UNCLE JED'S TALK AWAKES. This week Uncle J=d has planned a Brehaut page made up wholly of the letters in hand which have been writ- ten by these sisters, who are very nearly of an age. They have sent to the Wide-Awake department every week for mearly three years from four to six letters each week, and as our rule is to use only one each week you can imagine what a big pile of letters from them Uncle Jed has on hand. He wishes to say their letters are 80 handsomely and carefully written and so well punctuated that they re- quire very little editing. The variety of subjects is simply amazing, and there is no doubt the Misses Brehaut are well informed ypon a great many subjects. 1 TO WIDE- AND GIRLS' DEPARTMENT ! These letters have not been selected with & view of culling the best from | the pile, but simply to show the va- riety of subjects théy cover. As a special reward Uncle Jed wiil send these young ladies this week spe- cial prizes as a recognition of their loyalty and ability. They have the honor of having won ‘more books than any other two Wide- Awakes, and have earned a library of their own. THE INDIAN BOATS. My Indian stories will be confined to events of one kind or another, true in their details as I remember them, but without refergnce to time or chrono- logical order. One of the first objects that attracted my attention the day we landed from the Mississippi river steamer and I had an opportunity to observe my surroundings was the large number of Indian boats drawn out of the water on the shore. I had never seen one be- fore, but had read about them. They were made from the trunk of trees. ‘We often read that the Indian’s boat is made of the bark of the white birch tree. That may be true where the In- dian has to “tote” his boat at times around falls or rapids. The truth is I never saw but two birch bark canoes in all my experience with the real In- dian, and that life was counted by years. The boats I saw were manufactured expressly for a purpose, and the In- dians "told me they would not do for the heavy rivers and lake work as well as the log canoe. The wooden canoe is not heavy, but is very serviceable. These are made in different sizes and can “be sent along very fast by the use of a paddle. When alone, the Indian sits in the bo®tom of the boat just back of the cenfer. If there are both men and women in the boat, you may be sure the squaws are doing the work. R MOTHER WILSON.

The camel is an animal mon in Arabia and Asia the “landship” and the “carrier of the desert.” It is six or seven feet high, and is exceedingly strong, tough and enduring of labor. Its feet are con- structed with a tough elastic sole, which prevents it from sinking in the sand, and on all sorts of ground it is very surefooted. The Arabian camel has one hump on its back, bhut the Asian camel has two. The camel has cells to contain an extra provision of water: the supply when these are filled will last for many days: while he traverses the desert. His food is coarse leaves, twigs and thistles, which he prefers to- the ten- derest grass, and on which he per- forms the longest journeys. About a pcund of dates, beans or barley will serve for 24 hours. The camel kneels to receive its load, which varies from 500 to 1.200 pounds. It utters loud cries of anger and.im- patience and is often stupid. Its mi.k has been to the Arabs an important article of food. Out of its hair they manufacture carpets, tent cloth, and large sacks for corn. very com- It is called Of its skin they make huge water | bottles, ropes. Its average rate of travel is about two and one-third miles an hour. LILLIAN M. BREHAUT. A Blind Lady. It was a beautiful June day in Sweden. People were busy preparing for midsummer’s day, as they were to have a great feast. The streets were crowded. Several of the Swedish peo- ple gazed~at a tall man who wore a rough coat of many colors and a large black felt hat. He walked very fast. leather sacks, sandals and Joey Joy was down to the riverside on the morning flood of an August day and was interested in a trained seal which Bob the Gunner had and which he used to/let go hunting for fish, and would whistle ashore as he would & €og. The seal was swimming in the river and Bob the Gunner was walting for him to hunt his food and have his swim. This was before the day. of trained seals and sea lions in circuses. How Bob the Gunner came to have this young seal was that he shot and killed its mother and could not leave the baby seal to wander about and perish. He brought him home, taught him his name, Diver, to know his whistle, and to follow him. He kept him in an old boat filled with water in his barn, and it was a wonderful sight to see Bob's ‘“water dog” follow him to the river, enjoy an hour or more of freedom and then return to his“master and captivity. % It was on this day that Billy Bow and Johnny Snow, who were older boys than Joey, asked him if he did not want to go to the old swimming hole to swim. It was called “The Four Rocks,” although it is not apparent what these stones had to do with the little fresh water basin four miles from the river front where boys had gone to swim for generations. The boys started and when well into the country they invaded an orchard and stocked up with green fruit. The green-apple boy never seems to get any older and seldom dies. Then there was a two and a half mile walk across lean pastures—pas- tures redelent with Indian tobacco— an herb which most boys liked to chew —and the fragrant pennyroyal. About half way a stone wall had to be cross- ed at a point wher a big flat topped rook was the barrier-and on top of this rock was a strange impression which had for an age been known as a print of the devil's foot, and no boy ever crossed without spitting upon it for good 1 The path was so weil ‘worn that it was not easy to miss this «queer rock which called for this im- portant ceremony. . ‘The other three stones: were the I's pulpit, the Devil's den and at he Devil’'s basin, all of which the juvenile bathers used to thiak it-neces- sary visit.

