Phebe's Mud.Pies.

One bright spring day, Cousin Ruth
who was staying at the parsonage with
Phebe's mamma, was wondering where
Phebe was, for the little girl had Ions
been out of sight. Presently, looking GU
at the window, she saw the little maid ou
by the pump, making mud pies. Now
Ruth knew that nothing pleased Phebt
better than to receive calls, as mamma
did; so she put on her hat and went out
to see her pet.
Phebe was so busy stirring up he1
dough that [ do not think she saw Cousin
Ruth till she knocked on the fence post,
try ing to appear as visitor-like as pos
sible
Dear mel" exclaim ed Phebe, as she
played open the door, II am all in the
dough, SO you'll please excuse my shak-
ing hands," and she held up her little fat
hands, all covered with mud up to the
wrists.
Certainly" replied Ruth, "and you
must not let me hinder you from your
work, as | see you are very busy"
Eyes. [ have such q deal of work to
do" said Phebe, smiling, despite her as
sumed gravity. You see," continued
she, chat the dollies are going to have a
large party tomorrow, and | am making
things for them. They must have pies,
and cakes, and bixits, and tarts, and nice
cream, and ever so many other things for a
party, you know
'Of course they must" said Ruth shut
you are getting very tired, working so
hard, are you nOt?'
At this Phebe gave little ringing
laugh, and said she did not mind that
much, for it would please the children-a
sentence which / think she heard her
mamma use some time. There" said
she, proudly, pointing to some small fig
boxes filled with rather dark looking
dough, there is my fruit cake, and there
are the patty-pans in the scalloped tins;
and here are two, six, ten pies" she CON
tlnued, looking at several pieces of brok-
en- plates, covered with the same dark
looking dough.
Why, couldn't your little girls have
helped you someS" sympathizingly asked
Cousin Ruth
''Oh dear!" replied Phebe, 'they are
such bother, if they try to do anything,
that sent them all to the woods for flowers

sure to get their clothes all -four, anf they
do eat the sugar, and the raisins, drefiul-

Here little smile came out of the cor

all over her pleasant face, as she said, de-
murely:

Il believe | see her this very minute,

you are my visitor" said Phebe, drawing
herself up with dignity. "And now /

LITTLE MAMMA.

By ROSA GRAHAM.
With such a sober face
Pretty little Mamma Grace
Came TO meet me al the gate. yester-morn
That felt inclined TO CRY
As asked the reason WHY
Ny darling looked so anxious and forlorn
Half between a sob and sigh
Grace managed to reply:

And Bertie'th thick in bed
An don't know what to do with Jennie We're.

For the fell dom know how
And mathed herthelf all open in the kneeth;
Eth done the betht tould,
But it don't do any doed-
Oh! tome up quick TO thee her, Mantle, pleathe.''
And with such sober face
Pretty little Mamma Grace
Softly led me where her suffering darlings lay:
Lily with her broken head,
Baby Berthe sick in bed,
And Jennie Nere-her wounds tied up with nay
Mamma Oracle stopped and sighed:

Don't ou think 'ou tan aCsU EN- if on trieth?"
And she watched me with d smile
Growing brighter all the while
AS Ipursed my lips and tried to look so ''withe."
Then with putty and with thread
mended Lllys head,
And sewed up Jennie We're in the ''kneeth;m
To Berries aching chest
Some Dally's ointment pressed,
Saying, Now I'll take my fee, if 'ou pleathe."
And with sunny. beaming face
Pretty little Mamma Grace
Her soft arms around me tightly curled,
And whispered DER and DER,
Every time with one kiss more,
so, 'ou ith the bethtetht Mantle in the worldr'

Easy Spelling Lessen for Big Folk.

L heard some fun the other day. Half q
dozen youngsters were down our meadow
with couple of teachers digging for sas
satras roots. After while they sat down
close by me to rest, and one of the bows.
as mischievOus little chap as You'll see
IN a month of Sundays, took a bit of paper
out OF his pocket and says to the teachers:
would you mind saying an easy spellin'
lesson to us children, sirs?" Certainly
not" said the teachers, looking very much
astOnished.
3y the way, l ought to tell you that the
teachers, just before, had been asking
some school questions of the children.
and looking very solemn and disappointed
because the poor little things couldn't
answer them.
Its a 0ery easy lesson, sirs," said Hal,
the mischievous yOungster; "none of 'em
over four letters, and my papa saws THEY'RE
all good words out of Webster's big die
tiOnary, not absolute either"
"O6SoEete, Hail." corrected the teacher, in
a bland but awful voice.
"Obsolete, sir" said Hal, meeklv: so he
opened out the bit of paper and began to
'hear the teachers" with the other five
children all looking over his shoulder.
Spell and define, 9th"
"Gi-th, gith," said the teachers, but
they couldn't give any definition.

