the children amused baby an hour at q

Mrs. Primrose ran against Nell, upset
the basin of water where the little one
was making soap-hubbles, and broke her
pipe. What was far worse, in the baby's
estimation. some of the water splashed
upon her own new poplin dress.

A Home far Aged Animals.

Within the last few years Homes for
Lost Dogs have beet established in sew
eral European capitals with excellent re-
suits, and are becoming familiar institu-
tons; but alone for aged animals" is,
SO far as we know. an absolute novelty
out of India, and as such, deserves espec-
ial notice. 1t appears that wealthy
Frence gentleman, owning an estate at
Concise, near Paris, has for sometime
past devoted his time, money and at
tentlon to soothing the declining years
of beasts and birds by accommodating
them with comfortable residences in his
spacious park. He has already col
lected strange assemblage Of venerable
creatures, duly provided with anthem
ticated records Of their respective ages
and career. The patriarch Of this quaint
community is q grizzeled old mule,
Just entering his seventy-third
year, between whom and an
obese goose OF thirty-seven an affec-
tionate intimacy subsists. Mother Go ose

THE SCARECROw.

Tn farmer looked at his cherry tree,
With thick buds clustered on every hough,
II wish could cheat the robbins," said he;
IF somebody only would show me how.
"I'l make terrible scarecrow grim,
With threatening arms and with ertstling
And up in the tree I'll fasten him
To frighten them half to death" he said,
he fastened scarecrow tattered and torn
Oh, twas horrible thing to seei
And very early one summer morn,
he set it up in his cherry tree.
The blossoms were white as the light sea foam,
The beautiful tree was lovely sight;
But the scarecrow stood there so much at
That the birds flew screaming away in
fright
But the robbins, watching him day after day,
With heads on one side and eyes SO bright,
Surveying the monster, began to say,
"Why should this fellow our prospects
blight.
He never moves round for the toughest wealth.
eT,
He's a harmless, comical, tough old fellow;
Lists all go into the tree together,
For he won't budge till the fluit Is mellow"
Soup they flew; and the sauciest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perked,
Selected q spot with the utmost care,
And Ill day merrily sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their nest!
In the scarecrow'S pocket, if You please,
That half concealed on his ragged breast
Made charming covert OF safety and ease
By the time the cherries were ruby red
A thriving family, hungry and brisk,
The whole day long ON the ripe.fruit fed;
Twas so convenient They saw no risk!
Until the children were ready to fly,
All undlsturbed they lived III the tree;
For nobody thought to look at the gay

The Aurora.

Polar snow is known to contain FIVE
fortieths Of iron, which must have de-
scended from the atmosphere. In the
snow north Of Spitzbergen, Nordenskjold
detected iron, cobalt and phosphorus.
Facts like these appear to have suggested
theory Of the aurora borealis to Profess
sor Grinemann, of Gottingen. He be-
lieves that large masses of iron particles
describe path around the sun, and
when the earth crosses their path some
Of the particles are attracted by it, es-
pecially at the poles. When the particles
strike the atmosphere the friction thus
produced causes them to ignite and be-
come luminous, exactly following the
behavior Of the meteorites.

ALOver of Shakespeare.

One of the most noted characters on
the border twenty years ago was old
John Bridger, of Fort Brldger, in Utah.
On one occasion he came to New York.
He did not like the narrow downtown
streets with high buildings on each side,
and complained that he once los. his way
in 'sDey Street Canon" and had been
rescued with difficulty by the police He
liked the theater and expressed the utmost
light at q performance of the "Midsum.
mer Nights Dream. He had no clear
idea who Shakespeare was, but conceived
and developed the most extravaganza adj
miration for him.
Returning to the fort, he sold stock and
supple, to emigrants and ether travellers
as in times past. One day man wished
to buy some oxen, and Jim said he could
have any except one yoke, which he had
made up his mind to keep at all hazards.
In the morning messenger came to say
that the man wanted this yoke, and none
other.

Washington's Last Illness.

The following account of General
Washington's illness and death, concern
ing the manner Of which so much has
been recently said and written, possesses
q peculiar value. It is taken from an
old book, "Ewell's Medical Companion"
published in 1907, and dedicated by the
author, "James Ewell," to "Mr. Jefier-
SON."
On the afternoon of the thirteenth OF
December, 1899, riding out to one of his
farms, he was caught in driving rain,
which, soon turning into snow-storm,
deposited a considerable quantity of
snow betwixt his cravat and neck. Long
accustomed TO brave the lnclemencles Of
the weather, he paid no regard to this
Circumstance; but having brushed off the
snow on his return, he supped and went
to bed as usual. Sometime before Day,
he was awakened with the sore throat
and difficult breathing with constitute
quinsy. A faithful domestic, who al.
ways carried lancet, was called up and
bled him, but without affording any re.
lief.
About daybreak, my dear relative and

Alexandra, the inseparable friend and
physician of Washington, was sent for,
who reached Mount Vernon about ten
o'clock. Alarmed at the generals SYM

To obllge Mrs. Washington, he con
tinued to take medicines offered him, til
the inflammation and swelling INSTRUCTED

dressed himself and went to bed, as hi
said, ITO die" About half an hour be-
fore he died, he desired his friends tc
