A Long Leaaed Deer.

A huge, finely mounted antlered
head hung just above the sideboard
IN the dining room. This trophy of
some huntsman's skill was fastened
SO firmly to the wall that the glis-
tening neck seemed to be coming
right out through the plaster. Rob
ert, who was seeing this decoration
for the first time, eyed it with live
ly curiosity and very evident un-
easiness. 1t looked almost too life
like for comfort.
Finally the boy, asking to be ex-
cused, slipped from his chair, tip
toed into the next room and then.
flushing with embarrassment, re-
turned to his place at the table.

POKE BERRIES.
The Plight of the Partridge That Had
Been Eatinq Them.

One night a little after dusk as
we were about to go into the house
our younger brother saw something
dark moving behind the dog kennel.
The older boy reached in as far as
he could, and with the help of his
father, Who stood at the other end
of the kennel, he drew out a futter-
ing female partridge that acted so
! queerly we could not make out
what was the matter, for she did
not seem to be hurt. There were
no blood stains on her feathers, no
marks anywhere, but she could nei-
ther walk nor fly, and, what was the
strangest of all, she did not appear
frightened, and every one, l think,
knows that nothing living is shier
than a partridge. We marveled at
the sight as she sat quietly in the
older boys hand, breathing very
fast, but showing absolutely no fear.
Suddenly our younger boy ex-
claimed: ooh, l know what ails her |!
She's drunk! She's been eating
poke berries" Sure enough. We
had all read about partridges get
ting drunk on poke berries, but had
forgotten it.
We took her into the house, and
she sat on the table while we ate
our supper. How indescribably fun
ny she looked sitting there by my
plate, allowing me to stroke her
smooth, brown notified back, per-
mitting-the wild woods thing-fa-
millarities from each one of us!
Poor, helpless, drunken little dame!
Her bill would partly open and shut,
and if we put her up on her feet she
would sway and .totter, with half
closed eyes and dropping tail and
wings. How we laughed, and how
we regretted that we had no camera
and so were unable to take her pic
ture! What a chance for Mr.. Job!
Not another such chance would any
one be likely to have in lifetime!
AS | held her up against my face
and felt the soft, faint little puffs
Of breath from her bill against my
cheek, she seemed the very spirit Of
quintessence of all that is woodsy-
shy, remote and inaccessible-and
yet there she was, right in my hands
-dozily, dizzily, dauntlessly drunk!

A Gladstone Storv

OF Mr.. Gladstone it was said by
his detractors that he had some
thing of the schoolmaster in his
composition, and this trait was apt
ly illustrated when during the sum-
mer holidays on one occasion he
met the late Duchess of Abercorn
IN country house, accompanied by
hsf echoolboy son, Lord George
Hamilton. Not many mornings had
elapsed before Mr.. Gladstone said
to the boys mother: Duchess,
don't you think it a pity that YOUR
son should spend his holidays in en-
tire idleness? / should be happy
to give him an hours Homer every
morning" The offer was accepted
and the foundation Of Lord Georges
lifelong hostility to the Liberal
leader was sooorely laid.

Manner of Leaf Fall.

The manner in which the leaf
fall proceeds in different trees is
noteworthy. The ends of the
branches lose their leaves first in
the ash, beech and hornbeam. when
the body of the tree is still clothed
with bright foliage. The poplars
and willows have an exactly contra
ry habit, for when the trunk is
stripped of foliage the branch ends
are still decorated with a few lone
leaves which wave like ragged ban
ners beneath the November sky. 1t
Is remarkable howstenaciously these
last leaves cling to the tossing
boughs. At last they also come
hurting to the frozen ground, and
the bare trees of the forest give
forth once more, under the strong
winds urging, that stern, sonorous
music which will last throughout
the winter.-St. Nicholas.

The Ak.

The ak is Of so great antiquity
that its origin is lost, though the
Greek legends attribute it to one
of their mythical heroes. Stone
axes have been found in many coun-
tries. Iron axes have been discov-
cred in the Egyptian catacombs,
and axes of bronze have been found
IN almost every land in Europe.
Flint axes, for wood cutting, were
in use among the Mexicans and 9TH
er Central and South American
tribes at the discovery of America.
The axes of ancient times were bad
~ made, having most of the weight
in front of the handle, being thus
uncertain of aim and ineffective in
cutting power. Battleaxes are rep
resented on the monuments of Min
even and Babylon. The battleax
of Robert Bruce was so heavy and
used with such effect that, it is said.
at the battle of Bannockburn he
Glove an Englishman in twain with
one blow. The battleax of Charles
Martel, it is said, weighed thirty
pounds.

You will not give him back to
me-" she replied.
"Then by our agreement l keep
hun" said the crocodile, "for if YOU
have told the truth l am not going
to give him back, and if it is a lie I
have also Won"
But the mother said, eff | told

promise, and if it is not the truth

Value of Lean Bacon.

Lean bacon has unique value
in the dietary. 1t furnishes, ac-
cording to report of the United
States department. of agriculture, as
much digestible muscle forming
food as other meats and nearly
twice as much fat, making the to-
tai nutrients and available energy
derived from bacon much larger
than from other meats. Bacon fat
is easily digested, and when com
blned with other foods it appears
to exert favorable mechanical ac-
ton upon digestion. Over 90 per
cent of the fat of bacon is digested
and absorbed by the body, and lean
bacon, at the samesand even a high
er price a pound, is a cheaper food
than other meats. A fact made
clear is that the fat increases the
dlgestibility of other foods. For in
stance, fat meat baked with beans
makes the beans more digestible
than without the fat.

ORIGIN OF TRADES UNIONS.
Journeynhen Bakers Struck In New
York IS Early as 1741.

= = - 49, = 80 iAEt
The exact date of the origin of
trades unions in America is un-
known 1t is believed, says the re-
port of the Massachusetts bureau Of
statistics of labor, that there we're
no labor unions in the colonies, al
though strike Of journeymen
bakers is aid to have occurred in
| New YORK in l741. Whatever of
associated effort there was among
workmen at this early period was
Of a temporary nature, having a
single purpose in view, and when
this was accomplished whatever
compact existed was then dissolved.
1t was then the custom to. call a
general meeting" whenever mat
ter of trade Importance presented
itself. Such calls were generally
signed by one or two men of recog-
nized influence in the trade, and the
meetings were, as rule, held in
private homes. They were organized
by the election of officers, state
ment was made of the purpose in
calling the trade together, and after
discussion resolutions were adopt
ed embodying the views of those
present on the question presented.
When the meeting had decided what
the attitude of the trade was to be
all those present, if willing to do so,
signed an agreement to stand by
one another during the difficulty.
Many if not all of the strikes in
colonial times were undertaken
with no more of an organization
than this.
The first real understanding, so
far as compositors were concerned,
is said to have been in 1776, when
the Journeymen printers made de-
mand for an increase of wages,
which was refused by their employ
ers, with the result that a strike was
called. This proved successful, and
the association ended. Again, in
1876, an effort was made to reduce
wages to 1888 1-3 a week, and the
trade was again called together and
a statement issued declaring that
the signers would not work for less
than Sc week.
The great period of growth for
labor unions was in the latter part
of the sixties of the last century.
owing to the organization of great
corporations and to the opening up
of the whole country to the work
of freemen. Local unions were
everywhere formed, vigorous labor
journals appeared, labor parties
were organized, in some places rep
resentatives of labor were elected
to office, and many of the largest
and strongest national unions now
existing were established.
