CURED OF A BAD HABIT.
Thlovish Kitty Gray and Her Inyoluntar'
Hath.

Thlovish Kitty Gray and Her Involuntary
Bath.
Foolish little Kitty Gray would jump
up to the great earthen cream bowl to
steal drink, although BERTHE kept her
saucer well supplied with good sweet
milk.
But Kitty thought it nice to be lit
tie thief and help herself to little sips
Of cream from the pantry. Several
times she had been caught and pun
ished for the troublesome trick, but it
seemed to make no difference; she
would first jump to the shelf, then step
carefully upon the edge of the bowl,
and softly lap the thick, rich cream
with her little naughty red tongue.
One day BERTHE was in the kitchen,
when all at once he thought he heard
some little movements in the pantry.
He crept slowly to the door, and there
was Kitty Gray just stepping slyly upon
the edge of the cream bowl. Pretty
soon she began tapping the yellow
cream. BERTHE stole noiselessly in, and
suuueHly giving hlttlO uuiOh Pu9n, !"
she went, head first, into the splashing
cream. She foundered about in great
fright and distress, scrambling and
scratching, trying to get out. But the
bowl was deep and the glazed sides so
slippery, poor Kitty might have
drowned had she fallen in accidentally.
Bertie let her stay until he though It
cruel to keep her there any longer, then
he helped her out.
Poor Kitty ran dripping away, and
hid somewhere in the dark.
It was not very kind for BERTHE to do
as he did. but when he promptly told
his mamma the truth about it, she said
she would forgive him il Kitty was
cured of her naughty habit-and she
was. From that day, Kitty Gray never
was seen near the cream bowl again.
In fact, she would run away and hide
il any one was seen approaching with
the bowl in hand. Christian at Work.

china,s Edible Birds Nests.


The edible birds nests Of China are
formed of a species Of sea-weed, which
are carried by cave swallows often far
into the interior. 1t seems an especial
favorite with these birds for nest-build-
ing. 1t appears to be difficult to get
this sea-weed in any other way. After
being washed and cleaned, 1t is said to
be delicious, and, being comparatively
scarce, as q rare-tid-bit for great occa-
sions. The Chinese have a tender spot
for delicacies of this kind. In New
Zealand there is fungus named Htr-
neola polytrichd, which has taken the
taste of the Chinaman, and quite a
trade is springipg up with 1t for China.
No less than four hundred tons has
been sent to the Celestials In one year,
according to recent Government re.
port, the value Of which is given al
one hundred thousand dollars. Won.
en- and children collect the fungus, for
which, when dried, they get about
wenty cents.a pound. II is sent from
New Zealand to San Francisco, and
from there IS shipped 70 China.-N Y

II is polite always in asking anything
to say: "Please, sir, will you do thisp"
or: "Will you be so kind, sir, as to- do
thisp" etc.
II is polite to always answer when you
are spoken to. To be sulky and refuse
to speak when anybody addresses you
is the height of impoliteness.
It is the best kind Of politeness to
cultivate kindly feelings. A girl that
is little reserved, that is never rude,
that says pleasant and does kindly
things, that is not always thinking first
of herself is more charming than
thisp For my part, am always glad
to see such little girls, and l tell you
frankly that everybody becomes very
fond of them.
Girls ought to be modest in their de-
meanor, and more gentle than boys.
1t is entirely right for them to run and
jump and be as lively as they like, pro-
vided they are not rude and over-boist-
erous in their play.
1t is very delightful TO see merry,
laughing girl scampering over the
grass with her kitten or her dog, or en-
gagged in any other active play; but it
seems to me that she can do these
things in perfectly free manner with
out becoming q tom-boy. Don't you
think so? If you will try and not imi-
tate the rough ways OF boys, not to
shout at the top Of your voice and not
to be violent, you will enjoy your play
just as much, and people will like you
| the better for it.
There are, fear, a good many other
rules for the guidance of girls. Per-
haps you think you have heard enough
about good manners for once; but here
are some other rules that / must tell
you, and then you can run off to your
playp
Don't fail to thank any one who does
you any service or kindness.
Don't point at people you see in the
streets, and don't fail to respond to
every bow of recognition.
Don't be impatient because things &c
wrong; don't be angry because you
can't have your own way.
Don't say unkind things about your
playmates, and don't be envious and
out of temper because another girl ha:
prettier gown or bonnet than you
have. Il is impossible for any girl tC
have everything she wants. 1t is fool
ish to fret and make ourselves unhappy
because some one is better off than W.
are.
Don't use slang terms. No one like
to hear from the lips of a girl or woman

How One Woman Tells Another How to
Mako Pudding.

Mako Pudding.
This is about the way one women
tells another how to make pudding;
"If it's to be small pudding, why,
of course, / don't use much flour, and
the bigger it's to be, why, the more
-four take. Sometimes ! have to use
a great deal of -four, and then again
can very often get up quite a pudding
without having to use very much. You
see, it depends good deal on the
baking powder. II that's real good it
don't make SO very much difference
about the -four, you know"
81 suppose you use raisinsp"
"Well, now, sometimes do, and
then, sometimes / don't. 1t depends
altogether on whether I want it very
rich or not, and what kind OF sauce l
am going to use. OF course, the richer
l want it the more raisins / put in;
but if the sauce is to be very rich you
must be careful about the pudding, or
you will be sure to get it too much SO.
The best way is to make your pudding
first, and then fix your sauce to match
it." .
"How much sugar do you takeP
"Well, now, some folks takes good
deal and some folks don't. AS for me,
/ never did like to have any thing too
sweet, and for that reason I'm always
careful not to get in too much sugar.
After you've made it once or twice you
won't have q particle of trouble in get
| fino IT, inst To suit VOu "
"How many eggs do you useP"
"Well, now, that's the beauty of it.
With this kind of a pudding it dom
make so very much difference how
many you take. If you've got plenty
of eggs and you're going to make biz
pudding, why, you can put in several
it won't hurt; but if eggs are scarce
YOU can get along with one or two jus
as well, and nobody will ever notic'
the difference" -,
"Do you mix your dough witt
milkP"
"Well, now, sometimes | do, but 1t
not so very particular about that.
you've got plenty of milk and don
need it for any thing else it won't hur
to use it, but II you haven't, why, don
do it. If you get everything else righ
it won't matter about the milk at all.
"How about spices"
"Use 'em if you want to. Som
folks likes 'em, and | think myself the
rather help a pudding sometimes, e.
pecially if you use plain sauce. Br
you must follow your own taste abou
that, and if you don't get it right tn

