WASHING THE DISHES.

Our Polly goes a-fishing, be the weather
what 1t may,
Not less than twice, and often thrice, on
every holiday;
She always starts right after meals, and
singing merrily,
She fishes and she fishes in her little Soapy
Sea.
She'll catch the best pink china cups, and
play that they are trout,
And when she drops her line again she'll
draw spoon-minnows out;
The plates, of course, are founders $50
round and fiat, you know)
The Kitchen knives are hungry sharks out
watching for foe;
Each saucepan is pollyweg, with handle
for tail,
And-"There she blows!''-the frying-pan!
how very like a whale!
There's nothing left-pour out the sea, and
put the fish away,
All high and dry, and waiting to be caught
another day.

around among the shrubhery and climb
trees in perfect confidence that no ami
NAL can easily drive them away from
their home. The mother porcupine
made her nest in some nearby hollow
log. The little ones, to the number
of two or three in each home, We're
born early last month, and by this time
are able to go out with their mother
and seek food as she does.
Then there is that home in mid-air,
the nest of the Baltimore oriole. The
home surely looks enough like hor-
nets nest to deceive a bird of prey.
Some naturalists regard it as an ex-
ample of real "protective mimicry."
In marked contrast to this bird home
swaying in even the slightest breeze
is that of the kingfisher, in hole in
the solid bank of earth by the pond
side. Not far away from this bank,
down in the deepest water, is the fam
ily of the bullheads-in some localities
called catfish or horned pouts. How
fierce and persistent is the mother in
protecting her little ones! In spite of
this little bullhead does now and then
disappear, and some perch swims off
less hungry than before.-St. Nicholas.

HEROIC LITTLE MARY.
BY Her self-PoSsession Ten Yenr-old
Katie Murphy Saved Her
Mothers Life.

Hear this story of little girl who
was as great hero as any grown man
could have been. She was Katie
Murphy. Katie was only ten years
old, but she had more knowledge and
experience of life than many a rich
girl twice her age has. That is the
advantage of being poor-if there are
any advantages that is-you learn of
life in many phases, most of them
hard and unpleasant. But you learn
also to do things and take care of
things and to think and reason in
some ways that you would never know
at all if you were rich.
Katie Murphy's mother was a widow
with five children. Tommie and Char
lie, aged eight and six, went to school,
while Katie stayed at home and took
care of Mary and Nellie, the little ones.
Mary was four; Nellie, the baby, was
two. Mrs. Murphy went out to work
every day, leaving home at seven and

The lawyers Rule.

"Ever since beginning the practice
of law" said Detroit lawyer, who
begged that his name be suppressed,
'I have made it a rule not to take
cases in which could not promise my
client percentage of gain over my
fees. One day not long ago business
man came to me with request to sue
a debtor. l found that it would cost
far more than could be recovered, and
told him so. He was indignant. and
left vowing to get a lawyer to press
the case regardless of expenses. A
few weeks later he came to me again,
Well said he, L took your advice and
saved $3.50 by 1t. Now l want you to
take charge of all legal matters affect
ing the Blank corporation. Your re-
tainer will be $4,000 per year, took
IT, it Is needless to say,"-Detroit

