WORK OF A NOBLE CHARITt.
Children's Aid Society Giving Keller to
llot and Tired Poor Little Onei.
The Children's Aid Society, of New York
Cily, has begun j tg Burame r work for pooi
children. The summer home at Bath Beach,
wh'-jh had been closed during the winter,
was Invaded on the opening day by some
800 little children from as many miserable
homes In the tenement districts. The cot
tage for crippled children received twenty
four of these little unfortunates
The building which they occupy was con
structed especially with a view to theii
romfort and happiness, and nothing is un
thought of during their stay that will con
tribute to their enjoyment. It is the desire
DT tte Children's Aid Society to send sev
eral thousand little girls from the indus
trial schools during the summer to Bath
Beach, and as many boys to the Brace
Farm, at Kensico, Westchester County.
The Health Home at Coney Island, in
tended for sick infants, accompanied by
their mothers, lias also been opened. This
last-mentioned branch of tlio summer work
of the society is most beneficent in its re
sults. The lives of hundreds of young
children are saved annually by means of
Miat instrumentality, and the rest and
recreation afforded their tired and ex
hausted mothers is a boon of priceless
value.
To carry on these various branches and
to enable the Children's Aid Society to ex
tend their operations so as to include as
large a number as possible of poor and
helpless children, libernl contributions
from the charitable and fortunate are
necessary. Checks may be sent to C. Lor
ing Brace, Secretary, United Charities
Building, eorr.er Twenty-seoond street and

ji HUMAN SCARF, jj
Miss Minerva's knitting fell to tho \
floor, as rising hastily she adjusted j
her spectacles and peered out of the I
window.
The door leading iuto the kitchen
was open and Elizabeth Ann ha 1 seen
Miss Minerva's agitation. "I wonder :
ivhat it is this time," she muttered, as
she poured hot water iuto a pan, pre
paratory towashiugtho dinner dishes.
"Yes'in," she answered in response
to Miss Minerva's excited call of
"Elizabeth Ann!"
"That horrid dog from the next
place is chasing Peter. Run aud put !
.he little beast out."
As Elizabeth Ann crossed the yard I
i large black cat, closely followed by
1 Scotch terrier, whisked past her
uid in at the kitchen door. The dog
ivaggett its tail aud frisked around
Elizabeth Ann.
"Oh, Flip, why do you worry poor
jld Peter so? Go home, sir," she
laid severely. The terrier trotted j
»fter her to a remote corner of the j
paid, where he submissively crept |
through a gap in the feuce which \
separated Miss Minerva's property
from the adjoining place.
A man at work on tho other side j
threw down his hoe aud came up. He ,
>vas tall aud spare aud was clad iu
olue jean trousers and checked shirt. j
"Flip, tresspassin' again?" he
asked.
"Ho was chasiu' Peter," said Eliza
beth Ann. "It was the chickens this
morniug, Mr. Dobbs."
"Keeps you pretty busy, doesn't i
it?"
Elizabeth Ann laughed. "I don't |
mind it, it's fun," she said.
"She always did set great store by
Peter, but Flip can't abide hiiu. Still
be wouldn't hurt the critter."
"Miss Minerva doesu't like dogs," j
J*d Elizabeth Ann, laughing again.
Mr. Dobbs chuckle 1."I reckon it's
liore tho dog's owner that she doesn't
like," he said.
"1 must go back," said Elizabeth
/Lnu, in a regretful tone. "Good-by,
lor now, Mr. Dobbs."
"Mighty interestin' child for only
bain' 11, too," said Mr. Dobbs, reflec
tively, stroked his grizzled beard, as
he looked after Elizabeth. "Wonder
what Minerva Collins 'd say if she
knew me aud her is such friends."
As he resumed his hoeing his
thoughts went back to tho years when
the relations between him and Miss
Minerva had not been in their present
strained condition; to that unlucky
eveuiug when a discussion arose as to
the proper mode of baptism. He had
contended that sprinkling was sutli- !
cieut, aud Miss Minerva had held out
for immersion. That was long before
Elizabeth Ann had come to live with
her aunt. Mr. Dobbs had often told
her about the quarrels.
