ScaldS it thoroughly after using, and gives

that if her churn is sour it will faint the

churn. In the stomach and digestive

then that if this stomach-churn is foul it

The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul

until she thought of a place where
she could hide it,
When no one was looking she picked
out a tiny spruce tree in the field
whore she often played, and under this
tree she planted her shiny quarter
Then she ran away to play, happy in
the thought that her precious money
was safe.
Next morning she went to look at it.
She dug and dug all around the tree,
but did not find it. She looked under
all the other little spruce trees, for
strange to say, they all looked so
much alike that she could not exactly
remember which one was the tree
where she buried her treasure. She
never found the money, but she learn
ed two things-frst, money is a great
care in itself, and of no use unless it's
in use; second, buried money is as
good as no money.
The next money Elsie had was a
whole dollar BILL. She could hardly
believe that the little rectangle of
green paper was four times as good
as the shiny money she had lost.
They had to explain to her that four
shiny silver quarters had been locked
up for her in Uncle Sans big treasure
house, and the green bill was just to
say that she could buy a dollars
worth of something and he would pay
the silver or gold for it. The bill she
hid on a shelf behind the clock, and
on fainy days she would climb up and
look at it and plan what she would buy
with it at Christmas time.
When Christmas really came she
went with auntie to the town to spend
the dollar. She bought jacknife for
brother Hal, handkerchief for papa
and a pretty cup and saucer for mann
ma
They were all so pleased and sur
prised with their presents that Elsie
made up her mind that all money was
good for was to spend in making other
people happy.-New Haven Register.

eoose Pat Of london Market.

The tame goose Patsy, who for the
last three years has been the pet OF
the Harrington street fish market, has
died, and new goose has been chosen
to take her place
The Old Patsy was happy go lucky
Irish goose. She had her little kennel
inside shop and during the daytime
wandered freely about the fish market.
She was friendly with everybody, from
the women selling lemons at three a
penny at the door to the big burly
poulterer, her own particular master.
But the new Patsy is a totally differ
ent bird, an English goose weighing
nearly II pounds, and altogether a
much finer bird than the old one. She
is typically English in character. She
is slow to make friends and easily
takes offence.
"She is certainly very fine goose"
said one of the statesmen, but she
isn't like the old Patsy. We miss the
twinkle in her eye-the Irish humor,
as it were London Express

Washington and the Corporal.

1t is told Of George Washington,
that upon one occasion, he rode by. a
group of soldiers, who evidently did
not know him.
The men were engaged upon diff
cult piece Of work; that Of trying to
raise a heavy beam to the top Of some
military Notifications.
The corporal was shouting at the
top Of his voice, but otherwise doing
nothing.
why aren't you helping them?7
Washington asked quietly Every
man counts"
Sir, was the pompous answer,
you do not seem to recognize that
am the corporal"
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Corporal"
washington replied, but find it diff
cult to recognize that fact" Then, dis
mounting, he fell to helping the men
and the beam was soon raised.
IF you should need such assistance
again" he said to the corporal before
leaving, "just call upon Washington,
your commander-in-chief, and l shall
be ready"

About Money.

Elsies first experience with money
occurred when she was so short THAI
she had to climb up on a stool in or
der to see the clerk behind the candy
counter Then she used to take a
penny out of her little white mitten,
reach it out to the clerk and say:
"A little tandy mouse, pease."
50 the first thing Elsie learned about
money was that she could exchange it
for something She wanted.
One day Elsies uncle came to
visit. and he gave her more money
than she had ever had at one time
in her life-a bright new silver quar-
ter.
It was so pretty that Elsie thought
she would keep it always. She car
ried it everywhere she went, and
thought about it most of the time
Then she began to be afraid she would
lose it, and it worried her very muca

Tame Geese Brought Back Wild ones

Tame Geese Brought Back Wild Ones.
The Shakers in Alfred kept a large
flock of geese in the pond at the foot
of the hill, and on the shore they built
house with an opening in the water,
so that the geese could swim inside,
with a door arranged to drop down
so that they could not get out. Every
night the geese would come into the
house, and in the morning they would
be liberated, and allowed to swim
around the pond in search for food.
One day in the fall a large flock Of
wild geese alighted in the pond and
mingled with the flock of tame geese
Toward night both focks arose and
flew away, and that was the last
the shakers saw of their flock Of geese
that fall Now for the strange part of
the story. The next spring a flock
of geese alighted in this pond and at
once started for the house on the
shore and all swan inside, when some
one of the Shakers saw them. ran

and behold! he had not only every one
of their geese that flew away the fall
before, but a large flock of wild ones be-

Next time you visit some Zoo and
go to the monkey house look at the
cages all around the walls and in them
you will very likely see curious little

them carefully you will see that their

use these as combs, and with them
keep their coats spick and span. They

Notice the flies, too, how carefully

You know what an ant is like, OF
