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 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.

| Tbe Stolen 112
I Diamond. 1
* te !
The other evening a well dressed !
man put up at a hotel in Buffalo. 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.

THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.
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. Her
only son died in infancy, and her other
three children are daughters. Two of
these contracted most unhappy mar
riages, the eldest, Princess Louise, to
Prince Fhilip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Prince Philip's treatment drove her to
an insane asylum. The second daugh
ter. Princess Stephanie, married Crown
Prince Rudolph cf Austria, who com
mitted suicide. She is now married
again. The youngest daughter of Ma
rie Henriette, l'rinccss Clementine, is
Btill unmarried. --

MO KUAN'S RAIDERS. |
THC FAMOUS ROUGH RIDING CAM- !
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."

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

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 <>\vl w is ill- symbol of the wis#
goddess Athene of Greek mythology. !
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.
Along the banks of tlie Ganges the peo
ple consider the owl sacred to Itahne,
who makes his midnight journeys astride
the dusky back of this bird, and there is
a strange belief, among Mohammedans
that if a man should eat an owl he would
become tlx- slave of his wife.—Our Ani

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!

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.

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.
