It's a b u rning shame, pa, th a t yon won't even let her go to Hebron to see Jenny. It's kill ing ma. To think of her own daugh ter living only fifteen miles away and ber m o ther not seeing her for nearly six years! It's wicked.. If I was ma I ’d go no m atter what you said.” “ Y onr ma knows very well that she’d hare to go for good if she went at all,” replied her father, coldly. Then lie added: \I mnst bo goin’, for I ’ve got to go 'ronnd by Job Prouty’s nn’ see if he'll loan me hia light wagon to go to H e bron witb, Wedncaday.

There was a string of blue glass beads that he has given her on her fifth birthday and in a heavy black case waa a daguerreotype of her with the beads around her neck. The l it tle pictured face smiled up at him from tbe frame and there was a mist before his eyes when he thought of how many, many times those bare l i t tle arms had tightened in a warm em brace aronnd hia neck, aud of how many times those smiling lips had kissed him an (V said : “ ITove you beet of anybody in all tho world, farcer.” Everything in the trunk was a re minder oi her in her baby days, of bis little Jenny. Ho sat down on the floor beside tho trank and took the things out one hy one, the stern look in his face softouing and his heart growing warmer. He smiled when be came to a little white snnbonnet and remembered just how Jenny bad looked when she came toddling out to meet him, wearing it for the first time. It was 9 o’clock when he went back to the kitchen. His wife looked up from the weekly paper she was read ing and said : “ Why, Jason, you ain’t been up in the a ttic all tbistim e? I s’posed you’d come down an’ gone to bod long ago.” THS NEWS EPITOMIZED qnarter of an inch ot less of the mold, according to the deaired thickness of the shell of the head.

WOULD RETIRE THE GREENBACKS J DEALER in loyi was crossing the At lantic a few years nco on bis way to TiiuriDgia, G e r - many, where most of tho world’s play things for children are made. Among S O S the passengers on shipboard, says the IS m 3 Chicago Record,was t j yj nn American lady » H with her daughter, a bright-eyed,curly- headod four-year-old. As tbo child skipped m errily about tho deck on pleasaut days tlie dealer thought how much more beautiful and attractive his dolls could be made if they were modeled after such a type of the American child instead of after little Germans and Italians and Parisians. For two or three days the idea kept growing upon him until he finally sought out the American lady and succeeded in obtaining her permission *. “ A mi t h e r e w o re iu th e «nm o c o u n t r y slu'p)ier>!s a b i d i n g in t h e field k e e p i n g w a t e h o v e r t h e i r f leck s t*y n i g h t , ” T h e lo v e o f D n v lo a n d J o n a t h a n seen in o u r la s t le s s o n w a? b u t a fa in t ty p e o f th© lo v e o f H im w h o lu th i s lesso n ii s e e n a s a b a b e in B e th le h e m .

H o roe- i BISQUE DOLL FROM A LIVING MODEL. The clfty in the mold having dried thoroughly, the hc.i I is taken out an 1 set into a little llre-c’ay recentaclo much resem bling ft cheese-box. When this is full of heads it is ready for tho kiln. The process of bnrninsr the clfty is the most important in the whole work. Only the most skilled men nre employed, men who can tell almost by instinct how hot the f!res should be an<l when the heals have been suf ficiently burned. The kiln itself is a great fire-clay apartment, which opens off from the factory and is entered through a number oi small doors. When the fire-clay boxes containing all the way from ten to forty “ raw” doll's heads have been piled inside tuo kiln, sometimes to the number of several hundred, tbe doors are all closed and the heat is started and kept going s te a d ily for about three days and then the furnace is allowed to cool for two days more. If the heat ia not kept absolutely even the dolls become stoop shouldered or havo twisted countenances like those frequently sold on the bargain counters of d e p a rt m ent stores. When the heads sre taken from the kiln they aro of a faint amber color and are known as bisque ware. For ordinary china dolls a coarser quality of clay lap s e d , and after being taken from the furnace the. tir 3 t time they are dipped into a glazing solution aud then baked again. When tho heads are thoroughly cooled they aro conveye I to a long table at which scores of girl?, all gayly dressed and all chattering, are sitting. They range from thirteen years of age upward, the laws of the land not per m itting the employment of younger children. The first girl takes the head, and with a deft movement of a brush which she bolds in her hands, paints tho eyebrows\and then slips it along to the next girl, who puts tho blushes on the doll’s cheeks. A third girl colors the hair, another the lips, and then the head is turned over to a more experienced girl, who is charged with the duty of putting in the eyes. She has before her a miniature m o r tar box full of moist plaster of paris nnd scores of eyes of different iizes aud shapes. When she has found a pair th a t fits, she fastens them in, chinking in the gaping spaces with plaster of paris, which is subsequent ly colored. For the 4 <go-to-sleep’* (loll the eyes are attached by little wires nud operated by a simple weight of lead. Long experience lias made all the girls extremely deft and rapid in their work, and where they work by the p.cec they sometimes make as on© is fo u n d in G e n . xv..* w h e r e w e r e f t I for th e first t im e o f r i g h t e o u s n e s s a n d o f s a c r i fice a s th© g r o u n d o f n il a s s u r a n c e .
