MUST WEAR BADGES.
Aldermen Command That PeddIers
Must Rs ragged

The Aldermen last night passed an
ordinance compelling vendors to wear a
metal badge On their coats in such a
manner that the number may be seen
by people doing business with them.
The police have recently received
complaints that vendors were defraud-
ing customers by failing oftentimes to
return their change. The badges, it
is believed, will result in vendors be-
coming more careful, as they stand
in the position of having their licenses
revoked and of being driven out of bust
ness.
Another ordinance was passed making
1t necessary for owners of business wag-
ons, trucks and carts to ave the name
and address of the owner painted
thereon. The ordinance was offered by

FUN WITH A SPIRAL.

Of wire, taking care not to make the
ligature too tight, as the second wire
should be movable. This latter should
also be finished with small ring or
loop for convenience of handling. Now
holding the ring of the axis in the left
hand, and that of the second wire in the
right, push the latter forward, and you
will see the spiral open and lengthen
itself, as in the second position illus
trated. But if before doing this you
plunge the spiral into bowl containing
soapy water, and then gently push on
the small ring, you will see each spiral
decked in frail soap bubble reproduc-
ing exactly the surface of a perfect
spiral and rejecting the most beauti-
full colors. The spiral may be worked
back and forth without injury to the
soapy membrane. The effect is both
curious and pretty.-Once O Week.

THANKSGIVING.

That fields have yielded ample store
OF fruit and wheat and corn,
That nights of restful blessedness
Have followed each new morn;
That flowers have blossomed by the
paths
That thread our working days,
That love has filled us with delight,
We offer heartfelt praise.
What shall we say of sorrows hours,
OF hunger and denial,
OF tears, and loneliness, and loss,
OF long and bitter trial2
Oh, in the darkness have not we
Seen new, Respondent stars?
Have we not learned some song of faith
Within our prison bars?
Not only for the earth's rich gifts,
Strewn thick along our way,
Her looks of constant loneliness,
We thank our God to-day;
But for the spirits subtle growth,
The higher, better part,
The treasures gathered in the soul
The harvest Of the heart.

THE CROCODILE BIRD.
1t Walks About In tho Saurian's Mouth
Picking Up Leeches.

1t Walks About In tho Saurian's Mouth
Picking Up Leeches.
A curious feature in natural history
is the favor bestowed upon the croco-
ollie by a bird bearing its name,
through removing n certain parasitic
leech vertically from the innermost re-
cesses of the saurian's mouth. In thus
acting he, in addition to performing an
invaluable service to the crocodile, OBJ
tains for himself leisurely and luxuri-
ous living.
Herodotus writes that the bird and
animal are on the most amicable terms,
the former entering the latter's mouth
and walking about with the greatest
confidence. The gentlemen of the
Smithsonian institution, however, are
disinclined to accept this belief, but
think the crocodile bird stands at a
safe distance, extracting the leeches
by thrusting it's head into the animals
mouth and again removing it before the
crocodile can close it's jaws.
The saurian during the performance
lies lazily summing itself on the bank,
with jaws wide open and seeming to
relish the relief which it obtains. 1t is
not to be believed, however, that the
crocodile's sense of obligation for the
Invaluable services rendered it would
be sufficient to deter it from making a
feast upon its benefactor should an OPP
portunity present itself.

Thanksgiving morning dawned clear
and cold without, but within the snug
home of Miss Mehetabel Brown there
was warmth and comfort. This was to
be great day in her quiet, uneventful
life. Preparations had been making for
days.

Miss Mehetabel had taken from the
upper bureau drawer in the spare bed
room that very morning sundry knitted
tides and mats, together with pair of
highly-colored and embroidered pillow
shams that never saw the light except
ing upon state occasions. These, with
a huge beaded pincushion, purchased
by Miss Mehetabel's grandmother from
genuine Indian princess, and which
now rested primly upon the old-fash-
toned dresser, showed that the occasion
usual interest.
In the snug pantry all was in readi-
ness. There were rows of mince and
pumpkin pies, tender and toothsome;
dainty preserves and jellies all ready to
"set on" while from the oven of tho
bright little range in the kitchen pro-
ceeded savory odors wondrously sug-
gestive.
Miss Mehetabel herself was arrayed
IN her best brown merino, carefully pro-
tccted by neat white apron. She had
hesitated in making her toilet between
the ordinary gold breast-pin to fasten
her linen collars and pale green rib
bon bow with white lace at the ends,
which had been her one piece of extrav-
agance at Cousin Emily's wedding.

There was a sudden knock at the

his family, followed by Mrs. Ellis and
her little flock, made as presentable as
their scanty means would allow.
All was excitement and merry talk,
and soon the quiet house rang with the
happy laughter of children.
Dinner was dispatched by and by, and
what dinner it was, to be cure never
&c be forgotten by certain empty little
stomachs.
The great matter was talked over aft
er dinner, when they were cozily seat
ed in the snug parlor. 1t was not all
news to Mrs. Ellis, for she had received
gentle hint from the little pastors
wife q few days before, and had decided,
like the brave, sensible woman she was,
to hide the pain of the parting in her
own heart and think only of the best in
