James Whiteomb Ititcy, in the Century, THE BABES IN THE WOOD r.Y TATIKJiCE BTAPLETOH. Ho was a littlo paupor boy being re turned to the State that must maintain him. Ho sat very quiet in his scat, thinking of his grandmother, who had died in thnt littlo village that was send ing him away. Ho thought of her grave on the hillside burying ground, where wild roses and raspberry bushes clung about tho stones ; where the bees hummed in the sunshine, the bird sang in tho maples, and tho long gruss in tho soft summer breeo blew across the graves liko palls. He remembered a h )i ny hunded fanner, who h id p isse.l liimjm his ta l journey to the depot with one of tho selectmen of the town, nnd tho farmer had patted his head, saying kindly: "Take this five cents, bub; keep it and you'll never want money for you'll alius have it" He pondered" over this arithmetical problem until his brain was tired. When ho drank from the rusty tin cup ho thought of the rollicking brown brook that run through tho vil lage, nnd wondered if the children play ing on its bunks would remember him." No one tried to talk to him, for he was such a small, quiet child he was not no ticed. No one saw tho pathetic little faco grow pale or the shadows come in his dark, bright eyes. Ho dieimcdtho second night of his journey, th it with his grandfather, lie was walking on a long bridge nnd a great steamship breathing dense, black smoke tame crashing down upon them. Ho awoke with a ligwo cry nnd fouud himself lying on the ground under tho stars. There had been an ncduent to the train and some kind meu had lifted the uncon scious child out of a window. A liht flushed close to his face. "It's tho little chuji shipped to Wis consin," suid a brukeman, holding his light lower, ' he is dead I think nnd better oil no doubt, poor little fellow." Ar a long blank the child came bojjrto lifo with those words ringing in hilars, "Dead and belter off." There were thick woods near, and close to him wounded people lying on blankets. Afar oil was a lurid light where one of the wrecked cars was burning. Ho wondered what had happened; in terror he daggered to his feet, and with the blind instinct of a sleep-walker, stum bled iuto the forest. When the wounded were curried away ho was forgotten. Ho was all alone in tho world; there was no ono to miss him. In a cool, grussy hollow hidden by tall green ferns he slept until lute the next day. He wondered then if ho were deiuLJie seemed deserted by every one, andhc had no idea how he cumo iuto tho woods. Ho saw his little basket near him, noted his clothes were burned and dusty. He listened and the ripplo of a brook came near to him. lie weut to it and bathed his head and the wound in his forehead that began to smurt. There was a little rustle in the alder bushes, nnd there across the brook, looking at him with beaming face, was a little, golden-haired child. Her blue eyes were red with tears, hoi pretty white gown dirty and torn, her blue sash trailing on the ground. "Harry, my Harry," she cried, stretch ing out her littlo arms, "come get baby, baby never wun oflf no more." He went across tho brook carrying his basket. She was very hungry and ills generous heart rejoiced that he had eaten iiltlu u'l the joui ueyand hud clung tight to his basket through his trials. " From her confused tulk he learned she had been lost in the woods tho day before and slept all night at tho foot of a tree. She saw he was not Hurry, but stroked his face with her loving hand, saying: "Ou hurted, poor other 1 lurry ? Mamma make ou well." His senses coming to him with this new charge, he took her by tho hand and set out to lind some body. Ho was not afraid in the woods, for ho and his grandmother had slept many a night under tho stars. Toward dark he saw on aside path a pair of shining eyes, round globes of firo. He was currying tho child, and he kept bravely on, "say ing tho prayer bis grandmother had taught him. Tho luminous eyes disap peared quickly, und ho knew it was only a harmless little fox. When he could go no further he laid the child down, covering her w ith his jacket, and watched until he fell asleep by her side. So quaint and pretty a pair might have Veen those two sweet babes left in the depths of a forest by a cruel uncle, and after weary wandering, finding a serene sleep, and a leafy shroud brought by "the minor poets of the air," the littlo woodland birds. In the afternoon his basket was empty, but he gathered tho dead ripe raspberries and the shining blackberries under their sheltering vines. 'I hey passed some cows that day, mild, solemn creatures, who looked at them curiously but did not stir, though ono little calf ran in tor ror, making tho baby laugh merrily. They enmo to a deserted log hut that night where tho men in a deserted sugar camp had lived, and here ho made tho child a bed of fir boughs. They were hungry nnd thirsty. Tho brooks wero dry in tho depths of the forest, the only water the spring away back by the ferns. Tho grass was dead and sere, tho flowers wilted and withered. The nir was close and hot and the boy, whose arms were weary carry his little charge, stood in the open door of tho hut looking nt the velvet blackness of tho fky, where, like dia monds, a few stars peeped out over the treo tops. Suddenly along tho grass grown roal by tho hut he heard tho sound of gallopping hoofs. Then dash ing by like a whirlwind, ran a heard of teiri icd cattle. Ho could hear their hoarse panting, seo their blnck forms. He clasped his hands, was it wolves thnt frightened them? Ho listened. Into the quiet of tho night there sounded a curious snapping darkling, then a roar like tho breaking of a monstrous wave on a rocky shore. Up. far above treo tops, leaped a great red tongue of flame aspiring to tho stars. 1 lie forest monarchs writhed and bowed and Hung themselves under tho hot breath, green leaves withered and drooped under tho fire frost, skeleton brunches waved up and down like tho shrivelled arms of beseeching beldames. tho pines shot needles of tire and the trees blossomed into marvelous flowers of name. Tho child looked but nn instant, thenhe ran in, lifted the crvintr bnbv on his back and hurried down the old road. A pungent smoke, the breath of the evergreens, the life of mighty oaks, filled the air, blind ing nnd stilling him. Ho tried to run faster, but the child's weight drugged him back. Fiery cinders Hew past him heralds of tho suTcring and death so near blown by tho hot wind that funned his pallid check. All around the flames crept in a narrowing circle. In his awful need he never thought of de serting the baby in his care. When tho fiery blast came closer he took her in his nrmsand staggered on. It was quite light now, w.th an awful vividness. Hark! Above the roar of tho firo king, the crash of falling trees, the crack ling of brunches nnd leaves, there was another sound. The steady thud of galloping hoofs. Another stampede 1 herd of cattle were ns frightful as tho lire. I he Imy listened in piteous fear. Out of the forest p ith that met the old road near a b:g pine, now writhing its majestic height under tho hot blast, came a big whito horse and a rider with bowed head bir icd in his cloak. Merci fully he heard the cry for help and drew up his mad steed beneath the rainof fire tailing all about them. "Take her," shouted the boy, "I kin run alone nil right." The m m d d not speak. With mighty movement he stooped and swung i no ciiiuiren on tne sauuio beninu mm. "Hold fory our iife," he shouted honrselv. and nsllie mare leaped tho old pine burst into a great tower of Hume, like a giant octopus reaching nery arms after them The firo king might fly with mighty wings, leap in fantastic, swift bounds. overcoming time nud space, but it could not gain on Joel Wanes white mare, known all the country round.

