The Third Kind.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The visitor was being conducted through
the large public school building by its proud
woman principal. His introduction to a
class was something like this:
"Oh, see all the little girls! Busy chill
dren? Happy? Now. why do you come to
school? Truly, you don't like tor A little
giggle was the affirmative answer
Now, children l think you said you had
little pieces to say. What little girl will
say a piece?"
Forty hands were up at once. and ten
more a little later.
THAT little girl"
A seven-year- old in checked pinafore rose,
and making a little bow, which made her
two golden pigtailS fly around amazingly,
began: How doth er little buthy bee i'm
prooth cath thinning hour?'
And the next little girl isped in the same
way about the acorn, and another about
the field daisy and the butterfly.
MY children, you all lisp" suggested the
principal.
"Yeth ma,am," said one, "thath becauth
we hathn't all our teeth and a finger
pointed to the place where two front ones
ought to be.

tie girls have lest teeth-5aby teeth?'
Forty-two out of fifty children held up
their hands Only eight had all their teeth.
Now, why do you lose your teeth?"
asked the principal
'Soath to get big onth," was the answer.

given.

The Catawba's birthplace.

The story of the origin of the Catawba
grape is an Interesting one, involved some
what in mystery. Investigation has not
even yet sufticed to clear it up. The off
cial lists of native American fruits published
by the American Pathological Association
attribute the Catawba to North Carolina
Yet the grape was never known as the Ca
tawba until ii had been growing in the Dis
trict of Columbia for many years Mr. A.
len Dodge Of Georgetown, one of the pomo-
oSists of the United States Department of
Agriculture. says that it is his recollection
that George Shoemaker of Georgetown
CHANGED to ride through the village Of
Clarksburg. Montgomery county, Md. and
there stopped at IA public house kept by
Mrs. Scholl, who gave him some grapes
from vine which grew over the porch of
her tavern. Mr.. Shoemaker called Major

Album went to Clarksburg and pruned the
vine for the sake of the cuttings A Ger

that the grape resemhled d grape growing
in Tokay. Hungary, and Album called the

by the sign of 'Franklins Head" In this
