Bath and Her "Taler" Baby—A Boy'a Push and a Boy'a Poond —ilia Mother'* Valentine. There was once a little girl named Ruth who had a great many dolls. One day her father brought her a new one, the funniest of them all. It was a big potato that had a head, a neck aud a body, lu the head were two eyes and a little hump between for a nose. Wasn't Ruth delighted? She began right away to dress her "tater baby." First she stuck In sticks for arms; then she put on a blue check dress and tied on a blue knit cape and a blue bonnet. She found a shoe box, and brother Ned helped her make a carriage out of it lie tied a string to it and put spools underneath. Then the new dolly went to ride. Every night Ruth put her baby into the closet in her bedroom. Sometimes she put it out on the piaz za roof to get an airing and tied the string to a blind, that the carriage could not slip down. Once she forgot and left her baby out on the roof all night. When morning came, she went to the window and looked out, but there was no carriage antWio dolly. Then she ran down stairs and out of doors as quickly as she could. There on the ground lay the poor baby, but Its head was broken quite oft. Ruth caught it up aud ran iu crying. She did nut stop crying until Ned stuck the head on with a stick and tied it with a string to hold it ou tight; then "the tater baby" looked almost as good as new. But one day a still worse thing hap pened. Ruth was taken sick, and the new dolly was put into the closet and left there a long, long time. When Ruth got better, she thought of her ba by and went to get it. Her mother hoard a loud scream aud hurried up stairs to see what was the matter. There stood Uuth» Bobbing as if her heart Would break. "What has happened, my child?" said her mother. "Oh, oh!" sobbed Ruth. "Ned has spoiled my baby!" "Where is it? And what has lie done?" "In the closet He's stuck sticks all over it, .-.ml it is spoiled." Her mother went to the closet, took up the doll}*, and at the funny sight that met her eyes she could uot help laughing. Ruth looked at her in wonder and stopped crying. "Why, Rutliie, Ned has not touched your dolly! It has sprouted!" said her mother. And, sure euough, it had. There was a long sprout ou the end of its nose and two were coming out of the eyes. They were sticking out of the holes iu the bonnet and the cape and hanging down below the dress. Ruth did not like it at all. She de clared that she did not want a dolly that would do like that, so one day "the tater baby" was taken out of doors and put into the ground, where it grew and in time became a big green potato plant.—Favorite. A Boy'i I'tmli nnd a Boy's I'onntl. A boy at the launching of a ship once surprised every one by his quick wit aud energy. If you have witnessed such a very interesting operation you will remember that the vessel is ex pected to run along so called "ways" Into the water, but this particular ves sel stuck on the ways. People were disappointed. The boy ran up to the vessel and began to push. I'eople looking on laughed at him. The boy was indignant. "I can push my pound!" he oaid. To the surprise of everybody the vessel moved off. A boy's push aud a boy's pound! There is a world of meaning in it. Everybody has an Influence and the "everybody" includes all boys, and there are many movements in this world which, "stuck on tlio ways," only need a little help, a kindly push, a push of a pound's force, to insure success. ' It is so at home. There Is a new car pet to be bought, there are new chairs to be purchased, there is a summer holiday to be given to mother, and the money for these things might be had, but is not forthcoming, because a little more enthusiasm is needed in the rais ing of It. A boy's spirit, a boy's push, will come in here powerfully. Many ships get "stuck on the ways" at home All because the enthusiasm of some one is not in the last push.

