Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast

Flaxie.
Flaxie'b mamma Btood bj the table,
rolling out doughnuts Flaxie stood
noar, drumming on the table with both
hands as if it were a piano, throwing
back her head, and screaming as loud as
she could scream.
"There, that will do," said mamma
I am tired of the noise."
Flax'e stopped singing but her little
feelings were hurt, and sho said in
grieved tone: Where's my papa—he
loves me, but you don't."
With that she stuck both thumbs into
apiece of dough.
"See, mamma, you cut a: crops-eyed
doughnut!"
1 rR
She caj'ed it "cross-eyed" because
the hole was not .quite in the middle,
Mrs. Allen smiled at the funny idea.
"O Flaxie," said she, "must I tie
those we©, wee hand*?''
It was very hard doing the Saturday's
baking with this little ohatterbox at her
elbow but Dora, the kitchen maid, had
gone to see her sick mother. At 12 she
wits coming back and at 3 Mrs. Allen
and her husband and Jane Abbot were
going to ride. Aunt Jane came at 2
with dear little Nellie. "Dodo," said
Mrs. Allen to Dora, you inu&t watch
these children every minute for Flaxie
is uncommonly full of mischief to-day."
Yes'm," said Dodo and she took
the children into the nursery, resolved to
do her best. In a few minutes Flaxie
rushed into the parfor where her mother
and aunti^tfere seated, and shut the
door hard.. But, both ladies heard a
wailing ill the nursery. "What's that
noise in there asked mamma.
ruD»pl'Dp
-I
1'
"Nellie's a-ky-in'."
"What for?"
I striked her!"
"Why, Flaxie, what made you??.'
"Oh, Ihad to, 'cause she wouldn't
give me tho book."
When 'Flaxie did wrong she usdailly
said, "I had to.'"
Wasn't Flaxie a naughty, naughty
girl?" .. .:
Yes'm," replied the cliUd, dropping
her pretty little-tow-head but she
wasn't toil bit ygtUWrtildi blow that
by the funny quirk ^around her mouth.
Mamma saw she would have to be pun
ished. fW the first time slia pnipped
the little pink nnd white hands. It was
a great surprise to Miss Flaxie Frizzle,
and almost broke her heart.
"OI feel orfly," Dora heard lier aay.
And, by and by, she crept tinder the
kitchen table to the big dog Fowler
And
said she,. "Doggie, kiss baby baby
el a
Fowler licked her face, and a lobk of
tender pity oame into his brown eyes.
It comforted Flaxie. Ue loved baby,
and baby loved him oh, so much better
than Kitty Gray, the cat, 'catule Kitty
Gray has pins in her feet.'' "Oh, I feel
orfly," she ouwned agaiii, and stole out
at the side door while Dodo was singing
to Nellie. She thought she would go
into the stable and tell the moolly oow
how her heart aohod. Bat she forgot it
when she saw her papa's horse standing
at the front gate, harnessed to the car
riage. He wM .i^ed^WhUi because he
traveled so fijst. don't believe there
was a horse in town that could toss his
head and fly over tho road at such a rate
mWIuz
and nobody dare drive him but

Hossy turned around, looking very
"pyeisjaii", After ti-si-it didn't take
tvo seconds for EJaxie to climb in and
catcih up the reins, calling out:

She kept jerking the reins and callings
"Dap! Dapl" She was having her own
way, and liked it And Whk, who did
not mind her half as mucll.t& lf Sh'oV
been a fly, was having his own way, and
liked it, too/'
Mamma wad first to discover what had
happened. She and
papa
and Antit
Jano were in tho front entry talking
alxjut the new wall-papfen' ^'Why,
where's the horse?" cried-Mrs. Allen,
opening the door. "Where's the
baty f" cried Dora, at tho same moment.
She had searched the barn, and back
yard, and front-yard, and could not find
her. Then' you may know that there
Was a "time." Dora wrung her hands
and screamed: The horse hag riltt off
with that baby I Oh,catch that precious,
precious baby!" But mamma, who
loved Flaxie far better than Dorm cotild,
did not shed one tear. She only said
calmly to her husband
"Tell me, Oharlss, what sha1' we'elo?"
And he answered, looking very pale,.
"If I only knew which way to go
"Get another horse and go some
where," said Aunt Jane.
There isn't a horse in thiC'town cnn
overtake Whiz," srd pap^ but he ran
to the livery stable as fast as he could
do. Mamma and Aont Jane could not
keep still. Mamma went up street,
and Aunt Jane went down. Some
where they supposed there was a broken
carriage somewhere there was a crushed
and bleed'ng baby. Where, oh where?
But no that dear, good, high-minded
Whiz had turned around long ago, and
was going -home. He knew better than
to hart one 8?Iky hair of Flaxie Frizzle's
head. Mrs. Allen had hardly got as fpr
as the postoffice, when he dashed by her,
and FJaxie dropped the reins, calling
out, "0 mamma! mamma!"
By the time Mrs. Allen had rushed
home, Whiz was in the carriage yard as
quiet as a iamb. Dora ran for Aunt
Jane the stable-boy ran for papa and
one of the neighbors fired a gun. But
mamma caught Flaxie to her heart, and
as soon as she could speak for crying,
asked the sweet little naughty, try-pa
tienco darling, what made her run away.
Oh, I yided away! Didn't yun!"
said baby, with a sweet smile, for she
had forgotten all about the snipping.
But we don't allow you to climb into
the carriage. It was naughty, naughty!"
Well, I had to," said Flaxie, coolly,
as if that settled it. "Because I was
play in* I was your naughty little goorl
and that's because!"