"And she's never taken any notice
of me since. I tried once to make it
up. And it was strange about that,
too," he had added thoughtfully.
Elizabeth Ann had wondered how he
had tried to make it up, but had not
liked to ask.
"Did you see him on his own side
befpre you came back?" asked Miss
Miuerva when Elizabeth Ann went
back to her interrupted dishwashing.
"Yes'm," answered Elizabeth Anu.
"Nasty little beast!"ejaculated Miss
Miuerva.
When the last dish had been placed
In the closet and the kitcheu putin
spotless. order Elizabeth Auu weut '
into the sitting room.
"If everything's done you may have
the afternoon to yourself," said Mists
Miuerva, who was now tranquilly
knitting, aud Pet9r curled up on a
cushiou near her.
Elizabeth Anu stood awhile looking
out of the window. She was unde
cided \Hjether togo down to the fence 1
aud talk with Mr. Dobbs or to >JO up
to the attic. But she saw that it was
begiuning to rain, and reflected that 1
Mr. Dobbs would not continue hoeiug, !
for he had been having rheumatic
twinges lately. So with some regret,
ihe decided in favor of the attic, for,
great as were the charms which the
latter place had for her, Mr. Dobbs'
society possessed a stronger attraction.
He told her such interesting stories
and listened to all of her confidences
so attentively, and he never told her
not to be foolish, as Mis* Minerva had
done when she had ventured to com
municate her thoughts to her.
"Don't get into mischief," Miss
Minerva called out as Elizabeth Ann
left the room. '
There was an old-fashioned trunk
of odds and euds which Miss Miuerva
bad told her alio could have to play
with, provided "she kept them tidily."
Elizabeth Anu had not yet explored
to the bottom of the trunk. She
would do so today. There were pieces
of ribbons an I lace, ends of embroi
dery, some bunches of artificial flowers
and various other articles of cast-off
finery. Under all, on the bottom of
the trunk, somethiug was folded in
white tissue paper. Elizabeth Anu
opened it and a long Bomau scarf fell
out in glistening folds. It was soft
and tine, nud of beautiful coloring;
the ends deeply fringed. Elizabeth
Ann gave au exclamation of delight.
She had a passion for rich colors, and
this was the most beautiful thing she
had ever seen. Severe plainness of
dress was part of Miss Minerva's
creed.
Elizabeth Ann smoothed out the
soft folds again and again. It would
make such a lovely sash, she thought.
How had her aunt ever thrown it
aside? !Sho passed it about her waist
and tied it in a bow with loops that
fell to the bottom of her skirt. A ray
of sunlight Hashed through the attic
window. Why, it had not rained much
after all. She would run down to the
orchard and see if Mr. Dobbs were
out. She must show that scarf. Mr.
Dobbs liked pretty things too. So
she crept quietly down stairs and
avoiding the sitting room went out of
a side door. If Miss Minerva saw
her with the scarf on, she would tell
her not to bo foolish.
Miss Minerva was still knitting
placidly and Peter purred at her feet,
when, chaucing to glance out
of tho window, she beheld a sight
which made her suddenly sit up stiff
aud erect in her chair. Mr. Dobbs
crossing the yard! He came on with
a long, rapid stride that in a few
moments brought him to the sittiug
room door, which he opeued after a
warning knock. Miss Minerva turned
her stern gray eyes upon him in cold
inquiry. He held a gay colored silk
scarf in his hand.
"Minerva, why didn't you send it
back as I asked you, and then I'd 'a'
known—and not waited aud waited as
I did for months?" he asked reproach
fully, as he looked alternately at the
scarf and Miss Minerva.
The latter made no answer, and Mr.
Dobbs went on: "Our not agreein'
on sprinklin' or 'mcrsion made no
difference. When a man asks a woman
to marry him he naturally looks for
an answer."
Miss Minerva now found voice.
"Jonathan Dobbs, will you tell mo
what all this means?" she asked,
frigidly.
