THE ECCENTRIC EGG.

varying densities of the liquids account
for the erratic actions of the eggs.
To make an obedient egg we require
an egg which has previously been
blown. Through the hole you pour a
sufficient quantity of silver sand to
fill a quarter of the egg, and then seal
up the hole with wax. Having done
this, your egg can be made to assume
any position. You can perform the Co.
lumbus egg trick with the greatest
ease, you can balance it on the fiat
part of a knife, on it's sides or on it's
pointed end, the only care being taken
each time to we'll shake the egg in or
der to allow all the sand to collect at
the desired spot.
This is the obedient egg; now for the
disobedient one-the egg which will
only stand in one position, viz, on it's
pointed end, and which if subjected
to any amount of shaking cannot be
made to assume any other position.
Through the hole in the top pour
some ahot and add small quantity of
sealing wax. Then hold the egg over
gas flame, taking care not to crack it.
The wax and shot will then melt, land
when cooled, and the egg is placed on
the tuble, it will assume an upright
position and nothing will cause it to
take any other; it can be knocked
down, but it will Immediately jump up
again into its old position.-Golden

NEIGHBORS.

Jack and JAMIE 1.-Two side by side:
: They're neighbors close in a coy way.
And oh, what pleasure they have indoors
Or out in the street at play!
All, deary me! If they'd always agree.
What fun they could have in their play!
For Jacky and jamie keep 'house" and
school,"
And sometimes they set up a; store and
trade: ="
But once In awhile things don't go right,
And they quarrel then, I'm afraid.
Yes, deary me! These two disagree
And quarrel at times, I'm afraid
Then they play apart for the morning
through, II nr
And never neighborly word they say:
But they don't seem shappyI wonder
why
And it isn't pleasant day.
All, deary me! Why can't they agree,
And make it pleasant day?
But after luncheon they sidle out.
And jamie, perhaps. has piece of cake.
And she stands close up to the garden
fence,
So Jacky a bite can take ::
For. deary me! They soon would agree
If Jacky a bite would take!
She holds it out with a sidelong glance.
And Jacky moves up and takes bite
And then-the trouble is past and gone:
They will play together till night
Yes, deary me! They now can agree.
And they'll play together till night!

HELEN'S PET PORCUP1NE.

three forked sticks. Each one of the
men took one Of these sticks, and the
boy took Ratchet and climbed the
tree. When all was ready, the boy
cut off the limb of the tree, and down
came the porcupine. Papa and the
two men caught him with the forked
sticks.
Then they took bag they had with
them, got him into that, tied string to
each end of the bag, put pole through
and papa and the boy carried him
through the swamps and woods seven
miles to the nearest house. There
they hired boy to take them in team
ten miles into Bridgetown. When they
got there, papa took a box and put
some wire over the top. "Bluenose,"
for that is what we call the porcupine,
was then fixed to bring home. He lost
a good many quilts on the way home,
for most all the people wanted one a
a souvenir.
At first [ wasn't very we'll pleased

has fixed a neat little bedroom down
underground for him to sleep in when
it is cold. He told me to feed him,

learn to like him. Every morning
Bluenose is up watching for me to
come and feed him. He makes little
whining, crying noise that seems to
say: DO get me some breakfast" I
give him birch leaves, apples and sweet
corn. I do not know what shall do
when the birch leaves are all gone, for
he seems to like those very much. Per-
haps they make him think of his old
home in Nova Scotia. When I give him
an apple he sits up on his hind legs,
takes it one of his paws and eats it,
just as I have seen monkeys eat. He
doesn't drink any water. Dogs don't
seem to like him, but a great many
have been up to his cage to see him;
some stand and bark at him; others
look and run away. Even if he isn't
handsome, he is gentle, kind old fell

slant crouched the tall lieutenant.
Into this ditch leaped Bunny, and
the next second had whizzed past
the STOPPING form and bored straight
into little wooden drain. There
some unseen, unlooked-for object
blocked him.
Desperately the hind-legs kicked
and tore in the effort to force the
passage, and with a shout of tri-
umph the tall soldier swooped upon
the prize, seized the struggling legs,
swung the wretched creature aloft,
and for the first time in six mortal
hours met full in his own the gaze
of the deep, beautiful brown eyes he
had so striven to attract, and they
were half pleading, half command

Bre'r Rabbit was streaking eastward

This time when he looked up and
raised his cap, and stood there with
his blonde hair blowing down over
the broad white forehead, although
the soft curves of the ripe red lips
at the window above him changed
not, there was something in the
dark-brown eyes that seemed to say:
THANK you!"
Yet when he would have met those
eyes again that evening, when "Last

was sounding through the train, he
could not. Neither were they among
those that peered from between
parted curtains in the dim light of
the sleeper, many in fright, all in
anxiety, when somewhere in the dead
of the summer night long after all
occupants of the rearmost cars were
wrapped in slumber, the long train
bumped to sudden EARRING stand
still, and up ahead there arose sound
of rush, of excitement and alarm.

My papa, in company with two other
men and boy, went into the Nova
Scotia woods in the autumn for a va
cation trip. When he went away he
promised to bring me some kind of
pet for my eighth birthday, and q
porcupine is what he brought. He
seemed like an ugly-looking pet with
so many sharp quilts sticking out ell
over his back, and I wondered how
papa ever caught him. He said when
he was away out in the woods, seven
miles from the nearest house, he saw
him way up on the limb of a birch tree,
getting breakfast of birch leaves.
The first thing papa did was to cut
