THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE.

THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE.
There were idle thoughts came in the
door,
And warmed theid little toes,
And did more mischief about the
house
Than any one living knows.
They scratched the tables and broke
the chairs,
And soiled the floor and wall
For motto was written above the
door,
There's a welcome here for all"
When the master saw the mischief
done
He closed 1t with hope and fear,
And he wrote above, instead, Let
Save good thoughts enter here"
And the good little thoughts came
trooping in,
When he drove the others out;
They cleaned the walls and they
swept the floor
And sang as they moved about.
-, =,
And last OF all an angel came,
With wings and a shining face,
And above the door he wrote: Here
love has found a dwelling place"

Horn in a Tree 1873 Years.

A sleeps horn that was imbedded
In tree 1873 years ago is the curiosi-
ty that Jason Elder, forest ranger
living at Paisley, Greg. has delivered
to his superior, Supervisor Ingram, at
Lakeview. While rambling in the
woods In 1888 Elder came across a
yellow pine tree, in the base of which
was imbedded the horn Of a mountain
sheep. He did not then have time
to make a thorough investigation
but since becoming forest ranger he
had occasion to go to the vicinity and
he cut the tree down. He took Sec
ton of the trunk containing the horn
to Lakeview.
The horn was a little to one side Of
the center of the tree and ran in a
circular direction. 1t was not curled
as are the horns of mountain sheep
at this day, but was almost straight.
Counting the rings of growth, the
tree was shown to be 213 years old.
Outside the horn were 1873 rings, in
dicating the number of years that had
elapsed since the mountain sheep was
caught and held fast by the yellow
pine The horn was soaked with
pitch. 1t is ten inches in diameter at
the base and protruded from the tree
about six inches. The length Of the
horn is thirty Understanding (Cal.)

orioin of the cravat.

While every man wears a cravat.
there is probably not one in a thous-
and who could in an offhand way. tell
you how 1t came about that men first
placed such an ornament about their
collar
The word cravat came into our Ian
guage about 1886. Prior to that year
a feature of the uniform of the Aus
trian cavalry was a wide band of
coarse linen worn in folds around the
neck under their short Hussar jack
cts. This cavalry organization was
called the "cravate," its members be-
ing styled the "Cravates."
Later. in the seventeenth century,
France recruited regiment of caval-
~, adopting for it the uniform OF the
Austrian regiment recruited in Croa-
tia. calling it the Royal Cravattes.
Later in England the word "cravat''
was applied to neckerchief.
After the battle of Steamkirk in
Flanders. in 1892, an English officer
brought home the 'steamkirk,' long,
flowing neckscarf edged with fine
Flemish lace, the ends of which were
drawn through a buttonhole of enor-
nous size. The neckwear of today
is clearly traceable to the steamkirk
and the notifications it underwent

The skirts, waists, cloahs, hats

course, the size of the circle must de-
pend upon the size of the bottle you
are dressing, and you will have to
measure to find out just how large to
make 1t. In making a skirt, measure
from the waist down, allow about
quarter of an inch, and let that length
be the length of half of the square
from which you cut your circle. First
cut your square. which will be twice

The Retort Courteous.

A one-armed man sat down to his
MONDAY luncheon in little restau-
rant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was big, sympathetic in
diyidual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh
boris left sleeve hanging loose, and
kept eying him in sort of how-did-it-

failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand 1t no longer. He
changed his position little. cleared
his throat. and said: Il see, sir, you

MRS. QuAIL,S YARD.


One day Betty and Richard came
flying in from the wheat-field, all out
| of breath, to tell OF wonderful dis
covery they had made. Right out in
the wheat was a lovely little nest
with twelve white eggs in 1t, and
something had hurt the poor mother
bird.
"She could hardly run through the
wheat" said Richard as soon as he
could stop painting. 81 guess her
wing was broken"
Yes, and she was making a pitiful
little noise as IL 1t hurt dreadful"
gasped Betty. Wont you come right
out and help us' find her, grandpa?
Maybe we could bind up her poor
wing"
Then how grandpa had to Taught

as far away as possible, and then

look after their eggs"
Naughty bird" said. Betty; but
Richard laughed and said. Il think
they are very smart birds"
when the men cut the wheat, they
will break her eggs, grandpa" said
Betty.
"Well." said grandpa, with twin

mo, you could not do that" said
Mr.. Gray. 81 will tell the men to
leave little strip of wheat around
Mrs. Quail's home for a front yard
She is a good little friend of mine,
and can afford to waste a little
wheat to protect her."
So, when the big machine went
click-clicking around the field and
Mrs. Quail was badly frightened as it
came near her home, the man on the
seat saw the tall stick with the white
rag Betty and Dick had put there to
mark the place. and he left nice
little yard for the little family.
The wind and the rain beat down
the ripe grain very soon, and one
day the children sneaked down to the
nest to see the eggs, but instead they
saw Mrs. Quail picking up bugs and
worms for a lot of hungry babies
instead Of sitting on the white eggs.
She picked up a lot of wheat for
herself, but saved the tender bugs
for the wide-open mouths in the nest.
Mr.. Quail was working too, to save
the grain in the yard, and none of the
crop went to waste.
81 hope she will come back next
year." said Richard, when at last the
nest was empty. Grandpa said she
could have the little home and yard
always II she would only stay on the
farm."-Hilda Richmond, in Sunday

