Jenny and Her (loot.
Little Jeuny is five years old. She
has a little goat five months old. It
follows Jenny like a playful little dog.
It nibbles bread nnd green lettuces out
of her band. Sometimes, in play, it
butts it* little head against Jenny.
And then Jenny pretend* to tumble
down. Bnt It is all fun. The little
goat would not hurt her little mis-
tntss. And Jenny would not hurt her
litfte goat
“Kiddy, Kiddy,” says Jenny. "Ma
e-a!” say* the little goat. Then Kiddy
pretends to be cross, and to butt Jenny.
And Jenny pretends to tumble down,
and to he very ajigry.
So then there is a great fuss. But It
Is all only play, you know.-Cassell’s
Little Folks
IMnytfm* In Italy.
In Italy they have very few games,
but the little Italian boys and girls ex¬
cel you In one pastime— that Is model¬
ing. A little Italian boy will pick up n
clump of day In the street and mold
you a horse, or dog, or cbw In no time,
and a more experienced boy will at
yoifr request, speedily produce the little
bliuha (baby) stretching out her hands,
or the herd boy blowing his horn—In
fact, almost anything you like to usk
him for.
The favorite game—both amongst
boy* nnd men—seem to be one called
“Flashing Fingers.’ Two men or hoys
pluee themselves opposite each other,
nnd at the same Instant each throws
out his right hand, with so many fin¬
gers open, or so many shut or bent up¬
on the palm, and each of the players,
also nt the same Instant, cries out the
number made by adding the number of
his adversary’s open fingers to his own.
If both orv right, of course the throw
counts for nothing.
As a boy gains a point by hitting the
right number, he marks It with a fin¬
ger of his left hand, which hand is kept
motionless. Five points make the
game, and when the thumb and four
fingers of the left hand are extended,
then the lucky owner of that hand cuts
& eaiH>r, nnd cries, "Done—l have con¬
quered !"
The Italian people say that the very
best actors of Italy come from Naples,
nnd the reason they give Is that the
people nil speak in pantomime, even
the children being too lazy to talk, so
they make signs to each other Instead.
How fk Horm* Kills n Snake.
Few of us have ever seen a horse
kill a snake, but Mrs. Custer describes
the performance In her story of "The
Kid" In St. Nicholas:
As they were pushing out of n jungle
on foot one day, the colonel said:
“Samunthy Is a little tt>o attentive, AH’:
ho shoves himself alongside of me, and
when I remonstrate he hacks a little,
but keeps so close be almost treads on
m.v heels."
“Well, father. I suppose he thinks
nothing can go on without him. lie's
been In everything I ever (ltd yet."
As they i aim* to a narrow defile, with
the brunches of the trees festooned
with moss and the ground tangled
with vines ami thick underbrush, Sniu-
anthy forgot Ids manners and crowd¬
ed to the front There was hardly
room for two abreast. The colonel,
peering into the thicket for birds.
heard tvlmt he took to he the whirr of
pheasant's wings, and he lifted Ills gun
to take aim. The Kid. pressing on,
saw with his keen eyes that it was
nothing so harmless ns the rising of a
covey of birds. A huge rattlesnake,
overlooked l>y the colonel In Ills in¬
tense concentration on the thicket, lay
coiled directly in front of him, the vi-
dous mouth hissing, the eyes gleaming
with not lire, fire. for Alt his was father in agony. the He ooutj^ pony
or
would have received the shot, as they
were placed.
But a more vigilant pair of eyes than
even the Kid’s had discovered the rep
tile, and with a spring In front of th.*
colonel, and with the nicest exactitude,
down came the pony with a buck
jump, his hoofs close together ou tli
head of the snake, crushing In tin
deadly fangs, and flattening the skull
into the soft soil!
-Still there was an ominous rattle of
the tail, and the little nag gathered
himself again, lowed his supple back,
nnd drove Ills hoofs into the mottled
skin of the deadly foe of mankind.
The Itobln’, l.titirli Parly.
