.It was exasperating. Little 'laugh -
ler sat on the floor of the sewing room
rurrounded by a litter of gay -colored
Pieces of cloth from mother's piece
bag; spools of silk and thread and
twist unwound and tangled, colored
outtons of every sire and shape; and
glittering array of pins, needles and
scissors.
"Naughty girl!" said the little one's
mother as she gathered up the dime
tiered mass. "Yesterday you took all
the tin plates and covers from the pan-
try shelf, and the day before•you pull-
ed the ribbons out of mother's bureau
drawer. You're a naughty girl!"
Little daughter's baby brow pucker-
ed in a puzzled frown, her mouth
drooped in hurt lines, and two big
tears spilled from her blue eyes.
"I'm not naughty!" little daughter
cried; and she was right. To be
naughty—to do wrong willfully—was
furthest from her thought. When she
balanced herself upon a step -ladder
and carefully lifted off the saucepans,
the plates, the cooky cutters and the
bowls from her mother's immaculate
shelves, and when she piled ribbons in
a, colorful heap on her mother's
bureau, or delved into the depths of
piece bag, work -basket and button box,
eh.e had but one impulse in mind, and
it was not willful mischief but mere-
ly the instinct to educate herself
through her sense of tou.cb,
As she fumbled with the scraps of
velvet, linen, woollen or cambric and
crumpled them in her eager little fin-
gers, she was experiencing new sen-
satiens—those of roughness, smooth-
ness, softness and stiffness. The tele-
graph wires at her nerves carried
them to her brain, which registered
them there and so helped her to thunk
More clearly.
'Those fascinating, shiny tin uten-
sils in the pantry had interested the
little girl because of their, form. Some
were round and sone' were square;
some were thick and some were thin;
some Were sleep and some were shal-
low. As the child had taken each
from its shelf, she•had run her Anger
round its edge, felt of it, learned its
form; and looking out of the pantry
window from her perch on the step-
ladder, she discovered, suddenly, that
the garden gate was square, that the
maple tree beside it had a curved con-
tour, and that up in the sky hung a
cloud that looked like a big, shallow
bowl.
11 her mother had asked little
daughter what she saw when she
looked out of the window, and wiry she
liked to handle the ribbous and the
pans, she would not have been able to
pot her answer Into words, But she
did subconsciously resent—and so
does every child—being. taken to task
for trying to educate herself.

Shrink Cotton Goods.
It always pays to shrink cotton ma-
terial before making up. In fact, it is
the only practical thing to -.do, It is
hard enough to keep up with growing
girls without having the material
shrink. Put a largo handful of barrel
salt in -a dishpan of cold water and lay
the material in it without unfolding,
Keep turning until it is thoroughly
saturated, then allow it to remain for
half an hour. Squeeze out as much
water as possible by rolling in the
hands, but do not wring. Hang on a
broom stick, laid over the backs of
two chairs, or outside on the clothes
line in a shady spot. Do not string
it along on the line, but keep it in the
folds, though of course they eau be
opened up a little. Keep turning from
one side to the other until about half
dry. Roll up for a few minutes and
then iron with a moderately hot Iron.
If the material gets too dry, sprinkle,
roll up and leave until evenly dampen-
ed again. It is really the steam that/
does the shrinking and unless ironed
when quite dannp,. the shrinking pro-
cess is net complete. That's the reny
eon you often hear women say that
gingham shrinks the second and third
time.
For white material, lay then in the
dishpan (and he very sure there are
no rust spots in it), pour boiling water
over it and allow it to stand until the
water is cold. Squeeze as dry as pos-
sible and roll up in a heavy bath
towel. Leave it for un hour and then
iron with a real hot iron. If you fol-
low these directions, you need never
worry over a new garment shrinking
the first time it is laundered.

