children—especially sick and crippled ones.

An exchange gives the following Instance of a lad’s politeness; such thoughtfulness for others by young people is a most winning trait of character; An old man entered a railroad car and was looking for a seat when a boy ten or twelve years of age rose up and said: “Take my seat sir." Tbe offer was accepted, and the Infirm old man sat down. "Why did you gfee me yonf seat?” he inquired of tfaß boy. "Because you are old, sir, and I am a boy,” was the reply. A hundred years ago there . would have been little need to record as remarkable a similar Incident.

A committee will be appointed to draw up resolutions along these lines, which will be submitted to all the members of the Lake Carriers' association for their signatures.

Fairy Tables.

I think that you could never find, no matter how you'd try, A little boy as fond of Rearing fairy tales as I; ( Not Just the kind that grownups tell orl those that come 1a books. But better ones—the stories of the branches’ and the brooks, 1 Or, When I go out all alone m long, exploring walks. The ones the cornfield tells me as I creep among the stalks— The stories of the robin and the cricket and the bee— But wonderfulest of tßenJ all, the story of the sea! The brook is like a music box: it tinkles just the same. Tbe branches swing and sing a song, like playing at a game. The corn keeps talking an tbe time and bowing very tow. I hear tbe birds and singing bugs most anywhere I go. They all tell different stories, and I don’t know which Is best, But one Is way and way and wav ahead of all the rest. The stories of the cornfield, of the brook and of the trees— They're almost stupid after you have listened to the See’S! n takes'a lot of Ilf tic waves to tell the story through. Each one comes running to the shore and says a word or two. And then another takes its place, and It goes back to find Another bit of fairy tats that It hes left behind. I stand, barefooted, on the shoes and watch them one by one. The funny pert about It is the story's never done! Ton pick it up Just anywhere, you stop It when you pleass— There never was a story so ccfrvertent as the sea's! It's all about the mermaids and fits parties that they give. And the princes turned to dotpfifns, and the places where they live. Sometimes the little waves cannot remember how It goes. That's why they all run back So he reminded, I suppose. They peep down at the mewnatSS tn their palaces of shell And then come laughing up agate, with something new to tell. In all tha books of fairy tales Fm sura there cannot be Single one as splendid as -the story of tbe seal -day Wet more Carry! to YoKttfs Companion. A Bkrm of One Acre, At OQrlaud, OaL, Samuel C. Cleek fanned far twenty-seven years an only one acre of Irrigated land. He supparted a wife, Just before dying bought three other acres and left to his wife $4,000 in bank. It is claimed -that Mr. Cteek grew upon his form a greater variety of crops than were produced from a single other acre in America. Tbe remarkable fact that stands out clearly in the life of this man Is the complete success achieved upon this tiny farm by the aid of irrigation water. In Japan an acre is considered a large farm, bat in this western country we are prune to valhe tbe tend by feeagoes and ssetkma, Farm •/ and Ranch.
