MINNIE MADDERN FISKE

Luring Minnie Madden Fishes
teur last season the enthusiastic
encomiums of the leading critics
w~re supplemented In several of
the larger cities by editorial ex-
pressions in leading newspapers.
This, it viii be admitted, was an
unusual tribute TO native stage
genius. One of the leading Yves
tern journals for instance, said
eiitorially:
"a short time ago we called at
tention to the presence in this
city Of an eminent actor and &C
tress from \ foreign country and
spoke of the good they had done
in uplifting the stage as al edu-
Gator and in devoting their great
abilities to the portrayal of plays
and characters worthy of intelii-
gent study. We found our justif-
cation for thus speaking of these
visitors in thc belief that any eff
fort of pre-eminent excellence TO
rescue the stage from its down
ward tendency is worthy of notice
and of praise. We now have the
pleasure of repeating that senti-
ment in connection with the ap-
pearance Of Minnie Madden
Fiske, another player, and this
time an American. Genius knows
no sex, as its achievements know
no bouuds, and whether it appears
IN the pulpit, in the workshop, in
the lecture room, or on the stage,
it should alike be recognized, al
ways provided that its aim is the
teaching of higher things. That
being true, the performances oi
this actress take on value worthy
of more than ordinary attention
for Mrs. Fiske is genius"
What was said last season o
Mrs. Fiske will probably be re
peated this season with emphasis
In her new play "The Right Il
Happiness" she is reported tt
have the best vehicle for the dis
play of her genius yet placsd il
her hands.

The new girl was treasure, and the
mistress of the house is still quaking
over the narrow escape she had from
losing her the other day.
Ion the morning of the day upon
Which her wages became due her mis-
tress requested her to step into the
study, where her master was waiting
to pay her. In a few moments she
rushed from the study to the kitchen,
where she had left her mistress, and in
less time than it takes to narrate had
given the astonished lady notice that
she was going to leave.
But whatever is the matter, Mary?"
inquired her mistress. What has your
master said or done to annoy you?"

A pretty little incident is that told
by Miss Edgeworth, in her recently pub
lished correspondence, of an old peas
ant of her acquaintance, Robin Woods,
who was very sick, very old, and fast
approaching his end. She went to see
him and found him in bed, CHEEKY and
accomplishing, enjoying the society of
his pet bird, a robin redbreast, which
futtered contentedly about the room,
entirely at liberty and entirely at home.
The old man was about to have a
meal, and as he took his bowl of milk
and potatoes the bird, which had
perched on the foot of the bed, hoped
eagerly along its masters body from
his foot upward, sure of share in the
feast. She thought the sight pretty
one and said to the invalid, looking
from one robin to the other: You seem
very happy together" yes" was the
quaint answer, AS the old fellow smiled
gratefully at his companionable little
namesake, 1--WE was that, ever since we
WAS married."-Youth's Companion.

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.
Now Is the Time to Clean and Store
Them Away Under Shelter.

Now that the greater part of the sea-
sons work is finished, it will be & good
plan TO gather up all of the implements,
plows, harrows, cultivators, mowers,
rakes, binders and all such tools and
store them away under shelter. 1t is
not only necessary to get them under
shelter, but to store them away in
good condition. If left exposed to the
weather considerable damage will be
done by rain, sun, wind and snow. If
proper care is not taken in storing
away, considerable injury will be done
TO the iron and steel from rust, and to
the woodwork by decay. The dirt
should all be cleaned off. If allowed
to remain on, as is often done, it will
increase the conditions for decay.
Clean off the dirt of every kind, washing
ii necessary, and then paint well. Lin
seed oil and Spanish brown, red ver-
million or red ochre mixed to proper
consistency makes not only a cheap
paint but a durable one, and it will
pay to keep the woodwork of all the
implements and the wagons covered
with it.
Black asphaltum paint is best for the
iron and steel except the working parts
the share and mold-boards of thu
piows, the sickles of the mowers ard
parts of this kind that need to be kept
bright. These should be well oiled
all over or covered with unsalted grease
and then covered with thick white
wash into which small quantity of
glue has been stirred. This will prevent
rust and save much time in getting the
implements in condition for work in the
spring.
The work of cleaning and painting
can be done better now than at any
other time, and the tools will be all
the better for it. Some time IN the
spring can be saved if little care is
taken in storing them away. Put the
implements like the mower, binder and
hay rake in first, and the pillow, cult
yator and harrow that will be needed
first in the spring, last. This will
save overhauling in the spring. If the
tool shed has no floor, put boards under
the wheels and under every part OF
the machinery that comes directly
upon the ground.
Shelter for the machinery, and put.
ting away in good condition will
pay as well as good sheltering of the
Atock. Summer sun and rain are al
most, if not quite, as injurious as win
ter wind and storms.--St. Louis Re-
public.

nail rough boards, as shown in the cross
secvtion in Fig. 1. This will hold the
heaped-up earth in place till the sod is
applied, and thereafter will give great
fi1mness to the terrace until nature so
compacts all the materials as to make
slipping impossible, as shown in Fig. 2.
There is shown in this cross-section
an excellent point in applying turf to
terraces. The end of the roll is begun on
the level top of the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
thus giving no open crack at the upper
edge, where an opening is specially
detrimental to the well-beinR of ter
race. AS sharp and distinct an edge can
be made in this way as where the OPEN
ing comes at the edge, while the results
of the former practice are far superior.

