A DOGS WISDOM.
Story Of How Nero obeyed His Mas
ter at the Sacrifice Of
Shirt.

Stories OF dogs are so plentiful that
one more or less doesn't seem to make
much difference, and yet the cumulative
evidence of canine reasoning power is
piling up high.
Nero was st. Bernard owned by a
man in Virginia. One day while in the
yard cleaning his gun the master told
Nero to 60 in the house and bring him
a rag. Nero bounded on. and was OBJ
served by woman to be searching 1oz
something. Interested in his notions,
she watched him. After looking every
where in the room he went to the closet,
and finding on the floor his masters
shirt, shifted at it, took it up, hesitated
q moment, then evidently satisfied that
it was not "a rag" laid it down and
went back empty-mouthed. His mas
ter reproved him sharply and said:
Go now and bring me a rag!'
Turning slowly, the puzzled dog went
into the house again, still watched by
the woman who had heard the order.
He went to the closet, picked up the
shirt in his mouth and started to go out,
then evidently reasoning that whole
garment could not properly be called
"a rag he placed his foot on the por-
ton that trailed on the floor and DELHI

A beautiful young lady, a member Of

An elderly lady tells a story in Our

former was a noble-looking horse, the
latter an unmist2kable brute. The
horse was harnessed to farm wagon,

was beating him and shouting loud

CHICKS FROM EGG SHELLS.
You Can Create Lots Of Surprise and
Amusement by Making Flock
Of These Birds.

A well known proverb says that you
cannot eat your cake and have it too. II
is equally true that you cannot eat your
eggs and hatch them too. but you can
eat them in the form Of sponge cake and
convert the empty shells into very life
like chicks or little birds.
The shells need not be blown out, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, but may be
emptied easily through fairly large holes
at both ends. Plug the hole at the small
end with lump Of putty, dough, or fresh
bread, we'll squeezed, making the project
ing part OF the lump larger than the hole
and round to represent the head of the
chick. A sharp pointed wooden peg i'm
bedded in the soft mass, with the point
outward, forms the bill. and two beads
or tacks serve for eyes. The tail is a
bunch Of feathers glued around the hole
in the large end of the shell, and con-

tened to the shell with sealing wax.
This Is all that is strictly necessary,
but you can paint or draw the wings il
you choose, or cover the whole body with
down or fine wool, fastened on with glue.
needed. There should be only one hole
in the shell, which should be entirely
covered with soft down.
So far so good, but your bird or chick
is lifeless and helpless thing and can-
not even stand up. You can make it very
much more lifelike and interesting in
the following way: Bend one end of a
short piece of fine wire into a ring, at
right angles to the rest of the wire, ard
make hook on the other end Now fas-
ten the ring with sealing wax to the un-
der side of the bird just behind the legs.
Put cork, little block of wood, or
some other small weight in the hook and
perch birdie on your forefinger, bending
the wire to make him balance perfectly.
Now you can set him rocking forward
and backward, and he will not fall OF
his perch
You can create good deal Of surprise
and amusement by making a flock Of
these little birds and perching them on
the trees, the potted palms, and the rub
Der plant, SO that the weights are hid
den by the leaves, or by setting row Of
them swinging on the edge of an upright
card, with the weights hanging behind
unseen. If your birds are chicks, they
will look all the funnier in such posi-
tons, for chickens, as you know, do not
"roost" until they have good sized tails
and wings.

HOW KATE BECAME CECILIA
Daughters Little Joke on Her Mother
Provokes Indignation in
Celtic Servant.

Cecilia is bird. The cooking is de-
licious, and the house was never in bet
ter order"
So wrote the elder daughter of South
side family to her mother who had gone
away for much-needed rest, believing
that she had left her family in the ten
Ger care of a specially talented and we'll
recommended domestic engaged to begin
her duties two days after the matron's
departure. For reasons unknown to the
family, Cecilia never materialized, says
the Chicago Daily News
What are you going to write your
mother?" asked paterfamilias, who
knew that daughter was a stickler for
truth. She'll be coming home on the
next train"
I'm going to tell her that Cecilia is a
Bird" was the answer, land never was
saying truer since the proverb about
riches having wings was invented. I'm
also going to say that all is lovely, and
it you don't indorse that l won't get up
to get your breakfast any more"
Accordingly glowing accounts of
household affairs, apparently implying
the greatest credit to Cecilia were for
warded to the good woman for two
months, at the end of which time she an
nounced that she was we'll enough to re-
turn home. Then efforts to secure a real
Cecilia we're redoubled. and the morn

'And now, where's Cecilia?" asked the

The bodice might be box-pleated and

and made with small bishop sleeves.
It could be finished with q large collar
and straight cuffs of Irish crochet lace,
so that it would be quite nice for smar,
