Of course, |am not an artist now. Guyoriczs may have nothing fo teach me, tut I am not an artist, as far as a good engagement goes, until I have received the trademark from Pesth—‘made in Hungary."” “You are {nodest,” said Starcom. “You mean because I say that Guyoriczs may |have nothing to teach me? Well, tell me your candid opinion. Has he? But did ever a genius come out of Chicago? If I play—and I know I can play—they say, ‘Who is she? ‘Oh, a little Chicago girl. I think shstudied in |Boston for a year or two. That explains the technique, of course.’ 1 tell .you, my friend, you've got {to come before the public with European prestige. It’s disgusting, but it’s true. Not even Boston can wipe out the deep damnation of Chicago.” “Cut it out, Miriam,” advised the

young man, his eyes fastened hungrily on the dark beauty of her animated face. ‘“Let’s look over the list of vacant flats—and you can play to me evenings. You wouldn’t get anything but hearbreaks and little squabbles out of the other, even if you succeeded.” * She looked at him half contemptuously, half pityingly. ‘lt may be as you say, Dick,” she said, “but I won'r be happy until I've had my chance and tried it. The best thing you can do is to help meé2 = : _ . “Help you to spoilmy life.” “Nonsense! I've t(gl(ll you that if it were anyone it would be you, but if I came to you now I would spoil your life and my own, too. I want my year at least. You can’t lend me the money, because you are too poor. If you could I wouldn’t take it. Lots of people would lend me the money. Some of them would give it. Well, lend me your bhrains.” | “Couldn’'t you sell your fiddle? You say it’s worth $5,000.- I should think that was an easy way out of the diffieculty. '« | : : “I thought you would show a little more intelligence than that. My violin! I couldn’t, Dick; - you Lknow I couldn’t. It's all I have left, and dad’s gift, besides. Poor-dad! If he had

only lived!’t = Tears stood in the beautiful dark -eyes and Starcom looked embarrassed “May I smoke?” he asked, presently. “It helps me to think, and I want to think of some way out for you.” Bheo nodded and he lit a cigar. Bt “Would you pawn it?” he asked suddenly, after a few puffs. “I should think that you ought to get a third of its value—that’s what they generally allow me when I hypothecate my family jewels owing to temporary financial stress.” . ‘“The last financial stress was roses for me at that little concert, wasn’t it?” she asked, smiling. ‘“How many jewels did you hypothecate, Dick?” “Eight,” -answered Starcom promptly. “It was jeweled in eight holes and ‘had a lever movement.” “I thought that was it,”” she said, in a softened voice. “Dick, if I thought I could be happy I'd take you now, but I couldn’t make you happy unless I was. my dear boy. You are good.” “Don’t get that idea in your head,” said Starcom. “I’'m not. I'm just considering a burglary to help you out.” “Don’t do that,” she said. “No, Dick, I really respect you, and I want to have somebody respectable to lean on.” “Come on, then,” said Starcom, airilv. “I'm ready. I have another plan,” .he continued, when he had recovered from the withering glance she- gave him. “I won’t tell you what it is unt;l i make sure about it. It will take ten days. Can you wait as long as that?” “l expect to wait longer,”” she answered. . 2 Within 'the time mentioned Starcom had his plan matured. “I didn’t tell you what it-was,” he said, “because 1 know you would have thought it absurd. I have a friend in New York state—Cahoondawachick. --He is an ec-

centric old chap, and rich as mud. He's going to lend you the money, + Miriam.” . { -~ “Dick, you are erazy!”’ o “Not at all. He’s a collector; and he wants your Amanti.

We’ll express it to him to-morrow, and I'l come around in the morning and help you to pack. it.> 5 . ‘“And do you think I'd trust it to the express company?”’ “Oh, you’ll insure it, of course,” said Starcom. “I'll see to that, too. It’s all right, Miriam.” : The girl offered other objections, but Starcomr overruled themgin a brisk, businesslike fashion, and the next day he saw to the insurance and brought the box around for the packing. It was nailed when he brought it, and he was obliged to ask the young woman for a hammer and chisel. She wa3 gone two or three minutes only, bur when she came back the box was opened.: “I got tired of waiting for you, and pulled the nails with my teeth,” said Starcom, fin his absurd way. “Now fcr the Amanti.”

