A TALE OF THE zoo.

At the zoo there are two bear cubs SC full of fun and frolicsome pranks that there is always a crowd of delighted little people about them.
 Some time ago the larger of these two cubs formed habit of chewing the ear oi it's smaller companion. No doubt this was intended as q loving caress, and the smaller bear did not mind 1t at all, but the directors and keepers of the zoo did; for before long all the hair was worn from the much chewed ear, making it's owner look like ragged little tramp.
 Many plans were tried to stop this mode of showing affection, but none succeeded until n keeper hit upon the idea of paint ing the ear with a strong solution of red pepper and collodion. It worked beauti. fully, for when the larger cub again tried his novel caress he quickly abandoned the painted ear, and flew with frantic haste to the fountain. He drank great gulps of water, and after time cooled his burning tongue and throat. He lost all desire tt pet his little companion, and was very sulky for long time, but now they are goot friends again.

A very great number of our readers nave written us letters telling us about the varl-
 ous musical instruments on whlch they plav. Some of these little people render choice selections before large audiences with creat success. some of them play at home entertainments and small social gatherings; but by far the largest number merely play for their own pleasure and that or tneir families. Of course. most or our reaoers do not play at all. and when they see some boy or girl of their own age render a mus tery composition of some prominent iliu. sicjan before an admiring audience they fool rather envious at having to sit quite st;iI and listen to the applause without heinz able to earn it themselves In the same way.
 Here is musical instrument which you can all make. and which will play itself, or. rather. which will play with the assistance of the wind It will render some peau'l1ul hormonies. too, and without ever seeing O. hearing them before, and it's chief attraction is that it will never weary you or any ohc tune. for It never plays the same thing twice.
 Get two pieces of hard wood three feet long. two inches wide and two inches thick. Rub these with sandpaper until they are nerfactly smooth on all sides. Then bore holes one.ouarter of an inch in diameter and half an inch deep into one side of each of these sticks. The holes must be two inches apart, and you should have about IA of them in each stick. Now sandpaper until they are perfectly smooth.

fellow who is going to turn me into barb wire fence, are you? Well, you just better lot let me catch you at it!'' Then they said nore things of the same kind and finally bach began to enchant the other just as hard as he could The magician knew much nore about enchantment than the brownie. md the first thing the brownie knew he was burned into beautiful, highly polished din- )ng-room tablet There he stood right in the middle of the road, while the magician walked of with his head up in the air and baid: "Humph! guess that Laownie won't try to enchant me again!'
 Now, when anyone knows anything about enchantment they cannot be enchanted nearly as much as one wno knows nothing at all about it, and so, while the brownie was turned into a table, it was not all table, but only part table and part brownie. So the table could talk and even move its legs a little. Of course, 1t was so nearly a table that its legs were stiff, and as the brownie was not used to walking on four legs it could only stalk along very awkwardly.
 The table stood there in the road for some time, and then 1t made up it's mind that it might as well go somewhere, and perhaps it could find someone who could change 1t back into brownie. So 1t started down the road In the direction opposite to that which the magician had taken. It had not gone very far when it met a little boy. He stopped and rubbed his eyes as hard as he could Goodness, gracious men he said .'Well, I never Who ever heard of a table walking"
 "Tabe yourself!' said the brownie. ''I'm a gentleman, l would have you know! Come, get out of the way there, Johnnie; I want to get by!

How To Make \ Wind Harp.
sSSHBSssspe7@

Der bands of various sizes Ten cents Will cover the cost. Some of the bands Will be long and thin, some short and thick, some both and some neither. Put one end Of the longest band through the hole in the end Of the peg in the outside end of one of the long sticks and tie a knot in the end of it, so that it cannot pull out again. Fasten the other end in the same way in the opposite plug on the other stick. Now fasten all the other bands to the remaining plugs in the same way and your harp is complete.
 You can tune the harp by turning the plugs around and thus winding up the rubber bands and making them tighter. Try to do this so the shortest one will have the highest note, and so each of the others will be three notes lower When you have tuned the harp to your satisfaction nail it by one of the long sticks to the boards just outside of a window. and when the first breath of wind strikes if the music will begin. If the breeze Is at all strong yor can easily hear it with the window closed and the melody will be very fine one. indeed-quite different from anything any of your friends play; quite as artistic and much newer and more novel.

