frantically. lie Investigated, found
farm house and barn near by, and saw
a farmer loading oats at his barn, while

The owner came along just as the
game was being secured and remOn-

He Might Have Washed.

Reference to the Vanderbilt pictures
recalls a good story told of the dead
millionaire, who was more famous for
good nature than caustic wit. One
day when his gallery was open for WIS.,
itors, along came a man with a glib
tongue, lots of enthusiasm, and dirty
hands. He posed critically before pic
ture after picture, and his soiled hands
again and again came in contact with
the rich frames and even the canvaS5es.
Mr.. Vanderbilt looked on askance; he
did not like to say anything harsh,
and yet be feared for his pictures.
Finally the visitor turned 10 Mr..
Vanderbilt, who near by was cOnyers-
ing with personal friends, while he
furtively watched the spotted hands
and draped finger nails
you have a wonderful gallery"
the man calculated. "a wonderful gall
lery, sir; why, when / stood before
that picture" he pointed to sad
faced Madonna-''when / stood before
that picture, sir, was so touched that
the tears came rushing into my eyes
like a floOd-like a food, sir; l wept so
freely-he went OIL wept SO freely
that could have washed my hands in
my tears, sir; wash"
"Why didn't you?" said the million
iaire calmly.
The talkatlve man glanced at himself
in spots, subsided and fled,

"But, Harry" she said, after lie pre-
liminary paroxysms OF bliss were over,
you must ask papa"
Darling" he murmured, Il love you
fondly-more than can tell you, but
don't ask me to do that?"
"Why, Harry" she said, "what is
wrong in that?"
Nothing, love-" he replied, very,
very tenderly, "ncthing wrong, darling,

in the last three years, aud not man

He wandered after that, without un
dergolng the humiliation Of a paternai
refusal.

RUSSELL, in the London Post. says:
"Sparrows seldom eat insects after they
can feed themselves. have not found
one in a sparrow between September
and March, and the nestlings are often
fed with wheat, dry as well as green,
from the age of a few days. These
birds do no perceptible good by destroy
ing wild seeds, for they rarely eat any
except few grass seeds when they can
eat grain. l roughly estimate that %
per cent of a sparrow's food during y, s
life is corn. Fifty two sparrows were
killed one summer about my buildings
amp garden with food in their crops;
some were young birds lately flown.
Only two small insects were found In
the whole number. They are fast ex-
terminating far more useful birds.

HOUSEHOLD

BREAST OF MUrToN.-ChOose a toler'
ably lean breast, cut the mutton into
pieces about two inches square, put 1t
into stewpan with little dripping,
fry to a nice brown color, then dredge
with -four: slice two onions and put
with a small bunch of herbs in a stew
pan. Pour in sufficient water just to
cover the meat; simmer the whole gent
ly until the mutton is tender. Take
out the meat, strain, and skim of all
the fat. and put both meat and
gravy back into the stewpan: add
about a quart of young peas, let
them boil gently until done. Two or
three slices of ham or bacon stewed with
the mutton will give it an additional
flavor. To ensure that the peas shall
be good color, ir is better to boil them
separately, and add them to the stew
Just before serving. Lamb stewed in
the same way is more delicate and costs
not much more as there is not so
much fat.