He held out the scarf. "Why didn't
you send it buck, if you didn't want
me?"
Miss Minerva stared at him in ever
growing astonishment. "I don't know
what you are tulkiug about. Send it
back? I never saw the thing before."
"Is that really so, Minerva?" he
asked, eagerly.
"It's not my habit to lie," replied
Miss Minerva, icily.
"I've often had misgivings that
there was some mistake. I never had
the courage to ask you about it, for
you know how you treated me when
we met. Turning away your head
aud "
Miss Minorva lose impatiently.
"What are you talking about? What
have I to do with that silk thing?"
"Well, Minerva, I'll go over tho
whole thing. I s'pose you remember
our argument about baptizin'. I talked
the way I did just to tease you, but
you took it all for earnest. Now, I
had had it in mind for a long time to
ask you a certain question aud a day
or two after our misunderstanding I
was dowu to the city on business and
saw a lot of silk things like this iu a
shop window and the ladies was a-wear
in' them around their necks so I just
thought I'd buy one aud send it to
you and at the same time ask you that
question. I writ a little uote aud sent
it. It was tellin' you if you was will
in' to be Mrs. Dobbs to wear it to
meetiu' the next Sunday, aud if not
to send it back. But you didn't wear
it to met tin'and you didn't send it
back."
As Miss Minerva listened, her stern
face relaxed and a softened light shone
in her eyes. Before Mr. Dobbs had
finished she turned her gaze to the
window aud there was a little flush iu
her cheeks.
"I never had a note from you and I
never saw that scarf before," she said
quickly.
"I sent them by the hired man."
"That was the summer Cousiu Mattie
Simmons was with me. Likely I was
out aud he left them with her. You
know what a scatter-braiu she is."
The color had deepened in Miss
Minerva's cheeks and there was none
of her accustomed severity of manner.
She looked d wn at the scarf in Mr.
Dobbs' hand. "But where did you
get it now?" she asked suddenly.
"Elizabeth Ann found it in your
attic and
"Elizabeth Anu!" repeated Miss
Minerva.
"Never mind about her, Minerva—
Will you take it? You know the con
ditions. "
"It is a good quality of silk," she
said, quietly. "But you know, Jona
than, I'm too old to wear such gay
colors."
Mr. Dobbs laughed contentedly.
"Please yourself, Miuerva, so loug as
you take it."

How Fifth Hooks Are Made.
Boys can make a primitive pin fish
hook with a single bend, but it takes
six strokes of a little machine to turn
out the regulation fish hook of steel
wire. '1 he first stroke snips off a bit
of the wire, the second stroke forms
the loop where the line is fastened,
the thirjl hacks the other end, the
fourth flattens and bends back the
barb, the fifth makes the point, the
sixth bends the wire aud the hook
slips into a little holder, ready to bo
finished. This is done by either
japanning it or giving it a finer finish
by heating it red bet, thou cooling it

A Clever Imitation.
A certain Cleveland attorney has
two bright little children. They are
quick at imitation, and have a taleut
for making up games in which they
cleverly burlesque their elders. A
few days ago their mamma found they
were playing "Doctor." The young
est child was the patient, with head
wrapped iu a towel, aud the older the
physician, with a silk hat and a cane.
The mother, unseen by tho little oues,
listened at the doorway,
"I feels awful bad," said the pa
tient.
"We'll fix all that," said tho doctor,
huskily. "Lemme see your tongue."
Out came the tiny red indicator.
"Hum! Hum! Coated!" said the
doctor, looking very grave indeed.
Then, without a word of warning,
the skilled physician hauled off, and
gave the patient a smart slap in the
region of the ribs.
''Ouch!" cried the sufforer.
"Feel any pain there?" inquired
the doctor.
"Yes," said the patient.
"I thought so," said the healer.
"How's the other side."
"It's all right," said the pntient,
edging awav.
Thereupon the doctor produced a
small bottle filled with what looked
like either bread or mud pills, and
placed it on the table.
"Take one of these pellets," tho
physician said, "dissolved in water,
every seventeen minutes—al-ter-nit
iy-"
"How long must I take 'em?"
groaned the patient.
