And Reggie did not like to hare
nurse laugh.
And Reggie did not like to have
nurse laugh.
And as soon as they had eaten their
bread and milk, az soon as they had
eaten their breakfast, they ran out on
the veranda where papa was reading
his paper.
And what do you think their papa
did when he saw them?
Why, he threw his paper high Up
In the air and he laughed. "Ha! ha!
what little men are these? Come here
and I'll put you both in my pocket!
And he caught Reggie up in his arms
and pretended he was going to put
him in his pocket.
And Reggie did not like to see his
father laugh, and Reggie did not like
to have his father laugh; and they
wriggled and screamed and ran away
down the path to the garden where
mamma was watering her roses.
And what DO you think mamma did
when she saw them? Mamma didn't
laugh. Oh, no. She put her little lace
handkerchief up to her eyes; and she
cried: "Oh, oh, where are my babies!
Oh, oh, will they never come back
again."
And Reggie did not like to see his
mother cry, and Reggie did not like
to see his mother cry. So they took
hold of hands and toddled on down the
path. to the big silver poplar tree
where dear Arabella and dear Arar11in-
Ia stood singing and swinging, both
IN a swing together.
And Arabella laughed, "Ha! ha! he!
he!" as she swung high up in the
branches.
And Araminta laughed, "Ha! ha! he!
he!" as she swung high up in the
branches.
And Reggie did not like to have
Arabel1a laugh, and Reggie did not
like to have Arrninta laugh. And so
they ran down the path as fast as
they could go. On and on and on they
ran till they came on the little brook
in the little meadow.
And Reggie sat down on the bank
by the brook and cried.
Il want my dress on" he cried. Il
don't want these trousers"
And Reggie sat down on the bank
by the brook and cried.
II want my dress on" he cried. Il
don't want these trousers"
And Reggie cried: "Ill throw them
away, will! I'll throw these trousers
away"
And Reggie cried: "1'1l throw them
away, will! I'll throw these trousers
away"
And those little rogues. they did!
They pulled off their new little trou-
sers, and they threw them into the
brook!
And mamma came running down the
meadow path to find them. And, oh,
"Ha! hal" she laughed. "Oh. you
dear little things! Have you thrown
your trousers away
But she cuddled them close in her
arms and kissed them.
There, don't cry!" she said.
Mamma is glad you threw them away.
Yes, am glad you threw them away"
And Reggie smiles through his
tears.
Nanny is looking" he said. See,
see! Old Nanny is looking!"-
And Reggie smiled through his
tears.
See! Old Nanny-goat is i0oking!"
Yes. There on the other side Of the
brook old Nanny stood, with look Of
surprise In her wise eyes, watching
hose little trousers as they floated
away down the stream!-Gertrude
Smith, in Little Folks.

MISS KINGSLEY.
erepsssd Memorial 1t London for the
nistin ruished rrnv.l.r.

eropsssd Memorial 1T London for the
Distinguished Traveller.
The desire has been very widely ex-
pressed among Miss Kingsley's many
friends and among the still larger
number OF those who knew her by her
work, writes our Liverpool corre-
spondent, to establish a permanent
memorial to her, says the London
Chronicle. 1t Is in great measure
owing to Miss Kingsley's writings that
70 much interest has recently been
taken by the general public in west
Africa, and her researches into native
customs and institutions are unique.
Liverpool, owing to its very large west
African interests, was constantly WIS.,
tied by Miss Kingsley. Immediately
after her death a movement was there
fore set on foot by those merchants to
perpetuate her memory by the con-
struction of small hospital for treat
Ing the numerous cases Of tropical dis
eases that are landed daily at that
port 1t is intended that this hospital
should be associated with the Liver
pool school Of tropical medicine. 9th
ers OF Miss Kingsley's friends are anx-
ious that a memorial to her should
also be associated with the special
study of native customs which was her
first object and occupied the greatest
part of her time and energy, and they
suggest that this work should be car
ried on by the Kingsley Society Of
West Africa, established to stimulate
research and to collect from all the
sources information concerning west
Africa. A representative gathering OF
Miss Kingsley's friends in London,
Liverpool and Manchester recently
met in London to discuss the matter,
and 1t was decided that the memorial
should include both the hospital and
the society, and that an appeal should
be made to the public for support to
both. Contributions for the Mary
Kingsley memorial hospital should be
sent to A. H. Milne, B 10. Exchange
buildings. Liverpool, and for the
Kingsley Society of West Africa to

