A Ionfr time of?o there lived a poor ahoeinaker, with li is wife and child, jut ontnirie a great forest. Now, tli child, wuoae iittiue was Hans, was not much more than a foot Ligb, and Le could run as Itutt and jump as high an any hare in the forest. One day his mother went ont into the meadow to cut grass for the cow and took little Hans with her. Hhe pat him in a nice, sunny place and, giv ing him some lowers, told him to slay there while she went about her work. As he wua sitting there, playing witu the flowers, two little hares came hop ping np. "What a strange liaro that is sitting over there," said one, pointing with Lis paw towiird linns. "Can you iutup?" asked the other. Hang laughed as he thought how he had jumped in and out of his father's boots, and hopped on hands and feet just as the little hares had done. "You ruubt be one of on," said the little hares, as they eyed liana curi ously wheu lie jumped and hopped in rial rabbit fuhion on the grass. "Come au.l play with us," they said. Ko all the long aftoruoon they frolicked and chased one another, go ing further into the forest all the time. lly-auil-l'y they came to the bush where the Ilare family lived. "Who is timt with yon?" asked the Papn Hare. "This is a little stranger hare we met in the meadow," replied tho little ones. "No," said the Mamma ITare, "that is a little child. He has probably strayed from his mother, who by this time is worrying about him. It is too late to take him home now, so be must ty heT-j to-night and to-morrow we j will take him back to the meadow." bo they ate their supper of hares bread and clover and then went to bed. But before Hans fell asleep the Mamma Hare put a warm, soft hare's coat on him so that he should not take cold. "Now yon look just like one of my little ones," Mid she. "If I did not know better 1 should think you were a little hare." liright ami early the next morning Ilaus and the hares went the niesdow. They found his mother and father al ready there, hunting for him and cull M:g, "Hans, little Ilaus, where art hoti?" "Here I am," cried little Hans, run sing to them. "This cannot be our Hans. Oh, no; tiis is a young hare." "But I am your Hans," laughed he jumping into his father's arms. "I5nt these good hares, who have taken care of me during tho night, gave me thlB hare's coat." "The good, kind hares!" exclaimed the shoemaker. "What can wo do to reward them?" "Ion can, if yon will," replied the Papa Hare, "protect ua from the fox and the hunter." "We will try to," said the shoe maker, shuking hands with the IVpa Bare. A few days later there was a knock at the door, and when the shoemaker opened it the fox sprang in. "Oood morning, Mr. Fox," said the shoemaker. "What can we do for you?" "Make me a goo.! pair of shoes," aid the fox. "1 am going to hunt aome hares, ami I can't run fact enough in my old ones. Ko the shoemaker made him a pair of boots very clumsy and light. They hurt Mr. Fox's feet so much that he could not run at all in them. The shoemaker had put pitch into each of the boots, so that once ou they could not be drawn oil'. "Now, friend Fjx," thonght the good shoemaker, "you can't do much mischief to-day." Not very much later the l'apa Hare came running in. "Oh," cried he, breathlessly, "the hunter is after me." 'Quick, " said Hans's mother, "hide in the bed." Then she d rented Hans in his hare's coat. Mardly had she dona so when the huutt-r strode in. "Where is the hare that just now ran into your house?" he naked. "Hare?" said the shoemaker. "Now you must mean my little Hans, who wears, as you see, a hare's coat." "1 though he was a hare," said the hunter, "and almost shot him. Dow will I ever be able to tell the ililTerence after this?" "Whenever you see a hare, call ont, and if he stands up, aud does not run away you will know it is Uaus," said the mother. '1 he hare, who overheard this, ever after that stood still and did not run away wheu he heard the hnuter, and as his other enemy, the fox, was boon after shot he was safe to go where he wished. And Hans never forgot the harts. F.venn hou he grew to be a man he fed and sheltered them in win ter, while tlioy, in return for his kind nae, brought him hares' bread and at Faster they tilled a nest with red and Liu aud yellow eggs.

