of changing herself and Mary Emma she changed the whole army into horses, and they immediately began to eat grass. The King was delighted at this, because now he had enough horses to stock his whole king dom, and, besides, he owed the army two years wages, and now he would never have to pay them.
 All this time the Prince had been staring at Mary Emma just as hard as he could stare, and now he dropped on one knee and told her that he thought she was the very sweetest girl he had ever seen and that he would like her to be his princess at once and for evermore. Mary Emma said that she didn't mind, for she had always wanted to be princess and the King said they had better hurry up about it, for dinner was al most ready and he was hungry. So they were married at once, and then they all decided that they had better send the fairy godmother home as fast as she could go, for fear she would absent-mlndedly change them all into something else. The fairy godmother was getting homesick, so she flew off in hurry, and all the rest lived happily ever after.
 When the fairy godmother got home she called convention of all the fairy god mothers in the world and told them all about the way she had been treated. They all said it was perfectly shameful and that they were a very much abused class of people. Most of them went out of business
 
 so very few fairy godmothers about today.

HOW TO MAKE A PIN ORGAN.

this, 1t will greatly develop your ear for music, and so be of lasting benefit to you.
 Take soft pine board about three feet long and one foot wide and make a heavy line down the center in lead pencil. Get a box of large pins and light hammer, and your equipment is complete. Drive the pins in the board along the line down the center, having the pins about one-quarter of an inch apart. When the line is full of pins you are ready to tune your organ.
 Take a long pin, hatpin, for instance, and with its point bend slightly the first pin on the line. Then let it fly back, and you will find that it will give out distinct musical note. Now you must decide what tune you want to play on your organ. When you have selected your tune you can go ahead.

IT you stroll through Central Park one of these fragrant sunny afternoons you will see the heir ofsthe Van Astorbilt millions, as well as other happy children of various ages trundling their baby automobiles over the winding ways in victorious competition With the lesser lights in the goat carriages. A gleam of red and black, the tiny tinkle or silver bell, pair of dancing brown aves under flying curls, and dainty little moid flies past, working the little silver.mo,ntoa lever with all the skill of a trained antoist her silent httle speeder Is somewhat remi- niscent of other days, when nurse pushed ber charge in small red sleigh. for I;to +ho sled it Is curled over in the front aln,os. into baby's lap, and it skins along so close to the ground that the wee cushioned wheols can hardly be seen. Only now the nusb,ro power is something more mvster,ors o,s awful than even the most autocratic purso or childhood days. It is the chained light ming of the skies, brought down. like some huge giant of slave captured from reo,ons unknown, docilely to serve the needs of little child.

His broad sailor hat is pushed back impatiently from ton. der, childish brow, and he looks. carr,a, and all, with his alert air and businessIita handling of his machine, like an exact mini. ature of his grown-up father in a full fedged automobile.
 You stop him and ask him to wait minute while you unsling your camera. during which minute the usual crowd of children gathers to see the pictures taken. But he dimples shyly and responds while you turn the inquiring eye of the lens upon him:

No doubt many of our readers are accom- plished musicians, and play beautifully on the piano, violin, banjo or other musical in struments. Of course, almost all of our little friends can sing, and do sing, too, at school and Sunday school, and we feel sure that they are all very fond of music. Many of them, while very fond of instrumental music of different kinds, have no chance to play on any instrument.
 Here is an instrument which you can all make, and which, while 1t will not be very elaborate one or a rival to your mammals piano or the church organ, will give you lots of pleasure and sense of satisfaction at having your own self made something that will really play tunes when you wish to render an instrumental selection.

The further the pin is driven into the board the higher the note It will give out when touched by the hatpin. You must rely on your ear in driving the pin various distances into the board, trying each one after each few taps of the hammer. You will fndit better to drive the -firsc pin half way into the wood, for, as some of the notes you will want will be very low, 1t will be necessary to have some of the pins driven in but very little way.
 When you have hnised you can play a tune by simply drawing your hatpin along the line of pins. You can pick out other pieces easily enough after you have become accustomed to the various notes the pins make when struck, and with little prac- tice you can play almost any simple melody on your pin organ.

The census of the United States
in 1900 gave total population of
5,30S,4S3. The census just COM
pleted for 1900 shows population
of 76,305,000 souls. Director OF Gem
Gus Merriam after careful and con-
servative calculation figures the
population for the year 1000 at
40O,OOO,O00. Where the people are
to come from we do not know, but
Merriam says they will be there and
that New York and Chicago will
each have a population of 3O,OOO,'
600. In 1910, Chicago's population
was only 4,470, sixty years after it
was 1,69S,575, and one hundred
years late it is expected to be
100000.

hold and yet what is it to the pro-
phecied evolutions OF the present

Other countries expect an increase
in population at the same rate.
Brazil's minister to Washington
says that in 1900 Brazil had popu-
lation OF 3,0O0,0OO,of whom 100000
wsrer negroes and Indians. Now
the population is 20,00o,000,of whom
a very small percentage are Afric-
ans or Indians. He confidently ex-
poets that the end of this century
will see the population of Brazil in
creased to 1OO,OOO,OOO. If the terri
tory belonging to Brazil was as
thickly populated as ia Portugal the
population would easily reach 50O,-

commodate 300,000,000.

'SThe real need, to fill the veins

IF, therefore, alcohol is not the
