The Girls and the Parasols.

Two little girls, named Annie and
Grace, had been given new sun shades,
and had fallen into quarrel in regard
to their respective beauty.
Mine is red," said Annie, "and
is therefore the gayest and most at
tractive, and will best become my COM
plexion and hair" ..t-@e- "~- '--.--
And mine" retorted Grace, 'be-
ing blue, is much cooler to look upon
and is a more fashionable summer col
or; and besides, its shape is better,
its size larger and its handle more
beautiful. | wouldn't have red UNI
brella for anything, so there"
"And l think you're mean, hate
full, little girl, so there answered
Annie.
Then they became so interested in
their quarrel that they laid their open
sunshades upon the ground while they
continued the argument.
And while they were thus engaged
a playful summer breeze came up and,
catching up the parasols, whirled them
into nearby pond, where they floated
amid the mud and ooze much to the
dismay of their owners.

A Suggestion to the Breadmaker.

The old method Of making bread al
ways demanded that the bread be set
to rise over night and then be kneaded
twice in the morning besides the thor
ough kneading at night Quick-pro-
cess bread is fully as good and should
be made as follows: Mix together equal
portions of luke-warm sweet milk and
luke-warm water and for each pint of
this mixture add one compressed yeast
cake dissolved in three tablespoons of
cold water. Add also teaspoonful of
salt. Add flour, stirring in in with a
spoon until a stiff dough is formed.
This dough should be 80 stiff as to be
turned from the mixing bowl in a
mass Now knead this, adding more
flour until the dough sticks neither
to the board nor to the fingers. Grease
large earthen bowl, put into 1t the
dough, brushing it over with melted
butter to prevent a crust forming. The
temperature is the main thing now.
The bread should be left to rise for
three hours in temperature of 75 deg.
-. the end of that time form the bread
into loaves, put into creased pans and
set it to rise for another hour at the
same temperature. Then bake. This
makes two loaves OF bread.-New

Old SenaschaI's Court,
most interesting quasi-judiclal

A most interesting quasi-1udiclal
body, called the Court of Claims, was
constituted by the proclamation pub
lished in the London Gazette of June
27. The duties this body will have
to perform are defined by the procla-
nation; they are very light, owing to
the curtallment of the modern corona
tion ceremony. This Court of Claims
is neither more nor less than the Sen
eschaPs Court of Norman times. The
"Seneschallis regis de feOdo" perform
ed many of the duties of regent be-
tween the demise of one sovereign
and the crowning of smother. The
office became merged In the crown
when Henry of Bollingbroke became
king of England. The first mention
In history of Court of Claims occurs
on the accession of Richard II. "The
Duke of Lancaster" who for his
Dukedom of Lancaster and Earldoms
of Leicester and Incoln, was ad
mitted upon his claim to be high
steward, bearer of the kings chief
sword, "Curtana," and carver at that
solemnity held the stewards
court several days in Westminster
Hall to receive the claims of such
persons as by certain tenures or Gus
tom were to otiiciate at that cere-
mony. We give an illustration, taken
from a Cottonian manuscript, show

Alice and William grieved more than

One morning came a letter from
Aunt Julia for Alice, and this is the
principal thing that was in it:
Il do not know what ails Bob. He
has not sung a note since we came
home, but sits in the corner of his
cage dropping. l have tried every
thing | could think of. What do you
suppose is the trouble?"
The family at Talbot were surprised
to hear that Bob" had stopped sing
ing, and the only way they could ac-
count for it was that he missed his
little companion ring-dove. So they
decided, as they did not like to ask
to have Bob" returned, to send the
ring-dove on to him.
This was done, and the change in
Bob" was wonderful. He began sing.
ing, singing, singing, as if his little
throat could not contain the sweet
melodies any longer. They poured forta
in bursts of rapture-the little bird
singing, singing, until there was one
final peal Of glorious song, and little

cage. He had lost his life while show
ing the joy that had come all too late

OF all the birde the thy humming
birds are the most lovely. They look
like animated jewels as they dart
about from flower to flower in the
sunshine. AS is so often the case
with birds of beautiful plumage, they
have 10 song to speak Of Moreover,
they are as quarrelsome as the saucy
sparrow, fighting with their mates as
we'll as with strangers. They are very
inquisitive, too, their curiosity often
getting them into trouble, and some
times even into the collectors net.
But like most wild things they cannot
bear captivity, and usually pine away
and die. For that they are such ex-
quisite creatures, the South American
Indians call them the pretty names of
the beams and locks of the sun.

The latest sensation in Dublin is the
adoption by a number Of society peo-
pie of the barefoot" fad for their chill
dren. Considerable attention is
aroused now and then in the streets
about the fashionable squares by the
appearance of smartly clad children,
walking barelegged and barefooted, all
but slight sandal. The idea is that
the children are made harder and less
likely to take cold by this exposure.

Prefer Their Own Methods.

1t Is a kindness to household pets
to leave the arrangement of their own
beds to themselves. Given the mater
falls and places, the cat and dog will
both, after turning and twisting to

herited instincts call for.
A woman who tried to build a nest
of the softest white cotton from her
jewel box for her canaries met with
rankest ingratitude from her pets. AS
fast as she arranged the fleecy stuff
in the wire nest, the birds scolded and
pulled it out. Finally she scattered it
in tufts about the room, whereupon
they helped themselves to 1t, and
made, she said,, nest for all tho world

Everybody knows. or ought to know,
that the pressure of the atmosphere
at sea level, is in round figures, Is
pounds to the square inch, but it is
not generally known that this may
be demonstrated in very simple way.
Take a glass tube three feet in
length and closed at one end, the open
Ing in the tube being equal to one
eighth of an incu square. Pour mercu-
ry into the tube until it is full, and
then, with your tinger over the open
end of the tube to keep the mercury
in and the air out, invert the tube in
to small vessel containing mercury.
Having removed your finger from
the open end of the tube the mercury
in the latter is, of course, in communi-
cation with that in the vessel, and you
will find that the mercury in the tube
will fall six inches, leaving that much
empty space at the top.
Now put your finger over the open
end of the tube again, and lift the lat
ter from the vessel. Pour the mercury
out of the tube and weight it, and you
will find that it weighs three and
three-fourths ounces. That is to say.
a column of mercury one-eighth of an
inch square, and 80 inches in height
weighs three and three-fourths ounces.
But square inch is Ga times as large
as one-eighth of an inch, and column
of mercury one inch square and 80
inches in Deight would weigh, there
fore, GA times three and three-fourths
ounces, or 240 ounces, which is equiva-
lent to Is pounds.
The pressure of the atmosphere.
therefore, must be Is pounds to every
square inch of surface.-Philadelphia

The Mocising Dird and the Ring Dove,

her brother William. They were the

were greatly loved by every one. Like

them were a mocking-bird and a ring
