Wet wraps were left In the kitchen, and then the children trooped out to the great, roomy shed, Dorothy's father was a ship -builder and in his leisure ho often worked upon ,some small boat in the shed. So when the guests came out, they saw first a nice, wa'rnl stove i11 one corner, in which; birch bark was snapping comfortably; next, the good-sized body of a sailboat, resting on blocks to the inside of which led a short step -ladder. In the boat were stools and cush- ions, and on its deck sat Dorothy's whole family of dolls in holiday dress. '1'ho girls danced about and exam- ined all the good Dints f the craft P n ca and said there tuns almost water enough outside to sail it, The logs of wood had been rolled up in such a way as to make a gradual Right of stairs to the top. of the wood -pile, where a fiat board was standing. Hach guest was asked to run up the stairs and drive a nail ie the hoard. There was a prjze, in the shape of a ulainty birch -bark bon - hon box tied with baby ribbon, for the one who could drive a nail with- out "striking off." There were whole barrels of clean white shavings, front which they picked the longest and arranged un their he for c ads o curls. At four o'clock came the refresh- ments, part of width was ice-cream served in little birch -bark cups. But best of all -a surprise for !Dor- othy, too -was when Me, Spear came out with a tray, on Which wero eleven little boats -perfect modals of a brig* with all sails sat, and ropes yard -arms, anchor and cabins all in correct position. Or, the stern of each boat was painted in tiny let- ters the name of the little guest for whom it was intended. "Such a lovely time!" they all said, as they bado Do^ot.hy good- night.

But It was not till 1Ile general of- ficers made a trip of inspection over the lino that the full results of her administration became known. The station at Summit was found to Le the best kept in Indiana. A little inquiry resulted in the in- formation that tho station had ceas- ed to be a lounging place; that there had been no rowdyism since Miss Catharine .Dicks hod taken charge; that the floors and benches were al- ways clean, and that the station had become as orderly and well kept as any private house in the town. Prior to that time trips of inspec- tion had consisted of a scurrying along the lino with stops only at the large cities, and it was at the sug- gestion of 0110 of the Indiana offi- cials that the general officers stop- ped at Summit. Miss Dicks was net expecting them, and had not made preparations to receive them, but the station flooes were free from stains, the stove glistened with new polish, not a particle of dust was on the benches, and the private office of the agent was homelike and inviting. The other women agents have been appointed since then, and the offi- cials have found that the good re- sults of the change have been the sane in every case. They have also learned that sho women have greater tact in handling people than their male predecessors 'displayed and few- er complaints have come i1•oni their stations. 1t is also said that passenger traf- fic has greatly Increased from these four points -and especially during the summer season when excursion trains ere run, the women taking more Pains and showing more en- ergy in working up crowds than did the men. The salary of the woman station agent is from $40 to $50 a month. Miss Dicks is now learning tele- graphy, anti will soon get an in- crease in salary as a telegraph op- erator. BABY -S OWN TABLETS.

Some few years ago in the London streets large numbers of Italian boys with sad, lustrous eyes, were to be islet with playing acordeons and bog- ging for pence, The children wore picked up in the Italian villages anti brought over to this country by pa - drones who livotl on thole earnings, and oho frequently beab them and depriveti them of food if their tak- ings were shall, The rev. Father llannin, of the Italian church, Hatton Garden, ex- plained how this traffic, which laid itself open to grave abuses, has at last been killed. Owing to reproseil- tations oracle by the priests and others to the Italian, Clovernmeut, orders wero given to sho authorities at the seaports and frontier towns that the childecu should sot be al- lowed to depart unless it could be ehoivil that .they were proeeedhng to relatives ill this C01111Lr,y. This regulation stopped the regular traf- fic. But it was the English law which cOnipellydl all children under the age of fourteen to attend school Which dealt the teethe afanal blow. The pada One found that it was useless to smuggle the boys over if he could not send them out on the streets. The number of boys over fourteen years of age who now go out with musical 11St.ruh1c11t5, under a padl.rone is very small. HOW ELS];? fpgardabai.-Where duel Throgsol) first meet his wife?

This supe•htition and the arrival within a year of a bushel or so of Opals from Australia, unsurpassed in color, had a tendency to lower the price of these lovely gems, and so dealers wore willing to dispose of their stock for less than their lsnst, Ono imvellor in London, who for- merly sold e good many, refuses to keep them any longer. "T haven't an opal In the place," said he, ".Mind, I'm not in the feast affected by this idea of opals bring- ing bad luck, for 1 love the stones, and wonlcl as Well have an opal on my finger as a diamond; but they are running down in value and have few buyers, so that it does not pay to keep thele. WANT TO CTTANC.1r) THEM. "Tlesidcs, women come back with opal rings and pins that I sold them years ago, and demand to change thont for something else, because in the meantime their eats have died, or their babies have had croup, or their neighbors have expressed horror at their temerity in wearing a forbid- den pent. "In ocher words, they want to ex- change worn and unsaleable goods for things that are newer and more valuable, and in cases where they are good customers 1 Neve to subs dt to it." Ono man took the opal out of his ring and smashed it to atoms with a hatchet because he had tailed in business. While Sir Walter Scott did some- thing to give the opal a hail name by his account of it in "Ano of Geierstele," it was held in distrust long before his time. It was considerably in use in 'Venice at the tine of the plague, and it was noticed there in the hospitals that before death the stone would sometimes brighten on the victims finger. .itv r nee seemed to occur t0 the people that the illness could produce the glow of color; they took it for granted that the stone occasioned the fitness. WILY COLORS ALTER. As a matter of fact, opals are af- fected by heat, even by that of the hand, and the fever, being at its height Just before death, caused the colors to shine with: unwonted clear - sass. This condrnlud the Superstition, and to this clay there are sane an.el able-bodied people who believe that a chip of stone in the house can n k cense calamities. Sometimes it seems as if mankind Thad not gone far bayonet its swad- dling clothes as yet, Probably another reason t'or the distrust excited in opals is the fact that they change and lose their col- or. This had its cause in t,He''softness and porus nature of the material, and its capacity both for absoruil)g water and for parting with what it has, one of which transfosumtions tends to 11010) le dull, the other chalky and opaque. A GYMNASTIC MARVEL. Thera are optical illusions of all varieties. Some aro due to mirage, and some are not. A little boy who was drilling a squad of classmates at recess found difficulty in getting them to march properly. "Lift your right leg!" he called. "Lift. your right leg!" Things wont very well until Patsy Hennessy forgot and lifted his left leg, which happened to be clad in trousers exactly Iike those of the boy next him, who was obedient in holding up his right leg, The drillmaster stopped aghast, "You can't do that, Pat Hennessy!" ho called. "You're holding up both legs!" WRONG SORT. Perhaps plain Old Meat, Potatoes and Bread May be Against You For a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed.

The Devonshire Whooping Cough Cure Is Highly Original, The other day an aged dame ap- peared at a London Police Court in great distress.
