THE BURLINGTON, YT., FREE PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1S88. YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN. ENTERTAINMENT OF VARIOUS KINDS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. A Four 'tntvil Clock, or How llio Clill Iron of tlio Celestial Kuiplrn Tell tli Tlmo of luy by l'.Tiiuilnllig llm Pupil of n Cut's Kyc. Everybody knoivs thut cats enn seo In the dark, nml tho reason tlioy can Jo so is bo cause, of tho peculiar construction of thclt eyes. You tuny hnvo noticed In n tuodornta light tho pupil or black part of pussy's oyrj is small nnd of an oval shape, while in a full glare of light It liecomes so narrow ns to look like n mere slit. A FOUH JOOTKD CLOCK. Now In tho dark it expands to a circle aud nearly fills tl.o surface of tho eyeball, so thai It collects and transmits to tho retina th faint rays of light that are In what appear! to our more limited iower of vision to b( absolute darkness. This peculiarity of tho cat's eyes is turned to account in a curious manner by tho Chi' nose. Tho Abbo Hue relates that when h was traveling in China ho asked his attend ant what timo it was. Tho man went to a cat that was quietly basking in tho sun and examining its eyes told the abbo that it vvaj , about two hours utter noon. On being quts j tioned how ho knew that ho explained thai tho pupils of u cat's eyes were largest in tha morning, nnd that they gradually grew smaller as tho light increased until they , reached their minimum at noon, that then they began to widen again, until at nighl they once more beeamo large. The good abbo was filled with admiration for tho ingenuity of a )eople who could uso cats as clocks. Hut it must bo admitted that this way of telling the timo of day is rather a loose one, and could u..ly lie trusted in very j serene, clear weather, for temporary gloom or the darkness of a storm would sadly do-' range the four footed clock and put it all wrong. Tlio Weaving of Life's Web. Jem Phillips, as represented in our cut, 13 at what he calls "a looso end," which means, I suppose, that ho has nothing to do; and from his appearance ono would imagine thai , his want of occupation is not troubling him ' very much. Just now he is watching a troop of Irish harvest men on their way to Farmer Cray's, and presently ho will stroll down tlm village, to seo if any other idle person i$ 1 lounging about thero who can join him in planning n "lark" for tho afternoon or even- ing. So tho day will pass, and it will bo strango if Jem gets to the end of it without ' doing something wrong. sf& Tfl AT A LOOSU EXD. W'u hoar tho expression "at a looso end" from the lips of both young and old far too often. It our web of lito is being woven carefully mil neatly there should be no such thing a1- a It. "e end about it. Ke.eh shred ol timo and i nergy has its place, and if til wasted it will h, misseil by n .d by when thero is no chance of recovering it. 'J lid loose end, owe dropped, can never be woven ill aguin. ltemember, then, that the odd minutes, the leisure hours, the days set apart for rust or recreation, have their value, and must bo accounted for as exactly as tho peri ods of time which aro devoted to regulai work. Tho weaving of our life web Is continuous; its growth keeps paca with our own, and though wo may spoil it, wo can never for u moment ceasj from working at it. Tlio threads uro count less, the pattern constantly changing, but wa havo not n singlo thread placed in our hundj which is not needed. If you hnvo an odd nriuuto depend upon it thero is nn odd duty to bo done iu it; nnd if you wasto tho min uto, tho duty will perhaps bo left undone ah together, or, at any rate, it will bo done at tho wrong timo or by tho wrong iierson, and bo the paueni of your own life orofsomo body elso a lilo will not bo just what God in tended it to bo. Wo mako a sail mess of out; weaving, even when wo aro doing our ver best; but we may always bo sure that wo am spoiling it if wo come to "u looo o id." Pearl Diamond's Mental Arithmetic. My nanw is Mental Arithmetic. I am a book, and I belong to a Iittlo girl of thj. name of Pearl Diamond. I am tho book sha does not liko. If she does not know her les son 6bo will make a tcrriblo face at me anil shake mc. Sometimes I think my back will come off, as if it was my fault that sha does not know her lesson. Vat it is not; I am there printed right before her. 1 have soma very hard examples iu my life. I was very pretty when she first bought me, but I am art old, torn, dirty book now. When the teacher says, "Girls, in order for; mental," somo pupils pout. Then I am thrown in tlio desk, and then when sho takes out another book I am sure to fall nnd get hurt, and sho is so mad becnus.0 I fell that) euo kicks mo very hard. Then sho throwa mo iu the desk ns hard as sho can, ns If it wn my fault that I fell out. Now tho strangest thing of nil is this Iittlo girl's mamma al ways calls her "Pearl, dear." 1 ilu not un derstand that, when sho is so mean n-nl spited ful to me, a poor book, who is not U olivm, for having been mado. Do you , THE CURIOSITY SHOP. , Tho Term Crcolo Applied to Tenant Horn Near tho Tropics. Crcolo is a corruption of the Spanish vrcrcl crJcllo, which signifies ono born in America ir tho West Indies of European ancestors. In this sense all tho native white peoplo of tho United States might bo callo 1 Creoles. Hut tho word In Its English form has under pono both a limitation and an extension. It Is limited to persons born within or near tho tropics, nnd Is mado to include persons of all colors. Thus tho term crcolo negro is em ployed in tho English West Indies to distin guish tho nesiiies born there from tho Afri. cans Imported during tho time of tho slave trade. This application of tho term to tlio colored peoplo has led to an Idea common in Bomo parts of tho United States, though wholly unfounded, that it Implies an admix ture, greater or less, of African blood. Custlo (iiirden. Cnstlo Garden, New York, was (.rl'inaliy laid out as a rough fortilleatlon, at tlm most southern part of -Manhattan Island, in Kilti. It was subsequently known us Fort Nassau; then, under tho Dutch, as Port William. It was surrendered by tho Dutch to tho Eng lish, and then christened Kort James. It took tho name of Castlo Garden soon after tho breaking out of tlio Revolution. It was built for and used as u fortification. In 1S17 it was opened us u placu of amusement, and for .1 number of years was occupied us such. Jenny l.inil mado her llrst appearanco In America there, under tho management of I T.

