THE NEW AGE. POTITTjANT). OTtEGOTST. FOE LITTLE FOLKS. A COLUMN OF PARTICULAR IN TEREST TO THEM. Something that Will Interest the Ju venile Member of livery Household Quaint Actions and Ilrlght Buying" of Many Cute and Cunning Children. In the Pnlnls dcs Industries Diverse, mt the Tjirls Exitositlon, there was a wonderful alcove where nil the French, ns well ns visiting foreign, children Rhouted with delight, nnd could scarce ly he pulled nwny. For there one saw St. N'lcholns him self, (tutting off on his Christmas rounds with his big sledge londed down with toys nnd Rifts, The gray hut merry old saint was In full dress, nnd held the rlhhous of such n team of ponies as boys and girls dreamed of, hut never before seen. The gorgeous magnlllcencc of that wilderness of Trench toys on the sledge finite dazzled the eyes of the gaping youngsters who pressed eagerly forward to bo ns near is possible to such delightful treasures. Hard by, too, there was a house, n thlldren's Olii'lstkils house, furnished altogether with toys. We mny conclude that It was St. Nicholas' residence, nnd that he was just driving away on his gladsome mission. And what were the toys, these mnr rclous, Parisian toys? Everything that one can think of: Glittering berlbboued drums that beat; guns, with bayonets, Ihntshot; ominous that went' baugl dolls that walked, cried and said "l'apal" and "Mammal" elephants that swung their trunks, shuttled forward and trumpeted; tigers and lions that growl ed and gnashed their teeth; little pigs that came running forward, squealing for food; goats that bleated, ami lower ing their heads hutted at dogs that harked; dear little pussy cats that mewed In the most natural manner; lining rabbits that popped up out of liuirows, raised their ears and looked nil about them, chewing a little mouth ful of grass all the while; wonderful ' "I (earn that got up on their hind legs, wagged their heads, rolled their eyes, awl extending their paws offered to liug you. No wonder the children shouted, for oven the grown-up visitors gathered uImmu In a great crowd, and one could we by the puckers In their faces that they wen- greatly amused. A JUtta wny off there wiib n kind of broad counter, where a French girl tood all day long, winding up these lisars, goats, elephants, rabbits, eats and pigs, and setting them going. As taut as they ran down she wound them attain, nnd so kept up an animated kind of circus iKrformanco nil along the counter. Tho squealing and the growl Jag and tho trumictlng nnd mewing .constantly attracted a laughing throng. Indml, the girl who wound them up wan the only one there who looked tmtvtl. I tried to ask her If It wore not a. llttl! tiresome winding up pigs nnd vlcphnutH nil day long, and seeing to It that they didn't run off tho counter. rHU did not quite understand me, my French wns so Imperfect, and gnvo n llttlo hopeless shrug as If my sympathy wasn't worth the trouble of compro lieudlug It.

The gingham dog went "bow-wow-wow!" Ami the enllco eat replied "nie-owl" And the air was ittreaked for an hour or BO With fragments of gingham and calico, While the old Dutch clock In the chim ney place Ui with its hands before Its face. For It ulways dreaded a family row! (Now mind, I'm hluiply telling you What the old Dutch clock declares Is true.) The CIiIiii'ko plate looked very blue Ami walled: "Oh, dear! what shall we do?"

"Sir," said a lad, coming down to ono of tho wharfs In Iloston nnd address ing n well-known nicrchnut, "have you any berth on your ship? I want to earn something." "What can you do?" asked Uie gen tleman. "I can try my best to do whatever I nin put to," answered the boy. "What have you dono?" "1 hnvo sawed and split nil mother'! wood for nlgli on two years." "Whut hnvo you not done?" nsked tho gontlemiin, who was a queer sort of a questioner. "Well, sir," answered tho boy, after n moment's pnust "I hnvo not whis pered In school once for a wholo year. "That's enough," snld tho gentleman. "You cun shli aboard this vessel, and I hope to see you master of It somo day. A boy who can master n wood pile and bridle his tongue must be made of good stuff." Christian Lead er. Huok wheat Cukes nn Ornvy.

There 't'd lay with holes a brenkh' out like measles from the top, Till she'd loosen It an' turn It with nn ol' case knife, "kertlop!" Oh! there ain't n modern angel top o' nil the earth kin bake Huekwhent cakes an' sosslge gravy like our mother used to make!
