Dogs have been favorites with the
admiral all his life, and within the last
twenty years, or since making Wash
ington his headquarters, he has
owned no less than twenty-two But
Bruce, early in his career, earned the
highest place in his masters regard by
one of those feats of sagacity which
seem to prove that animals sometimes
reason, and that, too, often more wisely
than their recognized mental superiors.
Admiral Porter had little grandson
who lived near deep and rapid water
course about twenty-five feet wide.
The stream was crossed by a narrow
plank. One day the little fellow-who
was but three years of age-attempted
the perilous crossing alone. There was
no one near to warn him of danger or
prevent him but the dog Realizing
the child's peril, Bruce ran to him,
and, catching hold of his dress, tried to
pull him back. The youngster was de-
termined to have his own way, and
vigorously resented the dogs inter-
ference by beating poor Bruce in the
face with big stick he carried until
the dog was forced by pain to relin-
quish his hold. The faithful animal
then jumped into the water, and swan
slowly across the stream below the
plank, evidently with the intention of
saving the child should he happen to
fall in. When they were both safely
across and Bruce had shaken the water
from his shaggy coat he artfully in
duced the little fellow to get on his
back for ride, treat he knew the
youngster much enjoyed and for which
he was always ready. The moment
the dog felt the child's arms around
his neck and the little feet digging
into his sides he trotted back across
the plank, and homeward, never stop
ping until his young charge was safely
beyond any temptation of repeating his
dangerous performance.-St.N Nicholas.

$50" repetition of the same word is
avoided; hence there seems to be some
reason for preferring {" so" to "as in
such sentence.
While the word-criticisms which pre-
cede this inquiry are for the most part
just, one or two qualifications ought,
perhaps, to be made. Too much can
hardly be said against the frequent and
meaningless use of "well " at the be-
ginning of sentence in conversation.
But there is authority for its use in
mere formal discourse, to denote con-
cessions, as Well, be it So" And to
the rule against ending a sentence with
proposition there are some exceptions,
the most common being in the case of
sentences introduced by an interroga-
tive pronoun in familiar discourse, as,
" Whom do you speak Off" What do
you allude tor" These are allowable.
Is not the expression which CD"
quotes as might of gone intended
for 81 might have gone" only
that a careless pronunciation drops the
h and leaves "I might ave gomez"
That was what the Scribe had always
supposed.
Any further questions or suggestions
in regard to the use of words will be in
order.
We have received some more facts of
interest in regard to the works of
Shakespeare, which we hope to have
room for next time.
For the next lesson let all who can
state in which play each of the follow
ing quotations is found:
" To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or, with taper light,
To seek the beauteous eye OF heaven to
garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess"
"Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel
just;
And he but naked, though locked up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is cor
rupted."
All that gltters is not gold"

Night Flowers.

There are some flowers that never
see the sun. One of the most curious
is the " evening primrose" About six
O'Clock it suddenly bursts open, with
popping sound, and at six next morn
ing closes. If you watch the pretty
flower, and listen, you can hear this
strange performance. This is why it
does so: The little calyx holds the pet
ais in such a way that the moment it
turns back they are let loose. AT once
it bursts open into flower, with this
funny noise like a pop-gun. So the
" night-blooming cereus" blossoms in
the night, only for an hour giving out
its sweet fragrance, and then dies. Just
think of never seeing the sun at all. In
far eastern country there is kind of
jasemine called the sorrowful tree"
1t droops as if sick in the daytime and
at night grows fresh and bright. 1t
opens its lovely flowers with pleasant
odor till morning, and then willis and
looks wretched again.-MrS. G. Hall,
in Our Little Ones.

Do 1t Now.

81 read once of boy" says some
one in the Presbyterian Banner, who
dropped so in health that his mother
thought she must have the doctor to
see him. The doctor could find moth
ing the matter with the boy. But there
the fact was; he was pining away,
losing his appetite, creeping about Ian
guidly, and his mother was distressed.
The doctor was nonplussed. what
does your son do? Has he any work?'
No; he has only to bring a pail of
water every day from the spring. But
not bring it until just before dark.
Have him bring it the first thing in
the morning. was the DOCTORS pre-
scription. The mother tried it and the
boy got well. Putting it off made the
job prey on the boys mind. Doing it
now relieved him."

Pretty Scrap-Bag.

