One day a naturalist lay motion less on a fallen log in the forest, and 1 silently watched an animal at play ( >n the grass near by. This was a large, brown-backed mouse —a mead ow mouse, that had come out from his home under the log, and, when tired of play, had sat up to make his toilet. Using his forepaws as hands, the mouse combed the white fur on his breast, and licked himself smooth and slick. Satisfied at length with his ap pearance, lie began to search for food. He did not have far togo, for a few stalks of wheat grew among the thick weeds near at hand. The mouse was so large that he could probably have bent the stalk down and brought the grain within his reach. If not, he could certainly have climbed the stalk. He did not try either of these plans, however, for these were not his ways. Sitting up very straight, he bit through the stalk as high up as he could reach. The weeds were so thick that the straw could not fall its full length, and the freshly cut end set tled down upon the ground, with the straw still erect and the grain out of reach. The mouse again bit the straw in two. and again the upper portion settled down. In this way he bit off five lengths of straw before he could bring the grain within reach of his paws." These forepaws were very skil ful little hands, and he deftly husked a grain and ate it, sitting erect, and holding it to his mouth as naturally as a boy would hold an apple.—Chris tian Uplook. A Plucky Ferry Mnld. Young in years, but full of vigor and buoyancy of youth, pretty Bertha Walz, a girl of 16, has a career as a ferry maid in the Ohio river that for the novelty of its feature is rarely surpassed. > For months the girl had been the sole support of her mother, younger sister, and brother. Week in and week out, unaided and alone, she had plied her big ferry skiff back and forth across the Ohio to secure means for providing for her helpless mother and sister. Bertha lives with her mother in an old, but neat appearing house-boat, on the banks of the Ohio river, near the Pressed Steel Car Company's works, in Lower Allegheny. This boat has been her home for the past six years. The idea of running a regular ferry came to her through the suggestions of mill men who crossed the river at this point to the McKees Rocks side to and from their work in the big mills. Partly through the efforts of gener ous contributors a skiff was procured and the girl entered upon a new ca reer. She found her task rather ar duous at first, and her fair young hands were covered with many a blister at the end of a day's toil. But soon the muscles of her arms bade fair to rival those of the crack oars man of a varsity crew. Now she thinks nothing of rowing six or eight stalwart men over the river on a single trip. Some days she makes as many as 40 trips, and has been known to take in as much as $3 a day is the result of her toil. The widespread popularity of her ferry, however, aroused the ire of less favored ferrymen living in shanty boats near by. First, her best skiff was stolen, and later a new one was turned loose on the river. Finally, she was not permitted to land her skiff on the McKees Rocks shore nt the large landing, but was made to run her boat in at some obscure point. Considerable trouble arose over the ownership and use of a pair of wood en steps leading down the river em bankment to the shore. The climax was reached a few nights ago. Richard Griffeths, a ferry man, tried to lay violent hands on her. Only the timely appearance of a mill man and the presence of her faithful dog, which usually accompanies her Tor protection, saved her from serious injury at his hands. As a result, suit was promptly entered against Grif feths on a charge of disorderly con duct before Alderman Lynch. At the hearing Griffeths was fined $lO and costs or 20 days in jail. The steps claimed by Griffeths as personal prop erty were declared to be government property, and it was decreed that the fair prosecutor was fully entitled to their use.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele graph. What Our Native Bird* Do for Man. It has been proved by the work of the Audubon society and by the re search of Mr. R. H. Forbush,ornitholo gist of the Massachusetts state board of agriculture, that, much as humans claim to love the trees and the for ests, the birds love them even more and are in a position to do more di rect good in their preservation than are we. Take, for Instance, the fact that the stomach of one yellow-billed cuckoo shot at 0 o'clock in the morn- I Ing contained the partially digested remains of 43 tent caterpillars, and ; gee If you have in your acquaintance a person who would be likely to have ' destroyed ao niauy pests by that hour In the morning. Then take into con sideration, says the Boston Tran-, script, the fact revealed by Mr. For bush that there are 46 of our native birds that feed from preference on the gypsy moth and it is easy to compute the good work these birds will do if given a chance —and it's not costing the commonwealth so much by a good round sum to pro tect them as did the great sham battle the gypsy-moth commission put up against that nuisance. Most of these birds that are so fond of gypsy moth diet are also partial to the brown-tail moth caterpillar, the can ker worm and all the rest of the worms and insects that take the beauty out of trees and forests. It is acknowledged, of course, by the most ardent advocates of bird protec tion, that blue-jays prey on the nests of other birds, that the grosbeaks and purple finches eat buds and blossoms, that a good many of the birds eat fruit and the buds of trees, and that wood peckers do some damage to the trunks of the trees. Yet all these sins charged up to their credit are as nothing when weighed in the balance with their beneficent ministrations. It is urged that nesting boxes and boxes also which may be used foi winter quarters, placed about in the woods and on the edge of the woods, will do a great deal to prevent harm coming to them from cats or from ex posure to extreme cold weather. Then, this much accomplished, it would be a simple matter and not an expensive one for a community to undertake to supply them with grain or food of some sort when the snow covers the ground and the twigs. Other foes to the birds —the gunners and the mis chievous boys—must also be dealt with by, say, one part of moral sua sion to nine of rigid legislation, and a long life and a useful one may be assured the birds. A Story of Three Doe*. Mary Dameron tells in St. Nicholas a story of three dogs. The other (lay, she says, I was walking from the city to the hospital. It is a long walk, and I was alone. Just as I had cleared the city, and was climbing a wearisome hill, a dog came walking towards me. He had a coat of white-and-brown shaggy hair, clean, and soft as silk. He did not hesitate, but came right up to me. and. stand ing on his hind feet, put two soft paws up to my waist, and looked into my face as if he would say, "Good I day! I don't know who you are, but I want you to love me. and oh, 1 know you will! Everybody does. I am sure the world must be full of love. What deep, expressive brown eyes he had. They seemed to speak, al though he did not utter a sound. 