2ptie tried to coax her just TO try the
other way and see how much nicer it
was. but Pessie would not be persuaded:
neither would She listen to the song.
After awhile some boys were seen
coming through the woods, and our two
little fairies hid behind a tree till they
should pass.
As one of the boys went by the tree.
his foot struck the pile of nuts which
had been carefully gathered, and scat
tered them all among the grass.
@oh, dear. exclaimed Pes.sie. when
they were by, stamping her foot and
snatching up her glasses. Just see
what those great big boys have done:
and we viii have an our work TO do
over. Tor see how far away they have
scattered our nuts
s'Oh never mind. answered Optic.
cheerfully, as she peered through her
glasses. They were quite little boys.
and probably did not notice them; be-
sides il won't take long to pick them
UP again. They are only scattered a
little wav And She set brislly 70
work and had half Of them picked up
before Pessie had smoothed the wrin-
kles from her face.
And So it always was. If ANYTHING
pleasant came in their way. Optic al
ways looked through the side of her
glass which made il appear as big as
possible, or if anything unpleasant was
discovered, she would look through the
other side of her glass to make it
seem very small and insignificant in
deed; while Pessie always took the OPP
posite course. and magnified the un-
pleasant things, but was quite unwill-
ing that the good things should APP
pear as large as they really We're,
OF course Optic had a much better
time than Pessie; but She never could
persuade her sister to look through the
same side Of the glass that She did and
finally she gave up trying, and laugh
ingly declared that Pessie really en-
joyed her way of looking at things, and
so she should let her alone.
Well. when Optic and Pessie grew
older and had households Of their own
to look after. they still used their magic
glasses. but by this time they had be-
come so trained in the use Of them that
they could see peoples thoughts and
motives as if they We're the people them
selves.
One morning Optic said to Rainbow.
her husband Che was always such gay
little fellow that everyone called him
Rainbowl Now, dear, do remember
to 20 to the silllspider's before YOU
come home, and bring me some threads
for my embroidery"
Rainbow said he would but when
he came back he had forgotten all
about it,
Optic felt little inclined TO scold.
for she very much wanted TO finish her
that day, but first she took
up her glasses and looked right into
mind.
1T was very little forget, after
all. she said TO herslf; not at all |
worth making any fuss about" And
so Rainbow had his favorite supper of |
and honey, and in the even
ing they both took walk to the silk
SPIDERS, and the embroidery was fin
ished the next day.

did the homework neglected to set

A Fifth Century Arbor Day in the Swiss
city Of Brugg.

A Fifth Century Arbor Day in the Swiss
! city of Brugg.
The origin Of Arbor day is attributed
10 the state Of Nebraska, and certainly
| this state seems the most enthusiastic
and industrious in celebrating the OBJ
servance. for since its Inauguration no
less than four hundred million trees
have been planted by the school chill
dren and citizens of the state. and
prizes have been given TO those plant
| ing the largest number of trees. But
I in an old Swiss chronicle il is related
that away back in the fifth century
the people of little Swiss town called
/ Brugg assembled in council and re-
solved 10 plant a forest Of oak trees
on the common The first rainy
day thereafter the citizens began
their work They dug holes IN the
ground with canes and sticks and drop
ped an acorn into each hole, trampling
the dirt over them. Upward Of twelve
sae4s were s9vn in this way. aud after
the work was done each citizen received
wheaton roll as reward.
Great oaks from little acorns grow,

was all in vain, for the seeds never
came up. Perhaps the acorns were laid
too deep. or it might have been the
trampling of so many feet had packed
the earth too firmly Whatever the
cause the acorns refused TO sprout.
and the towns-people sowed the
same ground with rye and oats. and
after the harvest they tried the
acorn planting again this time in an
other by blowing the soil and
sowing the aeorns in the burrows. But
again the great oaks refused 20 grow;
grass came up instead, and the people
were disappointed But an oak grove
they were determined TO have. SO after
this second failure few wise men put
their heads together and decided to
gain the desired result by transplant
ing. A day was appointed lin October,
and the whole community. men, women
and children. marched TO the woods.
dug mp an oak sapling and transplant
ed it on the common. At the close
Of the exercises each girl and boy
was presented with a roll. and in
the evening the grown people had
a merry feast in the town hall
This time the trees grew, the people
Of Brugg were pleased and satisfied
and instituted the day of tree-planting
as yearly holiday. Every year as the
day came round the children formed in
line and marched to the oak grove,
bringing back twigs or switches. thus
proving that the oaks were thriving,
and every year at the close of the
parade the rolls were distributed to be
eaten in remembrance Of the day.
This festival still exists and is known
as The Switch Parade" but You win
recognize that our "Arbor Day" is only
an old custom revived Christian at
Work.

Was Drawn Forty Years Ago.

An example of what used to be ac. complished in drawing in our public schools some forty years ago can be seen at the office of Dr. E. l.. Bissell on Crown street. This work of art in drawing, etc, is a map of the United States, 10x12 inches in size, which was executed by Dr. Bissell when in his youth. He was a pupil in the Web- ster school. corner of York and George Itreets, then for years under the tutorship of the late Prelate Dim- mick. The map Is not only most correctly drawn, but nicely colored, all the rivers and towns dis tinctly visible. It is in the original black frame, as presented to Tutor Dimmick by his pupil. Master Bissell, soon after its completion and just pre-. vious to MT. Dimmick's decease, which occurred only few years ago. He re- quested his nephew, Freeman M. Wiser of this city, to return 1t to Dr. Bissell, to be handed down to future generations as a memento of free hand drawing. as taught in our public schools In their early days of art work. The map would make valuable acquisi- tiom to the New Haven Historical )ociety.
