Wild Animals ! Have Known.
THE LION

I've met this beast in drawing rooms,
'Mong ladies gay with silks and plumes
He looks quite bored, and silly, too,
When he's held up to social view.
! think ! like him better when.
Alone, | brave him in his den.
THE BEAR.
! never seek the surly Bear.
But if | meet him in his lair
/ say: Good day, sir; sir, good day" !"
And then make haste to get away
1t is no pleasure, / declare,
To meet the cross, iil-natured Bear.
THE PIG.
This animal I've seen on view
In dining rooms ana street. cars, 90;
He wants the most, he wants the pest,
lie makes himself a perfect pest
And Though | think g. 20 Jherr shame)
Many give him a grosser name
THE GOOSE.
know it would be Of no use
To say I'd never met a Goose.
There are SO many all around.
With idle look and clacking sound,
And sometimes it has come to pass
I've seen one in my looking glass.
THE DUCK.
This merry one, with laughing eyes,
Not too sedate nor oYerwise,
Is best of comrades, frank and free,
A clever hand at making tea;
A fearless nature, full of pluC
/ like her well-she is a Duck.
THE CAT.
The Cats a nasty little beast;
She's seen at many a fete and feast.
She's spiteful, sly and double-faced,
Exceeding prim, exceeding chaste.
And while a soft, sleek smile she wears.
Her neighbor's reputation tears
THE PUPPY.
OF all the animals I've met
The Puppy is the worst as yet.
Clumsy and crude, he hasn't brains
Enough 10 come in when il rains.
But with insufferable conceit
lie thinks tia he rs jus, too sweet!
THE kID
Kid are the funries things I know:
Ne ng hey 90 hu, ea, and grow.
They're frolicsome and it is said
Tie" 60 tiu cans and are no. dead
In 10 sto7ished at Tia eat.
For all things else I've seen them eat.

stories for the children.

Bright children in school are in
great danger sometimes of passing
over the border line of ma h,matics
into one forbidden domain common
sense, says an exchange. A teacher
once said 10 her class IN men al arith-
metic:
Now. boys, | have a few cues ions
in fractions 70 ask. Suppose | have a
piece of beefsteak and cut it in two
pieces. What would those pieces be
called?"
"Halves!" shouted the class.
Right. And if | cu' each r'N iu-
to two pieces?"
Quarters.
THAT is correct. And if the quar-
ters were each cut in half?"
"Eighths!"
Eyes. And if those were chopped in
two?"
The answers had been growing few
er and fewer, but one boy meditatod {
moment. and answered
"Sixteenths,
VERY good And when III SIX
teenths were cet in half, what would
they be?"
There was silence in the class, but
presently a little boy at the foot put up
his hand.
DO you know, Johnny? Well, you
may tell me-"
HASH" answered Johnny, conf
dently-and truly.

The new cycling suits for spring are

tinted Innings that occasionally come
to view there is nothing about the new
costumes that would brand them as
being conspicuous. The sport has come
TO be looked upon as a healthful eX-

The conve- 'onal costume consists Of

funny to watch them dart through me
water as quick as a fash.
The feathery outside gills were used
to breathe with, just as fish breathe
with their gills. for these babies were
of the nature of fish now. But soon
these little gills fell off and a broad
mouth and two eyes appeared in the
head
One day as John was watching his
pets he suddenly called out: oh.
Harry, l am afraid that some of the
'tads' are sick, for / see little Jumps
on their sides" Harry did not reply;
he only smiled in n peculiar way, as
if he knew something that he would
not tell
A few days later John called out in
great excitement. Legs, Legs" Yes,
surely, just where the little Jumps
had been there were now jointed hind
legs. In another week the short fore
legs had appeared. but, curiously
enough, the tail. instead Of growing
longer, had seemed to shrink smaller,
and the little creatures did not look
as much like tadpoles as before, and
they began TO look a little like -rogs
Didn't I tell you SOP" said Harry
Now do you not see for yourself?'
Truly, you were right" replied
John, "for they are growing like the
old mother frog now. 1t is wonder
full" But, although he could see many
wonderful changes going on from
the outside, there were any changes
going on inside that he could not see.
At first the baby tadpole breathed by
means of the little feathery gills. Just
like a fish, but when these giils fell Off
ii breathed by opening its mouth and
swallowing some water, taking in the
air from 1t, and letting the water run
out Of the two tiny Sits on each side
of its mouth You can easily watch
this, and see the young tadpole
breathe this way when it is beginning
to change. Then another wonderful
thing happened. although you could
not see it. The tad was losing its fish
like nature. and so a heart and pair
Of lungs developed inside of its body.
so hat it could breathe air as other
animals. Now it was fast growing like

were on the little creatures did
not stay down in the water nearly so
much as before They came very Of

small sticks in the bowl, and the
young froggies seemed 10 like them.
for they sat on them continually. and
winked and blinked in the sunlight.
AT first the boys had fed them on
little cornmeal and fish food Now
they did not seem satisfied with this
fare and wanted something more sub
stantial. One day, as the boys were
catching them. a fly came buzzing
along and was very near one gf the
little frogs. In an instant the frog
darted out its tongue. caught the fly,
ate it for breakfast. and blinked
around, looking for more.
