MY BABY.
My baby is siii.; ui a ,ay from mo
Day by day she is going—
A blossom urifol.iii r ho .rby hour,
Out in ti e > .iue gr aving.
A greater drop tn I a wider rifle.
In the fountains forever flowing.
My wee sweet daughter is at my knee,
Fairer. Icvier, may be,—
Her eyes are bright ns the nightly stars
That gleam o'er ‘'Blest Araby.”
Her voice is sweet as the voice of love—
But where is my little baby ?
But four sweet years ago she came,
With the snow in the winter weather,
And wo lay apart from the stormy world,
Just she and I together.
And my heart was tilled with tender dreams
Os hope and loving endeavor.
Ab me, it teems such a little time
She lay upon my breast,
A little tender, helpless thing,
But to be hushed to rest,
And to waken again with little cries,
That made me feci so bless'd.
Ard now as I look on my winsome girl,
With the tangles of sunny hair,'
Waving above those starry eyes.
Andthat brow so tweet arid fair—
My heart will psk.fwixt toy and pain,
Where .'s my baby—where !
And I know that th ■ c sweet ba’ y days
Will shorter and shorter be.
And some day these little restless feet
Will wander away from me.
To seek the wondrous fairy lands,
That youth alone may see.
Oh' Thou whose hand bestowed this gift !
Guide her, I beg in prayer,
Over life's rough and thorny ways—
By the hidden pit and snare.
Bate to the laud by the Jasper sea,
And may I meet her there !
laurel Hill, Miss. Virginia L. Bonsall.
o
In contemplating the creation of the world,
the laws of nature, and the fitness of all things
that pertain to the regulation and control of
the universe, one can but be impressed with
the superiority of a wise Creator, and it would
seem that the most skeptical would acknowl
edge an over-ruling Providence. If we then
admit the infinite wisdom that completes the
universe, can we for a moment doubt the com
pleteness of a human life. There are no in
complete lives. Every life, whether it be
short or long, has its mission, and God does
not take it hence until it is fulfilled. We are
often staggered and our faith grows weak
when we see a mother in her young woman
hood, surrounded by all that makes life beauti
ful, with four or five little ones dependent on
her for counsel and love, suddenly taken away;
we ask why should such a one be taken? while
there may perhaps in the same circle be one
who has almost reached the limit—“three
score and ten,” and yet spared. Could the
veil be lifted we would know the reason, but
that is not intended, and we must submit,
tho’ we cannot with human vision recognize
the fact, yet it is still the same, that mothers’
life is complete and her mission is fulfilled.
And so with young manhood, childhood and
tho baby.from its mother’s breast; it would
seem that to them death was untimely, and
the old should die; not those in the freshness
and brightness of youth,-but their lives are
complete and so we should always believe
and trust God's wisdom, for lie knows, and
we shall, when we “awake in His likeness.”
Beautiful thoughts have been expressed on
this subject by many, but Burdette has ex
celled all others; he says: “I try to measure
the plans of the infinite with my little two
foot rule. I know, as well as I know any
thing, that when God takes a soul away from
this world, in infancy, in childhood, in young
manhood, that life is complete, finished as
though it had rounded out the full orbed
yearsof the patriarch. It, lias done its work, it
has accomplished God's purpose, in one year
cr seventy. The little life, whose evening
time fell at noon-day or in the morning, began
a work that may be carried on for ages, or was
just needed to complete one that was begun—
God Knows—ages ago.” Such thoughts should
carry comfort to all, most especially the old
and weary pilgrims who long for rest, and
feel there is nothing left in life for them to do
—to the “shut in one,” (and oh! how many
there are) languishing on beds of suffering
waiting for the summons “come up higher;”
feeling themselves a burden and anxiously
waiting for the dawn of eternal day! Take
courage 'stiffening friends, your mission is not
yet accomplished, but when it is, this life'so
Wearisome now, will be laid down complete.

