SOME PROMISING
 YOUNG PLAYERS.
@@&@ @e~.

No doubt a great many of our readers have seen the play Rip Van Winkle." It is g play that always delights the young folks and the old, too, for that matter-so there Is no doubt that if you have seen it you will re- member the little boys and girls who did so much to make 1t as good as 1t is. We have had sent us a picture of MT. Thomas Jeffer- son as Rip, with several of his little com rades In the play. They are very bright and full of fun. One little girl that Rip is giving "pig-a-back" ride is Edith Tallferro, only eight years old, but delightful little actress for all that For three years she has been playing Little Meenie with Mir. Thomas Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle," and in all that time she has never failed to win ap- plause from the audiences. The largest little girl in the play is Mabel Talliferro, Edith's sister. Mabel is quite veteran, having at- talned the venerable age of IA years. She has made some deserved successes in differ- ent companies, and has been before the foot lights for seven years-quite half of her nfe-her latest appearance being in Lost River" In the theatrical season just past. She is quite a finished little artist of the stage world and one of the very prettiest before the public. Holding Rips gun, larger eAoh hAAhSeil, iS WdlSl, Il very 1H- portant member of the Rip Van Wrinkle" company, as all who have seen the play will remember. Master Harold was born during tour of the company with MT. Joseph Jefferson, Il years ago, and he has practically been on the stage ever since; so, you see, he is a born actor, of course.
 The present company, when on the road with Mir. Thomas Jefferson, as Rip have great many 'one-night stands'-that is, they play only one night in n town, and then pack up and hurry away to the next town on their trip, and after playing there one night travel on again to the next place where they are scheduled. This Is very wearing on them, for after playing until late at night they must travel all or most of the next day, with very little chance to rest. Some of the company are apt to break down under the constant strain, but the little players men. tioned above stand it nobly, and are always as fresh as can be when it is their turn to go before the footlights.

A NOVELTY IN
 SODA WATER.

The most startling soda fountain novelty of the season is "crushed violets." The syrup is manufactured under patent by a Philadelphia firm, and when served up with the usual carbonie fizz makes delicately favored, swedish drink, which is best de- scribed as tasting just as violets smell.
 The secret of the flavor belongs to the manufacturer. It is not in any way derived from violets, that is quite certain. The violet, when crushed, gives forth none of that grateful perfume which is somehow manufactured within the veins of the plant and exhaled from the blossom. None of the odor of yiolets is obtained from the flowers.
 A distillation of their juice gives an acrid compound of no pleasant odor. The per fume is all manufactured artifcially. and orris root Is its base. Probably orris root Is tbe base also of the fayoring which enters into this new drink.

ALL JOINED THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE NEW TREASURES

They kept roaring fire all the time, and rather enjoyed the rest enforced by the ter rible storm. At last the weather cleared, the skies grew light and the sun shone again; but the roads had disappeared. Tremendous drifts of snow covered everything. Travel in any direction was impossible, and for several days the Babes in the Woods" did not stir from the immediate vicinity of the house. slight thaw was succeeded by terribly cold snap, which glazed the snow into crust that would hold a man easily. Helen felt that her teaching was over for the winter, and was bitterly disappointed.
 One morning George was returning from the barn. where he had resestabiished the

the unlettered but wisdom-loving mountain children knew no bounds. Even the sedate young ladies and the grave fellows of over twenty joined in the general scramble to be the first to see the new treasures. As the books were distributed the scholars went to their seats, and, utterly refusing to study, began Q minute examination of their volumes from cover to cover. George ex- plained that the books were of no use what ever to them at the present time, as they must finish the studies which his sister had mapped out for them before they would be qualified to understand the new subjects. This had not the slightest effect apparently. .TuekAs- ssms forward and dshaepjshly asked

Helen was full of enthusiasm over her success as schoolma am. She did not know that Feb Tucker was famed throughout the district as a bully and flstic expert who knew not mercy when enraged. No doubt a very large part of the docility of her over- grown pupils at first was due to Zeb's de- termined stand as her champion. Still, her natural sweetness of character would In time have won them completely, and Zeb's assistance doubtless saved her great deal of annoyance at first which might have greatly discouraged her.
 George was much gratified when Helen related her experiences that evening. He had spent the day in repairing the barn and outbuildlngs, and was completely tired out, but nevertheless he got out all of his books and began to outline some simple courses In advanced mathematics which he intended to teach himself as soon as Helen had shf- hciently prepared her oldest pupils for such studies. This done, he reckoned up his ex- penditures for the season of their stay at Eagles Nest, and found that they were a mere fraction ofswhat he had expected they would be. He considered the amount of

