Once upon time a wolf who was going
after the farmers chickens took the ad-
vice of a fox and disguised himself in
sleeps clothing.
For" said the fox, ''lf the dogs see
you they viii take you for a harmless
lamb and let you pass"
When the disguised woff was near the
chicken house, he heard the dogs bark
and saw them running toward him at the
top of their speed.
81 am a fool" said the wolf. ''for now
the dogs think l am lamb and have no
fear of me. I will change my mind, get
out Of this incumbering clothing and
make q winning fight"
But before he could get the garment off
the dogs were upon him and took his life.

The rocking stone which stands on the
fat surface Of an outcropping Of rock
on a little eminence In Bronx park does
not attract so much attention as the ami
mails there do, by any means, but there
are, nevertheless, always interested peo,
pie walking around 1t and trying to see II
they can move 1t.
This great fragment Of rock, which
weighs perhaps eight or ten tons or more,
has in its general outlines form in some
rough semblance to an egg. 1t lies on its
side, and so nicely balanced Is 1t that one
man Of fair strength can readily move 1t,
and almost any two persons can start 1t
into the rocking movement of which,
through small radius, it is susceptible.
A woman comes up and lays her gloved
hands upon 1t and presses gently; it
doesn't bulge
"Why, 1t doesn't move" she says.
But two or three women together can
set the great stone rocking easily.
And no matter who 1t may be that sets
the rocking stone in motion, he Is pretty
sure to find in setting it rocking sort Of
fascination.-New York Sun.

Ida Bennett says in American Homes
that there is scarcely a plant in the gar
den about which SO many musty tradi-
lions exist as about the pansy. Chief of
them, she says. Is the tradition that 1t is
a shade loving plant. Fifteen years expe-
rience has convinced her that pansies
ought to be grown in the sun. and also
watered in the middle of the day. The
essentials Of success are twice a day
watering and the faithful going over the
beds every day during the blooming sea-
son and the removal Of every faded flow
or She lays special stress on the latter,
saying the ripening of even one pod Of
seed materially shortens the plants sea-
son of bloom. OF course during the very
hot weather one may not expect pansies,
for. like other plants, they have their
blooming season and take a rest after it.

A Parrot In a Whirlwind.

A certain retired general of the Indian
army possessed parrot and also a very
irascible temperament. The parrot was n
valuable bird. but was rather a nuisance
by reason of its extreme talkutivcness.
One day while the general was writing
his business letters the parrot kept up a
continual chatter very disturbing to the
writer.
At Inst the general could stand it no
longer, and. jumping up. he seized the
cage of the unhappy bird. which he whirl-
ed vigorously round and round. at the
same time swearing vigorously. Then he
set the cage down again, and silence for
some time ensucd.
At length. however, feeble voice came

The Spinning Machine Of n Spider

AuChlhc % u opEuCEs
The spinning machine Is situated under
the hinder part Of the spiders body. 1t
takes the form of a slight depression,
which close inspection shows to consist
Of six small bodies resembling tubes.
Four of these contain an immense num-
Der Of minute openings-as many as q
thousand can be counted In each-and
from every one Of these openings a Wis
cous fluid issues, which hardens on ex-
posture to the atmosphere. The whole
1000 threads are united into one line,
which Is sometimes 80 fine that 100000
twisted together would not have a COM
bined diameter greater than that Of an
ordinary hair from the human head.
1t is impossible to conceive the ex-
cessive slenderness of one Of the 1000
threads which compose such line. The
bare statement that each one has thick
ness only one sixteen thousand millionth
Of that Of human hair does not in any
way convey the impression Of its won
derful fneness. The mind can no more
grasp the meaning of such figures than it
can understand the immense distance Of
which astronomers talk so glibly.