AVb Clipped from a Philadelphia paper a
recipe said to have been given bj' Sirs Cleve
land to a Washington church fair, where they
Bold nothing but domestic recipes. It is only
headed “Mrs. Cleveland's Recipe,” and does
not say whether it is intended for a cake or a
pudding; we presume the latter, but we give it
to our readers just as written, and hope some
one will try it and report. We acknowledge
our doubts as to its tooth.- omeness, but will de
fer judgment until heard from. Our presi
dent’s wife may be a charming, agreeable and
beautiful woman, but as to domestic affairs
Bhe may be a novice. Mrs. Cleveland’s Recipe:
One bowl Indian meal, one bowl rye flour,
one bowl sour milk, one large cup molasses,
one tablespoonful soda, one tablosuoonlul salt.
Steam two ami one-half hours and bake from
twenty minutes to one-half hour, depending
upon heat of oven.
Fashion Fancies,
Plaid ribbons are a feature in the fashions of the
hour, And arc abmidamly used on dresses and hats
by the best French modistes.
Niagara blue, butter yellow, and baltique, which
last is merely a new name for nitegreen, are quite
the latest shades in evening dress.
Narrow rft-bott with pic.it edge, “frivulitie” rib
bon the French call it, is all the rage for use on
Areeses, millinery, and even on furniture.
Worth’s latest fancy is that of a costume of Roman
red foulard with drapery of rich black Spanish lacc,
with costly ornaments of cut jet holding the
draperies.
Lace jabots are effectively worn between velvet
nvert* on handsome •lies- • . They arc also liked
along the straight edge of the single revers so much
worn this season.
The artificial fruits that Parthian modistes are
using so plentifully are now ma le in a wonderfully
natural way. Strawberries are as soft *n 1 corn
yressible as the actual fruit, so are the ehenies; the
fruit ami the Cower are often used together.
The special new color for the forthcoming autumn
evening w.li, without doubt, be that tender
tint known “wren’s egg.” and nothing <an well
be better suited i«a back ground for embroidery,
lace, or the l. imnungh of exquisite artificial flowers
and fruit, of the ambitious size, now worn.

The Care of Close's.
From Detroit Tribune.
Closets are not only useful, but a necessary
part Oi a house. Many housekeepers think that
there enn not be too much closet room provided.
*h®f© ! areni :■< things which are properly put into
closet’’, and other things w hich should never go in
to closets. Os such are all soiled undergarments.
Clothing that has been worn should not bo hung
away until properly ventilated. In this way two
fertile sources of bad odors in closets may be ex
cluded. Many hang their night clothes in the
closets during the day. This also should be avoided
unless they have had a thorough airing before be
ing hung. If the closet does not a window,
the door should be left open for a few hours every
day to admit pure air. Some persons have venti
lators placed just over the door, but the outside air,
if admitted for a short time every day, will purify a
closet where only clean c’o'hes are hung. No
matter how clean the clothing in the closet may be,
if there is no ventilation the clothing will not be
what it should.
o
Boiling Coffee.
Mary J. Lincoln, in Good Housekeeping.
Whether coffee shall be boiled or not will
probably be always a question. Many think it has
a raw taste if not boiled; others contend that, in
boiling, much of the aroma is lost. Boiling makes
the mixtures roily, and it must stand long enough
to let the grounds settle and the liquid become
clear. Some albuminous material vvill help to clear
it. Fish skin, isinglass, cold water, and eggs are
used for this purpose. Eggs give it a flavor and
body, and, no doubt, improve an inferior quality of
coffee; bat they increase the cost of the beverage,
as, aside from their own cost, they clog the grounds,
thus making a larger amount of cofl’ee necessary to
obtain the desired strength. But if coffee must be
boiled, let it be boiled in a closely-covered vessel
with a thimble or cork in the spout, as, if left un
covered, the volatile oil, which forms the fragrant
t r ,ma, is dissipated; and it should never boil more
than five minutes, as longer boi’ing extracts the
tannie acid. These is a widely prevalent, but
erroneous, notion that long boiling extracts more of
the strength and color, and is, therefore, more
economical; but strength and color thus gained are
obtained at the expense of flavor and wholesome
ncss.

About Babies.
Ladies’ Home Journal.
Tho baby’s fever and the rash and the
bowel trouble (starting in the brain) will be found
in the n ajortty of cases due to the suffocation or
irritation of the skin by the popular knit wool
skirls; however soft tins 3 may feel to the hand,
every fibre of wool is ret with tiny hooks, which
continually catch and let go of the exquisitely sensi
tive skin of the side and back as the baby breathes.
It reminds me of Edmond About’s talc of the man
who died uqder tho hands of Italian brigands,
merely by, having hairs pulled from bis head one by
one,. his bound. That is just the help

