THE CITY SPORTSMAN.

He purchased dog and q hunting suit, q
brand new gun and q lot OF shells;
3 He wrote for terms to farmer friend, en-
listing trusty guide,
And the day the hunting season began no
hustled away, q happy man,
Loaded down with sportsman things,
none of which he had tried
And there he found,
Upon the ground
Others, like him, full of hope and pride.
They took the field like an army corps.
The guide was brave, though he faced
their guns. and promised that he
would stay;
But each man knew the danger that lies in
wait for man who closes his eyes
When he shoots, SO they kept theirs open
wide and marched with joy to the
fray: @
And then at last.
And the morning passed.
quail rose up and whirred away.
Each gun went up and the guide dropped
down; the dogs stood still In their
tracks;
The triggers were pulled and the guns
reports resembled a cannon's roar.
The poor little quail turned somersault-
twas shot clear through to heavens
blue vault
And they gathered around to joliify at
their glorious gunshot score.
Though none could tell
Whose shotted shell
Had spilled the little fowls goreD
And that was the only bird they saw; but,
nevertheless, to-day
They have him stuffed and placed in a case
in a club not far away.
And they point with pride to this patent
fact-they hunted with so much care
They shot neither guide nor friend nor dog
and that Is a record rare!

MISS CARR smiled as she glanced
lvl at the blackboard, and her cheek
reddened. A rude drawing of soldier,
labeled Teachers Beau adorned the
room, evidently the work of one of the
boys.
Robert" she said, quietly, to a lad
OF IL, who sat giggling behind his slate,
take the floor, please, and, first, clean

The whole school broke into laugh,
but Miss Carr looked over the lessons
for the day, and left Robert standing,
first on one foot, then on the other, in
the middle Of the floor The other chill

and young feet were tingling to be out

young hearts were full of anticipations
over the morrow. Children were chill

A petition was already signed by
every boy and girl in the school, asking
that Friday be made holiday, SO that
there might be four whole days of free
dom and delight. But Rob, the prime
mover in the affair, was in disgrace, and
how was he going to act, with the petit
ton in his pocket, too, so no one else
could present it?
At last Rob solved the problem.

ABOUT ENGAGEMENTS.
II Girl Really Loves a Man She VIII
Wait for Him Patiently and
Without Doubt.

1t is one thing to fall in love and an
other to propose marriage. Men may
be wise and cautious; they may have
most sensibly made up their minds that
it would be neither right nor fair for
them to speak, and they may have def
nitely resolved not to say word on
the subject of marriage till they have,
at least, q prospect Of making 3 home
for wife. @
Then there comes an accidental upset
to their calculations word, a look,
blush, smile. All these fine reasonings
are thrown to the winds; they have
blurted out the love they meant to keep
concealed till the correct moment OF.
avowal came. Araminta has confessed
she reciprocates the devotion she is told
OF, and nothing remains but to ask
papa'S consent, and visit jewelers..
But then comes the side that is rot
all rapture. At first, to be engaged is
enough to send any two adoring people
up Tito seventh heaven OF bliss; but
by and by that ceases entirely to satisfy.
They would like to marry, to belong en-
tirely to each other; to set up house
keeDing, and know all the delights OF a
hone which the other shares. The true
test OF love is not in the proposing and
accepting, neither is it in the buying
and wearing the ring; 1t is in the wait
ing with patience and indefinite time
for the fulfillment OF hope of which
the proposal and the engagement ring
were merely a pledge.
The question again and again arises:
How long is it reasonable for man
to ask a girl to wait for him." II it is
q year, or even two, or three, he may
be justified; for, after. all, there is a
definite end to the waiting, which draws
nearer every day. = But if after five
years, say, the end looks no nearer-if|
he is still just as unlikely to be able to
support wife-should he still expect
a girl to go on wasting the best years OF
her life on his behalf?
If she really loves him, it will not mat
ter to her though she waited for him
20 years. 1t will be such an utter i'm
possibility for her to think of any other
man than himself that she will not feel
her chances in other directions are be-
ing spoiled, for if she may not marry
him, she would rather not marry any
one else while the world lasts. She win
count any waiting short and light that
has the hope of being his wife at the end
of it, and she will wait without de-
sire to be free. II she does, not love him
why that is 6ifferant mat ter and she
had better not undertake at all a waiting
which she will find intolerable.-Chi-

Not M Far a. She knew.

