mothers in the country, because of her poor health. Her grandmother was practicing a Rest Cure" on her gran daughter, which she thought would do her good.
 The first day Miriam was given charge of the chickens; also of a few little "odd jobs." After this she took walk, gathering a number of flowers for the table.
 After dinner she helped with the dishes and managed to break two tumblers and one cup. Then she went upstairs to change her dress.
 Coming down, she took up a paper and happened to open it to the Wide Awake page. This gave her an idea and she began to act upon it. The next morning she sent her story to Norwich, Conn, and waited anXiously for Thursday to come.
 When that day came, the ehildrens E page was eagerly scanned by cer- tain Miriam Hunter. Sure enough! l the seventh name was hers. The next day her book arrived, and 1t was read with @ great deal of interest 1 by its owner. During the summer months she wrote other stories, thus winning little library of her own.

The Countersiun.

The farm was a lonely one and the farmers wife, q gentle, tinid creature, lived in dread of tramps. Three times a year the farmer went to town for a day and night, and that night was always a slcePless one for the poor woman.
 They kept no hired men except dur ing the having season. No one has ever -come," grumbled the farmer when his wife told him her fears.
 "I3ut they might" she protested. And sure enough, the dreaded time came.
 It was a cCld night in November. The ground was frozen hard and the wind was fearful. It was about seven o'clock and the two children were get ting ready for bed when there came a knock on the door.
 'fWho is there?" Quavered the farm CTS wife through the l1eyhoIe.
 T want a bed for the night" said a stranger in hoarse voice.
 "Go away, go aWayi" cried the Wom- an in terror.
 But you wouldn't turn' man out on night like this, would you?" an swered the other, coughing.
 The farmers wife unbolted the door and opened it a little ways.
 NO, I couldn't risk letting you in, " she said, flor I am alone with my children"
 The man hesitated a moment, then he put his hand in his pocket and drew out a small book. Handing is to the woman, he said:
 For the sake of this, couldn't you trust me?"
 The farmers wife looked at the book and found it to be an olG, thumb-worr Bible Without a word, she opened the door and let the stranger in. The next morning after he had help l ed her with the chores he thanked hel and bade her goodbye, and as they l shook hands he said:
 T might have been bad one, fol sure. and tried to blind you with m! | BibIe.'
 T know. I thought of that" sht answered calmly, "but you had tht | countersign. I had to trust to GoC that you came by it honestly" MARY A. BURRILL4. Age IA. | Stafford Springs

Dorry's Fire Alarm.

A head of fluffy curls. two big blue eyes, a turned up nose and a button hole ST a mouth, that was Dorry, who vas asked so many times day by his papa, mamma and aunties to run on errands.
 His aunt came to visit them and Dorry wasn't one bit surprised to see her approach with letter in her hand: Would you please take this letter to the mail box for me?" she asked.
 Dorry tossed aside his toys, took the letter, and ran as fast as he could but when he got there he was puzzled for there were two iron boxes instead of one. One had door so he opened 1t, put the letter in very hard, as to stay, and closed the door
 fHarl1! What was that noiseI'
 Away down the street came the sound of bells. nearer and nearer, till up dashed a fire engine. the smoke pouring from it. and the firemen in great hats ready for work.
 The firemen ran from hcUC-s to house looking for the fire.
 Y would like to put my hands on the one who sounded that fire alarm, 1"

The Doll HosnitaI.

What a noise in the entry! There was rattling and a crash and loud scream.
 "oh. dear!" Doll Peebles is killed all dead!"
 Aunt Fannie went to see what was the matter. The tin horses had run away. They had tumbIed downstairs and flung Doll .Peebles out or the wagon and her head was knocked off.
 Don't cry, darling" said Aunt Fannie. We will take Peebles to the hospital and she will be cured"
 Julia looked up with wondering eyes.
 All this was in the city of Dresden in Germany. After long walk they came to a building with 9 large sign
 The sign said: Doll Clinic" This means the sick dolls are cared for
 They went in and rang. A comicaI little doctor came to the door.
 Come in, little girl" said the doc
 My dolly is sick" replied Julia, holding out the brown paper on which Peebles had been put to bed. "Oh, yes!" We have lots of sick 1 dolls here. We can cure her" They entered a room where the doll l patients were, Some were nicely asleep ] in rows of boxes. Those who were able to sit up were in little chairs all 1 in a row.
 Some of the well dolls were snug in | chambers near the window. | The doctor looked at Peebles and 1 shook his had
 This is a bad case" he said. "We must put her to bed for a rew days 1 till I get some new sawdust for her l Gan you make her head grow 1 again ?" asked Julia anxious. "Oh, would you prefer an new head one with blue eyes that open and shut?"
 Little Julia clapped her hands ir delight.
 When you come again she will be alright" said the doctor, and you must l be careful not to let the horses TUT away with her any more l CATHERINE A. DUNN, Age 10. 1 Norwich

Shooting the Shark.