A Couple of Hints.
By Fred Grundy.
Mr. X met Mr. B on the wad in front of my house
a few days ago and aske I him lor some assistance at
threshing.
“When will the machine be there?” inquired B.
“Can’t say exactly,” replied X. “Maybe tomorrow
noon, and maybe not until some time next day;
depends bn how they get along. But when you hear
a long toot followed by three short ones, and thou
another lung one, it will mean that the machine
has arrived at my house and you can come on.”
“All right,” said B, laughing, “I’ll bo on band like
a sore thumb.”
That was a new idea to me, and I think a good
one. To have a preconcerted signal for calling the
helpers at threshing together saves a" good deal of
hard riding,-valuable time and worry. The men
can hold themselves in readiness’, to appear when
ever they hear the signal.
At < lay light the next morning the engine went
puffing by, drawing the separator straw-stacker and
tank, end soon after I heard the signal ring out on
the still morning air. All the h* l>>ers were there on
time, and the day’s work commenced without any
apparent hiss or hurry. That was in the yard. In
the Louse there was turmoil. The early and unex
pected arrival of the threshers had created some
confusion in the domestic machine, and things were
not moving as smoothly as they might; and for good
reason. Mrs. X had only a little girl to help her,
and consequently she had to, us she said, “just fly
around!”
About 10 o’clock I saw her with the girl and a dog
chacing chickens. The thermometer'stood at 93
degrees in the shade, and it was something more in
the sun, so I called to her to stop. She was both
hot and mad, and her f< cwas red as fire, but she
halted a moment to see what I wanted.
“You’ll kill yourself running about a hot day like
this,’’ said I.
“Well,” she replied, “I can’t help it I I’ve got to
have some chickens for dinner. The threshers
came so early that X didn't have time to catch
them for me.”
“Hold on a mow&ht/’ *aid J, “let’s try my plan.’’
I went into the &lrn, wheixj I had noticed a roll of
heavy wfre, and ciifoffn pie e about five feet long,
and with the quickly bent one end of it into
acrouk l:k£' tiiH’P ■
——
I gave tho other end a twist, and I was ready.
“Wheregire the chickens?’ I asked.
“Under the corn crib,” said the little girl.
I got down on my knees, and, catching tnc leg of
one of them in the crook, quietly and quickly drew
it out and grasped it firmly to keep it from flutter
ing or squawking. Moving on a little further I
drew out another, and then a third.
“That’s enough,” said the delighted woman.
“Would you mind letting me have that crook?”
“No,” said I. “It belongs to you anyway.”
This crook is an implement I could hardly get
along without. When I wish to capture a fowl I
take my crook and a sack, throw down a small
quantity of feed, and while they are scrambling
over it I quietly pull in and sack the one I want.
The thing is done before the flock realize that I
have m .de a motion, and the bird is so astonished
that it rarely utters a sound.
For culling out or separating a flock of poultry it
is almost indispensable. Get the flock in a small
yard or she 1, and instead of plunging and driving
among them and frightening them into fits, move
quietly about and calmly Look out those you want.
My crook is five and one half feet long and made of
wire nearly one-fourth of un inch thick.
Correspondence.'
Josie Morgan, Tuskegee, Ala.- I have long been a
silent admirer of Woman s Kingdom, Lave tried
some of the receipts and find them excellent. I
come seeking information of lost relatives. Six
years ago I had an aunt, Mrs. Mary J. Roney,
living in Atlanta with her daughter, Mrs. Terrell
Hyde. My aunt has since married. I heard of it in
an indirect way; Ido not know her last name. I
am very a ixious to hear from her or some of her
children, if this should meet her eyes. I hope she
will immediately r< p’y to a loving niece, if you
will insert this in Woman’s Kingdom you will con
fer a favor upon a lover of the Kingdom.
Annie Sherloek, Bay City, Fla.-Though we have
taken The Constitution only u few weeks, 1 long
for the day we receive it and immediately turn to
W m ui’s Kingdom; I have derived so much benefit
from its columns that I take the liberty to enclose
a few recipesand some cypress vine seed, which I
think is so beautiful. If Mrs. L. Howard will try
clcming her while k;d gloves with white ca tile
soapaud milk, she will tie pleased with the result.

