fHANG UP THE BABYs STOCKING

Hang up the baby's sto ,king;
Be sure you don't forget
The dear little dimpled darling!
She never saw Christmas vet;
But I've tod her all about it,
And she opene her big, bue eyes,
And l m sure she understood it,
She looked SO funny and wise.
Dear! What tiny stocking!
1t doesn't take much to ho'd
such little pink toes as babys
Away from the frost and cod.
But then, for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.
L know what will do for the baby,
I've thought of the very best plan
III borrow stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever l can:
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner, so!
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten it on to the toe.
Write: This is the babys stocking
That hangs in the corner here;
You have never seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year.
But she's just the blessedest baby
And now, before you go.
just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe"

sself, but why some should have so much
more than they wanted and others
nothing, was riddle to him. A moment
he fingered, then turned away with the
words:

I'd like summat for the little 'un."
Rather comical figure did this young .
sster cut as his bare feet wendell them
selves toward less prosperous part of
Brooklyn. Yet despite the amplitude of
ragged trowsers and dilapidated frock
coat, with its skirts reaching almost to
his ankles, there was something in the
boys straightforward eyes and honest
face that gave evidence that he was de-
serving OF better fate than that of a
waif. Clothes, however, mover troubled
him. Something to ssarve off the crav-
ings of hunger and hole to crawl into
into at night, these were the things that
were the cause of thought to this child
of the streets, more especially since he
had taken unto himself a charge. Here
tofore he had led happy lucky ex-
istence, Notwithstanding the snubs that
fell plentifully to his share. Foraging
for breakfast was his GRAND this morn,
but somehow, amid so much good cheer,
there seemed nothing for him till little

The India RuL6eT Plant.

AS rule, this plant is agencral fay
orite with most amateurs, inasmuch as
it is very ornamental, and having q
hardy constitution it i, specially adapt
ed for the class of cultivators. When
we'll grown few plants have moro ma.
jestic appearance, either when grouped
with other foliagcd aad Towering plants
in the green- house, in the window gar
den during the summer months, for
such in some parts of tho country they
arc used extensively, although not SO
much as they deserve. Again, for en-
bellishing balconies, rooms, staircascs,
ETC., or in fact any part of the dwelling
house, few plants are better adapted.
Indeed, provided due attention is given
to watering, it will thrivs under the
most adverse conditions and in the dry
atmosphere Of any room. 1t thrivcs
best in a compost of loan and sand,
which should be somewhat rough, espc-
cially If it Is good sized plant. Tho
potting, if any plant require it, should
be done in spring, as this will allow the
plant ample time for making wood dur
ing the summer. At this period of tho
year it requires abund IA CO of water,
which. however, must DO given moro
sparingly during winter. - Prairie

The big steamer Wyoming was
launched from the Dubuque ways this
week. The scene at the time was busy
one. A Dubuque paper says the great
boat. almost three hundred and seventy
two feet over decks. laid broadside to
the water on seven big cradles. On and
about her seventy-five carpenters and
machinists were hard at work. The man
in charge of the launching was shouting
hoarse orders to his men. The big chains
which held the boat in place, creaked
through the pulleys as she was slowly
lowered to the waters edge.
When everything was ready, the men,
each standing at pulley, knocked out
the binding pins, the big fabric rushed
broadside down the cradles, throwing up
wall of water twenty feet high as il
went, and in minute the largest steamer
on the upper Mississippi was floating like
duck on its native waters.
The boat has been rebuilt throughout
nothing remaining of the old Wyoming
but the pilot house and some of the up
per works. and they are to be thoroughly
| overhauled. She has been on the ways
since the first of July. During the las
three months fifty men have been con
stantly employed on her. In caulking the
hull and the joints of the superstructure
three tons of white lead have been used
In the work of reconstruction ten ca
loads of oak timber and ten of pine hav
been employed. The hog chains whicl
bind the boat together, like the braces o
a bridge, weigh over ten tons, end TIL
engine shafts nine tons apiece. She ha
room on her lower deck for two trains
and with twenty loaded cars on boar
will draw only three feet of water
There is a good deal yet to be done be
fore the boat is ready for service, whic
will be about the first of November. Sh
will be employed in the Ohio river trade
with headquarters at Paducah, Ky.
