jj j| AUNT JAN. If When Aunt Jan* B u Wjfljß ft s,,oh romping in % V M |n fa (tweeter than a irfy m daffodil and softer VF .ff than a mouse. I f/r She sings about the paasacca and never wants a rest. And father says it's all because a bird is in her breast. When Aunt Jan's kissing there's such a crowding around ber knees. Such clsuibers to her DOSSOUI jnd such bat. ties for a squeese; We dirty bath her snowy cuffs, we trample on her gown. And sometimes all her yellow hair cornea tumbling, tumbling down. When Aunt Jan's dancing we all watch hor as she goes, With in-and-out and round-about upon her shiny toes; And when ber incrry breath la tired she stops the fun and stands To courtesy saucily to us or kiss her pretty hands. When Aunt Jan's playing, the piano seems alive. With nil the notes us busy as the bees are In a hive; And when It's time for Bedfordshire, as sweetly as u lark She sings that God is waiting to protect us In the dark. When Auut Jan's leaving we are not ashamed to cry, A-klsslng at the station and a waving ber good-by; But springtime brings the crocus after winter rain and frost, So dear Aunt Jan will come again; she Isn't really lost. —Noruian Gale la New York Tribuae. Fan With Dntcli Tears. * "It is a great wonder to me," said in old chemist in his laboratory the Either day, "why more boys do not take up chemical experiments ns an imuseinent. Why, I can do things with tne common materials of every lay life which really seem to be more magical to the uninitiated than any >f the wonders performed by magic ans on the public stage. "Now, there are those curious little bubbles of glass known variously as Prince Rupert's drops' and as 'Dutch tears.' Apparently they are merely little globules of glass with elongated tails, made by heating a small glass tod In a flame and allowing the mol ten drops to fall Into water After they have cooled you rr.ay pound the thick part with a hammer or mailer, yet you cannot break thein. On the tbcr hand, if you break a little piece eff their tails, or touch any part of them-.with a quartz crystal, they, will disappear into the surrounding ntinos ohere quicker than snow will melt on t hot fire. To the person who does not know the reason the performance is most astonishing. "And yet it Is all very simple. It Is 4ue to what is known as surface co hesion. Glass wheD heated to a mol ten state has naturally reached a very high temperature, and when the drops of melted glass are allowed to fall into the cold water the sudden change pro duces a stress all over the surface of the drop which Is really terrific. This stress, however, must be considered as a whole. It Is very strong when taken all together, hut It Is exactly as though a piece of very thin rubber was stretched over the surface of the glass. If you punctured the rubber its haste to resume Its normal condi tion would pull 11 off the glass. "So when you break oil the tall of the drop or cut througih the film of very hard glass with a crystal, its en deavor suddenly to resume Its normal condltlou results iu Its own destruc tion, and It breaks up into particles which are really liner than the finest sand. It seems like a wonderful per formance. but It Is no tuore wonderful than many another which any young ster could perform If he would study even the simplest forms of chemical action.'^ HUt iry Nome Tim** Teacher of T1 story—Willie. what was the main thing which hastened the Spanish-American war?

This Is because he has no ribß, nml no way of dilating the chest; therefore he must literally swallow air as CBough It were food. Forcibly keep ing the creature's mouth open causes the air to pass Into the stomach In stead of the lungs. Another oddity Is Its tongue, which is hung In the mouth just the reverse of the human tongue, being attached to the front of th> jaw, the loose end hanging back and down tbe throat.—San Francisco Bulletin. i- I.- '-'-- •-•••• A M..

No Influence can be brought into a borne more elevating and refining than music, but too often the acquir i.i„ of musical skill iiud knowledge by n child or young person is given a wrong motive.

The power to create tweet melodies for others to enjoy ihould be a great and unselfish pleas ure. Too rarely Is tbe musical education ascd for the brightening of the homo. Too rarely is it considered "worth while" to play or sing for the gratl- Icutlon of one or more members of a family or the family. Music not only gratifies tbe sense of hearing, but is the most powerful itimulus to the Imagination. It paiuts pictures which uo artist can repro duce, it writes poems of sweeter rhythm and meter than have ever been written. "Play that little march again," said i tired man to his daughter, as be lay with closed eyes on a couch, resting ifter a hard day's work and worry. "I should think you would be tired hearing it," she replied, a little petu lantly, but she played it over, this time with more care and feellug than be fore. "It always rests me," said the weary man. "It brings before me a picture of willows by n brook, a peaceful landscape where cattle graze. At the second part, the scene changes some what, but the willows are there, al ways waving gently in the summer wind. It is beautiful."
