Animals in a Storm.

Both wild and tame animals, four
footed or with wings, have deep-seat-
ed aversion to wet weather. Even
water fowl will seek a dry hiding
place wher it rains.
Did you ever watch the actions OF
cattle before big storm? If so, yon
must have seen them grow more and
more uneasy as the clouds gathered,
You also saw them run up and down
the field, as if seeking to escape some
impending danger. Finally, when the
storm breaks, they draw close togeth-
er and with lowered heads present
picture of despair.
Domestic animals when it rains will
always keep indoors, or, failing that,
they will seek shelter by the barn or
under trees or beneath the hedges and
thickets-in short, in any convenient
place where they may not be entirely
exposed to the downpour,
1t is the same with fowls. They
dislike the rain, which soaks their
feathers. They seek sheltered places
and creep under wagons or behind
boxes and boards. Chickens do not
mind getting their feet wet, for they
will scratch the ground soon after a
shower iu search Of worms and beetles.
Wild birds DO their best to keep out
OF the rain. Some Of them build
roof over their nests; others choose
home under the caves or under a pro-
jectmg cliff, where they may be safe
from the discomfort that the rain
brings
But most ofthem are without shelter
provided in advance by their own
forethought These take refuge in
any place that they happen to find at
hand. If you watch them before the
storm, you will see them looking for
such a place. If the storm comes sud
denly, the small and helpless ones seem
bewildered, flying from tree to tree
and from limb to limb, quite unable
to make up their minds exactly where
to hide themselves.

Etiquette OF Gift Giving.

There is an etiquette governing the
giving and receiving Of presents, as
there is about most things, because
there is always a best way to do every
thing. If we penetrate below the sur
face Of the little courteous conventions
we shall find that consideration for the
feelings of others underlies all. Do
not try to make your gift look as
though it cost more than you paid for
it. Aside from the paltry spirit Of
such giving it is delusion and a
snare, for next year your offering must
seem to be as fine as the one of this
season or you may appear to have
been lees anxious to please your friend.
The best gifts are those which put no
tax upon material resources, but triiies
of which the recipients may make
frequent use, and so keep the giver in
mind. Take the time TO write few
words of loving or cordial greeting on
the cards that accompany your gifts.
Without that evidence of individual,
personal thought the offering Of even
the finest present appears somewhat
graceless and perfunctory. A message
on a card is better than a note, because
more informal, and one should not
seem to make much ola gift. Having
your presents daintily wrapped is net
less matter Of courtesy. Let their
outward appearance commend them.
Leave them or send them TO their
destination the day before Christmas
unless you can insure their reception
early in the day. A tardy gift ap-
pears like an Observation-Disclosures
Ladies Home Journal.

How Would You Like It Yourself ?

There was great commotion in the
back yard. Mamma hurried to the
window, to see Johnny chasing the cat
with stones.
why, Johnny, what are you doing?
What is the matter with Kitty she
called.
"She's all dirty, mamma. Some
body shut her up in the coal hole, -"
he said.
"Aud is that all ?" mamma wanted
to know.
"Why, yes" said Johnny. "She's
dirty, and black and horrid We
don't want her round"
Mamma was about to speak, then
checked herself and went back into
the house. Presently Johnny came in,
crying, aud ran to her for help. He
had fallen into a puddle and was
dripping with mud.
30, mamma, mammal he cried,
sure of help from her.
She rose and started toward him,
then turned and sat down again.
Jane" she said quietly to the
nurse, who was sewing near by, "do
you know where there are any good
sized gravel stones2"
Nurse looked up, astOnished, and
Johnny stopped his loud noise to
stare.
Stones, ma am
"Yss," said mamma, "to throw at
Johnny. He's been in a puddle and
IS dirty, and black, and horrid We
don't want such things around.
Johnny felt as if this was more
than he could bear, but funny CLEAN
in his mothers eye kept his heart from
being quite broken.
please, mamma, I'll never do 1t
again /" he cried in humble tones.
poor, Kitty l see, now, just how
bad l made her feel. "
Johnny was then washed and COM
forted, but he did not soon forget the
little lesson of kindness to those in
misfortune.

FOUR DOGS.

There were four dogs one summer day
Went ou, for morning walk.
And as they trotted along their way
They began to laugh and talk
Said Dog No I, Il really think
My master is very wise;
For he builds great houses tall and grand
That reach clear up to the skies"
Said Dog No. >, in ascornful tone.
"Ho! Hol That's wonderful-yes!
But listen to me-my master writes books!
He's sold 4 million, guess"
Then Dog No. tossed his curly head
And gave a sly little wink.
That's nothing to tell! Ny master is rich!
He owns half the world. think"
The fourth little dog had been rotting along
With wise reflective mind.
At last he said with happy smile.
my master-he is kind"
Now if your opinion should be asked.
wonder what you would say
Which dog paid the sweetest compliment
To his master on that day?

A SCHOONER LOST.
Grow of Seven Believed 10 Have Been
Drowned


Milwaukee, May 27.-The wreck of a
three nlasted schooner. its decks flush
with the water. and apparently desert
ed. was sighted by Capt Mcleod Of the
steamer Boston yesterday. The wreck
was about ten miles off shore and be-
tween sheboygan and Milwaukee. The
Boston passed within five miles of the
wreck and the strong glasses Of the Off
GERS failed to show the slightest sign OF
life on the decks or in the rigging.
The Boston passed thru quantities of
slabs, which extended for twenty miles
in the lake. The slabs We're ten 10 fif-
teen miles from shore. Marine men
here believe the waterlogged schooner Is
the c. H. Hackley or Milwaukee and
that her captain and six men in the
crew have been lost
The Hackley was bound for sheboy-
gan with a cargo of slabs and was due
in that port just before the gale on Fri
day. The Hackley has not arrived in
port. No other schooners are reported
missing. l is believed the slabs come
from the Hackley's 3 decklead The rest
of the load. in the schooner's hold
would keep it afloat
The Hackley is owned by H. Oeterling
who was in command on the last voy-
age, 1t was built in 1865. measured 2o7
gross tons and was IA feet long by -
feet beam. II was built for Hackley Of
Muskegon and for many years carried
the lumber trade from his mills.

Albany, n. Y, May 27.-Five persons

TO REDUCE INDEMNITY
Ministers ut Pckin Agree on sub
stantial Reduction-victory for the
United states.

Pekin, May Pit seems that Great
Britain's proposition limiting the in
demnity to be demanded from China to
45o,oooooo taels will be agreed to by the
end of this week. Commissioner Rock
hill thinks this may be considered an
American victory. Tho his proposition
limiting the indemnity to 310,O00000
taels was not accepted. still it was the
cause of the other considering the idea.
The cnly point likely to cause further
delay in the decision by all the powers
except America is that regarding the
raising of foreign customs to per cent
Rockhill told the ministers at a recent
meeting that rather than take this ster
America would relinquish all claims IL
indemnity and even make a money
present to China as American CONNER
cial interests would suffer far more
thereby than those of any other power,
with possibly one exception.

Mr.. Stickney declares that his COM
pany will proceed al once to conJruct
extensions to Sioux City and Omaha.
These new lines are to be built under
the charter of the Mason City &.

The extension will run out of Fort
Dodge about a dozen miles then will
