AUNT BUSY TALKS ON NATURE.
Dear Nieces and Nephews:

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
In a couple of weeks at the farthest all of Aunt
Busy's young correspondents will be preparing for
the fall school term. No more long rambes and
picnics unless they be taken on Saturdays. By all
means, romp much as you that day. The
celebrating breeZes of October will redden your
checks and give you appetite for supper. Aunt
Busy thinks, however, that her dear children need
stimulating exercise to get up appetite. They
are generally ready to get on the outside of their
oatmeal porridge just as soon as morning prayers
are said.
Now, dear children, write and tell Aunt Busy
what you saw that most interested you i'll your va
cation rambles. You have observed flowers, and
insects. and toads and snakes Have you stopped
10 think what use they to mature! Have you
studied their habits "Oh, Aunt Busy" you say,
what idea! Just as if we cared whether a toad
had good or bad habits or habits at all; and as for
snakes, ugh" Dear children, as you grow older
and progress in your studies; YOU become inter
csted iii botany and natural history you viii learn
10 appreciate all things in nature and observe how
everything in vegetable and animal life fits into it.
A little boy comes around and sells sweet peas
TO Aunt Busy. She asked him day what made
the sweet pea grow, and he replied it was because
his papa planted seed III the ground. Well, that Is
one reason. But if there were water to nourish
and no sun to stimulate the pea when 1t peeped
above ground that little boy would not be around
with his basket. A little girl also makes her APP
pearance with boquets of flowers. Aunt Busy asked
her why some were red and others white. Why not
all red or all white! The little girl said if flowers
were all red nobody would want flowers. That's a
cute answer She knew human nature and human
desire better than she knew botany.
Along towards the end of September the leaves
begin TO grow yellow, and soon they fall to the
ground Tell Aunt Busy why this happens every
September. and what causes green leaves to grow
again on the trees in the spring 1t might be
GOOD pIan TO ask your teacher to explain these
things to YOU. so as to lead you by easy steps into
the study of nature. And when we understand ma
ture. oh. so near and nearer we brought to God
who created all these things for delight and
happiness. that We can almost sec the Babe OF
Bethlehem nesting in sego lily. Your loving,
AUNT BUSY.

Treland has long been noted for the beauty of
its arts and crafts, but the stained glass industry
established a little over year ago, has SURPASSED
all expectations, and proved revelation OF the
possibility of really artistic work OF the KIND beng
successfully accomplished by women students III
Ireland -,....
Miss Purser, the Inauguration of the industry,
who is a member of the Royal Hibeniah acad-
envy has made the undertaking thoroughly prac-
tical one The students are instructed by the best
teachers and the system Is similar to that prac-
ticed in medaevaI days. 1t is considered that only
those who know the exigencies of craft are capa-
Bile of designing fttingly for it. therefore the art
lists ut this Dublin school, which is known as the
Flower of Glass" are not only skilled designers
but are thoroughly trained In the technical part
of their craft as well, and excellence or maternal
and high standard of production arc also III
sisted upon.
In this type of stained glass window (Which has
MANY of the distinguishing characteristics of the
fine old stained glass of the sixteenth and seven
eonth centures) the work is essentially what such
should be. great richly colored mosafcs, showing
the hand of a craftswoman who has thought out her
subject thoroughly on the glass itself.
Among the many interesting specimens, some
of which arc now on show at the St LOUIS expo
sition. are three long lancet windows, ono OF winch
represents St Cormac MacCullenan, an Irish Dish
op who fourished in the ninth century, III armor'
wearing a purple cloak and holding banner,
through which the light plays with exquisite eff
feet.
Another beautiful window is memorial to Lord
Kingston. to be erected in Kilronan church, and
still another is large window representing
the coronation of the Virgin.-The Irish World.

King Humbert has now been dead just four
years, yet so well his remains embaned at the
time of his murder that his appearance has re-,
NAMED entirely unchanged in perfect state OF
preservation. King Victor Emmanuel was able to
assure himself of this the other day, when the
corpse of Humbert was transferred from the tenn
porary tomb in the Pantheon to the magnificent
sarcophagus in which he is henceforth to lie After
the celebration of mass, the service for the dead
was recited by the clergy, and then the coffin, which
had been brought into the center of the Pantheon,
was opened, in order that the prime minister Sig
Giotti as crown notary, might certify to the lden-
tity of the defunct monarch Victor Emmanuei
remained immovable for long time, gazing on the
remains of his father then turned the guard OF cul-
rassers salutng in the meantime with their sabres
Then the priest pronounced the benediction, the
coffin was reclosed and resealed, and placed by
twelve non-commissioned officers of the bodyguard
in its new and final resting place.