Purchase three Japanese crepe pic
lures, which may be found at any jap
anese store, and cut each one to point
at the bottom. Sew these together so
as to form three-sided bag pointed at
the bottom. Cut out of cambria (any
shade liked) three pieces of the same
shape as the pictures for the lining of
the bag. Around the top on the inside
stitch double facing of satin of the
same shade as the lining. At the bot
tom of the satin stitch a casing, through
which run silk cord to be drawn up
ON each side. Attach to each of the
lower corners small gilt ball or silk
tassel. Cover the seams that join the
bag with small silk cord of the same
color as the lining of the bag.

A Case in Point.

| have been much interested in an
article entitled Good Reading for the
Young" l should like to relate an ac-
tual experience with child of eight.
When this little girl of whom l shall
speak was four years old | told her for
the first time the story of the Odyssey,
using all the proper names. She did
not seem to care for it particularly, but,
as it was repeated from time to time,
her interest grew, and in the course of
a month she would beg to have it told
her. Then sometimes l would read her
parts which she especially liked, and in
that way cultivate her ear and taste for
beautiful language. In her pictures
and in people she often sees resem-
blances to characters in the Odyssey,
and even once, on seeing an old,
decrepit dog, exclaimed: He looks
as old as Argos was when his
master came homel" To-day she is
more familiar with the story of the
Odyssey than most students who have
read it in the original. l have always
found it better plan to begin to tell
her the story first, and then, at an in
teresting point, begin to read. 1t was

interesting parts, often weaving my

mind is never crowded; she is told only
few stories and read to from a few
good books, so that what she knows
she understands thoroughly. AS she

To Seal a Letter.

1t is not an entirely simple matter to
seal an envelope neatly, but it may be
done easily after little practice. The
wax should not be allowed to catch fire,
as this will smoke it; it should heat
slowly The seal itself must be wet or
oiled to secure a perfect impression.
Wax of some dark tone or scarlet is
preferable. The delicate tints are not
so pretty, and that busted with gold or
silver is perhaps little too fanciful.
The seal used should be simply the
writer's initial or initials. We often
see an imprint of coat-of-arms, but
sensible people consider this an affecta-
ton.

Antique Pockets.

The pocket was previously girdle,
and first of all purse or pouch. The
ancient Hebrews carried pouch and
the Roman matrons carried hand
bag, which originated the modern reti-
Guile. They were at first made of net
ting, but later of leather. The Romans
came nearer to having a pocket than
any people until modern times. A por-
ton of the toga was bound in knot
under the left breast and a protuber-
ance was there formed divided into
many folds, which was named sinus,
and answered the purpose of a pocket.
The Roman matrons concealed valu-
ables about their persons in the upper
part of the strofum, kind of corset
fitting the waist tightly, yet loose at the
top. Charlemagne carried travelling
pouch, which was suspended from his
person. The Saxons had purses, and
the Normans, when they came to Eng
land, carried the ulmoniere, little
purse for carrying aims for the poor,
which was suspended from the girdle.
The fashion of carrying the purse in
that way, but not for that purpose, has
revived in recent years. The general
thing was purse of triangular form,
frequently ornamented with beads or
trimmings, and suspended from the
girdle. Bankrupts figuratively gave UP
their effects to their creditors by putting
off the girdle, to which the purse and
keys of the estate were attached. So
long as girdles were worn there was lit
tie need of a pocket, for custom and
convenience made it habit to thrust
anything within the encircling band

Recipe for Cooking a Ham.

Take large and fat ham, weighing
from twenty to twenty-five pounds;
parboil, then skin it. Then take one
tea-spoonful of powdered mace, one
tea-spoonful of powdered black pepper,
two tea-spoonfuls of powdered cloves,
two tea-spoonfuls of powdered allspice,
one.quarter of tea-spoonful of pow
dered cayenne pepper. Mix the spices
with enough brown sugar to cover top
of ham one inch thick; put the ham
into large dripping-pan, into which
pour two quarts of port wine; bake in
hot oven, and haste frequently until
the ham absorbs the wine.-Good

But when you are hungry there's nothing take
The place of Juicy and savory steak
Two inches In thickness 1t ought to be cut
with snow-drfts of fat on 1t sweet as nut;
And always remember when buying 1t that
Prime meat must be streaked and covered with fat
Quick, turn 1t and turn It with many returns,
While melting fat merrily blazes and burns,
Imparting rich havors. Keep turning and-there,

And then you'll acknowledge that nothing can take

Wise SparrOws.

