0 «■ CHILDREN'S. DEPARTMENT: . A LITTLE SONG. I hare a little *ong in me That einga and sing* and sings, I wieh it ever could get out Like other pleasant things. I think it looks a bit like me, I couldn’t say just why; Perhaps its eyes are very blue Like—those blue bits of sky. And sometimes it’s as white and pink As blossoms on our trees; And then again it hops about Just like that chickadee. —Jeannette Marks, in The Churchman. - TARGET SHOOTING ON TABLE. F igure x shows the target cut out of cigar box wood. A circular piece is first cut, about one inch In diam eter, a n d eight small round pieces of cardboard with the num b ers 1— 8 on them are mounted on toothpicks and grouped around it at even distances; the other ends of the toothpicks are then inserted in the sides of the cir- tu lar piece of wood. The target it self is fastened to a stick of wood ibout eight inches long, fastened to t stand, as shown in the picture. The gun consists of a paper tube, which is made by winding cardboard well cov ered with glue around the stem of a longer sullen; it was serious. Sud denly he looked up and turned tow ard the distant, unconscious figure of his father. “D a d ,” he said, aloud, “I’ll never think of breaking my word again! Youth’s Companion. I t lead pencil. When it is dry, a piece about five inches long is cut off. One and three-quarter inches from one end we make an incision about two inches long, .cutting down to about one-half of the thickness of the tube. (See Fig. 2). Figure 2 shows how a piece of whalebone about six inches long is inserted, acting as the propelling power of the gun. You shoot with a wooden peg about one and one-half Inches long, fitting loosely into the barrel of the gun; to give it more w e ight and strength we insert a carpet tack, as shown in Fig. 3. right hand, pulling the whalebone back with the index finger and insert ing the peg; as soon as the index finger releases the whalebone it springs forward and forces the peg out. To aim well, hold the tube in such a way that the whalebone spring points downward.— W ashington Star. HIS OPPORTUNITY. You m ight have seen by Tim o thy's expression that he was angry. His father had set him to w o rk hoeing, because farm w o rkers were scarce th a t year, and because his dollars were almost as scarce as the hands. Tim o thy could see his father in the brook meadow, doing the work of two m en; but this was not consolatory. Tim o thy had planned to spend the Saturday afternoon viewing a base ball game. Every tim e a gust of the fresh wind brought him the bursts of cheer ing from the ball field Tim o thy’s anger grew. He kept regretting more and more that he had not spoken the word which would have permitted him to see the game. His father had not positively ordered him to work. He had said: “Just as you please, Tim. You have a choice of oppor- , '.unities— one to see the game, and one to do a good turn to m e.” And eomehow Timothy had made his choice. W hen, however, a wagon dashed by in d a young man tossed the stum p of ais cigar at Timothy, crying, “One strike on you!” Timothy threw down ais hoe and reversed his choice. Why should he not see the game and do ihe hoeing after supper? He climbed :ho fence, scurried down the road—» Mid in two minutes camo back again. After all, he had prom ised to do the hoeing. A faint crackle, an up-lick ing tongue of flame stopped Timothy u he was astride the fence. The sm o ldering c igar stum p thrown by th e passing stranger had fallen at the edge of a huge rick near the barns and outbuildings of the farm . The dry rick had caught at once, the flanges were spreading— a n d his fath e r and the hired m an were far away. With a gasp of fear, Timothy lumped from the fence. His coat was bring on the ground. He caught It ■p and ran td the nest of fire. He sms In time. He bent and stamped the fire o u t Panting, he stood a mo ment, looking at the black patch. What if he had not come back t What . R he were now cheering end shout- leg,at the ball garnet bed up hie hoe and CUTTING OF A BOY’S HAIR. One of the most ancient and cur ious customs among the Chinese, and one rarely commemorated in this country, was observed with great pomp and circumstance in Chinatown Sunday night, when Fong Hock, a leading m erchant who for years has had th e supervision of the Chinese discounts in the Anglo-Californian Bank of San Francisco, entertained his relatives to a remote degree with a magnificent banquet In honor of the first cutting of the hair of his only son. The banquet took place at an Eighth street restaurant and there were 150 guests. A notable feature was the fact that the wives and chil dren of the guests sat down at the same table with the heads of families. A m o st elaborate menu, comprising birds’ nest soup, steam stuffed duck, Foon Yon Ha, shark’s fins and other rare and costly Celestial dishes were served. The banquet cost the happy father $1800. During the evening quite a num b er of prom inent members of the San Francisco Clearing House called t the restaurant to offer their felici tations to him. The hair cutting cere mony, which was observed with pic turesque rites, symbolizes th a t Fong Hock’s heir Is now a factor In the family. The guests brought presents for the little son worth thousands of dollars.— San Francisco Chronicle. HIGH JUMPING AT SEA. “ T he m o st stupendous of all leap- ers of the sea,” says a w riter in Out ing, “ is the whale. I have seen a m o n ster weighing hundreds of tons, possibly eighty feet in length, rise slowly and deliberately out of the water until It appeared to be dancing on the surface, entirely clear of it, then sink slowly back. “Such a_.leap is on record in the annals of the British Navy. A large whale cleared a boat, going com pletely over it, an estim ated leap of tw e n ty feet in air— how m any in a lateral direction was not known. “Exactly how high a tuna can leap it is difficult to say. I have seen the water beaten into foam by them four miles distant, and have a photograph showing a fish— a black streak at least a mile distant high In the air— a jum p of certainly ten or fifteen feet; and it is my opinion, based on To shoot, hold the gun with the j what I have seen, that it is possible for a lusty tuna at full speed to pro ject itself twenty feet into the air and thirty or forty feet in a horizontal direction. “I Judge the latter possible from thq leap of a big tuna which cleared the kelp and landed high on the rocks Santa Catalina. I have often stood in the centre of a school of leaping tunas and watched them , but the situation is not one suggestive of repose or peace of m ind.” NAMING THE EVERGREENS. H ere is a suggestion for a little nature study for mother and chil dren: W h ite Pine— Five needles in a bundle; scales of cone thickened at the top. Scotch Pine— Two bluish-green, short needles in a bundle. F ir — Erect cone; flat, spreading needles scattered singly. Norway Spruce— L arge hanging cones; scattered needles point all ways. Hem lock— Small hanging conps; flat spray. Arbor-Vltao— F lat branches; cones few-scaled, and only two seeds under each. W h ite Cedar— Cones roundish, with four to eight seeds under each. Pitch Pine— Dark, stiff needles a n ranged in throes.— Indianapolis News. OPTICAL DELUSION. j: Timothy picl turned to wo returned to work. His fsee was no be happy.

