A Curious Sport.

The word "tobogganing" in most
minds is indissolubly associated with
blanket costumes and frosty weather,
but in Perak, state in the Straits Set
Elements, where blanket costumes are
unknown and where the weather GER
tainly isn't frosty, there exists sort of
distant relation of this sport which is
probably not enjoyed in any other part
of the world
There is huge granite slope in the
course of mountain river, down which
the water trickles about two inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out bed by the side of the bowlder
This rock, the face of which has been
rendered as smooth as glass by the con-
slant flow of the water during hundreds
of years, the Malays-men, women and
children-have turned into toboggan
slide.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water, with their feet
straight out and hand on each side
for steering and then slide down the
go feet into pool of water. This is a
favorite sport on sunny mornings, as
many as 200 folk being SO engaged at q
time.

The Old Toys.


How sad 1t Is when toys grow old and wornl
Pushed back upon the shelf they lie forlorn.
Among themselves they often talk and say,
"Oh, dear, what pleasant games we used to
play
"And do you recollect that day we went
Out on the porch-the day the sheep got bent
"And then that plaster cat-it was go gayi
1t squeaked and grinned in such lively wayl
Poor thing, poor thingl How little then it
knew
That very soon it would be broken tooi'
And so the old toys talk, and all the while
The new toys, listening, at each other smile.
Some day, unless they break. they'll find, no
doubt,
How sad it is for toys to be wornout.

obeying His Master.

A milkman, who obtained his supply
of milk from a number of farms in the
neighborhood, employed boy to drive
round from one to the other, collecting
it just before delivering it to the Gus
toners. On his round he had to go over
a dangerous railroad crossing, so his
master said to him, "Wait until the
train passes, if there is one coming. .
Somebody soon after asked his master
why his boy stood with the cart nearly
80 minutes every morning at the cross
ing. The man was puzzled to account
for it, so he asked the boy. "Well, .
said he, II am forced to wait, because
there is bend on the line, and as
cannot see whether train is coming OF
not, l simply wait until one goes past,
and then hurry over as quickly at
possible. -

The Rare Quezzel.

On all the postage stamps of Guate-
mala is engraved somewhat distorted
representation of the quezzel, which is
rightly called the bird of liberty, as it
dies almost Immediately when captured.
So extreme is its love of freedom that
if captured and in a few seconds re-
stored to liberty it would seem as if
the contamination of the hand could
not be removed, and it will drop life
less after flying but few yards. If it
is caught in trap it is always found
dead, and when the young are taken
from the nest they die at once. 1t is
found only in small portion of the
country and is seldom seen alive since
it cannot be kept long in captivity.
1t is bird Of beautiful plumage.

of them accidentally becomes broken
the bird goes to its nest and dies from
grief and modification. 1t builds a
round rooted nest, having two holes on
opposite sides, SO that the quezzel liter

for tail breaking, and consequent heart
breaking, by never turning around in

The "Threo Little Spanish Prin-
cesses" of several centuries ago, of
whom Isabel NJ McDuugall writes in
st. Nichola9, seem to have had rather
tiresome time of it, even if the great
Velasquez did paint their portraits.
There were almost no fairy tales or
story books. Spanish princesses did not
read much III those days. There were
no such things as jolly games, or even
informal walks, or spending the day at
other girls houses. LARA Theresa s
principal exercise was in those very
dances and reverential bendings. Her
principal entertainment was in the I'M
couth antics of court fools and dwarfs.
Fools, or testers, used to be kept at ev-
cry court to make jokes, and the Span
ish court kept more of them than any
other, perhaps because it was the gray
est. Dwarfs, idiots and deformed per-
sons were also brought there in large
numbers. Many of them, according to
their portraits, were hideous, and many
looked i'll tempered and unhappy, which
is hardly to be wondered at in human
beings treated like pet monkeys. 1t
seems to us nowadays strange taste
that surrounded children Of high rank
with such unfortunate creatures.