"Till you die," said the doctor.

Our liprtttic.
Our Bessie is just four years old,
and dearly loves Aunt Bessie, for
whom she was named. One bright
morning she danced into mamma's
room just as the suu was making rosy
clouds in the east.
"See, mamma, see!" she cried, ex
citedly, holding somethiug above her
head. "Aunt Bessie earned while I
sleeped, where is she?"
"How do you know that she has
come?" smiled mamma.
"Because I finded this on my pil
low." And she laid a wonderful doll
beside mamma.
Such a wonderful doll! Not a pink
and white one, with fluffy yellow hair
and staring blue eyes. Oh, no! Bessie
had half a dozen such in her play
room. This dearest, loveliest doll
that she had ever seen had a face as
black as a rubber shoe, which shone
like pateut leather. It had lips as red
as a crauberry, and great black eyes
that glistened like jet because of the
white around them.
"Isn't she a darling?" demanded
wee Bessie, with a loving squeeze, aud
just then Aunt Bessie herself came iu.
"Do you like your dollie, pet?" she
asked.
".She is the nicest, bu'fullest one
I ever had," answered Bessie.
So she played with Diuah all day,
and Auut Bessie made n wee night
dress for her, so she could sleep in
Bessie's little bed ;it night.
The next morning Betty, the wash
erwoman's little girl, brought n note
to Bessie's mamma. Betty stood near
the door while mamma read the uote,
looking at the new doll with longing
eyes that made Bessie' 3 little heart
ache with sympathy. Aunt Bessie
gave her some candy, but she held it
in her hand and looked at Dinah.
Bessie tried hard not to see her. Sho
turned around and saug little songs
as she slowly rocked Dinah and hugged
her tightly, but she told Auut Bessie
after Betty went away, "I could feel
her looking at Dinah, just the same,
Auntie Bess, an' we didn't have a bit
of comfit till I let her have her in her
irrns."
Thin is what Bessie did. She
kissed Dinah, laid her in Betty's arms,
then ran to mamma, hid her face, and
sobbed as if her heart would break.
Betty looked aft„r her with wonder
ing eyes, then turned Diuah slowly
around until she had seeu all about
her, from her kinky black hair to her
•tubby red boots. Then, with a dem>
sigh of satisfaction, she gave her bock
to Bessie.
"Law, miss, I jest wanted to see
her close: I wouldn't take her from
you."
Was Bessie glad? If you had been
there yju would not need to ask.
Aftei Aunt Biissie went home she
sent another doll exactly like Dinah,
and just as soon as our Bessie could
put on her hood and cloak she carried
it to Betty, and this time she laughed
when she laid it iu her arms.—Youth's
Advocate.
A Real Giant.
It was a warm summer afternoon.
Mnmiua was sewing on the porch, and
John aud Jane were playing in the
shade of a large oak tree. Hearing
the children laughiug so merrily,
mamma came to see the cause of so
much fun. Finding a large brown
beetle, they had turned him on his
back, and Jane was tickling his
stomach with a long piece of grass tc
make him- kick. It certainly was
funny to see him draw up his legs sc
quickly and so tight to his fat shiny
sides.
Mamma looked on for a moment,and
then said:
"I fear the poor little bug is not
laughing or having a good time. Be
member, he can see you; and to him
you are real giants—monsters with
immense round eyes, aud mouths as
large as a lion's. Do you wonder he
is in a great fright aud tries to run
away?"
While the children were listening
to their mother, the beetle turued
over and began running off very fast.
"Oh, do let's all follow him, and
see where he lives!" cried Jane. So
away they ran in quick pursuit,
mamma following more slowly, across
the street, over Mr. Paine's lawn next
door, to the woodpile. There he went
under a log. On lifting the log very
quietly and slowly, without disturbing
him, the children found Father Beetle,
with Mother Beetle aud all the little
Beetles crowding eagerly around him.
"I wouder," said mamma, "if he is
telling his family of what befell him
this morning—how he was seized by
terrible looking creatures, treated in
a most cruel manner, aud just escaped
with his life."
