About NJ other Goose.

All the little maids and men who have
followed the fortunes OF little Miss Muf-
fet and Dickie Oliver. who have known
Mother Hubbard and laughed at Humpty
Dumpty's misfortunes, may like TO hear
that tse Mother Goose rhymes were real
ly made for little children by dear old
lady, whose nama was Goose, who lived
with a family named Fleet that kept a
little shop in Pudding lane. Boston.
Could more appropriate place OF resi-
dence for Mother Goose be found than
Pudding lane. unless, perchance, there
be such q locality as Pie alley?
And this dear old lady used 10 sit on
the sidewalk outside the window and
make up doggerels for the little Fleet
urchins. She had sweet note I'm her soft
old voice and a way OF grooming these
rhymes and tunes that attracted all the
children In the lane. and brought much
custom to the shop indirectly. So the
shopkeeper. at the request OF his patrons.
printed the rhymes and gave them away.
and In this way the old lady became
known as Mother Goose. and her quaint
doggerel became the dearest treasure Of
nursery lore. The old lady whose yerses
one would rather have written than ali
the classics. because they have been so
greatly beloved by little children, IS
buried In the Granary Cemetery. not
far from the grave OF Paul Revere. The
stone at the head OF the grave has crum-
bled, but Wild yiolets and ferns mark
her resting place

A Talk ABOUT CERES.
She IL the Fair Goddess OF Fruits and
Corn.

Ceres, the goddess OF fruits and corn.
appears in the old NEUROLOGICAL pictures
as a woman Of majestic bearing. with a
wreath OF ripened wheat on her golden
hair, poppies end ears Of corn In her
right hand and flaming torch in her
left II was 10 her thoughtfuness and
power that men owed the art of filling
the fruitful bosom Of the earth, 50 that
they began TO eat the wholesome product
Of grain instead OF nuts and roots as do
the swine.
1t is one OF the inconsistencies Of my
thology that the so-called 'solemnities"
that were Instituted In honor OF so bere-
ficient a deity as Ceres should have been
orgies. only a little less Wild than the
festivals in honor Of Bacchus. They were
called the "Eeusinian Mysteries" and
the story Of their origin Is a strange one.
When Ceres was travcrslng the coun-
tries OF the world In search Of her daugh
ter Proserpile. who had been carried Off
by Pluto she found herself one day in
Eleusis. where King Celus entertained
her right royalty. To show her graft
tude 70 the King, Ceres took special care
Of his son TriPtolemus. upon whom she
purposed working celestial miracle.
TnptolemJs was mere baby when
Ceres arrived at mis- fathers palace.
but, strange to say. In two or three days
he had grown up TO be a tall and nand-
some young man. So marvellous a devel-
opment alarmed the boys mother. and
che watched Ceres 10 see what treatment
she was SUI jecting him TO-
Part OF this treatment was not at all
bad, and no doubt tho boy took It very
kindly. Ii consisted OF a daily diet OF
celestial food. which. Of course, had a
magical effect, so far as nourishment
was concerned. To this the mother did
not object; but the right treatment was
a terror AS soon as darkness came
the goddess covered Trip with living
Goals and kept him roasting there till
morning.
The mother found this out by peeping
into Ceres room, and when she saw the
fearful spectacle she screamed out in
terro- and threw herself into the room
TO save her boy. 1t Is a pity that the
good woman old not know more about
the peculiar ways OF the goddess. for
Ceres was only subjecting young Trip 10
the same process that the modern chem
Isl subjects gold. She did not know. how
ever, and Ceres put her TO death for
impcrtincnt curiosity.
Having carried her purifying and re-
inning process to a satisfactory conclu-
sion. the goddess adopted Trptoemus
and sent him all over the world to teach
men the use OF corn and other grain.
Her Intentions were good. you see. and

The first floor contains the Creche. a
large, airy, cheerful room, where one
hundred children may be cared for at a
time, while their mothers are out sight

this floor, Did this IS perhaps where
more interest will centre than In any
other part Of the house. II Is furnished
with chairs. like any audience room. ex-
cept that the seats are Of several differ

will be given 10 the older boys and girls

toms and important facts connected with
their history. These facts will be told
by experienced teachers and kindefgart-
ners, who will then take groups Of chill
