There is a great brook which flows past

but in summer II III dry. One warm June
day Oscar found a fish in a little pool;
everywhere else the channel Of the brook
was empty, and soon the tiny pool would
be dry, too, and then thepoor fish must die.
Oscar took pity on him. He carried him
home In his dinner pail and threw him into
the we'll. There the little fish lived and
flourished, and IL vas Oscars delight to
watch him as he swan around In circles.
Oscar kept him several years, but once he
was going from home on q long jousaey
and he was afraid that his pet might be
neglected in his absence. So he concluded
to put him into the lake into which the
brook flowed.
After Oscar had thrown him In be stood
on the shore Of the lake and watched TO ses
what the little fellow would do when he
found himself at liberty. The water was
clear and still, and the tiny trout could be
distinctly seen through the CLASSY waves.
Now, what do you think this little silly
fish did, The great lake was before him.
and he could go just whore he pleased. but
instead of darling from place to place like
the other fishes he only swan around In
tiny circles just as large as the well in
which he used to live-Youth's Com.

A method of catching birds by the chill
dren of the far north Is by means Of a net
stretched across an old iron hoop taken
from some wrecked whaler. All through
the summer months great numbers of
phalarope are TO be found along the shore.
The little boys set the hoop net in the wa
ter abont three fest from the beach, work
ing II into the sand until 1t will stand
alone; then with a small line attached to
the top Of the hoop they 90 up the beach
and scoop out a place In the sand to hide
In and await the coming Of the birds, which
are constantly going to and fro near the
beach, and aey feed in the ripple or
wash along q shore the most of them
will pass between the hoop and the beach.
When q number OF birds are directly in
front of the trap a smart pull cd the line
brings the machine down over the birds,
often catching from three N six st one fall
of the trap. In a few hours they will catch
a hundred or more birds.-Forest and

HI DpI DAY.


Secret marriages are in every country IN
Europe considered illegal.
The Greek church employs two rings In
the marriage ~ceremony-one OF gold, the
other of silver.
A hundred years ago. when the bride had
a fortune, the newspapers stated that fact
and gave also the amount.
In Samoa the bride wears a wreath Of
flowers, a dress Of cocoa mating, and has
her face colored with turmerie.
Wedding rings engraved with the device
of a heart and two clasped hands have been
foundin Egyptian tombs dating B. G. 1000.
In most churches Of England a ring is
kept so that embarrassment may be spared
in case of forgetfulness of the parties con-
cerned.
The brides veil Is a relic OF the ''care
CLOTH a canopy held over the virgin bride
by our Saxon forefathers to conceal her m
barrassment.
The white ribbons and favors used at
weddings" today are embiematic OF the time
when the brides garters were cut up into
bits and distributed among the young men
and women present for good luck.
In one country district Of Germany ''pay
weddings" were in vogue as late as the pres
ent century, each guest paying for his en-
t%ertainment as much rs he would at an
inn, the receipts going to set up the happy
pair in their new home.
At the wedding of George III a stout,