little b< ok into which I paste all the nice recipes
c< n'ributed by the ladies, and ere long I will have a
neat little cook l>ook. In return for. the many use
ful hints r ceived, I will tell the ladies how to save
all kinds of beans or peas: Dip them in hot water,
removing them instantly; this will certainly keep
out weevil, and ihe scalding not prevent them
from coming up when planted.
“Quiz,” Lognnsvillc, Ga.—l have had some
questions to ask the kind editress, or any of the
sisters that will answer them for sometime, but
could not sum up courage to expose my ignorance
until tonight. First; lam very anxious for a recipe
to make jelly by using jelatine. Second, a recipe
for making wafers. Third, how often and at what
season oi the year do canaries lay? I can’t close
without thanking the kind editor for the space he
has allowed us in his valuable paper. I know he
could have done nothing that would have been
more appreciated by us, or been more beneficial to
us.
Mrs. D. T., Bradford county, Fla.—l have heard
that cedar boughs or green tansy placed in their
paths would drive away red ants. Weakened
amonia is good for the scalp and destroys dandruff.
The oil from mackerel will prevent hair from falling
out. Ido not think a \vOman should dress as richly
as she can afford. Rich dressing is keeping many
who cannot afford it from public worship and other
enjoyments. If my clotb.es are neat and wellfitting
and suited to the season, I am satisfied as to dross. I
would like to exchange wild lily bulbs for October,
peach seed or pecan scions. We have a fine orange
crop and a fig tree still heavily laden with fgs. I
would exchange fig cuttings for pecan scion-. A
spoonful of gun powder given twice a week to
animals will keep oil ticks. Tobacco placed in
every nest will keep mites from troubling chickens.
Mrs. D. A. Boardman, Pearlington, Miss.—Tn an
old number of Tur. Constitution I noticed a letter
from S. D., in regard to a home; now I have a
pleasant home, I will gladly share with any pleasant
person who will come and assist me in my duties. I
have two children, and my husband being a nay
most of the time, I would be so very glau if some
one would come to me, for I am afraid to remain
alone. lam compelled to do my own work, as
servants hero are so scarce. Would like also to take
some homeless little chil I about five yearn old, to
raise as my own, as playmate for my little three
year-old child. Any one wishing to communicate
with me, can address me either at this plape or at
Jay St. Louis, Miss. Will take them as one of the
family, making their home pleasant as long as they
may wish to remain, or will pay a small salary.
M. A. Frank'dj, Upson county, Ga.—l have fora
long tline been anxious to join your happy columns,
; .hoping that I might boos some help in assisting
some young mother in training her little ones, as I
think, tiny need help and I do sympathize with
then*} I have five dear little children and I have
■ sixteen years exi>eriunce, and the greatest training
there is; is for all mothers to set a good example;
that isr; i mean, live a devoted life towards her
children; meet them with a kiss, and always tell
them how they must do and keep them in Sunday
school; w hen they arc at home give them encourage
ment so they will enjoy every day. 1 h ive heard so
many mothcis say, “Oh! the responsibility is so
great I don’t feel that I am capable.” If you will
d > your best every day you will have a light heart.
1 bad a dear sweet little girl, she v. as not five years
old; she has gone to heaven. She went to Sunday
school and learned many nice little songs, and one
was, “Around the Throne in Glory Little Children
Sing.” Oh, what con.fjit to me to think of this
beautiful song.
M. E. P., Lovelady, Texas.—T, like many others,
derive pleasure from Woman’s Kingdom. How
heartily I sympathize with lhesa in trouble, for I
have found life’s pathway is not all roses. Sorrow’
comes and overthrows our fairest hopes, scatters our
dearest idols, and us souls arc tossed on the tempest
of sorrow’. Yet to the trusting heart there is comfort
in the blessed promise, “Be th on faithful unto <’e»»h
aud I will give thee a mown of life.” Through this
department, I too will solicit help. lam desirous
to obtain a position as companion for elderly or in
valid lady (willing to assist in light housework) or
