An Inquisitive Youngster's Search for
Knowledge.
Virgil Markliam, the little son of
tho poet, has a thirst for informa
tion, arid from morning till night
the aska questiffhs. Recently, having
exhausted the patience of his gen
tle mother, she'said: “Virgil, you
really niust not ask me another
question today. I’m very tired, and
you bother me.”
The boy was somewhat surprised
dt.this rebuff, but he speedily rose
to the occasion and inquired, “When
I go; to heaven, shall I bother the
angels ?”
, “I hope not,” answered Mrs.
Markham.
"Or God?”
"No.”
“Well,” said Virgil cheerfully,
"if J won’t bother any one up there
I guess heaven’s the place for me,
ana it’s about time 1 started.”—

ing pets is very much appreciated ; used, and the towels, after being
by sailors, who lavish their spare i overhanded together with yellow
time and some of their spare cash
on strange animals. The British
war ship Centurion once had a
monkey that used to eat with a
spoon front a plate and drink from
a glass with a dinner napkin tucked
unde# his chin. Cats and dogs, of
course, are common on board ship.
The French war ship Marten u had
a bantam .cock named Boulanger as
a pet, which crowed whenever the
gune were fired. The German l’rinz
Wilhelm had a gray stork, and the
Chicago of the American navy had
a pig. Doves, pigeons, blackbirds
and peacocks arc popular with Ital
ian seamen, and the unfortunate
Almirante Oquendo of Spain hud a
pair of cassowaries as pets.
Tho AnUrctlo Winter.
A sailor on the antarctic ship
Discovery, whose commander, Cap
tain Seott, has approached nearer
the south polo than any other ex
plorer, writes as follows of his win
ter experiences: “We had 123 days
without the sun and 104 days of
total darkness. We went through it
all gay. Lowest temperature regis
tered 58 degrees below zero. You
do not feel the cold very much
without the wind. Then, with the
wind, look out! First your nose,
then ears, then lingers go. We nev
er go out alone on account of the
heavy blizzards. Your, companion
will turn round and say, ‘Your nose
is gone.’ It turns as white ns this
paper. You turn away from the
wind nnd pull your rriittens off to
bring your nose around. By that
time your fingers are gone. So it’s
no pleasure to go out in a slight
bTeezc. The blizzards are fearful.
Mr. Bernacchi nnd the . engineer
went' to a hut fifty yards away and,
though roped from hut to ship, were
lost in a blizzard for two hours and
three-quarters.”
A Swift Stamp.
“Can I get a swift stamp from
you ?” was the curious question put
to a clerk in one of the uptown ho
tels by n guest whose dress, accent
and general appearance proclaimed
him an Englishman. “Certainly,
cotton upon the wrong side, were
slipped over the cushion and the
fringed ends run by hand close to
each end of the cushion, so it could
easily be-removed for washing.
A pretty cover for a center tabli
can be made of a yard of dull,
heavy raiv sijk tapestry, the edge
finished with tassel fringe to match
the tapestry. ., *
Any cane scat chair with a pretty
back can be decorated so it will be
nice enough for the reception room.
Fad the scat with cotton covered
with denim, cover the denim with
silk tapestry, concealing the tacks
with upholsterer’s braid. Make a
rectangular cushion of plush in the
same color, line with ennton flannel,
wad with cotton and tie at the back
with cotton cord. Nail to the back
with brass tacks having heads as
large as a copper cent. At each up
per corner of the pad place a bow
of heavy silk cord ana one long,
heavy tassel.—Lucy B. Haven-John
son in Housekeeper.
Hollandalse Sauce.
Wash half a cup of butter in ice
water, divide into three equal parte,
place one part in a saucepan with
the yolks of two eggs and half a
tcaspoonful of vinegar or lemon
juice; plnce tho saucepan in a lar
ger one containing hot water and
stir continually with a wire egg
whip until the butter is melted;
then add the second part of the but
ter and as it thickens drop iff* the
third part, stirring all the time;
add one-third of a cupful of hot
cream or water slowly; continue
stirring; cook one minute; add sea
soning. Do not allow the water in
the saucepan to boil, as this is lia
ble to separate the sauce. This is
one of the most delicious sauces and
vet the most difficult to, prepare
because of the danger ofovercook-
ing. It should bo the consistency
of rich crcum.

The inconvenience of the similar
ity between a gentleman’s evening
dress and the attire of n waiter has
received yet another instance. Mr.
Chouto, the American ambassador,
was the victim on this qccasion. At
the state banquet to the’ king at tho
Guildhall the American ambassador
poured into tho bottom

shaken well up on the sides, will
