Was not the little one correct in her queer comparison A soft, low voice reminds one To begin with, the habitation of the homesteader is either a dugout or a house built of squares of sod taken from the prairie Nebraska or Kansas brik as they are facetiously termed. The dugout consists of a hole dug in the side of a canyon or any sort of depression on the prairie which will serve as a wind-break. This hole is roofed across, about on a level with the prairie, with inch boards, and these are covered with sod. A foot or so of stove-pipe protruding from the roof is the sole indication of a human habitation. One room generally serves all the purposes of the homesteader and his family.

If he prospers for a season he adds to the front of hi3 abode by erecting walls of Eod on the sides and putting in a new front, the old one serving as a partition between the two rooms. This is considered a commodious dwelling. After riding over the quarter section looking for an owner, espying such an abode and guiding your team carefully down a break-neck descent to the front door, would it surprise you, upon entering this hole in the ground, to find, for instance, a very brought suit to recover the prico of the cloak, and claims that it did fit until the lady put on an immense bustle. The court will have to decide the regulation size of a bustle. it is of the lilies of the valley, of clear, blue skies, velvety grass, anything tnat is has been attracting attention for several years past by his clever sketches and stories of frontier life, and whose recent novel, "A Nymph of the West," has been receiving favorable comment, has some curious superstitions about literary composition and is unique in his methods of work.

The most unique feature of hi3 study is a human skull and femora surmounting a book-case. The thigh bones are those of a man, but the skull is a woman's, said to have formerly appertained to a Mexican senorita of great beauty. There i some mystery about this relic, for the author is reticent about talking of it. The braid cavity is lined with, black velvet, and the top of the skull opens with a hinge; for this ghastly box is a receptacle for pens and the names of his heroines inscribed upon bits of ivory. It i3 his custom when the name of a heroine has been selected and her character and physical attractions are in process of development, to put this title in the head of the skull and let it remain there until the story is finished.

The eyes of the skull are provided with fair, and sweet, and fine.

And they gava him bucket after Iracket of water till he became horribly uck, but no tadpole "shomped out." By this time poor Brown was suffer-ong agonies. The tadpole, or the large quantity of water, one or other, was causing him great pain, added to which the himself was in a state of mortal and indefinable terror. Just then the family jjxhysician made his appearance and tried to allay their fears, but all to no purpose something practical must be done.

Thinking a little stimulant uuld do his patient good after the drenching he had had, he said: "Now, I should recommend you, if yon want the tadpole to jump, to give turn a gocd' dose of brandy, that will make him frisky, and perhaps he will then, under the influence of liquor, make his sudden appearance, and relieve you all." The plan was tried on a most whole-ale scale, but instead of making the tadpole frisky, it only made Mr. Brown somewhat tipsy, in which state he be-cima what the Scotch call "greetin' In a maudlin way he bade his "weeping wife an affecting farewell, and insisted oa being put to bed to die.