the Judge Of the united states in

The Judge Of tho United States in
Porto Rico is Sulzbacher, and comes
from New Mexico. whore he learned
Spanish and became the friend of Sem
ator Elkins. which accounts for his
appointment. Judge Sulzbacher. Is a
diplomatist and q man Of ready re-
sources. Before the policy of congress
and the administration toward our new
possessions was developed, Judge Sulz-
bacher prematurely decided that the
constitution follows the flag. This ju-
dicial precedent might have troubled
other people. but it gave him no con-
Germ whatever, because the first time
any one questioned his decision he re-
piled: 1T Is true that held that the
constitution follows the flag, but did
not say with what speed 1t does the
following. "-Chicago Record.

ARABI PAshA's EXILE
Tho Elderly Leader May Soon Return to

The Elderly Leader May Soon Return to
Egypt.
Egypt for the Egyptians" was the
slogan OF Arab Pasha Id 1881, when
he led d rebellion against the govern
ment OF Egypt. 1t took the fleets Of
tive nations and the army OF one
Wolseley 's-to put down the revolt.
and Arab was exiled to Ceylon for
life. Now it is announced the Khedivs
on the forthcoming twenty-eighth an
niversary of his accession to power
will pardon Arab, and permit him to
return to his native land. Arab Is
about GA years old now, and though his
mother was an Egyptian he claims
descent in the male line from Husseyn,
the youngest son Of Mahomet. He is,
therefore, of family reputed holy by
the Egyptians. He entered the army
of the khedive as a private, and soon
rose to the rank Of lieutenant colonel.

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying

Bees go out all day gathering honey
and work all night in the hive, build
ing their combs rs perfectly as If an
electric light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work In the
dark? is often asked. Every one
knows that honey ID liquid with no
solid sugar. in it. After standing it
gradually assumes crystalline ap-
pearance, or graduates, and ultimate
ly becomes a solid mass.
Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well-corked TASKS, some Of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystalized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged.
Hence, we see why the bees are so
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in their hives. The
existence of the young depends on
the liouidity of the saeoharine food
presented to them, and II light We're
allowed access to this, 1t would, in all
probability, prove fatal to the inmates
of the hive.

How Cbiuess Dicks swim {. Market.

How Cbtuess Dacks vim to Market.
Chinese farmers do not take their
ducks to market in crates, but drive
them into the waters of the grand
canal and compel them to furnish their
own motive power. Usually the duck
crop" Of whole district Is brought
together and started to market ia
charge of men in boats, and the sight
of several thousand birds swimming
in compact mass along China's great
water road is novel one indeed.
Julian Ralph, the traveller, met such
procession one day: The mass of
ducks was several acres in extent; and
went along at pace much faster than
could be expected, being kept in for
nation by long bamboo poles with
palm leaves at the end. Suddenly sew
eral boats came up in the opposite d.
rection-a big, "chopboat" and two or
three smaller vessels. They were sail
ing swiftly before the fresh breeze d.
rectly upon the field of ducks, and
there seemed to be no way Of prevent
ing terrible slaughter. The big
"chopboat," like q house blown before
a gale, sped toward the advancing
feathered host, and at last the birds
that were In the way were almost un-
der her bows. Then there was a nut-
tering Of wings and a bobbing of
heads, the immense flock broke apart,
q crack opened before the "chopboat"
and widened until there was a canal
broad enough for the vessel to pass
through. Not a single duck was run
over.
