THE OCELOTS.
“Let’s go hunting." said O. Ocelot
“All right” said O. O. Ocelot
So they started off, their yellowish
bodies and their black spots, their
long tails and the stripes around their
necks and backs making them look
much like their distant cousins, the
leopartte.
“We have another name," said O.
Ocelot
“Have we?” said O. O. Ocelot “It
doesn’t make much difference to me,
for we can’t eat another name.”
“Not unless we should eat our
selves.” said O. Ocelot “and that
wouid not do.”
“No, that would not be pleasant,”
grinned O. O. Ocelot “What Is our
other name, by the way?”
“We are also called the tiger cats,”
said O. Ocelot “And if we should
eat tiger cats we would be eating oce
lots and that would be very foolish.”
“Very.” agreed O. O. Ocelot
“Of course,” said O. Ocelot “we are
sometimes like tigers, and we are some
times like cats, and we are decidedly
of the enormous cat family.”
“Why do you say the enormous cat
family?” asked O. O. Ocelot “Cat*
aren’t all enormous by any manner of
means, and even then, the biggest
members of the cat family aren’t enor- ,
mous, such as I've heard giraffes and
elephants and camels were.”
“That’s so,” said O. Ocelot “but I I
wasn't speaking about the size of the j
different members of the family. I I
meant that there were a great many j

domestic eats, and the tiger family, i
and so forth.

WAYS OF SERVING POPCORN.
Happiness la the natural and tha
normal; It Is one at the concomitant*
of righteousness, which means living
In right relations with the laws of
our being and the laws of the uni
verse about us. No clear-thinking man
or woman can be an apostle of de
spair.
First pop the com. Cora should he
popped over a hot fire, but care should
be taken not to scorch
Bthe grains. If a wire
popper is used, hold It
far enough from the heat
to prevent burning. The
right degree of heat
should make good corn
pop In about a minute
and a half. Too strong
heat will cause some of
the kernels to pop sooner, but many
will not pop at all. If corn pops well
the bulk should be Increased 20 times.
Do not throw away the "old bache
lors” (those that won’t pop), but put
them through the coffee mill or meat
grinder and serve as a breakfast food;
they give variety and are far superior
to many breakfast foods.
Well popped corn, with cream and
sugar, makes a most appetizing break
fast dish. When served In this way
they may be ground or served whole.
As a garnish for corn soup a table
spoonful or two of well-buttered corn
on top of the cupful of soup adds to Its
appearance as well as food value. For
chocolate lovers the popcorn coated
with chocolate Is relished. Take two
cHpfuls of sugar, half a cupful of corn
starch. two squares of chocolate and
a cupful of water. Cook until the sirup
hardens when dropped In water. While
hot. pour this sirup over four quarts
of freshly popped corn and stir well to
Insure a uniform coating of the ker
nels.
Sugared popcorn is another nice con
fection. Make a sirup by boiling to
gether two cupfuls of sugar and one of
water until the sirup hairs or hardens
In cold water. Pour this sirup over
six quarts of popped corn and stir un
til the grains are well coated.
Popcorn Balls.—Take a pint of mo
lasses. a pint of water, two table
spoonfuls of butter and a teaspoonful
of vinegar. Cook till the sirup will
harden In cold water; add half a tea
spoonful of soda dissolved in a little
water. Pour over four quarts of com,
stirring until all the kernels are cov
ered. then press while hot Into balls,
with buttered hands.
A handful of fluffy white kernels of
well popped com will add to many des
carT find us all ont sooner or later,
I probably.”
“Don't they like us?" asked O. O.
Oeelot.
“Well,” said O. Ocelot, “they aren’t
so very fond of us. You see, we go
after the poultry farms, and that
makes them mad.
“We bunt at night, and so it is
hard to get us, and that makes them
mad. We will go great distances,
too.”
“Ah. yes, the night time is the time
for hunting,” said O. O. Ocelot. "And
1 will go any distance for a good
meal and a good, satisfactory night,
killing lots of creatures.
“How I do like birds, and rabbits,
and mice, and rats of the wooded
places.
“Then, too, I like snakes, I really
love snakes.”
“So do I," said O. Ocelot. "A good
snake, a delicious, big one, is very fine
for dinner, and then one can have it
again for breakfast and for lunch and
again for dinner.”

"Haven t some of our relatives gone
to zoos?" asked O. O. Ocelot.
"Yes, they have been caught and
taken to the zoos, where they could be
looked uiKm by boys and girls and
men and women," said O. Ocelot.
“How have they taken to zoo life?"
"They’ve liked it, for, you know, we
are rather bored if we are caugm.
We don't get as angry as folks might
think."
“But let us be off," said O. O. Oce
lot, “for I feel an empty place in my
tummy which could he filled nicely by
a piece of snake or a chicken or two.
I would feel better after a meal.”

I must get my meals at night when all
is dark, for I love the night time, and
when it is bright and folks can see

dark woods, where I can't he seen,
and where I can eat and sleep.”
“We must be off,” said O. O. Oce
lot.
“Off for a night hunt." said O. Oce
lot. “and may we meet only chickens
and snakes and mice and rats, and no
people! We don’t mind If the chick

care if they don’t speak to us when
we speak to them. No, we’re not go

How Sun Radiates Energy.
The aitiount of energy that our own
little planet earth receives from the
sun is one and a half hhrsepower per
square yard, or ZlO.nOO.mm.OOO.fHlO
horsepower for the whole earth. The
amount of the solar energy that Is In
tercepted by the earth must be Infini
tesimal compared to the total amount
poured forth from the surface of the
sun. It has been estimated. In fact,
that all the planets together receive
less than one one hundred millionth
(.00000000001) of the total radiant
energy of the snn '** the form of light
and heat, the remainder passing on to
the stars beyond at the rate of 170y

Trinket for the Workbasket.
A quaint and useful little novelty
for a workbasket can be made with a
tiny doll, half of a colored birthday
candle and a quarter of a yard of
baby ribbon. It represents a dressed
doll, whose skirt of wax Is meant to
serve a familiar purpose in the work
basket. Melt the candle in a small tin
and pour it while hot into a thimble.
When the wax is almost hard, press
the tiny doll into It feet first and
hold It there until the wax hardens.
Next place the thimble in hot water
for an instant and pull until the
molded wax comes out wrapped
round the doll In the form of a skirt
To finish the trinket, cross the ribbon
over the doll’s waist and tie it at the
back.

When he wanted to go home the whole world about Blacky looked
like a huge sheep herd, so soft and while it had become, but the real sheep
were nowhere ie be seen. Blacky was lost! Poor frightened little fellow.
He started off in tlie direction that he thought his home was when a blast
of wind arming from behind carried to his ears the sound ot a child’s
crying.
I am sure il has often seemed strange to you 'dud Black Sheep should
give the third bag of his wool to the boy in the lane just because he cried.
But you will understand why when you heat this story, which began on a
night when Jack Frost was busy makir.g a blizzard, and bi ic«,y loitered
ijehind the flock watching the billions of pretty white flakes fall
Blacky recognized it as the KHfe'boy who lived in (he lane. The last
sheep turned about and followed the sound until he came to the boy’s
house. The door opened to Blacky’s tap tap. Blacky saw that it was be
cause he was poor the grate was fireless, and the wind howled outskfc
makii.^his bouse bitter cold, that the little boy cried so much.
Blacky fetched his third bag of wool for the little lad, saying: "I
promise that yew will never be cc4d if you will promise that every stormy,
night when the wind whistles and snow falls you will cry out loud so that,
hearing you, we sheep will be guided home just as I was,” and the lad
promised.
