Few people who gaze upon the
treasures inclosed within the fragile
glass eases near the main entrance Of
the National Museum dream that any
material protection guards them from
burglarious and predatory paws, save
that watch is kept, as q matter Of
course, by persons in charge. Gold
and silver by the hundredweight are
there exposed to view, while the in
trinsic and historical value Of the ex-
hibits mounts up into the millions. Yet
all is open, with only thin sheets Of
crystal between the avaricious visitor
and the precious property Of the
American people,
Let the would be robber try It then /.
let him wait, and when lie is perfectly
certain the guard is not looking, lay
hands on so much as one small copper
penny of historic date exposed behind
the glass Lol an alarm rings through
the building, and from all sides the at
tendants flock to the rescue The thief
learns, too late for profitable inforina-
tion, that each copper silver or gold
piece in every case has separate ar
tachment to tlie burglar alarm in the
building. The accessibility Of the costly
objects is only apparent; the entire
police Of Washington is guarding them
day and night.
In the same way with the major as
well as with the minor treasures IN tile

articles and ornaments, jewels and
vases, everything Of value, in fact, are
guarded in the same way 1t is practi-

THE LITTLE LOVERS.


Think she has fallen asleep in the shade
(sing low, sing low you'll awake herr
Oh, she's the loyeliest little maid.
And her fathers our family baker,
Such beautiful huns and chocolate cakesf
GSing low, very low you'll alarm herr
And oh. such elegant tarts he niakesl
And his name Is Joshua Farmer
And her sweet name Is Elinor Jane.
And her step is as Hight as feather;
And we meet every day in the lilac lane.
And we 60 10 our school together.
And now and then she brings me a bun,
tSiny low or she'll hear what we're saying
And after school, when our tasks are done.
In the meadows we're fond Of straying.
And make her wreath Of cowslips there.
Aswe sit in the blossoming clover,
And then she binds It around her hair
And twines IL over and over.
She's ten: I'm six; but am as tall
As she is, guess, or nearly.
And cannot say that care for her doll;
But oh, do love her dearly.
We were tired Of playing at King and queen,
tSing low, f0rwe must not awake her.l
And she fell asleep in the grass 50 green;
And | thought that wouldn't forsake her.
And when am grown to 3 big, tall man,
mean 10 be smart and clever.
And then will marry her II ! can,
And we'll live upon tarts forever.

The common people Of Cairo resort to

The dancing Of the ass Is diverting

Upon this the ass falls down with his
feet upward, closing hiseyes and extend
ing his chest as II he were dead,
The owner loudly bewails bis loss, and
appeals to the bystanders for aims to
make II good. Then, having collected
as much as possible, he announces that
the ass Is not really dead, but being SEN
sible Of his masters necessity has played
Q trick to secure proyender
He commands the ass to rise, but the
brute remains motionless In spite Of all
the blows he can give him. At last he
proclaims that by virtue Of an edict Of

bound TO ride out thenext day upon the
comelicst asses they can find in order to

are to entertain their heists with oats
