Cricket's Sunbeam.

CriCket's mamma was i'll. AT this
thought the child often grew grave
in the midst of her play and asked
when mamma would be better
Before Mrs. Flitner was we'll
enough to go about freely again there
came a week of sharp east winds and
rain. She felt that every day indoors
was a loss to her, and it was at least
a loss of cheerfulness. She complain
ed, perhaps too bitterly, of not having
been able to drive out for so long
time, never guessing how her little
child suffered in sympathy, says the
New York News.
IF it rains tomorrow, she cried. at
last 20 friend, 4 certainly shall
divide myself and go to buffets."
She was lying upon the lounge at
twilight when she said this, while
Cricket sat on a fOotstool, nesting at
her side with hand in hers.
How could the little fve-year-old
know that this was only a quotation
from Shakespeare? She heard the i'm
patient tones, but she could only I'M
derstand that the words meant some
thing bad for her sick mamma.
At bedtime the nurse found her
leaning out Of an open window, with
the rain beating against her little
face. When spoken to she held UP
her hand as a signal for silence. and
then after moment allowed the win
dow to be closed. But the nurse could
not learn why she was so quiet.
The next morning she burst into
Mrs. Finer'S room.
Mamma, mamma. you needn't go
to bufins; you can so to ride. See
what a nice day I've brought you"
4 need not go where, Cricket? And
you have brought me a nice day? Is it
you, my little one?"
Yes, mamma; it is me. Because
last night asked God to send me a
sunbeam today; and the wind took
my voice way up there. And there's
sunbeams all over the sky; but that's
for me and you, mamma, and she
pointed to flood of light pouring in
between the window hangings.
Dear little Cricket. your love and
faith sent the sunbeams to your
mothers heart, if not to her eyes.
And it is true that God at some time
sends Sunbeams to us ALL If we
were only childlike enough to know
they were meant for us.

New Toys.

The other day l saw sprinkling
cart laying the dust in the street. and
walking beside it was a boy, about
four years old. Several children
watched him as earnestly as they
watched the sprinkling-cart driver, for
he had a fascinating new toy 1t was
a tiny sprinkling cart, built just like
the large ones used on the street. 1t
was painted a cheerful red, and held
a gallon or water. When its delighted
owner opened the pipe, it gave forth
a most refreshing little sprinkle The
boy patiently filled and reflled it
at the same place where the big
sprinkling cart got its supply, and he
worked until there was no dust left
for the automobiles in that neighbor-

DIGGING Bait.

The hoy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
SPOT, a shady and lowlying knoll. but
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes not single worm
had his spade turned up, according
to the Providence Journal
Here, sonny" said an old angler,
take this chunk Of soap, and make
me a quart or two of soapsuds. "
The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkled them over the ground,
and then he in his turn began TO dig.
Il was amazing. Here where the boy
before had not found a single worm
the old man now discovered them in
dozens.
You can find worms, most any
where. sonny. said the old man, If
YOU wet the ground with soapsuds
first. The soapsuds draws them, the
same as molasses draws flies A weak
mixture of blue vitriol and water will
do the same thing also"

Was ever wren so particular? was the
natural thought. Imagine young wrens
being swayed to sleep in hanging
nest on the end of a slender elm
bough. It did seem absurd; and yet
the nest contained several eggs,
which doubtless Matched. The nest
was in much safer place than the
usual wren house or tree hollow, and
50 no doubt the young wrens grew to
peep from their swaying nest, and
later to leave it, having the strange
experience, for wrens, Of being born
and raised in an orioles nest.-St

Color Photography.

Consul w. ]. Pike writes from Kehl,
Germany, that the hitherto impracti-
cal method of color photography has
at last been overcome by French
firm, of Lyon, who have been success
full in discovering a method by which
even the amateur can prove the mode
of procedure for himself The consul
writes:
1.-THE treatment of the new color
photography distinguishes itself es-
pecially by the simple way in which
the photograph is taken. The plate is
evenly covered with layer of colored
corn starch (blue, green, and red), and
behind this filter on further isolated
layer is placed an emulsion which is
sensitive for all colors. For the &C
tual taking of photograph yellow
filter is necessary, which has the
property of equalizing the very bright
colors with those of a paler one. In
taking a photograph the light pene-
trates the glass of the plate and color
filter and then strikes the light sen
sitive emulsion"

PROLIFIC GARDEN.

Eng1ishman's First and Successful
Attempts in ManitOba-Sofl Pro-
duces Striking Results.
The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
of few days since contains account
of the success that followed the efforts
of William Knowles, an Englishman
who located near Manitoba. This is but
one of many letters giving experiences
OF settlers and should be encouraging
to those who are looking about for a
new home in which they may better
their conditions. The following Is
copy of the article referred to:
William Knowles, who cultiyates
some twelve acres Of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side. OF
the Red River, has probably as fine
display of horticultural products as
any in Manitoba. The whole of his
holding is In high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have fortu-
nately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1,5OO bushels from his
patch Of Az acres. half-dozen Of
tubers selected yesterday average more
than pound each. Adjoining the po-
tatoes may be seen a marvellous collec-
ton Of tomatoes. There are coo plants,
all growing under an enormous weight
of fruit. One single stock picked yes
terday contained eighteen tomatoes and
weighed four pounds This extraordin-
airy example of marvellous growth, to-
gether with some of the potatoes, were
sent to the Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first In town
with several specimens, including green
corn. The season has been very favor
able for onions, and one square patch
of nearly an acre is looking remark
ably healthy. In addition, there are
good crops of cabbages, caulifower,
turnips, parsnips, carrots, pumpkins,
marrows, cucumbers. celery, peas, let
tuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral depart
ment has not been neglected, and a
charming display of all the well-known
blooms were shown, including a spe-
cially choice lot Of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most of his
gardening experience in England, is
loud In his praise of Manitoba soil for
vegetable raising, and is gratified with
the result of his first attempt at exten-
sive horticulture.
