"There's boxes and boxesl" said
Frank, laughing. ''And Pve hired Billy
Willett with his wheelbarrow to hoist
'em up to the house"
''But, Frank, who is it7 Why don't
you tell me who it is!
''Her name is Miss Barbara Babcock, ;"
said the Captain Of the Sea New. "She
comes from the State of Rhode Island,
and she says she was second cousin of
your mother. And she's coming to spend
Thanksgiving with youw
'tMiss Barbara Babcock!" repeated
Lizzie, her fresh face growing blank.
ooh, know now who it is Frank All
the relations used to dread Miss Barbara
Babcock's visits. She had no home of
her own, and was always wandering
about the country with her fancy-work
and her receipt-b book; and, oh, Frank,
she was such bore! I can't have her
here!"
"All right, tnen," said Captain Elston
'Tll go back and tell her so. Only,

''That's my own little grip said
Frank, with a caressing touch to the

But Lizzie could not help marveling a

An Artificial Metropolis.

Explorations and excavations of
mounds IN Southwestern Arizona are re-
vealing the ruins OF many ancient cities.
One Anticipated metropolis has been
traced for three or four miles, and forty
or fifty huge structures, called communal
houses, have been examined. The houses
were b G enough for the accommation of
vast numbers of people, being 800 to 100
feet long, 200 feet wide, and probably
four to five stories high. They were
built of sun dried adobe bricks, put to-
gether without cement. In the upper
story Of an unusually large structure,
supposed to be a temple, bodies of aged
men were found. Other buildings of
peculiar type were eXhumed. They were
circular, with fireplace in each. Only
one of these singular structures was dis
covered in each city. All the houses were
built on the line of an irrigated canal. A
complete canal system is noticeable even
now, one canal measuring twenty-five
miles in length. Rats were, no doubt,
used ION these waterways, and on them
the stones used in the construction of
their houses would be floated to the
places where they were required. -NeaO

Safety in Coal Oil.

The number of accidents from coal-oil
lamps is as large as ever, and it is safe to
say that in nearly every case human
being, who ought to know better, con-
tributes the share of ignorance or care
lessness which makes the accident posi-
BILE. The blaze of burning coal-oil cuts
into the human flesh like knife. Ma
ture at once tries to repair the damage
by throwing off the injured flesh, but
medical science knows of no way to pre-
vent the contraction which ensues on the
coming together of the healthy tissue
after the sloughing off of the injured
portions.
Few people seem to know on what
little thing the safety of coal oil lamp
depends. The lighted wick causes the
metal of the oil reservoir to become quite
hot, hot enough to heat the oil and
generate gas. If the gas cannot escape,
the lamp will explode. To provide for
its escape the lamp makers put little
metal chimney by the side of the wick
holder, which permits free passage for
the gas from the oil reservoir to the outer
air. The housekeeper's part consists in
keeping the little chimney open. 1t IS
almost an invisible chimney, only to be
seen by holding the burner to the light.
Never buy coal oil lamp without seeing
that this chimney is present in the burner.

Queer Fish Applications.

Outside of New York stall, says the
San, might be seen a lot of queer looking
dried fish. They were tied up in square
bundles and were novelty to the writer,
so he asked the name of them and was
told that they were called stock fish, and
that they had just arrived from Norway.
The various appellations under which
weather dried Goldfish stretched on
short stick are known throughout the
world, can be traced to one common root,
based upon the mode OF preparation for
market. The Latins called the fish
Gadus from a Sanscrit root cad or CAD,
a rod. The Greeks called the large cod
fish Bacchi, from bacchus, a rod. Anglo
Saxons called them CAD, or goad, a rod,
and the Germans called them stock fisch,
from stock, a stick. When cod Ssh is
dried on the downs it is called dunfsh,
from the Gaelic root DUN, hill. If
dried on the rocks it is called rock cod
or the klippfsk of Norway.

Two men passed each other on Spruce
street one morning this week, wrote
New York Sun reporter some time ago
One of them was a large, bluff, breezy
individual, with a frank countenance,
kindly eye and a hearty manner. The
other was a short, bearded, mild looking
individual, with a face OF serenity and
amiability. The first was the tenlan

The Loon, or Great Northern Diver.

