pictures' illustrating the life OF Christ

Only her arms are bare, and yet they

her face is artfully painted. the eyes

This is assuredly =the way Salome
danced her famous measure, says Mr..
Tissot, for no ordinary achievement on
her part was required in order to excite
Herod to the pitch of enthusiasm and
extravaganza he reached. An abund
ance of beautiful and skilled dancers
were invariably at the kings command,
IN consequence Il peculiarly brilliant
effort was needed for Salome to achieve
her end, which she did by admirably
performing one CT the astonishing &C
robatic dances that. are to this day
known ard practiced in some parts Ct
the east.

Certainly Mr. Tissnt' arguments sre
very unique: and furthermore, he
points ont that in the famot,s church IN
Eouen. among the exquisite mediae-
val sculptures that decorate it., is
small stone Salome dancing on her
hands before Herod. This shows that

the same conviction.for as Mr.. Tissot
says. dancing among the orientalstakes

MCntch a Weaael.n

AS l lay stretched on the bank at the
foot of a great maple l saw a weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
lance away, says a writer in Popular
Science Monthly. A few seconds later
he was standing On the exposed root
of the tree, hardly a yard from my
eyes. l lay motionless and examined
the beautiful creature minutely till
suddenly 1 found myself staring at the
smooth, greenish gray root of the ma
pie, with no weasel in sight. Judging
from my own experience, l should say
that this is the usual termination Of
any chance observations of either
weasels or minks. Occasionally they
may be seen to dart into the bushes
or behind some log or projecting bank,
but much more frequently they vanish
with a suddenness that defies the keen
est eyesight. In all probability this
vanishing is accomplished by extreme
rapidity of motion, but if this is the
ease hen the creature succeeds in do
Ing something utterly impossible to
any other warm blooded animal Of its
size. Mice, squirrels and some Of the
smaller birds are all of them swift
enough at times, but except in the case
of the humming bird none Of them, l
believe. succeeds in accomplishing the
result achieved by the weasels.

A Horse That Eats Pie.

Down town when the noon hour APP
proaches there is a general movement
of lunch wagons and pushcarts from
the shadows of the tall Office buildings
in the vicinity Of the Stock Exchange
toward "cheap and hungry corner" as
the intersection of New street and Ex-
change place is called, says a New York
paper.
AS the noon hour begins to wane
down the slope Of New street from
Wall street beyond come a white horse
and a little red wagon lettered "Street
Cleaning Department, No. g." The
driver and his Italian assistants sweep
from the cutters on either side, and the
white horse slowly picks his way among
the crowd as the sweepers work along,
pile by pile, down the street. When
Exchange place and the curbstone lunch
wagons are reached, the horse is among.
friends. Hucksters and messenger boys
all know him. Brokers stop to pat him.
"Here, Peter, catch thisl' comes
from n side, and then follow other
shouts, each followed by a pear, plum
or piece of pie. With neck outstretched
like a goose and head pushed we'll for
ward he deftly catches all the good
things coming his way in his wide open
mouth. He is always ready for more
and sometimes cannot wait for his
friends to give them to him, but calmly
reaches down and appropriates a piece
of pie from Billie's cart or a cruller
from Teddy's. Instead of getting
angry, the owners mildly demonstrate
with Peter and push their carts farther
away from his head. In this way he
crowds his way down the narrow street,
always apparently making for the place
where the pushcarts are the thickest
and where he knows he will get the
most to eat. Occasionally he reaches
out and pinches the arm of a shouting
pushcart man, as if to remind him that
a hungry friend is around.

How Robbie Helped His Mother.
"Catch a Weasel"-The Brown
lie and the Sun.