Ilie voice sounded strange to. him
in the quiet of the empty, snow-eov-
ered country. He tpndged medheni-
eally forward, his hands, thickly mit-
tened and encased in leathern pull-
overs, clumsily clutching the reins
and whip—hath' awake and half asleep
from the all-pervading stillness, the
monotony, and the numbing cold,
Prom the distance came the mouth-
ful howl of a coyote. Jack fell into
a kind of daydream, as his thoughts
went idly backward, to that terrible
night of his first winter on the prole+
le, when he had batched it, while set-
ting up a home for Nether.
.x „ m e
P:ven as on the homesteads of his
few and widely -separated neighbors,
the little shack on the hillside of the
prairie wilderness was, at that time,
the sole evidence of human occupa-
tion of his acres of solitude, As one
of his nearest companions, a huge,
uncouth Icelander, had crudely but
truthfully expressed it, "no barn, no
hay, no stock, no nothing."
Leaving ‘town, on foot as usual,
rather late one afternoon that winter,
dusk fell while he had still a mile to
go to reach his shack. It began to
snow and a soft, fleecy, wvhite mistcame down, making it ,impossible to
steer a straight course. Darkness
very soon set in and for hours he
wandered in the falling snow, follow-
ed by a coyote, which had been at-
tracted by the smell of the bacon he
waft carrying home. How distinctly
he remembered plunging again and
again tin the•direction of those two
gleeming, little' lights, shouting as
loudly as possible—hoping to get rid

forcing himself to be patient, and
this time he succeeded 1111 closing the
.collar so. that the ox could pull. •
Off again! At last he was at tbe
top of the hill, where he stopped to
let the oxen get their. wind, 'before
turning from the :road toward his
homestead.
But the little black ox was now
nearly exhausted, ; and would not•
start the load again. The pace 'at
which Jack ked driven hint, the storm,
the clutching'•' heavy sue}v, stud. at

their work, and he refused to budge;
Jack flogged the team and urged
the beasts with shouts and encour-

If weariness overcame him, he would

cases had he not heard of round
about, that cruel winter!
Every now and then he had stop-
ped and shouted with all his might,
every nerve strained to catch an ans-
wering sound. Silence—complete,
profoundest silence alone had re-
warded his efforts.
At last he had given it up and bad

placed him to warm himself before
their stove, while he told his story.
They had not liked to go to bed
without first showing a Light, for
they fancied they. had heard shouts
•and seeing the thick night, felt that
perhaps some one was actually lost
in their neighborhood. They slept
warm that night, for there had been

Jack started suddenly from his re-
verie. The trail! Dismay gripped
him hard, as he realized that it was
no longer beneath his feet. Before
falling into his reverie he had had to
keep pulling the oxen to make them
stay on it and face he storm and-,
where was it now? Great Scott!
Where was it now?
How long he had left it, he had not
the faintest idea. A feverish search
to windward soon discovered what
Jaele thought must be the trail. Once
more, he. started the stumbling oxen
upon it, fervently praying that it
might indeed be the right one. •
"Come on, boys; we'll do it yet," he
cried gaily to the oxen shortly after-
ward, greatly cheered by some fami-
liar signs close by, which were re-
vealed by the momentary lifting of
the curtain of snow.
"If the wind doesn't change, but
still keeps the trail faintly visible,
we may manage it," he soliloquized,
"but if not, the team will blunder on
before the storm. They'll get stuck
in the deep snow of some hollow and

tations, there is always a fire, the em•
hers of which are never allowed to
become extinguished. Every one of
their rude dugout canoes has In the
middle a clay floor, on which a fire
burns or smolders.
At night those primitive people, in
case of alarm, burn signal fires on-tlhe
mountain tops, and in. the daytime the
salve fires, supplied with green wood,
send up columns of smoke which, be-
ing made intermittent by smothering
the column with a skin blanket at in-

