mouse and frog never two more i'll mated)
Fell IN with each other while trav ling one day.
When after a little tho former consented
To pursue with the latter a mutual way
The mouse, unsuspecting, ere long was persuaded
A fore foot 10 tie to the leg Of the frog
Assured by the misunderstanding his ruin
They thus their journey more safely could
Jog.
At length they arrived on abroad sheet Of water,
And the frog still pretending his comrade to
cheer
Commenced 10 swim over, then, suddenly diving,
Underworld the mouse to drag down in his rear
rhe poor houses violent struggles for freedom
Attracted the gaze OF a kites watchful eye,
Who pouucing upon him, caught also his captd
The frog. vany striving his bonds to unite.

From this we may learn that improper compan'

II one would he safe, he must ever eschew;
And also that those who plan trouble for others
Themselves will find trouble before they are

Violet PotDOurri.

The first requisite is a small jar, as fashion
dictates in the matter of size that they shall
be smaller than those used for roses To each
layer of violets a slight sprinkling of salt, a
layer added each day until the jar is filled.
When filled add a few drops of triple extract
of violet, and keep tightly closed until re-
quired for use. A correspondent of Good
Housekeeping describes the above as n more
dainty and delicious addition to the toilet
table than a rose jar.

Tho DagO.

According to Bartlett's Dictionary Of
Amercanisms' and to Worcester the name
"Dago" was at first applied only to Spaniards
born in Louisiana; in time the application
was extended to take in practically all per-
sons of the Latin races born or living in this
country. Neither of the books mentioned
gives any derivation for the word. Daga is
Italian for stiletto; this may suggest a deri-
walton; another one may be the Spanish
name Diego, James.

This is no fancy picture. 1t is taken from
a photograph of real cat and her adopted
family of chickens. The lady who made the
photograph and sent it to St. Nicholas, from
which our picture is taken, told the following
story about puss:
The owner of our good hearted puss raised
a great many chickens, and out of each
brood of fifteen or twenty, when but a few
days old, several were quite likely to be
weakly, and not able to follow the old hen
around with the rest of the brood.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.



Various decorative uses for the seaweeds
that the coming months afford an opportu-
nifty to visitors to the seaside TO collect, are
suggested by Decorator and Furnisher. They
may be used on the lids and sides of glass
caskets, as borders and even fairgrounds to
water color paintings, and on picture and
mirror frames, MEANWHILE until visitors re-
turn home being kept In a scrap book.
When collected they are dried between blot
ting paper and then washed with mastic gum
dissolved in turpentine, which gives them a
fresh appearance. They are affixed to the
leaves of the scrap book, which should have
flexible back, by means of gum, and may
easily he detached by dampening the reverse
side of the leaves. Very charming mono
grams and various fanciful designs may be
formed with seaweeds They make excellent
borders for the outside surface of the glass
of aquariuns.
