SIR JOHN.
The Family Cat Takes His Place at the
Table,

"Whose chair is that, Jennie?"
"Why, don't you know, Cousin Beth 2
It's Sir Johns"
''Sir john" said Beth, in surprise.
who is hep"
Beth had just come on visit to her
cousin Jennie. The family were TAX
ing their seats at the dinner table
"A high baby-chair was placed by I'm
Gle Enoch's side. This was the chair
that puzzled Beth.
There he comes now!" exclaimed
Jennie, with a laugh.
A large and handsome cat bounded
into the room. He leaped upon the
chair and sat down very gravely.
This was Sir John. The children
called him so because John by itself
was too small a name for so great a
cat.
Uncle Enoch tied a napkin about
Sir Johns neck. Sir John purred:
THANK you" very sweetly.
There was little plate before him.
A piece of fish was put into the plate,
and Sir John began TO eat. He did not
use a knife or fork, but he handled one
paw much more neatly than some chill
dren use a spoon.-Our Little Ones.

Hello, little Dago! Where's your
monkey"
Now, Dot lives in the city winters,
and knows all about the organ men
and their queer little beasts. She comes
with mamma in summer to the biggest
country town in which mamma herself
was a little girl. She had always
thought it would be fine thing to have
an organ and go about the streets gath
ering pennies. AS Uncle Ned saun-
tered off she grew very thoughtful.
Then her face frightened. She ran
down. the garden calling eXcitedly to
her little sister:
'"Mab! Nab! 1 want you! Aunt
Sarah said yesterday you were one per-
feet monkey"
Dot was just turned five, and Nab
three, but the two were almost of a
size, since Dot was a mere mite, and
Nab deliciously chubby. When lunch
time came without bringing them,

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE NOBODY MAN.

4 walked one day, long, long way,
Down to Topsy-Turvy Town,
Where it's day all night, and it's night all
day
In the Land of Upside Down.
And who do you think was walking round ?
Imagine it if you can:
In the land of Upside Down found
The Nobody Man!
His head was bowed, and he groaned aloud,
With the burden that he bore:
Misdeeds and mishaps, a wonderful crowd,
Till there seemed no room for more.
.'And why are you so heavily tasked,
On such an unequal plan?"
AS sat on a wayside seat, l asked
The Nobody Man.
He sat him nigh with doleful sigh,
And he said: ut needs must be:
What Nobody does at home so sly
Is shouldered here by me.
The slips and mishaps that are, soon or
late,
Denied by the careless clan,
In the Land of Upside Down all weight
The Nobody Man"
He passed along with a doleful song,
This overburdened wight,
And, bowed with the weight of other folks
wrong,
He hobbled out of sight;
And don't understand how it all can be,
Or why he should bear this ban,
But-well, twas a wonderful thing TO see
The Nobody Man!

marking all over should be rather small,

markings of the hen are the same as the
cock, but larger and more distinct.
They have a straight single comb and
red ear lobes. The breed is considered
hardy and profitable, and we might do
well to add it to those we already pos

SMART BLACKBIRDS.


Gen. Lew Wallace Tells a Good Story
of Their Sagacity.
Gen. Lew Wallace related an incident
which shows to a remarkable extent
the wonderful sagacity and memory of
blackbirds.
''At my home over in Charlottesville, -
said the general, 1--WE have a large num-
Der of tall trees on the lawn, and in the
course of time these trees became the
roosting place at certain times of the
year for hundreds of thousands of
blackbirds. They came in great, black
clouds, and in spite of all | could do
they refused to leave. OF course, they
were a great nuisance, and l was in de-
SPAR as to some means of getting clear
of them. 1 stood for days with my gun
firing into them of an evening and kill
ing hundreds of them, but the rest did
not seem to be sufficiently struck by
fear or grief to want to part company
witha me and my hospitality. 1 then
devised new scheme
procuring a number of Roman can
dies one evening | lighted them one by
one after dark, when the boughs of the
trees were bent low with the weight of
the croaking birds, and 1 poured the
candles into the tops of the trees at a
great rate. The sudden innovation
startled the birds as nothing had ever
Done before, and they became panic
