however, clean an oil painting safely

cloth, or till it is so softened by moist.

ture dry, when it should be gone over
carefully with piece of cotton wool
saturated in pure linseed oil. The paint
will then look fresh and new. On no
account must soap be used, and an
oil painting should never be touched
with anything harder than a piece of
lint or cotton wool. For busting there
is nothing better than an old silk
handkerchief.

A Ball for Foxy.

One day Elsie went down town and
when she came home she brought Fox
a ball. It wasn't very big ball, just
mouth, and too big for him to swal
low And it was made of hard rubber
so Fox couldn't bite it to pieces, no
matter how hard he tried.
Fox had never seen ball before
and he didn't know what to make of it
now He had often played with sticks
and bits OF coal, but a ball was some
thing new.
Elsie sat down on the floor and
rolled the ball to Fox, and FoX's eyes
most popped out of his head as he
jumped about barking at this funny
rolling thing.
At last he picked it up and sat down
to chew it, just as he did the sticks,
but he found that was no use. Then
he dropped it and the ball rolled lit
tie ways. That was queer, it scared
Fox, and he was afraid to touch the
hall again. He would go UP to it care
fully and take a sniff and then jump
away with a funny little bark that
said: Il wonder what this strange
thing can be?" Elsie and mother had
great fun watching him.
When he found the ball did not
move he carefully picked it up again
and ran around the room with it. Elsie
chased him and Fox lodged under
tables and chairs to get away from her.
Once he dropped the ball and it
bounced-that was another funny
hing Fox tried dropping it again;
le liked to see it jump up and down.
After he had played with it for a
ong time Fox found he could toss the
all up in the air and that he would
make it bounce higher. Then there
vas fun. He tore around the room with
he ball, throwing it up and then run
ling after it again, and all the time
living little growls to frighten Elsie
nd make her keep away from him.
Ie was having a good time by him
elf; nobody must touch his ball.

Boyhood's Am billions.

Boyhoods Am mbitions.
Very early in the life of all normal
boys, they begin to think on what
they will do when they get to be men.
Not only do they think of their fu-
ture occupation, but in enthusiastic
boyish candor they proclaim to those
about them what they mean to do or
to be when they grow up.
The author of "a Boys Town." Will
liam Dean Howells, tells us that when
he was a boy he wished to become
canal driver, then when he grew
little oloer he felt sure his career was
to be that of a circus actor. with
manhood's years, however, came
taste for the art of rhyming, and from
that time he has never wished to be
other than an author.
When Admiral Dewey was boy MS
most ardent DESIRE" according to his
own statement, was to be an officer IN
the army" Through the interpositlon
Of fate" he has become the head or
the American navy.
John Philip Sousa has accomplished
that for which he longed while yet
mere boy. Then his absorbing am
bition was to become composer
Joseph Jefferson, the great inter-
prefer of rip Van Winkle," dreamed,
while yet a mere boy, of becoming
great actor, and he tells us that he has
never had a desire to become any
thing else"

DEER AS SMALL GAME.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY MADE IN
NEW YORK STATE.
Bones Found Prove the Animal Could
Not Have Been More Than Six Inches
Hixh-kors Leg and Foot OF the
Skeleton Remain Intact

Bones Of tiny deer, five and one
half inches high at the shoulder, and
small enough to be slowed away in a
coat pocket, have been found IN a
ploughed field in Rensselaer, county,
near Troy, N. Y.
A fore foot and leg of the skeleton
remain intact. From these it Is possi-
Bile to determine the exact proportions
Of the remarkable creature, and to
know, beyond question, that the skele-
ton is that of deer.
The bones prove that the deer had
matured, but whether 1t belonged to a
diminutive species, or was dwarf.
is not known
The epiphyses, or ends Of the bones,
are firmly united to the shaft by os-
seus tissue, showing that the leg found
belonged to an adult deer.
This tiny deer doubtless lived in
that middle age of animal life when
ever the horse was represented in a
species of little creatures with five
toes. 1t was an age in which the ami
great Irish deer, which was probably
contemporaneous with the little deer
of New York, was even larger than
the largest deer of this day. On the
other hand, there were the little horses
and the diminutive creatures Of many
other species, one Of which is probably
represented by the extraordinary deer