Dur ing tho summers of IS.11, 1S.VJ nnd 1S.13 av oral noted operatic artists appeared tbcro under tho management of Max Maretzek. It has been occupied as an emigrant landing depot since August, 1 S.1.1. Senators President. Tho question has been asked: Was thero ever n president elected that had been United States senator Answer John Quincy Adams was elected United States senator and served from Oct. 17, IS03, for a full term; James Monroo was United States senator, from 17!X to 1701; Andrew Jackson from Nov. UJ, 1797, to April, 179S; Martin Van liuren from Dec. 3, 1S21, to Dec. L'O, 1S23; Franklin Piereo from Sept. 4, 1S.TT, to 1S1U, and James Buchanan, Dec. 15, 1SU, to March, ISM. Andrew Johnson, who was elected vice president and beeamo president of tho United States, was a United States senator from Tenn sseo, serving from Dec. 7, 1857, until lie was appointed by Presi dent Lincoln to bo military governor of Tennessee, March 4, 1SG2. Tho Hrm-flts of Salt. Dr. Jncohi maintains that salt is necessary in milk as well as vegetables, for sick or well, and especially for children. Its action in tho circulation is well understood; it en hances the vital processes, mainly by accel erating tissuo changes through Mm elimina tion of more urea uud carbonic acid; it prevents tho solid coagulation of milk by cither rennet or gastric juico. Tho cow's milk ought never to bo given without tablo salt, and the latter ought to bo added to a woman's milk when it lhaves liko cow's milk in regard to solid curdling uud conse quent indigestibility. Coca. Coca is the dried leaf of a South American shrub, vulued for its stimulating narcotic properties, which it is said to possess in a greater degree than opium, tobacco or any other vegetable, production. Tliu leaves aro gathered and dried in tho sun, and mixed with quicklime, and aro chowed by tho Pe ruvian Indians, the ell'ect being to support tho strength for a considerable timo iu tho absence of food. Its use is attended w ith pernicious consequences, as the appetite for it increases, and tlio power of resistanco di minishes, until at last death comes as n re lief. lied Tapo llurorfu. "Red Tape ISureau" means any depart ment where business is transacted through a regular routine. Tho term refers to ollieial formality, and it is so called from tho red tapo used in public ollices for tying up of ficial documents. The "lted Tapo lliueau" is synonymous with the "Circumlocution Ofiicu-' in Dickons' "Little Don-it," which he describes us tho chief of "public departments iu tho art of perceiving how not to do it." The Oldest Kurnpcuu Tongue. Tho oldest Europeau language is that spoken in tlio Basque provinces in Spain, and also in Navarre. It is called the liasquo language, and is spoken by about UOU.OOO French and Spanish people. It cannot bo classed with nny lndo-I-tiropcaii or Semitio tongue, und apiears to bo of earlier origin, presenting somo grammatical anulogics with Mongol, North American and certain Kast African languages. I'taukMii's Kpltupb. Many persons havo written their own epi taphs. Franklin wroto his, which was ns follows: "Tlio body of Benjamin Franklin, printer (liko tho cover of an old bonk, its contents torn out and stript of its lettering and gilding), lies hero, food for worms; yet the work itself bhall not bo lost, for it will appear ouco more in a new und moro beauti ful edition, corrected and umeuded by tho author." Oilgln of u Term. Tho term "sinews of war," as applied to monoy raised for war purposes, was first used by Jacob Cats, a Dutch poet and states man of the Seventeenth century. Iu ono of his works ho says: "Tho prowess of tho sol dier or tho power of the statesman nmounU to nothing unless the money men supply tho sinews of war." Tho Irish Language. According to census returns, the Irish lauguago is spoken exclusively by about !S20, 000 arsons, principally in tho provinces of Munster and Connaught, and both English uud Irish by about 1,200,000, thus showing that with nearly ono-fourth of tho population of Ireland it is still a living tongue. Kquluoctlul. Without taking into account tho small Variations duo to refraction, etc., the days and nights aro always of equal length at all jKiints on tho equator, without regard to th position of the ecliptic. A Duty of Electors. If the nominee for president should die the night before election tlio election would be held and his electors would choose a now man. Greeley died before the college met.

