Mans Souvenir.

Nan was going to have birthday
party out at grandma's house. Ten
little girls were coming to spend the
afternoon and stay to supper.
There was only one thing that
troubled Nan; and she went out into
the kitchen, where grandma was FROST
ing cakes the afternoon before the
party. TO talk about ii. The cakes
looked so good that Nan never could
have stood ii il grandma hal not
baked her tasters, in patty-pans, Of
every single kind OF cake.
Everything is too good for any
thingl' said Nan, leaning her elbows
on the table. Except l wish l did
have silvernears for the party"
Goodness mel' said grandma.
whats tbat?"
Things for them to take away to
member my party with for always"
answered Nan. ''Silvernears is the
best part Of party, think. grand
ma"
"Oh, yes, souvenirs--yes, see.
Well, we must see about them, then.
Didn't You tell me there were twelve
kittens down at the barn."
"Yessum," said Nan. "And, o
grandma, you said they'd have to go,
some Of them anyway, cause the farm
was getting overrun with cats. But,
grandma, you wouldn't say so il you
could see them once; they are the
sweetest, cunningest, dearest"--
Eyes" said grandma, calmly; they
always are. But why not give them
to the party for souyenirs?"
80 grandma, you are the dearestl
You always think Of the perfectest
thingsl OF course, there'll be one
apiece, and two for me; and you don't
mind the two for me, do You, grand
ma"
And Of course grandma said she
didn't mind.
so the next day, when the ten little
guests went away, after having the
most charming time, they each took
with them kitten, in box with stats
fixed 80 that IL could breathe. And,
after they were all gone, Nan went
down TO the barn. When she came
back, she looked very sober.
81 wouldn't have thought" she re-
marked, ''that I could have felt so
lonely without those ten kittens. !
hope I'm not getting selfish"
And grandma smiled.
The next day grandma was upstairs
when she heard Nan calling. And
then, running up the stairs, accom-
panied by chorus OF mewing. she
burst into the room, her checks very
red and her eyes very bright, with
ten boxes piled up in her arms.
20 grandma, she cried, 'the party
all came back, aud brought their
silvernears. They said their mammas
said they were just as much obliged,
but they had so many kittens now
they do not really need any more; and
say, O grandma, don't you think we
can keep them noww

got through laughing, said "Yes. p

Tanning Hu,n,nInr. BIRDS.

My special pet is the humming-
bird, and I never weary OF feeding
and fussing with that lovely little
creature. i tame them every year,
and my interest in them never flags.
Last spring my wife aud were
standing on the piazza and pair Of
male ruby-throats-the first arrivals
came lowering around our heads,
chasing each other IN seeming play,
and then lighting side by side on
star jessimine vine, within foot or
two Of our faces, without the slightest
fear OF us, which meant, of course,
that they knew their ground, and when
L brought out the little bottle that
they always feed from, one OF them
came directly to 1t as il he had fed on
II oil his life. It's delightful to he re-
membered by the tiny creatures in this
way, aud nearly every season 1 have
proof OF their memory. This season
at least two or three OF my old pets
have visited me, and oil seem to be as
tame as on the previous year, but the
early birds that are on the migratory
move cannot induce TO stay. They
nearly all go further north to set up
housekeeping. l never expect to keep
one for any length OF time until the
young birds appear in the early part
Of June.
During the month OF June this year
had two or three quite tame, but one
in particular never saw me anywhere
around the place but he would come
lowering around me, and 1 never
failed to take his little bottle from my
pocket and give him a sip or two. I
have discovered that it is best to give
khem but little at q time, as they are
apt to over-feed themselves. 1 often
sit on the piazza to read my paper,
and when have tame bird i hold
the bottle with the bow attachment
$50 that he con sit and help himself
without interfering with my reading;
and this summer, as I was reading, l
heard my pet as supposed, fly mp
and take his seat, and paid no atten-
ton 10 him for some time. then
looked up to see what he was doing,
and TO my surprise and delight there
sat an old fnll-plumaged male bird

never repeated his visit. Florida cor

An Army $4,000 Miles long.

A German military critic has been
adding up the grand total of the CONT
mental armies, and, after noting that
we can form only vague idea of what
Is meant by tens of millions, he tries to
bring home to his readers in anothc,
way the colossal growth of modern ar
maments. If, he says, we could have
all the armies Of the continent OF a
war footing and drawn up in one long
procession, with their guns and ammu-
milton and baggage wagons, the column
would be rather more than $4,000 miles
long, and, marching day and night, it
would take nearly year to pass a
given point.

:" HERE village spires in sleep abide;
w Where buildings tower on high;
Through all the quiet countryside,
And where the cities lie,
There swell at word a lusty band
In garb Of motley hue,
Who at the bugle notes command
Are citizens In blue.
A patient throng, DER dusty road,
Ger hard and echoing street,
Mid heat and cold they've grfmly STROBE,
Nor rocked their blistering feet.
They've drilled in field and dingy hall
When long days tasks were through,
And now they're ready for the call
These citizens in blue.
They've felt the scorn of friendly foes
Who watched them but to jeer;
They've seen the angry mob oppose
Their bayonets, austere;
But now, behold, nation, thrilled,
Would ask what they can do
Their answer is: "Our ranks are filed
With citizens in blue!'
And thus a couchant host they wait,
Close to their hearthstones' glow,
From Plymouth to the Golden Gate,
The lakes to Mexico.
Their knapsacl1s packed, their rifles secured
Their hands and courage true
Sweetheart nor mother finds a coward
In citizens in blue.

There are 5,4OO men in camp, and some
idea of what it takes to supply their wants
may be had from the following issue of
rations for a single day: Fresh beef. 9,315
pounds; pork $50 pounds; bread, includ-
ing bareback and fresh loaves, 1910
pounds; beans, 675 pounds; rice, $40
pounds; coffee, 5G3 pounds; sugar, 1,125
pounds; tea, 80 pounds; salt, $50 pounds;
pepper, 33 pounds; potatoes, 1880
pounds; cabbage, 1850 pounds; pickles,
1900 pounds. The beans are furnished
ready baked and the coffee comes to the
camp roasted and ground. Besides these
edibles nearly all the men buy pies and
fruit from peddlers, and none suffer for
any Of the necessaries of life. Many do
their own cooking, but a majority hire
colored men to do it for them Their
cooking utensils are limited to pots and
frying pans, and the cooking is done in
the open air and often when the dust is
flying.

father, who in his present feeble state is
unable to make any resistance. DR.. Mer-
rift replies that she has simply acted for
the best interests of her father and that,
as his legal guardian, she is entitled to
the custody of his person. Her reasons
for removing him from the old homestead
was that she might have him at her home,
where he could receive more careful treat
