FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
THE VOYAGE OF ARABELLA.

Arabella Atkins was her name.
And Dover was her dwelling.
rhc things she hated most In life
Wore geography and spelling.
She fell asleep with book in her hand,
And dreamed she was on the ocean,
Bc5bng about in sight OF land
with curious kind of motion.
The land she saw was the Sandwich isles.
They were made of home made bread,
with slices of ham laid betwecn--
Very good the inhabitants said.
Then Arabclla Atkins sailed away
Till she came to the coast of japan,
Where she felt II breeze that made her sneeze,
For everyone carried fan.
And all she saw as she walked the streets
Were Japanese fans and umbrellas,
So she sailed across to the opposite shore,
And called on the Chinese fellows.
The people there all seemed to be cracked
For China, you know, Is fragile
And they all ate rice and hunted mice
In manner amazingly agile.
ATaDclla Atkins skipped along
On the top of the Chinese wall
Till she came on sign which read: "Pekln.'
But she couldn't peek in at all,
For n voice she knew, in tones severe,
Said: Bound the state of Maine"
No longer In China, poor Ar0bella woke,
And sighed: "Im at home again"

Cut Flowers by Mail.

Cut flowers are constantly sent
through the mails, but seldom in such
a fashion as to preserve their bloom
and freshness. To effect this, pack in
light wooden box, not using card
board; line the box with wadding OF
cotton batting, laying over this sheet
of tissue paper; then lay the flowers,
not on top of each other, but in rows
side by side, the blossoms of each row
on the stems of their neighbors; pack
closely, otherwise the flowers will be
displaced and injured in the journey.
Before packing they should stand in
water several hours in order to absorb
moisture enough to keep them from
withering 1t is not well to sprinkle
them too heavily after they are in the
box, for without air this is likely to
produce mildew.- Hartford Courant.

Going Around the Curve.

There has been a great deal said and
written about the ease with which al
electric car rounds corner as com
pared with n cable train jerk. The
reason almost invariably given is the
way the speed of the electric car car
be regulated, but this is not entirely
the cause An expert gripman can
take his train round u curve with com.
paratively little jerking, while an eX'
pert motorman can go him one better
and round the bend so smoothly that
passengers whose minds are occupied
in reading or conversation do not
notice the turn at all. The secret con-
sists in keeping the train compact or in
having the rear car well up to the
motor. This applies equally to steam
railroads. An old-time engineer well
acquainted with the tracks ran round a
dangerous curve safely at speed
several miles in excess of what a
stranger could get round it, If the
brake is applied brislSly just at the
curve and the car or cars forced up in
bunch as it were there is neither
rocking nor iolting. But if they are
hauled round with the coupling com.
paratively loose the passengers are
liable to be shaken if not alarmed

Just For Fun.

"Just for fun" said Harry, as he
cracked his whip around old Whitey's
legs, making the good horse start aud
plunge throwing Aunt Betty against
the dash board and breaking several of
the eggs in the basket she was carrying
to u sick neighbor.
OF course Harry was sorry; but that
very afternoon, just for fun, he threw
stones among the ducks along the
brook-side, until he struck one and
broke it's leg. And then he was sorry
again as he saw the poor thing limp
painfully after the others,
When he pulled Katie's curls until
she cried and slipped away Neds chair,
giving him hard fall, it was just for
fun.
But the fun which gives pain to others
is a very poor, mean kind of sport

Marjorie in the Country.

Little Marjorie is Boston girl, and
in the summer she went to the country
to pass the hot months with her Uncle
Ira. OF course she was interested in
everything about the farm, and her
questions made her uncle laugh heart
ily, until she asked about three hun
dred and then they began to pail.
Here is the way she began: Are you
going to harness the oxen now, Uncle
Ira? What makes them have wooden
brides? Sometimes why don't you
drive the big pig in the cart Uncle Ira?
Don't the pigs ever take any bath?
When do the thistles be ready TO NOW?
What makes this catnip priclSle my fin
gers so? ct is "a nettle.) Uncle Ira,
why don't there be any beefsteaks up
here in the country? Don't you have
any markets? What makes you have n
bunting sheep, Uncle Ira? What makes
only the bunting sheep have horns?"
About this time Uncle Ira ceased to find
the questions funny, and began to an
swer them with mere grunts. Golden

Needless Marriages,

Tie young man and woman-even
tho igh somewhat thoughtless--if they
We're to build house for their occu-
pancy, would be reasonably careful to
see that the place where they were to
live was suitable for such purpose.
Yet the young man and young woman
will enter into the marriage state with
utter heedlessness. They take each
other for better Jr for worse, and, like
the man said of his wife, both may be
a great deal worse than thoyS were

Beulah was out when Amy arrived.

she simply said:
"Well, upon my word, Amy! That is

"I-I really don't know" Amy re-

Beulah stared and went up to look

doctor was with him, and nurse whom
Amy had got somewhere.
Beulah looked at the pale face, with
its regular features and close-cut, curly
brown hair, and she uttered an ex-
clamation of surprise.
Amy was coming upstairs. She

by the shoulders.

around. "Do you know who that is