Begin with yonr own things imd your

will tell you if you rush to her, enthusi
astic with great intentions, and offer to
relievo her of half her housekeeping.
Don't draw that little bucket of cold
water to have it ponred back upon your
early zeal, Reform your upper bureau
drawer relievo your closet-pegs of tht^'r
accumulation of garments out of use a
month or two ago.. Institute a clear and
chcerful order, in the midst of whioh
you can daily move and learn to keep
it. Use yourself to the beautiful—
which is the right—disposing of things
as yoii handle them
-BO?that
it ^vill be a
part of your toilet to dress your room
and its arrangements while you dress
yourse]f leaving the draperies you
take off as lightly and artistically hung,
or as delicately folded and placed, as
the skirts you loop carefully to wear, or
tho ribbon and lace you put
with a soft neatness about your
throat. Cherish your instincts
of taste and fitness in every little thing
that you have about •, you. Let it
grow impossible to you to put down so
much as a pin-box where it will disturb
the orderly and pleasant grouping upon
your dressing-table or to stick your
pins in your cushion, even, at all sorts of
tipsy and uncomfortable inclinations.
This will not make you fussy "—it is
the other thing that does that the not
knowing,,swept by fidgety experiment,
what ?s harmony and the intangible
grace of gelation. Once get jpnr knowl
edge beyond study, and turn it into tac!-—
which is literally having, it at your fin
gers' ends, as I told yon—and order will
breathe about you, and graceavolvef rom
commonest things, and uses and belong

ting things to rights will not be sepa
rate task-work and trouble, any more
thMi it is in the working of the solar sys
tem. It will go on all the time, and with
a continual pleasure.
Take upon yourself gradually—for the
sake of getting them in hand in like
manner, if for no othor need—all the
pares that belong to your own small ter
ritory of home. Get together things
for use in these cares. Have your little
wash cloths and your sponges for Hits of
cleaning your furniture-brash and
your feather-duster, and your light little
broom and your whisk and pan your
bottle of sweet oil and spirits of turpdi
tine, and pieoo of flannel, to preserve
the polish, or restore the gloss, where
dark wood grows dim or gets spotted.
Find out, by following your surety
growing sense of thoroughness and
niceneos, the best and readiest ways of
keeping all fresh about ''you, Invent
your own processes they will ccme to

Tho American Grocer, after recom
mending the busy mothers to take a day
now and then to hie away to the woods
with their little ones, tells what to take
tbeat:
Sandwiches can bo made in the follow
ing fashion: Boil a few pounds of ham,
and chop it very fine while it is still
warm—fat and lean together—rub dry
mustard in proportions to suit your
taste, through the mass add as much
sweet butter as would go to the spread
ing your sandwiches, and when' it is
thoroughly mixed, split light biscuits in
halves, and spread the ham between.
These can be eaton without troublo and
will be found excellent. Add to them
some oranges, or any other frnit in sea
son, a loaf of cake, if you are a notable
eake-bakor, a bottle of cold tea, Tell
sweetened, a small lump of ice wrapped
in flannel, and yon are well provisioned
for the day. If your excursion is to the
seashore instead of the woods,, you, can
hoist your blanket hpon four sticks and
make a tent, under
Which
you can sit or
lie shielded from the sun, while your
children paddle in the water, dig clams,
or du anything of the thousand and one
things .which ohMren iipd to. do on such
occasions."
.i^rtafte, for.thia kind of out-door living
needs to be cultivated among the women
of our country—a taste whioh would

