BRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS.

"A teacher in New Jersey was hear
ing her class in natural history recite,
and calling up a bright-looking little
girl, asked: What is a Illuminating
animal?' "One that chews her cubs"
was the innocent reply.
Hattie was only a few months older
than her cousin Mamie, but She consid-
cred herself far ahead of Mamie in

feel very hungry. They nibbled the
nuts and found they were good; then
they drank a little milk, sneezing and
splashing it about They soon found
that no one was going to harm them,
and they washed their faces with their
paws, scratched their ears, and began
70 feel at home in their new quarters.
The hunter had little nephew who
made him long visits, and he spent
great deal of time trying to tame the
squirrels. At last they grew so tame
that he could let them out Of the cage,
and they would chase each other around
the room. When they grew tired of
playing they would climb upon little
Leslie's shoulder, and bite his ears very
carefully, and curl up in his arms and
go to sleep. lie taught them many
tricks. Trip and Tiny grew to like
their new home very well. Whether
they remembered dear Mother Squirrel
and little Tumble 1 can not say, but
they appeared to have forgotten all
about them.
The graceful FRANKS and amusing
ways of the squirrels became a great
source of amusement to all the mem
bers Of the family. Squirrels are active
little creatures, and are constantly in
motion, except when asleep. In their
own homes in t3e woods they spend
their lives chiefly in the trees running
along the branches and leaping from
tree to tree Trip and Tiny, like all
squirrels. were extremely fond of nuts,
and the hardest ones gave no trouble 20
their sharp little teeth. While he had
them for pets, Leslie learned a great
deal about the habits and likes and dis
likes Of these pretty little creatures.
Now, sad TO tell, Trip, who was very
fond Of playing on the wheel in his
cage in some mysterious way became
tangled between the wires, and one
day when Leslie went to feed them he
found Trip hanging limp and lifeless
His uncle comforted him by telling him
that it was an accident, and they would
take way the wheel before Tiny met
a similar fate. Tiny, being left alone,
became rather stupid, and ate so much
that he grew very fat and lazy and
finally died from overeating. At least
that was what Uncle VIII told Leslie;
but l think he missed his little play

That tho streets and their glare could never

Funny savings of l.lttle FLORENCE.

Little Florence, two years old-her
mamma was trying to explain to her
infant mind, in reply to her question:
''Who is God?"-listened very atten
lively to the explanation, and, with a
sigh of satisfaction, said: II love God,
don't you, mamma? He's a good old
man"
And, after listening to the story of
Jesus, she said: Wasn't He nice when
He was a little baby? Were you His
mammal"
Another time after being naughty,
she was told she would have to be pun
ished. She ran to large chair. climbed
hastily into it, seated herself firmly,
grasped each arm of the chair, and, with
a look of mingled defiance and mischief,
said: Now you can't, mamma.
In the infant class one Sunday the
lesson was about disobedience and its
punishment. Little children have to
mind or they are not nice, said the
teacher. colder people have to obey
laws or be punished. Do any of you
know how older people are punishedP'

SAVE THE STALKS.
The Value Of Corn Fodder for Wintering
Horses and Cattle.


After our experiment stations have
proved the great value of corn fodder
for wintering horses and cattle, how
strange it is that on hundreds of farms
throughout the south and west not a
shock Of this fodder is ever saved, even
when the owners have frequently to
buy hay. Many who cut up their corn
do not get its full value because they
manage it so wastefully. Too often it is
left out in the weather until the water
has soaked most of its value out Of it.
The complaint is common that corn
fodder is so hard to cure This is
usually the verdict of the inexperienced
and easy discouraged. Treated right it
is easily to take care of it. First, it
must be cut and shocked as soon as the
grain is glazed-usually long before
old-style farmers think it time. Such
grain Will be dry and ready for the
crib two weeks earlier than if left in
the hill The slower should be bound in
small bundles easy to handle. And
don't have them tied too near the top
so the butts will spread and be clumsy.
When there is not room under cover
for all, don't leave them in the field TO
freeze down in shocks or stick in the
mud, but make nice dry stacks 50 near
the barn that in a single day a whole
one once opened can be pitched in
safe from weather, and don't store a
large quantity in barn or stack without
some chance for ventilation from the
center out Stalks are sure to heat
and mold if not given air. Stand up
half dozen rails together in a stack
for a ventilator. In large bay make
two or three of these chimneys, and
don't think because a neighbors stalks
kept so well last year, that yours will
keep equally well this, without. Most
of us have yet to learn that stalks and
clover need different treatment from
hay. Cut near the ground, run through
a fodder cutter and made into half-inch
bits and fed with grain, little or no
hay will be needed, SO this bill may be
reckoned out; or if hay is owned it may
be sold to advantage. Farm and Home.