governess for small children. Aiy lady near
Houston county, Texas, desiring such service, 1
would bo pleased to engage with her; will exchange
references. My address is with the editress.
“Daisy,” Scale, Ala.—ln The Constitution of
Septcmb r 13th, B. W., asks, if any reader of
Woman’s Kingdom can inform her of the reliability
of the Crescnt Art Co., Boston, Muss. I can, by my
own experience in dealing with this company 1
know’it to be a swindling concern—utterly unre
rcliable. I saw the advertisement in the Southern
Culthator, and was tempted after hesitating or de
bating iu my own mind the wisdom of answering it.
I finally, in a moment of folly, did open a con 63-
pondeiK c. Well, it is not necessary to give the de
tails of the transaction, but the result w as, a dollar
.lost, and 1 lost it. When 1 i< a'ized tl a- I had real
ly been s>> basely swindled my indignation led me
t-o make the matter public; then I learned, to my
surprise, that many others had been deceived in the
fcatnc way, and had lo*t more than I. Yes, indeed,
the editress of Woman’s Kingdom is right; southern
folks had best let tho Crescent Art Co., and allothJrs
like it alone. There are various other so-called or
ganizations advertising under different names, but
in my opinion there is in reality only one—in
Boston; so w’c may well distrust each and every one
of them. 1 find entertainment and instruction In
the Woman's Kingdom, and if this communha
tion shall be the means of preventing any reader ot
the same from being taken in by any one of these
deceptive ads, 111 be very glad.
Mrs. H. C. Barbee, Delaplano, Fauquier county,
Ya.—l come again wishing to acknowledge thanks
for so much useful imformation and genuine
pleasure derived fio n Woman’s Kingdom, which is
invaluable. Theie have been some questions asked
by the sisters, which Ixicomes my duty to answer,
end in doing so, I experience much pleasure. If
Miss J.aura Fairchild will use cold water freely, she
will find it an excellent remedy for poison from
poison vine. On the first appeal an c of the poison
on the skin, no matter on w hat part of the body,
l>our cold water <»n it until thoroughly drilled. On
reappearance of the redness with itching, pour on as
fully as at first, and repeat, if necessary, several
times. If the face is poisoned, lie down and shut
the eyes, letting another do tho pouring. Many
young ladies, on their return from the country, will
be glad to know that one ounce of lemon juice
mixed with a quarter of a drachm pulverized borax
and a half drachm of sugar will remove freckles.
Mrs. V. M.,St. Helena, La., desired a receipt for
making crab apple jelly. Boil the apples with just
water enough to cover them until tender; mash with
a spoon and strain out the juice; take a pint of juice
to a pint of sugar; boil thirty mim es and strain
through a solve. I would !>e glad to exchange
poetry for samples of crocheting w ith Effie B. John
ston and can t-ll her of something to relieve a
“quick tooth;” also something for neuralgia in face.
I have a good assortment of poetry and prose and
will exchange with any one lor samples of lace. If
the sisters who wrote In regard to magazines will
please inform me whet l e or not they subscribed
I shall b; very thankful. Hope to hear soon from
Mrs. J. C. K., Coosa, Ga., and from Miss F. B. M.,
Quitman, Ga. I send some excellent recipes, and
would like them published if acceptable to the kind
editress.
atherine,” Altus Ark.—ls such a letter will net
be a ciislurbiug element in Woman s Kingdom I
would like to expres* a few thoughts that are dis
turbing me greatly this morning. 1 think It would
be well for every woman to have a copy of the mar
ri.ige ceremony at hand for reference; we are so apt
to forget, in our vanity and self-iovc, when wounded,
vexed or shocked by some fnulty in the husband
who has promised to love and chcri.-h, that we too
have vowed to love, L- u>r and obey, it hurts
Bomkive natures so much to be longhly treated by
their loved on s that their belief In all things true
and good is shaken to the foundation and their very
swil endangered, when if they could jua read this
obligation every time and reflect on their own
faults, forbearance would be easier; temptation to
uglineos be resisted tetter, and domestic coldness
less frequent. J, foM>ne, > m indy thankful for the
g’Axl opinion we women bold in the minds of good