On j the middle linger of his right hand was ; a heavy gold ring In which was set a , diamond of unusual brilliancy. It was | the lirst thing one noticed about the 1 man. It shone and sparkled in quite a J wonderful way. The hotel clerk was ■ interested in him and his gem and elic j ited liis story. "My name is Lee—Charles Lee," said | the man."l am from Savannah. This j ring I have worn ou my finger for 20 years. It is no wonder you are inter ested iu it. I believe it is oue of the liuest diamonds iu Georgia. I showed it to a jeweler awhile ago, aud he of fered me SIO,OOO for it. So you see it is as valuable as it looks. There have been scores of people who have asked me about it, but I have very seldom told the story which it recalls. I can not tell its entire history, and what I don't know is very likely more inter esting than what I do. "When I was a boy, I lived with my uncle down ou a Georgia plantation. One day, while prowling through the garret of the big house, I found a trunk which was unlocked. I opened it. It was filled with old laces and women's clothes of a fashion of years before. Down toward the bottom I saw a small jewel case. Inside I fouud this stone. I left it there and went down stairs and asked my uncle about it. He wouldn't believe my story. He went up to the garret to see for him self. and he was a surprised man when he came down again. Several days lat er he told me all about it. "My uncle was an old man theu, but when he was a boy he had been a sail or and had been all over the world. When he was on board ship, he made friends with a man named Galvin. Galvln was a wayward sort of man and uot to be depended upon. Once the ship touched at Havre, and he ran away. My uncle did not see him again for 15 years. Then, one day, a broken down man, looking much older than he really was, came to the old Georgia homestead. "My uncle had a long talk with him in the library. The man was Galvin. He said he was being followed by the police for-implication in some big rob bery, and he wanted my uncle to pro tect him. He had been such a good friend to my uncle in former days that my uncle did not have the heart to turn him away. He gave the inau a home for several weeks. By that time the robbery had been almost forgotten, and Galvin went away. Before he went he gave my uncle this stone. 'I picked it up somewhere,' he said. 'I don't know what it's worth, but I want you to take it for what you've done for me.' "So my uncle kept it. He did not know its value, lie laid it away some where and forgot all about it. He was not particularly fond of jewels aud never wore them himself. "Years after that he received a letter written in a large, sprawling hand. It was from Galvin. lie had sent it from some place in Kansas, which was then out in the wild west. lie wrote that he was sick and likely to die aud had repented of his crimes. And he wrote the interesting information that he had stolen the diamond from a big house iu I.ondon, where he had fallen in with a gang of housebreakers. "It had been stolen with the other jewels of a wealthy young woman who was about to be married. Her name was Vincent. He asked my uncle to make a search for the young woman, and if he ever succeeded in finding her to return to her the diamond with 'Galvin's compliments.' "My uncle happened to be iu London on a pleasure trip two years later, and he spent several days trying to find the young woman. He searched through old police records and did everything In his power, but it was a hopeless task. He got trace at last of a young woman who had married au army offi cer and who had died In India soon after her marriage, and there were cer tain bits of information which led him to believe this might be the person he wanted. But he was unable to find anything more about her. He could find none of her friends or relatives. "Sotu he had to leave London, aud the s; ireh for the missing Miss Vin cent \ as never continued. If ever Igo to Lr idon, I think I will make a try at it lyself, just for curiosity. It is 50 year ago that the stone was stolen, and dou't suppose I would have any sucr ss. ouii u woiiiu oe an interest ing earcb, and if I did succeed what a st- ; it might bring to light. If the ov-er of the ring is alive, she must be at least 70 years old. Iu ten years from now there will uot be a chance left of success. "To tell the truth, I have been glad at times that the owner never was found, for I would hate to part with a SIO,OOO diamond. "My uncle was always careless about things of that sort, and he lost track of It. He had not been able to find it un til years later, when I made the discov ery in the trunk. Shortly before he died, some years ago, ue gave me stone to me on the condition that I would return it to the rightful owner if she should ever be found. I have worn it ever since."—Exchange.

Iy happy, and in the other, Belgium, the queen Is slowly but surely fading away because of a broken heart. Belgium's queen has surely had enough of trouble to break down any woman, royal or commoner. Not the least of her sorrows is the profligacy of her husband. From one end of Europe to the other is the name of Leopold carried as that of a man who frequents from choice the lowest music halls of the continent. He is the worst of Eu rope's royal profligates, and no regard for the feelings of his wifo hinders him in his evil courses. Fate has hardly treated Marie Ilen riette in the matter of children.

