reciprocity in that line.

Small pleasure boats propelled by

served since last summer upon one OF
the lakes OF tho Bois de Boulogne.
Their mechanism is Ingenious. The
Idea Of substituting . screw actuated
by pedals for oars or paddle wheels Is
not new. but this is the first time that
we have seeii 1t realized In sufficient
" practical manner To assiiine the pro-
portions of genuine enterprise. The
motive system Of this new boat, de'
vised by Mr.. Wallet, has much analogy
with that Of bicycles, and It is
for this reason that It has been
called q bicycle boat. One Of
the models especially (the one fig
urcd ~, which is designed for one per-
son, recalls the bicycle. In another
model, designed for several persons,
the saddle is replaced by an arm chair,
as shown in the general view at the top
Of the engraving. In both systems
the motor is the same. II consists OF q
horizontal shaft that passes through
the stern of the boat and carries the
screw. To this SHIFT are keyed two bevcl
wheels, A and i, either Of which may
be thrown into gear at will with a
third mounted upon 4 vertical axis.
The latter receives motion from tho
pedals through the intermedium OF IN
endless chain running over a sprockct
wheel. A hand wheel keyed to the
top of this axis keeps up the motion
and renders 1t regular.

five years do best with only ono meat

in the morning or at noon. After Eve
years, both the breakfast and the mid
day meal may include some meat An

TIE UNGRATeFuL FOX,

story OF an Ancient Feud Between tho
Birds and the Animals.
1t was beautiful spot in which to
wander; the park with its long
stretches Of velvety turf, and avenues
OF stately trees, and the dim forest
carpeted with hundreds of fragrant
aowers, and murmuring with softest
kephyrs (for it was always summer In
the long ago.. Very few human beings
ever passed through the pnrls or forest;
but they had many inhabitants, for all
the animals and birds that arc found
In our country retreats now made their
peaceful and undisturbed homes there.
They did not dwell all together.
The forest belonged to the birds, and
the park to the animals; and neither
ever sought the others domain, for tho
pheasant, who was the head of the
birds, and the fox, who ruled over the
animals, hated each other. One day,
however, young and foolish fox,
roaming about, strayed on and on until
he found himself in the forest. Try
ing to mako his way back to his home
he bscame caught in holly bush, and
there stood lamcnting piteously. Very
soon pretty, soft eyed pigeon flew
along. AS soon as she caught sight of
the captive fox she turned to fly away,
in fear; but the prisoner began to
plead SO for help that she stayed her
flight and, venturing close up to him,
asked If she could help him.
"ohl fairest bird, If you would but
release me from these cruel brambles |
shall be ever grateful cried the little
fox.
And the little pigeon, touched by his
distress, overcame her fears, and going
up to him, tugged so vigorously at the
brambles with her beak that in a mo-
ment or two the fox was freed. JOY
fully he ran off, and soon found him
self in his own domain. His friends
had begun to wonder at his absence,
and inquired where he had been. Then,
mounting the root Of tree, the fox
babe them all gather round him while
he told them his adventure. When he
had concluded, oil the animals declared
that he had been nobly treated by an
enemy.
"And now, dear friends, let us show
that we can be generous to our foes as
WE'LL" cried the young fox, who enjoyed
the dignity of his position on the tree
stump. my father, who rulesus all, Is
as you know, very i'll, but in his abb
eence make decree that any inhab-
liant of the forest, whoever he may be,
shall not be treated as prisoner OF
war, but honorably conducted into
safety and freedom"
Time went on, the old fox died, and
the young one became ruler of the
park; but the grandeur of his position
made him proud and overbearing. Ono
day, when great storm had been
raging In the park and forest the
youthful ruler hurried forth from his
home to preside over n meeting in the
stags' cave, AS he trotted down
through dark avenue OF trees he