 When Willie tried to take the table in the kitchen door it stretched out it's legs and caught them on the side of the door. Then when Willie gave q yank, of course 1t bruised the tables legs, and it said he was just as rough as he could be, and no gen tleman. It made such a fuss that Wllie's mother came running into the kitchen to see what was the matter.
 'I just found this table running away" said Willie, "and it would not tell me to whom it belonged, so l brought it home with me-"

The ladies said that 1t was just too charming for anything, and 1t was just utterly sweet, and then the table thought chat being a table was not so bad, after all.
 That evening the whole family were very anxious to eat dinner oh the new table, but the table did not like 1t bit, for the dishes and things were heavy and made his head ache.

Just then Willies father came in, and when he saw the broken window he was very angry. He was very stout man, and he had entered in such hurry that he was quite out of breath

Each word that you have written scores one point-if you have spelled it correctly, but if you have not, then two points are subtracted from your score. Then the words are rubbed out, leaving only the names at the top, and the player at the left end goes around to the right end, while all the others move one space toward the left. Then there is a new name in front of each player and the game goes on as before; each player scoring one point for every word he found in this name. Then the points are counted and scored again. When every player has fin. ished with every name, including his own, then the points are all added, and the one who has the most points wins. When a player has as many words as he thinks

Reconstructed Names; A Recess Game.

One of the most important studies that you will find in a public school course is spelling. Most of our little friends will have to use their knowledge of spelling much more frequently than their knowledge of any other study when they grow up, and, although it may not seem nearly so impor- tant as some of your other school work, still you will find when you become older that there is hardly anything you can do in any business or profession that does not demand great deal of spelling every day. Just suppose someone should write you a letter asking you to be president. How ashamed you would be if you were obliged to write letter accepting the honor and did not know how to spell some of the words in itl

The game Is great fun, too, as you will find when you play 1t, and you will not know. that you are learning to spell at all. Of course, that is the very best and incest way to learn, for then you will never forget.

Then fit the pegs into the holes in the larger sticks so that they will turn around when you twist them rather hard, but will not slip easily. Place the long sticks together so that they will be at right angles to each other. with the pegs all on the same side. Fit the ends carefully together and fasten them with a strong screw.

It makes no difference whether or not the rest have finished with their list of words. This makes whole lot of fun. The quickest does not always win, either, for he may misspell word through haste that will cripple his score badly.

The game can be played by any number, but six players are enough for recess time, Tor If there are more the game Is liable to be too long. nice thing about 1t Is that two players can have almost as much fun out of 1t as much larger number.
 The players stand in line in front of the blackboard, and each one has a space about three feet wide in front of her in which to write. The player on the right hand end writes on the blackboard the name of the player on the left-hand end, and then each of the other players writes the name of the player who is on his or her right hand When all have done this the real fun com. mences.

Of course 1t couldn't open the door and they caught 1t easily, but Willie's father was so angry that he said he was going to make short work of that table. But just then Willie proposed that they nail 1t fast to the floor, so that 1t would just have to stand still, and when 1t heard that the table said it would be as good as pie if only they would not chop it with an ax or drive nails into it.

No rain has fallen, except few
showers early in the week in the VIII

ties. The week has averaged the
warmest of the season, its first part
was unusually cool, after which the
temperature rose quite rapidly. The
maximum, or day temperatures, in
Western Oregon ranged between 60
and 96 degrees, and the minimum, or
night temperatures, between 46 and

maximum temperatures ranged be
tween 20 and 100 degrees, and the
minimum temperatures between "A

one of the severest wind storms ey-
er known at this season of the year
swept across the entire state on the
afternoon and night Of the 1lth. Ripe
grain, fruit, hops and cut hay were
badly damaged by the wind in many
sections Barley being further along,
suffered the most, and the yield will
be considerably lessened from this
cause. The damage to wheat was not
so great, owing to the fact that much
Of it was too green to be badly shat
tered, although the green wheat was
knocked down, the heads whipped off
and the straw broken in numerous ex-
posed places in different parts of the
state.
Fruit also suffered quite extensively;
many apples were blown off the trees,
and even the trees themselves in some
cases were blown down. The damage
to fruit was greatest in the Willamette
/ valley and the coast counties The
laterals TO the hop vines were torn
away, and in the more exposed yards
the poles were blown down. In the
case of cut hay; the stacks were blown
down, and the loose hay was scat
tered over the fields Most of II was