PAIGN OF THE CIVIL WAR. It Carried I'anie anil t'onfualon Into Oliio and Indiana, but Resulted In \o Benefit Whatever to the Confed erate ('mine, "Cavalry riding," said the major, "is reciting, but very exhausting business. ig distance raids in an enemy's lv :itry can be made only where there i: -ochl many horses. John Morgan eoul I never have made his raid through Indiana anil Ohio In ISO 3 if the i unties raided had not been well supplied with the best horses in the west. When lie started from the Cum berland river, in east Tennessee, Mor gan believed that he would sweep everything before him and that, if properly supported, he would capture Cincinnati. "Morgan, with a well organized bri gade of cavalry 4,000 strong, swept northward from the Cumberland river through Kentucky to the Ohio river at Braudeuberg, 40 miles below Louis ville. There he captured two steam boats, crossed the river, swept through southern Indiana, galloped around Cin cinnati, not more than ten miles from the city, and then moved eastward, expecting to cross the Ohio river at Buflington, but was driven back, made another attempt at Wellsville, but was Anally captured at New Lisbon. "This was the most remarkable raid of the war. It carried panic and con fusion into Ohio and Indiana, but in results it was of no benefit whatever to the Confederate cause. Morgan be lieved that there would be an uprising in the Confederate interest in Ken tucky. There was not. He believed that the peace Democrats in Ohio would give him at least secret support, but when liis men stole the horses of the peace Democrats the latter joined the rauks of Morgan's pursuers, and before the raid was half over the whole state was aroused, and men who had taken no interest in the war previous to that time shouldered their j squirrel rifles to fight the raiders who were stealing their horses and carry ing the horrors of war to their very doors. "There was hard riding all the time for Morgan's men. They left behind them a wreckage of broken down horses. They kept ahead of their Un ion pursuers simply because they stole horses right and left and remounted j the men, but they were finally captur- j ed, and that fall Ohio gave the war party the largest majority in the his- j tory of the state up to that time. In fact, the Morgan raid, by carryiug the i war into the peaceful districts of In- , diana and Ohio, provoked a furious feeling of resentment, which influ- i enced people for 20 years. "The comedy of the raid was fur- ; nished by the people of the districts j w holly unused to war, wholly unpre pared for it and with exaggerated , ideas of the ferocity of Morgan's men. For two weeks it was only necessary i for some mischievous boy to shout, 'Morgan is coming!' in any village in central or southern Ohio to create a i panic. I know that many of the raiders after Morgan got no rest night or day, slept in the saddle, and not a few of them fell off their horses in sleep. At the end of the raid they were as ex hausted as Morgan's men, but with a more difficult task to perform they never received half the praise given to the raiders. "I remember," continued the major, "one case in which a woman 6tabled her carriage horses in the parlor for two days to keep them out of Mor gan's hands. I saw Morgan's men ride by that house and saw some of them stop to listen at the unusual sound of horses' feet on a carpeted tloor, but the parlor horses were not disturbed. Some of our neighbors drove their horses, cattle and sheep 30 miles into the in terior and were away from home a week. Morgan's men looted right and left, and some of them had bolts of calico strapped to their saddles when they were captured. "Morgan, it must be remembered, made his whole raid with artillery and a wagon train, but he was not iu Ohio to tight, and he demonstrated at once the ease with which a peaceful district may be invaded by a mobile column aud at the same time the peril involv ed iu such a venture. In a few days 50,000 militiamen were in the field agaiust him. At first he played with these green soldiers, but at last they hung on his fiauks, eager for fight as bulldogs. In the last days llobson's men, who had followed Morgan for hundreds of miles through three states, closed in on their old enemies with a gieefulness that exceeded anything of Uie kind 1 ever saw in the army, and Judah's men, closing in on the other side, settled the fate of the raiders. "Morgan's men knew by the maneu vering and the firing when they were faced by trained soldiers, and the first charge of the Union cavalry had in it the impetus of delayed vengeance. The Unionists who rode in that charge had old scores to settle, and Morgan's tired veterans were overwhelmed. After Morgan hail escaped from the peniten tiary at Columbus and had reorganized his command and was again raiding Kentucky hualreds of Union soldiers on their way home for discharge left their trains and joined in the pursuit simply to get a crack at the old raider, and Morgan knew when their rifles spoke that he was up against the real thing."

