Beauty OF Age.

Old age has its beauty as we'll az
youth. See that lovely old lady, silver
haired, with some OF the fire of youth
still shining in her dark eyes, and
harmonizing rather than contrasting
with the dignity of age. She leans on
the arm Of a manly young fellow, tall,
sunburnt, with frank kindly face, and
together they form a striking plcture.-
1t is only middle age that is hopelessly
unpictures que. Middle aged men, as a
rule (there are some pleasant excep-
tions), have an aspect that repels ro-
nance. They look of tue earth, earthly.
They appear to have lost the faculty oil
enjoyment. Youth is behind them,
aud the calm and leisure OF age
unreached, 1t is a sad aud pitiful sight
to see a woman cliuging to her lost
youth by such sorry deyices as false
fronts and youthful gowns, and
kittish ways. How useless it is How
mach better to realize honestly and
frankly that youth-Lhat glorious happy
Heetlng gift of the gods-has gone for
ever, aud TO turn firmly from it and
look for the beautiful things that are
left in life. Here Is one who has done
so. and 10 her calm eyes and gentle
mien there is nothing that is unlovely'
though, perhaps, little that Is sad.--
Her old age will be beautiful indeed. 10
these days OF rivalry between mother
and daughter, In the race for beauty
prize, it is refreshing to watch her de-
light 10 the loyeliness OF q graceful girl
with sweet face, 'Alterna!e sleat and
acorn ball, in wreath about hNr head,
and with fresh, gay voice expressing
girlish ei joyment in every tone.

Skid's Kicking Machine.

The facts are these: Mr.. Skld's
neighbor kept goat, and that goat had
often got al Mr.. Skid and butted him
two rods, end over end, and he hated
the gnat prOflsely. But the neighbor
wouldn't keep the goat shu! up, and so
Skid invented a machine 20 slay the goat
It was 10 the form Of a man bending
over to pick up hat. From the hip
pocket Of t5e figure waved red han.
kerchief that was the target to draw the
goat. When he butted 1t the spring
would fly and throw the goat big dis
tance. The machine was gotten up in
very elaborate style, and locked just
like man. 1t was perfect enough 10
deceive any goat and 1t cost Mr.. Skid
SIS. But he didn't begrudge the mon
ey, so long as it fetched the goat. And
he took the machine aud put it out in
his front yard where tbe goat could sec
it. and then he retired to the house and
waited 10 see the fun. He waited about
two hours, and then his son came IN
and told him that the goat had swallow
ed an old hoopskirt the night before,
and it lad got tangled in his bowels and
slain him. And of course, Skid was
terrible mad. But the machine was
not wholly wasted, for the BOY took It
and put it outside Of circus tent so /!
looked like a man just starting TO crawl
under, and a stalwart circus man ran
up and kicked the thing and was picked
up twenty feet away, and when be got
over his surprise be said he'd give that
man season ticket If he'd tell how he
did it, as he'd like to work the same
racket on the old man Of the girl he was
courting. But the machine couldn't be
found, the boy having, in the excitement
taken 1t home.

A Dutch Hen.

1t was probably because eggs are 20
scarce aud dear now that suggested to
Mr.. McGinnis a chicken spceula ion.
McGiDnis had passed most Of bis lime
as a janlter down town, bat had saved
enough to buy lot in The annexed dls.
trict and thought Of going to farming
'eggs.' Said Mr.. McGinnis to his
wife:
Eggs goes up and eggs goes dowa,
but chickens are always steady. Pm
going into chicken speculation. Eggs
hatch 10 from fourteen to eighteen days,
Pm told. In ten days the chicks ought
10 ieed themselves. III bet you turn
out twelve broods per year, and that's
l44 chickens at twelve TO BROOD
McGlDnis bought twelve eggs and q
big hen. He put the eggs in a basket
and set down the hen beside IT. 10.
stead OF hopping on to them and hatch
ing out chickens right away the old hen
scratched around and paid no attention
to eggs OF basket. McGinnis was a man
OF determination. He grabbed her By
the legs, Sc. her on the eggs and held
her there. When he let 90 she few of.
He put her back weighted down with .
plank, but in her struggles 10 escape all
the eggs were broken.
Il hayen't time to fool with you any
longer growled McGlnnis, but III at
tend to your case bime.by. So lie nail
ed up the old hen an1 more eggs in a
box together. cut hole for her head
and neck, and went away chucKling.
The old hen onght to have submitted
to the inevitable, but she was obstinate.
McGiDDis went out one morning and
found her cold and dead, and. az his
wife came out and shed tears, he explain
I'd:
Come to think Of it, that was a
Dutch hen, and OF course she couldn't
understand what we wanted of her.
Never mind. I'll buy two rosters aud 90

AN ACCOMPLISHED CAT.-Mrs. A.
w. Brooks, of East Eliot, IN the State
of Maine, has q cat thirteen years old,
for which che has been yainly offered
fify dollars. This learned pussy will
stand up at The word of command, bow
slowly or quickly as directed, walk
around the room on her hindleas only
dance, turn somersaults, go through the
motions Of holding jew's-sharp TO her
mouth with one paw and playing on il
with the other, new when ordered to
speak, kiss her paw to visitors, hold q
saucer of milk on her forelegs and lap
the milk, and slaud on her hind-feet
and with her forepaws catch bits ei
bread or meat thrown to her, like a
baseball player. Her kitten, a year
old, will turn somersaults.
The same lady has a hen which al
ways wipes her feet on the mat on en-
tering the house, and ifasked, How do
you get your living, blddy p will scratch
on the floor. look TO see II she has
scratched out anything. and then look
at the questioner to ace if the answer
is correct. This hen despises the
wooden, chalk, aud porcelain cheats
which some people palm Of on hens foI
nest-eggs, tLmbllng them out ol net
nest as often as theJ are put in.
