The Love of Country.

There are not wanting those who
sneer at love of country as narrow and
provincial. But we think it will be
found, as a rule, that the man who has
no love for his own country and his
own people, as distinguished from all
the world, does not entertain very much
regard for humanity in general. True
patriotism-not the spurious kind that
says: Thou shalt love thy neighbor
and hate thine enemy" but that which
upholds, defends and makes much of
home and country-promotes rather
than diminishes worldwide sympa-
thies. There are no more devoted pa
triots than the consecrated American
missionaries who spend their lives in
service for foreign lands. Our young
people should be instructed TO associate
their celebration of Independence day
with love Of country, and to learn les
sons of patriotism from those who on
this day pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor to wrest
the nation from foreign yoke. The
independence thus nobly won is
precious inheritance, they should be
taught, because it has permitted the de-
vclopment on American soil of institu-
tons which have blessed not us alone,
but all the world besides.-N. y. Ex-
aminer.

Chimney a. Game Traps.

In North Dakota there are many
farmers from Russia, and as nearly as
possible they build their houses asin the
fatherland-low and broad with big
freplaces and chimneys. Being wide,
the chimneys catch lot of snow, and
in time look like funnel-shaped cones,
the walls of which are rendered icy by
the alternate influence of the heat be-
low and the cold above. This leads to
curious results. Jack rabbits, coyotes
and such small animals prowling
around on a cold night and seeking,
warmth, get close to these chimneys,
and down they slide into the big fire.
place. This creates great rumpus,
but there seems to be no help for IL I'M
less the farmers build smaller Chin
neys, and that he will not do until he
forgets how he lived in Russia.

FLOATING TOWARD JAPAN.

ed his strange cruiser by word and
hand toward the land where stood the
astonished ambassador gazing at him.
When the strange little rider reached
the shore he dismounted, and the at
tendants of the ambassador came for
ward to meet him. Their lord had COM
manded that they take up the manly
little fellow and bring him before him.
And, behold, around the child's neck
there was label, upon which was writ
ten: "The japanese Ambassadors
Child"
"Oh, yes!" he exclaimed, at must be
my child, and no other, whom it's moth
er, angry at having received no letters
from me, must have thrown into the
sea. But there is strange bond al
ways, which unites fathers to their
children, and he has reached me safely,
riding upon fishs back"
The air of the little creature went
to his heart and he took and tended
him most lovingly. To the care of the
next embassy that went to the court
of China he intrusted letter for his
wife, in which he informed her of all
the particulars, and she, who had quite
believed the child to be dead, rejoiced
at his marvellous escape.
The child grew to be man, and. as
he had been saved by fish, he was
given the name of Fishhare.

81 suppose wouldn't be allowed to
sing that in New York;" exclaimed
Betty, turning round and catching a
sign of the captains disapproval in his
look.
"By no means, Miss Betty" was the
reply. THE author of that doggerel
will stretch hemp one of these days"
when you catch the hare, captain,
not before" laughed the girl. 'By the
way, the author of that song is doing
some good in the ranks just now, and
Washington has made him lieutenant
for bravery on the battlefield, and you
don't kill prisoners, believe"
"Sir Henry Clinton might break the
rule in the bard's case" was the quick
rejoinder, and then Betty ran her fin
gers over the keys again and sang n
love ditty which put her guest in the
best of humor.
The ballad ended. Betty Logan ex-
cused herself and left the parlar.
ut seems to me that she might be
tanned" passed through Capt. Lees
mind. "The girl is a real jewel and
would make an excellent wife. So her
friend Capt. James is enjoying the
delicacies of prison fare. Isuppose that
she doesn't know that am, in part, re-
sponsible for his change of fortunes;
but all's fair in love and war, and il l
do not fail Miss Betty may sing none
but loyal songs in the near future. l.
wonder IL that fellow attended prompt
ly to nv horse?"
The British captain was on the eve
of rising when Betty again appeared in
the doorway and announced dinner.
She had made little change in her
toilet and looked prettier than ever,
and Capt. Lee, with an appetite sharp
ened by his ride from the city, to say
nothing Of the wait in the parlor, rose
with alacrfty.
The dining-room was tastefully
trimmed with flowers and evergreen,
the work of which Betty ascribed to her
maid, Polly, and Polly, blushing to the
tips of her fingers. as it seemed. ac-
knowledged the compliments with
confused courtesy.
Betty poured the tea as she chatted
away and Polly was near by to see
that Capt. Lee as her mistress guest
wanted for nothing.
The table was sprcnd with the deli
cacies of the season, which told Capt.

A PICTURE OF BEADS.

pink, as are those of most white ami
mails, but they are as black as any SPUR
rers could be. So my girl cousins call
him Beads"
When an animal belonging to
species commonly dark in color is born
white instead, it is called an "albino."
You have all seen albino rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes are pink.
So that Beads is really most uncom-
mon fellow, snowy squirrel with jet
black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate
most winning little pet, and there is no
end to his pretty ways. AS a cat and
kitten live with the same family, he
has to be kept in squirrel-cage; but
he is let out n long time each day. Then
Beads is quite happy. He climbs up the
back of the chair and nibbles the hair
of the person seated in it, gnaws the
flowers in the window-sill, rushes up
the stems of the callas, and scratches
in the earth until it flies on all sides.
He will rub his head and face and all
white dress is sight to behold. After
that he hops to the floor and rubs hi.
face carefully upon the carpet.
He loves to retire to a corner or under
piece of furniture for his toilet, going
in gray and coming out white. If you
peep and watch him, it is great fun,
for he scrubs and combs himself with
his paws in the neatest way, washes his
face just as cat does, and then takes
his big tail in his paws and uses it for
a towel! One often hears people won
der why squirrels have such big tails.
All know that they are useful as bal
ancing poles and blankets, and are
charming as ornaments, but not many
are in Beads secret of their usefulness
as towels.