O. HERE is no doubt that we
.N%tA are following the example
" dEA ", set us in Paris, and are
I SWkyyly making 1t white season.
e=SSsa%f@1 There has been a practical
reason for the wearing of
white, odd as the word practical" may
sound in connection with such an un-
seviceable color. 1t means that In the
cold weather from which we all suf-
fered in the late spring and early sum-
mer, white fabrics gave a suggestion
of sunny days to come, and yet were as
warm as cloths, of darker hue. Thus
hopsacks, serges, cloths, and hun
.dred and one new canvas materials and
voiles in cream and white have been
much in vogue during the past two
months.
OF the white gowns none are more
attractive than the French tailor-built
affairs Ever so smart is a white
serge, made with a series of seven
flounces, graduated from about four
inches below the waist, and very
frou-frouy at the feet. Each of these
fiounces has border of large black
spots of various Sizes These spots
also form a trimming on the smart
coat bodice, which Is finished with a
yoke of most exquisite lace, with a
touch of rose-pink underneath, and
will be worn with a wide band and a
simple black hat, with no decoration
Beyond wreath of glorious velvet
wieuX-rose pansies. With this is to be
carried q white silk en-tout-cas with
black spots thereon. This black and
white costume is the very essence of
.smartness. To wear over it is a loose
taffeta coat, with big pelerine cape
of old guipure, lined with Zibeline.
Yet another French frock, which is
extraordinarily simple, is in peri
winlIe blue cloth edged with the
sweetest little entre-deuX of cream
lace, outlined with black and white
chenille braid. This is made in the
form OF tunic, fastening with early
victorian buttons, finishing with a
black panne belt, with straps of en-
broidery decorating the rather full,
fairly short skirt. When l say short, l
mean it just touches the ground all
round.
Now, in direct contrast to this, and
In view of hot summers day, there
are some glorious hand-painted mus
lins on a silky ground. Pompadour
designs are, of course, most popular,
and their beauty is wonderfully en-
hanced by the addition of little coat,
either in very fine, old-fashioned en-
broidered lawn, or some real lace.
The skirts of these are accordion
plated, finely gauged or plisse, and
most of them are made with separate
fiounce. which joins the skirt below
the knees in order to give the neces-
.sary amount of frou-frou.
Muslin and lace gowns really deserve
pages to themselves. A pale green
muslin has punches of orange pome-
granates painted thereon, and seems to
consist of an intricate mass of gaug-
ings, tucliings and insertions. A very

BIRDS AND ANIMALS
In the Lovely Month of June the Hap
pIness of Their Home Life Is
at It's Height.

You will recall James Russell Low
those familiar lines:
"And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days"
These expressions also linger in our
memories: "The little bird sits at his
door" "The high tide of the year"
and "Everything is happy now" We
all agree with Lowell that everywhere
in June there is home-life and happi-
ness. And what host and variety of
homes there are! We find them of
many forms and down in queer places.
Perhaps one of the queerest is the
home of the swifts inside chimney at
the farmhouse. All Gay these soot-col-
ored little birds have been racing
through the air, twittering socially
and gathering insects for the little ones
in the many homes down in that big
chimney. Perhaps there may be as
many as a thousand birds living in one
of these large, old-fashioned chimneys
"a bird village in SCOT and smoke.
Did you ever see a chimney swift alight
on tree? Did you ever see him alight
anywhere? What persistent workers
they are!
Another family gathering that in
terests us is that of the porcupines
feeding on water plants at the pond
side by moonlight. Altogether fam
lily of dull wits we might call them. for
it would be difficult to find animals
more intensely stupid. But they prize
their pondsiSe home, and wander

high fitted band of blue mousseline
garnished with smartly interlaced
straps, outlined with white, of course
(but you must bear in mind that there
is but tones difference between
white and this palest of the opals
blues), is one of the distinguished fea-
lures, and large puffed early Victorian
sleeves, finished at the elbow by wide
straight gauntlet cuffs en- suite, with
the collar and entradeuX, are notably
another one. Beneath the cuffs peep
fascinating little plaitings of finest
batiste, lace inserted, and below this
again are under cuffs of linon embroid-
cry silk enhancal. The vest is of
finest, much elaborated, semitranspar-
ent, batiste, and the lining throughout
of white taffetas.
The hat designed to be worthy OF
this gown turns off the face in a very
becoming and slightly Victorian man
ner, and is of fine white chip narrowly
edged with burnt chip, which is clev-
erly accentuated with small black
lines, for most smart things have a
touch of black nowadays, and very be-
coming it is, too, and the long soft
tulle strings, to tie or float at pleas
ure, passing round the crown and held
by a greenish Part nouveau stud, are
black also. Soft white plumes droop
under the brim over the hair and away
to almost touch the shoulder, just dis
closing en- route tight chou of rosy
champaign" satin, while a cluster of
roses of the same fashionable hue,
with their glossy shaded leaves, deco
rate the crown and complete this
charming picture chapeau. AS finish
ing touches come the stole and sun
shade. The former is of softest white
chiffon, much gagged between hori-
zontal lines of wide ruching

are mostly of a large order with

The Louis XIV shoes with big
buckles never come amiss, and your

as you please. This is of as much i'm

do not form a very expensive item
the only point is they must be cut by
good tailor. And, after all, 1t is
