Webster's Blue Suit.

Daniel Webster went to college in a
homespun suit, Of which probably every
thread was carded. spun and woven by his
mothers hand from the wool Of their own
sheep. 1t was a dyed-in-t he-wool suit, and
the color was indigo blue. the old New
England color. In the south it is butternut
but though our Yankee grandmothers and
Observation-Disclosures knew all

the subtle power for slate color that lay in
sumach berries and bark of white maple
and various dyes that root and flower, bark
and leaf could be made to yield. through
the agency Of vitriol and copperas to set
them fast. the universal standby was the
blue pot-par excellence the dye pot" that
stood in the chimney corner of every kitchen
worth naming. So Webster was fitted out
in indigo blue from collar to ankle-unbe-

Potato Buttons

We have real ivory and vegetable ivory.
and not many years since the threatened
ivory famine produced that remarka BILE imf.
tation we know celluloid, which has
been successfully employed for every pos
sible use. from billiard balls to piano KEYS
Today the imitation has itself been imitat-
ed. and that, too, by a curious preparation
OF potato pulp! The inventor is a Dutch
man named Knipers. He treats the waste
pulp itself a residue from the manufacture
of the artificial potato flour, with a solu-
ton of acid and glycerine. The resulting
compound takes the form of species of
stickfast. which is dried and ground to
powder. This powder is nodded into
blocks. with the aid Of water. very much
as one uses plaster of paris. There is, how
ever. this important difference. The new
compound can be cut and turned and bored
and used for every purpose, from buttons
upward. in which 1t was formerly Gus
tOmary to use bone and ivory.

Shooting of the Red Eagle.

From "Old Indian Legends" Retold by zitkals- Sa.
A man in buckskns sat upon the top Of
a little hllock. The setting shone
bright upon a strong bow in his hand.
His face was turned toward the round camp
ground at the foot of the hill. He had
walked long journey hither. He was
waiting for the chieftain's men to spy him.
Soon four strong men ran forth from the
center wigwam toward the hilock where
sat the man with the long bow.
He IS the avenger come to shoot the red
eagle cried the runners to each other
as they bent forward. swinging their ell
bows together.
They reached the side of the stranger,
but he did not heed them. Proud and
silent, he gaZed upon the cone-shaped wig
vans beneath him. Spreading a hand
man. two of the warriors lifted him by
each shoulder and placed him gently on It.
Then the four men took each a corner Of
the blanket and carried the stranger, with
long, proud steps, toward the chieftain $
teepee.
Ready to greet the stranger the tall chief
tain stood at the entrance way. How. you
are the avenger with the magic arrowv'
said he, extending to him smooth, soft
hand.
How. great chieftain.' replied the man.
holding long the chieftain's hand Enter
ing the teepee. the chieftain motioned the
young man to the right side of the door
way. while he sat down opposite him, with
a center fire burning between them. Word
less, like a bashful Indian maid the avenger
ate in silence the food set before him on
the ground in front OF his crossed shins.
When he had finished his meal he handed
the empty bowl to the chieftan's wife.

Five Black Pets.

Does any child about six and a half years
old want to hear of five black pets, which
little boy I know about six and a half
years old has? Any one who does can read
this. but 1 think no one can guess what
they are or where he keeps them. 1 told
you they We're black; now, where do you
suppose he found them. and how do you
think he brought them home? This much
l will tell you--he found them when he was
walking with his father and mother: and
as 1t was not in place at all lonely or
desolate they are not wild beasts. No,
indeed, they not for he caught them in
the grass and brought them home in a
sugar plum box! The little boy thinks they
are very contented, for they make a pleas
ant, cheerful sound often. when he says
they are Extremely happy"
. Once he asked me if l knew how they
made this pleasant sound. and then told me
he had watched them rub their wings to-
gether and that made their song So. you
see, they have wings, and yet are so small
that five of them live happily in a sugar
plum box, are black and make a pleasant
noise by rubbing their wings together. Do
you know what they are? OF course, they
must have something to eat and drink and
Of course, IL you care about them at all
you would like to know what they eat and
what they drink. 1t is not bread and but
ter nor meat and potatoes which they eat
neither is it milk that they drink, but each
morning while the grass is wet with dew
the little boy gathers handful Of it. and
then his pets have both victuals and drink,
for they eat the grass and drink the dew.
He thinks that they ought to have some
thing else however. and one day he carried
from the dinner table piece Of nice sweet
potato for them. Almost as soon as 1t was
put in the box one of them climbed on 1t
and began to eat. and they seemed to like
it very much. The idea of climbing on a
piece of sweet potato! Another day he
gave them some Bartlett pears, and that
also was good for them. They are about
i,o md n ha
the lid is left Off; but holes have been made
in 1t, so they get air with the lid on, and
they really seem very comfortable. Do you
want to know what they are. They are
five pretty little black crickets. Which
would you rather have. a box filled with
sugar plums or crickets? E. w. S.

Aunt Dorothy's Corner

Dear Children:
Aunt Dorothy thanks you all for your
kind and cheerful letters. She will be
ready in a week or two to write to you,
and she asked me to tell you that she
means to tell you some very interesting
stories about what she saw In Mexico. about
the children and the schools and many
other things of interest. Do you not think
IT would be a good PLAN in view of this, 10
get some books from the library and read
up little, so you will better understand
her stories? Let me tell you also that a
close friend of the president of Mexico has
become interested in our ChildrenS League
and means to help us actively. He Is a
famous Mexican educator Nathan de Seen
gari by name, and he intends to organize
in Mexico a large branch of the league.
Now. you must work for your laurels. or,
in point of numbers, these Mexican circles
will take the lead. as they are very en-
thusiastic down there when they really
take hold of ethical work. and President
Diaz has warm heart for children and
their happiness. Write to us and tell US
what you think will be the best plan to
give to him to help him reach his children
America and South America.
Did you know that we have f1ourishing
branch in South America? Very few peo-
pie here know of 1t, but 1t has been going
on since 1900. With best wishes.
Yours cordially,
THE CHILDREN'S EDITOR.

Some Winter Birds.

Nuthatches and Chickadee Make Snowy
Days Merry.
There are three birds that at any time,
if it is not very stormy. will help to make
many a winters day merry. These are
the two, nuthatches and chickadee. They
are often found together and are as much
features of the season as withered leaves
or snow and ice. Everybody knows the
chickadee Emerson, in poem, has been
its best biographer. But the lively nut
matches have been too much neglected Per
haps 1t is because they do not sing; yet
they are not mute, and their querulous cries
mt well with many wild winter day. Bu;
what We can see is much to be consid-
cred as what we hear. and SO wish to say
word about sights this season that So
largely take the place of sound. These
birds are always busy. and this is signif-
icant. II never idle. it behooves US to
know what is the meaning of their cease
less activity. Watching them closely we
find they are searching for food Like
ourselves, they must eat to live. but the
trunk of a tree does not appear to be
a promising field for food. This is because
our eyes are not sharp as theirs and
we get a valuable hint from this simple
fact. If we looked at all objects more
closely than we are apt to do. we would
see more. In winter nature does not dis
play herself for our ready recognition. Only
