It Is four miles from Poultney, Vt., on the shores of placid Lake tU. Catherine. A green lawn leads down to the lake, where a little wharf with a rustic Bummer house at its ex tremity juts Into the water, affording refuge for a couple of dainty Hair-bedecked rowboats, in which Miss Eleio takes daily exercise. A big St. Ilernard dog named Milton can be found lolling under the tree. Lazy as he looks he keeps a sharp eyo on his young mistress, of whom he is very fond.

A broad piazza embraces tho Leslie House on tliree slues aim is rarely unoc cupied, so enticing are its shady lenglhs, 10 luxurious are the half a dozen bam mocks, so quiet is its absolute seclusion and so fraud is the sceuery visible from this shady retreat. It is here that Miss Elsie dresses her dolls or lectures thecn with truo mother ly tenderness).

A banjo leans i carelessly against a huge brass lump and ; its duly is, through the medium of Miss Elsie's fingers, to locate and deac.-ibo "Miss Maggie Murphy's Horn"," or tha ; trials and tribulations of "Waug."

Aa iu old Southern houses, the cot tage is rambling iu architecture, nearly all the rooms opening from quaint Title ptssages leading from the inula room. Elsie, her mother and two sisters form tho household, wliicii is ofteu augmeni sd by guests, who Invariably go away charmed ut tho loveliness of tho sur- t- : t ON TUB MOUNTAIN. ronndings and the hospitality of the in mates. Miss Elsie Is known far and near among me country loins nnit is univer sally beloved. Every caller that she re- Ceives (and they are legion) is treated i with a courtesv that lfi oarlienlarlv her own. " Tha routine of her life in the country is simple. Early in tho mornlne she rises aud the tap of her dainty heels on the uncarpeted floor of her room an nounces to the family below that her toilet is progressing. The family gener ally has assembled at breakfast wben she marches down the stairs with her boots unbuttoned. All operations are suspended until this is remedied aud her dress hooked behind. Her eyes, still drowsy with sleep, roam from one to another as she bids one and all "Good j morning m tno softest, sweetest voice iu the world. Eisie likes milk and ec.-s and these form her breakfast. When her appetite is satisfied she seeks tho veranda and proceeds to dress her doll in a new cost ume. Of all the expensive dolls over which she exercises maternal care one that represents an investment of six cents is her favorite. Wheu the doll is dressed she and her big doe Milton go for a stroll. Together they climb the mountain side, where, finding some flat ruck commanding a view of the lake, she taaes up her posi tion and studies a bit of Hosalind. it is bard work for her to get back at dinner time, and she is often late. Elsie is a joker, and worries her mother in fun. fc-bc ti?s a bit of red rag on a toothpick and whenever any disu on the table grows low, Elsie solemulv sticks the red flag into it, thus warning all comers off. Her afternoons are usually passed on the lake li-hinc, oi drifting idly about wilh her sisters, siruuiuiing her banjo or concocting jokes to play on her mother. During the evening she delights in imitating or burlesquing prominent ac tors she has seen. "Wain" is her favor ite opera, and she gives it as aj mono gue, even introducing a i-kirt dance, which is all her own. At 8 she goes to bed.

This precious Mrt. he carried himsult to a publisher, and with all the solemnity in the world unbuttoned his pea jacket and handed It up to the desk. It was accepted and paid for then and there, and Louis was not tho least bit surprised. IIo put his money into a big pockotbook like an experienced man of business and walked away. Ho has now begun work on a volume of his travels, which will no doubt prove interesting. Michael Zadora is only eight years old, but lie has displayed such remark able musical talent as to have called forth tho encomi ums of experienced pianists. lie is n native of New York City, and lives with l.i-: I the uptown (treats.

BREAD OUT OF SAWDUST. SalDiltlsts Now nt Wnrk on tlio Prnblrra aixl Muy SoIV6 It. A Washington Htur reporter was In formed thtit the department of ajjricul turo in interested in a plan for making bread out of sawdust. Absurd? Iiy no moans. Scientist believe that tliero is no good reason why the thing: should uot bo cutiiely practicable. Everybody knows thut starch is a substance cxtremly nutri tious; in fact, it is nearly all tiiitriment. Well, stnicli a ud sawdust are tho sm ttjinjf . Sawdust, which is "cellulose," is of precisely tho same chemiciB com position us starch. The two are ex-jii-KSHKil by the chemical formula. ('6 1110 05 that is, six parts of carbon, ten of hydrogen, and live parts of oxygen. These are tho simple in gredients of either starch or sawdust. Scientific experimenters have been trying for a long time to litid out a way to transform thu ono into tho other. If they should succeed the dis covery would bo uwtiy ahead of tho philosopher s stone in point of value. An inexhaustible source of food sup ply would at ouco bo rendered avail able in tlio forests, tho grass, uud even iu straw nnd chnlf. Hitherto chemistry has occupied it self almost wholly witli taking things apart. In order to find out what they are made of; but now tho scienco is directing its attention to putting ele ments together for the production of ! useful substances. Already it has suc ceeded in tha artilicial preparation of indigo, alizarin, nric acid, and many other compounds. The aniline colors, obtained from coal tur nnd yet rival ing the most brilliant tints of the rain bow, are similarly produced. So com plex are some of them that their names, which givo full accounts of their composition, have to bo regular seven-league words, one beautiful dvc being known as "Ilexainetliyimetlio- xytriamidotriphenyiearbinol." From coal tar in a like manner are derived many valuable anti-fever medicines aud soporilicos. ihe prospects of ting new science of putting elements together seem in tinito, and tho era of bliss inuv yet dawn which has been prophesied bv the illustrious naturalist Frederick Colin, who says that all sn uggles for existence among men arising from want of food will bo done away wilh. when chemistry shall have learn ed to make starch from carbolic acid and water. Plants grow bv doing just that, nnd it in.iv. therefore, be said that farmers have been etiifutrod since time immemorial in this very chemical industry. It would scarcely bo so sur prising, then, if the farms of tun country should be replaced at sotuei time iu the future br chemical labora tories. The Mnn-h'm-eil Crat. Ono of the most sitijrtilar-laokiii"; rreaturi-H that ever walked tlio eurlli or "siviini the waters umler tho earth" is the world famous uiun-fiieeii crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an iueh in length, yet the head is iitted with a face which il tlio perfect counterpart of that of a Chinese, coolio a veritable missing link, with eyes, noso and mouth all clearly di-litied. This curious and uueauiiy creature, besides tlio ;reitt likeness it bears to a human being in the matter of facial features, is provided with two les. which seem to grow from tho top of its head and hung down over the sides of its face. Ki-sides these legs two "feelers." each about an inch in length grow from tho "chin" of tho animal, looking for all the world like a colouot's forked beard. These man-faced crabs fairly swarm in the inland seas of Japan. t'liuiii miti Commercial- a zette. A Wichita (Kan.) woman straps her naby on her back when she goes on her bicycle.