"Dear me!" said Jane, looking
sorry. "I didn't mean to scare him.
1 suppose a boy or girl is a giaut ton
bug. Better come away, John, aud
let him have a rest."
Munnua was glad to see the children
carefully replace the log and leave the
Beetle family to themselves. She
knew Jane and John wished to be
gentle and good to all living things,
that they did not mean to be cruel,but
they did not always know what would
hurt God's littlest oues.
Another day John's mother was
shocked to see him thrusting a long
bi ass rod dowu an ant-hole. Think
how terrible that must have been for
the little helpless ants! Quickly she
called him to her, and asked if he
would like to hear a story—a story
about giants. There was uothitig the
children loved so woll. So John
called Jane, and they run to the porch
and perched themselves ou the great
arms of mamma's rocking chair, each
flinging a little hot arm around her
utck, and pressing their velvet cheeks
against hers to show how they loved
and how go id they thought her. This
made their mother feel rested and
happy. Then she began:
"Once upon a time there was a
pretty little house, painted all white,
with a climbing roseviue over the
front, covered with the pinkest and
sweetest of roses. But sweeter than
the roses were the little children who
played about that house, aud very
happy they were in that dear home.
One afternoon the mother, with the
little ones, was sitting before the open
fire popping corn and roasting apples
hung by long strings from the mantel
over the fire, when suddenly a great
wooden club as long and large as a
forest tree came crashiug through the
ceiling. The whole top of the house
seemed to be tumbling in upon them I
The cruel club went crunching, pound
ing and destroying, and the family,
who a moment before had been so
happy, lay bruised aud crushed ou the
floor, aud the pretty home of which
they were so fond was ruiued. A
great giant had doue it as he passed
along."
"tJh! that is not a true story, is it,
mamma?" asked Jane, in distress.
"It couldn't be," exclaimed John,
soberly. "There are no real giants
nowadays."
"It is true there are no giants now
of that kind for my children to fear,"
answered their motiier, very gravely.
"But today my little boy was a cruel
Riant. With ,a great brass rod he
broke throngh the roof of an ants'
happy home—a house that had taken
tham weeks of hard work to build
and killed mother and babies, bruis
ing some, and crushing others, and
ruining their homes."
"O John," cried Jane, "the poor
ants!"
Then both children sat very still
and grave, thinking over mamma's
giant, story.
At last John put his head down on
his mother's shoulder and whispered
earnestly, "I forgot that time; I'm so
sorry. But I'll try to remember aftei
this," aud, if I am a giaut, I cau be a
good one, anyway caa I not,
mamma?"
And after that the children seldom
forgot. They remembered they were
giants, and tried to be good ones.
Instead of hurting or tormenting these
tiny little creatures, they learned to
love aud watch them, and now Jane
aud John kuow mauy curious aud in
teresting thing" about these insects
and their habits. —Sunday School

from different mines. Many of them
uave been worked a little. Real es
tate is sold only twenty feet below
the surface. On many of the princi
pal streets may be seen desolate-look
ing shaft houses where the mines
slosed down. Bight west of the
courthouse the Thomas mine is locat

as it was having a disastrous effect on
the courthouse.
The Developer* of Hawaii.
The commercial development of Ha
waii was beguu by the sons of the first
missionaries, and has been to a very
large extent carried on by their de
scendants. Other white settlers have
married into these families, and so to
day thosa who are connected with these
pioneers of Hawaiian civilization,
either through direct descent or by
marriage, collectively are called the
missionary element, and represent at
least three-fourths of Hawaii's indus
trial and commercial strength.
And this element in its full strength
has been literally the salvation of Ha
waii. It has been the upbuilding and
the cleansing of the islands during
times of extreme individual peril and
uncertain governmental existence. It
is the element which furnished the
ministry whose first official act was to
vote down their respective salaries a
couple of thousand dollars each. And
there is not an intelligent anti-mission
ary man on the islands who does not
know this, and realizes how weak is
the platform on which his clan stand.
