What are you carrying there?'
"Cloth," said the little boy, "for a
new shirt "Then you come to the
right one," said the crab. "Let me
take your cloth. y And he took it
and with his great shears he cut out a
little shirt very nicely. "There, lit
tie one" he said, "all that remains
to be done is to have it sewed."
The boy took it and went on sadly,
for he was afraid that even then he
could not have his new shirt till win
ter, when his mother would have time
to sew. But pretty soon he saw a
little bird sitting on bush, and the
bird twittered, "Wait, little one, let
me make your shirt" So the bird
took a long thread and flew back and
forth, working with its little beak, till
the shirt was sewed together. "Now,"
said the bird, "you have as nice a
shirt as one could wish. "
And the little boy put it on and ran
happily home to show it to his sisters
and brothers, and they all said they
had never seen nicer one Kindly

How a Cat Was Good to a Bird.

II can tell you strange story of
a cat" els it true" eyes, it is
true" A friend of mine had a pet
cat and tame bird. The name of
the cat was Fun; and Fun was SO
fond of the bird that it would play
with it for an hour at time.
The bird would hop out of its cage
and fly down to the cat, and the cat
would put out its paw and give the
bird soft pat on its head, as much
as to say, GLOW do you do? l am
glad to see you!"
And then the bird would sit and
sing to the cat, and the cat would say,
'mew, new, new" as If it wz1la
like to say, "Thank you. And
then the bird would fly short way
off, and the cat would run to try and
catch it; and then the bird would hop
off once more, and the cat would run
and jump, and do all that it could to
get up to the side of the bird, and
then the two would have a game of
play.
One day, when these two were at
high romps, all at once the cat made
q great spring, took the bird and ran
with it out of the room. Did it
harm the bird? You shall hear. 1t
was all done in 50 short a time that
my friend could not stop the cat. AS
quick as she could she got up from
her chair and went to see what the cat
had done with the bird. But just
then, what should she spy but a
strange cat that lay hid like a thief at
one end of the room. So my friend
drove the strange cat from the room
and then went to the door and called,
"Fun, Fun, Fun! come here, Fun !"
And then in came the bird, hop,
hop, hop; hop, hop, hop; and our
good cat Fun came close by its side.
And when Fun saw that the strange
cat was gone, it put its soft paw on
the bird, and gave it a pat, as much
as to say, "There, now you are safe,
quite safe! That strange cat is gone !;
now we may play and romp again.
And the bird sang little song that
seemed to say, as plain as words:
"My good cat, my brave Fun, how l
thank YOU"
If a cat and a bird can so learn to agree,
How kind to all creatures should we learn to
be. II Our Dumb Animals.

How a Little Boy Got a New Shirt.

How a Little Boy Got New Shirt.
There lived at one time a poor wid-
ow who had seven children, and all
must eat; so the poor mother had to
60 out to work all day, and only in
the winter evenings could she spin
and weave shirts for her children, that
they might not go naked. Each child
had but one shirt, and when the larg-
est one had outgrown his it went to the
next in size. So it happened that the
shirt that came to the youngest was
always so thin that the sun shone
through it.
The youngest child was a happy
little fellow four years old, who had
a wondrous love for animals and flow
ers. Whenever he saw a lamb he ran
to find fragrant leaves to feed it;
when he found young bird that had
fallen from the nest he carried it home
and fed it until it was grown, then let
it fly away. lie was fond of the
spiders, too, and when he found one
in the house he would carry it out of
doors, saying; 'This little creature
shall also i've" But one time his
little shirt had become 50 tim and old
that it fell from his body, and as it
was summer and his mother must 90
to her days work she could not make
him another. So he ran about just
as the dear God had made him.
One day as he was hunting for ber-
ries in the forest, he met lamb which
looked kindly at him and said,
"Where is your little Shirt" The
little boy answered sadly, 81 have
none and my mother cannot make me
one till next winter. But no, the new
one will be for my oldest sister and
mine will be an old one. Oh, if |
could only once have new shirt"
Then the lamb said: II am sorry for
you, | will give you my wool and you
can have new shirt made of it," SO
the lamb pulled all his wool off and
gave it to the little boy.
As he now passed by thorn-bush
with his wool, the bush called, "What
are you carrying there?" "Wool,"
said the little boy, "to make me a
shirt" "Give it to me-" said the
thorn-bush, 81 will card it for you.
The boy gave his wool to the bush,
which passed its thorny branches to
and fro and carded the wool most
beautifully. "Carry it carefully"
cried the bush, $50 that you do not
spoil it,"
So he carried the soft rolls carefully
along till he saw the web of a spider,
and the spider sat in the middle of it
and called to him, "Giye me your
wool, little one. | will spin the
threads and weave them. | see al
ready how it is" Then the spider
began and worked buslly with his
little feet, and spun and wove the
finest piece of cloth you ever saw,
and gave it to the child who trotted
merrily along with it till he came to a
brook, and there sat great crab
which called out, "Where so fast?

New Way Of Copying Letters.

A German journal gives the follow
ing process for making blotting paper
able to give copies of letters. Soak
four parts of the best clear glue in a
mixture of five parts of pure water and
three parts OF ammonia liquor until the
glue is thoroughly softened. Warm it
till the glue is dissolved, and add three
parts of granulated sugar and three
parts of glycerine, stirring the whole
well, and let it come to the boiling
point. While the mixture is hot paint
it with a broad brush on clean white
blotting paper until the latter is
thoroughly soaked and thin coating
remains on the surface. Let it dry for
two or three days, and it will be ready
for use. The writing or sketch to be
copied is done with the usual aniline
ink on writing paper Before trans
ferring it to the blotting paper wet the
latter with a sponge or brush and clean
water, and allow it to stand for one or
two minutes. Place the written side on
the blotting paper. A number of cop
les can then be made after the manner
of the ''graph" process from the blot
ting paper. When the impressions
grow faint dampen the surface of the
blotting paper again. -Casseps Maqc
