"What is that speck, rising- ont of the birches, southeast of the road? Ia it a cow? No, it looks like a bubble os large as a pumpkin and of all the colors of the rainbow. Then a gust of wind blows it into his room. It hits the shade cord as it passes it and bursts, and, presto, there stands a little fellow the exact counterpart of . George. v "Hello!" said George. "Who are "I'm I shed. a boy-that lores to be pun I lore hard work. I lore to I lore to be sent to bed a half tadj. hour ahead of time'-- " Why, then, you're the fellow I'm looking for," said George, impnlsive ly, "because I hate all those things. What'll you take to bvo up here and get punished for me and do all my hard work?" V "I'll do it for my board and keep." , "Bully for you! "What's your name?" said George. t,"Better call me George, as long as that's your name. I'm only two min utes old and I hadn't thought of a name. But you understand that your folks jure not to know that I'm here. Whenever I'm needed you'll .hide and I'll take your place. The rest of the time I'll stay up here and hide under the bed if anybody comes intoVihe room." ' ' '. ' "But won't'you be hungry and want exercises?" "Oh, I'll exercise at night and you iVTmmuttale food up to me. I won't neeclmuch." ' . Just then George looked out of the window and saw his father driving homo in the ox cart. His "Gee, haw' floated. through the calm of the Octo ber afterhoon in a drowsy tone. But George knew that the tone would be 'anything but drowsy when he learned . that the boy had been naughty; and he groaned aloud. : "What's , the matter?" asked his double, the Bubble Boy. "Oh, I've been bad and papa's go ing to flog me." "Oh, let me be flogged instead. You don't know how I long to feel a little pain. I think I'll like it an much as you like pie." George lcoked at him in astonish ment. "You're a queer fellow. It doesn't seem exactly right, but papa won't know the difference, and I'm aorry I was naughty; so you may go down and get punished, and I'll stay up here." ' . A few minutes later Farmer Trues dell drove his team into the barnyard, unyoked the oxen, leaving them to wander off down the lane. Then he came into the kitchen where' his' wife was preparing dinner. "Hello, Molly! Bold 'era all early. People seemed hungry for cabbages to-day. Those medicine Indians was on the flat aud I bought a bow an' arrow for George. He's be'n pesterin' me for one, an' - seein' to-morrow's his birthday I s bought 'em. Where is he?' '"""Mrs.., Truesdell shook her head. "He's up in his room, where I sent him. He's been very trying to-day. He teased Cynthia and when I scold od him he was impertinent to me. And then to cap all he broke the pan try window, throwing stones at the chickens, although I told him not to." Mr. Truesdeli put the bow and ar row into the north pantry. ' don't know what gets into that boy some times," said he. "I suppose I'll have to flog him." Setli Trussdell went to the foot of the attio stairs and called "George!" "Yes, sir." "Come down." "You, go," said George, and his double went gleefully down the stairs. George took up his station at his win dow, where he could command a view of the woodshed. But first he looked the door for fear his mother might come up and find him. The double walked into the kitchen. "My boy," said Mr. Truesdell, "I'm sorry to have to punish you when I come home, but your mother tells me that you Imvo been impertinent and disobedient, so come out into the woodshed." George's double, with never aword, walked out to tie woodshed." Mr. Truesdell took a birch rod down from its resting place on two nails and told the boy to hold out his hand. Up in the window, George was staring wildly hAJevenshly breathing. Ss.-iwlshcame the rod. Phew, vthaX a revoundwa thwack! George heard it distinctly. :"""H.-. would have cried out, but his double never winced. Four cuts of the rod and then the double flung his arms around Mr. Iruesdell's neck and hugged him. "Tbank you, thank you, said he. It had been a pleasure to him. "As good as pie," as he had told George. Mr. Truesdell was overjoyed to think that the boy could take his pun ishment in so good a spirit, so he re turned the caress. Then the Bubble Boy went into the kitchen and kissed Mrs. Truesdell and said, "I'm sorry I was naughty," She had half repented having told her husband about George's misde meanor and she patted the boy's snoulder and kissed him, and said, "We!!. I'm anr it won't niinr acnin " According to schedule, he shoulr now havo gone upstairs r to relief George, wlj was wondering what v ke?ping him.Jtut this Bubbley' was hann od a time to r into im.