What She saved Them For.

Little Edith had the habit of eating
out the soft part of her bread and tuck
ing the crust under the edge of her
plate. Her mother had frequently re-
proved Edith for this reprehensible
practice, but i appeared to have no
lasting effect. The other evening
Edith was detected at her old trick.
Said her mother: Edith, how often
have l told you about leaving your
crusts? There.may come day when
you'll be glad to get them" Yes,

whimsical countepance, that's what

A DANGEROUS INSECT.
The Emphytus Maculatus. or Strawberry
False Worm.

The Emphytus AIaculatus, or Strawberry
False Worm.
This insect belongs to the same order
as the common honey bee, and is a near
relative of the rose and pear slugs. As
an adult it is a small black fly a little
less than quarter of an inch in length
of body, with four smoky wings, which
it holds close along the back when they
are not in use.
These flies emerge from the ground
in early spring and insert their eggs
in the leaf stalks. The grubs which
hatch from these are pale yellowish
or greenish, and are from about half
to two-thirds OF an inch long when
fully grown. They are TO be recog-
nized at this stage among wberry
insects by their peculiar manner of coll

TRIMMING CELERY.
How to Make the Roots Look Attractive

Appearance goes a great ways in the

PANS. Aug 2L-Additional details
received here from 81. Pierre. capital
of the island Of Martinique. which was
visitsd By q terrible hurricane on Tues
day night last, show that tina facts
already Published are not only
In no way exaggerated. but
that they did not tell the fall
story of the disaster. The number OF
dead was originally estimated at sixty.
with hundreds of injured The latest
dispatches received here announce that
BIS people are found ID have been
killed Ia the coast towns alone. the
towns IN the interior not having been
heard from as yet There - NO doubt
that the Loss of life in the interior
towns may have been as great il not
greater than In the coast towns. SO IL is
fnpossi Die at present To even make an
estimate Of the mum Der of people who
lost their lives through the cyclonic
disturbance which brought 50 much
ruin and desolstion to the unfortunate
island
The difficulty experienced in forming
. correct estimate IS 10 the number of
people who Lost their lives on Tuesday
night 1t Martinique Is greatly due TO
the fact that the rosds leading into and
from the interior Of the island
have been rendered absolutely impass-
able. These roads are blocked in
soms cases for several miles by fallen
trees and displseed earth aud rocks
Several days may elapse be-
fore the governor Of Martinique

ment detailed account of the
disaster which has fallen upon the In
habitants OF that island. II IL known.
however. that houses, crops and trees
from one end of Martinique to the
other have been demolished or fat
tened down beyond hope of recovery.
The loss To the coffee and sugar plant
ers will be very great
At Ducos. II Is now added, only four
houses remain standing out of the
buildings that formed that little town
before the hurricane visited IT, OF
the inhabitants of Ducos eighteen
have been killed and . number
are injured more or less severely
The troops at the disposal of the
governor and . large body of vol
unteers are busy at work in
oil directions succoring the injured and
burying the dead The physicians of
the island had hardly an hours rest
for the first forty-eight hours follow
Ing the hurricanes passage. and citi-
zens of all classes are doing their ut
most TO succor the sufferers and to re-
pair, so far Is possible, the damage
done.
The death list by towns. as forwarded
by Gov. Casse up 60 date, is as follows:

But these numbers do not include the
deaths in isolated places. interior towns
or upon plantations, with which no
communication can be had at present.