"G-o-u-t," said the teachers
Wrong" says Hal; "it's G-o-s9-t." But
he teachers didn't know Of any such
word
Well, Hal kept on the list, and only two
words in the whole lot could those teach
ers answer! They laughed in spite Of
themselves, and it seemed as if the children
would have fits. AS for me, shook so
that frightened off three butterflies who
were going to alight on my shoulder.

Heroic Women.

THE London Times mentions that two
remarkable cases of courage and pres
ence of mind on the part of girls have re-
Gently been brought before the Royal
Humane Society. The first case was that
of Miss Olivia Georgiana E. Maude. She
saved the life of a girl named Adele
Greaven, who sank while bathing while
at Sea Point MOnktowns, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Miss Maude and
her sister, who had themselves been bath
ing, were dressed and sitting on the rocks
watching the other bathers, when their
attention was aroused by an alarming out
cry-a girl had disappeared in deep
water. No assistance was at hand, no
boat or ropes, and even the usual attend
ants were absent or otherwise engaged.
The child soon rose to the surface, but,
unable to swim, sank again.
She rose a second time, and the by
ISLANDERS and bathing women, thoroughly
alarmed and crying for assistance, were
shocked at perceiving that the child's
bathing dress had got over her face and
head, and that her arms were entangled in
it, At this moment Miss Maude leaped
into the deep water, dressed as she was,
without even taking time to remove her
watch, caught the child as she was dis
appearing the third time and took her
afely to shore The other case was that
of Miss Marry Kerridge, who saved lad
of fifteen, named Stewart, who sank while
bathing at Wentworth, New South Wales.
The boy had gone with companion to
battle in the River Darling, and was car
ried by a strong current into deep water
Neither he or his companion could swim,
and he cried loudly for help. Miss Ker-
ridge was about one hundred yards off,
and, hearing the boys cries, ran as fast as
she could to the spot, plunged into the
river with all her clothes on, and caught
the lad as he rose the third time. After
considerable difficulty, owing to the
rapidly of the current, having only one
hand at liberty, and her efforts being i'm
peded by the weight of her clothes, she
ultimately succeeded in placing the lad
in safety. The Royal Humane Society
bestowed medals for saving life, with
suitable testimonials, on each of the young
ladies'

a month after the above scene, the
young people were married. A year
after, Madame Desgranges was godmoth-
er. Two years later, NJ Desgranges was
father. At the end of three years
we find the young household
and the old, the parents and the children,
installed in the pretty house at Vile
neuve-Saint Georges.
l have said that NJ. Henry Grandval
was an architect; but to speak of a young
architect is, too often, alas to suggest an
architect IN pG5tjbus Of all artists the
most unfortunate are certainly the archi-
tects. Let a poet be ever so poor, he can
always find pen wherewith to SCribble
his verses; a musician, a sheet of ruled
paper, on which to tTanscribe his notes; a
painter, brush and a scrap of canvas,
whereon he can jot down his pictorial
imaginings; while one has not under
ones hand, and cannot command at Will,
quarried and shaped stone, and plots of
ground suitable for building. No one
builds a house for the sake of the archi-
tect; and what is entrusted, in this line, to

are small prOprietOrs who, having crew

of indispositiOn, one sends for humble

the condition of Henry Grandval.
By way of compromising himself for

THE present form of sulphur match was
invented in 1899, by an English chemist.
Matches are generally made from clear
white pine, which is first sawed into
blocks of uniform length, and afterward
split into the desired shape by ingenious
machinery. They are then coated with a
preparation of sulphur and chlorate of
potash, or sulphur and inter. The latter is
the more common.

A Working King.

The late King Of Saxony was in
the habit Of attending al the State
institutions to see that they were
kept in working order. One day
King John appeared at the tele>
graph Office Of a small station, TAX
ing the clerk by surprise. This
official had only just time to tele-
graph to his colleagues at the next
station, " The king has just ar
rived on a visit of Inspection be-
fore he was summoned to give all
possible details to his sovereign
with regard to the amount of traffic
in the place, the number Of dis>
patches received, the number sent
out, etc. Presently a message
came along the wire, which the
clerk read in much embarrassment.
What are the contents of that
dispatch 2" inquired the king.
The official stammered out that
the contents were unimportant, but,
as his royal master insisted on be-
ing informed of them, the unhappy
clerk was at length compelled to
acknowledge that he had telegraph
ed to his neighbor, "The king has
just arrived" and that the answer
he had received ran thus !" The
king pokes his nose into every
thing"
