Dolly's strip to the Springs"

Our little "Ray O. Sunshine" as we
called her, had been missing for some
time, and finally all in the house be-
came alarmed, and started out for a
search.
Papa went TO the barn, for he often
found her there, with her little chubby
hands full of sweet new clover feeding
the pony through the stable window or
trying to mother the little white Chi k
ems that were always getting away from
the hen.
Aunt Sue thought possibly she might
be sleeping in the hammock under the
big apple tree. She would often swing
in the sunshine, and listen to the chat
tering o. the birds who were busy build
ing new nests among the l,aYes, until
her eyes would close, and she would
dream she was a real little ird herself,
swinging on bough, and making her
own nest,
Willie was sure he should find her in
the garden, for she had told him that
very morning that she was going to
have a dollies' party under the honey
suckle, and that he might come If he
wouldn' ask for mouthful to eat uD-
til the lady dollies had finished supper.
But she was not to be found there,
and every nook and corner had been
peeped into.
Mamma stole softly to the attic. She
heard q little low voice, and she pecped
slyly through the door, and there,
perched upon pile of dusty trunks, sat
our baby May, with her dear dolly
elasped tenderl in her arms.
Mamma listened very quietly for mo-
ment. A little anxious look stole over
Mays face, and she began talking to
her dolly in this way;
"Baby, dear, Use taten you to q
spwings, tause you is tummin' down
wiz sullin'. do-no hat, and you mus
not be afwaid OF a tittet man, for he

minute now.
"Does you hear at toot? don't be
afwlid Of at toot, taus at says we dot
dare now, and we tan det off, ="
Mammals heart was at rest when she
found that her little girl was safe, and
she ran back TO the others who were
still looking for her.
In few moments pattering OF little
feet was heard on the stairs, and Nav
came dancing into the ro9m almost
breathless, and said:
Mamma, did you know my dear
dolly is most wellP toot her on twp

A Broken Heart.

The thoughtlessness Of youth, espe-
sially when expressed in teasing, or in
a practical joke, is often followed by
regret, remose and shame. This fact
was never more pathetcally illustrat-
ed than by the following sad nara
tive OF the death of little girl at San
Antonio, Tex, caused by cruel decep-
tion:
The innocent victim was pupil in
the high school, and was a candidate,
through the solicitation Of her friends,
for Queen Of tie May. But this was a
cruel hoax, got up for amusement Her
mates promised to vote for her, even
writing her name on slips OF paper and
showing them TO her until the ambi-
tious child's hopes were raised to the
highest pitch. When the hour for count
Ing the votes arrived, it showed only
one vote for her.
The poor child, almost broken-heart-
ed, laid her head on her desk and cried
bitterly. She went home and was taken
ILL., The illness, though slight at first,
soon developed into brain-fever.
Through all her sickness, her heated
brain constantly turned on the cruel
joke that had been played by her
scbool-mates, who even yet said that
she was sick from disappointment. But
as she grew rapidly worse, their smiles
were changed TO tears of remorse. Too
late. A few days ago she died, her Ill
ness brought on and aggravated by the
duplicity and double-dealing of her
school-maLcs. yt

and from his long experience he can

brings them to high degree and
plunges one in each sample Of milk.
The thermometer that goes down the
most rapidly tells the tale Of skim milk.
TO prove this again he reverses them,
and II the other thermometer goes
down the most rapidly in same sample
of milk he is sure it is skinned. Now
begins the wisdom of his practice. No
country jury, he says, would condemn
a man on such evidence, so he takes
means TO absolutely prove skimming on
the man that he already knows does IT,
After he gets this occular proof he
sends for the man and makes q settle
ment with him and then tells him TO
come with him to the magistrate and
plead guilty and he will advise the
lowest fine that can be imposed. This
saves future prosecution by the mans
enemies and makes him henceforth q

Is concerned.
He gave another funny instance Of

ability the lawyers sent him TO the jury

When he came into the courtroom,
they told him TO point out the samples.
He picked one up after the other, and
then protested that it was not fair

but, says he, "you have taken ice-water

"very many people," said q leading
Boston packer, ''live almost entirely, es-
pecially in summer months, on canned
goods. Few people are aware what inn

"The variety is very great, alsor
"There is scarcely anything that grows
that is not canned. We pack meats Of all
kinds and vegetables and fruits of every
variety. As rule, these goods are packed
in better shape than they used to be. This
especially applies to Strawberries. The
great bulk OF this fruit which is canned is
put up in Maryland. Until recently the
packers have used only the very poorest
of the fruit for canning and have used no
sugar in the process. You can readily inn
agine what strawberryis which has been
soaked in water for six months or perhaps
year. They were bleached tasteless and
entirely worthless. No one who used
can once would ever be caught again. But,
year or two ago, fruit-raiser and packer
commenced putting up nice article,
using selected fruit and heavy syrup. The
result has been that others have been
forced to do the same, and now we are
getting fine article of canned strawber-
ries."

"They are cooked almost exclusively in
the can. This Is true of meats and vege-
tables. Peas, for example, are SO treated.
They are first assorted into four sizes by
passing through series Of sieves or col
anders. They are then placed in the cans
and subjected to the action Of steam, after
which they are hermetically sealed. An
other mode is 10 cook them by placing the
cans in water, which Is forced to boiling
point by the use Of steam. As a rule, the
peas thus prepared are really fresher and
better than those purchased in the market,
especially the first which appear. The
first peas are grown at the South, and can
not fail to be somewhat wilted by the time
they reach the Northern market. But the
Gamer Of peas takes them fresh from the
vines, and seals them carefully, so that
they can not be otherwise than fresh when
