One morning Sirs. Sackett put Julia carefully into her carriage. She tuck ed her up with rugs, afghans and alia wis. Meg often wondered how the baby could breathe; but Julia was fat and hearty, and Meg knew that she grew heavier. So it niut ha ve agreed with lier. "Keep where it's pleasant and sun ny, and take good care oilier," said Mrs. Sackett. ghe said this every day. M'."g took as much care of Julia as any well meaning but careless girl of fourteen does a baby. At the crossing she thumped the carriage down into one gutter, and banged it up out of the other. The baby was used to this, and only opened her eyes wide and gasped on arriving on the other fide. Meg was just turning the corner when she heard her mother's voice. "Me-e-eg!" . "Yes'm!" "Stop at Ilurd's and send home three pounds of brown sugar and a half-pound of tea!" "Yes'm!" Meg thrust her elbows through the handle of ' tho baby carriage, and crocheted as she walked. Crocheting tidies was Meg's favorite pastime. She always had a tidy under way. Hurd's was a corner grocery store, with a door opening on each of the two streets. Meg wheeled the car riage close to the show window, and fastened the wheel with a stone so that it couldn't roll off. Julia sat still, and aazed with at tention at the resplendent advertise ments of Jenk 3 soap ana lompKtn s irinper. although she must have known these placards bv heart, liabies have to endure so much which they do not understand that it ts not surprising that tliev become philosophers. Hurd's was crowded, as it always was in the morning, but Meg did not obiect to waiting. She chatted with Katie Allen ami Lou French, and even drew out her tidy nnd did two rows before the salesman had time to attend to her. Then she ordered sugar nnd tea with as grand an air as that worn by Mrs. Ponsonby, who "resided" in a four- story brown-stone house on a stylish avenue, whilo Mes lived in a "third flat." "Wait for me!" said Katie Allen "I've got to go to the butcher's." "All riLht." answered M-8. Klie waited and when Katie started, he walked with her, talking brisnly, down tho st reel almost a block before klinsilddrlllv cried: "Oh 1 foryot the batv'" but imb?" asked Katie. 'Why, I our baby with me and I've gone ami leit me carnajpi uuv aim, the store!" "There wasn't any baby at the dtmr mun we rntii) nut.'r rviilU-d Kate.

She was a hard-working woman, and treated things in a matter-of-iact way. But when Meg came back to report that no one had seen baby or carriage anywhere, Mrs. Saekett be came alarmed. She forgot to wold this time. She put on her bonnet, and searched the street thoroughly. She inquired nt all the stores, and even went to the police station. Coming back from her fruitless ex pedttioiC she dropjied wearily into a chair by the door. Meg could not bear to see her mother's white face. She picked up her hat and crept down stairs. An organ man was playing a lively tune, and Lou French's little sisters were dancing to the music. They came up to ask Meg "if the baby was found, and Meg, without looking at them, choked and rushed down the street. She walked on in a breathless state for several blocks, and hapjen ed to pause for breath just where there sat, on a doorstep, a boy about twelve years old,- with a woebegone and tear-stained face. Meg looked at him and asked, abruptly. "What's the matter? Have you lost a baby?" "Lost a baby!" shouted the boy, in dignantly. "ou clear out of this!" He seemed to look as if he thought she was making sport of him. Meg was glad to "clear." She had onlv spoken out of the abundance of her thoughts. She walked along, surveying absently the windows she passed. She wondered if all the babies who lived in those houses were safe, or if their parents were hunting for any of them in grocery stores and police stations. At the next corner she stopped again. Three women stood theretalk ing. Said one of them, a small woman: I told her, says I, 'Mrs. Smith, you'd better report it at the station house. It belongs to somebody that's looking for it,ofcourse!' says I." ".She woman t take the trouuie. She's too elegant!" remarked a stout woman, sarcastically. , "That s so." replied the last speak er. ' "She saiu, "ler tiicm tnai s tosc it look for it. Jimnne brought it home, and he'll have to n muse it till the mother comes,' says she. It serves Jimnne, right, though, the stout woman added, decidedly. "A pretty trick, to wheel home the wrong baby!" , Meg felt faint. She leaned against the railing. Whose baby were they talking about? " here was Ins own; asuea tne third woman, who don't seem to un derstand the circumstances "Why, you know he left it beside a store while he played marbles, and his mothercame along, and took it home to frighten him!" 11a! ha! ha:" You may depend she was mad, though, when ho brought home a strange baby!" "Ha! ha! ha!" Could two babies be lost in one day? Meg stood in doubt a few minutes; while the two women discussed the story. She remembered the little hoy whom she had seen up the street, ana stepped boldly up to the talkers. . .!!! i i i i .. i.' r.,,i i ill you jjicne leuiuc o iuuuu a babv?" Bhe asked. The eyes and tongues of all three were directed to her at once. "Why!" "Well have you lost one?" Mercy on us! do you know whose it i? Mot colored, but stood her ground "Somebody wheeled our baby away while I went intoastoreof an errand," she explained. "We've bean looking fnr her n ll the momma: The three women were delighted. They all insisted on escorting Meg down the street and into the right house. .The mournful little boy sat on the front steps, his attitude show ing his thorough disgust wi,th life. "You d better go up and take care of vour twins. Jimmie!" laughed the sarcastic woman. Jimmie looked at her, his counte nance expressing unutterable things. "Coihe. Jimmie. come," cried the sharp little woman; "take us upstairs, we want to see your mother!" "This vouna lady has lost neroany, Jimmie," said the tall woman, Kinuiy Perhaps it a the one vou ve found. Tininiie's face brightened. He stole a glance at Meg, remembering she had snoken to him. He turned into the house, and led the wav upstairs. Hera a somebody come lor tnat baby!" he announced, gruttly. He threw the door open, ana mi mediately got behind it, from whence he could easily observe tne proeeeu- ines: or escape, line snouiu uuu il prudent. "I thorn-lit somebody would come," eielnimed a drawling voice. I knew tho child would be called for. Nieevi .UnMv lulmitd to nii people!" The speaker rockea nerseii in "w chair. Her hair was in papers, nnd tihe wore a pink wrapper. In her lap .. f, ... ..... lay an embroidered uuy, m men took languid st itches. It may be re- orilcd bore that Meg cave up tidies from that dav.