The Fall and Winter catalogues art upon our tables, and we look over the tempting lists, wondering if we cas tffordauyof them. I'erhaps the doc tor bills have been unnsnally large this year, or onr eldest born has en tered upon an expensive conrst of study aud it seems like downright extravagauce to purchase anything u the floral line. Hut let me tell you something. I invest in a few bulbs reliable bulbs, bought of a reliable dealer. Who knows but the sweetness and beauty of those selfsame bulbs, coaxed into blossoming by your care and Uod's sunshine, may enter into every nook and corner of your son), and lead you to live up to the very beat that is within yon ; and if you are not to much uf a household machine this Winter as you were last, maybe next Spring's doc tor bills will not be so alarmingly large as last year's; and, as your first-born returns home at night fall, alter a hard day's study, and a constant buttle with theories and isms, how restfnl will lie your blossoming plnnts in the bright bay window! Full down the blinds aud light the study lump! Light, warmth, flowers what a pleasant picture! "What bulbs shall I buy?" Why, those yon like best, of course. But if 1 must con tine myself to only a few, these are what I should select. First would come the Lilies. Send for a Bermuda Faster Lily, to make glad ttte Christmas! ide. A Lilinm Auratnm, too, the Oolden-rayed Lily of Japan. One can get these beauties as low as 25 cents each. I should want a Hpotted I 'alia in this collection, and a Lieu Chu, or Chinese Sacred Lily. Of course, one wants Tulips. Try the new Butterfly Tnlip, or Caloohortus. The outstdo leaves of the flower have spots upon them, causing them to re semble butterflies' wings. One of the hardiest and most beauti ful of these Tulips is Futchellus, hav ing a rich, yellow flower, sometimes known as Golden Butterfly. They can be had at 6 cents each. Then there aro the Hyacinths both double and single. How these beauties tempt us, and stare at us from the cat alogues. One should have a Roman Hyocintl in the collection, if possible. They are especially valuable as early Winter blossoms. Then there are the Grape Hyacinth; the Tufted, Feathered aud Musk Hyacinths. One can have quite a variety if one's pocketbook will al low it. . 1 beg of yon not to fill yonr windows with Geraniums. They are pretty, to be sure, but other flowers are prettier. A double white, red and p:ia are nice together, if you secure good bloomers, but three yoad Geraniums among other flowers would be far prettier than a wholo row of spindling, sickly ones. Besides, everybody grows Geraniums, but everybody does not grow bnlbs. I should want at least three good, reliable Tea Hoses. A Catharine Mer met; a White Ilose known as The Queen, and the new crimson knowu as Marion Dingee. I wish you could bnve seen the lovely Cuthariue Mermet that bloomed so well for me for two Winters. On last New Year's Day a great creamy-pink Kose came ont in all its beanty, delighting my guests with its beauty and fragrance. It is a constant bloomer during tlit Winter months, and one reason 1 love it so Is because 1 grew it from a "slip." Over three years ago a friend handed me two Catharine Mermet Kosebuds. 1 took the cuttiugs, pinching off the buds, and one of them grew aud grew in the little pot I put it in, and its sweet fragrant Koses have graced the bridal corsage, and been a constant delight to myself and friends. One can derive more real pleasure from Koses in the window than from any other one class of flowers. Then yon want vines, of course. Tht Parlor Ivy is one ol the most beauti ful vines 1 have grown. In the centre of one hangtng-babket I have Fink Oxalis, and on the outer Oil go of the basket l'arlor Jvy reigns supreme, clinging gracefully up the wires by which tho basket is suspended, and growing down over the sides. All the Ivy asks for is a little earth, plenty of water and sunshine, and its glossy leaves will help to make a per fect picture in tho bay-window. The different sorts of Wandering Jew nre very effective in a window. Mine never know when to quit growing and I never think of spending a Win ter without at least one hanging-basket of Wandering Jew. Do not take vour Century Plant down cellar this Winter. Make a fancy stand, by nailing the top of a cheese box to four stout legs, then tack on irregular pieces of bark to the edge of the top. Paint the whole stand any desired color, give the pieoes of bark a touch of green paint, and, over all, a good coat of varnish. What it yon do not expect to live to see your Century Plant bloom? Just place it ou the stand in the centre of your bay-window, and see if it does not give a stateliness to the room that it did not possess before. PAVOKKD J LOWERS. "Yellow flowers are in high favor, said a florist to a representative of the New lork Jlerttld the other day: "Yellow! Yes, yellow as virgin gold! That is the accepted color and will be the rage this fail," said an np-town florist to me yesterday. "If eras were marked by colors this would, indeed, be the golden era in floriculture.