. “How peculiarly the box smells,” remarked the girl, putting her pretty little nose down to it. “Like naptha, 'or kerosene, or something.” e “That’s nothing,” said Starcom. “It'll keep the damp out. A little more of the cotton to hold it snug, and then I'll trouble you for some nails. These are bent and I want to fasten it securely. Too bad to bother you to go out again.” That night the evil-smelling box, covered with labels and seals, was packed in an express car speeding to the affluent violin collector of Cahoondawachick. ‘' At nine o’clock the next morning it wag piled with a heap of other baggage against the shady side of the Wigton depot, awaiting transfer to the branch line of Cahoondawachick. At 9:12, from some cause unknown—possibly a carelessly thrown match—the box caught fire. Wigton is a lonely sort of a place for a junction, and before the station agent and a stray passenger who was awaliting the Chicago express, noticed the hlaze there was not much left of the hox to jump on. The station master jumped on it.

She really was grieved over the loss of her Amanti; but Dick’s remorse for having induced her to take the risk was so touching that she almost forgot her sorréw in ¢éonsoling him. And then, of course, the insurance money softened the blow. When she came back sha had the Guyoriczs trade mark, but she did not seem enthusiastically anxious for a career. g

~ “I wish'l had no’t gone,” she confessed to Starcom. “If I had my old violin back and my old life I believe I could be happy, after all. I'm worn out, Dick.” : : “Will I do without the -violin®” asked Starcom. i

“Dick, I've missed you the whole dreary time,” she said, with a sigh of content, as he took her'into his arms.

It was rather a surprise for Miriam when she found that she had married a successful speculator. She was rather shocked, too, for she had ideas on the subject. It was another surprise when she found her old Amanii carelessly lying ‘on the piano in the gorgeous music froom that had been planned as another surprise. Starcom explained that an unserupulous collector had substituted the cheap violin for the Amanti before it was shipped, but he was bound, in view of the restitution, not to divulge that unscrupulous person’s name.

“I've sent the insurance company a check,” he concluded, “sc I guess nobody’s got any kick coming. I know I haven’t. It was a good thing, though that the spurious instrument happened to get burned.” Mrs. Starcom might have asked a good many questions, but she is trying to be satisfied with her husband.

Telephone Through ‘,ungle. The progress of civilization is shown by the completion. of a telephone line through a thick jungle 750 miles wide, in the heart of Africa. ‘lt has been built by the Belgian government to enable the various Belgian colonies to communicate with one another. The wires are strung on iron posts and on the largest trees of the jungle. Some of the poles are half a mile apart, where the wires cross a swift river or a dangerous swamp. Posts could not be used on account of the white ants, and the large number of elephants made it necessary to keep the wires hign above the ground. Asstorms will throw trees across the line, and wasps = will make their nests in the insulators, and nativeés are liable to steal the wire, the Belgian government expeets to -have trouble in keeping the linedn operation.” —Telephony. :

TheWoman’s Suffrage Movement ~in the United States | History of the Fight for Equal Rights the Fair Sex Has Made Since 1840.

> o . J OMAN in politics comes be@v fore us intermittently, ’t‘ Ay~ arousing a more or less idle Y : _interest, according to localA ity and personality. Just ; now' the idle ' interest be- . comes general, owing to the presence at the recent national republican convention of a sprinkling ocf women delegates, and to the efforts made by the women suffragists gathered at Chicago to have inserted in the republican platform a plank favoring a constitutional amendment preventing the disfranchisement of American citizens because of sex. ; : It was back in the late '4os the wom-an-suffrage movement had birth in the United States. It occurred at the time the question of radical temperance measures was being agitated. Such men as William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips“and .Horace Greeley lent encouragement to the women in their support of reforms, and also in their search of “Rights,” and leaders and followers increased. Then came the abolitionist crusade, and here women were given added.opportunity to take part.in public affairs. This period may be spoken of as perhaps the most conspicuous .in our 60 years’ history of woman’s struggle for equality. In the woman suffrage ranks to-day few figures, if any at ail, stand out as did those of the first leaders—Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Amelia Bloomer, Anna Dickinson. Of these women, probably the most remarkable of all was Miss Anthony, who, now at the age of 84, still coutinues thoroughly devoted to the “sacred cause.” Once considered a most improper person, a radical entertaining views that threatened the peac2 and morality of the family, Miss Anthany has lived to see herself no longer misjudged and reviled by the rabble; very much revered by a large number, followers of her beliefs and cbservers that are able to yield respect to sincerity and earnestness of purpose. As Douglas Story says of her: “Through it all she has emerged a serene-faced, white-haired old woman, strong in her principles, justified in much that once seemed heretical.”

