The kite is what they like best, and
such kites as they havei American boys

them. Not only are they OF all shapes

Others look like animals but ths
oldest of all are the fighting kites.
These have their strings soaked With
glue, into which powdered glass has
been busted, for distance Of thirty
feet from the kite. When the glue hard-;

In the Contrary Zoo.

The fox was logging the rabbits steps,
The jackaI was aping the dog,
The wolf walked around with a sheepish

And Bruin was acting the hog.
The lion played 'possum. the monkey he

And the parrot was voted a goose,
The elephant monkeyed awhile with his

All armored for fight;

And his death dealing spear
Against his chain armor would rattle
As he marched TO a doughty career.

The Garden Party.

The garden gave a party,
The blossoms all we're there;
Each blossom came IN best attire.
With we'll. combed maidenhair.
They were all in brilliant colors,
Scarlet and white and blue;
while on every blossoms dainty feet
Were lady slippers new
Not bare-handed came the blossoms,
The cards had said full Dress"
And each slim blossom hand was clasped
In soft foxglove caress.
Queen Margaret ruled the reve.s,
Her crown with jewel weeds CLEANED;
But when they saw her flmy gown
The blossoms almost screamed.
Her clothes are not her own" said they;
Tier conducts a disgrace,
From head to foot she's borrowed.
She's wearing Queen Anne's lace"
The Queen tried hard to pass it off
Said she: IT'S pleasant weather"
She tossed her head, the blossoms saw
She wore the princess feather.
Rose and violet led the dance
Across the rolling green,
While soft beams OF the moon flower
Lit up the charming scene.
There we're not sufficient glasses
When the guests were asked to sup,
And the hostess. greatly mortified,
Drank from butteTcup.
| And when the dance was over.
/ Hanging their sleep heads,
! The tired but happy blossoms
/ Sought out their garden beds.

hole. as large in proportion as a hole
made by poking your finger through

would be likely to notice, even with one
eye. such a hole in the photograph
Why do you not notice the larger hole
in the larger picture? One reason is
that the hole moves with your eye and

are not conscious of missing one part
now and another part then.
When both eyes are open there IS no
hole. as each eye sees the spot missed
by the other To find the hole IL is best
to take a picture made expressly for
the purpose. like the star and cross