It may be remarked that the Devil's Hopyard is in eastern Connecticut, whicl seems to indicate that he was more at home here than anywhere else in New Eng- land. And the Four Rocks swimming hole was always crowded when a dozen boys were there to dive from the bridge or its railing, or from the cul- vert which ran beneath the railroad track and was always full of water. It is doubtful if any boy ever tried to pass through this culvert, until Joey Joy saw it awd recogniz it as his stunt, and his dare to his companions to go through it met with no response. As no one else ventured, Joey ducked under and away he went. A short dis- tance seems like a long one when one must hold their breath to do it, or, falling, drown. It did not take more than a minute to accomplish the task, but a minute breathless seems almost an hour, and it seemed much more than that when Joey’s head emerged from the water with a snort that left no doubt he had with some difficulty come through safely. But Steve Thomas thought he could do the trick, too, and he went under and he was gone so long Joey Joy ran to the farther end of the cuivert and ducked in the water to spy and there was Steve out of breath, floundering in the tunnel—really drowning. Joey Joy stood up and taking a long breath went in and getting Steve by the halr he pulled hifm through and the boys got him up on the bank, where he lald prostrate- with his head downward till the water ran out of him befors he could make a sound and then it was a screech and a seb, for he r he had been nearly 1 wouldn't never gone under trere if I'd known you was golng to try it and get caught like this,” said Joey, “but I'm mighty glad I could get you out.” € Steve:did not know what to say. He forgot to say “Thank you!” but he did say: “T’ll never be such a durned fool as that again, you bet!” and he never was. Joey Joy used to go through the water tunnel once in a while because no other boy dared to try it; but no other boy ever came near being drowned UNCLE SAM, “Anders Jorn, you have failed said bitterly. “To come home from America with ten dollars in your Pocket, after so many years of labor!” He thought his mother and father were dead. were dead. Soon he arose and started down the hill. In the garden sat an old lady. She was blind, but was able to knit. She stretched out her hand to reach a beautiful rose. “Dear roses, how little Anders did love you!” she said. All of a sudden she heard footsteps. “It is Anders’ step!” she said. Soon Anders entered the garden and took her in his arms. His meother thought he had his pockets full of money. She felt his coat and thought it was made of gold. He did not know she was blind. Then she told him that some people had rented tHe farm. But she told An- ders that if he wanted to do some work he could hire some men and help them to work it properly. Anders did so, and he and his mother lived happy to- gether all the rest of their lives on their old farm. JESSIE L. BREHAUT. Winged Creatures of Borneo. . In Borneo winged creatures are en- countered where one would least ex- pect them. Flying fish, the size of herrings, are found in all the waters and there is the flying fox, the well known fruit eating bat, which the Ma- lays call “kruang.” They may be seen almost™any evening winging their steady flight often at a great elevation well out of range of a shotgun, The flving &quirrels, as evening twi- light comes, are also scen. They glide down from one lofty tree to the base of another, up which they scramble to the level they started from, Wide ex- pansions of skin between the fore and hind legs act in parachute fashion and sustain them in their glide. They are of some size, but are quite harmless. The flying lizard is seen In the heat of the day in the jungle gliding down with a flash in much the same /man- ner as the squirrel. But he is much smaller and it requires a quick eve to detect him. The natives kill him with a clay ball shet from their blow- pipes. waved his hat to George. LILLIAN BREHAUT. The Story of the Rhine Gold. Three gods of thé Northland once came to earth in disguise to hunt on the banks of the river Rhine. them was Wotan, father of the gods, and another was Loki, the god of fire. Loki speared an otter, and was skin- ning it, when a giant, Rodmar, came up and angrily told them that they had slain, not a real ‘otter, but his son, who had just taken an otter's shape. He demanded the price of his ‘blood—gold enough’ to fill the otter’'s skin. Loki went forth to search for gold. He captured a rich dwarf, and took from him as ransom a golden hoard which the dwarf had stolen from the fairies of the Rhine. But the dwarf in his wrath at his loss laid a curse upon whoever should possess the Rhine-gold. Loki only laughed at his cursing, re- turned to Rodmar, and covered the ot- ter’s skin with gold. He added to the gold the Turnhelm, a helmet that made its wearer invisible, and the Magic Ring that gave wealth to its owner, But the curse soon showed its magic power. Rodmar's sons, Fafnir and Regan, quarreled with their father and slew him, and then fought with one another for the Rhine-gold. Fafnir won it, and turning himself into a dragon, watched the hoard night and day. BREHAUT. LILILIAN The Trailing Arbutus. The Tralling Arbutus, Mayflower, or Ground Laurel, as it is variously call- ed, belongs to the heath family of plants, and is found in the woods, or upland pastures, during the month of April. Its slender stock is tough and woody-fibred and trails close to the ground under dry leaves and dead grass, JESSIE L. BREHAUT. The oval leaf is an evergreen, also — tough of flbre and rough to the touch, The Razor, but usually worm-eaten and rust spot- ted. The flower spreads into five rounded points and varies in hue from an exquisite white to a deerly tinted rose. These blossoms are gathered in close clusters along the ends of the stalk and branches, and exhale a sweetened, spicy fragrance. The entire plant, with its green and rusty leaves, hugs the earth so close- ly that often only the tips of the flow- er clusters show here and there among the dried leaves. Nature, too, keeps