the heavy pieces of silver "plunked"
into that hat was caution.
"There!" said the gentleman, hand
ing his hat to Fred, after he had been
the rounds. "Take that to your
mother, and tell her to be sure to
turn up the inside band before she
sends it back"
There was shout of laughter, fol-
lowed Immediately by the cry:
"Hark! The relief trains coming.
Didn't you hear her whistler"
Sure enough, far-away whistle
sounded up the road; and presently
long train of cars came in sight
around curve.
Mrs. Stamford, Fred, and the little
girls stood in front of the cottage,
waving their handkerchiefs to the
groups of departing passengers, who
gayly returned the salute.
"Be sure and gather up all the
wishbones, and wish with them!"
called back the jolly man who had
passed the hat.
"God bless them ALL" exclaimed
Mrs. Stamford, flushed and tired, but
happy. "Think of their paving two

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Nan, Angelina, and Mary lay mournful in
row;
Despair and grief were in their hearts,
and on their faces woe
For Saturday was moving day, and mother
dear had said,
AS she kissed them all and Rugged them
all and tucked them all in bed.
SsThat heap of broken dollies we'll leave
upon the floor;
I'm sure you'll never miss them-l'll find
you plenty more.
They're old and torn and battered up-not
one of them's complete
/ think 1 wouldn't take them to the house
on Pleasant Street.
Nan, Angelina, and Mary went sadly off
to sleep
In happy dreams they soon forgot that
melancholy heap:
But when at last in slumber sound their
tired mother lay,
She heard voice, gentle voice, that
sweetly seemed to say
ssThose children you're so fond Otis
odd you cannot see,
They're really very far from what per-
feet child should bel
There's many pretty child in town, in
case you feel inclined
To choose some pretty new ones, and let
these stay behind.
s'For Mary broke her arm, you know and
and Nan turns in her toes,
And Angelina has freckles on her funny
little nose;
They bump their heads and tear their
frocks-it's hard to keep them neat
I think wouldn't take them to the house
on Pleasant Street,"
That loving little mother, oh, she started
up in fright,
She ran to all her babies, and she kissed
and Rugged them tight.
She put her little bonnet on, and bought
pot of glue,
And when they moved to Pleasant Street,
the dollies all went too!

Plenty of Eyes.

Thirty-s ak thousand eyes in one head!
This may appear little like exag-
geration, but it is fact. Science,
backed by the microscope, says so
and science never stretches the truth;
should it do so. it would cease to
be science. Argus was tabled to
have a hundred eyes, but Argus
would be very insignificant curiosity
the insect kingdom. There are numbers
OF insects with 100 and even 500 eyes.
but when the number of optics allotted
to single insect reaches up into the
thousands, the idea is startling. Natur-
allsts have recently been engaged in the
study of this most interesting subject.
Each succe sding day brings more mar
velous results, until the astounding dis
covery has been made that the common
dragon-hy, or mosquito hawk, while
seemingly possessed of only two visual
organs, really has as many as $4,000
each of the two visible, to the ordinary
observer, being subdivided into $4,000
separate lenses, each eyelet having a
distinct nerve connecting it with the
brain, and acting entirely independently
of it's myriads of companions.
The theory most generally adopted
by scientists is, that while far superior
to the eye of higher animal life as re-
CARDS moving objects. the power of OBJ.
servation of the composite eye is inferi-
or in its application to stationary
things. The reason is this: The NOV
ing object is first observed by one of the
thousands of facets, which perceives it
for the infnitesimal part of second
that it takes to get out of the arc Of Wis
ion of that particular lens and pass into
that OF another. each movement being
separately telegraphed to the brain by
the facet on duty. But with station
airy object it is different, since for some
reason the minor organs fail to focus
accurately. and so render the object
less distinct than when viewed by eyes
of only one lens each.

make it fifteen? Fifteen
do l hear it,"
Fred Stamford was auctioning off
his hens to small crowd of country
boys, of about his own age. And
this was how it CHANGED that he had
to do thing which went 80 sorely
against his will. 1t had been a terri
BILE winter,-the worst that the Stani-
fords had known since they came to
Iowa. Crops had been light the pre-
yious fall; frost and cold weather had
set in Unexpectedly early; deep snow
had fallen before the first of Decem-
Der, and some of the stock, still out,
had persisted in the remoter fields.
Far into April the fierce winter wealth
,er continued, and part of the housed
stock had to be killed because there
was not enough fodder for them all.
So it went on until past the middle
of April. Then the sun gradually
walked up, as it were, and shone with
such intense warmth that the great
body of snow went off in floods, carry
ing destruction to farms and build
ings along the watercourses.
Since his fathers death, year be-
fore, this fourteen year-old boy had
been sthe man of the house." He had
managed the little farm well, consid-
ering his youth; but the poor harvest
season, the hard winter, loss of stock,
and damage by floods had so reduced
the Staniford's resources that poverty
actully stared them in the face when
spring came. Something would have
to be sold in order to get little
ready money for present necessities.
What, then-the COW? No: the fam
lily could i'll spare the milk upon
which they depended so largely for
daily food. The two farm horses
were equally indispensable. So Fred
heroically decided that his treasured
poultry must go. There were two
roosters and about thirty hens, which
had been Fred's especial property,
even before his fathers death, and
upon which he had bestowed great
deal of care. Some of them he had
raised by hand from downy chick
ems, and it seemed pretty hard to
have 10 part with them now, Just as
they were getting old enough to raise
broods of their own. But there were
mother and the two little sisters to
be looked after. and there was hardly
a cent left in the old leather purse
in his fathers cabinet drawer.
Fifteen cents l am bid for this
fine, fat hen," continued the boys
clear, ringing voice. Think of it,
only fifteen cents for hen that lays
seven eggs week, and almost always
a double-yelked one for Sunday
Fred Stamford looked eagerly
around the old barn in which the
auction was being held. He had
hoped to get Thirty cents, at least, for
every hen,-forty would not be too
much, he thought. And yet, even at
twenty cents apiece, his pets were
proving hardly salable. Two had
been sold at twenty cents; but al
r)ady the excitement was dying down
and here was the handsomest fowl in