Mr. Robin Redbreast was up
that morning. "It’s gdug to h' a b |» aii
tiful day." he thought. “I believe I’ll
give my lunch party. Ever since the
Oriole came. I’ve meant to; nnd here
week* and weeks have fled. The
summer'll lx* gone before I know It.**
So lie hopped about ixul flow about to
invite hi* guest*. Kind, he must se¬
en re tin- one In whose honor the luuA
was to be.
•‘Mr. Baltimore Oriole," he began,—
mid the oriole, who prided himself on
wonting the colors of nobility, twisted
his neck aud preened hts yellow feath¬
ers,—‘it would give me pleasure to
have you lunch with me this afternoon
at two. I will Invite a couple of select
friends to meet you,—Miss Humming¬
bird and Mr. Sparrow,—Just a cosey
party of four."
The oriole rather demurred at the
sparrow. "I didn’t suppose that fam¬
ily was very select,” he said.
“Why, they're English,” the robin re¬
plied anxiously.
“Yes: they're English, hut decidedly
mlddleadaa*. However, we can't keep
up all tilt- distinctions In this country,”
he Hitched. "May I ask who Is your
caterer?”
Itobln Itedbrenst was much In a flut¬
ter by this time with all these high¬
bred airs, aud he only caught ut the
first let tens of this strange word.
“There won't lx* any cat there: at least,
I ho'ge not!” His voice was shrill with
four.
"I said ‘ca ter er.’ ” the oriole cor¬
rected In his lofty manner. “Perhaps
you don’t have such persons here; but
they are the ones who provide swell
lunches, set the tables, take ull the
trouble off you.”
“Oh!” Mr. Itobln exclaimed, over¬
joyed to find himself In the fashion.
"Indeed, I have a ‘ca-ter-er,’ as you call
IL She's the dearest little girl In the
world; and In her home they cull her
Beasle, though sometimes I've heard
another name that sounded like* Dar¬
ing.”
The oriole was mollified by this, and
accepted tho Invitation with a really
winning grace.
"I've forgotten to tell you where the
lunch will be served, said Robin. “Do
you see the house oil the hill? Our
table w ill he that broad window-ledge
where the window Is opened and lace
curtain is swinging behind.”
Then he flew off to find the hum¬
ming-bird. She said: “I ll be only too
pleased to come; but you won’t mind
If I’m a little restless, and flutter about
between the courses? As a family,
we’re rather nervous, you know.”
Mr. Robin politely protested that her
nervousness wouldn't upset them iu
the least if they might only have her
beautiful presence.
The sparrow was simply delighted
to lie asked In such flue company. IIo
was used to being snubbed- Really,
the rotrin had made the sparrow’s ac¬
quaintance on this same window-ledge,
and thought him not such a bad fel¬
low after all. Bessie, the Darling, had
scattered crumbs for the evil and the
good alike.
Mr. Robin was promptly nt hand to
receive his guests, and very proud of
Ihe lunch, as Indeed, he had good
I reason to be. There was bread but-
tend, a bit of meat, cake,—two kinds,
—a raisin, a half-dozen fresh raspber¬
ries. and some sweft liquid that had
j been ice-cream.
“Quite foreign dishes,” the guest of
honor condescended to say, "and a
pleasing change from our own cuisine.”
lie bowed to Miss Ilimiuiing-biul.
"Your health, madam.” And together
they put their hilts into the cream.
The sparrow had hard work not to
be greedy among so many good things,
hut by great self-control ho did no dis¬
credit to Ills host.
When scarce a crumb was left for
politeness, there was n movement at
window curtain. Miss Humming-bird
whizzed to a tree near by, and the
oriole was visibly disturbed.
"Don’t be alarmed,” said the robin,
joyously. “It Is only my ca-ter-er, and
she wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
Sure enough, the curtain parted, aud
a dear little girl smiled through the
opening. Then she gently laid four
lumps of white sugar on the birds’
table.
