Lady Artists on IA Lark In Maine.

Life had quickly settled into regular
ity. Every morning sketch-books and
easels, paint-boxes and palettes, came
out; the girls broke up into groups of
two or three, and started out in var
ious ways to work. Not a picturesque
spot but had sketchers encamped
about it; dilapidated set of bars, the
scorn of cows but the delight of an
artist pile of rocks in an orchard,
the thorn in the flesh to a farmer, who
stared open-eyed to find it attractive
to somebody; path through the
woods or a luxmiant group of tall
ferns. The neighborhood was an un-
worked mine of wealth. One could
not turn in any direction without see
ing n charming spot that she longed
to carry away with her, and the only
regret of the enthusiastic students
was that each one had not two pairs
of hands to work with. Dinner
brought them all home, and then came
criticism, comparison, and much pleas
ant talk over canvas and paper, ending
in the Larks' Nest-in mailing the
studies to the wall, and. making ready
for the next days work.
Before long some of the daily needs
of girlish humanity become pressing,
and a party was made up to visit the
''store" of the neighborhood- barn
like place, with drugs and dress goods,
hardware and groceries, all in one
room.
"Have you straw hats ?" asked the
first girl.
The clerk was sorry but they were
out of hats.
"What no hats ?" in a chorus from
the party who had been seized with an
ambition for broad-rim hats.
81 should like some shoe-buttons,
began the second.
These, alas they never kept.
What no shoe-buttons ?" in one
breath again.
''Please show me some ribbons"
spoke up the third.
The clerk regretted to say that rib
bOns we're not in stock.
"What no ribbons ?" cried the
chorus, in dismay.
Writing paper, if you please" cried
the fourth, sure that she at least could
supply her wants.
The clerk was embarrassed. He
began to have horror of the chorus,
and hesitated whether he had better
slip out of a back door, and let his in
quisitors find out for themselves his
stock, or whether he had better laugh.
He decided ON the latter just in time,
for Peggy began:
ST want some rye -four for sunburn. .
The man shook his head,

Entomologically, the mosquito is classi-
fed as a gnat. But it is only the theor-
ist in natural history that entertains
this opinion. In far southern climes the
more able bodied members of the order
are called gallinippers, and if any scien-
tist should insult one of them by calling
him a gnat would be promptly impaled
by aIproboscis, and dried and hung up i'm
museum of natural history, labelled
''Home species, scientist dried and
innutritious, but insolent." The French
call her cousin" Pronounce the word
in French, slowly, lengtLening the last
syllable, and the vesper hymn of the in
sect will be recognized. The more strict
ly scientific name of "diptera," or two
winged, has. however, given general
satisfaction to the society. No case has
yet been noted where a welI-bred mos
quito has objected to the classification.
The thirst of a given mosquito may be
estimated accurately by her vertical an
gle of inclination. The thirstier she is,
the more the head is depressed and the
tail exalted The Jones Falls mosquito
stands comparatively horizontal on her
legs the Eastern Shore species has
sleeper slope, while the New Jersey
variety stands vertical, head downward
among her legs, like an umbrella handle
amidst its ribs She does not sing, but
watts softly earthward and settles down
to business. Her proboscis is a very
wonderful, though highly Objectionable
instrument. 1t contains six lanccts and
a suction tube in a sheath-one of them
has an exceedingly fine point two jag
ged lacerators like tiny saws, something
like corkscrew, of unknown use, and
tube full of acrid juice for infaming the
wound and increasing the flow of blood.
She makes her own diagnosis and does
her own probing She never uses the
induction balance to locate the scene of
her operations-she knows just where
the cavity is. She never holds con-
sultation, never calls in another surgeon
to use the knife, but does all her own
cutting, and inserts the drainage pipe
herself, and issues all the bulletins which
it is proper to lay before the public. She
may, while roosting on the mos
quito bar, mention casually to another
practitioner that the patient slept well
during the operation, with slight In
crease of temperature, but no greater
acceleration of pulse than was properly
due to the inhltration of the acrid ejec-
tions of the proboscis the establishment
of small pus cavity on the instep and
another on the wrist she rather fatters
herself has been effected. The chances
that the patient viii wake up, slap Wild
ly, apply friction to the wound, and
use profound language on the next oper-
alton, she considers very great-but that
she adds calmly, is very small matter.
Professional etiquette forbids her to say
more,

When yonr daughter performs task
in All ill-fashioned manner, always say,
There! | might as well have done it my.
self i'll the first place" and then take the
work ont of her hand and do it your
self. This will encourage the girl not to
try To do the thing next time she is set
about il.
Never permit your son TO have any
amusement Mt home. This will induce
him to seek it i'll places where you will
not be annoyed by the noise.
There is no place like home. Impress
this truth upon your children by making
home as disagreeable and unlike any
other place as possible.
Never neglect the lock on the pantry.
Some boys have probably turned out
first class housebreakers all on account
of this Judicious treatment in early child
hood.
Never permit your children to contra
dict. Let them know that that is your
pSClllidT DTCJoShtlNe.
In childing your children's faults,
never forget to mention how much bet
ter the Jones children behave. This will
cause your little ones everlastingly to
love the Jones children.
Take frequent occasion to tell your
children how much more favored their
lot is than yours was when you were a
girl. 1t is always pleasant to children
to be constantly reminded of their obli-
cations.
Don't let your son indulge in any kind
of outdoor games. Keep him to his
books. 1t will make great man of him
some day, if he should happen to live.
Your girls should never be permitted
to romp. Let them grow into interest
ing ipvalids, by all means.
Be gentle and courteous before COM
pany but it you have temper, let your
children have a taste of ii as often as
convenient. A mother should never
practice deception upon her brood.
Talk shghtingly of your husband to
your boys and girls. This will make them
respect their father.
Tell your child he shall not do n thing
and then let him tease you into giving
your consent. This Will teach him what
to do on subsequent occasions.
Make promises to your children, and
then neglect to keep them. This will
lead your children not to place too much
reliance upon your word, and shield them
fro II many disappointments.
When your boy gets comfortably seat
ed in the easy-chair, take it from him.
This will induce him to appreciate good
thing when he grows older, and stick to
it-a seat i'll a crowded horse car, for ex-
ample.
Tell your children they are the worst
you ever saw, and they will no doubt
endeayor to merit your appreciation.