A silver stream in the sun I ght, but now in tho conilugrution a river of blood. Tho rider flung out his left nrm and held the childre l closo.and with his right steadied t ho rearing mare. There was one breathless moment, a quic'.t leap, a splash in the cool water, a slip on the muddy bottom, a quick re covery to the shining sand, nnd a steady push ahead. The stream rippled overthe'r scoiched clothing and blistered flesh. 1'chind them tho trees, giants' torches, flamed resinous smoke and lurid light, while the linked branches of the oaks and maples Hung out great red bars, tho work of a frightful caster; the molten metal of misery nnd death to the forest. Coabi nnd charred timber dropped and hissed in the stream like poisonous senicnts disappearing to their foul dens, and th-.i fire king, batlled by Its only conqueror, died there on the liver bunk. In tho channel for ono moment tho brave mare swam with her heavy load, then her hiofs rested on the sandy bevh, the sedgy shore, the soft turf of her master's meadow. Tho child, still clinging to the baby I girl, sunk again into a curious trance.

Considering the fact that so many wo men nro obliged to pass a great portion of their timo in the kitchen, why not make it an attractive apartment rather than stow it away in the basement, or in some dnrk corner of the ho'jse, ns is now too frequently dono f Most houses dis play pleasant sitting-rooms; but if we judge of tho conveniences nnd general pleasantness of the kitchen by the rooms in front of the house, we utterly fail in our conjectures. To mnko a little show in company room, how many actual kitchen comforts are denied in many households? It is surely better to begin our house-furnishing nt tho kitchen nnd work toward tho front as wo are able. Let tho kitchen closet bo well Btockcd, even though the parlor suffer a little. lijenl lli rata. Instruction Tor IO I nir Carpets. Carpets are often badly laid down, either from ignorance or carelessness. The carpet, neatly folded, should bo brought in and laid down as it is folded, the way tho widths are to run. It must then bo unfolded by degrees, not dragged open any way. When the carpet is thoroughly opened out, let tne centre w idth be laid perfectly straight from one end to tho other, a tinned tack put at each end to keep it in his place and nil the other widths laid straight according to the first. When one end of the wid hs is straight and thoroughly stretched, let it bo tacked down with tinned tacks nt regular intervals, begin ning at one end and working towards tho other. When this first end has been firmly fastened down, let ono side, at right cngles to the end nailed already, be tacked, taking care to pull it out "tnut," as tho sailors say. When the side nnd end at right angles have been fastened down, the conesponding sido and end nro easily managed, and the thing is done. Xeto York World. Peacock Feather Fan. Take n small Chinese fan, round or slightly oval in shnpc, cover it with dark green paper muslin or any dark green thin material; cut tho feathers about four inches long, me isured from the top of the fibers, llave a bottle of mucilage ready; begin by clipping the fibers remaining on the quill, fiom which has been cut tho tops, takes theso fibers and glue them nil around the edge of the fan, so they will extend about two inches over the top of the fan. Take the largest si.e of the feathers and glue in the center of the top and have them about one inch longer than top of fibers. Keep on glueing one feather nfter an other, arranging 60 the smnllcst will come to ho bottom. When the first layer has been placed ull around the out side edge of the fun begin the secoud layer. Keep on until one sido is nil finished; let it dry then begin on the other side; when all is finished and dry, take a curling kuife or any other blunt knife or shears nnd begin curling the long fibers into ni c large nnd soft curls. Those on tho edge curl closely down to the edge. Next wind tho han dle with peacock-blue ribbon, finish with a full bow with ion ends of the same and you will have a beautiful fan. De troit Free Prist. Veal in Tempting Shapes. Many very deli.ious dishes may be made of veal. To be good, veal should be about two mouths old, when the flesh will be firm, with a pink tinge, nnd the bones hard. Veal is divided into fore and hind quarters; the fore quarter is divided into toil, breast, shoulder nnd neck, the bind quarter into leg and loin. Chops are cut Irom the loin, and the leg is used for cutlets and fillets. The loin, shoulder and fillet nnd breast are used for rousting. The knuckle and neck lire used forsoup, stews, pies and croquettes. Frica ldclles of Veal. Put on one gili of sweet milk nnd half a teacup of bread crumbs o boil uutil thick.

