Save the Wish-Bone, Girls.

How many of the little girls are keep
ing watch of the birthdays of the family?
1t is SO pleasant for the brothers to be
remembered by the little sisters at such
times, by some inexpensive little gift.
Here is one, any little girl can make, and
wiper.
Take wish-bone from a chicken or
turkey; make plain black wooden skirt
for it, Then over that put a little scarlet
cloak made from piece OF red flannel.
If you have little china dolls head you
can fasten it ON. Then in your neatest
handwriting pin to the skirt these lines
"Once was merry thought.
Growing in a hen;
Now ain a little slave
Made to wipe your PEN
Give this cute little pen wiper to father
or brother on their birthday and see if
they don't say: "Thank you, my DEAR"
wonder if the boys and girls now-a-
days when stumbling over their arithme-
tic examples, are tempted to vent their
disgust as | remember we older ones used
to do, in this old-time arithmetic jingle:
multiplication is vexat;on,
Subtraction is as had
The rule of three, doth puzzle me
And fractions drive me mad
The ''rule of three" is not treated in
our modern arithmetics as it used to be
in the old ones. You must ask your
teachers to explain it to you in another
form. We girls thought that when we
had mastered the "rule of three" we
were about ready to graduate. / rather
like this arithmetic rhyme better, don't
you? am sure the sentiment contained
should stimulate all the boys and girls
toward harder study-then success will
surely be theirs:
"The boy that by addition grows,
And suffers no subtraction,
Who muItipheS the thing he knows
And carries every fraction,
Who will divide his precious time,
The due proportion giving,
To sure success aloft will climb,
Interest compound receiving.

One effect of the recent pension legislation
is the necessity for a greatly increased clerical
force in the Pension Bureau. The House
several days ago passed bill making an APP
preparation for this purpose, but owing to the
press Of business the Senate has not yet acted
on it. il is understood, however. that IT VIII
be taken up without much further delay. The
enormous number OF applications for pensions
under the new law, as noted yesterday proves
the necessity of adding largely to the present
complement Of clerks in order TO prevent the
business of the Pension Office from being al
most hopclcssv blocked and delayed.
