Carrie, not to play with me now" said
Fanny, one morning, in her old fretful,
impatient way. DO let the chickens 90

You have had your breakfast, Fanny.

Carrie. If you will help me take this

mo, indeed, I'm too weak and tired

do.

What does he mean? What precious
herb have you got?'
He was alluding to a German story
he told me one day I'll tell it to you
as we go along to the chicken yard /:
Two little German girls, Brigitte and
Walburg, were on their way to town, he
said, and each carried heavy basket of
fruit on her head Brigitte murmured
and sighed constantly, Walburg only
laughed and joked. Brigitte said, What
makes you laugh so? Your basket is
quite as heavy as mine, and you are no
stronger than l am. Walburg answer
ed, 81 have precious little herb on my
load, which hardly makes me feel it at
all. Put some of it on your load as well.
{ O. cried Brigitte, it must indeed be a
precious little herb. l should like to
Tighten my load with it; do tell me at

herb if we ask him for it, timidly added

Fanny listened thoughtfully, and feel
ing ashamed of her impatient ways that
had become visible to all, and were in

Oil on the Waters.

Two little girls, Lily and Violet, were
playing in a yard where they had strung
some Irvine for clothes line, and were
washing their dolls garments in a
diminutive tub, and hanging them out to
dry. Along came Lily's brother, Master
Jack, the juvenile tease, and with one
sweep of his hand jerked the whole day s
washing from the line and scattered it on
the grass. Lily dubbed over in tears at
once. Violet was saddened, too, but
the necessity of playing peacemaker in
the impending family quarrel was the
first thought in mind so she said, sooth-
ingly: Never mind, Lily; let's play

Two Brave Little Girls.

A long time ago, in the Indian coun-
try, two little girls slipped away from
the fort, and went down into hollow to
pick berries. 1t was Emmy, girl of
seven years, with Bessie, her sister, not
yet six.
All at once the sun flashed on some
thing bright; and Emmy knew that the
pretty painted things she had seen crawl
ing among the bushes must be hostile
Indians with cleaning weapons in their
hands. She did not cry out, nor in any
way let them know that she had seen
them. But she looked all about, saw
that some Of the creeping Indians already
were between her and the fort, and went
on picking berries as before.
Soon she called aloud to Bessie with a
steady voice, Don't you think it's going
to rain?" So they both turned and
walked toward the fort. They reached
the tall grass. and suddenly Emmy drop
ped to the ground, pulling down Bessie,
too.
" What are you looking for?" asked
the little sister, in surprise.
Then Emmy whispered to Bessie, and
both Of them stole silently and quickly
on hands and knees through the long
grass, until they came to the road when
they started up, ran swiftly to the fort,
dashed through the entrance, and had the
gate safely closed behind them.
These girls are quite old now, but they
remember very well the day they saved
themselves, the fort which their father
commanded, and the soldiers and other
people in it besides.-ISt. Nicholas.

A Scratch and a Kick.

A horse at Faribault, Minnesota,
turned loose in his masters dooryard,
saw basket hanging on a pole about
seven feet from the ground. 1t contained
a pet cat. The horse walked to the
basket, put his nose up to investigate, and
the cat gave the intruding nose lively
scratch. The horse turned around,
looked back over his shoulder, as though
to take aim and measure the distance,
kicked, and cat, basket and all, shot into
the air like rocket. The horse watched
the success Of his shot, then gave a
low whinny of delight and walked away

The Jersey County Medical Society,

A House Made Of Paper.

One of the most interesting objects Of
fsred to public inspection at the Sydney
international Exhibition was dwelling
house. exclusively made of paper, and
furnished throughout with articles man
ufactured with the same material. The
walls, roof, hourings and staircases alike
consisted of carton-pierre; the carpets
and curtains, bedsteads, lamps, sheets
and counterpanes, towels, bootjacks,
baths, kitchen utensils, ETC., were one
and all preparations OF papier-mache, as
were the very stoves used for heating the
rooms, in which large fires were kept
burning daily throughout the duration
of the Exhibition. Several banquets
were given in the paper house by its
owners to the Commissioners, members
of the Press, and foreigners OF distinct
ion. All the plates and dishes, knives
and forks, bottles ana bringing vessels
used at these entertainments were fabri-
Gated entirely and solely of paper.
Should these paper buildings come into
vogue they may be expected to superin-
duce some striking changes in the rates
of fire insurance, at present calculated
upon q basis Of bricks and mortar.
