AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

near Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy is sure that all the dear
children must be tired trying to guess
ber age. so she thinks that some 9TH
or question may prove more inter
estiDg. Really she is so old that it is
not worth while to think about her
ace. Aunt Busy is anxious to hear
from her girls and boys about their
ambitions for the future, when they
leave school
Of course the boys will have to
chose some profession as will some
Of the girls. Aunt Busy thinks this
will prove an interesting subject for
both. Perhaps some of the nieces
do not wish to consider the question
Of having to work. Well, these little
girls can tell what they think will be
their favOrite study, pleasure or ac-
complsbment. Aunt Busy hopes to
receive replies from all the dear chill
dren. This viii be a far more inter-
esting subject than Aunt Busy's age.
The poor old soul! When Aunt Busy
makes her last viii and testament she
will instruct her lawyer to have her
age put on her tombstone. Then the
nieces and nephews will know her
age if they wish. Now, about the new
subject for you to write about! Aunt
Busy hopes that the interest in the
subject viii begin right from this
week. Do not neglect Aunt Busy
during vacation. ReneD5e that she
will like to hear about picnics, fishing
parties. lake parties, mountain climb
ing and all other pleasures of the
happy summer days, even if she
spends the summer at her desk. You
will not forget during vacation how to
write letters if you remember,
Your loving old,
AUNT BUSY.

HE is NOT WANTED.

Most people are intelligent enough
to know their own interest. And it
does not take much hard thinking to
convince an honest minded and in
telligent man that drunkenness is a
curse, and that moderate drinking
often leads to it. Drunkenness does
not make man respectable today. 1t
does not recommend him for a respon-
sible position. 1t does not entitle him
to the confidence of his friends. The
railroad company does not want a
drunkard in the signal house or on
the locomotive. The steamship COM
pany does not want him on the bridge.
The commercial house or banking in
stitution does not want him handling
its funds. The merchant does not
want him behind the counter. The
manufacturer does not want him be-
side the machine. We do not call in
a drunken physician if we care much
for the patient. We do not expect a
drunken lawyer to win a suit. We do
not want drunken clerks in our stores.
We do not want drunken judges ON
the bench. There is the strongest ar
gument with most people in favor of
temperance, and even in favor of total
abstinence.

with steel pillow drawn by horses.
Ihen he makes the ground fine with
harrow, which usually has iron
teeth, like the teeth of a comb. Aft
er that he sows the seed and rakes il
IN with the harrow. The Egyptians at
hrst mad no plows or horses, but they
were ingenious and soon found a way
out of the difficulty: they used their
pigs for plows and horses.
once every year their great muddy
river overlooked its banks. as if does
to this day, and covered the land
with mud, in which were many water
animals. When the river went back
into its channel again the fields were
dry. Then the Egyptian called his
pigs together by blowing a shell horn
and turned them into the field.
The pigs were happy, for there was
feast before them At once thew
put in their noses and began to pillow
for wriggling worms and dead fishes.
Soon large field was plowed by the
noses and narrowed smooth by the
feet of the pigs. The work was done
Tor the present. The pigs were called
off, and the seed wheat was sowed
over the field. Then the seed had
to be covered. Here was another puz-
zle.
The Egyptian wants the feet but
he doesn't want the noses this time.
While the pigs could harrow in the
seed with their feet, they could also.
if turned into the field with free noses
eat dp all the seed. So the Egyptian
caught every pig and tied a tiny bas-
ket, or muzzle, over its nose. Then
he turned the whole herd into the field
again.
Then there was trouble. The pigs
could see and smell the wheat, but
could not eat it. Half crazy, they
over the whole field, and
thus trod in and planted the seed.
After the crop was grown and ripe,
the straw with heads full of wheat
was spread on a clean piece of ground
Again the pigs, with their noses muz-
zled, were turned on to thresh the
grain with their feet. Necessity, you
know, has ever been the mother of
invention.

An Inherited Taste.

