Nonsense Verses,

A bright boy, four years old, has
an uncle who teaches him nonsense
verses" not unlike those with which
the late Edward Lear used to amuse
English children. The nephew went
to Sunday-school, and not long ago
his teacher was telling the class about
the busy bees, and asked if any of
the children could tell her anything
concerning them.
Waldo can," spoke up the little
fellow.
"Wcll, Waldo, you may stand in
front and tell us what you know" :"
And Waldo, rising proudly, steamed
away with these lines:
How doth the little busy bee
Delight to bark and bite,
To gather honey all the day
And eat it up at night.
Trying to suppress a smile the
teacher asked: did your mother
. teach you that?"

Bad Lands Good Now.

Of later years, the bad lands have
settled into a placid serenity dis
turbed b few visitors save those in
quest of fossil bones. These bone
hunters" are parties of paleontolo-
gists and students sent by colleges
to collect for their museums, and
every season see one or more
outfits in the region They go well
provided with food, water and tools
and camp for many weeks while they
delve into the rocks for bones.
The collections have gone to many
museums here and abroad and rep
resent a great variety of remarkable
extinct animals of Tertiary times.
The scientific side of the Big Bad
Lands is fairly familiar to paleonto-
logic and geologic investigators, but

Loud Clothes.

The charlotte-russe spat, hanging
over the instep like an inverted cuff,
has not been received with favor by
our young men of fashion, largely
because it interferes with the ever
popular crease in the trousers.
When modified so as to be worn
with link cuff buttons this objection
is likely to be overcome, when we
shall look for a great vogue in this
novelty in mems dress.
An effective style of evening dress
for light opera for men is gray

TOAST MERINGUE.

This is a sort of idealized toast
which proves tempting to the capri
cious appetite of an invalid. A slice
Of thin, evenly Drowned toast is
dropped for an instant into fresh boil
ing water that has pinch Of salt in
it. Over the range meantime have
tiny saucepan or cocotte with three
tablespoonfuls milk and a little piece
of butter about the size of hazelnut.
AS soon as hot add the stiffly beaten
white of one egg and let cook just
long enough to heat thoroughly. Pour
the cream and egg over the toast, COW
er with a hot plate and get it to the
invalid as quickly as possible. Like
most other foods prepared for the sick
the success of this dainty depends on
its careful making, attention to details
and hot and quick service. - New

AMERICAN GIRL STARTS FAD.

Ida Freeman, an American girl, has
led many English society women into
the fad of working flowers in satin
ribbon. The girls skill came to at
.tention when she sent box of flow
ers to bazaar in aid of a fresh air
fund for London children. When the
box was opened it was thought the
flowers were real, but examination
proved them to be of softest satin.
Experts who examined the flowers
said the work was more realistic and
finished than that of the best French
artificial flowers, and one manufac-
turer proposed to Miss Freeman she
instruct class for the manufacture
of satin flowers for commercial use.
She refused the offer, but volunteered
to teach a small class of society wo-
men.-New York Press.

Disease Seemed Incurabie-

"When my little boy was two and a half
months old he broke out on both cheeks
with eczema. 1t was the itchy, watery
kind and we had to keep his little hands
wrapped up all the time, and if he wosid
happen to get them uncovered he would
claw his face till the blood streaned down
on his clothing. We called in a physician
at once, but he gave an ointment which
was so severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed doctors
and medicines until we had spent fifty dol
lars or more and baby was getting worse.
I was so worn out watching and caring for
him night and day that I almost felt sure
the disease was incurable. But finally
reading of the good results Of the Cuticura
Remedies, I determined to try them. can
truthfully say I was more than surprised,
for 1 bought only dollar and half's
worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura

more good than all my doctors medicines

FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Mrs. Sarah e. Greene is the first
woman in Montclair, N. j., to be pro-
posed by the male voters of the town
for membership on the Board of Edu-
cation. At a recent meeting of the
Upper Montclair Republican Club her
name was proposed and many of the
members took up the cudgels in her
behalf with such vehemence that it
is reported to have been one of the
most tumultuous meetings on record.
When a motion was made to in
dorse Mrs. Greene it was finally voted
down and it was decided to appoint
a committee to confer with the Demo-
cratic Club on the advisability OF
nominating a woman for the office.
If the Democrats agree it is expected
that Mrs. Greene will be the nominee
of both parties and will be elected
