Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window of a farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring, however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests. d,
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed UP to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part OF the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead On her
eggs.
1he house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession Of
their house.-Country Life.

The Peaceful Cow.

She vas even more afraid Of cows
than most girls, so when she spied a
placid animal recumbent under a
tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she
at first refused to so through the pas
ture at all. Her husband Gained her
fears to some extent, and they started
by, when the COW slowly commenced
to get up, hind legs first, as they al
ways do. At this the little lady
shrieked with terror, and said:
ooh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting
ready to spring at us!"-Harper's

in use it is firm enough to stand up

to its general convenience.
To make the bag, fold nine inches
of the ribbon over at each end towards
the center. Take a needle threaded
with silk to match the edge color n
sew the sides of the ribbons together
for a distance of six inches and a half,
starting from the fold at each end.
There will, of course, be four seams
in all. These make the two divisions
of our double bag. The few inches of
ribbon that are left free must be fold

nearly two inches and three-quarters

casing in each to hold the draw

suitable color. These strings are run
through the casing in the ordinary

considered as if there were nothing
at all uncommon about it. The rib

Worse and Worse.

"The late Admiral Walker" said a
naval officer in Washington, believed
heartily in marriage for sailors. He al
ways urged sailors to wed. Nautical
bachelors were held up to scorn by
him.
"Strolling with him in New York
one day we met a young ship-broker.
Admiral Walker hailed the young man
de%lightedly. He clapped him on the
back, wrung his hand and cried:
Congratulations on your marriage,
my young friend. No more sewing on
of buttons now, eh?'
"'No, indeed said the ship-broker
sharply. I wear a belt now. 1t keeps
me so busy raising money to pay my
wife's bills that l have no time to
sew on buttons"

A Worthy Recognition.

Mrs. Gertrude Laughlin has perform ed the duties of secretary of the North ern Light Rebekah Lodge faithfully and conscientioasly for many years, and in doing so has gained the good will of the members of that order.
 It was to show this good will and their appreciation of her services that the affair of last Monday night was ar ranged. The members of the Lodge gathered at Odd Fellows Hall on the evening stated, it being Mrs. Laughlin's birthday. A committee was sent after the lady and when she arrived she was made the guest of honor at a nicely prepared supper, after which District Deputy Grand Sire McBlaine in few we'll chosen words expressed the sentl- ments of the lodge and presented in their behalf three beautiful chairs, one rocker and two others.

Packed a Bale of Hay.

In the Bon Ton barber shop the other day they were telling marvellous tales about packing great loads over the Chilkoot trail during the memorable stampede of 1997-8. One man told how a husky stampeder strolled into a saloon at Sheep Camp with a cook stove on his back, about s o'clock one evening; how he "sat into" faro game, the stove still on his back, and there he bucked the tiger until the next morning, when the dealer said:
 q wonder that you don't take that stove off your back"
 By gum forgot it," said the packer as he leisurely arose, cashed in his chips and started up the trail once more.
 Another told how he bad seen man pack an anvil weighing 110 pounds from Finnegan's point to Sheep Camp, and then join in dance, the anvil still between his shoulders.
 And then came Tony Mack. "That's nothing" he said. "I saw small wo- man pack bale of hay up to the top most point of Chilkoot Pass while her husband led the horse around noun tain"
