THE TOYS I REMEMRER

There should be simplicity I'm character and rigid
limitation in the number of toys given child Com
plicated toys suppress, instead of awakening q
chd's activity The toys and games should fur
nish means of expression and stimulate new crea-
tive activity.
The toy remember with greatest pleasure from
my own childhood was quantity of blocks sawed
from n piece Of smooth scantling. These were
made for me by my uncle and were in size about
two and one-half inches each way uncolored and
with no distractng pictures upon them and could
not be broken. They were simple units, lending
themselves to endless variety Of constructions
and outasting both in interest and in educational
value the objects of admiration Of many Christ
mas morning. Next to the blocks I recall with
most interest a box Of empty spools possessed bv q
fortunate child, whose mother was q seanstress.-

SUN SPOTS.

She stood before the looking glass,
A winsome dainty little lass.
And gazed, with puckered brow, upon
The sweetest face the sun shone on.
on dear!" she murmured with sigh,
Il can never imagine why
These nasty freckles always come
They're really very troublesome!"
The sun peeped through the window-pane,
And beamed upon her once again.
An! Ah!' he, chuckling, made reply,
Il think know the reason why.
THE frecl1les on your pretty face

And ev'ry one is only this:

In his fascinating book, New Games and Amuse-
ments, Meredith Nugent gives scientific recipe for
a soap-bubble solution, which will produce remark
able bubbles. In the astonishing tricks which he
describes and pictures, the bubbles blown not
with pipes but with tunnels or cornucopfas. Here
is his recipe:
Fill quart bottle half full of distilled or soft
water and sift into it, four-fifths of ounce of
pure CASTLE soap powder. Allow the powder to
dissolve thoroughly, then add one-third of pint
of pure glycerin mix thoroughly and let stand until
all bubbles have disappeared. Use the solution in
a temperature of sixty-fve seventy degrees At
ter the solution has been used few times if it
fails to produce satisfactory bubbles, it may be
freshened up by adding little more gIycerin with
this solution gorgeous bubbles be made which
will last from five to thirteen minutes. By heat
ing the water in the first place. the solution can be
made in a very short time.

Week Days.

THE PIPE AND THE SOAP BUBBLE
'I am little" the soap-bubbe said, Gust now;
Oh yes SMALL know"
(This is what it said to the penny pipe);
But watch and grow.
"Now, look! and reflected in me you'll see
The windows, the chairs and door.
I'm a whole little world; did you ever know
Such wonderful thing before?
"And only look at my coors bright,
Crimson and green and blue.
You could hardly hope such lovely thing
Would ever stay here with you.
"And I feel so light" the bubble cried;
"I going now; good-by!
1 shall float and float away from here,
Out under the shining sky;
ct shall float" but, puff! the bubble broke
The pipe the nursery floor
Never looked nor spoke, but went on with its worl
And blew a great many more.

THE LOVE PRAISE.

THE LOVE PRAISE
Sometimes when the shadows are darkest,
And hope almost dies in the strife.
When feel that all effort is futile
And useless and empty my life
When the road blooms with garands for others,
And rugged my path grows to be-
lis only the love in my mothers eyes
Can bring sunshine and hope back to me.
III the times when -Dfscouragements shadow
Fails over my work and my heart
And the world laughs at my penny endeavor
Which in its great life has no part
1t is then that the praise Of my mother
Heals all the smart and the pain.
And failures and losses forgotten
can take heart and go on again
NO friends praise cheer me or please me
AS her kiss and the touch Of her hands;
NO enemy's blame greatly wounds me
When I know that she understands
SO willingly face all the future
with courage to do and to dare:
AS long as her love-praise is given me,
And her sympathy help and care.

THE VANISHING KING.
Folks.

Some years ago one of our frigates dropned an
chor IN the harbor of Naples, and on a given dav
the shore dignftaries, in splendid uniforms and
decorations, came on board. During the ceremonies
one Oh then' not familiar with ships, leaned back
against canvas ventilating shaft and instantly
vanished to the lower deck An old salt who saw
the performance went to the officer of the deck
ana touching his hat, said IF you please sir one
OF them kings has just tumbled down the hatch

EXPEDITION SUCCESSFUL
Dissolution Of Lewis and Clark Corpor-
alton Shows Good Record.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug 2.-The Lewis
and Clark Centennial Exposition corpo-
ration has dissolved. This afternoon the
capital stock was distributed and divi-
dend Of 23l2 per cent on the par value
of the stock, 5402, 1872, was declared, to
be distributed among PASS stockholders.
The total receipts by the exposition
were s1,52l, 1884. The cost to organ
ize and construct the exposition was
s90S, 3l9.72. To operate the exposition
cost s500090,57, or s3650 a day for
period of 1877 days.
1t is notable that s6.977 per cent of
the stock subject to call was paid, and
the delinquency but 3.023 of the total.
This is the best record ever made by an
exposition city, as the following figures
prove: Portland, 3.02; ST. Louis, 8;
Chicago, $50; Omaha, 12.4; Nashville,
19.l. In this connection it should be
explained that nearly 961a per cent of
Portland s money was paid in before
the Lewis and Clark exposition was
formally opened.

HARTJE CASE COMES
TO AN END ABRUPTLY
Only Arguments of Counsel to
Be Heard; Both Sides
Are Confident.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 2.-After twenty
one and one-hals days of actual court
session the Hartje divorce case termi-
mated rather suddenly today. Skillfully
the attorneys for both sides fenced for
advantage over the argument, but with
the consent of the attorneys and at the
suggestion of Judge Robert s, Frazer
they were set for next Monday morn
ing.
Judge Frazer announced before the
close that the case must be submitted
to him by Wednesday evening, as he in
tended to leave for his vacation next
Thursday.
Immediately after the case was con-
cluded Mrs. Hartje was surrounded by
q group Of friends, who shook her hands
and congratulated her on the manner in
which she held up under the severe
strain. Augustus Hartje sat in his chair
watching his wife closely. He, too,
showed relief, but said nothing. The
attorneys for both Mr. and Mrs. Hartje
expressed themselves entirely satisfied
with the case as it now stands, and
each side is confident that the decision
of the court will be in its favor.
