of use," said the elm. 81 wonder how
many of them have seen die"
Besides" said the cornfield, "what
does she do for men? She cannot make
them strong and happy as 1 can"
"No," said the elm, TO be sure she
can't, and she can't save them from
catching their death through wet and
cold as 1 can by my strong shelter"
But the elm tree did not tell how a
huge branch of hers had been torn off by
lightning and had fallen upon the head
of poor traveller who had taken shelter
and had killed him. No, of course she
did not tell that story. She joined with
the cornfield in telling the rose that che
was conceited and useless and had never
made man, woman or child happier or
stronger.
The poor rose was very sad, for, like
many others, she did wish to be of some
little good in the world. Presently the
bee came humming by, and gathered the
honey from the rose, and as he gathered
it he whispered in the rose.:ree's ear, and
told her that rot the cornfeld nor the
stateliest tree could give the sweet gifts
which she gave him.
So when he went humming merrily
away to the hive the rose tree felt less
sad, for she knew that she was not
wholly useless in the world; but still she
longed to be of service to the men and
women and children. And soon all her
roses were plucked, and the bee came in
vain, humming over the leaves; there was
no sweet store left for him, and the rose
tree felt she was indeed of no use at all.
So she said to the bee: Poor friend, I
have no sweetness left for you. I am but
a useless thing"
"No, no." said the bee, "you stay here,
and you know little of what goes on in
the great big world; but 1 move about
and L see plenty. 1 know that you are
not useless, but that you have made glad
the hearts of many, Why, this morning
flew through a pleasant room where
saw bright faced children we're at break
fast; they were very happy, and 1 saw
them eating the honey that you helped
me to make; and 1 saw, too, III a vase in
the middle of the table one OF your roses
smiling at the children; and as they came
into the room, one by one, they said, Oh,
what lovely rose!' And 1 saw more
than that" said the bee. L saw a man
in the churchyard, and he had hand
full of your roses in his hand, and he went
to little graes-covered grave, and he
tenderly placed the roses upon the soft
turf; his face was very sad, but I think
when he saw your roses smiling over the
grave, that his heart was little less
sad"
| So the bee tried to comfort the rose
tree and to show her that her flowers had
done some good. And it was quite true
The flowers had done good, and far more
good than either the bee or the rose tree
ever knew.-Tfuth IN Tale.

ground. Puss has an Oriental love for
bright colore, especially of scarlet, and is
often seen rolling over and over on the
brilliant colors OF carpet to express her
delight.
Puss delights in perfume: she enjoys
the delicious odor of flowers and sweet
scented herbs. Valerian and catnip seem
to produce in puss state of jubilant in
toxication, when she purrs and rolls over
in ecstatic Joy; but the enjoyment is soon
followed by exhaustion and WEAKNESS.
She gets drunk on perfume and pays the
penalty.
Puss is fond of music; her voice glides
softly through the vowels; Mr.. Darwin
says she utters at least six or seven differ
ent sounds.
Puss does not talk much, but she ex-
presses by the graceful motions OF her
tail a great deal that human being
would express with the tongue. She has
the power of silently expressing sympa-
thy with delicacy rivaled by but few OF
her human friends. How tender the
sympathy she has been known to exhibit
for sick child. coming day after day
and placing in the cradle the most pre-
cious offering she could bring-a little

can paint, play chess, wash clothes, waltz
and slide down the balusters; also, those
five pussies who act as bell-ringers in
London, and ring out such sweet chimes
by fastening their sharp claws into soft
punches of wool attached to the bell
cord.
Puss came over to us probably in the
"Mayfower." In England, we hear of her
more than eight hundred years ago, when
she was considered such a valuable ami

there are some that are highly priced.

In China puss has served as clock,
telling by her eyes the hour OF the day;
and, after her death, the Chinese think

Puss has made herself useful in thou
sand ways too numerous to tell. She
once won great battle. King Cambyses
placed her in front of his army; and, puss
being a sacred animal, no one dared to
kill her, nor the enemy behind her.
Puss helped discover the telegraph,
with all the wonders that followed, and
are still following it, by teaching Benja-
min Franklin his first idea of electricity,
as she showed him the sparks on her
black hair.
Puss pointed the moral in the fable
where the monkey makes use of her paws
in pulling the roasted chestnuts from the
fire. In another fable, she nimbly runs
up tree in an hour of danger, and shows
