Hurrying to and fro
Where the waters fall by the quaint old mill,
Wading knee deep in the splashing rill
Where the willows and violets grow:
Struggling along through the clover-bloomA
Hunting the busy bees
wreathing their hats with ferny plumes,
Chasing the squirrels in woodland gloomA
Swinging themselves in the trees;
Rolling down hills that are all aflame
With the honevsuckles red,
Securing the meadows or country roads
For daisy and buttercup wagon-loads,
Or feast in a strawberry bed;
Milking the COWS in the pastures green,
To Brindle's great dismay;
Searching the barn for new hens nest,
Riding the horses like cowboys west
In a most unorthodox way.

In the play OF bygone years

Beneath the roses upon the hill,

With the merry shouts that mock;
With thankfulness, and with love and praise
To the Shepherd that guards my flock.

Second.-Send to the Chicago Daily

what class and number of guests are to

when the guests are to be sent and to

necessary arrangements.

Only those who need the change of

make it impossible to send children
further than $50 miles from Chi

from Her Enemies.

A Male Lobster Defends His Better-Half
from Her Enemies.
At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail. and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in the center, and
the case of the back came away in one
piece. The claws were her next care,
and she worked away at them for a
long time.
1t was proceeding of extreme deli
cacy, considering that all the flesh Of
the great claw had to be passed
through the small base. During the
operation one claw came off altogether,
and this must have seemed to the lob
ster lady a serious misfortune. as it
will not grow to its full size again until
the second year. The tail and legs
gave very little trouble. and the body,
when thus undressed, proved to be of a
pale blue.
The shell-casting over, the lobster
sank on the sand, and this action
seemed a signal for the attack of every
creature in the tank.
The defenseless victim babe fair to
succumb to the fury of her enemies,
when the male lobster suddenly came
to the rescue. Standing over his she'll
less better-half. he fought her assail-
ants relentlessly. Day and night did
he watch over her, until her shell was
sufficiently hardened to protect her in
fighting her own battles.
When this happy moment arrived,
he deliberately picked up the old claw,
broke it in his nippcrs, and ate the
meat He then dug hole in the sand,
placed in it the broken bits of shell,
buried them. and piled a number of
small stones above the grave.-Youth's

Especial Chicago Correspondence
Almost every big city nowadays has
. fresh-air fund, generally conducted
under the auspices of some daily
newspaper. In 1887 the Chicago Daily
News started its fresh-air fund and
has met with the greatest success with
it. The work of the fund consists of
two branches, the Lincoln Park sani-
tarium and the Country Week"
The Lincoln Park sanitarium is stu
ated on the lake shore at the foot of
Fullerton avenue, in Lincoln park. the
structure resting on platform ninety
feet wide and projecting into the lake
over two hundred feet. Under the

results As for Furnishing an Italian in

sessions has stated this fact officially.
If they confined their murderous in
stincts to the determination of their
own race, there would not be so much
indignation over the homicidal tenden-
cies of the descendants of the Caesars,
but they are liable to prod the best and

The hint recently thrown out by some
enthusiasts in New Orleans that a GER
tain class of unattractive exiles were in
great demand in this country has not
had the effect of checking immigration
from Italy. They are arriving every
week in greater numbers than ever,
and the cry is still they come" The
number of murders and Standings COM
mitted by Italians has also increased at
an alarming rate during the past
month. do not mean to say that all
the Italians are undesirable acquis-
itions to our population. There are in
the Italian colony many gentlemen of
education and refinement, but the great
bulk of the immigrants are of type
that would have made Christopher Co
lumbus turn back, if he had any sus-
picion that America was to be overrun
by such hard-boiled citizens.
In all seriousness, if there is no
marked improvement in the Italian i'm