Sweetmeats appear to have been
plentiful in the American colonies
from early days, according to Alice
Morse Earle. The first native poet
of New England wrote complainingly
as early as 1875:
From Western isles new fruits and
delicacies
Do rot maids teeth and spoil their
handsome faces.
Strings of rock candy came from
China, but were rivalled by a distinct
ly native sweet-maple sugar Chill
dren who lived in coast towns reaped
the sweet fruits of their fathers for
eign ventures. When a ship came into
port with eighty boxes of sugar can
dy on board and sixty tubs Of rock
candy, poor indeed was the child who
was not surfeited with sweets. There
was a sequel, however, to the tooth
some feast,-a bitter dessert. The
ship that brought eighty boxes of
candy also fetched a hundred boxes of
rhubard and ten Of SIENNA.

those COMPANY Manners.

Il wish we had company all the
time" said Ned, as his two little
friends passed out of the lawn gate.
"Why?" asked grandmamma.
why, cause everyodys so much
nicer when company's here" respond
ed the little boy.
well, perhaps that's because you
are nicer, too," suggested grandma.
"The other day, when Mildred asked
you for your jumping rope, you said
you were going to use it all the after
noon, though you had just asked Ben
son to let you go driving with him.
But today 1 heard you offer it very
politely to your company
Lets us have company manners
club'i" cried jim
"Let's!" said Mildred, with her eye
on the rope; and Ned did not like to
refuse to be member.
By degrees others among the chill
dren's friends wanted to be &C. NJ.
c." as they called it, and the result
was that teachers and grownups gen.
orally wondered what had come over
the little people who used to whistle
through the halls and slam doors and
forget to say THANK you" And,
though all this happened some years
ago, and the charter members are
now nearly grown up, the club is still
in existence, and it might not be a
bad idea for the little men and wo-
men who read this to start branch
clubs of their own. Many a person,
old as well as young, who knows how
to make visitors have a delightful time
forgets entirely to be courteous and
1nselfish and gentle with "only home
folks" And yet it is the home folks
who really are the dearest, and to
whom most is due.
What could a member of a com
oany manner club" do? Why, for in
stance, when papa comes home tired,
'un to hand him the newspaper be-
ore he has asked for it.
Respond pleasantly and cheerfully
o all that mamma asks.
Place a footstool at grandma's feet |
It table if the maid or any one has
orgotten to do so.
Do not crowd or jostle one another
IN the stairs, without some word of
Excuse, and a thousand things one
would do for company or friend
ally.
The home dinner can be made more
han thing of mere necessity if
title boy or girl can think of some
musing incident to relate that has
ccurred during the day, while all
hat papa or mamma may say can be
stened to with strict attention.
And then there might be a fine of
ne penny or two for every time a
lember broke the rules.

Edith,s cure for the blues.

Little Edith Morris had had the
blues" as the family called them,
so many times in her short life that
they threatened to become chronic.
Grandma said it was her liver, papa
said she studied too hard, while
thoughtless Tom said "She is just
cross" Mamma felt very sorry about
it, and dreaded the appearance of
the blues, which so quickly changed a
sunny little girl into such an unlovely
one.
AS Mrs. Morris returned from shop
ping one day, Tom greeted her at
the door with the announcement,
"Edith's got the blues again"
ooh, dear! has she?' said Mrs. Nor
ris, adding, anxiously, 81 hope you
have not been worrying her"
But Tom only shook his head as he
hurried off to join some friends at
basket ball A few minutes later, as
Mrs. Morris passed the door of Edith's
room, she was very much surprised
to hear her singing softly.
''Well, Tom must be mistaken this
time she thought, as, pushing the
door open, she peeped in upon pref
ty picture. Edith, wearing her pref
test house dress, and a rose in her
hair. was arranging bouquet of vio-
let's on the mantel and had just fin
shed decorating the little room with
pretty pepper branches. The furni-
lure had been busted and polished till
It fairly shone in the bright sunlight.
At Mrs. Morris surprised "Why,
lear. what is it?" Edith ran quickly
% her, exclaiming:
ooh. mamma, it does work! Isn't
t lovely?"
aWhy, Miss Alice's cure. She told