Miss Humming-bird was hack to her
place in a flash; and they nil said, “She
is a darling, Indeed!”
"Your lunch has been a decided suc¬
cess," Mr. Baltimore Oriole declared,
as they took leave, which made Mr.
Rcblu Redbreast very happy.
But nobody was happier than the
ca-ter-er.—Helen A. Ilawley, in New
York Evangelist.

In decorating a room. If the furni¬

To Can Vegetables.
A housekeeper who Is famous for her
canned vegetables, which she puts up
herself and which far excel in flavor
those sold In the grocery stores, gives
tlve following directions: For corn,
cut the kernels from the cobs and pack
them In a glass Jar that has been thor¬
oughly cleansed and scalded. Put on
flic rubber, lay the cover of the Jar on
loosely, without screwing It, and stand
It i:i a kettle of cold water that cornea
two-thirds of the way to the top.
Cover the kettle and IkiII steadily for
four hours. Remove from the boiling
water and screw the cover on at once
without removing it. Peas cannot be
packed tightly without breaking them,
and consequently, after all the peas
possible- without breaking them, have
been put Into a Jiu\ cold water should
he added until It bubbles at the top.
String beans con packed In whole
or they can be cut In thin strips the
length of the pods, or in short sections.
They need only two hours of cooking.
In other respects the rule for corn ap¬
plies to all. The vegetables will shrink,
hut ns the hot air which is confined In
the jars Is sterilized that will make no
difference.
To Know Good Meat.
Let us imngine ourselves before a
butcher’s Iflock having on It four pieces
of lx;cf presenting fact's from the
round or sirloin. One Is dull red, the
lean bdng close-grained and the fat
very white; the next Is dark red, the
lean loose-grained aud sinewy and the
fat white and shining; the third is dull
red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy
and the fat yellow; the fourth is bright
cherry-red, the lean smooth and medi¬
um grained, with flecks of white
through It, and the fat creamy—neither
white nor yellow. The first of these Is
cow-beef; the second, bull-beef; the
third, beef from an oluor Ill-conditioned
animal, and the last is ox-beef. Ox-
beof—that from a steer—is the juiciest,
finest flavored, sweetest and most eco¬
nomical to buy of all lna-f. It Is called
“prime” when the lean is very much
mottled with the white fat-flecks, and
when it Is from a heavy, young animal
(about four years old) stall-fed on corn.
Hoof from a young cow that has been
well fed and fattened is next in merit
to ox-beef. Beef from an unmatured
animal Is never satisfactory, being
tough and Juiceless. It may be easily
recognized, as tts color is pale and its
bones small—Ella Morris Kretschmar
in the Woman’s Home Companion.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
The sun has three motions—first, O*
its axis; second, a motion about the
centre of gravity of the whole solar
system (which centre Is always within
in the sun’s volume!; third, a motion
toward the planet Hercules.
A successful operation was recently
performed in St. Luke's hospital. New
Y'ork City. A tumor was removed
from the inside of the sheath of the
spinal cord. It was necessary to cut
into six vertebrae, and the patient was
kept under anesthetics for more than
three hours. He was operated upon
after a number of German specialists
hail pronounced that his ailment was
rheumntlsm.
A manufacturing firm In Hamburg
has recently brought out nulls of vul¬
canite or ebonite for use in electrical
work and in places where Iron nails are
not available. The vulcanite nails are
not attacked by oxidation or chemical
agents, and can be used in the forms
of hooks for hanging electrical con¬
ductors. They are also Intended to be
used In laboratories and In connection
with the manufacture of explosives.
The much-discussed question of the
merits of petroleum and coal as fuel
; for ship-boilers will again lie investi¬
gated In a new tank-ship recently con¬
structed in England for carrying oil.
The vessel is known as the Cardlum,
and has three hollers, two of which
■ are nranged to bum coal, while the
third will use crude petroleum. In this
way the coal and oil can be given a
thorough competitive test, and their
relative efficiency and economy ob¬
served.