Hits of Originality in llatu The Ki'llCU ot the Hose on Coiffure and EvenlnK fiown—l'retty Jabots and Fluffy Tnlie Knots. Fashions have settled iuto a certain well regulated state adverse to any radical changes, as is to be expected at this season. Nevertheless the tradi tional spice of dress manifests itself in caprices and conceits, whose charming unexpectedness speaks of the sparkling fauey of the Parisian modistes. From Paris comes the tale of new white CHAPEAU FT SHADES OF MAtTVE. cloth toques and hats in rough frieze, trimmed with flowers and a goid bow on one side. Two fancies of the Rue do la Paix by their daring and original ity serve to arouse the weary devotees of fashion to renewed interest. One is a marvelous confection of felt, velvet, ribbon and flowers, all carried out iu shades of mauve; the other a dashing picture hat of black felt, with long : black plume and bow of gold gauze ribbon. And just here may be sung the glo ries of the rose, and especially the gold rose. In white and colors come the roses. One rose may rest upon the forehead, a very chic style; a single blossom may be tucked daiutlly in be hind the ear, or a woman may be a veritable queen of roses, with half a dozen arranged at fancy. To be bien coiffe and, for the most part, elaborate ly coiffe, is one of fashion's most strict requirements this season, and the rose Is the freshest frill to that end which the mysterious power that makes all modes has launched for a long time. It Is almost an old tale to speak of the large white ribbon bows, the pink or blue bows, the velvet bows and the dainty little scarfs of black or white silk muslin twisted in waving tresses. Wreaths of silk or velvet leaves there are iu the clever ornaments of the mil liners and of silver in the costlier achievements of the jewelers. These necessitate a coil low at the neck, and the ornament emulates a Greek wreath. For ball dresses chiffon and tulle roses are the rage, and these are some times arranged ns a border to the skirt, which is of chiffon, mousseline de soie, crepe de chine or a new kind of rather heavy crape. Surely Dame Fashion never studies the question of expendi ture, for the long skirts of today are subject to utter destruction iu the ball room. Evening skirts, even for danc ing, are worn longer than ever. Their only amelioration lies iu the multifa rious flounces with which these long skirts are bordered from a little below the knee to the liem, inside and outside, and these keep the skirt out from the feet and prevent utter destruction. A worn waist can be rejuvenated somewhat by a lace bolero or one of the pretty jabots or fluffy tulle bows, of which It would be hard to have too many. These can be made of odds or ends of lace. Nothing lends such an effect of freshness to tho neat tailor made frock, which lias perhaps seen better days, as the addition of a tulle bow, and if oue has uot the Parisian fa better days, as the addition of a tulle Into a "noeud" trifles of this sort are to be found in all the shops. Furs, up to midwinter and past, hardly had their BLACK PICTURE HAT WITH GOLD BAND. opportunity on account of mild weath er, although worn in profusion as boas, collarettes and various neck pieces. But cold weather briugs out the handsome fur wraps, the new blouse, the popular short jacket and the long coat of broad tail, I'ersian lamb or sealskin, with re vers anil collar of a contrasting hue. It may be safely predicted that the first note of change in the early spring rasllious win ue Siruca IU me uueiaiiuu of the sleeve. This seems destined to become less tight, and already there is u distinct tendency to a return to more feuerous proportions.

Plato mi.\ "l.ike ■nding owls to Ath ens, ns the proverb goes," referring to the j fact that this bird 01 I'allas Athene was | the emblem of the city, which was tho home of science and art. According to j Payne Knight, an o\ I was chosen as the emblem of the wise goddess because it is j "a bird that seem ; to surpass all other j creatures in aciitencss of organic pereep- | tion, its eyes being calculated to observe ! objects that to all others are enveloped in darkness, its ear to hear sounds dis- | tinetly and its nostrils to discriminate effluvia with such nicety that it has been deemed prophetic from discovering the putridity of death even in the first stages of disease." It is highly probable that ! "the delicate sense of smell possessed by j the owl lies at the root of this supersti tion." In certain places it is believed that the 1 owl will spit poison on those that incur its ill favor, and the only possible cure is ; for the poisoned one to bathe at midnight j when the moon is full on"the eve of the i dead." Among some Indian tribes the j owl is known as the "death bird," and if an Indian hears its call and cails out in | return and the «r vl fails to answer he considers himself doomed to die within the year. I'ndor.btedly all the North American Indians look on the owl as an uncanny creatine, and some tribes be lieve that medicine men, conjurers and priests are transformed at their death : nto these birds of the night. The Paw nees hold that an owl can give a man power to see at night, and owls are held in as much reverence as hawks and ea gles because, like these, they kill their prey and so in some degree typify success in war. Owl's feathers are worn in con nection with those of hawks and eagles by Indian warriors.