Costly English Establishments. It is said th a t there are at least sixty country hom es in the United Kingdom which require a staff of from 250 to 500 servants, and involve an annual bill for wages ranging up to $100,000, and in many of them the gardens alone am o u n t to more than $25,000 a year expense. CARE OF COWS AT CALVING. The care of cows just before and after calving demands much judg ment. The cow should be placed in a box-stall and receive laxative feed for a few days previous to parturition;' and it is frequently advisable to give a mild purgative, say one to two pounds of Epsom salts. After deliv ery the cow should be fed lightly and have her w a ter wariped for a few days. It Is not well to have the cow fat at this tim e but In a good strong condition.— W eekly W itness.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

I choppa da tree down w itta me hatch.” Standing before M agistrate Steers yesterday in the F ifth Avenue Court, Brooklyn, Pasquale Rosaka, an Ital ian, of 130 Union street, made this honest confession. He had been arrested for chopping down a small cherry tree in Dyker Park, intending to take it home for Arc wood. His frankness did not avail, as the m agis trate fined him $10. “Georga da W ash no tella da lie and gitta da pat on da back.

A Cure That Has Held Good Four Years. Mrs. Mary Crum lish, of 1130 W e s t Third street, W ilm ington, Del., says: “ Some years ago I began to feel weak and miserable, and one day awoke from a nap with a pierc ing pain in my back t h a t m a d e m e scream. For two dayt I could not move, and after th a t I had backache and dizzy spells all the time. My ankles swelled and I ran down dreadfully. I was nervous and had awful headaches. I wonder th a t any medicine could do what Doan’s Kidney Pills have done for me. They cured me four years ago and I have been well ever s ince.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-.vlllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. I u PRUNING FOR TREES. Pruning Is very im p o rtant, espe cially to old trees that are in a vig orous condition. Usually the old tree does not give an oversupply of vitality and while it may present a vigorous appearance it will not have enough vitality to m a ture a growth of leaves, new shoots and develop the fruit. Since the new shoots will receive attention before the fruit, the fruit will suffer if a systematic pruning is not practiced, j Summer pruning should be begun when the presence of the young fruit can be told and every pvater shoot y th a t does not possess fruit should be'' cut off. All weak shoots that are filling up the centre of the tree should be removed, as should all those which are m aking a rapid and w a tery growth.— Journal of Agriculture. CARE OF CHICKENS. The chickens should be kept grow ing every day from the time they 1 begin to eat, but as the cooler weath- I er approaches it will be safe to begin to give them all they will eat. The sexes should be kept separate as soon as they can be distinguished, 1 and the cockerels fed plenty of good ! sound corn, and have beef scraps, oys- : ter. shells and grit where they can ' go to them as often as they please. The pullets may be fed in the same way until they are about five m o n ths old, but after th a t drop corn or corn meal and give wheat, barley and a few oats in place of them, if they are intended to be kept as w inter layers. Corn tends more to the pro duction of tat than of eggs. If they have the range of a field where grass hoppers and other insects are abun dant, they will not eat or need to eat much of the beef scraps. I have known Plym o u th Rocks and W yan- dottes to begin laying at live m o n ths old or younger, but do not think such ones will produce as many eggs in the winter as those that do not begin until six m o n ths old or a little cider. Those very young layers often lay a dozen or wo of eggs and then stop for one or two months before they begin again,- while those more mature be fore they begin often keep steadily at It until spring.—If. F. Ames, in tils American Cultivator. The L a rgest of Blasts. One of the largest blasts ever fired in France1 was discharged recently at the quartzite quarries at Cherbourg and Is said to have displaced 120,000 tons of stone. A tunnel m easuring six feet wide and six feet high was driven into the face of the cliff for a distance of seventy feet, and at Its end two branch tunnels, each twenty feet long, were driven to the right and left respectively. These branches ended in cham b ers forty feet apart and seventy feet from the face of the cliff, and m easuring each ten feet by six feet. The cham b ers were charged with eight and one-half tons of blast ing powder and 280 pounds of dyna mite, and the blast was fired electri cally. The quartzite obtained from this quarry finds much favor in E n g land as a road m aterial.-—Philadel phia Record. H. H.