A special report of the census bureau shows
that 1,750,17S children in the United States are
compelled to work for their living They form more
than per cent of the total number of workers In
spite of the prohibitions of the law and the efforts
of philanthropists, the curse of child labor seems
to be growing in this country to the proportions
which made it scandal in England in former gen.
erations. In the middle west it is not common
enough to be alarming, but in the factories of New
England and the cotton mills of the south it is al
ready plague in the present and menace to the
future Child labor must produce abnormal and
dangerous conditions physical, mental and moral

WHEN MY MOTHER TUCKED ME IN BED

WHEN MY MOTHER TUCKED ME IN BED.
All, the quaint and curious carving
On the posts of that old bed.
There were long bealled, queer old grifins,
Wearing crowns upon their heads
And they hercely looked down upon me
With cold, sardonic grin;
was not afraid of grifins
When my mother tucked me in.
/ remember how it stood there.
With its head-pieee backward rolled,
And its broad and heavy tester
Lined with plaitings, blue and gold
And the great old-fashoned pillows
Trimmed with rufles, white anu thin,
And the cover soft and downy
When my mother tucked me in
What cared 1 for dismal shadows
Shifting up and down the floor,
Or the bleak and gTuesome wind gusts
Beating gainst the close-shut door,
Or the rafting of the windows
All the outside noise and din:
was safe and warm and happy
When my mother tucked me in.
Sweet and soft her gentle fingers
AS they touched my sunburnt face,
Sweet to me the waited odor
That enwrapped her dainty lace;
Then pat or two at parting,
And a goodnight kiss between;
And my troubles were forgotten
When my mother tucked me in.
Now the stricken years have borne me
Far away from love and home;
And no mother leans above me
In the nights that go and come;
But it gives me peace and comfort,
When my heart is sore within,
Just TO lie right still and, dreaming
Think my mother, tucked me in.
Oh. the gentle, gentle breathing
To her dear hearts softer beat,
And the quiet, quiet moving
Of her soft-shod little feet;
And, Time, one boon l ask thee,
Whatsoever may be my sin,
When in dying let me see her
As she used to tuck me in.

EVIL SPIRIT OF A
Odd Form Taken by Smoke and De-
bris of Russian Mine.

Thus far during the Russo-Japanese
hostilities the mine, like the torpedo,
has more than borne out its reputation
as a death dealing instrument of war.
On the sea the Russian battleshlp Pc
tropayloysk and the Japanese battle
ship Hatsuse were sent to the bottom
by submarine mines, and ON land
mines have caused great loss to the
Japanese besieging Port Arthur. At
the battle of Nanshan ELL, in which
Lieutenant General Prince Fushimi SO
signally distinguished himself. the
Russians planned to explode mines in
the path of the charging Japanese
troops, but the Japs discovered and
cut the wires leading to them and thus
rendered them harmless.
If one-half the reports from Port Ar
thu are to be credited, however, the
Russians have been more successful

TOILET TIPS.

After the shampoo if the hair is stiff
and dry rub olive oil into the roots.
Cucumbers, peeled, cut in slices and
bound upon the face, will prove an ex-
cellent whitener.
For a red, oily nose anoint several
times a day with a little diluted alco-
hol or witch hazel.
Ii the finger nails are filed daily little
cutting is needed. This is an excellent
plan to follow when the nails are brit

For a d%iscolored neck apply cucum-
bers cut in strips, binding on during
the night. In the morning wash off
and rub we'll with cold cream
An economical and satisfactory
cream for the hands is composed OF
equal portions of honey, mutton tai
low (claritied) and lemon juice, melted
together until of the consistency OF

Plaster Ornaments.

Nothing takes the dust more freely
than plaster objects, more or less arts
tic, which are the modest ornaments
of our dwellings. They rapidly con-
tract a yellow gray color of unpleas-
ant appearance. Here is a practical
method for restoring the whiteness:
Take finely powdered starch, quite
white, and make a thick paste with
hot water. Apply when still hot with
a flexible spatula or a brush on the
plaster object. The layer should be
quite thick. Let it dry slowly. On
drying the starch will split and scale
off. All the soiled parts of the plaster
will adhere and be drawn off with the
scales.

second, that fresh air must be admit

have been destroyed by General Stoes-
sells mines as they advanced to attack
the outlying forts, and the pioneers
and sappers of the Japanese army
have retorted by tunneling under Rus
sian forts and blowing them up. Dur
ing these operations the Russians have
made desperate sorties to hinder the
work, and many hand to hand Skin
mishes have taken place. The accom-
panying picture was made from a pho
