Ten Fairies,

Mamma had been telling Dorothy a
pretty story about a friendly fairy,
h always came just at the right mo-
ment to help a little girl in her work
or play.
Dorothy thought about the story
very hard for a few minutes, and then
she looked up into mammals face and
said:
L wish had a little fairy like that,
mamma, to help me-"
"All little girls have fairies to help
them, Dolly"
is it another story, mamma. Tell
me about it," for mammals stories
were the incest stories in the world.
But these fairies are truly ones,
Dorothy"
Truly, mammal"
Truly, Dorothy. Jump up here and
I'll tell you all about it,"
So Dorothy jumped I'D into mann
mas lap again, for she had jumped
down when she thought the story was
ended, and m gave her a kiss
and a bears hug and began:
Each little girl has ten real fairies
to help her, Dorothy, and she can
make them go to work whenever she
likes"
"Dolly's eyes opened very wide in
deed, and she said:
Have I got ten fairies, too, mann
MAJ"
"Oh, yes, Dolly; you have got ten
fairies, too, just the same as other lit
tie girls. Your ten little fairies are
very busy, useful little servants, and
they love nothing better than to work
for you all day long, The more they
work the better work they can do, for
they become quicker and more ex-
pert. That means they learn how to
work better. Do you understand.
Dorothy?"
Dorothy nodded.
Oh, yes; l know; just like when l
pick up all the scraps and papers; l
know better how to do it next time"
Yes, and just so, ii you make your
little fairy servants work, they will
serve you better each time. So you
ought to keep them busy all day long.
Don't you think so, Dorothy?"
81 just wish I knew where they
lived, mamma" said Dolly, wistfully.
They live with you in this house,
Dolly girl" replied mamma, smiling
at Dolly's puzzled look.
Dear met" Dolly exclaimed, with a
long breath.
They are not so very big, Dolly"
went on this funny mamma, squeezing
Dolly's plump little hands. Two of
them are about two inches long, and
the rest not more than three"
How much is three inches. NAM
MAJ"
SO ann got out her pretty tape
measure, with the bird on the over
and measured of Dolly's fingers,
and showed her just how long three
inches were.
"Oh, I do wish I knew where they
We're, mammal"
Such dear, busy, faithful little SER
wants they can be, Dolly" mamma
went on, her eyes twinkling fast, with
the little shiny sparkles in them that
Dolly loved.
"Do-do tell, mammal"
And your fairies have learned how
to do such nice things, Dolly. They
can pick up the baby's toys, or bring
papa's paper, or carry grandma her
knitting"-and m laughed ever
so hard.
ooh, I know, mamma; l know! I've
found QUIT" cried Dolly. Il know now
who my ten fairies aTe!"
And since every little gill has ten
fairies just like them, who knows
what Dorothy's ten little fairy SER
wants We're?

Animals Arrest Electricity.

According to a Dublin paper a live
rat and dead dog lately succeeded in
d~emoralizing the electric light and
tramways of that city to a marked
extent. The former gnawed through
the insulation of one of the lighting
cables, was duly. ~electrocuted, and
short-circuited the mains; thereby ex-
tinguishing a number of lamps; the
latter foated into the suction pipe of
the power station, cut of the water
supply and brought about the tempo
rary stoppage OF the whole of the
tramway service.

THE MEMORIAL.

illustrated by the fate which has over
where Byron was born. The poet saw
the light at No. 16, and Peter Cum
bingham, in his London was con-
tent to state that fact. But the Mo. 16
of his time was not the right house at
all; the original No. 16 had then been
remembered "a. 1t was, therefore, to
the number that admirers of the bard
should have directed their pilgrimage.
But Byron was born at "a" itself be-
comes inaccurate, for this house, long
marked by the tablet of the Society of
Arts, has now been demolished. The
ground on which it stood is covered
by a great drapery establishment
which has swallowed up the numbers
of a dozen houses in Oxford and HOLES
streets.
Happily the proprietor of the estab-
lishment, John Lewis, has shown him
self ready to do everything that was
possible to remind passers-by of By
ron's intimate connection with the
locality. The fine memorial, of which
we are able to give a sketch, has been
erected in the wall of the new No. "a,
and recently the canvas which had
hidden it from view was taken down in
an informal unwilling. The bust (de-
signed after the family picture in
Newstead Abbey is in bronze, the ma
sorry work in Portland stone. The
artist to whom Mr.. Lewis gave the
commission for the memorial was Mr..
Taylerson. 1t is to be hoped that the
example of Mr.. Lewis in so adequately
marking the place of Byron's birth will
find imitators in other mercantile firms
