1.-The Soldiers and Sailors of the Great
Northwest" DR.. Clark told of the early
settlement of Ohio and the other States
of the Central West by Revolutionary
patriots, dwelt enthusiastically upon
their patriotic zeal and their service to
their country, noting the favored sons of
the Republic who had come from that
region, such as Sherman, Grant, Nc
Clellan, Lincoln and Mckinley.
Rev. DR.. Buckley was the last speaker
of the evening, and his remarks were ex-
cellently well given, and received with
the ssThree Degrees of Patriotism" and
by way of preface. he gave brief ac-
count of his own ancestry, showing that
he was descendant of "both sides" his
maternal grandfather having fought in
the Revolutionary army and his fathers
grandfather as soldier in the British
army. His first degree of patriotism
was represented in the American citizen
who ''goes straight along, minds his own
business, supports his family and pays
his taxes" He is the bone and sinew of
the land and will do, if he will wake up
once in while when his country needs
him. A second degree man must
have these qualities and a
genuine and continuous enthusiasm, so
that no matter where he is in time of
war or peace, the very name of his coun-
try stirs him up. If he happens to go to
Europe and hears a sneer at America,
he must be a man that will stand and
fight it out A walk of six miles in any
country of the Old World would give
him occasion to prove that his country
was superior in freedom, intelligence,
territory and rapidity of progress to any
nation on earth, and to say all that man
required genuine patriotism In his
opinion there was only one thing in the
world worse than sneer, and that was
ian English grunt." A third degree
patriot would put his country before
all and be willing to sacrifice every
thing for his native land. Touching
the war question, DIR. Buckley said
he had been against war until Con-
gress had declared that it existed,
and therefore it was his duty as a
patriot of the third degree to join in the
support of his country, and therefore
as a patriot he was ready to have
-four go up, butter or anything else, and
put stamps on all he used and, if neces-
sary, fight for his country. A patriot of
the third degree, when the time requires
it, will neglect his private affairs for the
sake of his country, for if the country
goes what will become of every mans
private affairs
The exercises closed with the express
sion by President Whitehead, on behalf
of the New Jersey Society, of thanks to
the delegates for their visit to Morris
town and he wished all a sincere good
night.

About Mother Goose.

rs it true-about Jill?" asked Dot.
Yes" answered. II have no doubt
there was, somewhere, sometime, real
Jack and Jill. and that they went for.
a pail OF water, and tumbled down hill.
| think most OF the Mother Goose
rhymes started from some real saying
or doing or happening. Most of them
are very old. too. The Jack and Jill
jingle was fayorite in England long,
long ago-indeed, l rather think Jack
and Jill came over in the Maytower
And we do know, for sure, that there
was a Mother Goose, and that when
Boston was village, two hundred
years ago, she lived there. and had
little girl named Elizabeth"
"Oh-really and truly" cried Dot.
Tell me about it." We'll when Mo-
ther Goose's little girl, Elizabeth Yer
goose-Vergoose was the real family
name--grew up, she married Mr.. John
Fleet, printer, and had a little son of
her own. Now Grandmother Vergoose
was very fond of Elizabeths little boy
She was very fond, too. OF rhymes;
and. being a wonderfully jolly grand
mother, she sang to her little grand
son all the jingles she could remember.
think, too. she made up some herself;
think perhaps one day, when she was
carrying the little Vergoose grandchild
about the house, she made up the
'Goosey, goosey. gander' verse-Eliza-
beth's little boy being that very goo
sey,' and not any bird at all"
"Oh!" said Dot. land what next?"
We'll, Grandmother vergoose sang
her rhymes over and over and sang
them SO loud that the neighbors all
heard. and laughed about It, and Mr..
Fleet was vexed-until one day he
had happy thought. and wrote down
the rhymes, and printed book of
them. Songs of the Nursery But,
perhaps as joke on Grandmother
Vergoose. he also printed on the title
page, Mother Goose's Melodies for
Children. with picture of long neck
ed, open billed goose. That was the
first Mother Goose book-and 1t sold
for two coppers.'"

rh. True story of rol,,-ro,,

Polly came to me when was tired
i'll and lonely, birthday Gift from
my little boy.
He was green Mexican parrot
with yellow head. and yellow and
red epaulets on his shoulders, and his
solemn, round eyes and great white
beak gave him ridiculously wise and
aged appearance. although the baby
bird was not yet year old.
He was very shy and quiet for a few
days. and i feared he would never
talk, but l always exclaimed, "Hello,"
when went into the room, and would
tempt him and coax him by holding
his food near the cage when he was
hungry. and in less than week he
greeted my entrance into the room
with CHEEKY, "Hello!"
My hearty laughter made him very
proud of himself, and he very soon
picked up the name which some of the
family gave him. and would exclaim,
"Hillo. Polly!' with much satisfac-
ton.
l usually called him Tom" which
seemed to puzzle him, and he often
tried IL over in whisper, as parrots
usually do before speaking in public.
One day, after some very amusing
gymnastics, he astonished his mis-
tress by saying, in a very patronizing
tone, "Hillo. Polly-Tom!" and that
finally became his name.
He was very affectionate fellow.
and became immensely fond of nv
husband. whom 1 usually called Jack.
About Ave o'clock each day Tom be-
came very uneasy, would listen for
sounds in the lower hall most intent.

