24 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 1896. PRIL, the fourth month of the vear, is our guest. " Daisies crown her brow and the flash of many diamonds daz- | zles our eyes as she waves her hands in merry greeting, while above and aliabout her hover and crowd her fairy fol- lowers, a vast army of dancing, prancing sunbeams, a rently rapping, tapping raindrops. pril, a fickle maid is she, one we're very glad to see. ¥ On account of the changeableness of the weather during this month April has been treated in song and story as the type of inci tan he name April is from the word Aper- ilis, me: g the opening, or the time when » earth opens its mouth, as this season is the birthtime of the plants and 1d living things of spring. Hark to the bells as they chime out peals urch tower in theland: How beautiful 1s Easter! Fair goddess of the spring, decked with lilies pure, her face aglow with hope and promise, she fills with love and gladness. iant diamond and the modest (days-eye), both emblematical of innocence, are the stone and flower chosen by fickle Miss April with which toenhance her charms. The diamond is a very interesting stone, and I wish you would find out at least one thing about it for yourselves and let me kaow what it is. Easter Lilies.

And when morning earth i Pealed the lily-t dawned resplendent, Hundreds of years ago there roamed | in the Golden State of California the bold | Nayarits, whose chief was such a brave warrior that nome of the otlier | tribes could conquer him. So mighty was he that all bowed down and reverenced |- him. Many tribes from afar sought his | council and smoked with him the pipe of veace. His heart was tender and gentle as a little child’s, and aithough brave and per- haps cruel in battle, he was never known | to wound the joyous birds of the moun- tain. His home life was an ideal one, sur- rounded as he was by seven young braves and one beautiful daughter, who was wor- | shiped alike by father, brothers and the | whole tribe of Nayarits. She moved among them like a glorious spirit— | kind and sweet toall. The old and the | feeble received her smile as well as the | brave and strong.

One day she wandered farther from her father’s people than ever before through field after field of waving mustard. Suddenly her heart leapt with joy for zrowing at her feet was a flower like a golden cup. Hastily draw- ing her jeweled dagger she knelt and care- from the ground, when lo! at each fiber of the root was a tiny pebble of gold. In an ecstacy of delight she clasped it to her bosom, and with her own rosy lips kissed its dewy petals breatning her pure lovely spirit into the flower and drinking from its balmy odor the consolation of sleep. Thus dwells the spirit of the Indian maiden in the drowsy heart of the Copa de Ora, the spirit queen of the Golden State. Mishap on a Cornerib. There is an old story about a boy who was hoeing corn one hot day in his father's field. He didn’t feel like hoeing, and so he burrowed his bare brown toes in the warm soil and watched for stray toads. He had already killed four or five, and it was much more fun than hoeing corn. Sud- denly he saw an unusually large one wrig- gling almost at his feet. He struck it a hard plow with the hoe, and the next in- stant he was curled up on the ground, howling with pain. He had mistaken his big toe for a i0ad and cut it almost off. The story was called to mind by the accident that happened not long ago toa little 1 who lives in Southern Illinois. She was playing around her father’s corn- crib_one afternoon, when she conceived the idea of climbing to the top ana seeing what the crib roof was like. So up she went, using the logs in the crib roof as ladder rounds. When she was almost up she found difficulty in getting over the eaves, so she thrust her arm between two of the logs, clasping it as far arguna as possible. Then she raised her' head. Within two inches of her nose she saw several snakelike objects crawling toward her from between the logs. With a shriek she let go, and down she fell to the ground, bumping her head and spraining her wrist. | And the snakelike creaturesshe had seen— she was very much afraid of snakes—were only her own little black fingers reaching around the crib log.—Chicago Record. A Boy and a Millionaire. One day not long ago a boy who has worked for four years in Marshall ¥ield’s store asked for a raise in salary. He was getting $4 a week and he thought he ought to have more. So he asked his su perintencent and the superintendent re- ferred him to the manager and the mana- ger leaned back in his chair and sai “You must see Mr. Field himsel! regulates all raises in salary.” Aiter a week of disappointments the boy succeeded in gaining admittance to Mr. | Field’s office. %\'nh shaky voice he asked | for a raise in salary. “How long have yon worked here?” the muliionaire. our years."” ““And how much are you getting?” “Four dollars a week."" | f “Why,” returnea Mr. Field, “when I was your age I was working for$2 50 a week and I thought I was well paid. What do you think of that?” ““Perhaps you weren’t as valuable a boy as T am,”” was the respectful reply. It isn’t chronicled what was next said, o The Flocks of Spring. When winter is done and April’s dswning Shatters the dark of the year, Anpd the rain-fed rivulet under the bridge Again runs clear, And the shepherd sun comes over the hill To let out the flocks of spring, With langhter and light in the pastures of air The flocks take wing.

