I do not know who conceived the idea that the heed of the gray sauirrel family should be called John Bushtail. but it 1s a very good name for him. John Bushtail wanders round Insect- ville, and &s he Is not & disturber of insect peace they do not mind his pres- ence. Bo not think from this that he is not ® ferror to some one, for on _this bright June morning hehad come down from a hickory tree in which he had eggs for breakfast. John is very fond of fresh eggs in summer, ¥ he does depend upon nuts for his reserve food in the cooler months; and he takes eggs wherever he finds them. He likes to frolic in the low shrubbery near the ground when there are no gunners or bad boys around to menace him. The foot of the hickory tree is one of the places where the Luna moths spend the winter in their silken cocoons, or sleeping bags, among the leaves. They are called Luna, after Diana, who was once regarded as the Goddess of the Moon, and was called Lupa, or Queen of the Night. Because they have the owl-like habit of sleep- ing days and flying nights, these moths were given this name. The Lunas had heard the call to take wings and fly, and were up in considerable numbers getting ready to sail away on light wings, when the sun_ should go down. This is a wonderful sight, so it is not strange the appearance of the moths interested the Bushtails, The J.una moths have follage-green w Wwith a purpie tippet and a white mantle, and as they sit in the sun gotting form and color and strength they look as one might imegine fair- ies loolk. Mrs. John Bushtail rather envied them their dress, although her own silvery gray is a protection to her as well as a winter coat, Bhe asepated this little goddess of the night, say- ing: !‘Who are you and where are yeu going?

New Orleans molasses, 1 heapin, of lard, i-2 teaspoon each .of cinna- mon and ginger, 1 rounding teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, 1 cup of boiling water and pastry flour enough to make a drop batter; pour into a well greased shallow pan and bake in a moderate oven. When mother came home she thought I had done well for my first cake: but I made one mistake, I didn’t put the molasses in until last, and it was a little tough. I hope some of the Wide-Awakes 'will try it and have better luck ‘than I did. v FLORENCE A. WHYTH, Age 9. Scotland. £ Trix. Dear Uncle Jed: I have a lttle dog named Trix. He s yellow and white.

Déar Uncle Jed: I thought I would write and tell you of my trip to Flor- ida. We started in January, taking the train at l.ebanon station for New London and when we got there we took a boat for New York. We passed under Brookiyn bridge about 5 o'clock in the morning and were soon in. New York. ‘Wo then went to our steamer, the Rio Grande, bound for Brunswick, Ga. We were on the ocean three days and I was sick two days. The stew- ardess would mot let us have milk or butter when we were sick, so she would bring us tea without milk and toast without butter. Weo arrived at Brunswick Sumday morning and teok the train for Jack- sonville. It was very warm and we had en our thick winter clothing, so We were too warm. : After we had left Brunswick, we saw lots of palmetto trees. We arrived at Jacksonville about noon and got lunch, and then started for Kissimmee. We got there about $ o'clock at night and went to @ hotel. The next morning when we wolke up, we hesrd the birds singing and saw the sun shining and all the flow- ers and trees, we could hardly believe it was January. EDNA CALKINS, Kissimee.

BREHAUT, Age 15. Locust Valley, L. L How Rabbits Should Be Cared For. Dear Uncle Jed: Perhaps scme of the Wide-Awakes would like to keep rabbits. That must be well consid- ered, because they must be properly fod and kept clean. They are very pretty and tame little friends, Qut the are not pleasant-smelling too near a house where veople live. They must be fed well with garden plants fhat they like, a little bram, a few oats, some good hay and to make them fat a little oilcake. Be sure you do not make them too fat; they are not wholesome food if they are. Feeding them too much one day and forgetting the next.to feed them at all wiil not do. They will die and be a (lose of all the money paid for them. The proper food and. the regular times for giving it must always be thought of. When the young ones are tiree months old they should be ready to sell. They will not pay If they are not. In winter they must be kept warm, and certainly dry and clean. Mind that cats or rats do not get intq the rabbit hutch. The cat will kill the rab- bits and eat them; rats will eat the young ones, and the food of the old ones. TFeed the rabbits morning and eve- ning. Put a pinch of galt in the bran now and then. Young omes just weag- ed should rot have much green food; bran, oats and hay mostly for tnem is the best.
