Crow at Home on the Earth.

81 have seen no bird walk the ground
with just the same air the crow does, ~
writes John Burroughs in can Idyll of
the Honey Bee." ut Is not exactly
pride; there Is no strut or swagger in
1t, though perhaps just little con-
descension; 1t is the contented and self
possessed gait Of a lord over his do
mains. All these acres are mine he
says, and all these crops; men pillow
and SOW for me, and stay here or &c
there and find life sweet and good
wherever I am
"Ihe hawk looks awkward and out
Of place on the ground the game birds
hurry and skulk, but the crow is al
home and treads the earth as If there
were none to modest or make him
afraid"

Put His Americanism First,

'You must remember" said he who
first came to us as Marquis de la Fay
cite when he was asked by what title
he preferred to be addressed when he
was last on these shores, "that I am
an American general"
He had renowned meanwhile one
of the proudest patents Of nobility in
France that he might feel stronger
within him the call of freedom. The
reply is characteristic of his whole
outlook Of life.

What Father Used To Do.

When father comes home from the

dishes washed, the family all gather
in the parlor, the CRATE is lighted,
mother sits at one corner of nhe fire.
place showing the littlest one how to
knit and father lights his old calabash
pipe and tells stories about his past
life. Those are the happiest evenings
for the children, says the Kansas City
Star. They would rather hear father
tell things about him self than listen
to the best fairy tale ever told, for
they know that father is one Of the
smartest men that ever lived and that
it isn't his fault that he is not great
man or rich man. So father, on
those happy evenings, sits and smokes
his pipe and dreams aloud his Oft-told
dreams and the children gather around
him and ask him all sorts of questions
which he delights to answer. Mother
has heard the stories many times, and
helped him build the new dreams, but
she is always pleased to hear the stor-
les again and to lend her suggestions
to the new plans for the future.