Helen to write his name in the front of his new books.
 I'm goln' t take 'em hum t show dad" he said. His example was followed by most of the scholars. and George and Helen were both kept busy some time in writing the owners names on title pages.
 There was an amazing impetus given to the progress of the scholars as soon as they grasped the idea that they must really con- plete the studies they had in hand before beginning on the new books. The classes would frequently ask for longer lessons which was entirely unprecedented in the annals of that school and of any other that Helen had ever heard of.
 At last the time came when the new volumes were really to be opened with q fixed purpose. George began his duties as teacher of the advanced studies, and was thunderstruck to be chrstened Professor" which his pupils insisted on calling him, with an impish delight at his confusion at the title.

supplies lie would receive during the winter and th&,6ssistanne he would receive in his attempt at fastnipk ih the spring. It was very asgfavatsns for Helen to sit and watch her brother hgufing away so mysteriousiy without sasingra wosd of bis object, but she was immepsely gratifed when he announced that he could easily afford to buy enough books to furnish the little school with some thing more than the very elementary studies that they had heretofore pursued.
 When Helen was a& the schoolhouse the next day George rode down to the general store In the valley, which was also the post office, and dispatched letter to city firm of book publishers for the necessary volumes. Two weeks later the books ar rived, and when George and Helen unpacked them at the schoolhouse the enthusiasm of

 ''So you were not pleased with your life as diamond?' said Lilla. Are you content to remain a mote, or do you still wish change?"
 "I should like to be a sunbeam answered the mote, half afraid to speak at all. But the Fairy Queen smiled graciousy and, way ing her wand, To! on the instant there was one mote sunbeam, with crown and tunics of gold and wings like diamonds, and, spread ing these, he flew away and on and on, till he heard great many sweet voices: Come and find us, come and find us!''

bacon, small game and now and then deer were brought to the shooting lodge in pay ment for the services of George and Helen as teachers of the little school. Nothing was too good for them. Helen found the long walk to the school too much for her strength, and rode the pony. She had to blanket the little beast and leave him shiver- ing out of doors until ready to return. The mountaineers assembled and built com fortable little stable beside the schoolhouse, stocked 1t with straw, hay and feed aud de- tailed certain scholars to look after the lit tie horses comfort.
 Then came the blizzard. For four days the snow drove down in blinding sheets. It was impossible to go out of doors. George and Helen stayed snugly in the hunting lodge, with the pony stabled in the lean-to kitchen.

SOME BATTERED STRAN-
 GERS IN OUR PARKS.

No doubt. very few of our readers know that there are more than two hundred diff ferent kinds of birds in the parks In and near New York city. Not in cages, either, buy flying about just as freely as If they were q hundred miles from any living per son. It is very pleasant pastime to try to remember the notes of the different kinds of wild birds you may hear singing or chirp- ing in the parks The robin and the sparrow are the most familiar, of course, but there are many others just as interesting, and quite as tame.

old pans and heaps of ashes and piles of tubs, and nothing that looked like anything he had ever seen but a little dandelion grow ing up feebly in one corner. The sunbeam went and crept into the flower cup.
 "Alas" said the dandelion, "why am born? am alone in the whole world; there is nothing else like me; only frIghtful filth and forms of ugliness everywhere"
 ''No," said the sunbeam; there are whole fields of flowers such as you and many that are fairer and so sweet that the air is heavy with their fragrance"

APPLESEED JOHN.

There once lived a man named John. He was very poor, but he wanted to do some good in the world. He worked hard and with the money he earned he bought and lived mostly on apples. He always saved the cores and put them in bag. When the bag was full he would start out on a journeys Every little ways he would stick his cand in the dirt along the roadside and make hole, into which he placed an apple coret then he would cover 1t up with the soil
 People laughed and called him ''Appleseed John" Buf in later years, weary travellers were very grateful for the fruit and shadd of the apple trees. i,

 If you have two rabbits you can have great deal of sport in training them both to this game and letting them race for the slice of carrot or turnip.

We are going to tell our readers how to play game with rabbits that is quite unusual.
 First make the rabbit jump over small obstacle. such as stool or anything not more than foot or so high.
