Brother Jonathan.

Did any Of you little people. ever
know where this nickname of the peo-
pie of the United States originated?
Well, one time during the Revolu-
tionary war, when the army was in
sore need Of supplies and ammunition,
at council that was held General
Washington demanded funds, which
'were, however. unavailable. At length
Washington said In despair, "Well, we
must consult Brother Jonathan about
It" referring to Governor Jonathan
Trumbull Of Connecticut. Now. Il hap
pened that the governor was % &C
cessful in raising the necessary money
that after that when there wsFs any
difficulties to be met tho soldiers used
to say, "Go to Brother jonathan" And
after awhile when the origin Of the
phrase was lost the oppression still
was popular and IS In use at the pres
ent day.

The Magic Fish.

Gut a large fish out Of very stout
writing paper.
In the center Of It cut small round
hole, and from this hole cut a narrow
slit extending straight out to the tail.
Put few drops Of oil in the round
hole and then quickly but carefully lay
the f1sh nat on the water, making sure
that no water reaches the upper sur
face Of the fish.
The fish will then be seen to move
slowly along through tho water, al
though It has not received the slightest
push.
The explanation Is that the oil which
you have dropped into the little round
hole tries to expand.
AS the paper does not absorb 1t quick
~ 1t starts to spread along the narrow
slit that you have cut in the fish from
the hole to the tail. And In doing this
1t pushes the fish forward.
Try this experiment, boys and girls.