we take a narrow gauge road for Tampa. We pass
one of the most beautiful plat c in Fieri ia on this
route, and that is Lake Weir. On the left of the

this arc a number ofbeautiftil residencesand grounds

small steamer to meet the steamship that goes to
Cuba and stops at Key West, Now they have two
beautiful ones, with everything to make you com
fortable. It is about 210 miles from Tanq ato Key
West and the trip is made in about eighteen hours.
If there is no storm the trip is a delightful one—the
deep green water just rippling undur the soft breeze.
Sometimes you see hundreds of flying fish, as they
jump out of the water and fly for some distance to
get out of the way of some big fish trying to catch
them which is probably a porpoise. Wc enter the
harbor of Ke v West, or Cftgn Hutsko, as It is
by Spaniards, l>y the nortliwest pasture, if thb
weather is good, but if it is stormy we musl go
around the island mid come into tho harbor by the
souths Localise it is deci’crand-there an* not
so nuty'y gaps. As we appro:*<*h‘ the
islaii<l ( we*qlltu S’Cp wbilisb looking spots in,the
water; they arc whore the coral reefs come up mar
the surface, and if the wind is blowing much the
entire water looks whitish. This is owing to tho
fact that all these islands arc made of coral, and the
waves have beaten a great deal of it off in fine dust,
and when the waves arc running high they wash
the whitish powder fr< m (he bottom to the surface
of the water. This is’and is only one of tl.o isunds
of c< ral islands; It is not the largest, Cayo Longa, or
Long Key being larger, but it is best known because
it is in the way of trade. Coral is a sort of limestone
rock made by numberless minerals of coral insects,
and the streets of the city of Key West are hard and
never get muddy. It is only about six feet above
gulf, and in big storms tho water will dash high
over the wharves and sometimes come up into the
city, but there is no danj o.- of its being washed
away, as it is on a rock. Did yon ever see a town
where the houses had no chimneys? There arc but
two houses there that have thorn; of course the
kitchens have them, but those arc all. It is within
t<n mllcsofthe tropics and is warm all the winter
In November it is very common to sec men tn linen
suits; but you do not suffer much fr »m the heat in
summer, as there is a hard breeze blowing all the
time. Wc see i.o such trees as almost any where
else; all of them arc tropical. The cocanut grows
beautiful, andon each tree you can s*e the flowers
nuts not larger than a marble, the size of an orange
up to the full size. The date palm grows there and
the almond, but do not often bring their fruit to
perfection. You will find around some of the
houses many very beautiful bushes and flowt rs,
which grow luxuriantly. The financial business of
the place is to manufacture cigars, which are sent
all over the country. This is not a pretty place;
most of the houses are poor. The|barrftcks grounds
are beautiful, but the only soldier there is a sergeant
to keep the grounds in good condition. There are
several forts araund the island; some of them built
during the wars perhaps for fearthe southern people
would try to take the island, but we did not want
it; we bad more than we knew what to do with any
how. VeTy ihany of the huger keys arritni’d
have bee'll settled and cocoanut and banana jjhf y r s
planted ' I lurpe they will g-4 very cheap afjer p
while. One bay on the southwest const of Florida
has >-o that they are call'll “J'Uj
tbousohtf lands'.” The gulf is n i a<f phu u

OiH eln coining back, before 1 went to deep, the

I was almost thrown out of my berth; 1 did not

tried to walk I staggered like a drunken mini, and
when I looked out of the window the wind was
blowing ft terrible storm and the waves as big as the
steamer kept chasing us as if trying to catch U 3. In
the morning, I am sine you would have laughed to
have seen us trying to drink coflee. The b< a’ was
rolling, and you could not sit down or stand up. A
young man thought he could sit down by the table
and drink his coffee, but In about n second nis
coffee was all over the table and ho uas picking
himself up. I rnu»t say I was ghul when 1 saw
JCgmont light, which is at the entrance of the Bay of

1 live in southw't Texas seventy miles west of
San Antonio. The Anausas Pass railroad (our first

mountainous, intersected by the Guadalupe river
and its valleys. Stock ralaing and fanning are tho
principal industries. This is a fine health resort
and much esteemed by those having pulmonary
complaints. I would like to exchange cactus,
ferns or Indian plume seed for geraniums, roses or
jessamine. I should be very glad to correspond

Jennie Carter, Miteheli J’. Q., Ontario. Canada—l
bavo always been desirous of learning something of
the outturns and habits of my southern friends. I
live in the beautiful town of Mitchell, situated on
the river TbamcH, about forty miles from the «*ity of
Loudon. Os course our climate is much colder than
with you. It is now the Bth of September and scam
the beautiful green foliage will be turned to autumn
leaves; and then our winters are so pleasant; for
amusement we have skating, toboganiug, sleigh
riding, etc.; this is what our country 1h accustomed
to, consequently wc are contented. I should like
very much to have some correspondents in tiic
south that could make a correspondent interestin'

Birdie, Belle Plain, lowa--Have you ever thought
cousins, what a good and noble woman Queen Vic
toria is? And bow much she has done for tlie
world? How many slaves she s t free?
The pictures of those simple, but odd toys remind
ed me of tin: noble queen.
We seldom sw. such toys us those, do wc cotisins?
The art of the toys is curious. Wh< n I see some
thing new to me, I am always curious about how it
was made.
Do you know how the toys were made, Aunt Su
sie?
Foreign ways are very different from ours and we
do not comprehend the reason. We have very little
knowledge of their ways In g< neral, from cominerco
down to dress. I have read several books entitled
“Chatterbox,” and I find them splendid for obtain
ing foreign history. Tl 6re is another way to learn,
cousins, if we but think. Let us listen to our pa
rents when talking to their friends and never speak
unless v.e ar - asked a question and we will learn a
great deal, besides showing a good ciniiack r, wb.q i
I hope y<m ail have. Mother bos told mu ml these
things u* many a wither tells her child. When J

so glad that I run ever with Mama’s paper to see
