How Mike Reformed the Mediums.

He grew up in the Berry Hill slums.
Being always with hoodlums, he was a
hoodlum himself. How could he be other
wise? The best fun the Berry Hill toughs
could have was to shy missiles at automo-
biles. What right had those kissing. sput-
tering monsters on earth? Suddenly
Mikes father had a windfall; he inherited
a fortune from the old country. One of the
first things he did after getting new
home was to buy an automobile. And one
of the first things Mike did, when his
father was away, was to have the chauffeur
drive him right through the Berry Hill
neighborhood.
He knew what to expect, and was not
disappointed, but he stood bravely up in
the car motioning to his old comrades that
he had something to say
Hey, fellers." he began. these autobugs

Each tried to see which could blow the
largest bubble, and they soon found they
could spend no breath on ordinations. so
they tried to call out without taking the
spools from their mouths: but this made
such funny little grunts and squeals that
they could not blow for laughing.
''Oh, mamma. see my bubble grow smail!
said Alice.
'Yes. dear The hole in the spool is so
large, the air comes out rapidly. Place
your finger over the hole till you blow
again. And when you stop to take new
breath put your tongue over 1t, and the
bubble will keep its size
Then both Alice and Harry touched the
bubbles they were blowing together, and
often they became one large one, into which
both were blowing.
Then Harry found reed stem and stuck
1t into his spool, and stood on a chair. SO
that the bubbles would be high up in the
air. He would blow them the size of very
large oranges, and throw them over to-
ward mamma. who tried to fan ana blow
them up toward the ceiling.
'Oh. Harry, look! l blew that bubble in

chased away from her. followed by "a tiny
baby one" as Harry called it,
But just see here, Alice" and Harry was
throwing small bubble of the end of his
spool, catching 1t and blowing new one
Immediately. II Just now blew seven that
way, said he. So Alice tried it. BY this
time papa had come home. and after a
few minutes of admirlng the size and pretty
colors of these fairy balls they went down

The Oldest Doll in America.

From the Holiday Magazine.
Long, long ago. when William Penn sailed
from England on his second visit to Amer
lea. what do you think he brought with him
on the good ship Canterbury? An English
doll This passenger is the sole survivor
of that voyage across the Atlantic, which
was made over two hundred years ago.
William Penn had a little daughter named
Letit1a- Letitia heard her father tell won
derful tales of what he saw and heard in
Pennsylvania on his first visit to this coun-
try thousands of miles distant from Lett
tia'S home. He often told her about little
Miss Rankin, who, living as she did in the
wilderness of Pennsylvania (for this was
long ago, remember), had no toys at all.
not even one rag doll When Letitias
father was getting ready to again cross
the ocean to America, his little girl in
sisted upon sending a doll to that lone
some little girl.
So doll was dressed in a court costume
of striped and delicately tinted broca1e ard
velvet. The skirt was held out by enor-
nous hoops, for such was the fashion of
the well-dreSsed ladies of that period. The
doll itself is twenty inches high and has
the long waist and slender form of the
court beauties she left in her native lard.
Her hair is rolled back from her face
much in the style of today.
This doll now lives in Montgomery coun-
ty, Nd in the StricteSt seclusion. She is
only removed from her careful wrappings
when little girls desire the honor of max
ing the acquaintance of the oldest doll in
America.

The Sea Ponies.

If any chap who has a diving suit will
take the trouble to go walking some day
along the bottom of the sea, where the
water is not too cold and not so very Deep
he may find the sea horses. Little fellows
they are. with horse head and fish body.
They have no legs and only a single fin,
right on the back. The body tapers down
to a round, narrow point or tail, and this
the pony curls around a piece of seaweed
whenever he wishes to anchor or stay in
one place.
Wise people call the sea horse hippocam-
pus. This may sound a little like hippo
potamus. the name of the river horse, but
these two hippos are not even forty-second
cousins.
Hippocampus travels through the water
with his body erect. like a horse standing
on his hind legs. When Mrs. Hippo lays
her eggs at the bottom of the sea Mr. Hippo
gathers them up carefully and puts them
In pouch or pocket on one side of his tail,

they hatch out.

out and go prancing through the sea the
same as any other hippocampus

ooh. mamma, can you please give us two

him where to find them, for she usually
