Sir: With the substitution Of names,
this Is an exactverbatim copy Of a pa.
per found in the desk of q little girl
nine years Of age. She had evidently
been reading IN the newspapers the
will Of some person which had found
its way into print, and perhaps had
read Sh~akespeare's curse. So she
came to the conclusion that it would
be q very proper thing for her to set
her own AFFAIRS in order. She wrote
accordingly:
II Mary Ann Smith, do give aud

Should 3 boy be asked. "How can
nm egg be put In q bottle?" he proba-
bly, would reply:
ssBreak the shell and pour it inv
But an egg, with its shell pnbroken,
may be put in . bottle, and this is the
wayto do it:
Soak fresh egg for several days in
strong vinegar. The acid of the vine
gar will eat the lime OF the shell so
that while the egg looks the same. ii
really Will be soft. Select q hottie with
the neck Q third smaller than the egg.
With q little care you will have no
trouble in pressing the egg into the
bottle. Then into the bottle pour about
half as much lime water as it will hold
and let it stand. The lime will be abb
sorbed BY the shell, which will become
hardened again.
Insthis manner You will hare an egg
8of natural appearance in a small
necked bottle. OF course. the lime
water should be poured off before the
egg is shown. Then those who do not
understand how it is done will wonder
at It.
Little Buttercup.
One day we lost Baby Edna again.
She is a very sweet, loving baby, and
she hardly ever cries. Her eyes are
big, and brown, and ~yelvety, like pam
sizes, and her hair is yellow like sun
shine, and fine like silk, and it curls in
little fluffy rings.
Where's the babyg' asked papa,
coming home from the store with a big
golden orange in hls hand. What do
you suppose he wanted Of Ednap
HHShe won't over to grandma's half an
hour ago" answered mamma.
.fll go over and get her now said
papa.
But grandma had not seen her-the
cunningstwo-year-old baby, who could
Just toddle off all alone herself. Aunt
Sue had not seen her. nor either had
Uncle VIII. who had been hoe.ng corn
in the garden all the morning.
Not a great way from grandma's
house is a meadow and a little brook
runs through il. It is a very little
brook indeed, but when papa found
the baby's pink sun-bonnet floating in
it his face gotyery white. Mamma
face got very white, too. and she wrune
her hands. and grandma's glasses
got very DIN; poor grandma, SO dim
that she had to sit down on 9 big rock
to rub them clear again. There were
bAttercups all around-tall, nodding
!. buttercups. :.
In q minute grandma began to rub
her eyes. She saw, o, such a big but.
tercup, nid7nid-nod ding with the 9th
Ners in the sun!
why! Why!" said grandma; and
she gotup and walked through the
TALL grass nearer and nearert to 1t. That
~buttercup had . pair Of brown ewes
and = little rose-leaf face and two wee
hands filled with truly buttercups.
Wasn'ti it real funnyp
why babyln cried grandma. ..Why
In q minute papa came with the or.
ange still in his hand, and mamma
who caught up the runaway baby and
gave her . dozen kisses on the spot.
Why baby how did rot get lost
away4ontherepn she said.
Nc wasn't losted,n said Baby Edna
smiling sweetly. ..Me know where
myself was all We time!'
Then she rode to the house on papa's
shoulder. and had her orange. That
was what he wanted her for in the first
place; of curse it was. And now papa
calls Baby Edna his Little Butter
cup.