Morse code.
This is the most atnclent of all means
of distributing intelligence, and since
prehistoric times has been employed in
many parts of the world. Modern
science has devised no more effective
method of attracting attention and
sending news over a wide extent of
country. It is thought that these sig-
nal beacons suggested to Magellan
the name Tierra del Fuego.
The natives are among the lowest of
savages. They have no permanent
homes, peeving from one place to an-
other as often as the local food supply
is exhausted Lind spenbiug much of
their lives in their canoes. It is said
that, when other provender is net'ob-
tainable, they eat the old women, af-
ter stifling them humanely in the
smoke of a greenwood fire.
The Hien da not average more than
five feet in height, but are powerfully
built; tate women ure equally muscu-
lar. They have a singularly brutal ap-
pearance, with no foreheads to speak
of, their hair coming down nearly to
the eyebrows. Both sexes go almost
naked, a shin hung on the windward
side, being considered a sufficient pro-
tection even in the worst weather of
that frigid latitude.
Nevertheless, they have their special
accomplishments. They possess amaz-
ing skill ins throwing stones, flinging
them with either hand and with great
force and accuracy of aim. No other
people in the • world equal them in
,marksmanship with that ancient in-
strument of warfare, the sling.
Their food is derived chiefly from
the sea, and for the catching of fish
they employ as helpers small clogs of a
breed unknown anywhere else. The
animals are white and woolly, with
brownish spots, and remarkably intel-
ligent, In recent years some of them

Chinese Fighting Crickets.
The Siamese Lighting lish ie not the
only creature whose natural pugueelte
is turned to account to satisfy tine re-
prehensible passion of the Celestials
for gambling. Crickets are popular
throughout all China, not only for
their song but for the agiiting matches
in which they are eaCeyecl aga!nst.one
another by enthusiastic gamblers who
bet large sums oC money on the cham-
pions of such contests, The London
Field prints a letter from an English
lady who lived for many years in Can-
ton that describes such a "sportive
gathering. • !..
As we approached the field where it
took place, she writes, we saw crowds
of men standing about some sheds
erected an the spot. On entering the
largest we saw a raised platform On
which same nteu sat behind a counter,
who weighed the crickets and the dol-
lars, recorded bets, received the
money laid, by both sides on each
match, and paid the winner of each
particular fight.. In the shed numbers
of Wren had gathered, each holding in
Itis hand a little round earthenware
basin, covered with a cloth, which con-
tained fighting crickets.
We next entered one 01 the smaller
mat sheds and stow] by a round table.
Two mein had come in from the large
tent, each having a little earthenware
bowl in his band, and, after they had
uncovered then and examined the
two occupants to be stu'e that they
were their own crickets, the chirping
combatants were put into an earthen-
ware bowl on the table. The two men
held small feather pencils in their
hands by which they stirred sip and
enraged tbe belligerents, and the fight
began.
The crickets walk round and round
the bowl at first, then rush at each
other with such violence that they
are often thrown an their backs. They
fight generally with great spirit and
often lose legs and wings in the con-
test, but should one cricket run away
from its opponent three tines in suc-
cession the umpire declares it to he
defeated. When they die, the success-
ful crickets are placed in tiny silver
coffins and are buried secretly by their
owners on the hills, with the hope that
the spirit of the departed insects will
go into the bodies of the crickets

"Ordeal of the Gloves."
Among the Mundurucus no youth is
considered to have attained the dig-
nity of manhood until he has endured
the "ordeal of the gloves." In that
country there Is a hind of ant, as big
as a waste and quite a5 venomous;
likewise another species, known as
the "fire ant," whose bite feels like a
red-hot needle piercing the flesh. Two
bamboo tubes are closed at one end
and into each of theta a number of
these poisonous ants are put. Then
the tubes, called "gloves" by courtesy,
are tied upon the arms of. the young

an object of derision to the girls; but,
if he endures the Agony without wino-
ing, his promotion to the rank of war-
rior is accomplished.
All over that part of South America,
the "blowgun" is the favored weapon
of the chase. The stalk of a young
'palm, or a particular species, is taken,
about ten feet in length, and split. in
two lengthwise. the pith beteg re-
moved. Tben the halves are secnrely
bound together, providing an instru-
ment of remarkable lightness with a
smooth and polished bore. The pro-
jectiles employed are made from the
leaf-stallcs of another kind of palm,
sherpenecl at the point and` wrapped
about the middle with silk-cotton, ob-
tained from a tree.
The dart thumformed is introduced
into the tube like a carriage, filling•
the bore, so that a puff of breath
