OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
THE DEAD DOLL.


You needn't be trying to comfort mel tell vor
my dolly is dead
There's no use in saying she isn't, with a crack
like that in her head.
It's just like you said il wouldn't hurt much 10
have my tooth out that day;
And then, when the man most pulled my head
off, you hadn't a word to say
And guess you must think I u baby, when
you say you can mend il with glue
AS II didn't know better than that Why. just
suppose it was you
You might make her look all mended-but what
do | care for looks?
Why, CLUES for chairs and tables, and TOYS and
The backs OF books
My dolly. my own little daughter! Oh, but it's
the awfulest crack
II Just makes me sick to think of the sound
when her poor head went whaek
Against that horrible brass thing that holds up
the little shelf
Now, Nursey, what makes Won remind me2
know that did it myself!
think you must be erazy-you'n get her an
other head
What good would forty heads do her tell you
nay dolly is dead
And to think hadn't quite finished her elegant
new spring hat
And took Il sweet ribbon of hers last night 10
tie on that horrid cat
When my mamma gave me that ribbon-I was
playing out in the yard
She said TO me most expressly, - Here's ribbon
IOr 1llueBarue.
And went ana put in on Tabbv. and Hide
garde saw me do it
But said to myself Oh. never mind. | don't
believe she knew it r
But know that she knew it now; and lust be-
lieve, do,
That her poor little heart was broken, and so
her head broke too -
Oh, my baby my little baby! | wish my head
had been hit
For I've hit it over and over; and it hasn't
cracked bit.
But since the darling is dead, she'll want to be
buried, of course:
We VIII take my little wagon, Nurse, and you
shall be the horse; w
And I'll walk behind and cry; and wen put
her in this, you sec
This dear little box-and wen bury her then
under the maple tree.
And papa Will make me tombstone like the
one he made for my bird
Ana ne IL put what tell him on Ives every
single word
/ shall say " Here lies Hildegarde, beauti-
full doll, who is dead
she died of a broken heart, and a dreadful
crack in her head

The Discovery of Gunpowder.

The popular belief respecting the dis
covery of gunpowder is divided, some
holding the credit of the discovery to be
due to a German monk, Bartholdus
Schwartz (about 1920, and others giving
the credit to Roger Bacon, who flourished
nearly century earlier. Careful histori-
cal research, however, while it has reached
no certain conclusion respecting the facts
of its origin, has fully proved that neither
of these worthless is entitled 10 the credit
of the discovery. 1t is in the highest de-
gree probable that the knowledge of com
position resembling gunpowder in its prop
critics was known to China for an indefinite
period, the discovery having probably been
made by the accidental observation of the
peculiar properties OF saltpeter (which oc-
ours abundantly in the soil of the vast
plains of that country when accidentally
brought in contact with the charred
embers of wood fires. 1t is well known,
also, that the Chinese were experts in
the manufacture of fireworks as early
as the beginning of the Christian
era, and probably long before. While
this would establish the fact that they were
familiar with the qualities of explosive
mixtures resembling gunpowder, there is
no evidence to support the belief that they
used il for propelliug shot in guns until
they mad learned the art from Europeans.
The most judicial opinion upon the ques-
ton of the discovery of the use of gun
powder in cannon ascribes the credit to the
Saracens, whose civilization was several
centuries in advance of their European
neighbors, and from them the knowledge
of its use in warfare is believed to have
spread into Europe. 1t has been well es-
tablished that the Spanish Moors were
familiar with it, and did actually use it in
species of cannon to propel missiles. The
earliest reliable document relating to the
use of gunpowder is dated the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1896, and gives authority to the Coun-
/ Gil of Twelve of Florence 10 appoint per-
sons to superintend the manufacture OF
cannon of brass and iron balls for the de-
Tense OF the commune, camps and territory

A QUEsTIoS.-The following item from
an exchange needs no comment to point a
moral: a small boy having highly re-
spectacle parents brought home bag of
marbles, and, on being asked how he came
by them replied that he had played for
keeps" He was lectured on the sin of
gambling, and forced to return his ili-got-
ten gains. A night or two later pro-
gressive euchre party was in order, and the
prizes bought for the occasion stirred the
family pride to considerable degree. The
small boy duly admired them, and then
went to bed previous to the guests arrival
In the morning the prizes were nowhere to
be seen, and on inquiring as to their dis.
position he was told that the people who
won them had carried them away. Then
he naturally asked, Isn't that playing fol
keeps?"

A MUTUAL DIsoovERY.-The following
story comes from school in the Midands.
The master told the boys of the third class
to write short essay on Columbus. The
following was sent up by an ambitious
essayist "Clumbus was man who could
make an egg stand on end without break
ing it. The King of Spain said to Clum-
bus, Can you discover America? Yes,
said Clumbus, If you will give me ship.
So he had ship, and sailed over the sea in
the direction where he thought America
ought to be found. The sailors quarreled
and said they believed there was no such
place. But after many days the pilotcame
to him aud said, Cklmbus, / see land. ;
Then that is America said Clumbus.
When the ship got near, the land was full
of black men. Cinmbus said, Is this
America Yes, it is said they Then he
said, suppose you are the niggers?'
Yes they said, we are. The chief said,
suppose you are Clumbus? You are
right" said he. Then the chief turned to
his men and said, There IS no help for it