A Boston paper tells a story about
an English sparrow. 1t is TO the effect
that Boston small boy recently gave
some sparrows a very hard cracker, on
which they could make no impression.
After picking at it in vain for awhile
one of the sparrows took the cracker in
his bill, and flying with it to the horse
car track, carefully laid it on a rail.
Then all the sparrows waited until a
car came along and crushed it, when
they flew to the spot in great glee and
ate the pieces. Now this story may
be true" says the NeW York Tribune,

fuse to believe it we hope he won't be
disciplined for his Incredibly"

THE STORY OF THE STARS.

The star spangled banner now glitters
with u constellation of forty-two stars.
The Fourth of July witnessed the en-
trance into the family of states of the
two Dakotas, Montana and Washington,
which added four new stars to the field
of blue in the American flag. The stars
are, therefore, typical of the growth of
our country and tell the story of the
states, one by one, as they come into
the Union. Just one hundred years ago
all that the flag of our country could
boast of was thirteen stars, representing
the thirteen original states which
joined destines in the great work of
nation building. But, with the Begin
ming OF the present century, the galaxy
OF stars had already been aug
mented by the addition of three, when
Vermont, Kentucky and Tennessee cast
their lot with their elder sisters. In
1902 Ohio added new star to the six
teen. Louisiana burst forth in radl-
ance in 1872, quickly followed by Indi-
ana in 1916, Massachusetts in 1917, Illi-
nois in 1918, Alabama in 1919 and Maine
in 1920. Missouri added her luster in
1921. Then there was a lull in star
making until 1886, when Arkansas
shone upon the flag as the twenty
fourth ray of national growth. A star
was planted in the flag for Michigan in
1887 and no other consultations were
put upon the nations armament until
lS45 when Florida and Iowa shone as
twin stars. Texas bright star ap-
peared for the first time in 1S45
and the next year it shone close to the
sparkler representing Wisconsin. Not
until 1850 was California's light re-
fulgent upon the flag OF the union, and
in 1858 and 1859 Minnesota's and Ore
CONS stars became visible. The next
three stars were born in blood red
horizon, Kansas in 1861, West Virginia
in 1862 and Nevada in 1864. After the
tempest was over Nebraska shone out
clear and bright as the thirty-seventh
star in the reunited constellation. The
centennial year was marked by the
birth of new sparkler called Colorado,
ana yesterday the galaxy of brilliants
was augmented by four great twinklers.
But the azure field is not yet complete.
Within the next decade the flag of our
| union is likely to be studded with at
least five and possibly six new stars OF
the first magnitude.

CHIMERICAL HUMANITARIANS.
Among the numerous organizations
which will hold sessions in Paris dur
ing the great industrial exposition is
the International Peace society, which
is represented in all civilized countries.
AS its name implies the object Of this
organizatios is the establishment of
universal peace and the entire abolition
OF warfare. 1t processes to believe that
the era of warfare is drawing to close,
that the time is near at hand when the
nations will adjust their differences and
settle their controversies by peaceful
arbitration rather than by recourse to
arms, and it seeks to accelerate the ar
rival OF this condition by sending few
lecturers out to preach the gospel of
peace and by periodical sessions of the
society to discuss its theory.
There are good and honest men in the
society unquestionably, nor can it be
doubted that they are perfectly sincere
in their views. Their purpose, also, is
by no means to be contemned, for
although ages of history and the
passions and interests of men argue
against it as an almost hope
less purpose, yet it may not be, and
probably is mot, wholly without good in
iluence. If its argument reach but one
ruler or one cabinet minister among
the nations confronting each other
ready for war, with sufficient effect to
induce him to use his influence to stay
hostilities in ordor to give passions an
opportunity to moderate and reason to
be heard, the efforts of the peace soci-
ETY. will not have been utterly wasted.
1t is possible it may already have ac-
complished thus much, and ii SO it has
not laborod in vain,
But the hope of maintaining perpetual
peace among the nations is doomed to
inevitable disappointment. Before this
happy state can bo attained human
nature must undergo a most radical
change, and the material and political
interests of oil nations become so nearly
identical as to practically create uni
vcrsal brotherhood OF all peoples. Re-
ferring in q recent college address to
the idea that universal arbitration can
be substituted for war, eX-Minister
Phelps said that IL appeared to hi IN
altogether chimerical that arbitra-
tion can ever be made the ulti-
mato resort OF nations in those
more important quarrels that involve
questions of principle or honor, or that
have stirred the blood or moved the
passions Of men. WARS" he said, ''do
not take place like murders by malice
aforethought; they are not arranged
for beforehand, like matches a. chess.
They come when combustible materials
have been allowed to accumulate and
irritated feeling to grow, whom a
match, carelessly dropped perhaps
by an insignificant hand at an
unexpected moment, sets flame
