Whistling to q Squirrel.

One afternoon, when out looking for
game, sat down on a pile of rails to
rest. Pretty soon I discovered in an oak
tree some twenty yards away red
squirrel stretched at full length on a
limb taking sun bath. Instead of
raising my rife and sending a ball
through the little fellow Cts mighty
mean sportsman" that endeavors to
kill all he sees) I decided to give him q
little pleasure if I could, SO commenced
to whistle the air of that once-popular
ditty, CT Love Thee, Sweet Norah o.
Neil" In twinkling the squirrel was
up on his hind legs, his tail over his
back, his head cooked on one side, listen
ing to me; moment of irresolution,
and then he scampered down the trunk
of the tree to the ground and started
toward me; he came few yards,
stopped, sat up on end and listened
again. was careful not to move, and
kept on whistling. After waiting mo.
ment the little beauty came on, jumped
up on the pile of rails, ran along within
four feet of me, halted, went up on end
again, made an umbrella of his tail,
tipped his head to one side, looked at me
with all the gravity of Justice of the
Peace at his first trial, and yet if ever
creatures eye beamed with pleasure his
did.
I did not move, but after little I alb
ruptly changed the tune to the "Sweet
By and By" Chut Why, with the
first note of the different tune away went
the squirrel. I did not move, only as L
shook with suppressed laughter, and as
well as I could kept on whistling. In a
minute or two back came the squirrel,
going through all the cunning ma
neuvers of his first approach, and once
more took a seat before me on the rails.
I watched him, and actually thought he
was trying to quicker up his mouth and
whistle.
Once again / changed the tune, this
time to g Yankee Doodle, and as before,
with the first note of change, away scam
pered the squirrel. Unable to control
my disabilities any longer, [ laughed
aloud, and after that couldn't call my
little friend to me.
wonder how many of the so-called
"true sportsmen" ever seek or think of
any pleasure in connection with such
beautiful little creatures save the savage
and unmanly pleasure of taking away
their lives Forest and Stream.

Her lllustriOus Grandfather.

New Orleans has some very wealthy
families who refer with pride to their an
cestors. A few evenings ago Miss De
Smith-Ryan was entertaining some visit
ors at her house, and, pointing to pic
ttlre on the wall, she said: THAT is nv
illustrious grandfather. He was man
who seemed fitted by nature to occupy
the higher walks of life, and was never
satisfied unless he stood at the very TOP
of the ladder. Her aged grandmother
entered the parlor, and, hearing the
latter part of her remarks, exclaimed:
''Sure, that's the truth you spake, nv
child. Ochl I'll nivir forget the day
bad cess to it-when poor Dinnis fell
from the top of the ladder wild all the
bricks upon him, and was afther break
in his ribs aginst the ground-poor
dear man! Be the powers, in those
times the divil bit more could he make
than phorty cints day, and But
the honest old lady's voice was drowned
by the banging of the piano as Miss De

If there is any one thing more beauti-
full than another in garden of flowers.
that thing is beautiful girl with sun
bonnet on her head SO wide and capa-
cious that you have got to get right
square before her, and pretty near her,
to see the glowing cheeks that are sure
to be there if she is at all accustomed to
garden walks and works. Physically
there can be nothing better for daugh-
tiers, and indeed, for many wives, than
to take sole charge of small flower
garden. The benefits derived from early
rising, stirring the soil, shutting the
pure morning air, are freshness and
glow OF cheek and brightness of the
eye, cheerfulness of temper, vigor of
mind and purity Of heart, consequently
she must. be more cheerful and lovely
as daughter, more dignifed and wom-
anly as sister, and more attractive and
confiding as wife. IF you have not
the door-yard ground, then get dozen
pots and plant the seeds of flowers to
your taste. The care and attention re-
quired to rear and train the growing
plant occupies the mind, to the exclu-
sion, oftentimes, of senseless novel read
ing-a senseless waste of time. You
istless, pale-faced, fragile thing of a
girl, throw off your mock delicacy, put
on gloves if you will, but work in the
flower garden till your cheeks vie in
color with the blush of the rose you
cultivate. - Flora.

