Ben dug some bait and away they went acruss the meadows waving with long, pretty grass, through the wood-lot where the birds sang in the trees and to the side of u lovely, bab- bling brook, which, mamma said, was talking to itself as it hurried busily along, going armewhem. "Oh, goody I" And Ben oiapped his hands. Soon Bennie was so busy popping the green bulls out of their Jackets that he did not feel near so badly about be- ing leit behind. Presently his mother said-- "Now, munikin. it we fly round and finish all the work, what do you think we'll do r' "What P' asked Ben, breathlessly. , "We'll go down to the brook and fish." "Sh-h-h !" whispered mamma, laying rlown her book. And she quietly put her hand over Ben's; and they drew the line gtsntlr-oh, so trentlr-toward the bank. Then, when the fish gave " big, strong tug, as if he was won- dering what was pulling against him, mama jerked the line quickly up; nngkthero la!

Be was just getting a little tired of keeping so still. when the cork stopped bobbing up and down and dived traigltotf in Mus water. _ . "Good-bye, Bennie! Pil bring you a. big atring of fish."

The little fellow wanted to go. too; and he could hardly keep back the tears when he re- membered that his father had said: BETTY’S ARITHMETIC LESSON. Batty was eating one of mumma'l lovely round turnover- and studying fractions. She had just begun to take little nibbles from the edge of the turnover, " to make it spend." when papa gave her a question to work out. " From four-fourths take one-fourth." Betty thought fractions dreadfully stupid things. She didn't try to think out the answer in the way papa had explained to her over and over, but guessed it would be "msven-eightul" and pat it down on the paper that way. Then she took another nibble out of the side ot her beloved turnover. And' if you will believe ms, Betty never forgot how to work in " fourths" after that. I'd fog“, and toast, and fetish and How mssFr, that would be! But oh! a. traveling monkey's lite Is very hard for mo. Papa looked at the answer and then at Betty. Then he looked at the turn- over and lastly at shaggy old Bruno, who had just. come into the room.

The salary accuunt is 810,000,000 a year. In one particular at least the London Police Department appears to be more diligent and effective than the New York force, and that is in recov- ering lost property, of which there are in a year about 4,000 articles restored in New York, and 16,000 in London, in- cluding umbrellas, blankets, mar-in- toshes, baby carriages, hats, hat pins overeoats, books and newspapers. The average number of arrests made by a London policeman is not more than 7 in each year, as against an average of 28, Lau. times as many, made by Paris policemen. The average number of arrests made by New York city police- min varies from 18 to 20, so in respect to the activity of its police force, New York may be said to stand metween Landon and Paris, as it does in popula- tion, and nearer to Paris than to Lon- don in this respect. The average height of London policemen is 70 in- ch-s, and the average weight 185 pounds.

The present population iot the city of London is 4,ti00,000. It was 4,448,- 018 officially by the census of March. 1896. The present population of the city at New York is M00,000, and New York and London are now the two largest cities in the world. Paris, the third largest. being nearly 1,000,000 be... hind New York, and Berlin having less than one-h" the population of New York city. By the last published re- port made to the British Home Bee- retary by Sir E. R. Bradford, London Commissioner of Police, it appears that at the beginning of 1898 the London force consisted of 32 superintendents, 578 inspectors, 1,908 sergeants, and 12,934 constables, or a total of 15,452. Of these, 4 superintendents, 52 in- spectors, 197 sergeants and 1,506 con- stables were employed on special duties for various Government departments, including Special protection, posts at public attic-cs and buildings, dock yards and military stations. Under the ex- isting system about 60 per cent, of the London police force available fur duty in the streets is required for night duty-from 10 Fm. to b' mm. "They wouldn't bitel" said father. "Didn't you catch a. thing t" cried mma,_ laughing. - - ting loose, etc. Papa laughed, and declared that he believed they caught it with a. “silver hook ;" but Joe felt very small to think that his four-rear-out brother had beaten him fishing. right at home in the little brook. as that of London, comprising a force of 5,329 in Manhattan, and the Bronx, 1,878 in Brooklyn, 198 in Queen's and [it in the, borough of Richmond. ln- cluded in these numbers are the bicy- cle squad of 89, the detective squad of 120, the sanitary squad ct 63, the court squad of 177, and the telegraph squad " 25, exclusive of 14 detectives in Brooklyn and 15 members ot the ordi- nance police in Brooklyn. The arrests made by the London police number 510,- 000 in a year, those by the New York police number 140,000, and the small difference in the number of arrests in view of the large difference in popu- laiton is explained by the fact that police arrests in London are more usu- ally the results of formal complaints by citizens than the independent acts of policemen, and moreover a-large la- titude seems to be given in matters of local order, its maintenance or disturb- ance, than is the case in New York. Quite a considerable number of ar- rests made in New York are of what may be called a tentative character, re- sulting in the discharge of the ac- cused person on arraignment either at the police station or in court. More than one-quarter of the number of those arrested in New York for serious offences are discharged without the formality of a trial, and of those ar- rested for minor offences the propor- tion discharged is about one third. In Lt.ndon during the year covered by the last report there were eighteen cases of murder, of which three re- sulted in conviction in the first degree. In New York, the number of arrests for murder is larger in a year. but the pro- portion of convictions is higher too. my about what sport' it was puiiin} him if: and tu?w he Game very near treo- The New York Police Department, at the time of the last report, was Just ONE HALF AS LARGE POLICE FORCES COMPARED.

Mothers cannot ex- pect to see it in their children unless the child is able to see the same in them. The first lessons may be given a little babe, as in its attempts to help itself it begins to climb and perhaps take a step and down it goes. Its first inclination is to cry. but the wise moth- er, instead of snatching the little fer. low up, running to the window, show- lng a favorite picture, or something to divert its attention, will lovingly teach the little one to be brave. As the harder bumps come to the lit- tle life, the being brave will grow up- on him until in later life he is prepar- ed to face the more serious obstructions in his path with a brave heart and a. dependence upon self when no moth- er‘sL hand can guide him through. SOME GOOD RECIPES. Consomme With Egg Foam.--To one quart of consomme add one pint of rich milk and heat. Blend a table- spoonful of potato flour with two yolks of eggs; pour the soup, just off the boiling point into the mixture; stir well and cook slowly tor eight minutes. See that the consomme is perfectly sea- soned before the addition of the milk. Beat the whites of the eggs with a pinch of fine salt to a froth, add a tablespoonful of boiling milk, beat again and place a large spoonful of this foam on top of each plate of soup when serving. This foam is delicious served on tomato cream soup.
