Bravery of a Mother Grouse.

When first ! came to the territory
of Washington the desire to explore
the mountains to the west of my home
near Valley grew upon me, and at the
first opportunity, taking ponies and
blankets, and accompanied by my eld-
est son, lad of II, set out on four
days trip into the new wonderland.
The summit of the range was reached
OF the second day, at point entirely
out of the line Of travel Of either In
dians or whites, and when almost at
the summit, just as we were passing
clump of bushes, on June 6, 1884, we
ran into a brood of little ruffed
grouse.
My boy was riding in front couple
of rods in advance, and the first move
of the mother bird seemed to be to
hustle her babies away from his
horses feet and just as he rode past
she rose in the air and flew directly
toward me. l pulled up my pony in
stantly, and as l sat still she flew
straight for my head rising just
above it as she came, and suddenly the
boy cried out, "She is going to alight
on your uedQ.
1t was true and to the day of my
death l shall regret that the unexpect-
ed sound of the fluttering of her wings
as she settled towards my head for an
instant started me from my compos-
ure, and the temptation to glance up
ward was momentarily irresistible,
and, in consequence, my slightuly tilt
ing hat brim frightened her while just
in the act Of setting her feet upon my
head, and swerving lightly to her left,
she swung round and settled on the
rump of the tired pony under me.
The pony stood perfectly still, and
slowly-very SLOWLY turned my head
and looked at her. Beginning in a
very low tone and gradually raising my
voice, / talked to her and to my boy
about her for minute or two before
she fiuttered away in search of her
babies.
Telling her what graceful little
beauty she was, and how we had no
thought of hurting either her or her
babies, cajoled her into listening for
quite time, and though l am well
persuaded that she had never before
seen either man or horse, l contended
that it was courage-pure and simple
which prompted her to fly in the
face of so formidable an apparation in
defense of her little ones.-Correspon-
dent Forest and Stream.

To Wash a Print Dress.

10 Waeh q Print Dress.
The washing of print dress we'll is
not nearly such a simple matter as
might be supposed, and it is of consid-
erable Importance that it should be
done well, for, although it is not ex-
pensive material to buy in the first
place, still it's making and details cost
as much as if it were, and nothing is
uglier than print dress with half the
color washed out of it. The water
should not be too hot, and into it must
neither soda nor any washing or soap
powder be put. A lather must be
made as for flannels, and but littls
soap used on the dress, and it should
only remain in the water long enough
to bring out the dirt. Next it must be
rinsed in cold water slightly salted,
and to which little vinegar has been
added. The former fixes the colors,
and the latter brightens them. Next,
wiring tightly and dry quickly, but not
iE the sun, or the colors will fade, and
If dried slowly they will run. Wearers
of print dresses should not let them
get too dirty before washing or the
color has to be sacrificed to cleanliness.

down little stream, kissing flowers
and giving drinks to poor, thirsty
grass. Many weeks passed in this
way, until at last we entered a large
river, all filthy with sticks and gravel
and tin cans and iron hoops.
l ventured to ask my mother what
place this was, and she answered:
This is the Illinois river, my child;
do you think it is dirty?" l told her
/ thought it was indeed, and that I
hoped we would soon be out of it..
lust then we whirled around corner
and my wish was granted; we were
in the Mississippi, and. though it
wasn't any cleaner than the other,
was proud to be in such grand river.
Just now we happened to be in boat
road" as called it, and we were being
whirled around and thrown up in foam,
but what cared so long as we were in
the grand Mississippi?
1t took us days and months before
we were out of the grand river, see
ing many things that l never would
have dreamed of UP in the clouds. Once
we were thrown up onto the deck of
ship, and were swept off by a man with
ribbons on his hat, which my mother
said was a sailor.
At last we were emptied into the
Gulf of Mexico. Here | thought
should die with the waves. They
RULED everything, and tossed mother
and myself around careiessly. At last
we were in rougher place; the waves
were awful there. They tossed us up
against the ships cabin holes and back
again. My mother said it was the At
lantic ocean.
Just as she said this, to our great
JOY we were taken from the awful At
lantic ocean up into our own old cloud
and we found all our old friends back
again before us.-Donald S. Mckay

A Cheap Sitting Room.