I shall try to relate the story of my ad- ventures so that it will give pleasure to my childish readers. On last Thursday afternoon I was awak- ened from my afternoon nap by a young man dressed in blue, who ook me up care- fully and placed me in a basket and car- ried me ever so far away from the big bell, that I had grown so used to, to a large house, where there were lots of other young men dressed the same as he was. Here I was given a saucer of warm milk and put to bed for the night. The next morning the same young man took me from the basket and gave me more milk. After I had drnnk the milk I was put into a box with a ot of holes in it and taken down to a little boat and put aboard, and thus my journey began. near the edge. The pistil is in the center with about twenty to thirty stamens around it, the single ones have four petals, but I have found some that are double and have five or six petals. If you pull off the petals the pistil and stam- ens will stay attached to the cup; the pistil holds the seed and the stamens are covered with ;{onen_v dust.

Dear Editor; 1 saw your question in Sun- day’s CALL about the California poppies. All around the fields are covered with them, and they look very pretty. They have 4 leaves. They are a deep yellow, with a lighter shade around the top, and have a long green stem. There are some little thingsn the middle that look like little short leaves. They close up about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Hoping my letter will be in next Sunday’s CaLr, I rémain, e« LILLIAN WIGHT, 10 years old.

A poppy has a little cap called calyx, which is cadu- cous. This means when the poppy begins to open the calyx falls off. ‘When the calyx falls off some yellow leaves appear. These yellow leaves are called petals, The petals form the corolla of the poppy. Corolla means crown. A few moments later the boat began to move and 1 commenced to cry, but I soon In the middle of the poppy are little things THE TWO YOU PEOPLE ADMIRED THE KITTEN. found out that my crying was of no use, as the boat kept on moving. After a long time the boat stoEped, and I was carried to another boat that was a reat deal larger than the first one. Here | %crieu as hard as Icould from fright, as I saw animals that had the same number of feet as I had, but did not look like me at all. By and by I was carried to what I after- ward found out were cars and placed on the floor under a seat. A few moments after two young ladies dressed in black with white bonnets sat down on the seat. This frightened me so that I began to cry, when one of the ladies said, “My gracious, sister, there must be a cat under the car; I hope that the poor thing will not get hurt.”” Irode a long time, and when the car stopped the young man took nre up and carried me a short way until he came toa ereeted by a young lady, who said, “Oh, ‘Will, you have brought my cat.” 1 was taken into the house and let out of my box. The moment I got out I Jooked around and saw a fine room with two young people in it; one was the young man who brought me and the other was a very pretty young lady, who took me into another room and gave me some milk. After I had drunk the milk I wasallowed to play in the room where the two young peo- what they were talking of, but I heard the | young man say: “Lulg, I think that you had better call the cat ‘Fred’ after me.” But this did not seem to suit her and she said that I wasto be called “Malty,” so here I am started out in the second stage of my life with the name of Malty. If this pleases my young readers I shall from time to time jet them know how I am getting along. For the present I shall say good-by. Marry. 1020 Stanyan Street, BAN FRANCISCO, CAL., March 26, 1896. Dear Editor: 1Iread “Children’s Page” every Sunday and like it very much. You asked us in last Sundays’s CALL (o write something about the California poppy, o I will write all I know. We live out near the park and have lots of nice wild flowers. But I like the poppy the best of any; they are of about three shades—yellow, dark yellow and orange. Some are dark in the center and grow light called stamens. On top of each stamen is a 1ittle case, which holds powder called pollen. The little case that holds the pollen is called the anthen. There are twenty-five stamens; in the middle of the stamens are the pistils. 1f you pull off the petals and stamens, and leave nothing but the stem sometbing funny will happen. Break the stem at the top and open it and you will find & little cradle called the ovary. Break the ovary and you will find some poppy seeds in it. So the plants that will be here next year are in their cradle fast asleep. And anice long sleep they will have I am sure. When they wake up they will not be seeds, but little poppy plants. Please print this in the Sunday paper. Your little reader, LORENA MACINTYRE, aged 9 years. SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., March 29, 1896. Dear Editor: As you expressed s wish in Sunday’s CaLL for the boys and girls to write as much as they could about our own dear flower, the California poppy, I thought I would write You as much as I know about it. The poppy’s favorite vlace of growth is Cali- fornia. Tt flourishes best in the sun. There are single and double poppi A poppy is about the size of an ordinary-sized rose. The double poppy is shaped like a pink, and varies very little in color from the single one. The poppy has four peials, which are shaped like the pefals of a rose, but are' much larger and thinner. There are different colors of poppies, namely, white. pink, erimson, eto. he double poppy does not bear seed, but grows from the seeds of the single one. When it is going to seed the petals drop off, leaving a bulb containing the seeds. The bulb is round, similar to & scent-bag that is tied with a ribbon. Opium is obtained from the inspissated juice of the poppy. Your little {riend, JEANETTE C. TALFOR, 10 years old, 1914 Kearny street. NORTH TEMESCAL, Cal., March 26, 1896.

