HE IS A DECIDEDLY INTERESTING LITTLE ANIMAL Agile and Graceful In Ma Mare- inenta, Intelligent and Rather Dalin.. ea-, Too, feud Not at All VIelouU In Ms Disposition. The common little house mouse is p sob - ably the lest known wild animal in Ametiva. It is almost impossible to avoid learning something of the app ar- anee and habits of this little fellow, for aets as a private tutor on the sub ect iu almoet every hotteehold. - As few of us are fond enough of nai, hewever, pay strict attention whe he presents himeelf as an object less° brief description of his external app ar- epee may not bm out of place.. In a er- ten' quaint dictionary I once posse sed -the definition of "mouse" was given as ''a small rat,' and this is not such a 'very bad one, after all, except Ler the act that the reader is apt to be less familiar with the appearance of a rat thei a smeuse. The total length of the la ter animal is about OT4 inches, of which the tail takes up nearly one-half. His h -ad i•s longish and his nose sharp. His tars are large and erect, with very little air en either surface, His legs are sten ler, and his delicate little toes are proviled with sharp,. slightly hooked nails. is tail is round and tapering, scaly and ith a slight covering of shot hair. In c lor he is dusky gray above and ashy be- neath. His eyes and most of his wh sk- ees are black, and hl a front teeth are yellowish. Altogether he is a very dainty little fel- low, and if persons would only - sto to study him a little instead of them ing things- at him or calling in the cat e ery time ho puts in an appearance they would soon tied him a very intelligent and at- tractive companion. He is very a ile :eel graceful in his m6'6E:emits and no at rill vicious in disposition,. For some t me inlet I have bad a number of reic in captivity, and I find them very amu kog pets. _They will eat anything and ar so tame that they will take food from my hend or drink from a little vessel belt in al, lingers. They are most active at night, hut often play about in the ( ay - time.

After eating they wash, l themselves very rapidly with their ft ant Where there is ail abundance of ood reiee at a great deal, but they seem 1 tole to live on very little, and when once •ell eetalitiehed in a house they manner to el z along somehow. even if the provisOus are earefully locked up for months 1 t A livot.

When they al a few weeks olel. they begin to come ou of their hole to play about and see what be world is made of.

Masses of beautiful roses are very fash- ionable decorations for the newest toques and round hats. Venetian cloth in lovely tints of silver blue, opal gray fawn, tan, pansy and nmethyst shades is made up into elegant dress costumes with trimmings of No, p ten n 0, 01' gu p re yokes and silk em- bro1deries in _applique. There is a revival of black and white embroidery said to have been in vogue in Italy in the sixteenth century. The ara- besque and other designs in black are worked in stitches af great variety on linen batiste and chiffon. , Notwithstanding, all the rumors to the contrary, there is no doubt whatever that the diminutive fancy jackets in Eton, bo- lero, mikedo, Freneh guard and similar styles will be in marked favor for the spring aud summer seasons. The woo of velvet and chiffon ehoux rind rosettes gains in favor as tile gay, winter Beason adi-ances, anti when this mode of decoration is not carried to excess, as so many of our prominent fashions nee wont to be, it is a very effe0ive trimmiug.

Spring dwindling is the result usually of bad winter management. -Moth worms are often very destructive to empty combs in hives where the bees have died. Bees cease breeding ahnost entirely at the beginning of winter, and it is excep- tional if any brood comb is found dur- ing that season. - Combine- beekeeping with fruit grow- ing, and you can more easily procure Iwo crops from the same land. This double cropping requires no extra fer- tilizing. It sometimes happens, even though fall feeding may loave been given, that the colony has consumed its stores. by midwinter. When this is the case, candy feeding niust be resorted to. Honey improves with age. The older It is the finer the flavor. Extracted honey Is much easier kept than comb, as the latter is liable to get soiled and must he kept in tight cases. THE ART OF HAPPINESS. There are minor pleasures whose ef- fect is accumulative and which make up a happy life. Even in choosing to be miserable we are happy, since there is happiness in every net of choice. Among women the desire to work Is not so common that it should be dis- couraged. There is a great deal of difference be- tween a copy and an imitation. The misery children make for their parents is well known; the misery par- ents make for their children not so well. The two great sources of happiness are health of body and strength of mind. In reeipes for bnppiness goodness must alwAys be the prineipal ingredient. When people begin to be critical, they cease to ,leeeepleasant.--Sarah Grand is Saturday EvAning Post. - THE MOVING WORLD.