officer as he came on and took his out
stretched hand without show oil
treachery.
Though we differ about the war
Capt. Lee" said she, in her sprightly
manner, II cannot help asking you for
the latest news from the front"
There is but little to communicate
There has been no set engagement of
late; the two armies seem to be plan
ming for position, and it is doubtful If
battle will come off for some time"
THAT is good. do not like to hear
of bloodshed. 1t is bad enough in this
part of the country between the for
ayers, but when large armies meet in
deadly conflict il is much worse. Still"
and her eyes seemed to sparkle, 'we
cannot gain our independence without
some bloodshed."
Capt. Lee smiled.
81 will never be able to convince you.
I see," he said. Like Ephraim, Miss
Betty, you are joined to your idols"
YES, captain. to the idols of liberty
and prosperity for America. You must
admit that you find our soldiers men
difficult to conquer. When people fight
for their homes and native land they do
not give up the struggle without terri
BILE contest"
"But in this case they are rebellious
and the king will not stop short of their
entire subsection"
The young girls gaze wandered from
the room, and for little while seemed
to rest on the bushes on the lawn.
Suddenly, however. she turned again
to the officer and said:
"One of my friends has had the mis-
fortune to become prisoner of war;"
Indeed, Miss Betty" exclaimed
Capt. Lee, in the most innocent manner
possible. "But that is one of the vicis-
STUDIES OF war. Your friend must put
up with it and consider that imprison-
ment is far better than being left on the
battlefield"
81 do not doubt that, but confine-
ment to Capt. James is irksome, to say
the least"
The British officer seemed to start
little at mention of his rivals name.
"Capt. James is confined in New
York." continued Betty. "IIe was cap
tured in skirmish and Hurried thither.
Exchange is hardly to be thought Of,
you know, since our people do not hold
AZ prisoner an officer of equal rank"
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1897-07-03

The imprisonment of Capt. James
would naturally interfere with the
pleasures of the coming day, but when
the morning of the Fourth came there
were no traces of regret on the fair
| rebels face.
At ten o'clock Peter, who had been
sent to certain point from which the
road leading to New York was visible
for long distance, came back with q
broad grin on his face.
II was thinking, Miss Betty, what n
nice thing it would be if we could just
contrive to exchange Capt. Nolan for
Capt. Lee"
The girl seemed to start.
what nonsense, Peter!" she ex-
claimed. Whatever put that idea into
your head?"
1T just walked in" smiled the man.
"You see, they're equal in rank and"
Captains BOTH" broke in the girl,
looking across the porch from the open
door. "These Utopian schemes don't
always come out successful"
very well, just give it for what it
is WORTH" and Peter bowed himself out
of the girls presence, and Betty was
alone again.
what good guesser Peter isl she
smiled to herself. Surely have not
betrayed myself, and no one, hope,
has let the cat out of the bag. I'll just
give Peter credit for good guessing,
that's ALL" and she went to her bou-
doir to dress for the officers reception

JAPANESE FAIRY TALE.

The Story of Little Fishhnre and His
Remarkable Journey.
This little story of Fishhare is taken
from "Child Life in Japan" which con-
tains many others of these quaint little
tales.
There was once upon time little
baby whose father was japanese am
bassador to the court of China and
whose mother was . Chinese lady.
While this child was still in it's in
fancy the ambassador had to return
to Japan, so he said to his wife: II
swear to remember you and to send
shall succeed me, and as for our baby
l will dispatch some one to fetch it
as soon as it is weaned."
Thus saying he departed. Well, en-
bassy after embassy came, there was
generally year between each, but
never letter from the Japanese hus-
band to the Chinese wife, who at last,
tired of waiting and grieving, took her
boy by the hand and, sorrowfully lead
ing him to the seashore, fastened
around his neck label bearing the
words: The japanese Ambassadors
Child"
Then she flung him into the sea, in
the direction of the japanese archipel-
ago, confident that the paternal tie was
one which it was not possible to break
and that therefore father and child
were sure to meet again.
One day when the former ambassa-
dor, the father, was walking by the
beach of Nauiwa, he saw something
white floating out to sea, looking like
small island. 1t fioated nearer and
he looked more attentively. There was
no doubt that the strange object was
child. Quite astonished he stopped
and gazed again. The floating object
drew nearer and nearer still, and at
last with perfect distinctness he per-
ceived it to be fair, pretty little boy
about four years old impelled on
ward by the waves.
The little boy was riding on the back
of an enormous fish. He was not at
all afraid, but sat up bravely, and guild

While RED SQUIRREL.
a Queer Little Pet Belonging to some

New Jersey Girls.
DIR. Emily G. Hunt, in st. Nicholas,
describes the following interesting pet:
Some girl cousins of mine living in
New Jersey have an odd pet. 1t is
white red squirrel.
You have all seen red squirrel
"chickarees" they call them, from the
sounds of their chattering and scolding,
as they drop nutshells on your head.
or run down a tree-trunk by fits and
starts, giving little "chick" with each
forward rush, while they watch you
sharply.
Our little pet is like one of these in
every way, except that he is so snowy