The Invention of Bessemer steel
wrought a tremendous industrial revo¬
lution by lending to a substitution of
steel for iron and vastly Increasing the
uses of the latter on account of its
cheapness. But the American Machin¬
ist sees signs that the Bessemer process
is growing less popular than it was,
nnd that steel which made by the
>pen hearth process Is effecting marked
progress In two ways—the facilities for
its production nnd nppreeintion of its
value by consumers.
At last an effective way to dispose of
the western pest the prairie dog. has
been devised. A bulletin issued by the
Nebraska agricultural experiment sta¬
tion tells about It and gives the fatal
prescription, First dlssolv# three
ounces of strychnine and one-half
-pound of potassium cyanide In one
quart of 1 Killing water. Then add two
quarts of mohissqs and one tea spoon¬
ful of oil of anise. Stir. Then pour
the solution over a bushel of wheat,
anil while mixing It together sprinkle
in four pounds of finely ground corn-
meal, which enables the grains of
wheat to carry a larger amount of
poison. It is a tempting dish for the
prairie dog. but one teaspoonful at a
hole ends the career of the whole fam¬
ily, nnd the proportion given above
will destroy a town of 500 acres, the
number of fnmtlies to the acre ranging
from 00 to 150. The bulletin adds the
further information that this year the
poisoning-is lieing done over a large
range of territory, and with gratifying
results, so that It is not improbable in
a short time the last prairie dog will
have disappeared.
Tho Wonders of Icebergs.
All the architecture of the world
is represented in nature’s Iceberg de¬
signs. Sometimes a little berg will
have the appearance of an Arab’s
white tent us it rides on a dosert-look-
ing sea; another, its sharp outlines
softened iu the vaporous atmosphere,
will appear like a domed mosque iu
green marble. A cluster of Chinese
pagodas comes drifting slowly down
the current, followed by a stately
gothic cathedral, early style. Then
comes a colosseum, and beyond a
huge man-of-war floats down the cur¬
rent, its stem submerged, with foam
grandly breaking over it, the stem "0
feet aloft.
For every cubic foot of ice shove
water, there are seven cubic feet be¬
low. When a large berg is seen, it is,
therefore, quiet impossible to realize
its full size; the mind can hardly con¬
ceive that an object that has all the
appearance of actually riding on the
surface should in reality only he’rais¬
ing one-eighth of its hulk above the
water.
Even those who have studied ice¬
bergs at close quarters find It impos¬
sible to conceive their colossal bulk.
A l>erg that stranded in Melville bay,
Tor instance, we’ghed 2,000.000,000 tons!
rt was aground In water half a mile
deep. Another b.-rg was found to
measure two and a half miles in length
and two miles in breath.—Pearson’s

Herman Freight Cars Carry Freight,
In three German cities the street cars
used for the delivery of freight, :
are
despite the grumblings of the people.
The cities of Gera. Frost and Sprem-
berg are not large places, but industri- |
i I ally exceedingly active, especially in
textiles. The power used on the tram-
ways is electric or steam; the goods
are transferred at the station into
j smaller trucks, or the railway cars are
taken over the town lines. At Frost
there are three morning and three af-
ternoon deliveries. At Gera perambu¬
lator cars, with flangeless wheels apart
from guide wheels, have been tried
with indifferent success. All these
plants have been worked with a profit
; for several years.

TREED BY A BLACK BEAR.
An Exciting Adrentnrai Down at lobster
I.»kf.
Black bears are not classed among
tree-climbers, hut one occasionally
runs across a hear which makes a
good bluff at it. And no matter how
j strong usually a “drop.” hand the man holds, he will t0
or at least try -
Jim Collier did In a two-handed ses-
slon down at Lobster Lake the other
day. -
j lln , 8 pnRsin g thp H0n s 0 n at the
Northeast Carry and is at present em-
ployed by the new telephone company,
which proposes to string wires from
Ktneo to Suncook. The other day
Jim W as wandering along the tote-
road south of Lobster Lake, looking
for trees which might make good
telephone poles, when he came fnce
to face with a black bear.