I don't take much stock in hen books myself. I've always made 'am lay without any book, and I don't be lieve but what hens laid before the first book was ' printed, but I'll give you something to be interested in and you won't be so apt to break windows if your time is more occupied." The Bubble Boy smiled : but said nothing. He was too busy with his third slice of pumpkin pie to talk. After he had finished it he said: "Can I ride over with you?" "I dunno. Kinder late for you. Well, seem' to-morrow's your birth day, I'll let you." So it happened that a few minute later, George, who had been weeping in his room, not daring to go down and expose the trick he had played upon his father, and yet feeling very hungry and contrite, heard a sound of wheels in the yard and looked out of the window. There in the dusky light he saw the Babble Boy. backing Jack into the Concord wagon. He worked like an old hand, and in a few minutes his father came out of the house and got into the wagon, and then they rode off, his double driv ing. This was too much for the poor boy. If there was one thing he liked before another it was a ride with hit father, and at night of all things. He cast himself upon the bed and sobbed as though his heart would break. What a wicked boy his double was. Here he'd offered to board and keep him to take all his troubles off his shoulders, and he was' taking his pleasures as well. Oh, how hungry he was. Cold chicken would taste good. . He rose from his bed and walked as noiselessly as he could down the attic fetairs, but his mother, who was put ting Cynthia to bed, heard him, and called out in an alarmed tone: "Who's there?" "It's me," said George in a weak voice. "You back so soon? Why, what's the matter? (Seeing he'd been cry ing.) Has anything happened to your father? Tell me child!" "1 didn't go with papa," sobbed George. "That's why I've been cry i a- it. - - ing, '.'Why, George, I saw you go," said his mother. "It wasn't me; it was a bubble boy that floated in this afternoon." His mother looked bewildered. "What's the matter with you? Are you crazy?" said she. At this moment the sound of wheels was heard in the yard and George said: "There they are. They'll be in in a minute." In less than a minute his father came in. "Oh, here you are," he said to George. "You ought not to jump out of the back of the wagon in that way in the dark. - I stopped and called to you and you didn't answer, and I thought you , were hurt. And then I saw you running toward the house." .'". "That wasn't me. That was the Bubble Boy." His father didn't notice, what he said. 'Where's that hen book? I want to show, your mother that pic ture of the Wyandotte." "What hen book?" asked George, mystified. For the, next few minutes his an swers were so bewildering to bota parents that they finally told him sharply tti go to bed. , "It doesn't dm to keen a crrowincr r 47 boy up late," said the father. - m 1 'lee i as lor tne aottDie tney woman t hear another word about him. George went upstairs by way of the pantry, and appeased his appetite somewhat. When he entered his room he half expeated I to see his double. But, as we all '4now Bubble Boys have short lives. He looked out of the window. A silvery moon was rid ing through steamy clouds, and he thought he saw an iridescent bubble floating by its side. "I guess I'll take my own punish ments and my own pleasures after this," said he, as he took a bite of drumstick. "I know I don't want any more mean old doubles like that one." New York Sun. Quite Moved to Pity. The young wife of a military man gained fresh notions last year as to the hardships endured by our soldiers when in camp. "The way the officers treat-those poor men is perfectly horrid, my dear!" she exclaimed to a friend. "The moat dreadful shower came up while I was on a tour of in spection with Henry, and he hurried me back. On the way we passed a poor sentinel, and of course I knew he'd be drenched. So I said, 'Hurry back to your quarters, or you're sure to get dreadfully wet!' But he kept right on pacing, and Henry reproved me for speaking to him; and, when I said it was cruel, he only laughed. And, when I told him at leastj"- nht 4-r 4Viaf vwvrvY f a11w jpt brella. he lust roared. I? ful?

