When I was ten and you were eight,
Two years between us Stools
We used to meet by daddyS gate
A stolen kiss was good.
When I was twenty-quite a boy
You still were my hearts queen,
But grown of kissing somewhat coy
You see-you're quite sixteen!
When 1 was thirty, bronzed and tail,
With sweethearts, too, in plenty,
met you at the Wilson's ball
You told me you were twenty.
I'm forty now, a little more
Oh, Time, you ruthless bandit!
But you-you're only twenty-four-
I can not understand it,

children's costume as often as they
wish OF course this is always posi-
BILE with the ready made paper dolls
which are bought in the shops. but lit
tie girls who are devoted to paper dolls
always prefer to cut out of papers and
books both dolls and wardrobes. as In
this way they are able to possess dolls
unlike any one else's.
In order to be able to change the COS
tunes. select a pretty head and fasten
it with beeswaX to the top of a short
strip of paSteboard. All sorts of Co.'S
tunes may then be cut from fashion
papers, etc, and fastened to the bees
wax. A much greater variety of cos
tunes can be had in this way than
with the purchased costumes. To be
sure, before the costumes are bees
waxed on, the bodiless heads will pre-
sent q rather distressing appearance.
But Dame Fashion demands many sac
rifces, and every intelligent paper doll
would prefer to have her head chopped
off to staying in one costume all her
life

a remarkable memory for faces is
one of the attributes of George Den

buildings, no visitors are allowed at

open until o'clock. however, and
there is n constant stream of officials,

Charities Dream.

Charles was only little boy, and he
had not known many snowstorms., He
was confused at the warmth of the
fluffy, dry stuff that covered him. He
thought it surely could not be snow,
but he had never seen anything like it.
Even his horse was covered with it,
but he did not seem to mind
The boy was SO thirsty. he had
dreams of riding over the desert sands
and fancied his wooden horse an In
dian camel. Hurry up. dear fellow.
Keep on and get US away from this
sand. 1t is binding me. I am almost
chOked by it. o., on to water! These
were the things he whispered TO the
painted horse, holding it close to him
as he lay asleep on the red divan, all
cuddled up among the best cushions.
Could it have been the galloping on his
play horse that burst the red cushion
and let the down out, or was it that
button on Charles waist that caught
In the stitching? Anyway the fluffy
stuff that covered him and made him
dream of desert dryness was the
feathery inside that he had squeezed
out of the pillow. What did MS moth

The Safety of London TheaterS.

There is no gangway through the
stalls in an English theater and only
two exits, so that in the event of Il fire.
or, what is worse, of n panic, the rush
to these exits and up the steps in the
passages that skirt the back of the pit
and lead finally to the central lobby
would be terrible. One always feels
entombed in the stalls of an English
theater
However feelings are one thing,
facts another And there is no get
ting away from the fact that London
theaters are the safest in the world.
Year after year over 800 places OF
public entertainment are licensed by
the London county council, twenty
three of them being theaters and the
rest music halls, concert halls, assem-
bly, rooms, dancing saloons, and so on,
and in not single one of them has
death been caused by fire for nearly
fifty years.-Sydney Brooks in Har-

FOR THE CHILDREN
This Boy VIII BE n Sue


Willie Thompson, the office boy to a
large firm of publishers, was smart
lad, and when recently he was sent TO
one of the operative departments with
q message he noticed at once that
something was wrong with the ma
chinery. He returned and gave the
alarm, and this prevented much dam
age. This was reported TO the head OF
the firm, who sent for Willie.
You have done me a very great
service. my lad said the chief. In
future your wages will be increased by
80 cents weekly"
Thank you, SIR" said the bright lit
tie fellow. II will do my best to be
worth it.
The reply struck the chief almost as
much as the lads previous service had
done.

said In oil the years have been in

How spooner Annoys Lodge.