LoNDoN's places OF REST
They are of IncalcuIabIe Value to the
city's Working Men and Women.

y Several years ago certain wise
philanthropists in London recognized
the need of some places of shelter and
rest for early morning workers from
the suburbs and outlying districts
skirting the great city. These city
workers often were compelled to wait
an hour or two, exposed 10 the ele-
ments and the city's dangers, before
the workshops and business houses in
which they were employed were
opened.
To meet these needs several places
which have been described as places
of rest" were opened. Two of these
are situated in the very centre Of
London. One Is the Church of All
Hallows, London Wall. 1t is open
daily from 6.30 to a. m. to all, ire
spective of creed. 1t is close to the
Liverpool street station.
The church is lighted and warmed
in winter, sewing is permitted for the
girls and women, books are provided
for all. ard short service is held at S
a. m. A voluntary organist is present
every morning, and hymns are sung
at intervals. The average daily at
tendance in this church every week
Gay morning is nearly three hundred
men, women and girls.
The church of st. Katharine Cole
man, in Fenchurch street, one min
ute's walk from Fenchurch street sta
ton, IL open every weekday morning
from 7.30 o'clock, especially for the
benefit of women and girls who come
to the city by workmen's trains and
have to wait until their places OF
work are open. This church, too, is
well lighted and warmed, and books
and magazines are provided. At 8
o'clock a short, bright service is held,
lasting about twenty minutes. There
is not the least doubt that these SER
vices exercise beneficial and lasting
influence upon the minds of the lis
teners. AS might be expected, they
step out from these cosy ad welcome
giving churches better able to with
stand the temptations and pitfalls
which always beset the paths OF the
young and inexperienced in a great
city.
New York, like London, is rich with
missions and charitable institutions.
But it is at night that the hundreds
of missions. churches and societies do
the most good. 1t is then that they
throw wide open their doors to admit
those whom fortune has frowned upon
and who are anxious even at the last
hour for some ray Of goodness to
brighten their lives.-New York Tri'
bune.

KNIGHTS OF KI6osH.
A Secret Society Which FIourishes
Out In Iowa.

Ouh VI tOWd.
The Knights and Ladies of Kibosh
Is the name of a fraternal society
which is gaining large number OF
the order in this city. says the Clin-
ton Qa.) Herald. Every member is
not only deputy, but a degree team
in himself or herself, and has the
authority to confer the degree of the
order On any desirable candidate.
There is no initiation fee, dues or
assessments, which may account for
the rapid growth of the organization.
1t had its birth on train of the Chi
cago and Northwestern out of this
city, where two travelling men, who
hadn't anything else to do to while
away the time, instituted the society,
conferred the degree upon each other
and then worked it off on every one
on the train, including the crew.
The degree proved immensely popu-
Ear, especially with the railroad men,
and soon majority of the Northwest
ern enginemen, firemen, Conductors,
brakemen and baggagemen were af.
filiated with the order.
The grand hailing sign of the Or
der of Knights and Ladies' of Kibosh
is made with eight right or lief hand,
held in an elevated position, the first.
second and third fingers closed and
the thumb and little finger extended
and curved like COW horns.
While the sign is being made the
member who gives it utters in low
and distinct voice the magic word XXI
bosh," and at the same time looks
grave and solemn.
If the person TO whom these atten-
tons are addressed locks foolish and
uncomprehensible the member knows
that he or she is not member of the
order and proceeds to work the initia'
tory degree.
The knights of Kibosh are more nu
merous In eastern Iowa than were the
members of the old order of Buffaloes
which rose, fiourished and passed
away a few years ago.

FIVE LITTLE GEESE.


When Mabel went to Holland she
saw the canals running right through
the middle Of the strests. Sometimes
the water in these canals came right
up to the doorsteps of the houses.
and so when one little girl wanted to
see another little girl, she had to
climb into boat and row across the
water. Mabel saw, all along the
shore, very strange sight She saw
babies tied to the door posts so that
they could not tumble into the water.
and even chickens and ducks and
geese were tied in this way. Now.
Mabel was afraid of geese, because
geese Kissed at her whenever they
came near. One bright April morn.
ing this little girl and another little
girl were eating their luncheon in a
little grove. Mother and father and
Uncle Jim were near by, but in spite
of this these two little girlies we're
frightened very much indeed. Just as
they opened their basket Of sand
witches and cakes and fruit, little
Dutch girl came Gathering by in her
wooden shoes. and following after her
were three big geese. Perhaps these
geese smelled the plum cake and
sandwiches. for they popped through
hole in the hedge Just as quick as a
wink, and made for the basket Of
good, things. Over went the basket.
and up jumped Mabel and Dorothy
and away they ran with shrieks Of
terror. while the geese ate up the
lunch as fast as possible. The little
Dutch girl went clacking on her way,
for she could not see over the hedge.
and by the time mother and father
and Uncle Jim came to the rescue the
lunch was we'll demolished, and the
geese were flying up the road after
their little mistress. Uncle Jim de-
clared that there were five little geese
In the grove that day. Now, who
were the other two geese? Can you
guess?-Child's Hour.