ical' oldeii titifei 4t was the.,
starting point of profound meditations,
which are held not to be unworthy of
being attributed to the most famons
pMosophers and mathematicians of the
day. The author first, in all earnestness,
d^caonstrates the abfturdity of the opin
ion which asserts the figure appearing in
the moon to be nothing else than an op
tical illusion arising from the visual sense
being d^ZKl^Lby the brightness of the
moohVdisK. Next!we have a lengthy
refutation of another opinion, which
says that the visage in the moon is the
reflection of ovr ocean. Among other
reasons given to show the erronoousncss
of this opirion is this, that there is only
one ocean, and that, if the visage in the
moon were a reflection of it, then the
ocean must be made n|i of parts sepa
rated from one another by isthmuses and
continents. The tlr'rd opinion combated
by Plutarch.is to the effect that the moon
is a mixture of air and a xr ld kind of
fire as sometimes duiJug a perfect calm
the surface of a body of water becomes
raffled—a thing itself-to be demonstrated
—so too does the air assume a black'"sh
color thus is explained the appearance
as of a human face in the moOn. The
hypothesis of the Stoics, who affirmed
the moon to boa globo of fire, on the
surface of wlvch rests the atmosphere,
is rejected on tho ground that in that
case the moon would need some matter
whereon to rest, and from wh oh it might
derive fuel for its fire. We are informed
that, according to Pindar, the earth is
propped up all round by pilars with
bases of adamant, whereas, according to
the Stoics, she has no need of supports,
being situated in the center of the uni
verse toward which oU things tend. This
last opinion is declared to be untenable,
because the oorth, whose surface is so
broken with elevations and depressions,
must then bo considered as spherical,
and that would imply the existence of
antipodes clambering up and down the
earth's sides like lizards. —Prof. Carl

Kiyoto, Japan, exhibits some elegant articles
of their industry, in the shape of artificial flow
eta, bur-pins, and many handsome articles for
the coiffure. The most costly ornaments worn
in the hair are made of light-colored tortoise
shell. In manufacturing tho articles, "objets
de luxe,'' the white spotless parts, are cat out of
the rough tortoise shell, and by warming, press-'
ing and gluing with tbe white of an egg, th«y
are shaped into hair-pins of all kinds, and
mostly into those four-oornered pins, eight to
ten Inches long, which are worn horizontally
through tbe hair. JVhen light and transparent,
these pins are quite expensive. The brown
colored tortoise shell is used for combs, trays
and- baskets, and is freqoently oraamontcd
with gilt lacquer paintings. From the same
district is a qnaint ooilection. of. children's
toys, They usually imitate, animals, represent
ing hair and feathefs with hemp and silk
threads. Pictures are made by pasting pieces
of silk, cut to represent different figures of
men and animals, on sheets of paper.
Consnl General Morris explained to me the
workings of the coffee trade of Liberia. A
hull holding three grains, with which he dec
orates his watch guard, was a unique and prac
tical souvenir of the coffee interests. ItsSems,
that, in spite of the immense resources of
Brazil, and the reputation of Java, that Libe
rian coffee is prononnced the best in tbe mar
ket by many experts. What tbe opinion of the
judges of award will be, I can't say, but the
grain seems to be large, smooth and firm. For
tbe benefit of journalists who barter, Gen.
Morris says he requires one bushel of coffee in
the hulls for a year's subscription to bis paper.
One coffee tree at Monrovia has been known to
yield 30 pounds of coffee. Another specialty
with Liberia is palm oil. Sixteen hundred jars,
hermetically sealed, are now en rtrato for tbe
Centennial. Cam-wood, red-wood, and bar
wood are valuable woods.
THE OLOBIXE.
This is (me of the most valuable of the Aus
trian exhibits. The Glorine is a trace system
pleasantly adapting itself to local circumstances,
and available for military as well as indus
trial purposes of communication, suiting the
objeot in view. It may be made stationary or
movable tbe former for fortresses, arsenals,
railway slides, harbors and mines the latter
for industrial and strategic purposes, such as
loading lines for troop transports or exercise
lines for the arjny, in the way of transportation.
With a simultaneous front and side loadings
six military trains can.be If den within a short
period—say, ordinary traina, two hours—and
from the center of the Glorine pfant yon can
drive to tbe right and left into the cbnent line
without removing the engine from the trains,
in order to turn it around on the torn-table.
Thus twelve traina could be dispatched in
twenty-four hours, both In regular tear and
echelon traffic. This invention has no superior
iu machinery in loading heavy freights.
MISCELLANY.
The Argentme Republic exhibit a cuirass
made of grass, a handsome Vienna cloak with
out a seam, also a handsome Pampa girdle and
a variety of fabrics made by tbe Pampa Indians.
A curious collection in the Argentine exhibit
consists of ladies'head-dress, collars, bracelets
and gloves made of bristles. An unpleasant
thought springs up in the minds of most vis
tors on rieaing the Argentine boots made of
snake skins. And one can almost imagine
snakes in his boots, in the skin at any rate. An
Aibe straw hat is quite pretty from C&tamarca,
Argentine Republic. Cordoba sends handsome
mats made of feathers, also eotne very hand
some flowers made of hair. Buenos Ajres
sends a gold necklace and medallion represent
ing the fourteen Argentine Provinces, pretty
and instructive. They send from Cordoba
beautiful flowers made of seeds.
Zurich, Switzerland, has a specialty on ex
hibit in fig meaL I have not t» sted it, but it
must be a great delicacy for those wlio are fond
of figs. Another specialty is suiTogate of
coffoe. Antwerp sends a gin made from fine
grains. Tbe most beautiful tapestries on ex
hibition are-from Belgium. There is a portrait
of Rubens, panels from Gailait, portrait of
Cousin in Arabian coetnme, eight panels to
gether, representing eight gods, from OlympnS,
with all their attributes from Audran. Fall
length painting, style Loois XYL The tapes
try carpets are beautiful, representing in
bright and attractive colars different seenes ie
rural life. A wonderful. exhibit from Switzer
land is a collection of oereais from a sandy soil.
What has been add#* to make it productive
must be a secret, as sand entire
is not generally
adapted to agricultural purposes.
.The Japan
one exhibit beautiful leather made
of soft deer skins, printed and dyed. This
fabric is from Tokio. The Japs are faawos for
their paper this they make from the kKodL
zd," K^Ji," "Gampi," the Kuwa or mnlberry
tree, Hi-no ki, a wild eherry the bark of all
these trees and shrubs. Bamboo ia also used
the bamboo is out before tbe leavee:areout
the pulp is mixed with a certain percentage of
tbe Kadzu fiber. The paper called Chikaahi is
really bamboo paper. Some of their orna
mental papers are pretty and strong. They
use in writing on their paper a pigment known
by the name of Chinese ink it is used with a
brush, the pen being dispensed with as unsuit
able the brash moves very easily, abaorta the
ink without allowing it to spread in the least.
Their crape paper shows a high/ degree of ar
tistic industry.

