Helping Pippo Tend tho Sheep.
Pippo was q little boy In far-o6 Italy,
country of sunshine far across the
sea, and every day he went out in the
aelds to tend the sheep and to see that
hey did not run away down along the
little brook. 1t was nice to be all day
ander the shnde trees. and. to keep
lIm from being lonely. Pippo took with
,im a flute, and all day long he played
sweet tunes upon II. The sheep soon
rot to know the sound of Pippo's fute,
md when they heard 1t they knew that
heir kind little master was near, and
It sounded far away they came scam
,ering back, for they liked to be near
aim.
One day while they were skipping
,bout under the trees they heard the
lutte, but it sounded very strange.
Surely that could not be Pippo? They
Ill looked up to see, aud sure enough
( was not Pippo, but his little sister
Nino, who had come out to spend the
lay with Pippo and the sheep. Under
big shady tree were the two children,
title Nino blowing into the flute with
Ill her might, while Pfppo with MS
ingers played the tune.
The sheep did not know what to make
If 1t at first, but as Pippo and Nino
seemed to be having a nice time they
:hought It must be all right, and after
while they went on about their play.
Sino thought that was the incest day
she had ever known, and after that
she came often to the field and helped
2ippo tend the sheep. until at last they
rot to know and love her as well as
hey did Pippo.

Cider is sometimes made with i'm
pure water, and there are makers who
affirm that dirty water makes the best
cider. Hence the Pasteur Institute of
France has been examining Normandy
elders to see how far they are free
from bacteria. 1t appears from their
results that the malic acid in cider
tends to kill bacteria. Ordinary cider
contains at least 2 per cent. of malic
acid, and when the percentage does
not fall below that the bacillus Of ty.
phoid dies in 1t after eighteen or TWEEN
