I' : CHILDREN'S COLUMN. |! The Squirrel's Arithmetic. High on the branoh of a walnut tree A bright-eyed squirrel sat. 'What was ho thinking so earnestly? And what was he looking at? The forest was green around him, The sky all over his head: Tho nest was in a hollow limb, And his children snug in bed. He was doing a problem o'er and o'er, Busily thinking was he How many nuts for his winter's store Could he bide in tho hollow tree? He sat so still in the swaying bough You might have thought bim asleep. Oh, no; ho was trying to reokon now Tho nuts the babies could out. Then suddenly bo frisked about, And down tho tree ho ran. "The best way to do, without a doubt, Is to guthor all I can." —Normal Instructor. The llutteffly. There is something really pathetic in the way a mother butterfly builds u nest for lier children. In the first place the little home where the eggs are deposited represents a great deal of sacrifice, for it is lined with several layers of down plucked from the mother's own soft body. The eggs, having been laid carefully upon this luxurious, pretty couch, are protected by an equally pretty coverlet made of the same material. These butterfly bedclothes are often arranged with an intricacy that is quite curious and per plexing. Sometimes a bed is made so that each separate delicate hair stands upright, thus, giving the entire nest the appearance of a little brush of downy fur. Then again the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny branch, and as the covering follows their course the effect resembles the bushy tail of a fox, only llie nest is more beautiful than tho "brush" of the finest fox that ever roamed over country. The building of this downy nest is the last earthly labor of the mother butterfly, for by the time it is completed her own delicate body is denuded of its natural covering, and there is nothing left for her to do but die—a sacrifice which she promptly and heroically makes in the interest of the coming butterfly generation. A Trick for TTallowe'en Follies. A game that is not entirely new and yet especially appropriate for Hal lowe'en is known as "clairvoyance." It is especially enjoyable for an even ing of mystery, because it always proves mystifying to the uninitiated. Take some particular person who understands the game to play tho role of medium, and send her from the room, an empty chair being reserved for her noxt to the person who is in collusion with her. When she leaves the room some word is determined upon by the rest of the party, for in stance "horse," and when the medium returns her task is to tell what the word is without any questions. She i-i summoned, sits down next to her friend,and while all present are seated ia n circle, with joined hands, the one who was in the room,and hence knows the word, spells it to the medium by tapping with a finger upon the palm of her hand, the number of taps being equal to the number of tho letter in the alphabet. For instance, eight taps for H, then quite a pause; fifteen taps for O, etc When the medium an nounces the word successfully, those not knowing the secret cannot under stand it at all, audit is even more myst fying when it is explained that it is based upon some peculiar mental action. —Woman's Home Companion. Start-and-Stop. Did you ever hear of any little boy named Start-and-Stop? I think he must have been first cousin to that little boy who always said, "In a min ute." This boy would start well enough when culled or told to do a thing, but he was sure to stop again until some one would say, "Hurry up!" Then he would goon until —he stopped,aud must be started afresh. So every body has got to calling him "Start and-Stop." Of course he doesn't like it at all. Ho would much rather bo called his own name, which is a very pretty one, but I'd rather not tell it to you until he gets over this bad habit, and he will cure it, I know, if ho once realizes what a disagreeable habit it is. The other day his mamma went to visit hi-i school, and almost the first words his teacher said to her were: "Can you tell me how to make your little boy hurry up? He is a very good, liice-manuered little boy, and he learns easily and does his work very nicely, only he doesn't goon with it. He stops every little while, aud if I dou't speak to him he won't get done in time. -I thought perhaps you have found some way to deal with "this fault of his. It is really the only one I find in him." "I know," sighed his mamma, "and I hoped you might find a cure for it. We have tried everything we can think of at home, to no purpose." The other morning his uncle saw him sitting over his clothes all in a huddle, dreaming of something, in stead <>f putting them on. fcl'll give you a dime," he said, "if are dressed in fifteen minutes." ■?he time was just up when he pres jßed himself, not only all dressed, hfitwasliel, combed, and teeth aud hoes brushed. "Now that shows," his uncle said, ihe handed him the money, "that >u can do things in the proper length 112 time. Don't you think you ought odo it every time, to please your good, kind papa and mamma?" Start-and-Stop said he knew he should, and he would try, and Ido hope he will succeed, and will never give any occasion to be called by that name Again. Bnt if any of oar readeri know a cure for this bad fault, I hop« they will send it to be published foi the benefit of all the Start-and-Stop* in the country.