Public Spirit in the West

Probably nothing ever did more to
bring the East and the West together
in national sentiment than the Colum-
bian Exposition at Chicago. The whole
country was justly proud of that, ana
TO section was more ungrudging In Its
praise of it than the East. 1t was con-
ceded frankly and heartily that Chi
cago had done what would not have
been possible in New York or any other
Eastern city, making not merely
worlds fair, but worlds wonder.
Western energy and dauntless daring
were combined with a loftiness and
breadth Of artistic purpose to produce
results which would have been impos-
sible in an older civilization. As an
experienced English observer said, Not
only was it the most wonderfully beau
tiful thing of the kind the world had
ever seen, but it was likely to be the
most wonderfully beautiful that ever
would be seen; for no other nation
would ever have the audacious courage
20 do again what Chicago did" Yet
this fair was merely the sublime out
come of one Of the chief elements, IL not
the chief element, OF western progress
the public spirit of the people. They
believe in their country, are proud of
Its wonderful growth and unbounded
resources, and are determined to do
everything in their power to add to Its
fame. This spirit Is particularly strong
in Western cities, and appeals to it are
never made in vain. 1t makes possible
the establishment on a firm and endur-
ing basis Of educational and artistic
enterprises which find little cordial sup.
port in Eastern cities, and which lead
there only 4 struggling and precariOus
existence. They are supported in West,
crn cities because they win be a credit
TO the communities and will add to
their fame. 1t would be an unspeak-
able boon to Eastern cities II this pub
lie spirit could be aroused in them.~

Vegetable Toys md pon..

With some clean potatoes, some car.
rOts, parsnips and tOOthpicks a rainy
afternoon can be made SO short that
supper will come hours before it is eX-
pected. The potatoes should be small
and as knobby and queer shaped as ii
is possible to get them. The parsnips
and carrots should be washed clean and
the toothpicks should be of the cheap,
common wooden kind.
With these materials, all or part OF
them. and q couple OF knives, a whole
menagerle Of animals and whole
roomful of dolls can be made. The
toothpicks are used to join the heads,
arms, legs, etc, to the body of the
animal or doll.
The pictures showing vegetable toys
are sketches of some actually made

pictures were rather difficult to make.

Tools of Mosquitoes.


Mosquitoes carry enough different
kinds of tools around to give them the
right to belong to several trades. She
for the mosquito that does the singing
and blood drawing is always the fe-
no less than six different In
struments to pierce the skin and suck
the blood of her victim.
They are the most delicate tools imag-
Unable. and they can only be seen in
their beauty under a strong magnifying
glass When Mrs. Mosquito starts in
to draw blood she does 1t in a scientific
manner. First she takes a double
headed spear and jabs it deep in the
skin. Then she picks out one Of her
two keen lancets and enlarges the
puncture made by the spear.
If the skin is very thick and tough
she probes deeper with a drill or
needle, and if the hole is still too small
she iabs a saw In the wound and pro-
ceeis to rip out the side Of the hole un-
I'll it Is large enough and deep enough
FOR her to insert the tube of her pump.
Then she settles down for a feast. and
soon her body Is filled with the red
drink.
Mosquitoes, in spite of their bad hab
its. are interesting insects. There are
about thirty varieties Of the little pests
In the United States, and they are
found all over the earth. The eggs are
long, oval objects, and are deposited on
.he water in masses which are stuck
together by a kind of glue.
When the eggs hatch the larva, which.
Is something like worm, drops head
Grst in the water. A little air tube
which runs back on one side Of the tail
supplies the larva with air until 1t
changes to a mosquito without wings,
but supplied with a paddle tail which
permits it to skip over the water at u
lively rate. In about a month wings
grow on the body, and at last Mrs. Mos
quito rises in the air and begins to hunt
for a nice, fat boy, with lots Of good
blood in his veins

You bid me, Prince, whose tangled lyrs.
Whose wrinkled muse, of weary wing,
Has lost her early might and fire.
More readily your fond desire
Would concede and chant for you
If the fair being you admire,
If the New Woman were but New!
She is, aIasi no novel thing,
For history herself might tire,
Might faint and fall in following
Where the Old Woman did aspire!
What stellar space what mortal mire,
Has not the fair sex ventured through
Indeed. we men folk might admire,
If the New Woman were but New.
She vexes now with questioning,
Must taste, experience, inquire,
For curiosity's the spring
That sends her soaring higher and
higher,
That babe her with the snake conspife
And 10 the snake alone be true.
NNho brought oil us that heavy ire.

Unconscious Humor.

1t is not always safe to resort to Sc.

A story is told of certain lawyer.
extremely studious, but in conversat tion
notoriously dull, who was showing OF
his newly built house. The bookwOrm
pri led himself especially on a sanctum
he had contrived for his own use, 80
secluded from the rest Of the building
that he could pore over his books in pri-
vate, quite secure from disturbance.
"And this is capital" exclaimed the
visitor, with unconscious irony. "YOu

human being be one bit the wiser"

but then she had spent three Of her ten
years in a kindergarten, where she cut
out all sorts Of pretty designs in colored
paper and modelled dolls and dogs and
cows in modelling clay.
Sometimes a funny doll can be made
with potatoes without cutting or shap-
ing them at all. but 1t is more fun cut
ting the "murphies" to shape.
The horse in the picture was made
with a carrot body and potato legs and
head, and the rider was made Of po-
tatoes. The trunk Of the elephant was
made by Sitting the tip Of a carrot and
bending 1t up. and the curly tail Of the
dig was made out Of a hairpin.
There are no rules to follow in max
ing vegetable toys, for rules and regu-
lations and directions spoil the fun.
Just collect the vegetables and tooth
picks and go to work, and the dolls and
dogs and cats and elephants and pigs
and tar babies will almost grow thers-
