LONG.DISTANCE BELLIES.

II Is a familiar statement that women
who go TO the country for the summer
seem to find more delight in their trips
to town than their sojourn at the
summer resort. The frequency with
which they come into town depends on
their ingenuity in inventlng some press
ing necessity for seeing the dress
maker, the dentist or the doctor 1t
is usually the dentist who serves them
the pretext for visit TO town at any
time.
The superiority OF the girl who goes
oftenest TO town over her associates in
the hoiel is always noticeable. She
shares temporarily the continued tri-
crybody knows, is looked upon 10y the
other young women as worthy Of envy
In the highest degree.
Next to the girl who is engaged and
the girl who goes oftenest TO town. the
girl who is most frequently called up
on the telephone is regarded as n
fayOrlte of fortune. To be called up on
Inc IohS-dlstance pnOne from New
York must mean something serious,
summer boarders say. 1t is expensive
enough to imply that the engagement
is almost ready to announce.
To he called up once a week to the
'pbone will fiji the other young women
at the hotel with excitement, while to
he called up daily fills the hearts Of
the others with chagrin, not excluding
the engaged one and the one that goes
oftenest TO town.
1t is only by these vicarious methods
that girls may be bellies in the summer
hotels to-day. The number Of men in
these places is so small and most of
them are so young that actual superior
ity among the girls struggling for their
attention is a hollow victory.-Indian-
apolis News.

A SHETLAND PONY FARM.

A Shetland pony farm, where ponies
are raised and trained for their life
work. is full OF interest 10 one who al
mires the gentle little creatures. The
Chicago Tribune describes such farm.
located in Wayne County. Indiana.
where about 200 OF the little. animals
are raised every year.
There are warm barns with long
rows OF straw-littered stalls. Overhead
are mows of sweet-smelling hay. and a
trough Of pure running water sparkles
and gurgles at one end OF each barn.
Each stall contains a pony, aud they
are all as quiet and well behaved as \
thoroughly disciplined school Of chill
dren. III a stranger enters the barn. II
Is instantly known by every pony
there: and there is a turning Of heads
and switching Of tails indicative o.
restrained curiosity.
There is a broad and long space OF
clean flooring between the two rows OF
stalls. To walk along this floor and I'm.

Mrs. Allan went out in the garden
with Arthur TO look at the poor little
chickens There were thirteen of the
yellow, fluffy little things, and they
were only three days old.
They mustn't die" said Arthur. I'D
take care of them myself"
He brought basket and put all tho
little chickens into il. Then he carried
them off TO an empty oat bin in the
barn. where there was plenty of room
for them to run about.
The next morning. when Mrs. Allan
went out TO the barn TO tell Arthur TO
hunt for some eggs, she stopped at the
oat bin to look at the motherless little
chickens.
There in one corner of the bin hung
the big feather duSter. and gathered
under were all the little chickens
II thought the duster could be n
mother to them, mamma" said Arthur.
So Mrs. Allan let the duster hang in
the bin. and the thirteen little chickens
gathered under il until they were old
enough to roost on a bar.-F'lorence

Raising Alligators.

A New Orleans correspondent writes:
The departure 10y express to-day OF two
cages Of small alligators TO Hot
Springs. Ark, disclosed the existence
at that place OF an alligator ranch for
the purpose of raising alligators for the
market. and that another alligator
ranch. owned by the same breeder, is
i'm operation in Florida.
The hunting of nlligators has almost
exterminated them in Louisiana and
Florida. and IL is evident that in few
years the wild alligator will bc extinct
In view OF this and the great demand
for alligators for geological depart
ments. an effort is being made to raise
them by hand.
A considerable part of this years
riatchings. instead OF being mounted,
is being sent TO the Arkansas and
Florida ranches, and raised for the
market
IL is n slow process. bit IL is thought
that the alligator will become so much
more valuable when the wild ones are
killed OF that IL will pay to raise
them.-Philadelphia Record