—Youth's Companion Onr Admiral'* Career. Tndor Jenks tells in the St. Nicho las the story of Admiral Dewey's bril liant career. Congress introdaoed the rank of admiral in 1861 for David Glasgow Farragut, whose father was a Span iard. David Dixon Porter was thi second, George Dewey is our third admiral. George Dewey was born ir Montpelier, Vermont, the day aftei Christmas in 1837, the year Ericsson, of "Monitor" fame, first applied the screw-propellors to steamships; and yet the great improvement came sc slowly into use that the first vessel or which Dewey, at the age of twenty five, served as a lieutenant was a side wheeler. The Deweya are of English descent, aud George's father was a country doctor, who, in 1825, married Marj Perrin. There were four children— three boys, George being the third, and a daughter, the youngest. The stories told of George's boyhood shofl him to have been a plucky and manlj little youngster, whom his father called his "little hero." He was wiry, ac tive, fond of "Robinson Crusoe," and never afraid of a fight for good cause. He weut barefoot, gave theatrical shows in the barn, and was altogetliei tho sort of boy that boys like —such a nice little chap as may be found in nearly every schoolhoiise in the land. At fifteen he went to the Norwich Military academy, aud while there de cided to enter Annapolis, winning hie father's consent with difficulty. En tering the Naval academy at seven teen, Dewey graduated in 1858, stan ding fifth in a class of fourteen. He was popular, and au especially good swimmer aud athlete. For two years he cruised as a midshipman in the Mediterranean, and upou his returc passed his examination with credit, and was commissioned lieutenant. When tho civil war began, Dewey was appointed first lieutenant on th« United States steamer Mississippi, o side-wheeler—oue of the oldest vos sels in the navy—commanded by Cap tain Melancthon Sm th. This vessel was part of Farragut's Gulf squadron, and was hotly eugaged in opening thf Mississippi river and taking New Or leans in 18G2. Dewey stood on the bridge during the fight with Forts Jackson and St. Philip—when the Uniou and Confederate gunners wer" so near that they could exchang words—and the young officer was con spicuous for his cool bravery and effi cient service. On the wny up the river, Dewey's vessel drove ashore and destroyed the Confederate ram Manassas. Farragut afterward said to Dewey's father: "Sir, your son George is a worthy and a brave officer. He has an honor able record, and some day will mal " his own mark." But Farragut would have been amazed if he <ould have known that, of all the officers of the navy, this young officer would be secoud to suc ceed bim as admiral of the navy, and would wiu his promotion in battle with the Spaniards,the countrymen of Far ragut's father. Tho next year brought disaster to the Mississippi. She grounded dur ing the battle at Port Hudson, and was burned. Dewey was active in taking off the crew and afterward escaped with the loss, it is said, of his coat-tails! The young lieutenant continued in active service, and in the fights with Fort Fisher, in 1864 and 1865, showed his cleverness by going so close to the shore in the Colorado that the enemy's shot weut over the vessel. In March, 1865, Dewey was ap pointed lieutenant commander. After the civil war, Dewey was in service on the Keai sarge aud the Colo rado and in 1867 he married Miss Susan Goodwin, daughter of a gover nor of New Hampshire. To pass rapidly over the peaceful years that follow,it will suffice to say that Dewey was at the Naval academy till 1870, when he took command of the Narra gansett; in 1875 he was appointed commander, and served on the light house board; in 1882 he was in the Asiatic squadron commanding the .Tuanitu thus acquiring his first knowledge of Eastern waters—and two years later became captain of the Dol phin, aud afterward of tho Peusacola in the European squadron. His subsequent service included work on the lighthouse board and the bureau of equipment; aud as commo dore he was head of the board of in spection and survey. It is not strange that tho admiral is a man thoroughly equipped, after so long a service in p?ace and war. In November, 1897, his health not being good, Dewey asked to bo as signed to pea service, and was seut to command our squadron in the East, aud was at Hongkong when the war with Spain began. The story of his brilliant achievement at Manila is too recent to need present rehearsal. On March 3, 1899, he was made admiral of the navy. Aud the admiral is the same modest, capable officer as before all these glories. He said good-naturedly, not long ago, to a correspondent: "It's hard business, this being a hero." MolAHHe* aft Cattle Food. Mules, horses, bogs, nudcattlo that have been fed all the can molasses that they would consume, and this during over four years in Louisiana, have shown the most satisfactory re sults from the consumption of such feed. All stock that consume molasses seem to like.it and it proved to be an extremely effective afld nutritious food.