Miss Anthony for over 50 years has been the strong business. head of the women’s rights people, and has also labored as politician, orator and reformer. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who died but recently, was of quite different type than Miss Anthony; in appearance what is called more pleasing, moré magnetic as a speaket‘.’FroEr-_ ‘the time of her call for the first; woman’s congress, in 1848, to her death, in 1902, at the advanced age of 85, she displayed the greatest zeal in the interests of swoman’s progress. At the time of her death she was honorary president of the National American Woman's Suffrage association. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who succeeded Miss Anthony as president of the association, is one of the wellknown later leaders. Other prominent woman suffragists of the present are Mrs. Catherine Waugh MecCulloch, a lawyer residing in Chicago; Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, of Denver, president of the National Federation of Women’s clubs; Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, vice president-at-large of the suffragist association; Charlotte Per‘kins Stetson Gilman, the author. Many noted women are quoted as advocates

QUEER TASTES OF WOMEN

“The new waiter came to me looking scared,” said the head waiter in a Chicago restaurant where many working girls take their luncheon. “I got him from a downtown place where men are served exclusively. The whims of women privileged to order their own meals frightened him. . ~ “‘That girl wants powdered sugar with an order of little necks,’ he said, as though he expected me to fall at the news. : “‘Give it to her,’ I said, ‘ahd give her plenty of it.’ “I have seen women who think steak and onions grossly unhealthy'eat raw clams with sugar and olive oil. I have seen them use Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup, and sugar as a condi-

congressmen. Abraham Lincoln declared himself publicly for woman's suffrage, and Roosevelt, when governor, sent this message to the legislature: “I call your attention to the desirability of gradually enlarging the sphere in which the.suffrage can be extended to women.” i Though it was in the east the suffrage movement was started, it is in the west that we find the suffrage states to-day—Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho. ‘Wyoming was the first place in the United States to enfranchise women, back in 1869 the territorial legislature giving full suffrage. Utah gave women the suffrage in 1870, congress disfranchised them in 1887, and in 1895 the suffrage amendment restored their rights. All political parties in Idaho favored giving women the vote, and the suffrage amendment passed there with very little trouble. To-day, though women have gained several legal and some political rights by meams of the years of suffrage agi-

Women band themselves together to combat the struggle of the suffragists, come out openly to contest having political burdens thrust upon them. The Catholic World, in an editorial entiled “Twen-ty-five Years of Woman’s Suffrage,” thus summarizes the indifference and opposition shown in the time mentioned: “It has come to be demonstrated that women do not want the right to vote. OQutside the small -coterie of agitators, the rank and file of the women have never betrayed a burning desire to rush to the polls. - When the Kelsey bill was enacted by the New York legislature, giving women taxpayers the right to vote on questions of appropriations at special elections, only a very small proportion of the women availed themselves of the privilege. The woman-suffrage amendment was defeated in Massachusetts by a vote of 137 to 47. In the Connecticut constitutional convention there were but. three vctes in favor of giving the suffragists a hearing on a woman’s suffrage amendment. In lowa, where the great battle was fought, the waning power of the suffragists is indicated by the following figures: in 1898 the legislature voted 49 to 47 against a woman’s suffrage movement; in. 1900 it voted 55 to 43, and in 1902 when the roll was called the vote stood 51 to 38. In New York state there is an organization forceful in numbers, but more particularly forceful in the character of its membership, which has for its avowed purpose the making of a persistent protest against laying on woman’s =houlders the burden of the ballot.” o

In recent reading on the subject, we had expected to come upon a great amount of materiai eulogistic of woman’s work in public life, but found most of the articles perused either mildly or else strongly critical of woman suffrage; both men and women writers seeming to have plentiful occasion for criticism of the methods and results of the use of the ballot by women. Elizabeth McCracken, in an article in the Outlook on woman’s suffrage in Colorado, a state where women have had the equal suffrage for 12 years, writes rather discouragingly of the opportunity afforded women voters. Her main argument is that grave disaster has been brought upon the women themselves, that there is noticeable a lowgring of womanly ideals.

