THE RIBBON SEALS.
"Well, good-day,” said Mr. Ribbon
Seal to Master Ribbon Seal.
"Why, how do you do,” said Mas
ter Ribbon Seal. “I’ve not seen any
friends or relatives for a long time.
I’m not so friendly with my friends
and relatives, though I like you, and
you’re a relative.”
“I feel the same way about it,” said
Mr. Ribbon Seal. “I do not object to
relatives and friends, but I am always
perfectly happy alone; that’s the rea
son why I don’t see them more.”
"That is the same reason I have,”
said Master Ribbon Seal. “I believe
it is the same reason which all the
Ribbon Seals have.
“You see,” he continued, “they say
that we’re not a friendly lot, so we’re
not In the least unusual.”
"I guess that’s right,” said Mr. Rib
bon Seal. “We’re usually by ourselves,
and only once in a while do any of us
go together—that’s usually when we
happen to meet and have a little talk.”
“Oh. well,” said Master Ribbon Seal:
“it is a good thing that we are fond
of ourselves, or rather that we don’t
care more for company.
“We are alone most of the time, and
anyway, one has to be more with one
self than anyone else. It is well and
wise and sensible and excellent to be
fond of oneself.”
“You must not make us out to be
conceited,” said Mr. Ribbon Seal.
“Oh, I don’t mean to do that,” said
Master Ribbon Seal. “W’e’re not con
ceited. We don’t think we’re the fin
est things or animals or creatures in
the world; we think we’re a happy,
contented lot, because we’re satisfied
with the ways we’ve always had.”
“They say that we are greatly ad
mired,” said Mr. Ribbon Seal. "Don’t
you suppose that there won’t be so
many of us after a time? Won’t they
go after us, as they have after our
cousins, the harbor seals, and as they
still go after them?”
“It is a little different with us than
it is with them,” said Master Ribbon
Seal. “My grandfather told me about
It I met him one day when I was
out”
“Tell me what he said,” urged Mr.
Blbbon Seal.
“He said,” commenced Master Rib
bon Seal, “ *My grandson, hearken to
me.’
“ ‘I will hearken to thee, grandfa
ther,’ said I.
“ ‘Very well, my grabdson.’ he said,
•for I have something I would like to
tell you. and whenever you happen to

Experiments show that cooked rhn
: barb added to such fruits as straw
berries and rasp
berries makes «
preserve of flni
quality. Rhn
barb being com
mon and cheap
while the berries
are not alwayl
so. It is a .sugges
tion worth noting. This mixture maj
take place after the fruits are cooked
but of coarse the results will be bet
ter If both are cooked together when
fresh. Use one part of the berries to
two parts of rhubarb. The rhubarb Is
not at all noticeable, as the flavor ol
the other fruit is so much higher.
Save all Juices from canned fruit
If but a tablespoonful In the Jar;
mixed with two or three of some oth
er flavor, one will have enough to
flavor a pudding sauce, lemonade or
baked apples.
Put the last few spoonfuls of horse
radish left In the glass Into the pickle
Jar to keep the vinegar In good flavor.
Sprinkle dried bread crumbs over
string beans cooked for the table, then
add paprika and celery salt for sea
soning.
When half an onion has been used,
turn the cut side down on a small
plate, and It will keep fresh for days,
A bunch of parsley, If washed and
put Into a mason Jar, sealed air-tight,
will keep fresh and crisp for two
weeks. Leave enough water clinging
to the leaves to keep them moist
Apple Juice and pulp combines well
with many fruits and berries, extend
ing the delicate flavor of choice fruit
and reducing the cost which might oth
erwise be prohibitive.
A slice of pineapple will flavor a
large dish of milder fruit; so will
quinces and oranges combine with ap
ples for marmalade.
Apple Juice with peach or cherry,
strawberry or other fruits which are
hard to thicken, makes very good Jelly
which would otherwise be sirupy.
Cranberry Juice is another good fruit
extender; added to fresh strawberries
It makes a beautiful and tasty pre
serve. Strawberries, when canned,
often lose their color, but with cran
berries this is overcome.

meet any of the relatives or friends,
yon can tell them the same story. It’s
a true one, too.
“ ‘We are very handsome because
of the broad bands which are part of
our markings—that is, they're part of
the markings of all the Mr. and Mas
ter and little boy Ribbon Seals.
“ ‘We are about the size of the har
bor seals, and we’re relatives, as you
know; but there Is a reason why we’ll
be safer from harm than they.
“ ‘In the first place there aren't so
many of us,’ continued my grandfa
ther, 'and though we are beautiful and
unusual, folks can't get so many of us
if there aren't so many of us to get.
Can they?’
“I shook my head.
“ 'But there is another reason why
we aren't caught so often,' said ray
grandfather. ‘We live far away from
other creatures. We're not sociable.
We live In waters where people rarely
travel. They know so little about us.
And they can’t captnre us for they
don’t know where to look for us.
“‘It's like playing hide-and-go-seek,*
continued my grandfather, ‘except
they cannot find our hiding places!
We're off, far away, In waters they
don’t know and can’t discover.'
“That’s the truth,’’ ended Master
Ribbon Seal.
"It’s the truth,” repeated Sir. Rib
bon Seal.
Poison Gas to Fight Squirrel*.
Experiments In the use of poison gas
in exterminating grain-eating ground
squirrels are under way, according to a
report of the county horticultural com
mission to the Los Angeles board of
supervisors.
At the same time it was announced
that Los Angeles county has sold its
surplus stock or saccharine and strych
nine to Orange county in order that
the neighboring county can join in the
campaign being waged against the de
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commis
sioner liyan, the use of poison gas is
necessary at this time because the
squirrels, which have been practically
eliminated from the worst nffected re
gions in the county by the use of poi
sons during the past few months, fall
to eat the poison at this time, pre
ferring the new vegetable growth.

THE MOTHER GOOSE FAIRY biOR j> Fm 13 * By Etesnsr Sclaorci
_0_^ r,_a ‘ML. _
The reason thal each shearing time Black Sheep gives tire second
bag of his wooily coat to his Dame is this When blacky was a tiny
hairy lamb none of his kinfolk cared for him because he was no wh'le, as
they were. Dame, finding him lying curled up in a corner very sad and
neglected, wrapped Blacky in her apron and put him in her own house,
near the fire.
Dame went to Oak, King of the Forest, told of Blacky’s sad plight;
and asked for wood to make the baby lamb a cradle. This kind King;
nodded his great crowned head and all his leaf-trimmed arms, and said,
“Yea, yea.” So Dame helped herself to enough lumber to make a bed
for Bladcy.
But the coals arkHnatehes struck up surh a warm acquaintance that
Blacky, who kept close to their fire, grew into a healthy sheep anyway.
.When old enough he made up for the white sheep’s selfishness, giving
HtS wool io make blankets. Dame and he have since made many ill
and neglected animals, and birds nideven kiddies very happy.—
Saturdii/s ilory is oj the third bat °J vxx^- *
Next Dame visited the birds and told Blacky's story. They gave as
’much down as they could spa* av* made a nice soft pillow. “Now we
saiglit to late woollen blankets,” thought Dame. Only sheep have wool,
so she went to their leader. He turned tiis back upon her and (as sheep
all follow the leader, no matter how cruel or stupid he may be) the whole
flock did likewise.