Yesterday and the day before we copied
into our columns from the Rochester IN. "
Democrat and Chronicle, a remarkable state.
ment, made by ]. B. Henion, NJ. D., gen.
tleman who is well known in this city. In
that article DR.. Henion recounted won
derful experience which befell him, and the
next day we published from the same paper
a second article, giving an account Of the
excitement in Rochester, and elsewhere,
caused by DR.. Henion's statement. 1t is
doubtful IL any two articles were ever pub
lished which caused greater commotion
both among professionals and laymen.
Since the publication of these two arti-
cles, having been besieged with letters of
inquiry, we sent q communication to DR..
Henion and also TO II. II. Warner q Co.,
asking II any additional proof could be
given, and here 1t is:

History OF the Sea Serpent.


More than 100 years ago, Rev Paul Egede,
who read three-hodr sermons in 1884 went on
a mission to Greenland, and while there saw
the sea serpent. The parsOn said that il mad
a long sharp snout, uneven wrinkle skin,
formed like a snake aud turned its tail up
above the surface" This was rather Il mild
sea serpent, and as il was seen on the 9th of
July, we may reasonably conclude that the
parson had been celebrating the 18th and was
just getting over it. Ii was true, the 4th of
July was not invented until 42 years after this,
but il is a common thing, even in this day, for
some men TO begin celebrating several days in
advance.
Capt. Laurence de Ferry. probably the ances-
ter of Fulton Ferry, next saw the S. s. in 1876
The Captain was a sailor aud saw the sea SER
pent through nine or 10 glasses darkly. His
sea serpent had feet, 1.-TWO of which it held
above the water" il chad a head like a
horse" and the folds Of the snake which showed
above the water were fathom apart" Ne
mention is made of the head which the gallant
| Captain had on himself the next morning but
| ii is likely that he would have been glad to
| give 500 TO boot and trade heads with the sea
serpent
Bishop PontOppidan, a member Of the COpen-
| hagen Academy of Sciences, and inventor of the
| game of that name so dear TO rustic belle and
beau, tinted the village himself one night, and
at late hour the following morning had a dis
SOWING view Oh the sea serpent that Claimed the
cake. IL had bright eyes like u couple of
pewter plates" its body was las big around as
two hogshcads," and didn't taper of at the tail,
but terminated abruptly like club or water
main. From the description of his sea serpent
it is easy to regard the bishop as an authority
on the evils of stopping too abruptly, like the
sea seTpent's tail and the great advantage OF
tapering off gradually, like the cocktail.
From that date the dismal stream of intem-
perance flowed on in widening channels until
everybody that went near a creek got a glimpse
of the sea serpent 1t assumed its most hideous
form and aspect, however, when recently it re-
vealed its awful visage TO a party of scientific
gentlemen from Boston, standing before them a
confessed "sea saurian possessing close afiinities
with the fossil enaliasauria OF the las" This
dreadful revelation Is enough TO make Bishop
Pontoppidan or enalasaurianough that no
wasn't one of the lias to whom this revelation
was made.

THE BEST WAR HISTORY.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is daily rising
in popular estimation as the best obtainable
history of the war This is because it is no
one mans partial and prejudiced account
it is not special panegyTic of this or that
General, who is exalted as a demi-god at
the expense of all his associates and subOr-
dinates-but it is the plain, unvaTnished tes-
timOny of the tens of thousands of men
who carried the muskets that shot the life
out of the rebellion, who trod the weary
marches, who dug the rifle-pits, aud who ex-
posed their bodies TO the fierceness of the
elements and the dangers of rebel shot and
shell. This testimony of a cloud of wit
nesses f" has value that no individual nara
tive can have. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
is now subscribed for regularly by every
historical association North and South and
by most of the public libraries in all parts Of
the country
1t Is invaluable to put into the hands of
children, who are eager to read the history
of the great struggle, and every family which
has sons should have it. Boys will read
stories of adventure-itis natural, healthy
taste-and it is infinitely better to provide
for them what is wholesome and instructive,
than to let them surfeit their minds with
the harmful stuff found in the majority of
the so-called boys books"
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE only costs TWO
CENTS WEEK, so that every one can afford
to provide himself and his family with what
will make such rich returns.

A Whole Family Murdered.

Dir. aud Mrs. Mat Logan and their four chill
dren were murdered at Cuba No., early
wednesday morning, Sept. %. The first sus-
picion that crime had been committed was
when a neighbOr discovered trail of blood
leading to the house He followed il and on
reaching the house found the body of the
adopted girl lying dead in the hall. She had
been killed with Ratchet. The rear portion
of the house was burned down, and in the ruins
were found the charred remains of Mrs. Logan
and her three children. The trail was again
followed and a mile and a half from the house
the body of Mr.. Logan was found horribly
mangled. He had also been cut with Ratchet
and his body was dragged some distance to the
railroad track and placed on the rail- He re-
Gently disposed of some property for which he
received $500, and robbery is supposed to have
been the motive for the crime.