One bright morning Robbie Dale sat
quietly on the doorstep. He was plan
ming how to help his mother, who was
poor and needed money very much.
Baby Ruth had been sick, and there
were many bills to pay. ooh, dear! I
wish l could do s~omething!" sighed
Robbie. He sat thinking a while lon
ger. Suddenly a bright idea came to
him. 'Tll ask mother!" he exclaimed.
His mother was ironing in the kitchen.
She looked greatly surprised when
thinking about. His plan was to have
a small stand at the fair which was to
be opened the next week. He thought
be could sell lemonade and candy. Per
haps, too, Sister Alice would make
some of her nice doughnuts and sand
wiches for him. After awhile Robbie
obtained his mothers consent to try
his plan. He easily obtained permits
sion to have a stand on the fair
grounds. Everybody in the village who
knew Robbie liked him very much.
The fair was to last only one day.
Robbie could hardly wait for the time.
But the day came at last, a bright,
sunshiny morning. Robbie was at the
fair grounds at an early hour. He
carefully arranged his stand-dougll-
nuts and sandwiches on one side and
candies, lemonade and glasses on the
other. Robbie prided himself on his
lemonade. 1t must have been good,
for his little stand vas soon quite sur
rounded. 1t kept him quite busy.
Among the group around Robbie's
stand vas old Jacob Green, who kept
the village store. He had known Rob-
bie's father and was a great friend of
the family. He saw how busy the lit
tie fellow was and decided to help
him. Robbie was glad of his assistance.
Before night everything was sold.
Robbie counted his money, finding he
had made nearly $40. With a joyful
heart he hurried home to his mother.
will this help you, mother?" he cried,
passing her the money. Eyes, very
MUCH" answered his mother, but it
helps me a great deal more to know
that have such a good, thoughtful
little SON." She clasped the boy to her
breast, kissing him tenderly, and Rob-
bic was quite contented. Many times
after that he found ways of helping
his mother. He grew up to be a good
and useful man.-Janie Rebecca Ward

How to Make "a pol1.s Rattle.

Crack a walnut evenly in halves and,
having first taken out the kernel and
put in either a bell or one or two small
again. Lay it to dry for a quarter of
an hour. When dry, it will be found
that there is Il small opening near one
end. In this opening insert a match
from which the sulphur has been bro
ken of and glue it in. When this is dry,
gild the rattle. 1t may then be tied
around the dolls neck with ribbon, or
it may be fastened to a necklace Of
beads. This may be improved upon in

doll in a very deep hole not long ago
and wrote to Queen Victoria that she
thought it had dropped through the
earth, and, as she had heard the other
side belonged to the queen, she wished
the queen would order it sent back. She
did not get her own doll back, but she

A Brief
Deep in a pond lived Taddy Pole

Deep in a pond lived Taddy Pole
(The pond was in a bog),
And there upon the mud he met
The lively Polly Wog.
He thought her graceful; she admired
His active twirls and bends.
He said, 81 like you very much!"
She murmured, Lets be friends!"
And friends they were for quite a week,
Each shared the others swim;
He never strayed away from her,
And she kept close to him.
The water beetle, sailing by,
Would smile and rudely stare,
While nevis remarked. "Just look at that
Lnseparable part"
But one day two things happened, and
Their +, iendship ceased to be,
For Polly Wog and Taddy Pole
Had left the pond, you see.
They meet as utter strangers now
Upon their native bog,
For she's become a dragon fly,
And he's become a frog.

WHAT VICTOR DID.
How He Completely Won the Respect

"Teddy, dearl'' called mamma.
"Yes'm," replied Teddy. He was
busy over his book on the cool, shaded
piazza, and it was a warm August aft
ernoon.

"But, mother, at sundown."
"Who promised to play the hose for

nose, Dear me, mamma" he remark
ed, pulling on his cap. "what a thing

beautiful thing to be a cheerful little

Presently she loosed the big st. Ber-

Teddy, eagerness in every movement,
for his freedom usually meant a bath
these hot days.
"Come on, Wei" called Teddy.
"You're more bother than you're
worth, old fellowl" he declared, fon-
ding him. "Just think Of me, a two

The Brownie and the sun.

AAc ana the sum-
There was a little brownie
That lived down by the sea.
He was just as cute a brownie
As ever he could be.
And early every morning
The brownie vent to swim,
And all the little minnows
Came swimming after him.
Yes, early every morning,
BeforH the sun arose,
This brownie went in swimming
And then put on his clothes.
And, looking to the eastward.
Right gravely he would say:
"Now, ear old sun, you may risei
Indeed, indeed, you may!'
And. sure enough, each morning,
When brownic'd had his swim,
The sun obeyed his wishes
And rose and shone on him.
For, do you see. the brownie
Couldn't let the sun arise
Until he was all washed and dressed
And aried his hair and eyes!