"Not long ago," writes a lady, "I heard one man discuss with another how he might best 'bring a womau to his feet, as he metaphorically express ed himself. Without at all admitting that that is a proper place for any woman to be, let me submit a few time honored recipes gathered from olassio fiction, deduced from reading between the lines of current news, and inferred from cironmstautiol evidenoe in those lives which it has been vouchsafed to me to observe with more or less care. "A man ran bring almost any woman to his feet by the simple and inexpens ive device of pretending that she is too good for him. Why a woman is willing to accept a flattering estimate of her character from a man whom she has the beat possible reasons tknow is no connoisseur of character at all, it would le difficult to say: It would also be curious to know why a woman who has never made goodness the end and aim of her existence should be gratified at the idea that she has accidentally achieved it; bat the fact remains that pothing will make a woman so entirely manageable as for a man to insist, in face of direct evidence to the contrary, that she is an angel whose perfections he vainly tries to emulate. "If the man is dissatisfied with the degree of subjection obtained by pre tending that a woman is too good for him, let I im follow it up after she is at bis feet by turning rouud and pre tending that be is too good for her. This will produce any desired degree of moral and temperamental limpness,bni he must take great care not to try this method first, as it doesn't do to begin with. Another ver-v successful masculine wile i beg pardon, I mean method is to pretend that a woman is wise be yond the average ot her sex, ber mind approaching in its virility even the masculine standard. With some women the 'good comrade' fiction may be used with profit. They will be better pleased to be told tbat they are worthy to Le met on a plane of equal friendship with the other sex, than with any amount of the chivalrous but patronizing devo tion which they might claim as a right "There is one way in which the m tu rn ay bring a woman to bis feet hut I almost hesitate to mention it, as it in volves so much time, trouble, self- sacrifice, and expense that the game is hardly worth the caudle. "He may enter apon a consistent course of promoting the welfare and happiness of the woman whom he wants to subjugate. He may study her tastes aud try to gratify ttietn. lie may bring her snob offerings aud testimon ials of his regard asconvntionality and his pnrse may permit; 10 tell the truth, she may not be offended if he sone times goes the merest trifle beyond the limits of both. He may lay every thing he has at her feet, offering n this fxshion a lust price for bring ing her to his feet There are just two objections to this way the first is that, as I have said, it seems to :ost more than it comes to, and the at her that so curious and past finding ont is the nature of woman it is as ikely as not to faiL "Iheu tl.ero is the exactly opposite lan of coni-istcnt abuse which, woman K ing an illogical animal, is pretty ikely to succeed if some disinterested H-rson does not interfere. The worst of it is that though all women may be reduced to subjection by judicious 1 use, it often tikes so much of it in refractory cases that the law, or the woman's male relatives, or aome other meddlesome element enters into the 'ase aud prevents such complete and I satisfactory experiments as might have been desired. Systematic abuse is by far the surest way tor the man, only he must be carefnl that the particular woman on whom he tries it has no one specially interested in her welfare. '1 do not offer myself as the advocate r defendant of any of these ways of bringing a woman to the feet' of a per son of the opposite sex. I simplv -submit them as the ways which have been used with tolerable success from the beginning of time, and which are aot likely to fall until some radical hanges take place in human nature. "If the mau had asked how to win a woman's self-respecting love he would bave been told to offer her the fair ex change of a life of affectionate care for one of loving devotion, to give her as much sympathy aud appreciation as he was capable of, to promise her an sqnal share in the anxieties, responsi bilities, and rewards of his life, and to m no more than an equal share in ...so of her own.

Once, in a love story, the heroine cried, "Were I shipwrecked on a desert island, with no hope of ever feeing a human being again, 1 would shine my finger nails on the palms of my bands nntil they were as bright as now." Good for the girl, bnt she was in a story-book, and the sad fact remains still a sad fact that the average live woman takes ecstatic delight iu donning her ugliest and rag gedest gown the minute the eye of the world is off her for a few minutes. None but her "dearest" and "chum miest" friend ever sees her in this gown or knows how she looks with her hair nucnrled, except perhaps her family; but, as Kipling would say, That's another story." Mow, if her dearest friends do not call forth the prettiest frock and the twistedest curls, ho does? The answer is most easily found in examples. One given A formal luncheon. Hue knows she is on'y going to meet women, and of them she knows a few slightly; there are others for whom she does not c ire a cent, aud perhaps Home whom she dislikes, but she makes a most elabor ate toilet. Her bravest frock aud bon net will appear her most immaculate gloves and shoes, and she will curl every hair of her head. Another illus tration The daintiest ribbons and laoes and the finest flowers are saved to be worn to delight the eye of man. jt'or both of these tricks she will give (the best of reasons; bnt why, wheu it tan be otherwise, does the ragged wrapper and the horny curl-paper exist? There are some women who remind ouo of the cl arly- cut cameos, so exquisitely neat are they. JNIorn ing, noon and night, and between nieals, may or may not bring ont differ ent costnmes, but always there is the same fieslt, clean look about them. Even ' chums" are not favored with glimpses of careless dressiug. The qutstion is answered partly: Women want most to appear stylish in the eyes of other women, pretty and sweet in the eyes of men, and expect the love oi their relatives aud best irieuds to mend holes, sew on buttons, brush and curl locks, making imagination labor heav ily to make up lor these and other de ficiencies in tie toilet with a few ex ceptions.

