Such a hurry in the trees;
Such a whirring and a stirring,
Birds as brisk as busy bees;

Such a slipping o'er the stones;

Mabel went with her auntie to the

good breeding saved her from being
rude.
Lulu, when she saw the little girl
dressed in silk, forgot what she
meant to say and looked at Maggie
but Maggie was even less prepared
than Lulu to make a speech. So
Lulu stammersd out: ‘We brought
some Easter eggs that we painted,
but we must go right back 'cause
mamma don’t know we came.”
Mabel took the eggs and thanked
the girls very politely, but they would
not go into the house.
“What do you suppose she thought

they were out of hearing.

How Spurs Are Won.
the way in whish a man ‘wins his

lacks fascination to me. Except in
the case of meteoric youngsters, the

steadily along, sometimes until very

A very interesting misapprehension
which in the minds of
people is one concerning the vita

of, say, 1,000 volts. The newspapers

The danger arises only when the volts
are re-enforced by a good many am-

| Author of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb."
Mrs, Sarah J. Hale, the famous
editor, cook and patriot, to whom we
{ owe our national Thanksgiving day
is the author of “Mary Had a Little
| Lamb.” She wrote the poem in
{ 1820. Dr. Lowell Mosan composed
the music, and the poem was pub-
lished by Marsh, Capen & Lyon, of
Boston, in 1880. There waa no real
Mary. Mrs. Hale had a pe lamb
when a child, which followed her to
school, and she used the incident in
| the famous poem. A few years ago
| it was said that Mary Tyler, of Sum.

A Crue! Wrong Inflicted on Sailors
A sailor on a troopship informs me
of a curious grievance from which
he and his mates suffer. “The ship's
company is limited,’”’ he writes, ‘to
two parrote for each mess of about
twelve men, and if these are not in
uniform cages they are thrown over

Ant Nests in Trees.
The ants of Malacea make their
nests in trees, joining the leaves to-
gether by a thin thread of silk at tho
ends. The first step in making the
nest is for several ants to bend the
leaves together and hold on with
their hind legs, when one of them
after some time rang up with a larva
and, irritating it with its antennae,
makes it produce a thread with which
the leaves are joined. When one
larva is exhausted, a second is