I'VE are furnishing our sitting room
on the go-without-system plan," said
a careful young housekeeper. This
system yet invented.
THE sitting room is the room be-
tween our small drawing room and the
still smaller kitchen, and it must be
used as both dining room and our
workshop. The centre Of the floor is
covered with square of linoleum,
and there is deep border Of staining
round the rest of the floor. The stain
is of rich mahogany color. 1t is ef-
fective, serviceable and cheap. Here
is the recipe: One pint of the cheap
est varnish about nickel's worth of
burnt sienna, and about a nickels
worth of brown lumber. Mix the 81
emma and the umber in the varnish un-
til good mahogany shade is obtained
and paint evenly with a rather large
brush.
I'VE got two good boxes from the
grocer's, 80 inches long. 20 inches wide
and 16 inches deep.
Jack screwed these two boxes to-
gether lengthways and hinged on
strong lids.
"Then made two mattresses to fit
the top.
First made what might be called
model mattress about six inches long
four inches wide and two inches deep
This is of strong ticking stuffed with
flock and 'buttoned' in quite a profess
sional way. After stuffing the ticking
| sewed it in places through and
through with a darning needle and
strong thread.
'The miniature mattress was then
covered with remnant Of pink bro
cede, the edges bound with narrow
pink ribbon, and little tufts of thick
floss silk at regular intervals, as on a
real mattress. Here had charming
and novel pincushion, that is also very
useful.
at will hold hat pins as well as
small pins.
After making the model mattress
! found it an easy matter to do the
same work on a large scale. find that
the real secret in making a good mat
tress is in the buttoning. l stuffed a
ticking made to fit the top of the boxes
with 'flocks' and put my sofa mattress
on the floor, leveled it as though max
ing a bed, and sewed through and
through each place where the buttons
go with packing needle and fine
twine, taking care to finish off the
stitches securely.
''The valance is of terra Gotta serge,
double width, and has a tape run
through the top, which is caught on
small tacks at intervals and fastened
round two small nails at each end of
the couch.
THE top cover is width Of the
serge edged all round with ball fringe
and shaped at the corners to fit the
mattress. s."-Washington Star.

Raindrop's Own Story.

We are all little raindrops frolicking
up in a cloud. l never knew how we
got there until my mother told me. OF
course, there isn't anything else to
say about it, except that we were
drawn up in vapor to this cloud. But
l can tell you what happened to me
after that, and make it good long
story too.
AS l say, we were all frolicking
around, and pretty soon we heard a
great crash, and we were all falling to
the ground, even mother after me. We
saw our old home, the cloud leaving
us.
We came down in this way all night,
and in the morning we landed in some

Pens and Ink.

The first ink used by the ancients
was probably some sort of SCOT or
lampblack rendered fluid with gum
water. An ink of this sort is less flow-
ing than our modern ink, and not so
we'll adapted to rapid writing, but it
had the great advantage of being a
solid body of an unalterable color.
This advantage appears in manuscripts
dug up at Herculaneum, which, al
though burned to perfect charcoal
and buried for nearly Is centuries, are
still legible. The ink remains as if
embossed upon the surface, and ap-
pears blacker than the burned paper
The reed, which was the first pen in
use. was sort Of bullrush, growing
in many parts of the east. These reeds
were cut in the manner Of a quill, and
are still used by natives who write the
Arabic character. Nations who have
adopted the Chinese character use
camel's hair pencil, which is held per-
pendicularly in the hand. This would
seem little adapted for rapid writing,
yet the Chinese write their complicat-
ed characters by means of these i'm
plements with a rapidity seldom
equaled by European writer's.
The quill appears to have been first
in use about the year 500. The word
"penna," meaning quill, is not found
in any work older than that period.
Previous to that we find usually the
word "calamus," reed. The qiull has
an advantage over the reed in being
finer and more durable, the same quill
often serving for weeks or even
months. Some ancient writer used
the same pen for 40 years, and then,
losing it by accident, bewailed his loss
bitterly. 1t is said that the translat-
or Pliny completed that work with
single pen, and celebrated his achieve
ment in this verse:
With one sole pen l wrote this book,
Made of gray goose quill;
A pen it was when I it took;
A pen l leave it still.-Brooklyn
Eagle.

