may, she saw an ugly poisonous snake,
about three feet long, behind her, coil
ed up and ready to strike. But the
cat had seen the reptile, too, and with
one bound she pounced upon him and
bit him ON the neck. Then ensued a
long and desperate fight, in which the
cat was getting the best of it, when the
screams of the little girl attracted the

Easily Constructed and Affords Great
Amusement for Children.
There are many boys and girls who
would like to know the way to make a
telephone. A great deal of fun can be
had with homemade telephone, and if
the directions following are carried out,
any girl or boy who desires TO be the
possessor of one can have his or her
wish gratiied. Procure couple of
empty cocoa tins, knock out the bottom
of each. and you will then, OF course,
have left two thin tubes. Next glue
a piece of cartridge paper over the mouth
of one sidesof each of your tubes, tax
ing care to stretch the paper tightly over
the opening. Make a small hole in the
center of each piece of paper, take a
piece of string of whatever length you
care to have it. and then pass one end
through each hole, afterwards making
a couple of knots at each end of the
string SO as to prevent the latter from
coming out of the holes.
This done, your telephone is conn
piete and quite ready for use. The
persons who are to converse with one
another each take hold of tube and
stretch the string quite taut. The one
who intends speaking first merely puts
the tube to his mouth and speaks into
it, while the other person places the
opposite tube to his ear. A conversation
can be carried on in this manner in a
whisper, even at a distance of a hun
dred feet.

To dream of angels nigh.

In the busy port of Play,
And the anxious bcatnlan coaxes and

And grieves at their delay.
But at last they come to the rocking

Which bears them down the stream.
And drifts them to the Sunderland,
To rest, and sleep and dream.
