FoR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Original Of Tom Brown Of Rugby,
the Schoolboy Hero.


Few better books are known
among English speaking boys than
"Tom Browns School Days at
Rugby" Thomas Arnold, Jr., was
at Rugby when Thomas Hughes,
the Tom Brown Of the school life,
was a pupil there, and in Passages
In Wandering Life" gives his rec
ollections of the boys hero.
Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall
for his age; his long, thin face, his
sandy hair, his length of limb and
his spare frame gave him lankness
of aspect which was the cause, l
suppose, of the boys giving him the
extraordinary nickname of "execu-
TONER"
No name could be less appropri-
ate, for there was nothing inhuman
or morose or surly in his looks, and
still less in his disposition. The
temper of bully was utterly alien
10 MN, ana ne was always cneerlul
and gay.
He was one Of the best runners
in the school, and many time have
/ seen him in the quadrangle just
before Glare and hounds s"-he be-
ing one of the hares--lightly clad
and with bag of "scent" strapped
around him.
He was too keen eyed and OBJ
servant to be specially popular, but
all the small boys liked him because
he was kind and friendly to them.
He reached the sixth form, but
left before he had risen high in it,
feeling, no doubt, that his work lay
elsewhere.

What TO Do.

Add vinegar to the water used in
washing pink dress goods and the
color will be frightened. Shades of
green may be made brighter by the
use of alum.
When light colored wash silk
shirt waists become soiled, they will
look like new if washed in gasoline
To prevent the water in the els
tern from becoming sour, lower into
it bag filled with charcoal. Some
thing like half bushel is sufficient
for a cistern of ordinary size. Also
keep the cistern open to the air il
possible.
Don't throw coffee grounds away,
but scatter them about the rose
bushes, as these, it is said, will be
greatly benefited by them.
Oil of lavender and pennyroyal
scattered about a room will keep
away flies ard mosquitoes.

The Honest Man Wins.

The world at large soon recog-
nizes the honest man in business,
and it is quick to give him its ap-
proval. "Why do you deal with
Mr.. Jones?" asks one person of an
other. Because he always deals
squarely with me-" is the reply.
Such a reputation soon becomes
widespread. Nobody wants to be
cheated Of the least farthing, and so
everybody flocks to the place Of
business of him who gives value for
value and who trades according to
the tenets enunciated in the Deca-
logue. An honest business man is
not only the noblest work of God,
but he is the crowning triumph of
struggling humanity.

The Visitor From the Mountains.

An old native inhabitant of vii
lage in the mountains of Japan
came out Of his seclusion recently
and paid visit to the city of Ku-
mamoto for the first time in 2S
years, says the Chicago News. A
quarter of a century and three years
had naturally made a great change
even in the old town, and everything
the aged rustic saw there was a Won
der to him. More mystifed than
astonished, the man went back to
his mountain recesses and the first
thing he is reported to have said to
his wondering villagers was:
"Well, | declared For the soul
of me | don't know what the Ku-
mamoto folk do with so many wis
taria vines stretched along the
streets"
He meant the telegraph wires.

The Quarter Deck Little Too Cheap
For Secretary Chandler.
AT the Army and Navy club the
other evening a group of officers
were discussing the recent difficult
ties Of ex-senator Chandler with
Rear Admiral Evans. One of the
officers, now retired, mentioned in
cidentally the fact that Mr.. Chan
der upon taking up the navy port
folio was not as familiar with nau-
tical matters as nigh be desired.
Soon after taking hold Of his Off
cial duties the secretary had occa-
sion to visit what was at the time
one of the larger vessels of the
navy. Upon the morning following
his arrival the commanding officer,
after a brief exchange Of greetings,
said:
"Mr. Secretary, would you care
to see the marines mustered on the
quarter deck?"
"H'hw replied the head of the de-
partment, so the story goes. 'It
seems to me that for the secretary
of the navy at least a half dollar
deck should be provided. New

of his army service, be placed on

the application thereof under this
act at the rate of So per month
during her widowhood, and shall

Neglected Liberty.