From the article on ''Bird Music" by
Simeon Pease Cheney in the Century we
quote the following: THE loon is not
singer, but his calls and shoutings
exhibit SO great q ariety of vocal quail
ties that we must consider him a member
of Natures orchestra. In the summer of
1887 spent a few weeks on the borders
of Trout Lake, st. / awrence County. y.
Y. This beautiful little island dotted
lake, some three miles long, has been
inhabited for years by three or four pairs
of looms. There they lay their eggs and
rear their young. aud their l found
good opportunity TO study them. On
one occasion a small party of us discov-
cred nest. When we were yet a good
way off the wary sitter slid from sight
into the water, darted along beneath our
boat, and was far out into the lake before
she came to the surface. The nest, sim
ply a little cavity In dry muck, was on
the ruins of an old muskrat house, not
more than eight or ten inches above the
water. There were two very dark eggs
in it-never more than two are found in
the nest Of the loon-nearly as large as
those of a goose.
1.-The time of sitting, as l was in
formed, is four weeks. Wilson says of
the looms that they light upon their
nests but careful observer. who had
several times seen the female make her
way from the water TO her nest, told me
that they shove themselves to it en- their
breasts, very much as they push them.
selves in the water. / was also informed
that the young are never fed upon the
nest, but are taken TO the water on the
back of the mother, where they remain
and are fed for time, and then are
launched upon the waves for life. AT
this age one can row up to them and
take them in the hand, which they de-
light in giving hard nips with their long
and timber bills; but when month old
they seem as wild and cunning as their
parents

THANKSGIVING.

When the trees are gray and bare,
And the snow is in the air,
And the frost is in the sod
And the yellow golden-rod,
Like a fading sunset light,
Withers in blackening blight;
And the dead leaves to and fro
Whirl about as the north winds blow
Then comes the old Thanksgiving time,
When hearts in festal meetings chime.
When gay youth no longer sings
The clear carols of its springs,
And old age with stealthy tread
Up behind us steals, to shed
Winter SHOWS upon the head;
Yet with ages frost and snow
Brings light whose steady glow
With an inner radiance scorns
Thoughtless youths best nights and morns
Then comes the old Thanksgiving time,
And awakes a loftier rhyme.
Then, for all that builds up life
With its changing calm and strife
What was-the given base
Upon which I now can place
What poor figure l may have wrought
Out of all my life and thought
For the priceless providence
That hath made each nerve and sense
Of my boyhood but the germ
OF a growth more full and firm
For the blest inheritance
OF my parents blood-for chance
Even, and fate and circumstance
For the joy and sorrow turned
Into hope-for wisdom learned
From my folIy-faith from doubt
All within me or without
That hath helped the spirit weak
Its best life and truth to SEEK
For all this, and more that, blind,
cannot recall to mind
Thanks on this Thanksgiving day
would render as I may
On this dull gray day when earth
Hath no smile Of spring or nirth,
And the dead leaves to and fro
Whirl about as the north winds blow.

A Novel Dictionary.

How many of you have a dictionary
that has attended over 100 weddings, to
say nothing of parties, teas, ETC.! Not
very many, I'll venture to say, but let
me tell you about this noted dictionary.
Thirty years ago, when mother was
first married. she began to collect recipes
for a cook book. For lack of anything
smaller she took an old unabridged die
tionary of the largest size, cut out every
other leaf, indexed it, and began to
paste in the cooking recipes she cut
from the papers. For instance, there
was a chapter devoted to puddings; I'm =
der this heading was a list of different
kinds of buildings and the pages where
they were to be found Cakes formed
another chapter, meats another and so
on through the list.
Every week, as soon as the papers had
been read, mother would collect them,
take the dictionary, scissors ard paste
pot, and carefully paste each recipe In
its proper place.
AS time went by the book steadily
filled, so when anyone wanted recipe
for any particular dish, the dictionary
was sure to contain it. For example un-
der the heading of tapioca pudding there
were forty-seven recipes to be found,
and ninety-seven for making tomato
catsup.
But among so many, how could we
find what we wanted you ask. In this
way: When we had carefully tested
recipe and found it satisfactory we
marked it by star, thus x. If extra
good it was marked by two stars, and If
Unsurpassed three stars distinguished it.
But if, on the contrary, it was not sat
isfactory it was crossed off by single
line; two lines meant very bad, and three
lines signifed positively UNBEATABLE. "
So by simply glancing over the page we
can tell at once just what we want.
There is one objection to cook book
of this sort; 1t is so useful that everybody
wants to borrow it, and so it is seldom a.
home. Just make one and see if you
don't call it "grand good thing. p

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How to Care for Ivory Trinkets.

Ivory ornaments, unless carefully cared
for, become yellow. They are very
easily cleaned and with little trouble
will look fresh and retain their luster for
q long time. The simplest way to clean
them is to brush them with a new tooth
brush, but very sharp, to which little
soap is applied. Then rinse the orna-
ment in lukewarm water. Next dry 1t
and brush until the luster resppears- a
little alcohol poured upon the brush will
increase this luster If the trinket has
become very yellow dry it in a gentle
heat. The yellow will soon disappear
and the ornament look as good as new.