HumOring Children.

It is good to humcr them in all nat
ural manifestations and cravings of their
affections. A child hungry-hearted for
love is one of the saddest sights In the
world. Hardly less pitiful is the condi-
ton of little one perpetually repressed
or discouraged in the sweet impulses
that prompt it to give expression to his
love. That way danger lies. The boy
or girl will not easily go wrong whose
arm is twined morning and night around
mothers neck, or whose head is well
coined to its cuddling- place on fathers
shoulder. 1t is on the side of their af
fections that children are most easily
held and guided, and the frmest rein is
the invisible, golden cord of love. 1t is
good to humor children In following
their natural bent in all right, helpful
directions. Remember that education
is only the leading out of powers and
faculties that are within. Encourage.
therefore, such inclinations toward
books, studies, mechanics. music. out
of-door pursuits and healthful sports as
shall help most truly to develop your

An Affecting Lie.

An early settler in Chicago relates
an incident in which he was an actor:
"As [ sat there in the long ago, and,
shrouded i'll the September haze, was
dreaming Of fortunate future for my
self, heard the muffled tread of innum-
berable feet drawing nearer and nearer
to me. The sound was like the football
of a regiment of infantry approaching,
and | rose to see what was the cause. /
had not long to wait, for very soon there
hove in sight q very singular spectacle.
First came large Illinois hog at the
head of a long column of Illinois hogs,
all marching Indian fashion, and grunt-
ing with that gentle, placid grunt which
the hog carries witlHhirn. Oncloser ex-
animation into the singular phenomena
1 saw that all the hogs, except the leader,
were blind, each animal having his pre-
decessor's tail in his moth throughout
the long line, consisting of thirteen thou
sand five, hundred and. .,twenty-one
unfortunate, sightless hogs. cheerfully
following their leader to the water.
was never so struck with the wonderful
instinct of the brute creation in my life,
and my eyes filled with tears when
saw the child-like. faith and confidence of
each blind animal following with implicit
trust the more fortunate .sride. Soon,
however, great dazzling three-cornered
idea worked it's way into my intellect.
Dashing away my idle: tears Idrew my
revolver and shot off the leaders tail,
leaving the. long line of disconnected and
aimless hogs in the middle of broad
prairie with no guide but the dephlogis-
ticated tail Of hog who was three-quar-
tiers of mile away. Then I stole up,
and taking the CORY tail in my hand I
led the trusting phalanx down to the
stockyards and sold the outfit at eight
cents live weight. This was the start Of
my dazzling career as a capitalist, q
career to which 1 now point with pride.
Thus from poor boy with one suspender
and a poor toe I have risen to be one
of our leading business men, known and
respected by all, and by industry and
economy and borrowing my chewing to-
bacco I have come to be one of our solid
men, AZ

Dutch and Germans

The term Clutch is considered on
probrious by the Germans of the present
day. 1t is more properly applicable to
Hollanders than to citizens of the Ger
man empire, but, less than $50 wears
ago, when Van Tromp ruled the ocean.
to be called a Dutchman was esteemed
an honor. This was not more because
the Dutch were great in war than, be-
cause the people of Holland were great
In peace. In those days the bankers of
Amsterdam controlled the finances of the
world. When speculation drove finan-
ciers to ruin, the supremacy of the sea
was lost, and Holland speedily sank toits
present insignifcance In the affairs of the
world. The greatness of Holland and
the weakness of the Germans caused the
latter to delight In calling themselves
Dutchmen, which practice continued
until the time of Kaiser Wilhelm LII.
and the powerful confederation under
Bismarck. The name German then
became relieved from the odium always
attached to it from the barbarism of the
ancient days, and as the honor of the
name " German has increased with the
decrease of power in the Holland people.
and the metamorphosis is now So COM
plete that Dutchmann has become a
term of contempt and derision. while
German j" is honored and respected.
England to-day holds the proud posi-
ton of mistress of the seas, and has the
reputation of holding the purse of ma
tions. Speculation, rapacity, injustice
are rampant in Its borders. In couple
of centuries it may be possible that the
word "Englishman will have signif-
canoe as low and contemplate as the
+" Dutchman /" Of to-day.

