Ireland, is a long tract of turf coming
to the edge of the rocks overhanging
tho sea, where cattle and geese feed;
at barn on this tract there was low
inclosure with door fastening by a
hook and staple to the sidepost; when
the hook was out of the staple, the door
fell open by its own weight. He one
day saw goose with large troop OF
goslings coming off the turf to this
door, which was secured by the hook
being in the staple. The goose waited
for minute or two, as if for the door
to be opened, and then turned around as
If to go away, but what she did was to
make rush at the door, and making a
dart with her beak at the point of the
hook nearly threw it out of the staple;
she repeated this maneuver and sue
ceeded at the third attempt. The door
fell open. and the goose led her troop in
with sound of triumphant chuckling.
How had the goose learned that the
force of the rush was needful to give the
hook sufficient toss?-James Weir,

THE STORY OF A RED APPLE.
BY FANNY f. ROGERS.

One day long. long ago, little boy
came home from school eating beauti
full red apple. He ate all of it that was
good, and threw down the core on the
hillside.
Pretty soon bird flew by and began
to eat the black seeds from the core. He
left one seed all alone, and after while
the little fairy that was sleeping in that
seed began to wake, and little roots went
down and little sprout went up.
Slowly, year by year, the little tree
grew to be big tree. Down grew the
roots into Mother Earth, out grew the
branches, and up grew the top toward
the sky.
In winter the children Away started
to slide down hill at the apple tree. They
would stop after Juggling up the hill
with their sleds and break off an icicle
from one of the branches. Icicles are
Jack Frost's candy that he hangs all
about us in winter. Little Margaret
tried to carry her icicle to mamma. but
it would not stay in the saucer where
she put it. but would run away.
All winter the tree stood quiet and
bare. but by-and-by it seemed to be wax
ing up. and one day what do you think
happened? Why. lots of little green
leaves came peeping out Of their nests.
where they had been so long. and on
Easter day, when the sunbeams came
out quietly touching the tree tops SO
early in the morning, little song spar
row seated herself on the very topmost
branch and sang. oh. such merry song.
When the children ran out to see her,
there was the apple tree all covered
with green leaves.
The April days passed and May day
came. Now the children were going to
have May party and dance around the
Maypole. but when they looked out TO
see il it was pleasant morning. behold
the apple tree appeared like one great
big bunch of flowers.
So they said. Lets have our apr lie
tree for our Maypole and dance around
that"
So they had a fine time dancing
around the apple tree, and the song
sparrow sang to them because she felt
happy, too.
BY and by it rained hard. and down
came white shower OF apple blossoms

som leaves. But she couldn't; so she
picked violets underneath the tree and
carried them to her mamma.
So the days passed. sunshiny days
when it was very hot; showery days
when the wind blew.

laid five dear little eggs. and the nest

HELEN KELLER.

"The slender young girl says the New
York Herald, sin her dainty little white
evening dress, who, despite the fact that
she is blind and deaf, and was unable
until within few years. to utter articu-
late sounds stood in the parlors of the
Wright Humason school, at No. 40 West
Seventy sixth street, New York, recently.
and received her guests with one con-
tinuous stretch of social impressions
enough to crowd five senses, has excited
intense interest all over the world.
Although only fourteen years old,
Helen Keller has wider range of infor-
nation than has sifted into the minds of
the vast majority of men through their
unimpaired senses sometimes when their
hair has silvered.
She was not born blind and deaf and
mute, but lost the use of her faculties
through scarlet fever at the age of eight
cen months. She later regained the
ability to speak through the instruction
tending to make her formulate words.
even though unable to hear the sound.
Miss Sullivan, who went to her when
she was seven years old, has been her
constant companion and teacher ever
since.
The marvellous dexterity which Helen
is acquiring in the reading of speech and
conversation by simply placing her fing-
ers on the lips Of the speaker is equaled
by the readiness with which she repeats
accurately the words which are spoken
to her.
AS various persons of social and lit
erary prominence paid their respects to
her she talked with them upon topics
of mutual interest When Edmund
Clarence Stedman approached and be-
gan conversation, she surprised him
by repeating one of his poems, and was
equally well prepared to prove to Rich
ard Watson Glider her familiarity with
his dainty songs.
From large volume of Tennyson. in
the raised letter of print for the blind,
she read several stapzas of I'm Memoir
iam." When asked whether she pre-
ferred that to others of the authors
poems, she replied: "Oh, no! like it,
but not the best, because it is SO full of
sorrow. am very fond of Dora and
The Princess" but it is very hard to say
which like best. l think the one l
love most is very short one-one Of
only six lines. and, turning upward
face filed with exquisite purity, she re-
peated:

1 pluck you out of the crannies;
Hold you there. root and all. In my hand.

The slight touch of her finger-tips as
her friends passed before her supplied
her wonderful memory with the ma
terial for recognition. and as they babe
her goodnight she took each by the
hand, and with slight touch of her
hand to the face, with courteous phrases
and kindly wishes, bade each by name
goodnight.
One Of the most impossible features
is her attitude 10 her more fortunate

tive faculties are coucerned-is her ex-
tremely lovable disposition, which &C.

Now the moon had seen the child
rem. and had fallen quite in love with
their beauty and goodness. So she
spoke with the West Wind, and
asked him to help her. One night,
when the moon was full. the children
went for water, as was their won't.
Then they noticed for the first time
how low the moon hung in the sky.
And her face seemed to be pleasant
and smiling, and her warm light fell
on them like mothers loving kiss.
AS they looked, the West Wind came
along, and asked them to go with
him little ways. When they inquired
how far he was going, he answered,
"Only to the moon"
They laughed, and said they would
go with him; and he kept his word,
and took them up to the moon, where
they can now be seen from the earth,
with the pole and the bucket on their
shoulders.
Another story which they are fond
of telling is how Njavvisena tanned
the reindeer, and made them servicea-
BILE to the Lapps. And you can
imagine how the little Lapps open
their eyes at the picture of the beauti-
full daughter of the sun coming down
to the earth to instruct their distant
ancestor.
Once the Lapp did not have his big
drove of reindeer. These animals
were all wild, and lived in the forest,
and were SO shy that the hunters shot
them only by stalking them,-of
course, approaching them from lee
ward. But one day hunter who had
shot stag, and was dressing it, was
surprised to see beautiful woman
coming toward him over the snow.
Magic veso How do you do]?"
she said. do you not know me? l
am Njavvisena, the daughter of the
sun. have seen how poor you are,
and how you nearly starve in the cold
winter; and my father has let me
come down toteach you how to make
your life easier.
"Come to this spot to morrow, and
you will find two reindeer, stag and
doe, holden by their antlers in the
wood. Place this bell upon the neck
of the stag, and he will become tame;
and you can lead him to your CANINE.
The doe will follow him."
She then gave into his hands tiny,
silver thinking bell, and disappeared.
The hunter returned the next day,
and found, as she had told him, a
couple of deer caught by their horns
in the bushes. He led them home as
she had directed, and from them have
descended the countless herds that
are now in Lapland.
These are some of the stories told
in Lapland CANINE to the children
during the long winter nights, when
the cold winds moan in the pine
woods and the snow sparkles under
the radiance of the Northern Lights.