A man without discretion may be com pared to a vessel without a helm; which, however rich its cargo, is in continual danger of being wrecked. Violin Villages. No musicnl instrument is deserving of greater care than tho violin. A good one will last for centuries, und improve with nse. A newspaper writer tells something of the people who make the best violins, in Mnrkneukirchen, with its surrounding villages, Klingenthul, rleisscn, Kourbuck nud (.rusliu, in r0X' ony, where there nrc about 15,000 people who do nothing but make violins, i lie inhabitants, from the little urchin to the old, gray-headed man, the small girl and the old mother, are nil engaged in inuk ing some parts of a fiddle. A good instrument coi sists of C2 dif ferent pieces. The older men make tho finger board from ebony and the string holder of the screws. Tho small bovs mako themselves useful by looking after tho glue-pot. A man with strong, steady hands and n clear eye puts the different p'eces together nnd this is tho most dithcult tusk or all. The women generally occupy them selves as polishers.

There is one that makes nothing but a deep wines color, another a citron color, yet another uu orange color and so on. Inscriptions in Saxon Houses. Many of the houses in Saxon villages bear an iusc iption of somo motto or sentiment. t if ten, snyi tho )'o!V Companion, theso sentences show great originality, seeming to reflect the characleiistics of the hou-e-owucr. The following examples of such homely literature nro taken from "The Land lie yond the Forest :" " Till money I gt from my father In-law, Aly roof,aius! must bo covered with straw,1 of couro adorns a thatched cottage. Another has a more serious ring: ' Within this house a guest to d iv. Ko long the Lord doth tat me live; Itut when lie bills, 1 mustnwny, Against his will I cannot strive. " Th'i mistrustful character ol the Saxon thus finds vent : " Trust yourself to every one; 'Tin not wisu to trust to none. IVttor, though, to havo no friend, Than ou many to dejMMid.'

The Absolute Safety of Registered Inltecl Slate Homl Cleverly 10 teemed Counterfeits. In tho southeast corner of the Sub- Treasury building, toys tho New York Comnvr-ml AatertiHr, is a quiet, cozy little room that might almost be taken for the private office of a city lawyer, with its two desks, leather-cushioned chairs, and large bookcase. There is little about it suggestive of money or great wealth, except tho heavy wiie screen or partition which separates the two employes from contact with the out side public. In the screen are two small window-like openings through which all business is transacted. Currency seldom finds its way into this ollhe, yet un counted millions in government securi ties arc pnssea buck ana forth tnrougn the windows in the screen, for the office is the bond department of the Sub- Treasury. Hero subscriptions to gov ernment loans are taken, culled bonds redeemed and registered bonds ex changed. There nrc other offices throughout the I mted states where the same work is done, but as New York is the linanciulfcentre of the country, tho greater proportion ot the bona business is dono here. M. L. Muiiiemnn, the heal of the bond department, in describing the method employed in transferring a regis tered bond from ono holder to another, or in changing a coupon bona ror a registered bond, said : "The whole matter of changing coupon to registered bonds and of trans ferring registered bonds is simple enough. A person, for exnmplc, owns a f 10,0(10 tour percent., 1JI0 , coupon bond, and desires to have a registered bond in its stead. He brings his bonds here, and makes out his application on a blank, which we have prepared for that purpose, in which ho gives his name and address. The application and coupon bond are forwarded to the bond department at Washington. The gov eminent opens an individual a count on its books with tho bondholder.
