OIJIl YOUNG FOLKS.
( Concluded from page Jive.)
did like the Irish, though they both fall
to with a relish when it comes to eating
potatoes. Now, take it all round, my spe
cial brand of garden truck is more in de
mand than any other kind represented
here. 1 flourish on the table three times
daily, while our friend here, the Tump
kin, is tolerated by pie-eaters on an aver
age of once a week. And you all know
to what class of individuals pie-eaters be
long. Then there's the beet well, he
is usually in a pickle, and beet pickles are
never allowed on the epicure's table. Of
course, the beet makes excellent cow feed,
but who would choose to be devoured by
a cow ? And we also have with us the
onion, a vegetable who vulgarly makes
his presence known at long range. Many
a man has been cut dead by his friends
because he persisted in eating onion.
But let us pass him up and consider the
parsnip. Now, I do not like to be per
sonal, but the parsnip belongs on the
same menu card with the cabbage. When
they are stewed up with corned beef they
are a dish fit for an ostrich, for only the
ostrich's stomach has the machinery
powerful enough to digest such food as
cabbages and parsnips. And next in line
conies the carrot, a good soup filler
that's all, especially when quantity, not
quality, is the soup's chief attraction."
"He's an egotistical thing ! " exclaimed
Mrs. Cabbage. "The mother of sour
kraut ! The i-d-e-a ! I say, let's cut him
out of the party."
"Agreed ! " cried the onion.
" So say I," declared the beet, bursting
with indignation.
"Ah, ah ! " laughed the potato, winking
all his eyes at the beet. " So you'll cut
me out of the dance, eh ? Now if I had
the strength and staying powers of the
onion I might dead-beat my way into the
party."
Just at this moment Mrs. Mouse, fol
lowed by her three little mice and the
gay cricket, put a stop to the hurling of
sarcastic shafts by running into the cellar
from the hole in the wall. Frisking to
the side of Mr. Pumpkin Mrs. Mouse
gaily began to chatter while Mr. Cricket
gave a sprightly hop and seated himself
close beside the Misses Carrot.
" He seems quite fresh," whispered the
larger carrot to the other.
" That's more than the cook can say of
you, whispered the potato in the ear of
the carrot who had spoken.
"Now, my friends," began Mr. Pump
kin, " as the musicmaker and the outside
guests have arrived there need be no fur
ther delay of our merrymaking. Are
you all ready for the dance?"
"Never was friskier in my life," de
clared the potato rolling down from his
height and landing close beside the cab
bage, who tossed her head and glared at
him. "May I have the torture of .your
clumsiness through the first waltz, Mrs.
Cabbage?" he said, addressing the indig
nant cabbage.
"You may n-o-t!" angrily answered
the exasperated vegetable, so overcome
that she was obliged to fan herself with
one of her wilted leaves.
"Then I shall try Miss Parsnip," said
the potato innocently, and he bounded
over to the side of a pale, bad-complex-ioned
parsnip. But the parsnip, too,
scorned him, and walked to the floor on I
the arm of an onion.
Thus they paired oft in couples, leaving
the potato alone without a partner.
"All ready!" was the signal from Mr.
Pumpkin, who had Mrs. Cabbage beside
him. The cricket gave a hop or two,
stretched his limber legs to get into tune,
and set forth the music in a shrill key
that fairly echoed in the walls. One by
one the vegetables got in motion, then
warmed to the work, and such a dance as
followed was never seen before in any
cellar.
For a moment the potato stood eyeing
the dancers; then", bowing before Mrs.
Mouse, he said: "Will you do me the
honor?" and offered his arm.
" With pleasure," nodded the sprightly
Mrs. Mouse, throwing her tail over her
arm, for all the world, like a lady throws
the train of her gown to prevent its being
trampled on. And away she whirled with
the potato, the two making the gayest
couple on the floor. Others joined and
round and round the cellar they went,
running into each other or bumping
against the pork barrel in their excite
ment. Dance followed dance, and the grey
streaks of dawn were lighting the dingy
cellars when the last waltz was over.
II om to Make a Leaflet Allium.
Have you seen a "Leaflet Album" yet ?
No ? Then make one for yourself. Fol
lowing is the "receipt" :
Take a large blank book-a scrap book
will answer admirably-and make a col
lection of leaves from every sort of shrub,
bush, tree, vine and plant. After these
leaves have been nicely pressed(you must
be very particular to press them so as to
keep their perfect shapes)then proceed to
sort them for pasting in the blank book.
Have all rose leaves on one page, ferns
on another and so on.
Reserve the last leaf in the book to be
used as an index. Number the pages of
the book, and in the index place the
names of the leaves as they appear. If
several leaves are pasted on one page
designate them by figures or letters so
that the indexing may not be in any way
confused.
Such an album will prove most interest
ing as well as instructive, especially to
boys and girls who are studying botany.
And you will be surprised to find how
few persons are familiar with the leaves
of trees and plants when they no longer
adorn the branches or vines on which
they grew. Thus your index page will
assist you in pointing out to them their
mistakes.
Not only is the "Leaflet Album" in
structive, but it is a thing of beauty as
well, for it contains all the graceful leaves
in their perfection of shape and varied
coloring.
Conundrums.
Why is the sand of the sea like strong
drink?
Because they are both found at the bar.
When are household servants like ships?
When being discharged.
What is it that you may shut up in a room, lock
the doors to hold it, have a watchman to prevent
Its moving and which will in spite of all this
precaution, go out?
A grate fire.
When is a ship like a spool of thread?
When it has a hole in it.
Why are tailors and sleighs alike?
They are both cutters.

We Trill convince you that yon
can "increase your yields per acre'
and you won't have to keep it a se
cret, either. Read what Messrs.
Wherry & Son, of the Magnolia
Fruit Farm, Durant, Mis'., write:
"From two acres of strawberries,
on which 1,000 pounds of
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
per acre were used, we cleared a
profit of $75.00 per acre more than
the other li acres of strawberries
which had only 500 pounds of this
fertilizer.' Thus double the quan
tity of these fertilizers on each acre
of any crop, and more than doubly
"increase your yildi per acre." Be
sure you buy only Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers.