— The Louivi&ua Planter, MINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES, Hlmpl. Kennedy for a Sty. It is claimed that the following recipe will cure a sty: Make a ourd by mixiug a small pinoh of powdered alum with the white of an egg. Place between two pieces of soft lawn and biud over the eye before going to bed. The application may have to be re peated, but the treatment is sure to be successful. Saece.e in Growing Fern*. To keep table ferns thrifty put them in the window out of the suu every morniug.and once a week they should be placed in a sink and sprayed thor oughly with water. The earth in the pots should be kept damp, but water should not be allowed stand in the saucers. One woman who is success ful in growing ferus tills her station ary washtub with hot water and lets it run out, leaving the tub full of steam. Then, putting in the stopper, she sets her jars of ferns in the tub and, closing the cover, allows them to remain there all night. Fantaatic Shades for Lamp*. A golf bonnet of flowered silk shirred on wires aud trimmed at the edge with lnce is the latest tiling in lamp shades. There are now shades orna mented with painted faces and wreaths or fasnion pictures and sporting prints of ye olden time upon a vellum back ground. The almost forgotten Parian porce lain and octugou shaped cameo shales are again comiug in vogue. "iiow do you like our new lamp shade?" said a young womau to a man caller receutly. After a prolonged stare at the pretty silk and lace con trivance, ho said: "The last time I saw it I was danciug with it." It had been cleverly constructed from a pink silk la.:e trimmed ball gowu. A Few Kitchen Economic*. After a broth has been skillfully 3kimmed and still little atoms of grease appear ou the surface, lay a piece of clean brown paper over the top, and the grease will cliug to it. Often only the whites of eggs are required for immediate use. The yolks may be kept some time if they are put into a small cup, covered with a little cold water, aud kept in a cool place. A loaf of cake that has got stale aud dry, may be freshened so as to Beem newly baked by putting it in a tin, covoriug the tin with another pun, A in! leaving the whole in a warm oven about tweuty minutes. To boil meat so as to retain the juices aud soluble salts, and cook it sufficiently, it should bo plunged into boiling water aud boiled rapidly for abuiit teu minutes. After the fust cooking, the kettlo must be pushed over to the back of the tire, where its contents will simmer gently. This tends to coagulate the outer riud of the meat so that the juices cannot escape. If meat bo treated in this manner, the inside will be found juicy and tender, but if the mea' is allowed to boil it will be found hard and chippy. When small pieces of piecrust nre loft from making pies, instead of form ing them into tarts, as is usually done, secure some round hardwood sticks, about four inches long, and, after tho pieces of crusts are rolled out thiu, cut thorn into narrow strips, with a jaggered iron, flour the sticks and roll t e strips arouud them, let ting one edge drop over the other. Place these on a tin, and putin a hot oven to bake. When the crust has got partly cool, slide the stick out. When serving, till the places with jelly, whipped cream, or a marmalade, and the family will bo delighted with a new dish. Recipes.

Blaine was nonplussed -was while he was Seoretary of State. One of the applicants for a consulate in Japan was the late Samuel Kimberley, of Baltimore, who died in the service in Central Amerioa. After he had pre sented his credentials Mr. Blaine said: "I should like to appoint you, Mr. Kimberley, but I have made it a rule to recommend no one who does not speak the language of the country to tvhioh he is sent. Do you speak Jap anese?" "Cert-t-tinly, Mr. Blaine," stam mered Mr. Kimberley. "A-a-ask me i-s-something in J-J-Japanese and I'll a-a-a-nswer you." Mr. Blaine hadn't a word to say, but the Japanese post went to another man, all the same, and Kimberley went to Central America. Another story is told of Kimberley equally creditable to his nimble wit. One day he met a young woman, who threw her arms impulsively around his neck and kissed him. Seeing her mistake, she drew back and angrily asked: "Aren't you Mr. Jones?" "N-n-no, madam," replied Kimber ley, bowing; "I'm n-n-not, but I w w-wish to thunder I w-w-w-was." Saturday Evening Post.
