Two Sweet Girl Graduates.

Two sweet girl graduates went forth TO
walk in the woods. In their holiday mood
all roads were one to them, and when they
came 10 a cross-road they turned into it.
A hunter who happened to be standing
near spoke to them.
Don't take that road, young women"
he said it isn't safe"
"Why isn't it safe?" asked the sweetest
of the girl graduates, increduously.
Because a bear has lately gone up that
way.n
How do you know that ?? Did you
see the bear p
"No, didn't see him; but there is his
trail;" and the hunter pointed to some
footprints on the ground.
The girl graduates carefully examined
the tracks, and said one to the other /:
They don't look like the prints of bears
paws. Do you think they are? ?"
"Don't believe him. said the other.
II don't think they look bit like bear
tracks"
"Do you know a bear trail when you
see it ," queried the hunter.
"If you NEAR the print of bears paws
on the ground" said one of the girl gradu-
ates, with a lofty air, Il am sure any one
could tell what they look like"
"Did you ever see the tracks of bear ~
repeated the hunter.
No" replied the girl graduate" but
natural history gives US the information of
bears paws, and the commonest mental
operation would teach US from that what
their tracks would look like. don't think
these look the least like the footprints of a
bear. Bears have claws, and there are no
marks Of claws here"
"Who ever heard of a bear without
claws ?" said the other girl graduate, with
a whitening glance at the hunter.
"What kind of tracks be they, then,
miss ?" asked the hunter.
Indeed don't know returned one of
the sweet girl graduates, superciliously.
They certainly are not the tracks Of a
bear.'
Besides" added the other sweet girl
graduate, "who ever heard Of bears walk
ing along road. ?'
The hunters stock of arguments as well
as words was limited, and he said nothing.
The sweet girl graduates went on their
way.
They had not gone far when bear sprang
upon them and ate them up. The only
parts of their anatomy not masticated be-
yond identity were their tongues, which,
finding tough, the bear had swallowed
whole. Before the process of digestion
fairly began, these found time for few
words:
They were bear tracks after all, said
one.
"And suppose they were" replied the
other, " how we're we to know ?"-Hcrpers

A pin and needle being neighbors in a
work-basket, and both being idle, began to
quarrel, as idle people are likely to do.
II should like to know" said the pin
"what you are fit for, and how you ex-

'What is the use of your head" re-

What is the use of your eye if there is
always something in it?" retorted the pin
bluntly.
II am more active and can get through
more work than you can," said the needle
Yes; but you will not live long, for
you have always stitch in your side,

"You are poor, crooked thing |" said
the needle.
"And you are so proud that you can't
bend without breaking your back" re-

hard, soon broke the needle at the eye and
threw it under the CRATE. She then tied
the thread round the neck of the pin, and,
trying to pull it through her work the
head came off, when she threw it into the
ashes, where the needle was already.
"Well, here We are together again,

is he not home al work? Aye. there's

farmer who has h d the common sense
to pay the price for success and is al
ready enjoying it. The shiftless farmer
is downright sure that he will not make
a slave OF himself, not he. like old man

Cutting Seed Potatoes.

While the experiments with whole

ing. there is a considerable preponder-
ance of evidence that the larger, the
amount OF tuber retained in each fIece
the larger the yield, large. whole po-
tatoes giving II greater yield than
when cut, and the yield decreasing as
the size OF the piece is diminished;

Neither whole tubers nor one-eye cut
tings are best The medium-a piece

Don't forget. il you arc a tall woman.
to have your workable and ironing
board few inches higher than they
are usually made. This little precau-
'tion will prevent many u backache.
When stove ia cracked a cement
may be made Of wood ashes and salt.
in equal proportions mixed to q paste
with cold water. Fill the cracks with
this when the stove is cool. and it will
soon harden.
In washing clothes both the dirt
FROM without and the soiling from the

largely accomplished by the oxidizing
influences OF the air, and hence atmos.
