theirs at 45. These are less than one

this advertisement, to the end that he
might engage and amuse these people
of restless spirit. Others affirm that
the giants arose spontaneously out of
the soul of the people. They are the
heroic warriors who have saved the
city, and of whom the remembrance is
perpetuated under this symbolical as
pect.
However that may be, for the most
part the towns of Flanders, Belgium,
have their giant. For instance, there is
Grandfather Giant at Nlalines, Druon
Antignon at Anvers, who came to take
part in the fetes of Van Dyck; Hercules
at Louvaine, Ommegan at Brussels,
Lideric and Phinart at Lille, Goliath
at Ath, Lopgeman at Hasselt, The Drag
on at Mons, and, finally, Gayant and
.>euse at Dunkirk. Each one has local
history. The date of birth of others is
unknown and uncertain. They are due
probably to the desire each village had
to make the most droll, most amusing
and most eccentric display, in the words
of the learned NJ. Theophile Denis, to
amuse big children with playthings.
The willow mannikin, which repre-.
sents Gayant of Douai, was constructed
in the year 1880, to figure in religious
procession. Gayant has been repaired
very often since that time, and it is be.
lieved that there exists little of the
original carcass. His wife dates only
| since 1864. The children followed
Jacquot, Filian and Binbin. Gayant is
over seven yards high, Nine. Gayant
six, Jacquot four, Filian 3.5 and Binbin
between rs and three. Gayant, the
most beautiful of the giants, who has
figured at Cambria in the procession
OF the 18th of August, is costumed as
soldier of the sixteenth century,

sors. And one day when the door was
shut she INDUCED long-cherished
wish.
She planted her small feet carefully
up and down on the soft grass, walking
on grass as tender and yielding as if
the month were May and not January!
She was very careful when she did
this, because, to Helen's delight, two
lovely brown worms had come to live
in her grass plot. Where they came
from nobody knew, but they were
there! And Helen sometimes consider
ately dropped few crumbs for them
among the grass, where no doubt the
worms discovered them.
There is some reason to think that
the worms believed that the grass plot
and the sun and the water and Helen's
bread crumbs were all intended for
their sole benefit, and that to make
them comfortable home was Helen's
only duty. This was Helen's idea, for
the worms grew quite fat and bold;
and finally Helen was quite willing to
have them put out into the garden to
hide themselves as best they could in a
corner. They were too conceited and
needed punishment. But that is the
way with worms!-Brooklyn Eagle.

HELEN'S GRASS PLOT.

Helen loved to play on the grass, and
it troubled her greatly when it became
hard and dry and brown in winter.
How unpleasant it looked! In some
places it was ''frost-bitten," in others
it looked as if 1.-The moths had been at
it, Helen said. There were great bare
places, sometimes as big as your hand,
sometimes a foot square, all over the
grass that used to be so pretty last
June. Somebody suggested: 'Why
not have grass plot in the house?"
That was a fine IDEA! Auntie had
her flowers, mamma had her birds. A
little girl surely could take care of a
grass plot!
A box was procured, about four by
three feet, and in it the earth was care
fully prepared and grass seed planted.
After some days the tiny green spears
began to appear, until, before long
oh, joy in the house and in Helen's
window!-there was lovely green
grass plot. A charming expanse of col
ors, and Helen kept it there in good
condition all winter.
She watered it regularly, kept it in
plenty of sun to ''help the water to
make it grow" She cut it at certain
intervals all over with auntie's scis-

NY DAYS.

3ood Gays and bad days; glad days and
sad days;
Days when all is mournful, and days
when all is bright;
Days have a happy heart, and dance
and go a-singing,
And days I've naught but trouble from
the morning till the night
Up days and down days; wise days and
silly days:
Days I lose my playthings. and days
bump my head;
Days I know my lessons, and jolly times
are plentiful,
And days cry for nothing, and get sent
up to bed
Big days and little days: young days and
old days;
Days that come and days that go. a long
and passing train;
And days when I am grown up, like days
when I am little,
Will still be sad or happy, full of SUM-
shine or of rain.
Days, days, and more days; my lifetime
will be full of them;
And to make the sunshine brighter, and
the darkness seem less drear;
To make more bright than dark days, more
glad days than sorry days,
I've a stout heart to welcome them, and a
hearty voice to cheer.

Bull Defies a Locomotive,

While a gang of workmen were re-
pairing the track on the main line of
the Pennsylvania railroad, a large bull
made it's appearance and scattered
them in every direction. For about half
an hour there was a running fight be-
tween the men and the bull. He was i'm
pervious to showers of rocks and an
occasional crack from shovel, and
finally the men were forced to retreat
up an embankment. Just then a heavy
freight train hove in sight, and the
bull stationed himself in the middle of
the track. The engineer blew warning
blast; the bull, accepting this as a chal-
lenge, sent back defiant below. Then
there was collision. The train went
on serenely, while the bull-where was
that misguided animal? Then the men
came down the embankment and re-
sumed work.

