Untold Lies.

The art of telling lie by telling the
truth, but less than the whole of it. is
cultivated by some people; and when
their trick of concealment is by some
chance found out. they are never quite
believed afterward.
A person of this type was once relat-
ing certain circumstances to an ac-
quaintance. who appeared, perhaps, a
trifle incredulous.
"What!" exclaimed the narrator; do
you suspect what / tell your"
"Oh no." answered the other; "but l
suspect what you don'i tell mew
The remark was an apt one, and ought
to have been warning to the speaker.
But inasmuch as this person was grown
to years of discretion. and still kept back
a part of the truth, it is doubtful if any
experience could teach him to be really
truthful. Toere is great deal of I'M
truthfulness latent somewhere in human
nature, and unless one is drought up
to tell the truth" and taught in child
hood to abhor lie in any shape there
is very little hope that such a person
will become outspoken and candid

A Queer Place For Birds Home.

One evening last summer tramp. who
had travelled many miles. lay down on
the leaves in a pleasant wood. Before
he went to sleep he pulled off one shoe,
for it had chafed his foot till it was very
sore.
In the morning he rose. and prepared
to go on to beg his morning meal. When
he tried to put his shoe on. it hurt his
foot so badly that he groaned aloud. He
gave up trying to wear it, and threw it
into the bushes.
The shoe caught in the fork of young
maple-tree, and hung fast by the heel,
with the toe downward. The tramp
limped away on his journey and went
don't know where.
Before many days bright-eyed little
bird spied the shoe. She thought it
would be fine place TO build home in.
So she and her mate brought fine twigs
and straw and leaves in their bills. They
placed them in the shoe in pretty nest
shape. and lined their new house with
sou mar anu WOOL.
Beth and her papa were out searching
for wood flowers one day. The shadow
of the shoe fell on the moss beneath the
little maple. Looking up Beth saw the

and Beth looked in. She saw five Gun
ming little blue eggs lying costly against
the gray lining.
Beth is a tiny girl, just past being
rocked to sleep in mammals lap. She
laughed aloud, and clapped her fat little
hands for Joy, when she saw this dainty
sight.

BASKET BALL.

Basket ball was first played at Spring
field, Mass, few years ago, as an in.
door game. to relieve the dreary monot
ony of Swedish gymnastics. 1t soon
gained in popularity. and is now known
in all the public schools and even among
the colleges for girls. 1t is game
which hardens the muscles. quickens
the eye and adds to the alertness and
suppleness of the human body.
just one warning. Don't imagine the
game is mo good" because girls can play
it. Think how they manage golf. tennis
and many another sport. even more
skillfully than their brothers.
1t is game that can be played on any
level space, although it should not be
less than 60x30 feet, and either indoors
or outdoors. In addition to your space
all you need are two fruit baskest and a
football, we'll inflated and with plenty Of
bounce to it.
You must have nine men for each side
and you are ready to begin.
The object of the game is, of course. to
put the ball in the baskets, the red try
ing to reach the red. basket goal. and
the white trying to score on the white
goal. All this is not so easy as it may
appear. There lie strong similarity
between basket ball and Rugby football.
with the exception that there are no
rules against "off side" and that the ball
must not be kicked or hit forward by
hand or any part of the body. The ball
must not be held by anything except the
hands. and players must not run with
the ball, though they may run to meet
it or to follow it. The spirit of the game
is to catch and pass. and the one who
catches most deftly and passes with
swittness and judgment is the better
player.
Basket ball is a splendid exercise for
those who are not robust enough to en-
JOY football, and affords opportunities
for combination play. giving each player
chance to show off his skill. Even
doctors have nothing to say against
basket ball. 1t brings every muscle into
play. and demands exercise of skill and
GOODNESS. There is more rafting fun to
be gotten out of a basket ball game than
any one would think who has never
played it.

Fault Finders.