A Tow Novel nnil Ilffectlve Adjunct In troduced ut Modern Dinners. Thero nro so many novel adjuncts to tho modern dinner, ono grows n Iittlo confused when attempting to chooso tho most Directive. Doilies aro becoming tho embodiment of re fined tasto nnd labor, nnd whether embroid ered by tho patient toll of tho Orient or by tho deft fingers of somo American mnideii, uro almost loo dainty to bo breathed upon. A stylo just now in fashion, by tho by, is to work tablo napkins with ono largo embroid ered letter. Tho hostess may, If sho prefer, wrllo her own initials iu letters half an inch or moro high across tho corner of the napkin and embroider these iu over and over stitch, nridlng, if desired, n sprig of jasnilnu or forget-me-not underneath tlio three initials. Flowers play an Important part at dinners nnd luncheons. At a recent luncheon given to somo young girls twelvo bunches of daffo dils wero procured; attached to each was a yard of dally ribbon. These llowers wero massed In ono bouquet ill tho center of tho tablo, from whence n ribbon streamer radi ated to tho plato of each guest, tho places being indicated by tho names painted across tho end of the streamer. Candles with colored shades aro well nigh indispensable, or else n low hanging central lamp, with n lace valance. All lamp shades now wear petticoats, and tho soltened light is liecoming and at tho same timo grateful to tho eye. Fancy dishes of salted almonds nnd silver trnys of bonbons, provided with tho dainty tongs now in vogue, provo themselves smil ing oases in the desert of linen, nnd at a tlmo when radishes are in season n dish of theso crisp ruby vegetables, with their coats peeled back, liko the petals of a (lower, prove a most attractive arrangement in green nnd red. A great iolut gained is to havo the tablo present nn uttraetivo appearanco without being fussy. It is bad tasto to let tho nov elties iu viands crowd each other in tho courses; n little perspective adds to their effect. Ices may bo served in tho fmit and (lower forms now so much alTected, uud a leaf of rose geranium in tho finger bowl is not amiss, says Decorator and Furnisher, from which the nbovo items wero gleaned. Chair Hack vrlth Ihnbrolilered llonlor. Tho novelty of the chair back represented iu the cut consists in its embroidered border, the details of which aro shown iu Fig. 3PirW WSffl Kit.. 'J -C1IAIK HACK. The chair back may bo made iu silk or plush, but the latter is recommended as rich est in appearance. A central square of red dish brown plush may be embroidered with tho rose spray and bird, or may bo decorated with the applique designs that can be pur chased for this purpose. For the border nro utilized remnants of plush of many different colors and irregular shax-s. Flu. KMimomr.itv o.v cii.un hack. The seams in the patchwork border aro covered with fishbone stitch in yellow nnd drab silk. How Itostou Cooks Itroll Steal:. At the lioston cooking school, pupils nro advised to llrst wipe ami trim a steak; nest grease the gridiron nnd broil over a clear fire, turning olten. The pupils aro taught to count ton and then turn the steak, keeping this up till both sides are seared enough to letaln the juice, thru cook more slowly. Cook a thick slice of steak about siv minutes. The steak is served with Maitro d'Hotel butter, which is made as follows: Cream one-quarter cup butter, add one-half teaspoon salt, one-half saltspooii pepper, ono tablespoon chopped parsley and one tablo fpoon lemon juice. This excellent sauce for hot meats keeps very well; quite a quantity of it may bo made at a timo nnd put away, if one wishes to do so. Add to tho meat nt tho very moment of serving, as it melts quickly on the hot meat. This sauce is also very nice on broiled fish of nny sort. To Circumvent the l'ly. A spongo saturated with strong carbolic acid and suspended iu the room is ono of va rious popular expedients for inducing tho omnipresent lly to tako its departure. To kill tho flies in a room, close windows and doors und with tho Iittlo bellows that como for tho purpose, blow Insect powder plentllully about tno windows, against tho walls and up to tho ceiling, till the air is full of tho line dust. In an hour or two sweep up tho dead Hies. Still another good oxpedlent to get rid of flie is to mako n strongMeeoctlou of quassia chips by boiling in water, und sweeten well with molasses. Flies will oat it eagerly and die. Hon to Launder Ijiwii Dresses. To wash lawn and sateen dresses so they will not fndc, uso no soap, but boil two quarts of bran iu about six quarts of water for half un hour. Strain through a coarso towel and mix in tho water iu which they, uro to ba washed. Hinso lightly in clean' water without btarching. This preparation both cleauses aud stiffens tho lawn.