Honor for old King Cole.

According to Anglo-Saxon chron-
iclers, Colchester owes it's name and
fame to old King Cole-Coel Godebog,
to give him his true title. From book
compiled by Messrs. Wilson Marriage
and Courtney Benham, two ex-mayors,
who have taken in hand the building of
new town hall, we learn that Coel the
Merry is to be honored in stained glass
and sculptured stone, with the other
worthless, ancient and modern, of the
town. Municipalities in this country
too often lose their opportunities of
making their municipal buildings
storehouses of local history and quaint
traditions and customs. Colchester's
new town hall is to be show place as
well as a work place, and we commend
it as an example to other municipali-
ties.-London Globe.

Cupid and the Law
BY John Forbes

~ OOD-BY, good-by; yes, We'll write
u and tell you all about it, and per-
haps send you some of the drawn work. -
And with these and the other
usual messages the train carrying the
big excursion to Mexico pulled out of
the station.
It was common, everyday sight to
the station hands, and they gave it
only a passing glance. But to most of
the travellers it was a novel expert
ence, and they looked on it as only the
beginning of the days of sightseeing in
the land of the Montezumas.
There were two passengers in one of
the sleepers who attracted some atten-
ton. One was woman of 60, tall and
straig ht, with a carriage like queen
and who seemed as young and gay as
the youngest. The other called her
mother" and was about IS, beautiful
girl. Their son and brother had come
to the station to bid them good-by, a
man Of 80, we'll groomed and we'll made,
the typical American man of that age.
He had provided them with every
thing that his affection could suggest,
and told them to be sure and let him
know day by day where they were and
If they were we'll.
And you will look after mother,
Alice, won't you?'
AS he spoke two young ladies turned
and looked at him-his sister and a
younger woman, about %. She turned
involuntarily, and the pretty blush
that covered her cheek showed that her
name was Alice, too.
Robert Duncan glanced at her and
was struck by her beauty. But she
saw his look and turned away and
busted herself with her baggage. His
mother and sister both noticed the CO.
incidence also and smiled.
$50 we will have two Alices along"
said his mother. II hope we shall be-
come acquainted with the young lady.
She looks very pleasant and very nice"
Just then the porter shouted 'All
aboard.' and Robert jumped from the
train. AS the car passed him he
looked in vain for the faces of his moth
er and sister. But he did see the face
of the other Alice looking at him with
some curiosity.
Then he returned to his Office. He
was the junior partner in prominent

Scotch Whipping Machine.

If you were Scotch boy and were in
clined to get into mischief you might
appreciate the value of recently in
vented Scotch machine. 1t is device
for whipping young folk who have been
unruly. 1t is said that this ingenious
machine works like charm and will
turn out more well-punished boys in an
hour than the average person could at
tend to in day. The machine is in op-
Grafton at the town of Airdrie. The
complaint that the boys make who have
been birched by the machine is that
too much time passes between the
strokes, and each one of them feels like
a sound thrashing in itself. -Four
strokes is pretty severe punishment
for any boy. The lads about the town
of Airdrie are said to either be growing
better behaved or are moving to anoth-
er part of Scotland.

Eacn year in the middle OF August

afternoon of work before him. There
was a brief in a case that had puzzled
both himself and his partner. But try
as he would to concentrate his mind on
beautiful face at the car window and
hear nothing but the droning of the car
wheels.
At last he became so nervous that he
threw down his pen, and, telling the
boy he would not be back till morning,
he walked up across the common and
the public garden to his home.
The evening at the theater did not
help him, and he was rather horror
struck to find himself no better in the

promising young physician. He did not
tell the doctor what the most promi-

needed medicine for dyspepsia. Ac'
eordingly he felt rather foolish when
he was obliged to say no to all the doc
tors questions as to whether he had
certain symptoms inseparable from
gastric trouble.
The doctor laughed and gave him
some harmless powder and he went to
the Office strong in his resolve to finish
the brief. He made fairly good head
way, but still the image of the beauti-
full girl would come back to him, and

Then he found himself with an al.
most resistless longing to take the first
train and follow his folks. OF course
he did not admit to himself that he
wanted to see the other Alice.
That afternoon one of the firms best
clients came in. He said he contem.
plated purchasing some thousand acres
in Mexico with the idea of establishing

satisfied with the title to the land, and