Many people have genius for seeing
the faults of others. but there is one
popularity about this faculty which will
be an interesting study for the psycholo-
gist; it is the tendency to criticise most
sharply those faults in others which are
M ost prominent is ourselves. In other
words, that which excites our greatest
antagonism is the duplication of our
own traits. 1t would be amusing, if it
were not disturbing and pathetic, to
hear people criticise mercilessly traits
10 others which everybody recognizes as
being the special possession of the critics
themselves. 1t is pathetic because it
shows how little we know about our
selves. and it is disturbing because it
suggests to the listener that he may be
doing precisely the same thing. In all
probability he is. So little do we know
ourselves, as rule. that when we see
parts of ourselves in others we detest
them. If we recognized them as being
in sense our own possessions. we might
not like them any better. but we should
surely sympathizs with their possessors.
II there is any common experience which
ought to draw us together. it is identity
of struggle and temptation. We ought
to stand shoulder to shoulder with those
who are fighting the same fight which
we are fighting, and who find in them
selves the same tendencies to evil or to
weakness; and yet these are the very
people from whom, as rule. we with
draw ourselves most entirely. and upon
whose shoulders the lash of our criticism
falls most mercilessly.-Great Thoughts.

Mrs. Griswold's story is well adapted for
home reading and Sunday-school libraries.
The scene of The story is laid in Wisconsin
early in the. '4O's. and it traces the history of
young girl, from childhood to wOmanhood, un-
folding the cps of her intellectual develop
ment, and her growth into noble character.
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young, ami will be es
pecially interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In Waiting on Destiny the author provides
for girl readers a well-written and beautiful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure and elevating,

THE OFFER TO CUBA.

The latest version Of the offer Of so-called au-
tonomy to Cuba is distinctly less hopeful than
the former accounts OF it appeared. II is an
Improvement upon the Abarzuza scheme or
three years ago, and upon all previous offers.
But il contains some OF the features which
made those plans unacceptable 10 the Cubans,
and, though they arc not now quite so uncom-
pronsingly expressed, it is to be feared they
will have the same eff 'ct as before
One point relates to the upper chamber Of the
proposed Legislature. The lower chamber is TO
be elected by popular vote. That is all right
But the upper chamber, 1t is said, is to
contain thirty five members of whom eighteen
only are to be elected and the other seventeen
are TO be appointed by the Crown. 1t is proba-
bic that several of the elected members Will
also be Peninsulars But If only one of them
shall be- that will give the Madrid Government
absolute control OF the entire Cuban Govern
ment just as much as ut present. 1t requires
no argument to show that such n system would
not be regarded as satisfactory autonomy.
Another point has TO do with the tariff.
Spanish imports into Cuba. or such Of them as
Spain desires are TO have preferential rights
OF not more ;han % per cent over those Of all
other countries That will assuredly prove OBJ
rights are granted to Cuban imports into Spain.
one of the things the business men of Cuba
have most Of all demanded Is the right to make
their own tariff. for the promotion OF their own
trade and industry. The United states is their
chief market for sales. They want TO make II
also their chief market for purchases. and TO
be able TO make with II such terms OF reclproc-
ity as will serve their interests. Great Britain
let Canada do that, and Canada thus became
rich and prosperous, and ut last voluntarily
gave Great Britain just such discriminating du-
ties as Spain now tries 10 exact from Cuba.
from Canada from the outset, the probability
is that Canada would not have grown as she
has. and that. instead Of being loyal al show
ing the mother country all possible favors, she
would have been disaifccted and rebellious.
That is a lesson which Spain might well study
~ the present time. Cuba may one day be
able and willing To nave reciprocity with
Spain But reciprocity Ike arbitration. must
be- voluntary on both sides
These features Will. II Is 10 be feared be re-
gardcd In Cuba as ncufrazlng the good feat
urcs Of the ofrer and making II ne n whole I'M
acceptable Real autonomy might be accepted.
There are many sincere friends Of Cuba and Of
Cuban Independence who think that IL ought 10
be- But that which Is autonomy only in name
and which denies TO the Cubans the most i'm
portant prerogatvcs Of self government is not
likely 10 be regarded with favor