1 patted his head, and he rested against me with the confidence of a trusting child. I stood a moment and patted him. He seemed to expect it. Present ly I bade him good-by, and walked on. It was not long before I met another dog. He was a little black fellow, and his small eyes fairly danced with mirth as they -peeked out from be neath their hairy lids. He was evi dently desirous of play. He darted toward me, and circled round me, bouncing, and wagging his tail. He was soon off to the road again. 1 threw up my gloved hand, and called, "Come, little doggy!" He came, only to be off again like a flash, looking back every moment. as be ran, as if to say, "What are you walking at that snail's pace for? You'll never catch me in the world!" He did not come to me again. I think he was disgusted. So I walked on. It was some moments before I saw another dog, but just as I was turn ing into the broad, fir-bordered ave nue leading to the hospital, I spied o big, spotted fellow trotting toward me As he neared me. he looked up with a forbidding eye, and began to tuck his tail close to his hind legs. He came on, and as he was passing 1 grasped a fold of my dress, which was dragging on the ground. My motion seemed to frighten him. for with a bound, he commenced to run down the road. I looked back, and he stop ped at some distance, and seemed to watch me, probably to see if I had meant to strike him. "I'll learn something about the home life of these dogs," I said tc myself. I found that the brown-spotted dog was called "Pete." He was tlft pet of an invalid. She could not jump, and frisk, and play; she could only love him, and he had learned to be a gentle, loving little dog. The little black fellow was "Bounce." He was the pet of a family of boys and girls. He played with them all day long, and at night he Was put to sleep in a nice warm bed The last dog was "Dick." Pool Dick! He belonged to a rough, un kind family. He was not half fed, and feared to put his head in at his mas ter's door, for fear of a kick. At night he sought shelter from the cold and snow anywhere he could find it When 1 met him he was doubtless returning from the hospital back yard, where good Christine, the cook, is ready to feed all the stray dogs and cats that come to her. And such dogs as poor Dick are quick to find any body with a kind heart like Chris tine's. So I have begun to think dogs are like looking-glasses, reflecting the manners of their masters in theli own. If ! had a dog I'd want Mm to be like Pete, but if I were a boy or girl I'd want him to be like Bounce. ltrviilutiuna Fre»li Kv«i\v Hour. The South American stretched him self, yawned, and sat up.

To keep the tablecloths in good e n dition, pour boiling water upon stains from fruit or coffee as soon as the table is cleared; do not wait until the weekly wash day. Some housekeepers drop a pinch of salt on a stain as soon as it is made and this tends to its eradication. A suggestion for preserv ing the length of days of table linon is to avoid folding the tablecloth in the same creases every time it is laun dered. Instead .of always having the centre crease exactly in the middle ol the cloth, move it occasionally an inch or so to either side. When it is laid the crease will, of course, be placed directly in the centre of the table and the same threads in the edge will not always rest upon the edge of the tablo and as a result the wear will not coma in the same place. Material for Kauli Curtain*. The material from which to con struct sash cut tains is a problem to the woman who numbers several smokers among the members of her household, for there is nothing which so quickly discolors and retains the odor of smoke as do these necessary window draperies. Where the expense of sending handsome lace curtains to cleaner's three or four times dur ing the season must be considered, the question is one to tax the ingenuity of the cleverest housekeeper whose hob by is cleanliness, which is certainly a most expensive luxury. A woman of artistic instincts, who dislikes the stiff starchienss of Swiss or imitation laces, has settled the problem to her own satisfaction by manufacturing her sash curtains out of a good quality of cheese-cloth. They fall in soft folds, and when ruffled along the sides and end have a very good appearance, while the easy way in which they can bo laundered is a joy to her cleanly soul. They need only to be putin the regu lar wash and ironed while still a trifle damp.—New York Post. The Influence of Color. A woman who believes strongly in the unconscious influence of color de clares she would never have a room decorated in red, which is only good, she claims, to counteract the bad effects of blue, but even in that cast pink is preferable. Statng her ob jection. but without explaining why. to the artist with whom she was ad vising about the decoration of liei home, he at once replied that her dis like was but natural, as she was ol a brunette type, and of course greens and yellows were a much more fitting background for her beauty. He furth er added that it was the cold beauty of the blonde which was enhanced by the warmth of red surroundings. Without ever having made a study ol this branch of art, some women in stinctively choose only the coloring suited to their style, carrying it even so far as to show a decided preference for china of the tones to blend with their complexions; few brunettes, for nstance, will admire the brilliant ?hades of turquoise blue with which ?hina is docorated. but whole dinner 3ets of it are bought by blondes.
