hing the InQuirers.

=
Little folks are won't to ask the most
terribly embarrassing questions at
times, and the more intelligent the
children are the more they will want
to know, for the active little brain OF
a clever child is always asking the why
and wherefore of everything. In deal
ing with children's questions be careful
to discriminate between those which
are asked from the desire to know and
those which are the outcome merely OF
a childish love of talking. The latter
are often best dealt with by saying,
quite gently: IF you think little.
dear, YOU will be able to answer that
for Yourself" To questions of the for
mer class reply if possible, as carefully
as YOU would to an adult questioner.
If the matter be beyond the child's
comprehension or unsuitable for ex-
planation to one of tender years don't
make any foolish or evasive answer.
Say simply: Il cannot explain that to
YOU now. for you are not old enough to
understand it. BY and by, when you
are older, if you come and ask me
again. then / will do my best to tell you
what YOU want to know" If parents
would speak thus to their children, in
stead of snubbing, or laughing at their
questions, they would keep their con-
fidence, and by and by would be re-
ferred to for information which boys
and girls are sure to want and which

A FABLE FROM SULU.
Story of the Cat and the Tiger Which
IL Quite Popular Among Our
Philippine Friends.

The Cat and the Tiger were once
on very good terms. They consid-
cred themselves members of the
same family, and, whenever any dis
putes arose among the animals, they
were both found vigorously support
ing the others cause. They were
often to be seen roaming about the
country together, and they frequent
ly did each other great services, the
Tiger by his superior strength, and
the Cat by his most nimble wit.
Although, for the most part, fast
friends, the Tiger, when they were by
themselves would often harass the
Cat by his conceited speeches.
"You may be very well for small
game" he would say, striding up and
down, and flashing his tail to and fro,
''but you must know that you are but
a small and very plain edition of me.

I have even put the great Elephant
to flight Look how my beautiful
stripes flash in the sun. Are you not
proud of belonging to my family?"
To this the Cat said nothing, but

time would come again, as it had fire.

be able to even the score.

Journeyings of. Skylarks.

The English skylark has inspired
several of the most beautiful poems
in our language, and it's migrations
are of character which, it would
seem, might appeal to English poets
only less effectively than it's song
does. In violation of the general rule
that birds move southwark in the au-
tumn, immense numbers of skylarks,
which have summered in Central Eu-
rope, arrive in England in September
and October, to pass the winter in
the British Isles. In October an en-
tirely distinct immigration of sky
larks enters Great Britain from Scan
dinavia, while all through the au-
tumn British-bred skylarks emigrate
southwark, many of them going to
the continent for the winter. Yet
others remain in England all the
year round.-Youth's Companion.

and she was unremitting in her efforts
to spare me unnecessary trouble or

In spite of this tender care, there
were times when the malady that l

alone, but sought to provide diversion
for me by making my room place

Tb. u.efu1 Cocoanut Tree.

From the trunk of the cocoanut palm
oil barrels, tubs and water pipes are
easily produced, and the roots give a
red dye. The fbers make ropes, mats,
and even paper. The kernel of the nut
is the main food Of several million of
human beings, whose most nourishing
drink is the milk. Cooked and evap-
grated, the kernel becomes the COM
mercial cocoanut of the confectioner.
Pressed, it yields cocoanut oil-one
Of the most important of commercial
oils-used in cookery, for soapmaking
and for candles. Cocoanut oil soap will
produce lather. even in salt water.
Wax and resin are yielded by the
same tree, and by tapping the central
bud of growing palm delicate wine
is obtained. Even the shell of the nut
is not without it's uses. It is employed
everywhere in the tropics for cups and
dippers.

Mr.. GRUMPY.