Small Flocks Do Best. Small flocks "of poultry usually do better than large ones, and there are several reasons why this should be so. They receive more care and attention in proportion to their number. One could scarcely keep a flock of fifteen without devoting a half hour per day to them. At this rate one would only care for 300.in a day of ten hours, yet many think they can take care of about a thousand in that time and not keep very busy. ; Spending so much time among a few, one gets to notic ing the personal peculiarities of each one. He can soon tell which ones lay fi ve eggs a week and which only three, and if one does not visit the. nest at all for weeks he knows it, and is soon rid of those that are all expense and no income. . If he desires to raise chickens, he can by a little care select eggs from those hens which matured earliest and have been the best egg producers, and thus he is breeding for eggs. And last, but not always least, 'the item of table scraps and waste vegetables, for which usually no charge is made in itemized accounts, are really valuable to the small flock as furnishing some variety to the ra tion and an amount that may realfy deduct something from the gram bill, while in a flock of 100 or more there would not be in an ordinary family enough to give each hen a fair bite. This makes the expense of keeping each fowl something greater in the large flock if the variety of food is bought for them, and the returns a little less if it is not. Kopy Milk: Cause and Care. Kopiness is a fault of milk which doe.8 not necessarily depend for its cause upon the health of the cows. It is said to be caused by any one ox several different species of bacteria. A. B. Ward has found Bacillus lactis viscosus to be the cause of viscid milk in two dif ferent creameries. In the two out- oreads investigatea, tne trouble was found to be caused by the use of milk utensils "which had not been sufficient- ly scaiaed. xne bacteria remaining in cans which had previously 'con tained viscid milk, were able to sur vive the washing and remain alive to infect new quantities of milk. Greater care in scalding utensils brought the trouble to an end. All small utensils were immersed in boiling water for threo minutes and tho larger cans were filled to the brim with scalding water which was. allowed to remain for the same length of time. A thorough investigation of the sources from which ,the bacteria might have en tered the milk at the stables and of sources elsewhere, failed to reveal the presence of Bacillus lactis vicosus. Neverthsless, from the work of Ada metz, there is reason to suspect that during warm weather these particu j lai bacteria get into the milk from water. The importance of thorough j scalding of vessels which have contained ropy milk is urged once is urged upon the consumer as well as the dealer, by Mr. Ward, in Cornell Bulletin 165. Bacteria may readily be transferred from running water to milk by the agency of mud, which drying upon the udder, may be dislodged during milking. Milk utensils which have been used for containingwater should be scalded before using again for milk. The apparent purity of water used about a creamery gives no as surance that it is free from bacteria. New England Homestead. . Obtaining a Good Lawn. It is generally understood that good soil is one of the chief requisites in obtaining a perfect and lasting lawn, and as this feature is usually well pro- . vided for no directions are necessary. In grading, the surface should be suf ficiently even so that the grass may be readily, evenly and regularly cut with a lawn mower, hence grounds that are naturally level, or nearly so, should be made, in technical lan guage, -"crowning" -that is, with a gradual swell through the center, whioh relieves the perfect flatness so apt to result in grading grounds that are almost level. This swelling con tour need be but a gradual departure from the perfect level. Care must be taken that the work of "crowning" is ; not overdone, so as to result in "dish ing'' or scooping out the soil in de cided hollows. As a rule there is no objection to retaining the natural variations of the ground, unless they are too' pro nounced, in which case it is a simple matter to slightly fill in the one from ' J --VTjhe house H, fri level it f Shed.

