THE LITTLE BROWN WREN.


There's a little brown wren that has built in
our tree
And she's scarcely as big as a big bumblebee.
She has followed a house in the heart of a
limb
And made the walls tidy and made the floor
trim
With the down Of the crows foot, with tow
and with straw,
The coolest dwelling that ever you saw.
This little brown wren has the brightest Of
eyes
And a foot OF a very dfminutive size.
Her tail is as trig as the sail of n ship.
She's demure, though she walks with a hop
and a skip,
And her voice-but a flute were more fit than
q pen
To tell of the voice of the little brown wren.
One morning Sir Sparrow came sauntering by
And cast on the wren's house an envious eye.
With a strut Of bravado and toss Of his head.
III put in my claim here" the bold fellow
said.
So straightway he mounted on impudent wing
And entered the door without pausing to ring.
An instant-and swiftly that feathery knight,
All towsled and tumbled, in terror took fight,
While there by the door on her favorite perch,
As neat as a lady just starting for church,
With this song on her lips. HE will not call
again
Unless he is asked sat the little brown wren.

A Baby at the North Pole.

When Lieutenant and Mrs. Peary left
for the north pole some time ago, they
took with them, besides good things to
eat and plenty of fur robes, a little tin
bathtub and a baby's cradle. Besides
these there were ever so many baby's
dresses and some little knitted shoes,
which looked as if they would fit a little
boy very much smaller than you are.
A baby's wardrobe and a cradle are
queer things to take to the north pole,
are they not? And what do you sup
pose that they are for? Why, for a baby,
to be sure! Suppose, way up at the
north pole, where nobody has ever been,
that Mrs. Peary should find a baby! And
suppose that the baby had no clothes and
no one to take care of it! Think what a
sad thing it would be! Now, if Mrs.
Peary finds such a baby at the north
pole she can dress it in nice little dresses
and can rock it to sleep in a little cradle.
And when she returns to this country
two years from now, she will bring thu
baby along, and then you will all say,
elbow very fortunate that those clothes
and that cradle went along"-New York

ing in an enfeebled condition the young
man from East Oakland decided upon
drowning some of the little fellows, and
was in the act of carrying out his inten-
lions when a neighbor suggested that he
place some of the puppies in the al of
a cat that was nursing a number of kit
tens in his back yard.
1.-THE suggestion was acted upon. Nc
Ellicott took two Of the sucking terriers
from their mother and consigned them
to the care of the cat after the latter's
progeny, with the exception of one cute
little kitten, were stolen and drowned.
Now, the strange feature resulting
from the experiment of raising thorough
bred terriers under a foster mother is
that the two little GROWERS are more
fancied by the feline rat catcher than is
her own little kit, which chums side by
side with the terriers under the watch

which the cat is known by.
"McEllicott stated" continued Mr..
Briggs, "that the puppies which the cat
is nursing are much stronger and in far
better condition physically than the ones
which Ire being nursed by their moth

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centerS, located In or near
the base Of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also ~deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis Of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by tho injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centerS will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
-TwO-thirdS OF chronic diseases are duo to
The imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base OF the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
Dr.. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist,h has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dizziness, confusion. pressure. blues.
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, st.
Vitus dance, ETC.. are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact thatitis based on the foregoing principle.

A Wicked Boys Hot Day Joke.

A woman who lives in the suburbs of
Brooklyn usually places a large tin pan
on her front doorstep to receive the ice
that the iceman delivers to her each
morning. During a recent hot spell her
little grandson, who is full of mischief,
thought that he would play a joke on his
grandmother. The next morning, when
the pan was put on the step, he filed it
partly with water and then yelled "I-c-er'
It was nearly five minutes before the
grandmother started to take the ice into
the house. She was surprised to find
that the ice had melted so quickly.
Meantime the iceman had come and saw
no pan for the ice. He did not leaveth
usual piece, and the grandmother was
telling her neighbors of the unusual heat
until the other day when the young
hopeful told his big brother about the
joke he played.-New York Sun.

A Picture of Mrs. Leasc.

There Were cries for Mrs. Lease. She
was not down for a speech, but she re-
sponded in an eloquent manner, for
she is eloquent. Her style is manly, her
voice manly; everything about her ex-
cept her appearance is manly. AS for
her appearance, she is in that rather
womanly. She dresses in plain black,
with but a gold chain to relieve it's So
briefly. Her hair, dark brown, is parted
on the side III front. The characteristics
of her face are Il high forehead, small:
but brilliant eyes, u large nose and u
strong chin, ending in nigh cheek bones.
When she is speaking, she stands very
erect and gesticulates Frequently with a
full arm movement, adding thereby a
great deal of imprc8siveness to her
words. Sylvan Beach Cor. Syracuse

Settled Over a Prosperous Church.

The Rev. Eugenia st. John, a regular
ly ordained minister of the Methodist
Protestant church, has been employed
as pastor of the Gordon Place church,
Kansas City. Mrs. st. John is regarded
as one of the ablest ministers in that de-
nomination. She has had charge of a
church at Emporia for several months
and recently has made frequent visits to
Kansas City to preach at Gordon Place
church. Her sermons have proved SO
satisfactory that it has been decided to
retain her as the regular pastor.

The Sensible Girl of the Period.

The fin de steele girl has tabooed tight
lacing. She no longer possesses an IS
inch waist, but is proud to acknowledge
that her waist measures 90 inches. In
the matter of gloves and shoes she has
also reformed-no more pointed toes
and high heels or gloves that split at the
thumb. The feminine world seems to
have given up most of its barbarous Gus
toms, earrings included, and set to work
to be comfortable and healthy. May they
long continue in these sensible IDEAS

A Misfit Quotation.

An attache of a religious bookstore in
this city has spent SO many years of his
life among theological volumes that he
is Scriptural or nothing, but he some
times evolves a misft. When his atten-
ton was called the other day to a rose
neatly attached to the lapel of his coat
and an insinuation thrown out that q
lady friend might have had something
to do with it, he paralyzed the insinuator
by saying, "No, sir; I gathered that rose
from my own vine and fig tree."-Pitts-
burg Commercial Gazette.

Hatpins Superseding Spoons.

The spoon craze has well nigh run its
course. Women who have 100 or 200
spoons of different shapes, sizes and de-
signs have turned their backs on the
fad, and now it languishes. But a new
n is springing up in its place-as silly
a fad as ever tempted the soul of woman
to extravaganza. It is the collection of
hatpins. Many of these pins would
serve for daggers, It's true, but the use
fitness of the dagger is after all circum-
scribed. 1t would perhaps be just as
well if the hatpin craze were runctured
with one of its own weapons.-Exchange.

Looking In Mothers Eyes.

Pierre and Maurice are French chill
dren. Pierre is the elder brother. 1t
never has occurred to him to be jealous
of the last conner, Maurice, or to be trou-
bled about "his nose being out of joint"
He is very fond of his small brother
and seems to feel it his duty to see that
he is never neglected or forgotten.
One day he was looking lovingly in his
mothers face, when he happened to
glance at her right eye, and to his de-
light he saw his image reflected in it.
"Oh, there is Pierre!' he cried.
Then he looked eagerly into the left
eye and exclaimed in sorrow and sur
prise, "Why, where is Maurice?:"-

movement. At Sunnyside, Lincoln coun-
ty, all the women but three attended the
