The Girls and the Parasols.

Two little girls, named Annie and
Grace. had been given new sun shades,
and had fallen into quarrel in regard
to their respective beauty.
Mine is red," said Annie, "and
is therefore the gayest and most at
tractive, and will best become my COM
pleXion and hair"
And mine," retorted Grace, "be-
ing blue, is much cooler to look upon
and is a more fashionable summer col
or; and besides, it's shape is better,
its size larger and it's handle more
beautiful. | wouldn't have a red UNI
brella for anything, so there"
''And l think you're mean, hate
full, little girl, so there" answered
Annie.
Then they became so interested in
their quarrel that they laid their open
sunshades upon the ground while they
continued the argument.
And while they were thus engaged
a playful summer breeze came up and
catching up the parasols, whirled them
into nearby pond, where they floated
amid the mud and ooze much to the
dismay of their owners.

shadows we often lose the substance

Living Sunbeains.

OF all the birds the tiny humming
birds are the most lovely. They look
like animated jewels as they dart
about from flower to flower in the
sunshine. AS is so often the case
with birds of beautiful plumage, they
have no song to speak of. Moreover.
they are as quarrelsome as the saucy
sparrow, fighting with their mates as
well as with strangers. They are very
inquisitive, too, their curiosity often
getting them into trouble, and some
times even into the collectors net.
But like most wild things they cannot
bear captivity, and usually pine away
and die. For that they are such eX-
quisite creatures, the South American
Indians call them the pretty names of
the beams and locks of the sun.

ton original, from which the model
was made, is of the open mesh light
weight tucked material in black, with
revers and applique of cream Cluny
lace over white, but cream makes
charming warm weather wrap and is
peculiarly effective over the much

The jacket is simplicity itself. The
backs fit smoothly and the fronts hang
from the shoulders, without darts, in

wo,nan,s Tucked Blouse.

Tucks not alone hold their place, but
for the odd waist and the gown made
en- suite they are held the smartest
possible finish and are seen alike in
thin diaphanous materials, silks and
soft woods. The charming blouse H.
lustrated in the large drawing is adapt
ed to many uses, and is equally ap-
propriate for the costume and the
separate bodice. The original is of
white lawn, and Is worn with tie
and belt of blue Liberty satin; but fine
madras, grass linen. Swiss and all
similar fabrics, India silk, crepe de
chine, taffeta and the like and all soft
woods are equally suitable.
The back is smooth and snug, with
two groups of tucks that are drawn
together at the waist to give a becom-
ing, tapering effect. The fronts are
tucked in three groups and are rem
dered unique by the extension on the
right edge, which Is closed with small
pearl buttons in groups of three. The
sleeves are in bishop style, tucked
nearly to the wrists, where they fall
free to form becoming puffs.
To make this blouse for woman of
medium size, four yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three and
three-eight yards twenty seven inches
wide, three and half yards thirty
two inches wide. or two and a quarter
yards forty-four inches wide, will be
required.

of the stones are deep red in tone, 9th

a liquid rainbow of light. Quite diff

The family at Talbot were surprised
to hear that Bob" had stopped sing

count for it was that he missed his
little companion ring-dove. So they
decided, as they did not like to ask
to have Bob" returned, to send the
ring-dove on to him.
This was done, and the change in
Bob was wonderful. He began sing.

scienel for Young Folks.

Everybody knows. or ought to know,
that the pressure of the atmosphere
at sea levelA is in round figures, 15
pounds to tho square inch, but it is
not generally known that this may
be demonstrated in very simple way.
Take glass tube three feet in
length and closed at one end the open
ing in the tube being equal to one
eighth of an incn square. Pour mercu-
ry into the tube until it is full, and
then, with your finger over the open
end of the tube to keep the mercury
in and the air out, invert the tube in
to a small vessel containing mercury.
Having removed your finger from
the open end of the tube the mercury
in the latter is, of course. in communi-
cation with that in the vessel, and you
will find that the mercury in the tube
will fall six inches, leaving that much
empty space at the top.
Now put your finger over the open
end of the tube again, and lift the lat
ter from the vessel. Pour the mercury
out of the tube and weight it, and you
will find that it weighs three and
three-fourths ounces. That is to say,
a column of mercury one-eighth of an
inch square. and 80 inches in height
weighs three and three-fourths ounces.
But square inch is GA times as large
as one-eighth of an inch, and column
of mercury one inch square and 80
inches in i.eight would weigh, there

Tho Mocking Bird and the Ring Dove.


On the eastern shore of Maryland
there are some beautiful woods, and
these woods resound with the music
of the little mocking birds that gaily
fit from bough to bough.
Some years ago, about twenty-five.
there lived in Talbot. a Maryland
town, little girl named Alice, and
her brother William. They were the
only children of clergyman, and
were greatly loved by every one. Like
other children they had their pets, and
being in this land of songsters among
them were a mocking-bird and ring
dove.
"Bob," the mocking-bird had very
soft-gray back, and the sprinkling of
white on his black wings and tail
made him look as if he had just come
in from snow-storm. He and the
pretty ring-dove with the black half
ring around it's creamy neck We're
kept in the same room in cages that
were hanging side by side.
Bob" was the pride Of Talbot. He
could be heard through the village
streets at all hours of the day, and
very often at night, and the passers-
by paused to listen to the clear liquid
notes poured forth so sweetly from
his tiny throat.

came to visit them, and when the