Did you ever meet with a person queer,
Whose manners are most unpleasing?
In each of his eyes there hides tear,
l wonder it isn't freezing.
For he looks so cross and he looks so cola,
And he carries his shoulders humpy;
And think you hardly need to be told
That his, name is Mr.. Grumpy!
One meets with him, I'm sorry to say,
Much oftener than is pleasant;
I thought caught sight of him here to-day.
Let's hope that he isn't present!
He has rosy cheeks he is small and fat,
In fact. you might call him dumpy;
And he takes no notice Of child or cat
Cantankerous Mister Grumpy!
He sometimes comes in the midst of play.
And sometimes when toys get broken;
And frequently he has come to stay
Because of some chance word spoken;
If the bread and milk has taste OF burn,
Or if the porridge is lumpy
He is here again, ere you well can turn
Disconsolate Mister Grumpy!
Now let me tell you that grumpy folk
Grow up most ugly and horrid;
With pouting lips and with head a-poke,
And wrinkly frown on the forehead.
They never are big. and fine, and tall.
But little, and thin, and stumpy;
So tell him. the next time he pays a call:
"Begone with you, Mr.. Grumpy"

broad grins of delight and clumsy

broad grins of delight and clumsy
curtseys.
The native Bulgarian children are
neither pretty nor graceful, but they
are good, solid, comfortable-looking
little mortals. Their high cheek
bones and rather oblique eyes be-
speak their Finnish origin, and their
propensity to quarrel with each other
when flying their brown paper kites
or playing ball tells of the wild
Illyrian blood of some of their ances-
tors. Even their language is harsh
and unmusical. The feminine name
Grace, in the Bulgarian tongue, turns
to Bluggerdot.
The peasant girls are always bare
headed, their black hair plated in
tight pigtails, while the boys have
their hair cut square in the neck, and
wear clumsy black caps of astrakan
or sheepskin. Their stockings are OF
homespun wool, knitted in, gay
stripes and never fastened up tight
and trim. Most of them wear the
leathern sandals tied about their
ankles, although some have adopted
heavy sort of brogan. All the cloth
ing for the children is woven by their
mothers on the native looms, and
does not easily wear out. The boys
have coarse trousers coming nearly
to their ankles, and shapeless jackets
of the same material, while the girls
have homespun dresses of blue and!
aprons that look like strips of gay
rag carpet.
The contrast between these chill
dren of the people and the little
princesses in their pretty European
dresses is most noticeable to outsid-
ers, but the children themselves
never seem to think of it. The
princes, Boris and Kiril, are now
wearing the regular uniform of Bull
garian officers, for Prince Boris and
Kiril, are now wearing the regiment
of Foot, the Fourth regiment of cav
airy and the Third regiment of artil-
lery.

BORN TO THE PURPLE.
Royal, Their Training and Re-
lations with the People.

There is scarcely throne in Eu-
rope whose occupant is not directly
or Indirectly related to the four lit
tie children who race in and out OF
the big white stucco palace in Sofia,
Bulgaria, or, accompanied by the
royal guards in scarlet iveries and
mounted on coal black horses, ride
gathering up and down the wide,
paved streets of the Bulgarian cap
ital, says the New York Tribune.
The boys-Baris, prince of Tirnova
and heir to the throne, and his young
er brother, Kirl, prince of Preslav-
are beginning to ride horseback
themselves, but the little maids,
dainty Princess Eudoxia and tiny
Princess Nadezhda, who was born
only on the day preceding her moth
ers' death, occupy the royal coach
with their German nurse. While it
is said the Bulgarian peasant folks
do not like Prince Ferdinand, whom
they still count an aristocratic alien
and responsible for the deficit in
their treasury, they are devoted to
these children, born among them and
inheriting the sweet face and gentle,
kindly ways that endeared their
mother to them. She was always low
ingly called 1.-The Yellow Rose of Par
ma" and at her death the entire ma
ton mourned.
As the children take their daily
ride through the paradoxical city,
where old Turkish houses, with roofs
tiled or covered with fattened out
Russian kerosene cans, are in sharp
contrast to the fine new parliament
house, the national theater, whose
name is "Tears and Laughter" and
other new state buildings, they bow
right and left to all the peasant chill
dren, who return the salutation with