Sir Francis Burnand, in his history of
Punch, tells a good story of Sir Arthur
Sullivan's mother. She was dining with
the Duke of Edinburg. when she startled
him by saying: "Sir, your family name
is GUELPH"
my dear mother" began Arthur, re-
monstrating.
s'But it is, isn't it," she persisted.
Certainly replied the duke, much
amused; what's the matter with it, Mrs
Sullivan?"
ooh, nothing" returned the excellent
old lady, musingly, only don't under
stand why you don't call yourself by
your proper name"
There's nothing to be ashamed of in
the name of Guelph" the duke said,
gravely, and the old lady assured him
that there was nothing whatever as far
as she knew"

Hygienic value Of Fruit.

Hygienists all agree in telling us
that we do not eat sufficient fruit.
which is infinitely more productive of
health and beauty than candy and
pastry. Ripe apples are, especially
healthy, and children may eat them
without danger. Some doctors saw
that an apple at bedtime produces
sleep. Pears are more tasty than ap-
pies, but not so healthy unless cooked
Prunes have medicinal qualities which
cannot be denied. They are better
cooked. however. Apricots are also
more healthy cooked than raw.
Peaches are very healthy. The most
healthy of all fruit, however, are
grapes. Gooseberries and currants are
best cooked. Figs are also excellent;
they were in great favor with ancient
Roman ladies, who always ate them
for breakfast. Pineapples are said to
be the best cure for dyspepsia yet
known. Nuts of all kinds are indigest-
ible. Oranges are also excellent as
cure for dyspepsia. Lemons produce
cheerfulness and prolong life.

narrowest of hens, and also sew it
across the top cover, which has been
hemmed, leaving the loops as shown
in the drawing for the armholes, which
with the part cut out in will make
all the armhole needed. You can meas
ure an old cover for this measurement,
being sure to get it large enough SO it
will not draw or be tight, and allow a
little for shrinkage. Then sew narrow
beading across the top of insertion, but
not down the front edges. by beading,
l mean lace or insertion with holes in,
so that you can run ribbon through.
Edge the beading with lace edging, and
the top of the cover is finished, except
to run in the beading any desired color
of baby ribbon. Around the armholes
put row of beading edged with lace
and run in ribbons, finishing the arm
holes.
Gather the bottom of the cover to fit
the waist, having the center OF piece b
in the center of the back. Sew wide
beading at the bottom, fixing the gath
ers firm and stationary, and running
wider ribbon through the beading for
the belt The sewing with the excep
ton Of the belt and the hemming is all
over and over. The insertion and lace
are about an inch wide, and the bead
ing about half an inch or little wider.
This makes a very full cover and a
very pretty and dainty one. It takes
five and half yards of both lace and
insertion, two and quarter yards of
narrow beading. three-Quarters OF a
yard beading for belt, five yards narrow
ribbon and one yard wider ribbon for
belt.-C. B. Morse, in Farm and Home.

STAFF STATUARY.
Foundation and Modelling of the Or
namental Figures Used mt
Worlds Fairs.

''The process OF creating the large
pieces of statuary out of staff is very
interesting" writes Katherine Louise
Smith, in Parsons after the sculp-
tor has sent his accepted model to the
fair, the work of enlargement begins,
and one or several pieces, as occasion
requires, are finished, each of which is
an exact counterpart Of the model on an
enlarged scale.
staff is simply long fiber soaked in
plaster of paris, mixed thin with water.
This fiber, which is generally Mexican.
comes in bales of 100 pounds, and Oh
it's arrival in the rope stage is run
with this hemp fiber, staff can be sawed,
hammered, and whitfield like wood,
while various forms can be made as ef-
fectively as with plaster Of paris alone.
"A staff modeler proceeds exactly as
though his work were to be executed in
Parian marble or enduring bronze, in
stead of perishable plaster. A Frame
work of wood or iron with flexible lead
pipe for the arms and neck of the fig
ure is first made, corresponding to the
model which it is intended to copy. A
huge pointer, somewhat like the penta-
graph used by art students, is used in
obtaining the correct enlargement, one
point resting on the model and the other
dotting the enlarged counterpart. Every
inch of the statue in process of making
is thus accurately measured.
1.-THE man who executes this first
process in the formation of staff slaps
huge handfuls of wet stuff on the
wooden framework, shaping it crudely
with thumb and fingers, and necessarily
using the huge pentagraph for meas
urements
From the man at the pentagraph, the
shapeless image passes to the modeler.
II a large piece is under construction,
it is placed on platform with rollers,
that the modeler may turn the figure
easily as he shapes the piece with staff,
using his hands to put on necessary adj
ditions, smoothing rough places with his
fingers and with spatula, and cutting
wire, doing all, in fact, but the last
refining and smoothing process. Dur
ing respites of labor, while the figure
is at this stage, it is covered with
damp cloth to keep it from cracking.
''The last process is the work of the
sculptor, who is an expert. He finishes
the staff replica exactly like the smaller
model from which 1t is the enlarged coun-
terpart, coating the stan with shellac
and adding refining touches until he is
satisfied with it,

SOME ANCIENT PLANTS.
Interesting Results Of Scientific In.
quiry Into the Antiquity
of Agriculture.