Of all civilized nations, the Frenel alone have adopted a sei sible ami logical sy&tem of weights and measure! something for which they can give t reason and tell the why and the where fore. The base of the system is metre, which i one ten-millionth-of the dis tance from the equator to the pole, and from this the other principal units of measure and weight are at once derived. That part of arithmetic relating to weights and measures has no terrors for French school children. They do not have to puzzle their poor little brains to remember such senseless rules as that a perch" of stone is 16J feet long, 1 foot high and 1 feet thick, and contains 21 cubio feet; or that the standnrd bushel contains twenty-one hundred and fifty eubie inch es and forty-two hundredths of a cubic inch, or anything equally bewildering about wine gallous and ale gallons. Having learned what a metre is, the rest is as easy as the alphabet. The names of the denominations lower than the unit are indicated by prefixing the Latin words, dcci, one-tenth; centi, oue-hnndreth,' and mifli, one-thousandth to tho unit. The names of the denominations higher than the nnit are formed by prefixing the Greek words, deca, ten; hrrtn, one hundred; kilo, one thonsaud, and iniria, tea thousand to the unit. The entire system u decimal, from first to last, and is simplicity itself. Now, it is trne that many otbet governments, onr own included, have adopted the metric system; but the people, outride of France, will have nothing to do with it, and seem to think that it is much better to sling to their old and clumsy systems. Taking'our cue from England, w. pin our faith to the yard as the unit of onr system. Oue third of a yard is a foot, one-twelfth of a foot is an inch, two yards make a fathom, seventeen hundred and sixty yards are a mile, and so on, without rhyme or reason. What possible sense is there in such a jumble of thirds, twelfths, sixths and so forth, unless it was devised for the purpose of maknug learning more diffi cult? And what do you suppose was tbe origin of the nnit a yard? Jt seems too ridiculous to be a fact, bnt it is true that the yard is supposed to represent the length oi the arm of King Henry I, ot Englncd, taken by his express order in ll'io! Could anything be more absurd than that? The original measure was kept at the Exchequer in London for many centurie. It was examined by a royal commissioner in 171:2, who, in bis re port of it said: "A kitchen poker, filed at both ends, would make as pood a standard. It baa been broken, rid then repaired an clumsily tbat tbe Joiut u) nearly n loww at a pan- of tone." For the uses of the British govern ment an accurate copy of this arbi trary, clumsy, broken standard was prepared in l.GO, aud this copy, by act of Parliament iu 1824, was made the legal uiensure. At the same tiixio it was ordered that if destroyed it shotild be restored by a comparison with the length of the pendulum vi brating seconds at the latitnde of London. Iu 18 !5 the copy was destroyed by the great Ore at tbe Pnrlt irueut House. Attempts were then mude to find the leupth by means of the pendulum as already arranged, but the methods were found utterly impracticable, and the Englibh government was com pelled to make use of snob, copies of the destroyed yardstick as they sup posed reliable Hie United states government was not only unwise enough to adopt the inconvenient and inconsisteut English measure, but sent a special messenger abroad to secure a copy of tbe yard stick for the use of the Coast Survey. The copy secured was made by a London instrument maker, who certi fied to its correctness. Strange to say, however, the American standard is one thousandth of an inch longer than the Urn tnh stsndard yardstick. Now the mischief is done, and it will take many years to undo it Americans inherit the conservatism of the English, and dislike to chang e, even when a change would be beneficial, so we must go on bothering our heads over duo-decimals, when we tao use decimals with one-tenth of tbe time and trouble.