/A man writer on the same sibject, /W/[r. William Macleod Raine, strange to relate, does not chronicle any loss of womanly dignity, but gives as his conclusions, ~after a seemingly -careful study of the matter, that women voters do not regenerate politics to the extent heralded by their friends; but does think women are being awakened to some desirable interest in civic affairs; says that this newly-aroused interest has manifested itself in the greater cleanliness of streets, in city park improvements, in the care, ventilation and artistic decoration of school buildings. All of which Mr. Raine thinks comes very properly in woman’s province, are matters that she naturally would supervise very successfully. / CHRISTOPHER WEBSTER.

MEDICINAL VALUE OF FOODS

Virtues of Fruits and Vegetables 25 That Are on Our Tables Every Day.

Some physical culturists claim that & vegetarian and fruit diet produces an excellent complexion. However true that may be, it is certain that in the food products of earth and tree are many whose medicinal value cannot be toe highly estimated. For instance, spinach and dandelion are good for kidney troubles; celery is good for those suffering from rheumatism, neuralgia, disease of the nerves and nervous dyspepsia; lettuce and cucumbers cool the system, and the former is good for insomnia, -

To produce perspiration' and relieva the system of impurities try asparagus.

Tomatoes contain vegetable calomel and are good for liver troubles, and strawberries make for a good complexion. There is nothing, medicinally speaking, so useful in cases of nervous pros-

tration as the humble onion. It i 3 almost the best nervine known, and may be used in coughs, colds and influenza; in consumption, scurvy, hydrophobia, gravel and kindred diseases.

White onions overcome sleeplessness, while red ones are an excellent diuretic. Eaten every day, they soon have a whitening effect upon the complexion. ; : s

For malaria and erysipelas nothinz is better than cranberries, while blackberries are useful in all cases of diarrhoea. ‘

Lemon juice, with sugar and the beaten white of egg, may be used to relieve hoarseness.

Figs are valuable as a food to those suffering with sluggish system, and pieplant is excellent for purifying the blood. 5

LIBERATED LABORER’S PLAN

Is Left a Fortune and Has Unique Idea for an Enjoyable Celebration.

Fifty-six years old, gray and sad with the weight of misfortunes and hard toil, Patrick J. Hennessey is a much congratulated man over his sudden acquisition of fortune, relates a New York exchange. Hennessey was a workman at the Havemeyer sugar refinery in Williamsburg at $2 a day, who has suddenly come into possession. of a big fortune through the death of an uncle in Australia. He has been a hard-working fellow, who has labored hard to keep a motherless family from six in the morning until six in the evening. When the news of his good fortune spread through the big refinery his comrades began discussing the probable uses to which he would put his money. Later in the day they called at his home. ol

“Hennessey,” said one, “what are ye goin’ t’ do with all that money when ye git it?’} : i “Why, sure, man,” replied another, “he’ll jine th’ Foor Hundred an’ buy an ottomobilly an’ a yacht an’ ride around in his coach an’ foor with the best av thim, will ye not, Hennessey ?” ok Hennessey smiled and said:

- “No, boys, you're all wrong. For years and years I've been awakened every morning by an alarm clock. At five o’clock it has gone off, and it said to me: ‘Hehnessey,’ it said, ‘’tis five o’clock. Get up; ’tis me orders.’ An’ for years I've had to obey that order. - “When I get the money I'm going to buy six alarm clocks. They’ll be set for five o’clock, ten minutes past, 20 minutes past, half past, 5:40 and 5:45, and as each one goes off I'll hurl it through the window and roll over to wait for the next one. 4 ‘ L “"'will be like discharging a slave driver.” s

TALE OF LOVE'S TRIUMPH.

American Heiress Besieges the Heart of Her Titled Adored One’s - Mother.

With a fluttering heart the beautiful girl approached the magnificent old duchess, relates the Chicago RécordHerald. ;

“I have come,” the lovely American said in low, sweet tones, ‘‘to speak to you about something that is very—that is very—very—" “There, there, sit down,” the stately dame interrupted. “Compose yourself. Won’t you have something to quiet your nerves?”’ : . “O, thank yon.‘%)lu are very Kkind. As you doubtless ow, my father began life as a tin peddler, and my mother in her younger years had a job as diningroom girl in a boarding house. But you will not let these things prejudice you against me, will you? Please say that you will overlook my family and judge me for my worth alone. I love Bertie so much. It would kill me if you were to tell me that he cannot be mine. Please, please say that you will give your consent?” “H'm! Have you and he arrived at an understanding?”’ -~ , ‘

“Yes. I asked him last night to be mine and he confessed that he loved me. Al]l that we need now to complete our happiness is your consent.”