One may keep one's rooms swept with ] that fragrance of violets all winter by ! setting little bowls of powdered orris root i about in them. The orris root should be j renewed once or twice a month and the bowls washed whenever it is changed.

By hanging sachets or orris root in the wardrobes one's garments will be given an evasive and charming fragrance.

Danville Steiim Laundry, No. 20 Cana St Lore and Kase, Prop I I GRAFTING STONE f-RUITS. 1 A Jersey (irowep'n New Metuod anil the Instrument Ined. At a meeting of the New Jersey Plate I Horticultural society Mr. Martin Ernst, a very successful fruit grower, intro duced a method of grafting which was new to most of those present. lie said: When you cut a twig from a tree ' (holding u]> a cut portion l\-> inches through), if it does uot heal over in one season, it causes the root to rot. The damage done to a tree by cleft graftiug seldom heals perfectly tlie first season and results often ia decay setting in. In my method I use this little instru ment, which lias its cutting portion of V shape attached to a shank with a I wooden handle. I then take a twig, cut the top off, leaving the stock about an inch through, then on the side of the stock I cut out with my instrument a place for the insertion of the scion, which is shaped on the lower end with a very sharp knife to tit closely the •ll! — j GIIAFTIXO WITH A NEW TOOL. place of insertion. Yon will notice I place the lower end of the scion direct ly over the stock. Insert the scion, which will tit closely and requires some strength to remove. Now paint the cut end of stock and scion with a liquid grafting preparation composed of one pound of rosin to one pint of al cohol. I prefer a liquid preparation, as it simply coats the cut surface over, keeping water and air from it and does not crack and fall off. When the sun i shines, this liquid melts and runs al most all off, so I put on a rag which keeps it cool and prevents it running I off. To keep the rag in place and also to assist in keeping the scion in place wind a string around it, which is cut away when the bud of scion has made two or three inches of growth. (Bast would rot away and save the cutting of 1 string.) This method of planting is mostly used for stone fruits, cherries, plums and peaches. You must graft stone fruit very early, and the season to do so is of short duration, say about the last of March, and with care in setting them about 75 per cent of grafts will live. utttle Thlturs That Connt FOP Much. The grievous faults with the feminine wardrobe are found in the bottom ol ekirts, the footwear, the hand coverings, the veils and neckwear. - Skirt bindings wear out rapidly when a woman does much walking, no matter how short the skirt. Just the friction I caused by a skirt striking against the I body tells upon the facing and bindings. A careful watch should be kept over these places and repairs should be made before the damage is noticeable to any but the keen inspection of one's own eyes. Shoes ought to be carefully fitted and brushed each day to remove every parti cle of dust. When needed, a polish should be put upon them, either at home or at any of the regular boot blacking estab lishments. Fresh laces should be putin when the old ones begin to look dingy and frayed, and buttons should be changed as ' soon as the polish wears away. ! Good looking hands are an immense satisfaction. Pretty veils are not expen sive, so no woman has an excuse for wearing one after the mesh has broken. Poverty and neglect stand out all over the woman who stretches a damaged veil j over her features or allows her finger tips | to protrude through her gloves. As for neckwear —well, absolute cleanliness is ! particularly expected of the well groomed woman. Sho must be immaculate in that ; respect if she changes every hour in the day.

She May He Queen Seme I)uy. One of the late Queen Victoria's fa vorites was she who was l'rincess May of Teck, now the l»uchess of York and Cornwall, wife of the heir apparent. Princess May was, engaged to marry the Duke of Clarence,,eldest son of the Prince of Wales, 'ip.e young man con tracted an illness in one of the eastern campaigns, and the result was fatal. 1 1 1 -"- .. 1 ' Ss DUtnESS OF YOP.K AND CORNWALL. Princess May was sorely stricken by i the loss of her young lover, and her ' grief was shared by the queen, who was also very fond of her grandson. Through the sympathy of these two women, so widely apart in years, a strong affection was nurtured, and it grew until the elder had a dominating influence over the younger. It was not surprising, therefore, that the princess became the wife of the second sou of the Prince of Wales, in conformity with the wishes of the queen. Some day she may be queen herself.
