Little JOhnny's Plot.

The teacher of school in the rural
districts assigned each pupil the task
of writing an original story. On the
day when the stories were read bright
little towhead arose and started as fol-

The Birds Scare Crow.

Bird architecture is always interest
ing and worthy of careful study. One
of the most remarkabl birds nests is
that of the great crested hycatcher.
The nests are built in a tree trunk. and
for lining the cast off skins of snakes
are used. The skin is apparently used
to scare away intruders- An observer
noticed a nest one morning with one
egg and and no snakeskin. but in the
evening he was startled to be met by
the raised head of skin. which resem-
bled snake. in front of the nest. and
on examining it found that the body of
the snake. six or seven inches long, was
coiled around the egg. The second year
the birds built in ihe same place. and
after each visit to the nest fresh pieces
of snakeskin were added to show the
disapproval of the birds

A Patriotic Parrot.

During the Spanish American wal
the torpedo boat Winslow was sent on
May IL. 1898. to reconnoiter the bat
teries at Cardenas harbor in Cuba. The
Spaniards opened fire and soon smash
ed the frail boat Throughout the un-
equal duel parrot belonging to one of
the American sailors kept tapping its
wings with great vigor and encourag-
ing the crew by constant abuse of Spain
and the Spaniards. In spite of all
Polly's patriotism. however. the Spani-
ards on this occasion scored one of their
very few successes, for which indeed
they had to thank the rashness of the
Americans The parrot came ont of the

amused chucile. for Ray had mounted
her pony. without taking the time to
saddle him. and was cantering over the

SHADOWS.

All up and down in shadow town
The shadow children go;
In every street you're sure to meet
Them running to and fro.
They move around without a sound,
They play at hide and seek,
But no one yet that l have met
Has ever heard them speak.
:.
Beneath the tree you often see
Them dancing in and out,
And in the sun there's always ons
To follow you about.
Go where you will, he follows still,
Or sometimes runs before,
And, home at last. you'll find him fast
Beside you at the door.
A faithful friend is he to lend
His presence everywhere;
Blow out the Hght-to bed at night
Your shadow mate 10 therei
Then he will call the shadows all
Into your room to leap,
And such q pack-they make 1t black
And Eli your eyes with sleep!
