4 Youthful Yankees Ingenuity.

A boy we know had some chickens of
which he had made pets. He and his
father went to their work early in the
morning, and while the rest of the fam
lily were away for the summer it became
a question how the chickens were to be
fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion. He
took an alarm clock and fastened it Sc
curely to one side of the barn by means
Of two spikes. Next he hung a bucket
Of corn to a rafter and connected it with
the clock by a stout cord.
He wound up the alarm and set it at 4
o'clock. AT that hour the alarm went
off, wound up the string and tipped over
the bucket. And so the chickens were
fed by clockwork.-CIeveland Leader.

DICKS PRESENT HOME.


The trial came, when the young men
sever the family. Each of them was
willing that the other should take every
thing else in the fiat if they would give
Dick to him. But that was not to be
thought Of for a moment, and the young
men kept together for a month longer
than they intended in order not to be
separated from their pet.
Finally one Of the young men DELHI
erately carried Dick away and kept him
III hiding for several months, and guard
ed him as carefully as a miser watches
over his money. Then he rented the fat
in Sixteenth street, and a few nights ago
invited his former companions to see
Dick. AS he ushered his guests into the
hall they were greeted with a burst Of
music. They recognized the voice of
Dick. The moment they entered the
room where the little songster was he
flew as near them as he could and cooed
softly and ruffied his feathers gently.
There may be persons in the world
who would scout the suggestion of a
bird remembering faces for so long a
time, but there is not the slightest doubt
that Dick remembered the young men
and that he was welcoming them with
all his heart. During all the time they
were in the fat Dick sang all the old
tunes. He stopped only when n of
them spoke to him, and then he would
be silent aud cock his little head on one
side aud peep intelligently.
The young men readily accepted an
invitation to remain all night, and the
next morning before they were out of
bed they heard the magic music of the
little songster. At breakfast he hoped
on the table and Topped in all their
glasses of water in order to let them see
that all were lear to him. Before the
three visitors left the man who had stolen
Dick from them made each one promise
that he would not attempt to steal the
bird.-New York Sun.

Mr.. J. II. Harris, BurkeVillc, Va:
My DEAR Suit gives me great pleasure to
add this testimonial to the many others you
have of the valuable properties of your Min
eral Waters, especially Spring No. l. My wife
has been Il great sufferer from dyspepsia. sour
stomach and headache-in fact, she was most
suffering with one or the other, until
little town. and she commenced to drink the
water SO highly recommended of Spring No. l..
She tried Spring No. 2, but / think the water
from that was too strong for her.
Let me say that after she had used the water
one or two days she did not suffer with dys-
pepSia, sour stomach or headache the whole
time we stayed at Burkeville. She.drank the
water freely before and after each meal, and
would eat anything sue felt like. My wife's
health has been a great deal better since using
the water. Wishing you much success, and
that suffering humanity may learn of the
value of your water. | am yours truly.

Proper washing of an Infant.

Very few people look upon washing
with the Importance that it really de-
serves. They think that the hands and
face only call for special attention. The
whole body should be washed at least
once day, and in some cases may call
for twice. The water used should be
warm, and, as the infant grows, the
temperature Of the water should be re-
duced. You must remember that sweat
is coming from our skin at all times. but
it is only when we work very hard or
take brisk exercise that we are aware of
it. Now Ii is this sweat that causes the
unpleasant smell that dirty babies have,
and this same sweat helps the dirt &c
stick TO the body. If you therefore
allow your baby to remain dirty you are
running its health. The cooler the water
that you accustom the child to the more
the nerves of the skin are stimulated and
the circulation helped. Be careful to
dry the body quickly and thoroughly

A Hint About Driving.

DR.. Leahy, horse trainer, says: When
horse stops and proposes to turn around
don't resist the turn, but give him u quiet
horizontal pull in the direction he wants
to turn, so rs to carry him farther around
than he intended to go, and, if possible,
keep him going around half dozen times.
In most cases this will upset all his cal
culations, and he will go quietly on with
out much ado. If six turns will not do
give him twenty. In fact, if he will keep
on turning to your rein You are sure to
conquer, as enough turning will certainly
confuse him, and leave him at your COM
mand. If he will not turn and will back
to the rein, keep him going backward in
the direction you want TO go. He will
soon get tired of that and prefer to go
with the right end forward; but before
Jon let him 20 give him decidedly more
backing than he likes. Louis Globe

Canadian Criticism Of the United States.
The triumph Of democracy as repre-

of the nation. You can bear great pres

The Kaiser's Love of Adventure.

In one particular at least the young
emperor of Germany seeks to emulate
the example of the famous Caliph of
Bagdad. He makes practice of prowl-
ing around incognito, as if he were de-
termined to find out by means of his
own eyes and ears the will and wants Of
his people. The military people do not
fancy this sort of thing, for they are Gn
Germany, of all countries) severe stick
lers at etiquette, and they regard it as
shockingly mira dig that their sovereign
should snoop around barracks in the
darkness of night in the disguise some
times Of patrolman and sometimes Of
an officer. Another practice OF Will
Jams is to call informally upon his &C
quaintances in Berlin. At any hour of
the day or evening he is likely to make
his appearance in the house Of a friend.
and, Of course, being the kaiser, he has
to be made welcome. Herbert Bismarck
was entertaining q party of friends in
his bachelor quarters when, all Of sud-
den, the emperor walked in. A seat

graciously for his intrusion, the kai.er

look for novel ways of killing time, made
arrangements for very elaborate break
fast to be served at the road house at

order to provide the best on earth and
to not think Of the cost. He did as or

table was decorated with the costliest OF
flowers, and a mandolin orchestra was

the table and the appearance Of things
generally elected the most enthusiastic
applause. Down they sat, ready and

out the coach, and all, hungry as they
were, returned TO the city. The caterer
