Washington Star. TrsUo of Mom-n." Of nil the warships In the world one tlint Is In the (lermnn navy has the pnttlcst name. It Is named "Frauon loh." meaning praise of women, T!'n story of how a warship came to eery such a name Is as pretty as the iiniiin Itselt. Fifty yenrs ago, when fierniiinv was poor and threatened nnd at Inched constantly by one enemy or another, the Prussian king, Frederick William IV, announced that the coun try needed moro ships. Hut the country had spent so much money for defense nnd lost so much in war that It was easy enough to say that a ship was needed, but not so ensy to obtain It. In this crisis the (lerman women, stirred to their brave hearts by the troubles of their fit norland, came to the rescue. For seorsl years they worked unceasingly, nnd the result was that In 1X64 a war schooner was launched, the girt of the German wom en to Germany. I'rlnre Adalbert of Prussia then com manded the navy. And he and his fath er, the king, gave the ship its name, Praise of Women. The Praise of Women snlled away one ilny six yearn afterward and steer ed out Into tho world. It never returned to fiermany. In the Japan seas it was overcome by a typhoon and sank with every man nboard.

A dellgh'.ful gnm to piny (n the winter holidays, when tho long hours drag within doors, is Bnow fox and geese. A very slight snowfall will suffice for the game, but It may be played with snow a foot deep In a city back yard or In the field of the country. Tho game Is prepared by the boys, who flrst with high boots, trample in the snow a huge circle, with six or eight dia metric paths, as the size of the lot may allow. After these paths are clear ly marked tho fun begins. Any num ber mny join in tho sport. It is like the old story of "The Spid er and tho Fly." One person stands in the contre.of tho circle and dashes up and down the diametric paths to sol .a upon the others as they fly around the circle. The players can venture Into tho centre if they are so daring, out it caught they becomo tho spider, and dash for another victim. The one who Is catching cannot walk around the cir cumference, but Is confined to the cen tral paths. Snow baby Is another funny game. A smooth patch of snow Is selected, and as many holes or dens are pre pared as there are players. The dens are made by scooping up a little snow to form a honow place about as big as a two quart bowl. Each person selects a den wnlch ho calls his, and near which he stands. A circle Is marked lightly In the snow around the group of dens, and all take their stand within tho circle, each near his own den. About six feet off, one person is chosen, who tosses a snowl.all Into any one of the dens. The person Into whose den It falls' picks the ball up quickly and tries to hit soma one of the party, who all start to run as soon as a ball lands in a den. It the one aimed at is hit ho drops a ttone It. to his tUn and becomes the one to throw the-ball into the den of some one else. This is repeated until one of the players has six Btoncs in his den, win u lie" Is declared beaten. If at any time tho one throwing the bull from his den to ward some ono falls to hit the one hu .Mr.' s nt, a stone is put into his den, and he becomes tho one' lo throw tho ball. Unlets tncre is a crust on tho ground, this gam-i cannot be plnyed in snow more than a foot deep. Boston Globe. Wily and llio lliillor. Billy was a beautiful bay colored pony. Ho was none of your heavy, slow going farm horsed that have to bo urg ed on their way. Not he! Like a swift deer ho cleared tho ground, and horseback riding on. Billy was a de light. Everyone loved him. He was so beautiful. He would tors his fine head and arch bin neck in such a saucy way when bolng harnessed that tne was sure ho was- only waiting Impatiently to be off on a gay canter. One morning the weekly supply of butter was needed and Arthur was asked, to run over to the farmhouse for it." He was just waiting his chance to ride Billy, so he said there 'was not time to walk before school, so he guessed he would ride Billy over. Mother protested, but Arthur pleaded and so much time was lost that mother saw that she must go without the but ter or allow Arthur to ride the colt. Billy looked very sweet and inno cent of any mischievous plan as he trotted out of the yard at a very mild pace. It was the first time Arthur had ever been on bis back, and he sat proudly. The only thing that made hlin realize that he was not a valiant knight on a prancing charger was the tin butter pail on his arm. Arthur reached the farmhouse in good time, and the empty butter pall was exchnngnd for one filled with half pound prints ot delicious yellow but lei. Arthur started for home. Billy, In Duo feather, was cantering along gay ly. A few rods from the fnrm, near tho road, rfl.iod a small blacksmith's shop, where several men were lounging about, wnlttng for the "boss" to come and set them lo work. As Arthur rode by one of the men gave a long, lo-,v whistle, which started Hilly on tlm round run.

