A Tale for the T0ddlers.
S,t,y,ouc Trlhupa

One day Lucy and her brother were go
ing to the place where the ice cream was
kept Lucy was rOtting along holding
Charles's hand. She heard u strange noise
in the street near them. Looking, she saw
two boys with little ecru dog. One boy
had tied string to the poor little dogs tail,
and on the other end of the string was a
deserted oyster can.
"Oh, brother" said Lucy, "see what the
wicked boys are DONG"
And then the tears filed her eyes, be
cause she felt sorry tor the dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to let the
dog 20. They would not do this, but said
they would sell HIM the dog for twenty
five cents.
IF we buy the dog, Lucy, you can have
no ice cream, for have only twenty five
cents in my pocket" said Charles.
Then Lucy was very sad. for sho loved
ice cream dearly, but still she knew 1t was
her duty to prevent the dog from suffer
ing.
So for moment she was silent, and then
looking up to her brother she said in heI
pretty way: "You kick IN the ribs OF the
boys, dear brother and l will hustle the
pup up the alley" =,
And 50 Lucy had her Ice cream after all

GobI Words.
Most of the written remains of ancient Egypt
are religious. Many consist OF hymns to the
gods, and have pathos OF their own. Others
are lists OF oblations or of spoils taken in war.
These have no more literary pretensions than
an auctioneers catalogue or an In
ventory Of furniture. They give us,
however, very vivid idea Of Egyp-
tan belongings. The manifold productions
and riches of ancient Egypt now nowhere set
forth in more detail than in what is known as
the "Great Harris Papyrus," which contains
divers Of these summaries. 1t was found IN
tomb, and measures 1873 feet long, by 1864
inches broad Here we read OF the barge of
cedar with rivets Of gold-plated brass and
cabins adorned with precious stones; of houses
with doors and lintels Of gold, surrounded
by gardens planted with all kinds OF
fruits, and tanks for water fowl and
fish. Beside these are granaries Of corn
and treasures filled, or temples presented,
with a surprising amount Of miscellaneous
property, paint, spirits Of wine, honey, oil,
linen overcoats, embroidered caps, incense,
silver dishes and ladies', rings, onions, cedar
harps, bundles Of writing reeds, wax, leather
sandals, turquoses, perfumes, images, neck
laes, wine colored bed-clothes, etc The
most careful inventory was made Of the tscv-