It is & bright orange color and very beautiful. My teacher gave us a lesson about it, and these are some of the things I learned: It likes to grow on the hills in the sun. It bright blossom has four petalsthat form the | corolla. Corolla means crown. So the four orange-colored petals form the crown of the plant. In the center of the corolla is the pis- til, surrounded by a great many stamens of the same’ color as the flower, ~with a tiny speck of black &t the base. On the top of the stamens are the anthers that hold the pollen and the threadlike supports are called the filaments. When the flower was in the | bud there was & tiny cap on it, the shape of & | cone, but as the bud grew larger and the cap did not the pud forced it off. People visiting California think ours a very happy choice for the State flower. I do not quite understand | about this selection. Perhaps Mr. Editor can | tell me something about it and by whom the decision was made. Living near the foothills of the Coast Range, 1 have become well acquainted with our little | pring visitors. Next week I will tell you about some other | flower. Every Sunday I look at the letter-box, and secing every letter shorter than mine, I will | close. Your Irxen;l, ULIA WEBER, age 11 years.

Construction of Lofts Along the Coast | Will Be Begun at Once. For several years past a number of of- | ficers in the navy have been interesting themselves in the training of homing pig- eons over the water, and from time to time have made efforts at the Navy Department to have an appropriation made for the ese tablishment of this service on a large scale along the coasts of the United States; but | not until last week have the various recom- mendations which have been made by sue perintendents of the Naval Academy and other officers been favorably considered. Secretary Herbert, at last, convinced by the practical results which have been ob« | tained during the last few years with the pigeons from the Government cote at An- napolis, that the carrier pigeon as a mes- senger between ship and shore would be a valuable addition for strategic purposes in time of war, has approved the idea, and | has ordered a detailed plan to be prepared by the officers interested. This plan will be finished within two weeks, when the work of building the cotes, after the pattern of the loft already | established in the tower of the boathouse | at the Naval Academy, will be begun, and | they will be placed at first at seven or | eight of the important strategic points and navy-yardsalong the Atlantic Coast. When these lofts have been established the sys- tem will be gradually extended until there wiil be a complete chain of stations along | the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The stations proposed for the main lofts are at Ports- mouth, N. H.; Boston, Newport; New Lons don, Conn. ; Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Wash+ | ington; Annapolis, Md.; Norfolk, ; Porg | Royal, 8.