“Well, if you can support him in the style to which he has been accustomed, 1 suppose I must yield.”

“0, you dear, sweet old thing! I will give orders to-morrow to have the castle fitted up with modern plumbing and an elevator.”

Care of Oilcloth.

Oilcloth looks better and lasts longer if polished with beeswax and turpentine than if washed. To make the polish dissolve an ounce of beeswax in a pint of turpentine. Apply, with one piece of flannel and polish with another. To get a good effect quickly be careful always to use clean cloths. Old woolen vests, ete., will answer the purpose, and it is really a saving of time in the end if they are washed each time they are used—Washington Star. Blackberries for Pies.

And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the hoyse of David: 27. If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehcboam, kifig of Judah, and they shall kill me, anc go again to Rehoboam king of Judzaha. 28. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and satd unto them: It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O . Israel, which brought thee up out of the land ot Egypt. 29. And he set the one in Betlre] and the other put he in Dan. : ) 20.

And Jercboam ordained a feas” in the eighth. montk, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is ig Judah, and he offered upon the aitar. Sc did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calvss that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high piaces which he had made,

33. So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the cighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his owr heart; and orc¢ained a feast unto the children of Israe!; and hLe offered upon the atar, and burnt incense, . : i

Oh, to be able to say with our blessed Lord: ‘I seek not mine ¢wn will, but the will of Him that g¢nt Me!’ ’— Meyer. : : - Jereboam’s Three-Fold Iniquity. “Made two calves of gold.”—ldolatory. : “Made priests of the lowest of tne people.”—Sacrilege. : “Ordained a feast.”—Godless Presumption. :

Idolatry.—Jereboam broke the serond of the ten commandments and paved the way for the breaking of the first and third, under later kings, notably Ahab. In this day we need to remember that covetousness is idolatry (Col. 6:5), that idolatry is one of the works of the flesh or the natural man (Gal. 5:20), and that we must flee from icolatry if we would escape this siu (1 Cor. 10:14, and 1 John 5:21). Sacrilege.—The Levites had been set apart by God for the mriestly office (Num. 3:10, 12), and for Jereboam to ussign to the sacred function those from among “the lowest of the people” was a great and awful sin. Godless = Presumption. — Jereboam changed the feast of Tabernacles from the fifteenth of tbe seventh -to the fifteenth of the e€ighth month. God’s appointments cannot be lightly set aside.—See Mk. 7:13.

MINES AND MINING.

Somebody has estimated that the Lake Superior irom deposits will be exhausted in 25 years. Labor unions of Georgia are advocating the establishment of a bureau of state labor statistics and mining.

The deepest gold mine in the world is at Bendigo, Australia. Its shaft is down 3,900 feet, or only 60 feet short of three-quarters of a mile. The heat at that depth is 108 degrees. ¢

BIG DOG ATTENDS SCHOOL. Follows His Little Master Every Day » in Spite of Objections Made by His Teacher. N Whoever heard of a dog going to school? : i In Pawtucket, R. I, there is a dog that has been attending school for a couple of years. His name is Prince Turner. He goes to ‘one of the grammar schools. S He is a Newfoundland dog—a big, heavy fellow—but his manners and his disposition are perfectly gentle. Does he break the rules? - Not as often as his boy companions do. Indeed, his deportment grade is very high. ] . Prince Turner belongs to a little boy whose name is Willie' Turner, and when he first began bringing Prince to school the teacher objected. - But her. objections did no good, for Prince was determined to come with his little master. . = | For a little while he was as awkward as a bull in a china shop; the aisles were so narrow that sometimes he had a tight squeeze to get through. And then in- his .good' humor he would switch his tail back and. forth, which sometimes gave the children a smart'slap in their faces. ) . After a bit, however, he learned how to get along very nicely in the schoolroom. . . -

Prince’s regular p}ace in the room is an open'space in front of the teacher’'s desk.: . - .