Youth's Companion. AN INVOLUNTARY CHASE. How a Main Soldier Cot a Dinner of Roast Coos. A man who was caught in the act of skinning a neighbor's sheep cover ed his embarrassment by declaring hat no, sheep could bite him and liv. The logic of this, sa's the louttas Companion is equaled by that of the Yankee soldier, who once had a nar row escape from an enraged gander. The man of a certain Maine regiment. which was in the enemy's country in 1 802, considered the order "on forag ing" an additional and uncalled for hardship. One afternoon about dusk a soldier was seen beating a rapid re treat from the rear of a farm-house near by, closely pursued by a gander, with wings outspread, whose feet seamed scarcely to touch the ground, and from whose beak issued a suc cession of angry screams. The fugitive was not reassured by the cries ol tho gander's owner, "Hold on, man, hold on! lie won t nun you:" "Call oft your gander! Call him ofl!" shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither man nor gander stoppea until inside the camp lines, when the soldier's friends relieved him of his fierce pursuer with the aid of the butt of a musket. "Did that cander think he could chase me like that and live?" the sol dier exclaimed, as he surveyed the outstretched bird; but be said noth ing of the baited hook, with the cod- line attached, which might have thrown light on the unfortunate gander's strange actions. Toilets In Japan. This is the way a Japanese belle takes a bath, according to a travel er: The pretty little maiden lit the stove under the bath, got down her little bag of bran, and laid ready her best kimono and her new obi. By this time the water was boiling, or nearly so, in the cedar tub, she took away the stove, threw some of the water over her,sat on the floor beside the bath, scrubbed herself with bran, deluged herself with water again, and then for two mhiules in she went, scattering the drops all over her with her wooden dipper. But there was no time to waste even over the delights of the bath; her hair had to be redone, and this took some time, for our niusumi was a Kvoto girl, and Kyoto girls are not only the prettiest but the best turned out girls in all japan, so sue was not satislied with her tire-woman until her black locks shone like silk and her coiffure a la Fuiisan was as stiff as camellia oil could make it. And, after her hair was done, it took her some time to arrange her obi it would not come right: first it insisted on tying itself into a crooked knot instead of a beautiful butterfly bow: when the knot had been smooth' ed out and by chance it sat straight it was too flat and not still enough. However, a Japanese girl does not know how to lose her temper, not even over her most irritating obi, and at last, coaxed with showers ot laKghter- and suptle hands, it sets as it should; her breakfast does not tat long, and then she runs over the mats, slips the cord of her sandals V"tweea her big toe and number two, clatters down the street. kv.d New Varieties of Oranges. It seems strange sometimes to meet people wiio believe that the world has readied its highest state of develop ment. The trouble with such people is that they are not capable of conv Drehendins anything greater. The Riverside Phoenix seems to stand in this light regarding the orange indus try when it advises its readers not to experiment with new varieties of oranges, claiming that the varieties now grown will be hard to improve up on and that they had hotter leave well enoimh alone. .Such advice a hundred years ago might have been more es disable, but in this age when horticul ture is making such gigantic strides, it border inion the absurd. Even while tho article referred to was being writ ten. a new variety of orange came to the surface, tho "Joppa," which bids fair to soon supplant some of our standard sorts. In ten years nearly till of our orchards may be rebudded to more delicious and profitable sorts and the time will probably come hen we will have orumrea riK"ning every month in the year. True hottietil. turists believe in tho possibilities: of kindly nature, ulaco no limit upon the future eviellcncn of varieties ol trim.
