The Duty of Thankfulness.

Nurses in hospitals are rather apt
to lay too much stress on the advan-
tages received by the patients and
their duty of thanktulness, but still
it is the poor soldier who suffers most
from having his causes to be grateful
flung in his teeth. Witness the fol-
lowing true story:
Chaplain-So poor Hopkins is dead.
| should have liked to speak to him
once again, and soothe his last mo-
ments; why didn't you call me?
Hospital ORDERLY didn't think
you ought to be disturbed for OPP
kins, sir, so just soothed i'm as best
| could myself,
Chaplain-Why, what did you say
to him?

Sixty minutes in an hour;

Twelve good hours in every day;
Time for work and time for play.

All are good, since all from heaven.
Yet the first, the Day of Rest,
Ever must we count the best.

All their pleasant changes ring.

Four Little Squirrels.

One day, Mrs. Squirrel said to Mr..
Squirrel, "My dear, don't you think
it is about time for Frisky, Frolc,
Bushy-tail and Whisk to learn to work
little? / am afraid that they will
think that they need never do any
work, but may always play from
morning to night as they do now"
Mr.. Squirrel said that he thought it
was high time. ''And BESIDES" said
he, ''the nuts are ready to gather for
winter. There are six of us, and no
matter how hard you and | work, we
shall not be able to gather enough to
last all winter, so the children will
have to help us, think"
So they called Frisky, Frolic, Bushy-
tail and Whisk, who were playing tag
up and down the trees, to come into
the hole-which was their house-for
they had something to say to them.
These little squirrels were very ODE
dent, so they went into the hole as
soon as they were called.
The papa Squirrel said to them, ut
will soon be cold weather and it will
not be long before snow will cover the
nuts that are on the ground, so that
we cannot get any to eat. We shall
have to gather enough now to last all
winter. Your mamma and | cannot
gather enough for all of us, so you
will have to help. l will gnaw a hole
for each of you to fill before the snow
comes. If you do that we shall be
happy all winter long"
These little folks all thought that
this would be very easy thing to do,
and decided togo to work right away.
Now Frisky, Bushy-tail and Whisk
went to work in good earnest, and
soon had quite pile of nuts collected
and placed safely in their holes, but
Frolic got tired of working after he
had put two nuts in his hole and went
to play with little neighbor named
Snip, who lived in the next tree. He
thought that there would be plenty of
time. Every day while the others
worked he spent his time playing,
only putting one nut in, once in a

u y
wait till just before 1t SHOWS and thel
| will work very hard and will sool
have large pile"
One day Mr.. Squirrel came HON,
and said, II think that it will snow
either tonight or tomorrow. 1t look,
like it. i
When Frolic heard this he felt F.,
little frightened because he had only
five nuts in his pile, but he thought
II will work very hard today, ant
after all it may not snow tomorrow. .
So he began, but he found it very
slow work, for instead of plenty O,
nuts as he had expected, he had to
search a long time for each one, fol
SO many had been gathered that there
were but few left. Some school-bovs
had been there day or two before
and taken agreat many. He worked
very hard all day and at night had
still but small pile. Now he began
to wish that he had worked as the
others had. He could hardly sleep
all night for thinking how dreadful it
would be if it should snow in the
night and he should be able to find
no more nuts. He thought that then
he should surely starve.
The next morning he looked out of
his hole and sure enough it had
showed and the ground was covered.
This would make it harder still for
him to find nuts, but there was no
help for it, he knew he must find more
or else he should starve. So he began
his task. He had to dig up the snow
and even then sometimes he did not
find any nuts. He began to feel dis
couraged, and did not like to ask his
brothers and father and mother to
help do such hard work, for he knew
it was his own fault. At last he de-
cided that he must have some help,
or he would surely starve during the
winter.
While he was thinking of this, his
mamma saw that he looked sad, and
asked what was the matter. He told
her all about it, and then she told the
rest of the family. and they all began
to wonder what could be done. Each
one looked at his own pile of nuts to
see if he could spare any, but though
they could each spare some, they
could not spare enough. They really
could not think what to do.
Mr.. and Mrs. Squirrel felt very sad
for they knew that it would be dread
full not to have enough to eat.
Finally, Bushy-tail, who was a
thoughtful and kind little fellow,
asked MS papa II he thought that the
Sun would be willing to help if they
all asked him.
Papa Squirrel thought that this
would be a good idea, so they all went
out and asked a sunbeam if he would
please go up and ask the big Sun if
he would please send a great many
little snnbeams to carry away the little
snowflakes for awhile, so that they
could all look for some nuts, that
Frolic could have enough to keep him
from starving.
The little sunbeam willingly went
to ask the big Sun, who smiled, and

THE CITIZEN.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Astonished His Opponents,

At the Hoffman House in New
York lately a party sat at a table In
the art gallery making wagers, each
on his own particular trick A young
broker, who spent last summer with
bis grandmother in Jersey, won q
pocketful of greenbacks on trick
taught him a good old lady. He had
lost considerable money on catch bets
when be offered to wager any one In
the party that he could eat more eggs
than any other three men present,
providing he was permitted to have
the last turn. A doctor, a coroner
and bank teller took the bet. After
a brief discussion the three gentlemen
decided to tackle fried eggs. they
repaired to an all-night restaurant on
Sixth avenue, famed for the encoun-
ters which men about town had with
in its portals, and ordered a batch.
Every man ate, and the waiter hand
ed check for several dozen.
Then the young broker that had
learned thing or two from his Jer-
sew grandmother directed the cook to
crack and spill into large pan 100
fresh eggs. Before putting the eggs
the pan, however, he ordered that it
be half filled with vinegar. His in
structions were carried out Alter
allowing the mixture to cook reas-
enable time the cover was lifted and
the eggs placed in a big dish. BY
permission of the proprietor the gen.
tlemen interested had watched the
cooking. When the eggs were
brought forth everyone except the
man with the Jersey grandmother
gave vent to calculations ofastonish-
ment. The 100 eggs could convent
emily be put into an ordinary teacup.
Then the owner ate them in half a
dozen swallows.
"There hole iu the pan," yelled
one OF the party.
"No, there amt. I'll explain. The
vinegar has eaten them. 1t is fact.
You can drop 1000 eggs into boiler
with little vinegar in it, and you'll
find that when cooked in it the eggs
will disappear as if by magic"
