"Mother's Making Mince PIesi.

mothers making mince fiesI'
There's little white cottage at the bend Of
the road
Where in summer wisteria blooms,
Where the roses run riot around the abode
And fill with sweet fragrance the rooms
But the children who live in the little white
lodge
Scent as far as the village with cries
Another aroma, then scamper and dodge
Hurry upi Mothers making mince piesl"
And up the red serpentine path they will race,
Pink, breathless, diskeveled the four,
Till great whiffs of molasses cloves citron and
mace
Greet them all at the old kitchen door.
And there, mid a scene of brown sugar and
meat,
Mid apples and raisins and salt,
Stands mother, fast trimming the dough deft
and fat
As she signs for the hungry to halt
And some feathery gossip has certainly told
The birds in tho branches and caves
For group Of them lnger, audaciuus and
bold,
Pretending to peck Mt some leaves.
And one little gray priest with the voice Of q
thrush,
But two orb5 of inquisitive size,
Has lit on the mat, and he seems to say
'Hush
I've been told mother making mince piesl''
Not minute too soon for the children who
wait,
And the birds hopping round on the stones,
Swing the oven doors creaking as loud the
gate.
Then, oh, dear, what susceptible groans!
The steaming hot pastry, brown. falky and
light,
Elicits great jumping and cries,
And the four little turnovers pop out Of sight,
Making ready for mothers mincc piesl

Captain Whelin was an excellent yolu,.
teer officer, and because OF this at the close
of our late war he received lieutenant a
commission in the regular army and since
then has won his way to the command of n
company.
Captain Whelin is an Irshman, and like
all his countrymen he dearly loves Joke.
Some time since the captain was stationed
In far western fort, which was com.
manded by Major Phipps of the same regi
ment.
The major is martinez, and his personal
| dignity and self Importance are 80 mark ed
as to make him an object of ridicule when
his back Ia turned and an object of con
tempt at all times.
Captain Whelin, like all his brother Of
fcers, cordially dislikes the major and let's
slip no opportunity Of taking him down
when 1t can be done without visitation Of
military discipline, The captain had been
to Leavenworth, where there is home for
disabled volunteer soldiers, and on his re-
turn he met the major at the Post club
where the latter was telling how he had
won battles which others claimed the glory
of. Suddenly Whelin said,
II saw a man over at Leavenworth who'd
give the world to kick YOU"

mand his name, STRIP

A small boy is the author of the fol-
lowing unique dissertation on the SUBJ
ject, 1.-THE House Cat"
The house cat is four legged quad
ruped, the legs as usuerl being at the
corners. 1t is what is sometimes called
a tame animal though it feeds on mice
and other birds of prey. Its colors are
stripped tortusshell, black, also black
and white and uthers. When it is happy
it does not bark but breathes through
its mouth, but l can't remember the
name they call the noise. 1t is little
word but l cant think of it, and it is
wrong to copy. Cats also NOW, which
you have all herd. When you stroke
this tame quadruped drawing your hand
along its back, it cocks its tail like q
ruler, so us you cant get no further.
Never stroke the hairs acrost as it makes
all cats scrat like mad. Its tail is about
too foot long, and its legs about one
each. Don t teeze cats, firstly it is wrong
so to do, and second cats have claweses
which is longer than people think. Cats
have nine liveses, but which is seldom
required in this country because of Chris
tianity. Men cats are allus called Tom,
and girl cats Puss and Tiss, but queer
as you may think all little cats are
called kittens, which oughter to be
changed. This tame quadruped can see
in the dark, so rats stand no chants,
much less mice

Taken altogether, the lot of the um-

Engraving on Eggs.

Here is an experiment pretty and
simple. Write upon the eggshell
with wax or varnisb, or simply with
tallow, and then immerse the egg in
some weak acid, such, for example,
as vinegar, dilute hydrochloric acid,
or etching liquor. Wherever the var
nish or wax has not protected the
she'll the lime of the latter is decom-
posed and dissolved in the acid, and
the writing or drawing remains in re-
lief.
A few precautions must be taken in
order to be successful at the first ex-
pertinent. In the first place, as the
eggs that are to be engraved are us
ually previously blown, so that they
may be preserved without alteration,
it is necessary before immersing
them in the acid to plug up the aper-
ture in the extremities with bit Of
beeswaX.
AS the eggs are very light they
must be held at the bottom of the
vessel full of acid by means of a
thread fixed to a weight. or wound
round the extremity of a glass rod.
If the acid is much diluted, the oper-
alton, though it takes little longer,
gives better results. Two or three
minutes usually suffice to give charac-
| tiers that have sufficient relief

"The Battle Cry of Freedom. =

At an entertainment given in Chi
cago recently, which consisted of
illustrated war songs, DR.. George f.
Root sang his celebrated song, 1.-THE
Battle Cry of Freedom" The Chica-
go Herald says: When the applause
died away the doctors son, Fred, an
nounced that his father would sing
his greatest song, ''The Battle Cry of
Freedom" and said he wished the
audience to join in the chorus. In a
voice of wonderful resonance and
clearness for one rs years old, the
silvery-haired veteran began:
Yes, we'll rally round the flag boys
Wen rally once again.
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
We will rally from the hillside
Wen gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
And full 5, 600 voices answered back:
The union forever.
Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitor.
Up with the star.
While we rally round the flag boys, rally
once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
Men sprang to their feet and hur-
rahed as they used to do at the news
from the front, thirty odd years ago;
women alternately waved their hand
kerchiefs and wiped their eyes.
Away up in the balcony stalwart
militiaman Numbered on above the
din, ''Three cheers for George Z.
Root" and the tiger m ust have
sounded like an explosion to the peo-
pie out in Congress street who
couldn't find their way into the hall.
Again and again DIR. Root bowed his
thanks and then he picked his way
back to his box and told how he wrote
the song in Chicago thirty four years
ago, words and music, in his little
music-store opposite the courthouse.
How the ink was scarcely dry when
the Lombard brothers-the great
singers of the war-came in for some
thing to sing at war song meeting
to be held Immediately in the court
house square.
They went through the new song
once and fastened to the steps of the
courthouse, followed by a crowd that
had gathered while the practice was
going on. Then julie Hubbard S
wonderful voice gave out the song
and Frank Lumbard's trumpet tones
led the refrain, and at the fourth