We went out to drive with Jenny
yesterday. She was in the shafts and
we were on the seat. and we all look
ed very nice. Jenny is brown. with
long, smooth ears, and large soft eyes.
and she is the prettiest donkey any
where about. But-well. mamma says
that beauty is only skin-deep. AT hrst
Jenny trotted along nicely. and we
said. "Oh, what a pleasant thing 1t Is
to have donkey
Presently she stopped and began to
eat grass; we knew she could not be
hungry. 60 on!" we cried; but Jen-
ny would not go on. | beat her quite
hard, but she only shook her ears and
did not seem to mind at all. She back

and the horse was frightened at Jen-
ny, and began to rear and plunge.
Take your donkey out Of the way"
shouted the driver. We beat Jenny
again till our arms ached. but could
not make her go.
l got out and tried to push her. but
l might as well have pushed the stone
wall. Then the man turned round and
drove away, but we stayed there. We
were tired and the sun was hot, but
Jenny did not mind the heat.
Another man came by-or. rather, a
big boy-and he laughed at us, and
said. "Ho! before Id give up to n don
key!" so we asked him to help us, and
he came and tried to push Jenny back
from the road. He pushed and push

head. and showing till he was purple
in the face: but Jenny planted her four
feet and laid back her ears and stood
still; and we sat and laughed. for we
could not help it.
At last the big boy said he wasn't
going to stand there and be made a
fool OF. SO he went away growing and
grumbling: and Jenny looked after
him as If she were laughing. Perhaps
she was.
At last something seemed to come
into her mind: she looked all about
her: then she turned round and ran
home as fast as she could go. She
bolted into the garden, upsetting the
cart and throwing Bessie and me out.

she ran over the flower beds. and at
last the gardener caught her and put
her into the stable. We are thinking

Something Better Than Medicine.

The following story from London

pathetic side:
woman had been brought to the
hospital in very weak state. We
could do nothing for her: she scenes
to have lost all hold on life, and
gradually got worse and worse. The

her and who was kindness itself, was
sent for to take the last sad leave.

Human Ant Eaters.

The eating of insects has not, hith-
erto. presented itself as vice. Now,
however. II appears that the indul-
gence of a strange taste for such food
may be prejudicial to health and NOR
ality. Popular Science News prints
an account of what was at first looked
upon as a new disease that broke out
among a colony of wood-choppers in
Maine
The "boiters," men who cut the
round timbers into boards. were the
first to be attacked by it, For day
or two they acted strangely. singing
and laughing about their work, MAX
ing much needless disturbance and
showing great excitement. They lost
all appetite for food. going the whole
day without tasting mouthful. Later
their eyes grew bloodshot, and their
limbs shook as If they were afflicted
with palsy. At more acute stage of
the disease the men collapsed entirely.
A doctor was called in. and at once
pronounced them intoxicated. The
rooms of the men were searched, but
no liquor was found. Those about
them were questioned. but could throw
no light on the matter. Some Of the
symptoms did not indicate alcoholism.
The pulse was slower and more regu-
lar than in cases of drunkenness,
while the pupils of the eyes were en-
larged to twice their natural size. The
men remained in semi-comatose
state for several days, returning to
their senses only after repeated doses
of medicine had been administered.
When we'll enough to answer ques-
tions, the men all declared that they
had taken no liquor. When asked to
account for their illness. they said
they believed it was brought on from
eating large quantities of the great
brown and red ants which they found
in the hollow butts OF the trees.
These insects are well known in all
lumber camps, where the Frenchmen,
and others with taste for sharp acids.
eat of them freely. winnowing them
from the sawdust. and chewing them
as they would radishes. or mixing
them with molasses and using them as
substitute for cranberry sauce
The ants burrow homes for them
selves in the trunks of old trees.
During the summer they roam in the
woods, but at the approach OF cold
weather they return to winter quar-
ters, where they apparently freeze,
and remain stiff until thawed out in
spring These frozen ants the woods
men eat greedily. for they find them
so strongly impregnated with acid
that they prefer them to cranberry or
apple sauce.

Supplying Water to Houses and Small
Fact orics.

Factorics
The general Introduction of water
throughout many sections of the co,lr-
try, especially those outlying districts
near great cities. has put the old-fash-
Toned well, to great extent, out OF
commission. In most old places. how
ever, there are still excellent wells
that are practically going to waste be-
cause of n lack of knowledge of the
best means to utilize their contents.
simple and effective device is the
arrangement of a small and inexpen-
sive water motor attached to the wa
ter supply service pipe at any conyen-
lent point. This motor operates
small force pump which is fed from the
well. This pump conveys a small but
steady stream of water to a tank or
reservoir which may be located at any
spot where the fall will supply the
premises. One many gather up tho
cobble stones about the place and
build water tower with a tank in
the top for n very small sum, pro-
vided the labor can be done at home.
and at odd times. If this tank is sit
uated on some bit of higher ground.
so much the better. as 1t involves less
height in the building of it. From
this tank a continuous supply may be
furnished to house. barn and outbuild-
ings, care being taken to provide suit
able receptacles or tubs for the wa
ter. For example: A tank in the
house can have a ball valve attach
ment and close when the tank Is full.
The same device applied to the barn
will give ample water supply there.
The value of these little motor pow
ers is that they work continuously.
never stopping to rest, and rarely
breaking down. being simple and con-
structed on the most approved prin-
ciples When the general supply tank
is full this shuts off also. The city
water which furnishes the motive pow
er is consumed only as far as re-
quired, and the automatic shut-off en-
tirely prevents waste. For very small
families this pumping apparatus migk,
not be profitable, but where any
amount of water is required. it is quite
as practical to use the well which Is
often improved by being continually
drawn from. Water and gas meters
are prolific sources of irritation for
householders. many OF whom would
be glad to learn of some simple means
of making use of well of spring
which they value very highly
