the surface of the water, while the
massive LEAKAGE, green as emerald, was
supported on long stalks far above the
flowers and standing parasol-like to
shield the floral gems from the scorchinp
sun. u
1.-The blue water plant (Nymphea)
was less fortunate, though quite as
beautiful as its pink neighbor, bv having
its flowers and foliage lying flat on the
surface, and it was remarkable that
those flowers which shared the shade of
the pink lily's leafage were of a much
brighter blue. The white variety then

little gray mouse peeping out of a cor
ner, he laughed to himself, and pulling
fish-line out of his pocket, be baIted
the hook with bit of cheese from his
dinner basket, and began to fish, throw
ing his line out as far as he could toward
the mouse-hole.
It was not long before the teacher saw
him.

beating very fast and choking in his

his hole again.

could smell the cheese.

attention to business, and by carefully
compromising prescriptions, of which
he makes a specially, and parties en-
trusting the filing Of prescriptions to
