keys on his back, which he often
carried about in this tanner. When he
thought fit to ride, he would watch
behind a cask on the days the pigs were
let loose, dart on to their backs as they,
passed, dig his nails into them to keep
himself on, and the faster they ran, and
the more they squealed, the happier
he seemed to be. His most important,
misdemeanors, however, were per-
formed to the injury Of his fellow-mon-
keys, of whom he was very jealous.
The smaller ones were very %obsequious
to him, and when he called them by Q

Elsie Learning to Mind.

Elsie is only two years old, and does
not talk very plainly. When any one
asks her for her name she says: CPS
Sassy" And a pretty good name for!
her it is, for she does not mind mamma
or grandma very well, and when they,
try to train her to be a good girl she
sometimes looks very saucy indeed,
Grandma has a great many beautiful
flowers, and Elsie knows very well she
ought not to touch them; but for all,
that she will pick some whenever she
goes into the garden alone for a mo-
nment. One day She came into the house
with a lovely lily hanging its yellow
hand. She did not say anything, but
she looked half-ashamed and half-def-
ant when grandma took it from her and
scolded her, saying she was a naughty,
naughty little girl to pick grandma's
flowers, and if she did SO any more she
would have to be shut up in the closet.
After awhile grandma thought she
would get more flowers to put with the
lily, for a mantel bouquet; SO she went
out into the garden and picked a.
great handful. When she came into
the house with them Elsie looked from
grandma to the flowers and back to
grandma again, and, shaking her head
with a stern frown that looked very
comical on her chubby face, she said:,;
"Ah, ali! naughty grandma pick e
flowers. Shut'e up in c'oset!" That
lesson had to be taught over again.
Elsie loves to look at pictures, and her,
mamma often shows her those in bound
volumes of illustrated magazines. In!
some of these are birds flying high in
the air, where they look like specks Of
tiny crosses, and mamma tells her they
are brides. =.
One day a wasp came in at the win
dow, and flew around the upper part Of
the room, humping his head against the
ceiling every minute. This made il
very angry, and it buzzed very loudly
indeed. Elsie shouted: ga birdie! q
birdie!!' and reached for it with both
hands. Just then it flew down toward
the little girl, and grandma, afraid that.
it might sting her, hit it with a book.
It fell to the floor, and lay as if it were
dead; so grandma went for the DUST.
pan and brush to sweep it up and carry
it away; but first she told Elsie not to
touch it, for it might sting her. When,
grandma was gone, Elsie went close
to the wasp andlooked at it. It lay very
still, and she felt sure that such a quiet
birdie, such a lovely yellow-and-black
birdie, would never hurt a little girl; SO
she stopped over and took it between.
her thumb and finger; but oh! how.
quickly she dropped it, and how she ran
screaming to grandma, holding up that
poor little thumb, that turned red and
then white, and swelled up as big as
two thumbs, all in a minute; forthough
the head of the wasp seemed dead, the
sting was very much alive, indeed. 1t
took a strong bath of soda and water
for the suffering thumb, two big ginger
snaps, and a great deal of kissing and
petting to soothe "%grandma's baby
and even then she nearly cried again
when grandpa came home, and she
tried to tell him how she 'des pull g
birdie leg, an e birdie bit Sassy" That
lesson did not have to be learned again.