GREENWOOD BANK
LOSES $4,000

MELVILLE, Wis, Nov. 5.-Robbers
blew open the vault of the bank at
Greenwood, Clark county, Monday
night and secured $1,000.
One of tie most daring robberies ever
perpetrated in this section was that
of the State bank of Greenwood by
four masked men at 1880 o'clock yes
terday morning. The loss is not
known accurately, but it is thought
that the bandits got away with $4,000.
Themen we're surprised at their work
by band of citizens, armed with Win
chesters, who surrounded the bank
In spite of the trap, the robbers
fought their way through and escaped.
A dozen shots were exchanged, but NO
one was hurt The thieves escaped
with team which was in waiting.
Fifty men with bloodhounds are on
their trail. The loss is fully insured
The work was plainly that of profess
SIGNALS. The vault doors and safe are
entirely ruined. A bottle of nitrogly-
cerine, a sledge, and other tools were
left. All the currency and gold were
taken, hut the silver was left.
The bank will resume business as
soon as a new safe can be delivered.
Depositors will not lose cent.

MAJORITY MAY, HOWEVER, BE
REDUCED BY FOUR.
SOME STATES IN DOUBT
But Indications Point to the Roll EN-
bracing 353 Republicans and 81
Democrats - Delaware Situation
May Change These Figures Some
what.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The next
United States senate will be repub-
lican by at least 16 majority against
the present majority of 20. The pres
ent senate contains "a republicans and
"a democrats. The terms of 80 sena-
tors expire with the present congress.
There is vacancy from Michigan
caused by the death of Senator Nc
MILAN. Of these 81 seats to be filed,
not including two from Delaware, but
including the Mcmillan vacancy, 10
are now republican and IL democrat
ic, Wellington of Maryland being
classified as a republican, and Harris
of Kansas, McLaur1n Of South Caro-
lima and Teller of Colorado as demo
Gratis. AS it now stands the repub-
licans are sure of So and the demo-
Gratis of "a members of the next SEN
ate. The result of the contests, owing
to the meager returns at this hour, is
still in doubt in Nevada, Idaho, Utah
and Colorado with the chances favor
ing the election of democratic legisla-
lures in Colorado, Idaho and Nevada,
andof a republican legislature in Utah.
If these probabilities should be real
lied the senate will stand SO re-
publicans, 81 democrats, loss of four
to the republicans compared with the
present political division. If the pres
ent republican legislature of Delaware
should be called in extra session and
should be able to gather and elect
two republican senators before the
lican strength in the senate will be in
creased two, giving the dominant par
ty majority of 20, or just what they
have in the present senate.

COMMITS NUMEROUS ASSAULTS
AND is FINALLY CAUGHT.
INSANITY Is SUGGESTED
Great Sensation Caused by the Ar
rest of Alan G. Mason, Prominent
Club Man, Wealthy Manufacturer
and Notable Graduate of Harvard
College.

Boston, Nov. Sin connection with
the fifteen murderous assault cases
which have occurred in Cambridge,
Brookline and Somerville in the last
few months, two of which resulted
fatally, the police have arrested Alan
G. Mason of Boston, we'll known and
wealthy business man, member of
the Piano manufacturing firm OF
Mason & Hamlin, prominent club
member and Harvard graduate. The
police suspect that Mason has been
a victim of mental trouble for which
he was treated at the Mclean asylum
at Waverly. About year ago he was
permitted to leave the institution. The
fact that he had been frequently seen
about the localities in which the as
sautts occurred led to the suspicion
against him,
The peculiar assault cases which
have terrorized Cambridge and vicin-
ity, as we'll as other suburban Sec
lions, began last June. During the
summer there were half a dozen vic
tins Of an unknown assailant each
of whom was struck down and beaten
with a blunt instrument. Early in
October Agnes McPhee was assaulted
in Somerville and died from her in
juries. An iron wrench was found
and fixed upon as the weapon used.
During the same month eight other
cases followed, the last of which oc-
Cured Saturday night when Clara A.
Morton, a laundress with the Mclean
asylum, was accosted on the grounds
of that institution and beaten with a
blunt instrument. Miss Morton died
Sunday Mason was taken into custody
at his mothers home. He made no
objections and on the way to police
Headquarters it is said he admitted
to the officers that he was in Somer-
vile on the night on which Miss Nc
Phee was fatally injured.
Mason has a mother and three
brothers and is a cousin of John Mason,
the well known actor. While in
college he displayed pronounced mu-
steal taste and was president of the
Glee club. He was also an athlete of
some note.