Chicago Record. ' ( Slf-Cloaln Gates mmd Dmh. -Self closing gates -and doors are most a necessity where there are chil dren constantly passing in and-out, else pigs, chickens, jetc.,, roaming Vit large, will pass just as freely and one can never feel secure against invasion. A post with a swinging weight is often used, but the chain and post are al ways more or less in the road, while the devices illustrated herewith give perfect satisfaction and avoid thia ob jection. For stable, crib or shed doors, a weight and pulley, as shown in Fig, 1, do the work. The pulley can be purchased or if you "wish to make it yourself take a piece of iron one inch by one-eighth and eight or nine inches long. Holes are-made in the - center and at each end, after which it is bent U-shaped. The center hole is for the bolt, which fastens it to a block on the door facing just a trifle no. SEIiF-CLOSINO DOOB. above the door. This bolt must fii loosely in the iron so the pulley will accommodate itself to the direction oi the rope, which constantly changes in opening the door. The pulley maybe two or three inches in diameter, and, if inside, a small rope passed over it and fastened to the door by means of a piece of iron having a hook at one end and flattened at the other, bent so as to stand several inches away from the door, thus making it possible to draw the door entirely shut. Any piece of metal of sufficient weight, or a tin can filled with pebbles, is at tached to the other end of the rope. Where exposed to the weather a chain should be substituted for the rope. ' The gate devices illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 are home, inventions and have been in use about my yarrd for four or five years and have proved very sat isfactory. Decidedly the best is made by attaching a half round piece of wood to the back piece of the gate in such a manner that a chain drawn across it will have the same leverage when the gate is open as when shut, 7 no SELF-CIiOSTNG OAT. as seen in Fig. 2. At the front of the block is a large nail or hook over which a ring in the end of the chain is slipped, but which may be re moved at pleasure, for occasionally it will be desirable to have the gate re main open. The chain, or it may be a wire with a short chain at the end, passes along the fence to the next post, or if a paling fence, to any con venient point along the upper railing, and is attached to a weighted stick at a suitable distance from the point of suspension, easily found by a little experimenting.- The weight on the end of the stick may either be pieces of metal or a block of hard wood, and as the gate is opened will be pulled np and in turn close the gate by its fall. The advantage which this arrange ment possesses over the following is that it does not project into the yard, JIG. 3. - BAKE TOOTH SPBISO GATE. but lies close to the fence; its pressure is nearly the same when the gate is closed as at any other point and can be made to be even greater if desired, while there is . no danger, as with a spring, of losing its tension or snap ping off in extremely cold weather. However, the spring Shown in Fig. 3 is a. good thing, too Take a common bayrake tooth, preferably a round one, heat both.ends in the fire until red.

One oi the hardest things in a rooxt fro arrange artistically is the piano, rjw that fashion has decreed that it shall be dragged aw.ay from the walL Many au otherwise perfect apartment has been spoiled by the inartisti 'arrangement of the piano back. . A great aid in overcoming this is s mirror, made the exact width of thl piano, and placed flat against its backJ On ach. side narrow curtains may be placed, and the mirror used either a a reflector, or with painting on frame and glass. Palms may be prettily, arranged at the foot, to be repeated in the glass surface, or a tiny seal placed there, with cushions of quaint shape and material,' - With the mirror as a starting point one may have end less varieties of decoration, - KeephMt Fat la CoadlUoa. ; It should be remembered that while the same fat may be used repeatedly for frying, it needs special carfi to be kept in a Suitable condition. It should always be carefully strained, in ordei to be sure) that any crumbs or particle; of whatever may have been fried in il are not retained. Fat, too, that has been used for fish cannot be used again,-for anything else except fish. Wlrarft sweets are immersed in boiling fat, tho latter should not be used to f'.y meats, oysters, or anything that would be injured by a sweet flavor. Now that there are several grades oi so-called ojivo oil, this vegetable fal may be used more freely than when it meant a considerable item .of expense. So long as. the cheaper grade is sweet, too close an investigation into its ele ments need not be insisted upon, where it is used for frying purposes. Food fried in the vegetable oil is more wholesome than that cooked