THAT PRIZE PUMPKIN.

Jennie Friend was a little girl who
reached her tenth birthday only last
Summer. She was as air-headed a little
imp as ever the sur shone upon. Away
out on the Pacific coast, where Jennie
lives, the climate is very salubrious, and
fruit and vegetables grow TO immense
size; SO large, indeed, they become that
beside them the fruit and vegetables
raised in the East look like dwarfs.
Jennie was very fond of watching the
vegetation about her house, and fire.
q~uently came home and told her mamma
that she had seen plants grow, and that
even while she watched they grew
bigger and bigger. This fancy Of our
little heroine was nourished by her
parents, who set aside a part Of the
garden for her especial use. Jennie's
garden fourished until it became noted
far and wide as containing remarkably
large vegetables, fruits and flowers, even
in that country Of wonderful growth.
Near Sacramento, the town in which
Jennie lived, there was held every year
a fair, and to this all growers OF fruit
and vegetables and breeders Of horses
were invited 10 Come and exhibit their
garden and barnyard products. One
day last summer Jennie heard her parents
talking about the coming fair, and the
wonders that would be exhibited, and
her childish Imagination was stirred TO
Its depths.
For several days she was in deep
thought and her parents watched her
narrowly, fearing that something had
gone amiss with their little girl. Finally
the sunshine of smiles broke through the
cloud that had rested on her face, and
she told her parents that she was going
10 raise something for the fair.
And what ore you going to raise,
my little daughterl" asked her papa.
"A pumpkin" she said ''and it is
going TO be the biggest pumpkin ever
seen in all the State OF California"
So Jennie went 10 work in earnest TO
raise a pumpkin. She selected a spot in
her garden hat was remote from any
plant, so that her pumpkin might draw
all the nutriment from the ground.
After planting the seed she rsked the
surface Of the ground carefully and
watered II with great persistence. At
all hours Of the day the little girl could
have been seen carrying her water bucket
10 and from the well. Il was not long,
under the great care she exercised,
before the plant became responsive, and
the exertions Of Jennie were rewarded
by the sight Of a sturdy young pumpkin.
Ny how tina, pumpkin grew. II .ecmed
as IL the soil had parted with all its
wealth to give life to that single plant.
II was not long before IL reached the size
Of an ordinary pumpkin, and still it ex
banded az a rate unheard OF even in
California. II Jennie's garden had at
tracted attention her pumpkin could be
said 10 have caused a furore. For miles

A MANOR WAR ROOSTER.

Who would think that a rooster could
become a great pet on board shipi But
on the flagship Chicago" the man.of-
war which last spring travelled almost ak
thousand miles To get home for the Co
lumbar naval parade, there was a rooste-
that was the pet Of all the men on board
ship. He was bought in the West In
dies, on the way TO Montevideo, and was
intended for the Christmas dinner; but
his great ~cheerfulness, rs shown by his
hearty Growing in the most unseason-
able weather, won him his life.
After his liberty had been given TO
him. and he had become fairly tame, he
noticed one day another very proud
rooster in a polished brass ventilator
which stands on the quarter deck. He
Immediately put on his proudest air
then, noticing that the other rooster did
the same, he stepped closer TO inquire,
and soon found himself glaring pugna-
c%iously at that other fellow, who seemed
quite as defiant as himself. From looks
it came TO blows, and soon our rooster
was Indignantly fighting his own re-
Election. Occasionally he would strike
the ventilator a very hard blow with his
bill and be thrown back much astonished,
only to return TO the attack when he
noticed that his enemy apparently re
treated.
This was kept up ut intervals for
several weeks, until the rooster learned
that more hard knocks than glory were
TO be got 10y keeping up the feud. Even
now, after many months on board, he
occasionally renews the attack, but in n
half-hearted way, AS if he knew he was
doing something silly.
His name is Dick" and when there
is food ahead he answers to il like Il
gentleman. At Ensenada, in the Argen-
tine Republic, the Chicago lay alongside
the dock in the Grand Canal, and Dick
was allowed to run on shore aud pick up
what he could find. He never straycd
far from the gangway, and would come
proudly strutting back when called on
board by one of the men.
lie is n very %pugnacious bird, and in
Ensenada started a fight between a dog
and himself. The combat, witnessed by
the whole ships company, while pro
ductive OF no harm TO either side, was "A
most amusing sight, and consisted OF
dashes at the dog with occasional reaI
blows on the part of the rooster, and
much barking an running about on the
part of the dog.-ISt. Nicholas.

Improving the Eyes

1t is salts 'actory to be told by Mr.
Ellis that blindness in England is
slowly decreasing" though Great
Britain still stands in this respect behind
two other European countries, and three
more come before Ireland. Short-sight.
edness, however, appears TO be %increas-
ing everywhere, Germany having a signal
and sinister pre-emincnce in this respect.
A French doctor has noted the re-
markable fact that wild beasts caught
quite young or born in captivity become
short-sighted, the conclusion being that
the eye adapts itself to its hdbitual
sphere Of vision. and unless educated"
TO use Mr.. Ellis's term, 10 see objects at
a distance. loses the capacity Of so doing.
Even in after life the eye may be,
20 some extent, so educated, though
probably only when the myopla is not
considered.
1t is thus within the experience Of the
present writer that his sight greatly i'm
proved liz days gone 10y, when he became
a volunteer, by practice at the butts. so
that while az first he could not zee the
target TO shoot at without spectacles at a
5e0-yard range. after a twelv-month or
so he only needed TO put on spectacles at
400 yards. But beyond that range be
was never able 10 dispense with them.
Country excursions are, therefore, ex-
tremely valuable as means of strengthen
ing the sight of town-bred children. and
the conductors OF such excursions
should take pains to direct the eyes Of
the children to distant objects-to the
furthest hill. church tower or other
landmark. noting IL possible. any inca
pacity 10 discern the selected object, and
then selecting some nearer one for the
weaker-sighted.

pumpkin, and no one doubted il would
really take the prize at the fair.
Little Jennie was just like older people,
and as her pumpkin grew TO great pro.
portions she grew very proud of il and
OF her w work. She loved 70 stand AT
n side OF the pumpkin. SO that people
passing along the road could see both
her and the plant. and she imagined that
they talked of nothing else.
Pride goes before a fall.
One day Jennie was standing by her
pumpkin feeling particularly happy, for
in two days il was To be cut and carried
to the fair, and she pictured herself the
proud owner of the prize. She was lean.
ing over the pumpkin as she had often
done before while thus musing, when all
of a sudden she felt something crackle
and crumble, and she was pitched head
long into the pumpkin, which had given
way beneath her weight. She was. in
deed, a sorry sight when carried sobbing
TO her home, and refused 10 be comforted
even when her papa told her that the
next time she wanted TO win q prize she
had better raise cannon balls.-lNew
