HOW FLIES BRUSH THEIR COATS.

Willie, flushed and happy, had just
come in from the barn, where he had
been playing hide-and-seek, an ex-
change relates.
Il guess my little boy needs to find
a brush" said mother. looking up
from her work. For there were cling
ing to his pretty sailor suit bits of dry
grass and seeds from the mows, and
some were playing peek-a-boo in the
little fellows hair.
ooh, mother, can't I wait? Pm just
too tired now"
"If flies had been playing hide-and-
seek, they wouldn't allow a speck of
dust to stay on their heads; they'd
brush it off," casually remarked Aunt
Nan.
Flies Exclaimed Willie, incredu-
lousy. "Where'd they get their
brushes, I'd like to knoww
ooh, they have them, and use them" j."
laughed Aunt Nan.
"Hair brushes" questioned Willie; /;
and his face took on a perplexed look.
Eyes; and with them they always
keep themselves very clean. Have you
never seen a fly rub his delicate front
legs over his head~
"LOts and lots of times" replied
Willie, quickly.
"Wen," resumed Aunt Nan, "there
are a great many hairs on the under
side of fy's feet and legs, and these
form tiny hair-brushes. When any
dust gets on a fy's head, he brushes
it off at once; and then ne rubs his
legs together, as you have probably
noticed. This is so that no dust may
cling to the little brushes"
"Hurrah, Mr.. Flyp exclaimed Will

there lies the hope. Love may be of

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

One day in huckleberry-time, when lit
tie Johnny Flails
And half-a-dozen other boys were
starting with their pals
To gather berries, Johnny's pa, in
talking with him, said
That he could tell him how to pick so
he'd come out ahead.
First find your bush," said Johnny's
pa, "and then stick to it till
You've picked it clean. Let those go
chasing all about who will
In search of better bushes; but it's
picking tells, my SON
To look at fifty bushes doesn't count
like picking one"
And Johnny did as he was told; and,
sure enough, he found,
By sticking to his bush while all the
others chased around
In search of better picking, twas as
his father said;
For while the others looked, he work
ed, and so same out ahead.
And Johnny recollected this when he
became a man;
And first of all he laid him out a we'll
determined plan;
So, while the brilliant trifers failed
with all their brains and push,
Wise, steady-going Johnny won by
sticking to his BUSH"

of two ladies say to the other. "Why,
they mean mew she exclaimed, In
pleased surprise. FFNo one ever called
me pretty before. It must be because
l am smiling" Again, as she entered
stret car, she heard: 'Do you see
that pretty-Iooking girl?" "Wen, I
declare" she unused, II am always GO
ing to look happy, if this is. what comes
of it! I have thought myself homely
all my life, and here twice in one day
I've been called pretty" From that
day she did try to look happy, and
now she is regularly considered as one
of the leading beauties of her social
circle.
This little story contains a lesson
for our boys as well as our girls, and

as possible, in her home as well as else

WATCHING FOR FAULTS.

'When was boy" said an old
man, II was often very idle, and dur
ing the lesson used to play with other
boys as idle as myself. One day we
were fairly caught by the master.
Boys he said, you must not be idle f.;
you must attend closely to your books.
The first one of you who sees another
boy idle will please come and tell me-
"Ah!" I thought to myself, "there is
Joe Simmons, whom I don't like. I'll
watch him, and if I see him look off
his book I'll tell the teacher"
'It was not long until I saw Joe
look off his book, and I went up at
once to tell the maste1.
" Indeed,' said he, how did you
know he was idleY
81 saw him. said I.
"'You did? And were your eyes on
your book when you saw himY
Il was caught, and the other boys
laughed, and I never watched for idle
boys again"
If we watch over our own conduct,
and try to keep it right, and always do
our duty, we will not have time to
watch for faults or idleness in others.
This will keep us out of mischief and
make us helpful to others.-Baltimore