Occasionally he rises and moves quiet= ly about the room, stopping now and then to let some boy or girl-give him a pat and a hug. O At recess time in the morning and in the afternoon he rises and marches out with the children and takes his recreation with them, and then marches in. One day, however, Prince had a little errand to attend to at recess time and wandered farther away from the-school yard than Le expected to, When the bell rang at the close of recess he did not hear it. The teacher noticed that prince was not in line -s> she opened the window and rang the bell a second time. This time Prince heard it, and trotted straight back to the yard and found his place in the line. ’ One time his master had misbehaved and was sent to the principal to be p\ggished. Prince somehow seemed to realize that his master was in trouble, so what did he do but march into the principal’'s room—the door had been left open—plant himself beside his master and look dangerous. - i The principal did not dare to punish the boy until the dog had been removed. Perhaps some of you boys wish you had a dog around to protect you when you have misbehaved and are going to be punished. S > ' Prince would like to" go to Sunday school, but the superintendent has not yet made up his mind that’it would do to let a big dog in. "So the poor fellow has to wait at the door until Sunday school is over and Willie comes out.— Chicago Inter Ocean. - - - Kennebec’s Proud Boast. Kennebec county, Maine, has, since 1820, furnished ten governors, -eight United States senators, ten national representatives, 14 secretaries of state, six state treasurers, three attorney generals, six presidents of the state senate, 11 speakers of the house, three cabinet officials and one speaker-of the national house. Koran Is Not for Sale. Booksellers in Turkey never sell the Koran. The Turkish Bible is deemed too precious to be sold. It is given away to the person who desires it, but the tradesman first insists that he receive a nice little present in money. '

INSECTS THAT MAKE BURS.

Something About the Cunningly Constructed Home of a Fly, Enown as Rhodites Eglantina. :

Of course you do nct expcet to see chestnut burs on a wild rose bush, but occasionally, if you are an observamt boy or girl, you will ciscover some big round, green growth-surrounding the stalk of the fragrant sweet briar, that on account of their dense covering of spiny- “prickles” look very much like burs. ‘But inside you will find that the resemblance .ceases, for instead of a shining trio of fat brown nuts, you will find'a series of compact little cells wherein are curled up, each mite in a compartment of its own, a number of small white larvae. They secure a sufficient amount of nourishment from the walls of their tiny chambers, which are composed of succulent matter. ' Now when-you have discovered-that this funny growth is-not the fruit of the sweet-smelling pink rose, you:will be interested in it as a cunningly constructed home- of a.small insect family. In the beginning,-the parent fly punctures the sharp thorned stalk of the plant, and oviposits numerous wee eggs. Very

Behid these secure walis the minute eggs hatch into small worm-like larvae, but it is usually quite summer before the perfect insect called Rhodcites eglantina comes out as a winged fly. This little cerature is extremely handsome in appearance, with gleaming me‘tallicgreen head, iridescent rose ard peacock blue body and wee amber legs. Its wings show many brigat colors tike the surface of a soap bubble, and: the little fellow looks like a rich jewel as it tilts about on a green leaf. This brcod produces a late gall in which the larvae hibernate through the winter..” coming forth in the spring perfected flies to contﬁme their gentle, inoffensive life story. If you gather a few of these galls and put them in a box, not quite air tight, you will probably soon have a little family of iridescent flies that will dart about in search of their favorite food plant. If you are quite humane you will place a ‘drop of water wkere they can drink from it, then give them their liberty, for all wild things love to ‘o free” and these little flies are without harm.—Albert Feld, in American Agriculturist.

Elsie Explains Eer Drawing.

A Milwaukee kindergarten teacher asked ‘her pupils to draw pictures illustrating some song with wiich they were- familiar. After considerable labor one of the children came forward with a sheet of paper covered by delightfully cabalistic designs. The composition of the picture consisted of three rude buckets, ranged in order; the crude representation of a

well, and a series of dots and spots made with the point of a pencil. “What is this?” asked the teacher, pointing to the first pail. - “That,” said _the young artist, “is the old oaken bucket. The next is the iron bound bucket, the last one’s the moss-covered bucket—and this is the well.” “And what are these dots?” ‘“Oh, you know! They're the ‘spots that my infancy knew.”” " Crow Imitates Cuckoo Clock. A cuckoo clock has been in the posgession- of George Wreake, of Sibley, Minn., for many years. At the end of each hour a little cuckoo used to come out and anncuncé the various - hours. This proceeding amused a crow, which for the past four years has been a pet in the household. About two years ago the clock met with an accident, which put the cuckoo out of business, although the other machinery of the cloek operates as before.
