Strictly Germ-PrOOf.


The antiseptic Baby and the Prophylactic
Pup
Were playing in the garden when the
Bunny gamboled up;
They looked upon the Creature with q
loathing undisguised-
It wasn't Disinfected and it wasn't Ster.
ilized.
They said it was Microbe and Hotbed
of Disease,
They steamed it in vapor of thousa nd
odd degrees;
They froze it in freezer that was cold
as Banished Hope,
And washed it in permanganare with car
bolated soap.
In sulfureted hydrogen they STEPPED its
wiggly ears:
They trimmed its frisky whiskers with a
pair of hard-boiled shears:
They donned their rubber mittens and
they took it by the hand
And 'lected it member of the Fumigated
Band.
There's not Micrococcus in the garden
where they play;
They swim in pure iodoform a dozen
times a day:
And each imbibes his rations from a Nv.

The Trade Winds.

Allusion is often made in books and
In newspapers to the trade winds, but
comparatively few persons know exact
ly what those winds are. They are
produced by the thrush of cold air from
the poles to take the place Of the col
umn of heated air that ascends from
the equator. The daily rotation Of the
earth toward the east makes the air
from the north northeast wind and
the air from the south southeast
wind, and these winds nearly always
blow in the same direction on the At
lantic and the Pacific Ocean, where
there is nothing In their way to OBJ
struct or divert them. For this reason
they are relied upon and made use Of
by sailors. Many persons suppose that
their name, "trade-winds," comes from
their value to commerce, but 1t is more
likely that the allusion Is to their trad
ing or "treading" In one direction.

"THEE'LL FIND THE SAME"

One Usually Finds the Kind of Peo.
PIE He Seeks.
Martha Baker turned a flushed and
troubled face toward the open hall door
in response to CHEEKY call. Round her
stood the heap of her household goods
"a confusion of boxes and barrels and
crates.
80, Grandma Dean" she cried. Il
am 50 glad to see you! Come In. II
you can get in, and sit down. Things
are in a perfect mess. and am so dis
Outraged about it all! But / am al.

Grandma Dean, with her sweet,
placid face under the soft waves OF
white hair, was beloved of all the viii
lage.
"Why are you discouraged, dear?'
she asked, as Martha paused. Its AL

position is really just what Jim has
wanted for years"
Eyes. But. grandma, to leave every.
body who has known me since was

down Martha's face as she concluded.
"Of course I don't say so to Jim, but
sometimes l just hate it,
Martha" asked Mrs. Dean, "did I
ever tell you the story of the old Qua
ker? When I was married and we
moved away from my old home it was
told to me- 1t has helped me many
times since. You see," she continued,
this good old man was one day driv-

Quaker.

to say SO. We're leaving the best

DOG HAD APPENDICITIS.

Flinky, Mascot of Torpedo Boat, Ate
Too Much Muck.
A vermiform appendix containing
some portion Of the West Indies was
taken from Flinkey, mascot of the tor
pedo boat Hoskins, the other day by DR..
G. R. Hartman, says the Philadelphia
correspondent Of the New York Mail.
The operation was performed at the
dog and cat hospital in the presence Of
several bluejackets.
Flinkey Is skye terrier, and Is be-
lieved to be the first dog in the United
States navy to have appendicitis.
He always had fine appetite, and
when the Hoskins was in West Indian
ports he would frequently get shore
leave, but as soon as the Hoskins set
sail for League Island the inactivity Of
sea life began to tell on him.
"Flinkey's seasick," said one Of the
sailors.
"And it's dangerous in animals, too"
nodded another. 1--WE heard tell Of cat
tie and horses dying of it, and any cir
Gus man will tell you that the minute
an elephant gets seasick they get the
tackle ready to have him overheard"
Permission was obtained to send Film
key to the sick bay, but the surgeon said
that he was not prepared to give the
case the scientific treatment it required.
He thought Flinkey had appendicitis,
and he prescribed course Of treatment
which kept him alive until the vessel
reached port.
This advice was taken and delega-
ton was appointed to see that Flinkey
got fair play. He was laid on table
and etherized. Then an incision was
made In his right side and his appendix
removed. The superfluous innard was
found to contain chunks of dirt and a
number Of stones, all of which he must
have picked up In the West Indies.
Flinkey came out of the anesthetic In
good shape, and his physician predicts
that he will recover.

SUMMERTIME ON THE FARM.