When Senator SpoOner of Wisconsin
gets up to deliver Il speech all his col
leagues listen attentively, but Il good
many of them watch Senator Lodge at
the same time. The Wisconsin man,
though quite scholar, is noted for his
eccentricities of pronunciation. For
example, he calls the liberated island
''Cu-bey;" reciprocity is ''ree-seeproc-
city," Panama" is .Panam-na," with
the accent on the man," "caliber" is
"callyeber;;" philippines" is phil
pens" These slips cause Mr.. Lodge
keen anguish, his own enunciation and
pronunciation being as near perfection
as mortal man can reach. 1t is said
that as soon as Spooner begins to talk
Lodge begins to Shudder, keeping up a
sort of suffering from govt expression
until the Badger statesman resumes his
seat.-Kansas City Journal.

A Ne,x Erench Riae.

A new French military invention is
on record. This time it is not the ma
chine gun, but the army rife. and
again the inventor steps out from the
ranks. Corporal Grissolange of the
First colonial infantry has devised q
method of greatly increasing the ca
pacity of small arms for rapid firing.
Instead of one magazine, holding eight
cartridges, as at present, GrissOlanSe
provides three magazines, holding al
together eighteen cartridges, which by
an easy mechanism worked with great
rapidity are brought up in succession
to the feeding tube. The army COM
mission on military inventions has just
notified Grissolange that the minister
of war has placed his invention before
the commission, with instructions to
examine and report upon it.

A Nice Game.

A delightful game for q party of
boys and girls is this:
Let the little host or hostess, with
mothers help, write a lot of quota
tons on long strips Of paper-quota-
tons from the Visit Of st. Nicholas"
Mother Goose" Alice In Wonder
land" ETC., and cut these strips up into
two or three pieces.
Then tack these pieces to curtains,
furniture, picture frames, screens and
cushions.
When the children arrive tell them
to find all the complete quotations they
can. When they have taken a slip OF
paper they must scurry around to find
the rest of the quotation contained on
1t.
The game goes on until all the slips
are gone. The boy or girl who has
found the greatest number of complete
quotations receives the prize.

REINDEER WOOL CLOTHES.
Their Buoxancy Makes Them an Aid
tn P.r.nns Learning to- swim.

to Persons Learning to Swim.
From their herds of reindeer the
Lapianders in northern Europe take
the wooIIy hair and make from it blan-
kets which are remarkable for their
excellent qualities of resisting mols-
ture and cold. OF these blankets the
United States consul at Frankfurt,
Germany. has this to say:
"a close examination of the hair OF
the reindeer furnishes an explanation
of its peculiar value. The hair does
not have q hollow space inside for its
whole length, but is divided or parti-
toned off into exceedingly numerous
cells, like water tight compartments.
These are filed with condensed air.
and their walls are so elastic and at
the same time of such strong resist
ance that they are not broken up Ell
Their during the process of manufac-
ture or by swelling when wet. The
cells expand in water. and thus it hap
pens that a man clad completely in
garments made Of reindeer wool does
not sink when in water because he is
buOyed w by means of the air con
tanned in the hundreds of thousands
OF hair cells. In the markets and
stores of Norway, Sweden and Russia
garments and blankets of reindeer
wool are to be had at lower prices
than other fabrics. In Vienna there is
a factory which manufactures gar
ments of reindeer wool. especially
bathing costumes. For persons una
BILE to swim the possession of such
garments is of great value. 1t is pos
sible that they may be utilized in
learning how to swim. Recently sue
cessful trials have been made in Paris
in this line. In England attention has
been directed to this peculiar property
of reindeer wool, and it is proposed to
take up its manufacture and possibly
to improve it'-Fibcr and Fabric.

If a man could eat as much in pro-
portion to his size as a sparrow is able
to consume he would need a whole
sheep for dinner, a couple of dozen
fowls for breakfast and six turkeys for
his evening meal. A tree sparrow has
been known to eat 700 grass seeds in a
day.
Even so tiny bird as the wren has
been counted to make 10 trips to and

the prey it carried home consisted OF