KILLING A MAX ME FORK MB
HEARS THE SHOT FIRED.
There is an American story of respect
able antiquity whioh tells how a fast
tram outran the sound of its own signals
and came to utter grief, the sonnd of
the warning-whistle arriving after the col
lision. The driver was killed, and the
story ended with the words "Poor fol
low! he was dead when his curses
reached him." As curious, and much
more certainly true, is the fact that
when a man is
Btruck
does not see the flash. We do not know
whether it has been observed that some
thing similar will happen to the first man
killed by the eighty-one-ton gun, within
a mile of the muzzle he will not hear
the shot fired. The velocity of sonnd is
1,132 feet per second. The muszle vel
ocity of tbe bolt of the eighty-one-ton
gun is about 1,600 feet per second.
This, of course, rapidly diminishes, but
the average for some distance would be
greater than that of the sound. In fact,
as the shot carries the whistle along with
it, one would hear the whistle of the
shot befote hearing the gun. SOihe
curious observations might be made
with regard to this latter point, as to the
acoustic effect of sonnd emitted by a
body traveling faster than the sound.
The only other example
we
have ia the
lightning flash, producing the irregular
.oil of the thunder.
TBE TRADE WIWD8.
The earth turns on its axis from west
to east, and with it rotates daily the
enormous envelope of the atmosphere.
The velocity of rotation at the equator is
something over 1,000 miles an hour at
thiity degrees distance it IS about 150
miles less.' In higher latitudes it is still
less, and at the poles nothing. There
fore, whenever the air moves north or
south on the surface of the eartb, it will
carry with it less or greater velocity of
the rotation than the place it passes over,
and will turn into an easterly or westerly
wind, according as it approaches or re
cedes front the equator. In the region
of the aun's greatest heat, the air, rati
fied and lightened, is continually rising,
tho tseoMr currents come in on both
sides to take the place of the ascending
volume. As these currents come from a
distance of about thirty degrees from the
the equator, they have, at starting, an
eastward velocity many hours less than
the localities they will eventually reach.
Consequently, they will appear to lag
behind in all the bourse of their progress
to the equator—that is, they will have a
westerly' motion ur*tedwiththeir north
and south movements. These are the
jjreat trade winds, blowing constantly
from the nbrtheast on this side, and the
southeast on the other side of the equa
tor.—Popular Science Monthly.
