HABITS Oh THE MOLE.

high, and ran clear across one end OF
the yard. Its mols, explained Ben,

So Ben, who gets quarter for every
mole he catches, laid plans for the
noon campaign. He got the hose
ready for service and carried the bust
ness end of it to what he said was
the "fraish end of the run" AS noon
approached Ben moved around like a
cat after bird and whispered: "You
all wan to keep pow'ful quiet or that
mole done run to his nes' in the bowls

the burrow and waited in silence. Sud-

and some brown earth showed through
the grass. Quick as flash Ben turned
on the water, thrust the nozzle of the
hose into the burrow. Nothing hap.

BEARS ALL ANXIETY.
The Young Woman Who Helps Hos
tesses to he Happy While They
Are Entertaining.

How to be happy though the hostess
of large dinner party is what young
woman, at the rate of from three to
five dollars an evening, is showing a
number of wealthy women. This young
woman, in looking around for means
OF bread-winning, decided to become a
professional bearer of dinner party anX-
ieties. What she does is to manage din.
ners or wedding breakfasts or large
luncheons, and, though she neither
cooks nor waits on table, she fulfi1ls a
most important mission.
She stands before the hostess in all
worry. A half hour before the meal ia
served she appears in the dining-room
and sees to it that the butler has got
the table set, and that the wines are
rising or falling to precisely the right
temperature. Then she dons her big
apron, and as guests file into the dining
room she takes her stand by the pan
try's dumb-waiter to see that every dish
comes up exactly on time, piping hot
when it ought to be hot, chilled to the
marrow when the chill is necessary,
and, furthermore, she tastes it to see
that its flavor is exactly what it ought
to be. Having quick wit, resourcefll
mind and knowledge of French cook
cry, she takes care that no dish passes
to the table that is not above reproach.
Where she stands in the pantry there is
heard none of the crash and grind Of
dinner party machinery; no long waits
between courses efapse.
Now, this may seem a sinecure, but
grateful hostesses look upon her work
as exalted modern philanthropy, for
even if the butler is new man, the cook
possible traitor to her trust and the
caterer apt to play tricks with ices and
sorbets, so long as the dinner manager
is at the pantry helm nothing can &c
wrong. With all the ease of an unfet.
tered soul the hostess can give her
whole mind to her guests. If she is a
hostess new at the business she can
send for the manager beforehand and
have her dinner all planned for her
every detail considered, even to the
color of the flowers and the pattern on
the tablecloth, and the very latest sur
prise in an epicurean delicacy worked
up for the envious delectation of he1
guests. But this is an eXtra.-N. Y

and put two small brass hinges on the
back. The inside should be covered
first and the material drawn tight.
The sides and front of the one shown
here are laid in large box plaits, the
back being perfectly plain. The lid
should be padded with one or two layers
of cotton and finished with a ruff1e
about three inches wide tackled on the
top of the lid so it will fall down over
the box about two inches. This re-
quires five yards of creton. For the
outside brass head tapestry tacks
should be used.
This is not only very useful but
IN ornamental article as well. With a
few pillows thrown on it it makes a
very pretty window seat; in the winter
it can be used for packing away your
summer clothes; it also makes a very
dainty trunk for baby's things. In
fact, its scope of usefulness is unlim-

"Ah, happy years!' Once more who would
not be boy?"-Byron.
Yes, boyhood's years were happy years.
We shall no happier know, 1 ween
How memories start and flood the heart
AS we recall each early scene!
But little then our lot We priced
We envied, rather, mans estate;
How blest and free he seemed to be,
His griefs how slight. his joys how great!
All, well! experience has taught
The truth since then, that young or old,
Life has its care, an equal share,
Though varying and manifold!
Dear, ardent lad, that read st this rhyme,
Thy boyhoods golden prime fleets fast;
With pleasures true thou ne'er shalt rue,
Fill up the days ere they are past.
Yea, fill thy youth with earnest acts,
Their worth to thee shall time disclose;
For boyhood's deeds are fruitful Seeds
From which the future fortune grows
And so spend life that in Old age
Thou canst look back and say, with Joy
And not in tears: "Ah, happy years.
Once more who would not be boy?'

New Use for sparrows.

A man in Georgia some time ago
caught some sparrows and trained
them so that he can open their cage and
they will fly back again from love of
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that sparrows could be trained to do
the work of carrier pigeons, and that
as they were smaller they would be Of
more use in case of war. He gave one
of his sparrows to friend, who was
going distance of $50 miles, and told
him to free the bird when he had
reached the end of his journey, and
at the same time to telegraph him when
he did so. The bird reached home and
went straight to its cage, making the
journey in little over an hour and a
half,

Cider Is Not UnvhOIesome,

Cider is sometimes made with impure
water, and there are makers who affirm
that dirty water makes the best cider.
Hence the Pasteur Institute of France
has been examining Normandy elders
to see how far they are free from bac-
terra. 1t appears from their results
+%at the malic acid in cider tends to kill
bacteria. Ordinary cider contains at
least two per cent. of malic acid, and
when the percentage does not fall be-
low that the bacillus of typhoid fever
dies In it after IS or 30 hours. Good
cider, then, may be drrnk "a hours aft
er il is made without any fear of catch
ing typhoid.

Col. Cody, the eminent scout helped to
build church at North Platte, and was per-
suaded by his wife and daughter to accom-.

gave out, the hymn, which commenced with
the words: "Oh, for ten thousand tongues
to sing" etc. The organist, who PLAYED by
ear, started the tune in too high a Kew and
had to try again. A second attempt ended
like the first in failure. ooh, for ten thou.

GOATS FROM CRUSOE'S ISLAND
Children Interested in Two New Ar
rivals at Central Park-Are
Fine Animals.

Two goats from Juan Fernandez
island, made famous by the habitation
of Alexander Selliirk, the original of De
Foes Robinson Crusoe, and frequently
called Crusoe island, have been put on
exhibition in the deer houses of the Cen
trail Park menagerie, New York.
The goats are male and female.
Roth are young and unusually fine
specimens of the breed most common on
the island.
Former Mayor William r. Grace is
at the head of a large shipping firm
trading with South American ports,
and the captain of one of it's vessels pur-
chased the two goats and brought them
here few days ago. Mr.. Grace offered
them to John w. Smith, manager and
director of the menagerie, and they
were Immediately accepted.

exercise is invaluable for Strengthening
the neck and developing the muscles
of the neck and shoulders and reducing
the size of the waist and abdomen.
But great many other exercises in.
volving the stretching of the muscles
can be used in connection with these to
advantage, as they are less violent.
For instance, standing firmly with
the toes well turned out, put the feet
quite near together, with both arms ex.
tended nearly at right angles with the
body, reach as far as possible, first to
the right and then to the left, as if en-.
deavoring to reach wall at some dis
tance from the body.
Vary this motion by twisting the
body upon the waist, so that the right
arm is reaching as far to the left as pos.
sible, and in turn the left arm reaching
to the right.
Vary again by standing facing wall
and touching it with the tips of the
fingers of both hands. After each touch
move away about half an inch farther.
until it is with the utmost difficulty
that you can touch the wall at all. Then
repeat several tines in succession.
All these movements are invaluable
for improving the carriage of the body
and reducing the size Of the waist. AL
should be taken very slowly and in cen
nection with deep, slow, even breath.
