The- Little Girl Is strange little girl. All the drowsy summer after, noons she lies In the shade of the great lageetxls, and dreams ajnd plays. ' To her the .ragweeds are not rag welds': they are tll. glorious trees, wherein dwell wondrous songsters; ladybug Is a reeblrd and a wandering fly a nightingale. .At her head In a break In the ragweeds grows, a tall buttonwued. ' To the Little Girl Its rich, golden blossom Is as beautiful as 1 the choicest roet. in the center Is a wonderful bed vf stamens and the sepals and petals are a gayly painted fence. Or, sometimes, the Little Girl turns them upside down, and lot there stands an ancient dame J 11 green klrtle and crumpled yellow petti coats. The seedpod Is no less wonderful to her. Many a time she has pondered over Its wondrous molding, and the blending shades of green, light af the top and shad ing donn lirto dark, almost black. - This, inverted, the Little, Girl uses ss a potato masher for her pebble potatoes but In her heart there Is no lack of reverence. At hor feet, in company with the "tickle, grass," the bull nettle and nightshade grow side by side. To the IJtrte Girl the berries ot the latter two arc 'the mott beautiful of 11 the weeds. Big brothers have forbidden her to touch then), but she does not under stand, and the green-golden berries or the bullweed furnish oranges dally for the dolly's table.' The strange structure of the nightshade berries she cannot understand, the thin transparent green walls through which the tiny seeds can be seen pusile hr. 1 guess mey were made that wav so that tbey could look up and see the stars," she confided to me one day. She meant the pure white, star-shaped blossoms with their protruding little yellow eyes, and I could but agree. A vigorous growth of sniartweed with the delicate pink and red white blossoms fringes her playhouse some of the plants st least two feet high. These the Little Girl does not value so much; she plucks them to pieces, pnrt by part, to see how many different colors of pink she can find, and then, in a fit of contrition, drops the poor mangled blossoms Into the pun of cool water placed In the weeds for the chickens. Buf far in the heart of the great weed patch there Is a rich growth or goldenrod, and' this, unsullied by the name ot weed. Is dearest of all the blossoms In the Little Girls eyes. This she never plucks, but often, from my window, I see her bend! over and press Its sprays to her cheeks. Her big brothers have never penetrated, even In their wildest games of hide-and-go-seek; only the Little Girl, seeing with rin r eyes, knows the heart of gold in the refuse. And so an Interest, subtle and strange the fragrance of the goldenrod, hangs over the Little Girl and her treasures. St.' ' Nicholas. The Visit et the Saow Fairies. One night when the wind was blowing very cold end the stars Qould not be seen In the sky, the clouds told their children to put on their winter cloaks and cats of white, for they weie going to send them on Journey to see the earth and let them play with the chl dren who Jived then. ) " 80 the fairy children put .on new cloaks through the air, everywhere. Some fell on the ground, some on the house tops; ot. ers seated themselves on the tall cedar and ' pine trees, spreading out their cloaks until the trees looked as If they, too, were cloaked In white. All through the 'night they came, and the next morning when the sun came out It looked in surprise at the?e small v eitora who made everything they touched so beautiful, and as the sun peeped out the little white fairies pparkled as though they were laughing at the sun's surprise. How glad the earth children wire to see the fairies. All that day they played with them. They rolled them up in pig balls and threw them at each , othrjr in play, then with sleds they went sliding down the hill with the failles, and what fun it was for them all. At last the sun thought it was time for the fniriej' to go buck to their homes, so he shone so bright that they took off their coats, showing, th sir dresses of silver. The fairies Joined hands and ran' down the hill, meeting others, until there was a stream of them. . v . . The sun's rays lifted them gently and carried them to the clouds' snd their home In the sky. ; , - A never Boy. Near the end of the season our boy an nounced the height of our tall maple tree to be thirty-tlirce feet. "Why, how do you know?" was the gen eral question. ' f ; ' .'. "-Measured It."

One morning her mother overheard Baby Jo talking very earnestly to her little dog. Suddenly she exclaimed with considerable vehemence: "Holy smoke, but you're a stupid!". "What ..was that you said, Baby Jo?" asked her mother, hardly able lo believe her ears. "I only said holy smoke! but you're a stupid." . Her mother took her up on her lap and talked seriously to her for a .few moments aliout the proper language a little girl should use, ending with: "Mamma feels very badly to have her little girl talk In the way she did; It doesn't sound pretty at all." "Why. didn't you like It?" replied Baby Jo,- Innocently. "I thought It sounded ,!ovely."-Jlrooklyn Eagle. Hon Indians Telrg-rauahed. With their body robes of finely tanned buffalo hide held, raised,' lowered, dropped and swung Ji certain well known peculiar ways, the Indian scouts am watchers used to telegraph thence to the 'distant village of the presence of strangers or enemies In the-country, of the approach of the buffalo bands und of the return of war and hunt ing parties. , If tho camp was too distant for the blanket signul to be made out, the Informa tion iwns communicated by fires at night snd by pillars and balloon shaped puffs of smoke by day, dlscernable to the distance of at least fifty miles When the traders lame up the fcllsslsMppI river the Indian scout added the small, circular hand mir ror to his meager ijut ull sufficient outfit, and In time learned to communicate with hla distant Mends bytfiashee of sunlight. The first ladiao hunter or horss herder who caught the danger signal from the lookout station repeated It to the village by tiding his horse furiously In a circle or by some similar sign.

The newspapers are culling curli est attention to the flimsy manner In .which tlitse cars are constructed." The president frowned. "It seems to be evident," he slowly said, "that we have but two courses open to us. We must either build heavier and stronger smoking cars and pussenger coaches, or elna Insist that sleeping and parlor cars be made cheaper and flimsier.