fast the secret of its growth and the arbutus refuses to live in man’s care for more than one or two seasons, LILIZAN BREHAUT. Cattle Ranchec and Packing Houses, Once the American farmer raised hogs, sheep and cattle for his own table use and to supply the town or city nearby. In the large cities, just before and after the war, “pork-packing estab- lishments” were set up. . But not until the “new west” began to raise sheep and cattle by countless thousands did the present method of handling meat begin. . On the prairies and plateaus, from Montana and Dakota to the plains of Texas, immense herds of cattle and sheep are pastured. When ready for the market these herds are driven to the shipping station and sent by rail to the stockyards of some great city, like Chicago, Kansas City, or Omaha, where a large packing house slaugh- ters and ships the meat to dealers in various parts of the coutry. Even the village butcher often re- ceives his beef and mutton from some city packing house instead of from the farmers of his neighborhood. LILLIAN BREHAUT. If you walk about very guietly, when the tide is out, on the stretch of wet, sandy mud which lies just above low water mark, you may often see a very curlous object resting at the surface, and looking just like a little kevhole. And if you step heavily anywhere near it, it is almost sure to squirt up a little je} of water into the air and dis- appear.’ Then you may be quite sure that you have found the burrow of a razor shell. This is a very long, narrow creature with bivalve shells, which are shaped almost exactly like the handle of a razor. It is generally about four or five inches in length and half an inch in width, and the object which looks so like a keyhole consists of its siphon tubes the tips of which rest just above the surface of the sand when it is ly- ing at the mouth of its burrow. It digs by means of its strong fleshy “foot,” just as the cockle does, and its burrow, which goes straight down- wards just like a well, is often as much as two feet deep. So it is not a very.easy thing to get a razor out of its tunnel. But if you want to do so I can tell you how to manage it. Just take a good big pinch of salt i ang drop it down into the hole. Now the razor does not like salt at all, even though most of its life is spent at the bottom in the salt water, and it comes up to the mouth of its burrow in a great hurry to get rid of it. Then if you make a very quick stroke with a spade you can dig it out again But if you should fail to get it up at the first attempt it is of no use to try again, for even if you pour down a whole handful of salt the animal will never come up a second time, The razor is very good to eat, if its tough ,leathery skin is slipped off, and on some parts of the coast it is often used for food. The fishermen use it for bait. too, and catch it by means of a slender iron rod and. a barbed tip, which they thrust into its body as it lies at the bottom of its burrow. JESSIE L. BREHAUT. The Influence of the Moon on Plants. Does the light of the moon affect the growth of plants? Does it make any difference in the growth of a plant what time in the moon it is planted? Undoubtedly it does. Light is a great promoter of growth, and, the more brilliant the light, the stronger and more vigorous the growth, all the other conditions being favorable. It is a fact, also, with certain plants, that when young they require, like young animals, considerable time for rest and sleep. To have this sleep is to give t‘uem ultimate strength and vigor, which' is essential to théir subsequent complete development, To {llustrate: The seeds of certain vines and other plants sown in the new of the moon will vegetate and the plants are likely to appear’ above ground, near the old of the moon, at a time when the moon’s radiance is so brilliant that they are compelled to grow under its strong light. Upon few understand the philosophy of the still forced forward, and the tender plant, thus in its infancy, gets no rest. P The seed sown in the old of the moon will bring forth the plant in the new of the moon, or during the dark nights, at which time it obtains the needed rest and sleep, in ‘the darkness. which is essential to its fu- ture productiveness. That the light of the moon has thus a very perceptible and important in- fluence upon the growth of plants when verv vouns and tender, is a fact which theusands have verified, though few understand the hilosophy of the same. JESSIE L. BREHAUT. The Boy in His Father’s House. When Jesus was about three years old he was taken to Nazareth; there he grew up as a boy' and a young man, and there he lived until he was 30 years of age. The Bible tells us very little about His boyhood. As Joseph was a work- ingman, it i{s likely that he lived in a house with only one room, with no floor except the earth, no window except a hole in the wall. no pictures upon the walls, and neither bedstead, nor chair, nor looking glass. They sat upon the floor, or upon cushions, they slept upon rolls of mat- ting ,and their meals were taken from a low table, not much larger than a stool. Jesus may have learned to read at the village school, called the syna- gogue, Jesus never had a Bible of His own. JESSIE L. BREHAUT. The Mussel. Mussels are almost, if not quite, as plentiful as cockles. If you walk down underneath a pier when the tide is out, you will ofterr find that the pillars which support it are covered with great clusters of these creatures, and very often the rocks which are left dry at low water are covered with them in just the same way. At the town of Biddeford in Dev- onshire there is a bridge which is only kept standing by means of mussels. This bridge, which Is a very long one, with twenty-four arches, runs.across the Torrige river, close to the place where it joins the Taw: and the tide runs so rapidly that if mortar i{s used to repair the bridge it is very soon washed away. So boatloads of mus- sels are brought to the bridge very often, and these ancher themselves down so firmly by means of their byssus threads that they actually held the stone work, LILLIAN BREHAUT.