Officers stationed on Bedloe's
island have asked General Brooke
to request that the base of the
statue of Liberty be finished or, at
least, put in respectable condition.
The statue is now cared for by the
war department, the treasury de-
partment and the lighthouse board,
and besides there is citizens COM
mittee which is supposed to be in
terested. AS result Of this divided
responsibility, the statue has been
neglected sadly.

made. The shape of sabot or a
Chinese shoe ION an enlarged scale)
can usually be cut without much
difficulty if one takes an ordinary
shoe or carpet slipper as a guide,
tapering off here and curving there
The best way to begin is by cutting
out shoe pattern in brown paper.
This can be done by laying the
paper over a ready made shoe, if an
unmade carpet slipper is not at
hand. The sole should be made of
cardboard covered with satin, and
the toepiece could be of fancy bro
cade or painted satin, bound with
ribbon or gathered through a
buckle. A pretty notion is bronze
shoe made of bronze colored satin
or satin and velvet.

italian Lettuce Dressing.

An Italian chef derides the
American manner of preparing the
dressing for lettuce, by which a
goodly part of the oil and vinegar
is left in the bottom of the dish.
His method is to put the salad in
the bowl and, turning the leaves
with one hand, cover them slowly
with oil with the other until every
leaf glistens. He then seasons them
with salt and pepper, adds a few
drops Of vinegar, gives a last stir
and serves his salad at once.

Wall Pocknts.

A pretty idea for wall pocket is
the sabot. Sabots of plain white
wood, ready for painting on, are
sold for the express purpose of hold
ing flowers, and these are very
pretty. But another notion is to
initiate the sabot in painted satin or
nile green leather, and in this way
dainty, uncommon wall pocket is

A l1auahtx Young Monarch.

Here is a story Of the young king
of Spain calculated to make any
boy reader glad he is not a king:
"At recent function, in which only
young people joined, pretty girl
Of sixteen, who had danced several
times with little Alfonso, presented
her cheek to him for a salute. In
stantly he Strengthened up and ex-
tended his hand to her. 4 don't

hand instead. lam your king"

Prince Ruperps Drops.

Glass is an extremely bad con-
ductor of heat, and the reason why
tumblers and other vessels made of
glass crack when hot water is sud
denly poured into them is that the
interior of the glass expands before
the heat can penetrate through the
particles on the outside, which are
consequently then riven asunder.
Small glass toys called Prince Ru-
pert's drops, which may be obtained
at a glass blowers, show very clear
ly the effect of heat on bad conduc-
tors. They are made by dropping
a small quantity of glass while al
most in liquid state into water, by
which means a globule with a spiral
tail is instantly formed the outside
Of the globule cools and solidifies
the instant it comes into contact
with the water, before the inner
part changes, and this, as it gradu-
ally hardens, would contract were
it not retained and kept in its form
by its adherence to the outer crust.
If the tail is broken off or any 9TH
er injury done to the globule, it will
burst with a slight noise and fall to
pieces. In order that glassware
may be durable it is annealed-that
is to say, it is put into an oven, the
temperature of which is allowed to
decrease gradually.

on Stanley Hopkins, a twelve-year-
old boy of Lynchburg, o. AT the

to hang on a rope 1900 feet up in
the sky. There was a balloon as
cension at the county fair at Hills
boro, and as the big gas bag shot up
Stanley got tangled in the guy
ropes somehow and was jerked high
into the air. Women and children
tainted at the sight, but the boy
kept his wits, grabbed the ropes and
hung on tight while the balloon
scared nearly half mile, with the
aeronaut trying in vain to get hold
of him. Finally the man, after tell
ing him to keep holding tight, let
some gas out of the balloon, and
they slowly came down. Stanley
had been gone only eight minutes,
but the crowd was so glad to see
him that it almost smothered him.