Arthur had to walk buck to tho farm for more butter, and he had plenty of compnny on the way, who thoughtfully pointed otlt the little soft yellow heaps to him. lying at Intcrrnls in tho road.

They lived then In a large house out In tho country, sever al miles from tht-lr nearest neighbors; and they often had to go to the big village, ten miles away, on business, and leave us alone. One day. Just before they started away, grandma said to Aunt Annie: "Now, Annie, If Mnry cries, give het her bottle and rock her to sleep. We shan't bo home before nlno o'clock, and probably she will sleep all the even ing. If you henr anything at the door, do not open It, as it might be the lion." 'l nero had been a circus in tho village the week before; and, ns there were no railroads In those days. It had come very olosc to grandpa's on Its way to the next town. Soon niter It had passed some men had come back and asked grandpa If hu hud seen a lion; for Koyal Ben, as thry called him, had escaped. He had not been captured as far as any ono knew; unci people fell very nervous over the idea that a Hon might be prowling about In the woods nnd hills nenr by. After grandfather and grandmother drove away, my aunt Annie sat down In tho big armchair by the open fire and was soon fast asleep. After a while t wns hungry, nnd woke and cried. (Of coui'eo I don't remember these things myself, but my aunt Annie has often told me the story. Sho was about nine years old then.) My crying aroused my aunt Annie, and she gave me my bottle of milk nml rocked roe to sleep again In my cradle. "She was very wide awuko by this time, when, all ol a sudden, she heard a roar. My aunt Annlo had never heard a Hon before, but sho knew It was Koyal Ben as soon as sho heard the sound. "Hur-r-r-r-r!" roared the hungry beast again, away off in the distance. My aunt Annie put the bar across tho door and drew all the curtalnB. Then she sat down, and waited and listened. Presently she heard it again but nenrsr this time, so clotio that she knew tho linn was in the barn, "Oh, he will get Tommy!" she thought when she hoard It. Tommy was her pet Bhecp. "Bur-r-r-r-r!" roared Royal Ben, and my aunt Annlo knew that the lion miiBt bo almost up to tho house by this time. "Oh, he Is after you," sho sold, be glrnlrg to cry; and she snatched m out of the ciadle nnd put me up in the china closet and shut 'lie door. This woke me. It was dark and cold up there, and I suppose I did not like it. So I cried as loud as I could. "Be quiet," said my aunt Annie, In a low tone, "or the old Hon will get you!" I didn't know what a lion was then, but I did know that I was not being treated right. So I Just cried and cried up there on the shelf In the china closet. Soon my mint Annie heard tho Hon again, on the porch. And then In a min ute it roared once more, this time in the room, ou the table, and my aunt Annie went over to the table, and looked; and what do you think she saw? The Hon? Atter a minute she laughed, and came to the china closet, and took me out and put me back In my cradle. But the Hon? Oh, the Hon wasn't In tue room ut all! It was a blue-bottle fly buzzing In the big milk-jar on the table. C. B. ;lagruder, in Littl Folks.