The hear was a large one and evi¬
dently looking for meat. Jim was
not, hut lie nevertheless pulled up his
38.55 and took a snap shot at the
bear. Jim hurried too much and the
bullet, instead of entering the beast,
tore an ugly hole in the shoulder.
It always makes a hear mad to be
shot in the shoulder, and this was
one ns mad as a bear could well bs.
lie didn’t stop at nil, but lit for Jim,
and Jim ingloriously threw down his
rifle nnd took to the nearest tree. It
was a birch and it was slippery, but
Jim made good time and was astride
the first limb just ns the bear reached
the base.
Jim felt secure and commenced to
rail at the hear. But he changed his
tune when the brute reared up on Ills
hind legs, hugged the trunk, and,
amidst a cloud of flying bark, began to
draw away from earth.
Jim was not prepared for this. He
could not believe his eyes. Almost
paralyzed with astonishment, in which
fear had not mingled, he sat there re¬
garding what lie considered an enor¬
mous bluff on the part of tl*> bear,
expecting each moment to see the brute
slide back to the ground.
But the bear went up, not down,
and kept at it. Soon a savage head
with a fringe of teeth nnd two wicked
little eyes were on a level with the
limb on which the telephone man
trembled.
Up, up came the bear and out, out
on the limb went the man.
Jim stood it until his wounded ene¬
my had actually gained the limb and
then he dropped to the ground and ran
for his rifle. When he had cocked the
weapon and faced about for a shot,
the bear was gracefully backing down
the trunk of the birch. Jim took
plenty of time and placed the bullet
where it would do (him) the most
good.
The hide is up at the Winnegarnock
House and the tree still stands by the
shore of Lobster Lake, and one glance
at the trunk will convince the most
skeptical that some sort of critter
has traveled up it.—Bangor Whig and
Courier.
The House of Commons.
“The stranger Entering the House at
3 o’clock would see, (luring the greater
part of the session, a sight the
meaning of which would be quite
obscure to him. The speaker sits in
his chair like a graven image; the
benches are practically deserted; not a
sound disturbs the stillness; you. some¬
how or other, get the impression of a
tomb like silence and suspension of
life. Now and then, it is true, and on
some days of the week, you hear a
member get up and mumble something
to the unlistening and empty benches,
and there is another mumble from one
of the clerics, and another from the
speaker and that is all. What this
means is that some private business—
a small canal bill or some of the other
subjects which by Infinite absurdity
are heaped upon the shoulders of an
overworked and overburdened assem¬
bly—has been thus decided. But very
often there is not even this small modi¬
cum of business to be done, and the
silenoe remains unbroken for the half
hour which elapses between the meet¬
ing .of the House and 3.30 o’clock, the
speaker remaining like a graven im-
ageand the House deserted arid silent.”

can Review.
Europe ancl thi» Arab.
The conquest of Egypt by the Arabs
fills one of the most wonderful chap¬
ters in history. That great and sud¬
den rush of an obscure and numerically
insignificant nation to the eastern and
western boundaries of the Roman em¬
pire and almost to the limits of the
orbls veteribus notus, is the most amaz¬
ing event of the second millennium of
our ora. There seemed no adequate
reason why the flood of conquest
should stop when and where it did.
The zeal for God nnd Ilis prophet was
still hot when the Saracens were
turned back at Tours and though
Europe may justly be proud of her
Charles Martel, we may l>c sure that if
the Arabs had really been minded to
plant a mosque at Paul’s Cross, where
a shivering muezzin should chant the
call to prayer in a London fog, the
army of the Franks^ could not have
stopped them. It was not Tours alone
that saved England from becoming a
province of the caliphate; we must also
thank our enviable climate. The Arab
realized that in the lauds of the Hyper¬
boreans there was no sun worth bask¬
ing in.—Professor Stanley Lane-Poole