Few persons realize what wealth OF
interest is to be found in the study OF
the history Of cultivated plants Agri-
culture must have been one of the first
steps in civilization, says Current Lit
erature, when man began to give up the
nomadic habit and claim a permanent
residence as ''home." Horticulture
would follow at no very distant date, still
as an adjunct of home, so it is no won
der that the two arts are invariably
associated with that most expressive
monosyllable SO suggestive Of peace, rest
and affection. One eminent botanist,
Alphonse de Candolle, spent years of
incredible labor and research in this
study, and one of his monuments is his
work on the Origin of Cultivated
Plants"
AS single instance of the interest to
be found in this study, just glance for
a moment at one of our cereals. The
cultivation of wheat is lost in the mys-
FERROUS past. Ancient Egyptian monu-
ments, far older than the Hebrew Scrip
lures, show that the Egyptians had
grown this plant for SO long time that
the cultivation was thoroughly estab-
lished. They ascribed the gift of wheat
to their goddess Isis. Rice was grown
in China so long ago as % centuries be-
fore the Christian era, for, in cere-
mony instituted at that period, the en-
peror had to sow rice once year with
religious rites. Barley and millet also
go back to the distant past of the early
men who built the lake dwellings of
Europe; oats followed later, and later
still came the cultivation ofrye. Maize
was grown to such an extent that vari-
cites were recognized when Aztec monu-
ments were raised. Thus the story goes
on, carrying US on to prehistoric, nay,
primitive, times, whose records are only
read in the refuse heaps Of the early
farmers of the world.

whoa, until he refined up in front Of
Squire Bradford's big, square house in
the outskirts of Beechham.

and oh! the returned hero had on his
fatigue uniform, and he was looking
trim and soldierly and handsome, you
may believe! His mother chung to his
arm, and would not let him leave her
sight, even when Rob plead for mo-
ments interview of a private nature
Out had to come his whole story, and
the young soldier laughed as he tossed
a letter into the fire and said:
All right, Rob, was just going to
send note to Miss Carr, telling her of
my arrival, and then was going over to
see her this evening, but now will wait
and surprise her tomorrow morning, at
SCHOOL,"
Come in and have some dinner" he
added, seeing the boys wistful gaze
through the open doorway into the din
1ng-room, where the remnants of the
Thanksgiving feast were being cleared
from the table.
And SO Rob had cold turkey and what
ever else was good in the Rradford's
house, and soon, refreshed ard heart
ened up by the brilliant success of his
enterprise, he started for home, Doll
making up in energy and ambition 10
get back to her pasture, for the lack of
such inspiration as oats can give-for
no one at the Bradfo-d's had seen Rob's
borrowed steed, as she had been tied to
the orchard fence, well out of sight.
Rob took his secret to bed with him
that night Dave might be able to guess,
but only old Doll could tell where he
had been that day, he reflected, and he
was glad old Doll couldn't talk
Morning dawned, crisp and cold.
There was smoky fire in the long, box
like stove in the schoolroom. The chill
dren came into the place slowly, and al
most modify. Miss Carr greeted them
with calm face, but her eyes told the
story of the homesick day and sleepless
night just passed.
At half-past nine the first class in
arithmetic was called to recite There
came q knock at the door, Miss Carrwent
to open it, book in hand. There was
glimpse Of something blue, and then.
what do you think that teacher did?
She deliberately walked out into the
hall, and shut the door behind her.
The children sat in their seats and
waited. There was great buzzing and
whispering, and Rob dropped down into
the aisle, and rolled around, laughing
In about ten minutes-the school had
become most shockingly disorderly by
this time-the door opened, and Miss
Carr came in sedately. Her eyes were
like stars, her cheeks we're like pinks,
and she was smiling.
Children" she said, you are granted
a holiday; school is dismissed.
Then there was hurrying to and fro,
and much yelling. The teacher rode in
state to her boarding place, her soldier
sweetheart leading his horse and walk
ing by her side, and teacher and children
afterward agreed that there was never
before quite such a Thanksgiving holi-
day as this belated one In the time of
war and alarms.
