A Friendly Horse.

SOME boys had placed in a field a
snare by which they hoped to catch a
rabbit. 1t was sort of moose made of
coarse, twisted grass. Fido, the dog,
put one of his fore-feet in the moose,
and in trying to get away his leg was
doubled up by it. He limped off howl
ing to his friend Hero, an old horse
that was grazing near by. Fido lifted
up his leg, and Hero at once saw what
was the matter But Hero had no knife
with which to cut the moose. What
could he dop He did not stay long in
doubt. He put down his head, and be-
gan to gnaw at the moose. Taking
good care not to bite Fido, he nibbled
at the wisp of twisted grass till it
dropped off, and the good dog was free.
You should have seen Fido as he
scampered round, jumped up and
barked at his old friend. "Barked at
him?" Yes; but it was all in play, as
much as to say, "You dear old Hero!
How l thank you! l will do as much
for you, should youever get into trouble.
Bow, WOW, wowr
And Hero galloped round, and threw
up his heels, but took good care not to
hit his friend Fido. Each seemed to be
glad in the feeling that kind act had
been done.
This is true story. -Nwsery.

BABYS VALENTINE.

"WHAT shall I send to the baby?"
st. Valentine ponders to-day,
81 know she'd feel hurt if neglected,
For girls always do, so they say.
"She is almost too little for bonbons.
And pictures, though well in their way,
Are not good enough for my lady,
So what shall do; 'who can say2
"If twas summer I'd send her some roses,
To match cheeks as blooming and fair;
Or star5-could get them-or sunbeams
As bright as her own silken hair.
"There's naught that's too good for thu
darling,
So innocent. gladstone and free,
Who brightens our lives with her laughter,
And drives away care with her glee.
"Then what shall send to the baby2
wish could find something new,
As fresh and us pure as my lady;
All, now l know what L will do.
II will just send her plenty of kisses,
Too many there never can be,
And surely the shyest of Misses
Will take them from an old chap like me- >

TWAS near to twilight as they stood
Upon the borders of the wood,
They two together,
And talked (as lovers always will
Who, when the days long toll is still,
Meet in the soft gray light to bill)
About the weather.
they stood beneath the poplar's shade,
And on its silver bark he made
Two hearts united,
And wrought the letters of her name
And blushed at what with conscious shame
His hand indicted.
The moon rose up-the summer dew
The tree shook down upon the two
The moonbeams glinted;
The pressure of hand, a look,
To the twain dreaming by the brook,
Spoke moro than many quarto book,
In plea printed.
Well, well it happened he and 1
fHe's over fifty now went by
That spot last night;
The hearts and letters, OvergrOwn,
Still on the poplar's bark were shown
Her name, entwining with his own,
Scanning the sheeny white.
He stopped, and viewed with needful glass
All come to that, the years, alaSl
Not only honorS bring
Lit his cigar, and, when twas red,
"Poor thing poor thingp' he putting said
"She married Stubbs-I hear she's dead;

The Inter den Linden and other
streets of Berlin were on New Years
morning made the scenes of most I'M
seemly violence in connection with the
anti-Jewish agitation. Large crowds
of riotous merrymakers, mainly stu
dents, gathered before the chief cafe Of
the town, much frequented by the He
brews, and made regular demonstra.
ton. They smashed the windows and
mobbed all the Jews whom they met.
The police were comparatively helpless:
Another cafe was invaded and emptied
of its Jewish customers. Large and
stormy public meetings continue to be
held. and the anti-Semitic crusade
seems to be gaining in force, that of the
fist, however, being now substituted for
that OF the tongue.

The spoken language of China so
differs in every separate province that
people living a hundred miles apart can
no more understand each other than
Norwegian can understand Hctten-

is more common than any other die

The Best Time for Cutting Crafts.

In several publications we notice that
the cutting of gratis in the fall, cor be-
fore the sharp cold of winter Injuries
their vitality" is highly recommended.
Directions are thus given how they are
to be preserved through the winter
They may be packed away in boxes of
fine damp moss, damp sawdust, or bu-
ried in the earth or sand" There is a
great deal more added which we do not
think worth while to quote. This mode
may be very good one, but we have
never tried it and just now do not seem
in the mood to do so. We have done
most of our own grating, and have been
successful. We never cut our gratis be-
fore February, and if the ground is not
frozen stick them in at the foot of the
tree, then the variety is known without
labelling. If the ground is frozen they
are tied up, the bunch labeled and buried
in the ground under shed or in a
rather dry place. We have set seventy
of these gratis (pears) at one time and
every one Of them gre,O. Once on time
we employed protested CRATER, who
brought his own scions (cherries) and
set thirty-two for us, every one of which
died. The following spring we thought
to try our own hand at it, and set six
teen (cherries) on the same tree which
had been fifteen years planted, the gratis
cut as usual in February, and eleven Of
them grew. This we thought was do.
ing pretty well with cherries. If tho
gratis are all carefully preserved and
properly set, it makes no difference
whether cut in fall or spring. Cherry
gratis, however, should be always cut
before the buds show any signs of swell.

SUET PUDDING.-Two tablespoonfuls
of suet, one cup of bread-crumbs, one
quart of milk. eight eggs, three table,
spoonfuls of flour, nutmeg, cinnamon.
Chop fine suet sufficient to make two
tablespoonfuls; boil the milk and pour
it on the bread-crumbs, cover it and let
it steep half an hour, then let it cool,
and add alternately the suet and -four,
then the eggs, which must be beaten
very light, lastly spices. Dip the pud-
ding-bag in hot water, put in this mix
ture and tie it firmly, boil it two hours,
and serve with sauce. Send it to the
table as soon as taken from the pot.