ANIMALS AND MAN. tloclllty of IT I lil Crosinrat In Antarctls Itpglonn. In an Interesting article In tlie Times Prof, Otto Nordenskjold dwells on tho lameness of tho wild creatures found furthest south lnthe Antarctic ocean. Tno ship hnd already voyaged be yond tho usual limits of the scaling vessels, Into the region where man has scarcely ever shown his face, and t'.iore, on the edge of the Ice pack, were seals so lame that they allowed themselves to he stroked and scratched, and pen gnliiH so bold that they tried to hustle tho sailors out of their breeding grounds, as If they were only other penguins trespassing. This wns only what might hnve been expected by any one who had rend the stories of tho first voyagers to tho limits of tho In habited world. The animals do not fear man, because they have never known him or suffered Injury from him. Hut the degrees of fear, mistrust, neutrality or confidence shown by wild animals which for years have been in contact with civilized man are various, and evidently depend upon something more than accident. Judging from tho attitude toward man when they see him for the first time, wo must sup pose that If they all "started Wt" they would all remain without fear. But It Is curious to note how easily, after unknown generations of mistrust, they will dismiss this feeling If onre they are convinced that his Intentions are honoruhle. Ilellglon first exempted certain ani mals from the common persecution, and placed them either under protection or gave them direct encouragement and even endowments. Tho results are that for long Intervals of ttmo these most favored races have not been mo lested; but they have not all respond ed equally to the encouragement shown them. But In some Indian states ruled by princes who maintain the strict law agnlnst taking nnlmal life which their descent nnd religion prescribe, tho attitude of some of the wildest animals toward the Inhabi tants of a progressive city full of big banking firms and blessed with rail way stations may be affected In a very striking manner. Some years ago the black buck antelopes In Jeypore were as tame as, and even tamer than, park deer. They would He down and sleep on tho slopes of railway embankments or beside tho line, and not move off when tho trains passed. Sometimes they might be seen lying almost under the windows of large country palaces. They were the deer and wild swine, so completely lost sight of the fad that they were not as good as their human neighbors, that leave had to be ob tained to kill the wild boars to snvo the crops. The religiously protected monkeys In other parts ot India are equally Indifferent to man. though from their consciousness of being a public nuisance they are naturally not on friendly terms with him. London Spectator. A Traaeily or tlm Nnrlliorn TVInlor. Signs, unnoted by tho denizens of the city, serve to guide the trappers over trackless , wastes of illlntltublo snow. A whitish haze of frost may hide the sun, pr continuous snowfall blur eveiy landmark. What heeds the trapper? The Blope of the rolling hills, the lie of the frozen river beds, the branches of underbrush protruding thiough billowed drifts are hands that point the trapper's compass. One imminent danger is of accident beyond aid. A young Indian hunter of Moose Factory set out with his wife and two children for the winter hunt ing grounds in tho forest south of James bay. When chopping, the hunt er injured his leg. The wound proved stubborn. Wrapping her husband in robes on the long toboggan sleigh, the squaw placed the younger child beside him, and with the other began tramp ing through the forest, drawing tho sleigh behind. The drifts were not deep enough for swift snowshoelng over the underbrush, and their speed was not half so fast as the hunger that pursues northern hunters like the Fen rls wolf of Norse myth. The woman sank exhausted on tho snow and tho older boy, nerved with fear, pushed on to Moose Factory for help. Guided by the boy back through the forests, tho fort people found the hunter detfd in the sleigh, the mother crouched for ward unconscious from cold, stripped of her clothing, which was wrapped round the child Bhe had taken in her arniH to warm with her own body. The child was alive and well. The fur traders nursed the woman back to life, though she looked more like a with ered creature of 80 than a woman barely In her 20s. She explained with a simple unconsciousness of heroism that the ground had been too hard for her to bury her husband, and she was afraid to leave the body aud go on to the fort lest the wolves should molest the dead. Frank Leslie's Monthly. Soon Sotllod. , A famous lawyer once had a singu lar case to settle. A physician came to him in great distress. Two sister living In the same house had children of equal age who so resembled each other that their own mothers were un able to distinguish them when they were together. Now, It happened that, by the care lessness of the nurses, the children had become mixed; and how were the mothers to, make ' sure that they re ceived their own Infants? "But perhaps," said the lawyer, "the children weren't changed at all." "Oh, but there's no doubt that they were changed," said the physician. "Are you sure of It?" "Perfectly," "Well, if that's the case, why don't you change them back? I' don't see any difficulty In the case." Mr New York City.