What BOarders from the City VIII
Have to Undergo.
The days work was done and Farm.
er Fodder sat on his front porch after
supper smoking his corncob, says
Judge. His wife was pottering around
holIyhock patch near by.
"Maria," he said to her, musingly
whats the outlook for summer board
ers?'
Never better, Henry" she respond
ed, cheerfully. Every room Is takei
by nice city people who love the sim
pie life Of the farm and want theiI
victuals right out Of the ground"
But the garden amt shown up
very sprightly, noticed to-day, Maria,
he said, in doubtful tone.
"Why, Henry" laughed Mrs. Fod-
der, chow rural you talk! Now that
we have the telephone we can order
what we need right from the city mar
ket and the freight car on the trolley
line lands it at our back lot"
What about eggs? We've only got
9 dozen hers" he queried further.
That's plenty for our own use, Hen
ry. The boarders can eat storage eggs
nice and fresh, just out of the ware
house. l wrote to the man about it
and he says we can have all we want
and whenever we want them"
"How about the milk? Is old Brin-
die equal to a houseful Of people?'
"Shes most dry now," Mrs. F. ad-
mitted, 'but guess she'll give enough
for us. AS for the others, six neigh
bors of us have combined, and Well
take certain number Of cans from the
early milk train.'
"That one that comes up before any
of the boarders get up?" inquired Mr..
Fodder family.
Mrs. F. blushed little and nodded.
Hadn't l better clean out the WELL?
he ventured.
"Not unless you want to, Henry. Mr..
Jenkins told me the Rural Water Sup
Div Company would have hydrant in
our back yard inside of two weeks"

we give 'em, Maria," said the farmer
tentatively and in some trepidation.
Fudge, Henry" laughed his wife.
ssThey won't know the difference. Real
milk would make them sick to the
stomach, and fresh egg would seem
so weak to them they'd think some
thing was the matter with it. You don't
know city people like I do. Henry.
Farmer Fodder gave two or three
hard puffs on his corncob.
"Maria," he said softly, you ought
to 90 to Chicago and start meat-of-ali-
kinds-for-f family use factory"
"If 1 did, Henry" she replied, snip

lively as form of emphasis, I'D make
more money at it than you do at farm

INCONSIDERATE HENS.

Lazy men are scarce in New England,
and lazy women are scarcer; never
theless, they exist. Libby" Dutton of
Dulverton was so lazy that even in
early youth she began to put on flesh
amazingly, and, naturally, the fatter
she grew the lazier she became. AT
last she ceased going to church, be-
cause she had not energy to struggle
into a sufficiently formal costume; In
deed, she was never seen In anything
less "free and easy" than a flowing
calico wrapper Of the Mother Hub
bard type. Her friends demonstrated.
Its because of the buttons" ex-
planned Libby, the easy tears starting
to her eyes, for she wept at trifles as
frankly as a big baby. tits all be-
cause of the buttons They kept a.

dure! The Lord didn't build me for
STOPPING and crawling; and besides,
got tired Of sewing 'em ON and sewing
'em on, and them everlastingly pop
ping off again, as If they was shot out
of pea-shooters, every time l stirred q
finger. And I should think folks might
make allowances for person af-
ficted with flesh as be, and not ex-
pect her to be buttoned up tight and
bouncing round spry."
But the climax of Libby's laziness
was reached when neighbor, one fine
day in early spring, found her seated
on an overturned wheelbarrow near the
barn door, weeping large and copious
tears into a basket Of fresh eggs that
she held on her knee. To an inquiry
as to what was wrong, she replied
plaintively, dabbing her eyes:
ut amt anything but the eggs. I'm
50 tired of gathering 'em; and every
day there's more. Those hens, they
keep right on laying, faster and faster,
till I'm downright discouraged. Seems
as If the fool creturs didn't understand
the meaning of moderationw

they are nestlings. She never leaves
them alone long at time and cares

When 1t was hottest she sat forward

Custards.

Steamed custards are delicious, but
must be steamed slowly and carefully.
Adding cold water will undoubtedly
cause a steamed pudding to fall. A
very hot oven will scorce any pudding
in which whipped white of egg Is
spread on the top, while the inner part
will be quite uncooked. When boiling
a pudding such as rolypoly, or suet
dumping, it often sticks at the bottom
of the saucepan when dropped in. A
plate in the pan will prevent this.