"Good-by. mamma" he said-"good-by!"
He thought his mother then would cry.
She only said: you going, dear?"
And didn't shed a single tear.

She does not care if l do go.
But Bridget does. She'll have to fill

But Bridget only said: We'll. boy,
You off for sure? 1 wish you joy
And Sammy's little sister Kate,
Who swung upon tho garden gate,
Said anxiously, as he passed thro':
'"To-night whatever will you do
When you can't get no 'lasses spread

Then poor Sammie homeward ran.
Quick thro' the alley-way he sped.
And crawled in thro' the old wood-shed.
The big chip-basket he did fill;
He BACKED his shoes up with will;
He washed his face and combed his hair;
He went up to his mothers chair
And kissed her twice, and then he said:

WATCHING THE FISH.

and putty, taking pains to fill all the
cracks. This is necessary to make the
box watertight.
In day or two your waterscope will
be dry enough for use. On some bright
sunny afternoon push your boat out on
the lake or stream where you wish to
experiment. Thrust the glass end of
the waterscope we'll under the surface
of the water and place your eye at the
other end. You will find that you can
see through the water with great dis
tinctness, often to the hiding places of
fish among those forests of the lake
bottoms, the seaweeds. The object of
the waterscope is to cut through the
disturbed surface of the lake where
your boat stands, and also to protect
your eyes from the reflection of the sun
like telescope, and you cannot see to
the bottom where the water is very mud
dy or where it is very deep.
But you will be astonished at what
Ii fairyland of beauty the waterscope
will reveal along the edges of some of
our clear lakes on sunny day. Often
you can see a big clam, with his mouth
wide open, waiting for his dinner to
drop into it, or a lazy pickerel or a
sunfish resting near the bottom, and
sometimes you will see lost objects of
various kinds, including trolling hooks
and lines and other things of a similar
nature. The writer once knew a man
who found watch he had dropped into
the lake by means of waterscope.-

WHERE FISHES SWIM.
This Tells How Any Bright Boy Car

This Tells How Any Bright Boy Can
Make Waterscope.
If you go to the lakes or to the sea-
shore this summer you should take a
waterscope along with you.
A waterscope is device which will
enable you to peer down to the bottom
of lake or stream and see the sea-
weeds, with the fish resting among
them. Any boy can make one of them
very easily, and he can have no end of
fun using it.
The waterscope consists of a long,
narrow box, covered at one end with
Tlass-ordinary window glass. To make
it get four pieces of smooth, straight
grained pine wood, one-quarter of an
inch in thickness, 20 or "a inches long
and 21a inches wide. Have these pieces
made true and exact in measurement
Carefully tack them together with
brads in the form of long box. 1t may
he well before joining them to daub on
L. little white lead paint, SO as to make
the joints watertight. Now cut piece
of glass the size of one end of the long
box. You can readily cut glass with an
old pair of shears by holding it under
water. Fasten this piece of glass to the
end of the tube by means of few small
Hacks driven close to its edges. Then
putty it carefully round, and, when the
putty is thoroughly dry, paint the box

races. They are an abomination in the
sight of good landscape gardening; and
as for three terraces, one above an
other-well, words fail me fifty to
characterize such atrocious mutilation
of the "old sod"
In making a single terrace, it is a
somewhat difficult matter to make a
loose bank of earth remain in place
until the sod is applied, and even after
the sod is in place any pressure on the
top of the terrace is likely to cause the
whole upper edge to slip off. To pre-
vent this trouble, drive two or three
rows of stakes along the extent of the
proposed terrace, and to the upper part

TALK WITH WASHINGTON.


HOW brave Little boy net the Gre3S
American Commander.
In st. Nicholas Sara King Wiley has
a romance of the American revolution
entitled Maurice and His Father" A
brave little English lad is separated
from his father and falls into the hands
of the Americans. His father after
wards embraces the patriot cause and
his son is restored to him through the
medium of Washington, as shown in
the following extract:
Maurice was informed that Gen.
Washington was there showing the
works to Gen. Lafayette, and his heart
began to flutter and thump within him.
Barney was sitting beside him, look
ing at his master with bright and low
ing eyes, his little black nose culver
ing.
Barney" said the boy, ''we're afraid,
but we're not going to stop if we are"
And, picking up the dog, he took his
way through the rustling leaves that
lay like heaps of gold towards the house
which one of the soldiers. from whom
Maurice ventured to ask for directions,
had pointed out to him.
Yes, Gen. Washington is there and
alone" he was told.
Could he see him?
"Sure, no, We little bye" said the
Irish sentry. Its wore out the poor
