THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY.

To return to yoate-day ?

With to-day. and cannot read
What lt strange, mysterious sijn-posts

And her heart upbraids hor sorely.

That she fairly might have won
So she'd like to turn her backward

An acceptable present for one little
girl to gn>e to another, or to give to
her own doll, is a doll's hammock.
Cut two otdongs of blue and white
narrow-strip bed ticking-, each as long
as necessary, according to the length
of the doll, and about half as wide as
the length.
Take the heaviest wool or worsted
of any preferred shade, and make,
say stripes along the white stripes of
the ticking, lted wool is cheerful and
durable. (jay the wool smooth and
straight aloug the white stripes aud
fasten it down with s'.anting stitches
of blue or yellow embroidery silk.
WJicu all the white stripes have thus
been covered, lay the two oblongs to-
gether wrong side out, and stitch
across the ends. Turn the right side
out and stitch again, thus making a
sort of hem or shirr, wide enough to
run in a piece of whalebone or heavy
bonnet wire.
Turn in the edges of the sides.
Haste together smoothly.
Then with the worsted make a fringe
along the two double edges. This is
done by threading a needle double and
pulling the worsted through the tick-
ing, leaving the loops as long as you
wish the fringe to bo, say about two
iuches. though some dolls like to have
their hammock fringe throe inches
deep. Take another stitch—a sort of
buttonhole stitch—in the same place
to secure the worsted; then set a fresh
stitch, as before, next to the first one,
fastening it iu the same way; this
leaves the worsted in a succession of
loops. When this has been done
along both edges of the hammock, the
loops must be cut The fringeis then
complete.
In the hems run pieces of wire or
whalebone, not as wide as the cloth,
which is thereby left somewhat
shirred or gathered. Fas ton the ends
of the bones stoutly to the ticking.
Now thread red cord into a big needle
and sew it in single all along the
ends, one inch apart, passing the
needle inside the "stretcher" of wire
or bone Cut it off at each stitch
leaving the two ends six or seven
inches long Gather up the cords of
each end and tie them into a brass
ring. Now the hammock is complete.
A couple of hooks in a corner of the
play room will suffice to hang it on,
or a cord fastened to each ring will
enable you to swiug your doll ham-
mock between two chairs or to a low
branch of a tre^ in summer time.
If you wish to have the hammock
very, very complete, make a gay little
pillow of silk stuffed with cotton and
tie it in at one end.—Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
A Studio .Squirrel.
Jumbo was the cross st little model
I had ever known. He scolded con-
tinually aud all my efforts to sooth
him were in vain. Even sugar seemed
to sour his disposition lie scolded
when eating and when not eating. If I
placed anything near his cage, he
would jump to the wires—still slid-
ing—as though ho meant to break
them. Only a few days before I bought !
him he was a free squirrel, leading a
rollicksome life in the woods. What
wonder ho was indignant at finding
himself a prisoner!
Well, one afternoon I opened his
cage door and offered him the freedom
of my studio, of course expecting to
have a very lively scene. Visions of
upset vases, broken windows and gen
eral disorder stimulated my curiosity.
I wanted to see just how much mis-
chief he could do. The cage door
Ofiened, Jumbo leaped nimbly to the
floor, and surprised me by behaving in
the gentlest uiauner possible!
After he had run about for a little
while I reached for a paper bag of
hickory nuts lying near me. Jumbo
ran forward immediately, jumped into
my lap, took a hickory-nut from my
fingers and hid it under the bookcise.
Standing up, I shook the bag quite !
briskly; in a moment Jumbo was run-
ning up my side to my shoulders, and ,
again took a nut from iny fingers, j
N <w he did not scold at all, but was I
perfectly amiable—truly a strong con- '
trast to his former self. He kept tak- \
ing nuts from me until almost every |
corner of the studio contained one.
finally a rug in the middle of the
floor struck him as the best place un-
der whioh to hide them, and the man- i
ner in which he patted the rug down |
after hiding each nut was very comi- j
oal.
Uc grew tired of this fun at last, '
and, jumping into my lap again,
looked into the bag, and, I think,