in the animal fat. Cheerful Parlor. The set, formal parlor, shut, out from 'sunshine and fresh air for the greater part of the year, has long ago . b'en abandoned by the greater, nam oer of . sensible housekeepers. . This does not mean that the parlor has been given up, aud that the sitting room has taken its place. "The parlor is a necessary room to the house mother who lives in the country and does her own work. She needs a room set apart whioh she will always find neat and dainty. Here she can receive the untimely or the unex pected caller whom she would not be willing to receive in the sitting-room. The parlor is undisturbed by the in vasion of the men of the house, and of children who are too hurried to set to rights the books or furniture they may have set awry. The sitting-room is subjeot to the small tracks of for getful children who do not take off their overshoes ,and leave them at the doormat, where they should beleft. It is often a place for the temporary deposit of various belongings of other members of the family. It is not pos sible to always keep the sitting-room in as orderly a condition as the mother desires it should be. It is for this reason and Others that it is desirable to have a parlor apart from the sitting room. This is especially the mother's reception-room, a room easily kept in faultless order, because it is seldom used, except fcr callers and company. It is desirable that the parlor should open out of the sitting-room by fold ing doors, so that on occasion the two rooms may be thrown into one. Delicate hangings, especially dainty articles that woultl not last long in the every day use to which they would be exposed in the sitting-room, may be properly kept in the parlor. Delicate bric-a-brac, such as so often tempts the fingers of little children who are not under the perpetually watchful eyes of their elders, and many other small treasures of decoration are bet ter off in tho parlor.

In Cienfue gos the commanding general has al lowed the city authorities to take ' charge of -the cemetery and reform the past abuses. .General Brooke. Governor of the island, has notified both parties to .the controversy the church on the one hand and the city governments on the other to submit their claims and proof in each case, and the decision will then be finally rendered as to which iathe owner of the cemeteries and entitled to control them. Volapnk ! Vanishing. In the later part of the acxaatfes a German linguist, Johann Schley er, was at work on a world language an artificial language mado out of the principal languages of the earth. In 1879 he issued a grammar and vocab ulary of tho language to which he gave the name of Volapuk. Volapuk con sisted of 14,000 words, of which about 1300 are root words, a third being taken from the English.one-fourth from the Romance, a fifth from the German and, the remainder from other languages Its grammar was its chief advantage, being very simple and regular through Out, was designed to be a useful com mercial language. Its introduction marked the beginning of a craze. Ten years after the language was presented to the pubiie there were no. less than twenty-three publications appearing in this tongue. In America a paper pub lished exclusively in this new lingo was established and 5000 copies of "Hand book of Volapuk" were sold. But the JOHAJfX (The Inventor of Volapuk.) - i fad is dying ouirather rapidly,though the Activity of some of its friends, "es pecially in the Volapuk academy in , Russia, show no signs of decreasing. The obstacles in the way of its becom ing a world; language are numerous. It is not at all adapted to those who speak the Polish and Hungarian lan guages for instance; its great defi siency was its inability to render the idiomatic expressions of the various living languages; while the idea of in ducing a billion , and a half of human beings to give up their mother tongue for an artificial language is hardly con- , eevable at this day. The Brad nth fields of Haarlem. Holland is still the bulb-grower of the world. Supremacy in hyacinths and tulips is the oae distinction left, which gains a niche for .Holland among the world powers. No one who is ac quainted with the figures of the Dutch bulb trade and has watched the in sinuation of the hyacinth "into the forbidding corners of English urban life will doubt that Haarlem's industry is a world power. Ought not then every Hollander to be proud of Haar lem? Should not be take off his hat to every hyacinth bloom he passes? And if he is not skilled to bow with grace the flower will teach htm, for the humility of natural beauty invari ably saves the hyacinth from any SCHLBTEB. . . arrogance of bearing. -True, it lurp -not the singula! grace of the daffodil, ' which learns the lesson Of humility and bends its head just at the crisis of its glory; still, the nprigbtbyacinf1., left to its own devices, is nej- '- r.