Nimae . Pifanicol Hiawatha’s Childhood. Wenonah was Hiawatha's mother. She was tall and slender. Her moth- er's name was Nakomis. Hiawatha's mother died. Then Na- komis had to take care of Hiawatha. She took him *to her wigwam. There was a forest behind the wigwam. In this forest grew pine and fir trees. The wigwam was situated near Lake Superior. The wrinkled old Nokomis nursed Hiawatha. She rocked him in his linden cradle which was bedded soft with moss and rushes and bound with reindeer sinews. When he cried she would say: “Hush! the naked bear will hear thee!"” Sometimes she would sing him to sleep. She taught him many things about the stars and the comet. On summer evenings Hiawatha sat near the door of the wigwam. He heard the whispering of the pine trees and the lapping of the waters. He learned the language of the birds and called them *“Hiawatha’s Chickens,” and the animals “Hiawatha's Broth- ers.” lagoo, a marvellous story-teller, made a bow for Hiawatha.

When his fdtnous son Carl becams Professor of Botany his name was Latinized into “Linnaeus.” JESSIE BREHAUT. The First Autumobile.

One day the prince was about to go hunt- ing and blew his horn for his flog All his dogs came save Gellert. blew again and called, but Gellert did not come. He could wait no wng!e: and set off without his favorite. had little success and returned to his castle vexed at his ill-luck. As he came up to the castle gate Gellert came bounding out to meet The Singing Leaves. A king was once going to a fair and he asked his three daughters what presents they would like him to bring. The eldest daughter who was a lady tall and grand, said she wanted pearl, diamonds, and gold rings. The second daughter asked for silk that would stand alone, and a gold comb for her head. Then came the turn of the youngest daughter, she said, here came a bird to my window; his music made me dream; ask thou for ‘the Singing Leaves."” The king’s brow grew _crimson. He said his two eldest daughters had spoken well, but the youngest had not and scolded her. Then he saw her dead mother In her face and said: “Thou shall have they leaves.” He mounted and rode three. days and-nights till he came to the fair. He found it easy to buy the gems and silk, but he found no Singing Leaves there. So off into the forests he rode and asked cf every tree, but still he found none. He said: “I wish I could find a little foot-page to find the Singing Leaves.” Then suddenly Walter, the rode up to the king and said: “Now promise me if 1 help you that vou will give me the first thing you meet at your castle gate when you re- turn. The king stopped a moment. He thought it would only be his dog, and he decided to. Then Walter took a small, thin packet from next his heart and ve it to the king for Princess Anne, “the Singing Leaves” were therein. The king rode in at his castle-gate and his youngest daughter. (Princess Anne) ran to meet him. He gave her “the Singing Leaves,” but he sald they haa cost him dear. The first Leaf sald: “I'm Walter the page, and the songs I sing 'neath your window are only heritage. The second Leaf sang: Then the third Leaf sang. “Be mine! Be mine!” Then sweeter it sang and said, “I am thine, thine, thine!” Princess Anne said the good counsel as she h&d her thrice o’er.

A girl who was taking the country teachers’ examina- tion was very anxious to pass. It was important that she should secure a position. The girl who sat next her, seeing that she was perplexed over certain problems, worked out the correct so- lutions on a small piece of paper, and let it drop on the floor beside her. The other girl looked hard at the paper and tried to think. She needed that position. Failure to pass would not only be humiliating, but would en- tail hardship on her father and moth- er. But on the other hand, if she cheated now, it would be for the first time In her life as a schoolgirl That lay on the floor till near the end of the hour given to the alge- bra examination, and then the girl who had it, pleked it up herself, and tore It into A.BJ the oth- er ginl working on stubl deubtful of the theught te comfort her, had been ed and wanting.
