see there is enough for willing

1t was, indeed, precisely like Il
fairy tale. Frissy and Violet were
cared tor by the good man and his
wife, who were the leading spirits
in the colony. And in return they
cheerfully performed tho easy task
allotted them by their kind bene.
factors. They found the French
children to be bright and lovable,
and soon grew accustomed to theil
foreign speech and ways. They
were very happy through the soft
spring weather, gathering leaves
and feeding the hungry worms thai

rapidity, until they begin to spil
their cocoons among the greer

"Well have a WoudrOus merry

had locked themselves by magic

The finest cocoons were strung il

year might be obtained. When
the butterflies had all emerged
from these the children crowned Il

Violet sat upon the throne, dress

hands in France. Prissy placed up
on her head Il golden chaplet, anl
wound about her strings OF shining
pearl and emerald cocoonS. The
children danced around her, paying
homage to their queen, and singing
in their silvery language something
that she did not understand but
for all thai it sounded very sweet
and jubilant. Then there was q

What Smoking Does for Boys

A certain doctor, struck with the
large number OF boys under fifteen
years of age whom he observed
smoking, was led to enquire into
the effect the habit had upon the
general health. He took for his
purpose thirty-eight boys, aged
from nine to fifteen. aud carefully
examined them; i'll twenty seven of
them he discovered Injurious traces
of the habit. In twenty-five there
were various disorders of the GiPcu-
latiOn and digestion, palpitatlOn Of
the heart, and q mere 0t less mark
ed taste for strong drink, In twelve
there was frequent bleeding Of the
nose, ten had disturbed sleep, and
twelve had slight liberation Of the
mucuOus membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared OH ceasiug from
the use of tobacco for some days.
The doctor treated them all for
weakness, but with little effect un-
til the smoking was discontinued,
when health and strength were res
tored. Now this is no Sold wife's
tale" as these facts are given un-
der the authority Of the British
Medical Journal.

Ashes scattered around fruit trees

Ashes scattered around fruit trees

OH no account, be wasted. We
