A Birds Reasoning.

I saw one of those English sparrows
that we are learning to detest so much
perform feat the other day, which en-
tertained me greatly. He had found in
the road long strip of cotton cloth,
which his intelligence seemed to tell
him was excelleptly adapted for
purposes of nest building. Confidently,
then, he seized one end of it in his beak,
and flew away with it. Soon, however,
the wind blew the long streamer about
his wings, and brought him tumbling
into the dust. He picked himself up,
shook himself, and, Selling the rag by
the other end, made a second attempt,
which resulted as disastrously as the
first Then he seized the strip by the
middle, but this time he was entangled
more quickly than before, and brought
to earth before he had risen to the
height of a yard. He then squatted
down, painting, regarding the rag malev-
olently, yet apparently determined
Presently his appearance changed; an
idea had evidently struck him. He
hoped briskly up to the cloth, and with
claws and bill rolled it up, into COM
pact ball. Then he drove his beak into
it, shook his head once or twice to as
sure himself that the ends were secure.
and flew briskly away, reaching his dis
tant box in safety. Ii ever bird rea-
soned this sparrow did, and have no
doubt that they all do reason, and rather
profoundly, too, at times.

The Bakers Horse.

There was vero stout and naughty
volunteer general in the Southern army
who had contrived to make himself
hated by his men, one of whom took
occasion to revenge himself as follows
The general, who was extremely vain
of his appearance and Workmanship,
dissatisfied with his own horse, secured
a large, SNOWY chestnut (the property
of baker in a neighboring town.,
which he rode for the first time On the
occasion of grand review of the army
by the commander-in.ch chief His enemy
heard of the transaction from the gar
rulous baker, and an inspiration came
10 him. On the day in question
the soldiers were drawn up, the general
came curveting and caracoIing down
the line, his immense frame squeezed
into the newest. tightest, most gorgeous
uniform that ever field-officer sported,
conscious of the eyes of his chief,
and rejoicing to run his course, when
out stepped his enemy and shouted,
BREAD p with voice like bassoon.
The horse, recognizing the familiar
summons, stopped short, and presently
his rider was sprawling in the dust be-
fore his command, the most absurd figure
in the world.

4 Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get at as a sweet voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood, yet do the work of a
soft heart, and do it with O soft touch.
But there is no one thing that love so
much needs as a sweet voice to tell
what it means, and it is hard to get it
and keep it in the right tone. One must
start in youth and be on the watch night
and day, at work and play, to get a
voice that shall at all times speak the
thoughts of kind heart. But this is
the time when a sharp voice is apt to
be got.
You often hear children at play speak
with a sharp tone, as if it were the snap
of whip. When one of them gets
vexed you will hear voice that sounds
as if it were made of snarl, whine
and n bark. Such a voice often speaks
worse than the heart feels. 1t shows
more i'll will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often in mirth that one gets
a voice or tone that is sharp, and that
worst Of all discords sticks to him
through life, and stirs up i'll will and
grief, and falls like drop of gall on the
sweet JOYS at home.
Such as these get a sharp, home voice
for use, and keep their best voice for
those they chance to meet elsewhere,
Just as they would save their best cakes
and pies for guests, and their sour food
for their own board. We would say to all
boys and girls, use your guests voice
at home" Watch it day by day as a
pearl of great price, for it will be worth
more to you in the time to come than
the best pearl held in the sea. A kind
voice is a Iarll's song to hearth and
home, and the sweetest music in all the
world to Que who loves you. 1t is to
the heart what light is to the eye.

ripe, sound tomatoes; three bushels will

Der bands for excluding the air, are the

until all are closed, taking care to keep
the tomatoes boiling all the time, until
all the jars are filed. When the jars
are cold the covers should again be

A Woman in Charge.

A woman has an office on Broadway
where she buys and sells stocks for Gus
toners. She operates as an agent for a
large brokerage fire in Wall street. She
is small and slight, intelligent, and well
trained in the business. She says:
"From the wires in my Office l can send
messages directly to my principals with
out having them go through the hands
of third party. have large number
of women patrons, but L cannot say
they are the most desirable customers.
They are nervous and impatient, and
are continuously running in and out to
W Itch the ticker. If they lose, or if
ything goes adverse for time, they
whine and are very disagreeable. When
women come to me for advice, [ al ways
tell them if they have $500 or 81, 900 to
lose, and wish to speculate, to go on;
but not to risk their all. Many curious
and melting incidents arising from the
vicissitudes of the stock market have
happened in this office.