All trains of the Oregon Short Line
out of Salt Lake City start directly
from this city, and are consequently
always on time. You can depend upon
them to the minute.
This feature is the most satisfying
one in railway travel, and, in part,

me yesterday what she did, and just
thought next time I'd try it, too. And
so today, when l began feeling blue
did what she said, and decorated
for the blues. And, OH aren't you
glad, for they are all gone, and I am
SO happy?"
Mrs. Morris did not at all under
stand, but she only said, as she kiss
ed the bright little face:
Indeed l am glad, darling; and
how very pretty your room looks! |
am sure, if this is all it takes to cure
those dreadful blues, my little girl
Will never let herself have them
again-will she?"
mo, indeed, 1 shant, mamma: and
as soon as l feel them coming. I'll
begin to decorate right away, and
scare them off. Miss Alice is always
SO sweet, and 1 was so glad when
she told me how she kept the blues
away, for maybe l can be as sweet as
she is"
What can the child mean?" Mrs
Norris asked herself when alone in
her own room. 81 shall ask Alice
about it, for 1 am quite puzzled"
When Miss Alice, who was Mrs.
Morris dearest friend, dropped in that
evening, Mrs. Norris carried her off
to her own little sitting room, and
when they were comfortably seated
came to the point at once:
Now, 1 want to know all about
this new cure"
What new cure? What are you
talking about, Eleanor?" asked Alice.
in surprise.
"Why, you know. What was it you
told Edith yesterday about decorat-
ing for the blues?"
Decorating for the blues? Why.
yes; l told Edith I was going to dec
crate for the blues, but what has that
to do with the cure you asked
about?"
why, she said you told her to dec
crate to cure the blues, and today /
found her trying it. It effected such
wonderful cure that I thought Il
would ask you where you got your
idea"
Miss Alice was thoughtful for a mo-
ment, then, smiling brightly, said:
Tell me, Eleanor, what did the child
do?"
After Mrs. Morris explanation Alice
laughed softly, and said: 81 see it all
now. l remember meeting Edith yes
terday, and 1 told her l was going to
decorate for the Blues. To stimu-
late interest by a little friendly com
petition, we have classified the Sun
day school into two divisions-the
Reds and the Blues. The Blues gave
a reception to the Reds, and as 1 am
one Of the Blues, l helped in decorat-
ing the room. 1 supposed Edith knew
about the Reds and Blues, and did not
think of her taking it in the way she
has, though l am not at all sorry;
and, " thoughtfully, 81 am not sure
but that she is right, after ALL"
Edith is young lady now, and has
often laughed over her curious mis-
take; but she still insists it was an
excellent idea, and even now. when
she feels herself getting blue, if you
to peep into her room, 1 |
would not be at all surprised if you
should find that she has been decor
ating for the blues-Bertha w. Hen

Com plain of Coroner's DELAY.

Mrs Annie Taylor forty-five years cid,
widow. was instantly killed in her candy and ice
cream store at No. 101 Madison-st.. yesterday
afternoon. by the explosi IN of an overcharged
carbonic acid gas tank. Mrs Taylor was in the
her home and was filling several of the tanks
which are of steel, with walls inch and
half thick She had filled three or four when
one of them presumably became overcharged
and exploded The heavy tank broke in the
middle. and one fragment struck Mrs Taylor on
the right side of her head. tearing away the SIDE
Of her face. crushing her skull and then smash
ing a hole yard square in the ceiling The
conclusion blew a door off its hinges and com
pletely wrecked the room and its contents.
With Mrs. Taylor at the time was her daugh-
ter. Annie seventeen years old, who was stand
ing near her mother. The exploding fragments
of the tank spared her. however, and, although
pieces of timber rained about her, she was I'M
injured. The shock caused her to become I'M
conscious Several customers were in the front
of the store at the time but none were hurt
Among them were Harry Lane and Joseph
Kehoe. VINO ran into the basement and picked
up Mrs. Taylor. Fatrolman Meehan, OF the
Madison-st. station, heard the explosion, anu
CTOuVerneur Hospital. When DR.. BaJChelder ar
rived he found Mrs Taylor beyond his help and
attended her daughter.
Patrolnan Meehan and two other officers who
were on duty the scene of the explosion
complained that the coroner showed unreason-
able delay in appearing TO provide for the uis-
position of the body. Notice was sent 10 the
office according to the record at o:ll Q CLOCK
tantjon Mrs Taylor's case could not be reached
until after o'clock.
