Hercules and the Hawk.

lin canal bridges the other day no.

black points il the sky at a considera,
BILE distance away. which developed
into two ducks. Behind them, at a
lower level, few another bird, which
suddenly rose into the air above the
ducks and then shot down upon them
like an arrow One of the ducks flew
sideways toward the Thiergarten; the
other, closely pursued by its enemy,
few slanting into the canal, and,
reaching the water exactly behind the
bridge. Owed, while the hawk. in his
blind haste. struck against the head
of a statue of Hercules and fell, once
more tapping its great wings. dead on
the pavement of the bridge. The bird
was a splendid specimen, the wings
having an expansion of Ioore than
three feet.

Carrier Pigeons,

A great interest has always been
manifested in these faithful birds,
probably because they are, and have
been. trusted with messages of the
greatest importance in times of wal
and peace. 1t is seldom that the mes
SagcS are not delivered. and then not
because the pigeon has been unfairn-
full to its trust. but because some mis-
hap has befallen il. 1t is reported that
during IN of the late great wars in
Europe numbers of these pigeons were
employed as messengers with success.
Tissue paper, in sheets about four
inches wide and ten inches long, is
used to write upon, so a considerable
amount of correspondence can be car
ried on at a time. Sometimes this is
wrapped around the legs Of the pigeon,
Ike a bandage; again, it may be Sc
cured with Il piece Of twine. or ii may
be folded up tightly and placed in a
little drum-shaped pellet and tied to
the birds leg. Occasionally it may be
attached to the wings or tail but this
method has not been followed with
best results. We have seen pictures
on valentines of white doves carrying
huge envelopes secured about their
necks with Il yard or two Of blue rib
bon. This is probab bly, responsible for
the belief hat messages are carried
by pigeons in such a manner but it is
only true in pictures.

AUNTY's FAIRY TRAP
How the Wnad I

How the wood Fairy Was Caught
How it did comfort old Aunty Can
dace's lame back and stiff shoulders!
But she wondered more and more
every morning. when she went out
into her little kitchen and found the
woodbOx full of sticks, laid straight
and even, and the little pile of shay
lngs and kindlings close by it. 1t was
every winter morning before Aunty
C~andace's shining black face came
out Of its white nightcap. She never
thought of locking the wood house
door, TO be sure. SO the wood fairy
If 1t was a ~fairy-could get in quite
easily. Aunty Candace examined the
foot prints in the now outside the
door. There We're ever so many of
them, going and coming and crisscroSs-
ing.
"They're powerful little" Aunty Can-
dacc said thOughtfully, "an pears like
there's two pairs of 'em. / reckon
there is two"
SO she planned a little trap to catch
the wood fairies. for she did want so
much TO get a chance to thank them
and tell them what a blessing they
were to her rheumatism. Aunty Can
dace made splendid great molasses
dOughnutS, most as big as Il dinner
plate and good enough for the queen
to a instead Of bread and honey"
Aunty put two doughnuts, Especially
big and luscious. on the kitchen table,
with a M nor that said i'm hiO npintinU
letters that they were for the two
wood fairies. Aunty had never been
10 school and didn't spell very well. so
morning one of the %doughnutS was
gone. all but a few crumbs. Then
there's only II of them" Aunty Can
dac" said, an he's a good, honest n
not to touch the other dOughnut." a
dear little u pie went on the table
that night. 1t was baked a golden
brown and through the little Sits in
the crust there were delightful
glimpscs Of strawberry preserves.
Aunty laid n knife and fork beside the
pie as Il gentle hint for it to be eaten
right on the spot. Then she got up
next morning n little earlier and went
out to see if her tempting trap had
| caught a fairy. Yes, indeed! There
he sat on the kitchen floor. eating the
saucer pie with the heartiest relish.
Aunty's black face shone more than
ever. The fairy had on an ulster and
two little red legs stretched out from
under it. and a little red wOrsted cap
lay beside the right red leg. He was
Il stout little fairy with red cheeks,
too. and the merriest. the ~pleaSantest
little face you ever saw! He looked
up at Aunty Candace and smacked his
lips.
"Oh. N.Y. he said. "Ain't it good,

In n Candy Factory.

From top to bottom the floors of the

noticed that there We're people en-
gagged in all parts Of the building

looking young women, all with caps
on. were working away, each one with
a little saucepan before her full of

bow. The workwomen would take up
an almond or Il pictache-nut. and drop
il in the saucepan, hen fish 1t out
with Il bit Of wire fashioned in loop
form. The art was to get JUS the
proper coating. Then with a deXterouS
motion of the wrist the sugar-plum
would be placed in n tin pan, and with
n def motion of the wire loop a nice
finish would be given to the top of it.
There were some very small sugar
plums. and il would take two hundred
of them to make a pound. They were
all cXact in form. These little things,
so the foreman told me. had gone
through ten processes before they a
arrived at their present condition.
Some of the sugar-plums were made
in moulds. There was pure legerde-
main about these. A man took a fun
mel. and dropped the sugar, just at the
crystalizing point, in moulds. They
were very small things, nor more than
an inch long by half an inch wide, but