The great ship of war lay at anchor in 8 hay. The sailors were idly nov ing about. The old boatswain was among them, telling his long stories.
 Among this crew was a bright little boy, a son of the boatswain. The morning was warm, and the water just of the right temperature for bathing.
 A group of sailors leaned over the side of the ship, and there they saw Little Jim" their pet, far out from the ship swimming alone. He could whirl over dive, float, or shoot forward like a duck.
 'Boatswain.'' cried one. what a Swimmer little Jim is."
 Yes" says his father, T never had to teach him."
 '.Boatswain, -boatswain, a shark! a shark! Oh! he will get Jim in one minute more."
 The old man leaped up, and a single glance took it all in. There was his son playing in the water and huge shark coming towards him. The old man remembered that one of the can non was shotted. Quick as a flash he wrenched the gun in place and aimed a few feet between the child and the shark. The match was ap- piled, the gun roared and reeled. The poor father sank down beside the gun, too faint to look. The smoke of the gun cleared away and up rose a shout from the sailors.
 What is it?' calls the father
 "Oh Jim is safe. There lies a shark dead. How could you move the gun and get her off so quic1ly?"
 q don't know, but l believe God helped me. Won't some of you bring Jim to me?"
 The next moment boat was lowered and the oars were bending IS she cut her way to the boy. He had just be- gun to understand the thing.
 Gently they lifted him into the boat and in Q few minutes placed him in arms of his weeping father.
 The old man seemed to receive him as from the dead, and could only rock him in his arms and cry like a babe. MISS MARY BOROVICKA. West Wilmington.

 Made! my dear" answered grand ma, why cotton grows.
 Not the sort of cotton you sew with, but the soft, downy kind that is used for padding. From this cotton is spun.
 A field of cotton is a beautiful sight, either when covered with yellow and purple blossoms or with the white cot ton.
 The cotton plant grows only in 6 warm climate, as for example in our southern states. When the blossom dies is is followed by a pod containing Q number of black seeds which lie in a bed of fine soft cotton. When ripe, these pods break open and the snow white cotton bursts out in Curls.
 All hands, young and old, are kept hard at work from daylight till dark. picking the cotton. Nor does the work cease till the first frost stops the growth of the plant.
 Afterward, the cotton is spread out to dry, and is then separated from the seeds. This was formerly done by hand, but now the work is done more quickly by a machine called the cotton gin.
 The cotton is next packed in large bundles which are covered with a coarse cloth called bagging. It is then sent to the mill to be spun into many kinds of thread. More than one-half of our clothing is made of cotton.
 q thank you, grandmother" said Ellen. "how many things you remem- ber."

 When you look closely at a bee you will see that it's body is made up of three parts. It looks as if it were cut almost through in two places. That is why it is called an insect, for the word 'insect" means "cut into" All insects have bodies like this and have six legs. The bee has two pairs of wings, and when she flies the wings on each side are locked together by little hooks.
 She gets honey by means of her long underslips. She pushes it far down into a blossom and gets out the sweet juice. which she puts into her large honey bag. She goes from flow CT to flower until this bag is quite full, and then she flies home to the hive.
 Some of the honey is used for food; some is stored in little cells covered with wax, and put away like pots of jam for the winter.
 But honey is not all that the bees get from flow wers. They fill little baskets on their legs with yellow dust called pollen. The pollen mix ed with honey is used as food for the young bees. It is called "bee bread ' Each beehive is a little Kingdom the home of thousands of bees. At the head is the queen, whose subjects treat her with great respect. She is | the mother bee.
 AOSL OL leI SuDJSCCS are WOrKers | who are very busy. They keep tho l hive clean. and take care of the queen and the little baby bees. They build | six-sidSd cells of wax and gather l honey and lay up stores for, winter. 1 The ot/tr members of the Kingdom l are drones. There are only few | hundred of them, great. lazy fellows who do little except eat and sleep l The workers bear with them while 1 there is plenty of honey, but in the 1 autumn they drive the idle ones from l the hive, or sting them to death. The 1 drones cannot defend themselves fol | they have no stings as the queen and | workers have.
 The queen bee is fed with the best | of food. She seldom leaves the hive l except to lead workers to a new home | There is only one queen bee in each 1 hive.
 When a young queen comes from a | cell the old one would like to sting 1 her to death. But the other bees will not allow this. so the old queen 1 with many of the workers leaves the hive and finds Q new home. I think it is very interesting to 1 watch the bees at work ALICE M.