BY this time the old man, his son and
the hounds had charged into town and
were almost at the door. According to
previous arrangement sham row at once
began between our boys and the ptirstl
ers, and so well was the thing done that
the citizens (for every man, woman and
child in the village was up) pitched IN to
prevent what they thought would be q
sanguinary affray.
The burly Justice, seeing the turn af-
fairs seemed to be taking, and excited
beyond measure, mounted the horse
block and commanded the peace so vo-
ciferously as almost to be heard in the
adjoining counties of this State and
Kentucky. This restored quiet, our
boys protesting to be law-abiding citi-
zens. The old man also simmered down,
though he insisted that he had the right
to be little out of humor at the boys
for robbing him of his gal, and kept lin
gering round and "cussin' little on
the outside.
After the row had been squelched, the
women of the village organized q.
search for the lost maiden, with view
Of shielding her from the wrath of the
irate old man.
1t was not long before I was discov-
cred by one of them, and she, with
another, made dash at me-, / scuttled
off as fast as I could, but hung my
boot in my lawn calico and made a per-
feet "shuckin" of it in my haste. It tore
nearly off at the waist and split In two,
and by the time I got to the next fence I
had trail two yards long. / had great
trouble in climbing that fence q can't
see how woman can climb fence, no
way; in fact, I half climbed and half
rolled over, burst the strings round my
waist, ran out of all the balance of my
lower female harness, threw my bonnet
back on my head, raised the yell, and
almost ran over some more women who
were looking for me, and | heard one of
them say,l as I passed. ordy, Kate,
what qOGs that?" I didn't stop to ex-
plain, but made good my escape.
Joe was not to be thus outdone He
persevered, and in short time succeeded
in getting away with the right Martha
Jane, and the two were made one. But
Mrs. Joe would never speak to me after
wards, for the reason, l suppose, that I
came so nigh beating her out Of hus-
band.
It was the nearest ever came to being
married, and though Joe-doubtless in
stigated by his wife-gaye me terrible,
thrashing some eighteen months after
the escapade, I never recall it without .
hearty laugh.

Cold Feet.

Very many persons do not properly
care for their feet. They use cotton
stockings and thin shoes in winter
sometimes they sit, perhaps for hours,
with their feet damp and even wet. 1t
is not infrequent for females to go about
their household work half day at a
time with feet inadequately protected,
while the cold currents of air cause %
temperature forty degrees less near the
floor than overhead. Some people be-
| come so habituated to cold feet as not tO'
"feel" the chill the long-continued
cold having contracted the blood vessels
and destroyed the proper sensibility of
the nerves. Not few persons go to
bed in cold room, with the feet still
cold, to have them yet further chilled by
a cold bed.
Now, the feet sustain close nervous
relation to the rest of the body. Hence
it is that the physician applies heat to
the feet to relieve a congested brain.
The feet of one whose legs are paral-
yzed will kick when tickled, though
the person is not conscious of the tick
ling, nor, except by sight, even OF the
kicking. This indicates, too, why
rusty nail in the foot causes the fearful.
disease, lockjaw. Good health cannot
be enjoyed unless the blood circuiates
warm and strong through the extreInl-
ties.
Mothers should see to it that their
children's feet are well clad and should
from time to time during the day re-
move their shoes, to make sure that they
are warm. They should further tram
them to right ideas and habits in this
respect.
With all persons the rule in winter
should be wooden stockings and thick
soled shoes. and rubbers in wet weather
Extra soles, whether of cork, felt, or
even thick pasteboard, may be used to-
great advantage. Slippers or shoes that
can be easily removed should be worn
about the house. If the feet are perma-
nently cold from the shrinLage of the
blood vessels, this will tend to enlarge
them again. In such cases they should
be soaked every night, for time, IN
ouite-Warm water.
