The birthplace of James Buchanan,
the only President Pennsylvania has
given the Nation, has At last been
marked by a monument
1t was 116 years a6o that James
Buchanan was born, nsar the Village
of Flotz, in Franklin County, at a
place called Stony Batter. Before
the present monument was erected
there was nothing about the cabin, in
which the fifteenth President first
saw the light of day, to indicate that
it had once sheltered the only son
of this State who became the head
of the Nation.
BY the will of Harriet Lane John
son, of Washington, D. c., niece of
President Buchanan and mistress Of
the White House during her uncle's
term, a sum of money was set aside
to erect a marker at her uncle's birth
place. This monument has been
finished.
The marker is pyramidal in shape,

this power hammer is operated by the
foot, allowing the free use of both
hands for guiding the material on the
anvil. The hammer Is attached to a
long rocking arm, which is pivoted on
an iron frame. The frame supporting
the hammer is rigidly secured to the
base of the anvil, the hammer being
guided to drop on the centre of the
anvil. Adjacent to the anvil base is
the operating treadle, always within
easy reach Of the foot. Connecting
the arm of the hammer and the
treadle are strong springs, which
serve to bring the hammer down with
force and also to draw it away from
the anvil after the blow has been
made.

Joe was a blacksmith's son, one
Of seven children, going to school in
a little town of northern Iowa. and

But where's the money coming

So Joe got together his things,
packed them in a canvas telescope.
and spent about all the money he
had to get to an Iowa college.
He arrived in the evening. and tried
TO find a place to work for his board
and room, but in vain. That night,
without money to go to a hotel, he
lay down, like Jacob OF old, with his
meagre baggage for pillow, upon
the stone porch of the church, there
was no ladder let down, and no angels
ascending and descending. but Gods
voice gave him courage and rest. In
the morning he was up early. Before
night he was enrolled in the academy
with a place where he could earn
his own way.
For five years he washed dishes,
moved lawns, tended furnaces, and
studied and sang in the Glee Club. He
had his fun in the gymnasium, where

worked hard to get on the football

HOW DOLLY LEARNED COLORS

HOW DOLLY LEARNED COLORS.
Dolly was a little girl, and she had
the yellowest hair, the reddest lips,
and the bluest eyes ever seen.
One day when she was in the kin
dergarten, the teacher showed the
children some pretty yellow balls,
and the children all looked straight
at Dolly and cried, "See, these are
exactly the color OF Dolly's hair"
Dolly felt very bad, and went home
and told her mother what the chill
dren had said.
But her mother replied, "Why, /
think yellow hair is lovely. Just look
at the sun and the buttercups in
the yard: they are the color of your
hair! / am sure yellow is beauti-
full color"
Then little Dolly was happy again.
The next day the teacher showed
the kindergarten children some red
balls, and the little boys and girls
all looked at Dolly again and said,
See, these are just the color of
Dolly's lips!"
Dolly's little mouth trembled, and
she went home to tell her mother
about 1t.
But her mother said, "Why, just
look at the pretty cherries on the
trees and the peoples in the garden!
They are red, and what lovely color
they are!"
And little Dolly felt comforted.
The next time she went to school
the children were given some pretty
blue balls to play with, and they all
looked at Dolly and said, "Oh, look,
these are just the color of Dolly's
eyesl"
Then Dolly cried and shut her blue
eyes very tight.
When she told her mother about
II, her mother said, Just look at the
beautiful sky, and the ocean that you
love to sail on: they are both blue,
and how lovely they are!"
Then little Dolly opened her eyes
very wide and was happy once more
Dolly's mamma bought her some
nice new bronze shoes, and the very
day she wore them to school the
teacher showed the children some
bright orange balls. And they look
ed at Dolly's shoes and cried, "See,
the balls are almost the color of your
shoesi"
Then Dolly ran home very fast,
70 that they could not see her shoes,
and told her mother.
Mamma took Dolly up in her lap
and said: Don't you know what a
pretty color the oranges that you
eat are, and how you like to watch
she bright clouds at sunset? The
clouds are sometimes orange color,
and / think that they are beautiful"
Then Dolly laughed and got down,
and thought her shoes were just the
incest she had ever had.
One day Dolly wore a new hat to
school. 1t was a pretty hat, trim
med with violets and green leaves.
Dolly was late that morning, and,
when she got there, the children were
playing with some green balls and
violet balls, which the teacher had
just given them. When they saw
DDlly's hat they laughed and said,
"Of. look, Dollys hat looks like our
green and violet balls,"
Dolly almost cried for a minute.
and then she said, well, God makes
the violets violet-color, and the leaves
green, and am glad to have them
on my hat. for love violets."
After that the children did not
tease Dolly any mere. and Dolly
found that all the pretty colors were
everywhere in the world, and she was
7eally happy that she knew their
pames.-Janie d. Hobart, in Little
Folks.

THE CROSS SQUIRREL.

Once there was a squirrel that did
not like his home, and he used to
scold and find fault with everything.
His papa squirrel had long gray
whiskers, and 50 was wise-besides
which he could shake his whiskers
quickly. He said to the squirrel: my
dear, as you do not like your home,
there are three sensible things you
can do: Leave it, change it, or suit
yourself to it. Any one Of these
would help you in your trouble"
But the little squirrel said, ooh,
do not want to do any of these;
l had rather sit on the branch of
tree and scold."
WELL said the papa squirrel, "if
you must do that, whenever you want
to scold, just go out on a branch and
scold away at someone you do not
know"
The little squirrel blushed so much
that he became a red squirrel, and
you will notice that to this day red
squirrels do just that thing.-Bolton
Hall, in st. Nicholas.

ANIMALS BRUSH AND COMB.

ANIMALS BRUSH AND COMB.
The lions tongue is so rough that
it can be used to rasp the flesh from
the bones. The horny clawlike pa
pillae or prickles are nearly a quar-
ter o: an inch long. 1t has been said
that the cat uses her prickly tongue
in the same way, but she uses it
chiefly as a comb.
Many birds possess a useful comb
in the claw of the middle toe of the
foot. This has been noticed in owls,
nightjars, herons, bitterns, cormor-
ants, gannets, etc. It has been ex-
planned as a means of holding the
prey securely The comb is some
times replaced by curved blade with
teeth, which run along the inner side
of the claw. Such blade is found
in razorbills, wild ducks, gulls, star
lings and many other birds. Where
a comb is required the inner edge
of this blade becomes divided into
teeth. Young nightjars or goatsuck-
e-s have only the blade, but old ones
have well-developed comb.