concluded it was too much work to
conceal all the rest, for he patted the
paper down over the nuts, aSd started
on a tour around the room. Unfor-
tunately I opened the bag to take
another nut out for him, and, hearing
the noise, he ran swiftly to me, and,
seeing the paper bag open, bit ray
hand. I jumped up and ran across
the studio with the bag, but he was
after me. As quickly as I could I
dropped the bag upon the table, and
then the angry little fellow was satis-
fied
After this he pattered around the
room at his own sweet will, examin-
ing chairs and tables, occasionally
stopping to give an extra pat to the
rug under which most of his nuts wore
hidden.—St Nicholas
I<ong Journey for a Hollar.
Professor Mendenhall, the head of
the United States coast survey and a
scientist of world-wide reputation, dis-
covered his special mental bent in a
curious way, says Washington- He
was the son of a farmer iu a Western
village. One dav, when he was about
fourteen years old, a man from another
township bought a cow of his father,
who, not wishiug to be troubled with
delivering the animal himself, said:
"My son, I will give you a dollar to
drive that cow to X for me."
"How far is it?" asked the boy.
"Twenty-five miles by the road you
would have to take."
The distance looked long, but the
dollar looked big. A bargain was
struck on the spot and the next morn-
ing before daylight the farmer's son
started on his journey. He reached
his destination by night, very tired;
but before going to bed ho happened
to notice in a corner of the sitting-
room of the house in which ho was to
lodge a well-worn copy of "Euclid."
A glance inside of the book fascinated
the youngster, who sat up most of the
night, in spite of his day's tramp,
pouring over the angles and areas,
sines and tangents. He resolved he
must have that book. The next morn-
ing he said to the master of the house:
'What will you take for your
Euclid'?''
"I suppose it's worth a dollar," was
the answer.
Down wentyoung Mendenhall's hand
into his pocket, out came the dollar
which he had so bravely earned, ani
the next minute he was the owne- of
the book, which he carried tenderly
under his arm as he trudged home.
That was the opening suggestion of
a career in science of which any man
might be proud.
Sheridan an a Hoy.
Congressman Tom Campbell relates
the following sketch, told to him by
the late General Phil Sheridan.
"When Phil Sheridan was 18 years
old the congressman in his dis-
trict, in Perry county, Ohio, the place
of Phil's birth, had an elephant on his
hands in the shape of a West Point
cadetship to give away.
"The Democratic chairmen of five
counties each had applicants to urge,
and to each the congressman was
under equal obligations. Hut to recog-
nize one was to offend the other four.
One day the congressman was walk-
ing aloug the country road, near Som-
erset, revolving the problem in his
mind, when he met Farmer Sheridan,
with whom he was slightly acquainted.
"Good morning, congressman," said
Mr. Sheridan.
"Good morning," was the reply.
When he had gum* a few paces he
stopped suddenly and called out:
"By the way, Mr. Shcridau, how
many boys have you?"
"I have two fine boys, your honor,"
was the reply, "Mike and Phil."
"How would you like to have one
of them sent to West Point for a mil-
itary education at the government's
expense?"
"Well," replied Mr. Sheridan slowly,
"they are both a help, but I wouldn't
mind."
"All right, which one shall I take?"
"Depends," was the reply. "Mike's
the smartest; he's got a head for
learning, but if you want a fighter I
reckon Phil is the one you want."
And that was how Phil Sheridan
got an education at West Point
When the (aoose llonkt High.
Wild geese, when migrating in aut-
umn, form into lines shaped similar to
the letter V, the leader takes his piano
at the p~int where the two lines meet,
the wo lines following as they sail
away, far above the trees and beyond
all danger of guns. They all see n
full of glee and join in a chorus that
sounds very much like honk, honk,
honk. Anyone who has heard these
curiously sounding notes can never
forget them In former times those
who heard them realized the happi-
ness of the winged creatures in being
so high and safe and it became a mat-
ter of course when two persons met
each other under peculiarly favorable
circumstances for this or that enter-
prise to saw "Everything is lovely
aud the goose honks high."
