WITH LOVE FROM LIBBY.

One cold morning, a number Of
girls and boys were gathered around
the stove in a country schOol-rOom
They talked and laughed among
themselves, but did not seem to see
new pupil who stood apart from
the rest Now and then they turned
to stare rudely; but nobody spoke
to her.
The little girl had never been in
school before, and she began TO feel
shy and homesick. She wished she
could run home to mother, and have
a good cry in her loving arms. One
little teardrop trembled in her eye and
was ready to fall; but it never did,
for just then something happened.
Suddenly the outer dood flew open,
and a very bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked
girl rushed in. She brought plenty Of
the clear, frosty air with her, and a
cheer to the schoolroom that it had
not had before. After saying good
morning to everybody, her eyes fell
upon the new girl.
Woodworking" she said, sweetly,
across the stove-pipe.
The little girl on the other side
frightened up at once, though she an
swered somewhat timfdly
"Cold, isn't it?" the newcomer
went on, pulling off her mittens and
holding her red hands over the stove.
Then she sent one Of the plump hands
down the depths of her pockets, and
when it came out, it held fine red
apple. With her strong fingers she
split it in two, and, with a smile, She
she gave it to the new scholar.
"Do you like apples?" she asked.
The little girl did like apples very
much, and she thought none had ever
tasted so nice as this.
"My name is Libby" said the owner
of the bright eyes; what is yours?"
"My name is Hetty," replied the
other little girl.
well" said Libby, "do you want
to sit with me? There is a vacant
seat beside mine, and know the
teacher will let YOU"
Hetty thought she should like that
very much. so the two little girls went

The Number Ten.

In arithmetic everything goes by
tens. Sociologists trace the human
liking for that number to the pen
tadigitate" or five fingered limb,
which is a charact57STgt feature Of
the entire vertebrate family A frog
would plump for the decimal system
for just the reasons that impel hui
man beings. Even a horse, which
now has only one finger and toe on
each foot, has hints in his anatomy
which show that his ancestors had
the pentadigitate arrangement. BIZ
ologsits are much interested to con
slider how the number evolved was
FIVE. Why no four fingers or six or
more? Somehow, more than five
would appear to be rather more than
one brain could give independent at
tention to, while five are more usefu'
than four.

An Ambitious Woman.

UNSAFE PLACE FOR BABY.

The story is told of four men in
India, who, after having returned
from an unsuccessful hunting eXpedi-
ton decided to while away an hour
shooting at a mark. A large earthern
jar, such as the Hindoos use for car"
rying water, was standing in field
a hundred yards away, near where
some natives we're working. This jar
was agreed upon as the mark. All
of the men were crack shots, yet the
bullets only grazed the jar. Just af-
ter the fourth shot, which struck the
earth beneath the jar and covered i:
with dust, screams began 10 issue from
the vessel, and upon examination a
baby was found in the jar. His par
ents, who were working in the fields
had place him there for safe keep
ing, and he slept souadly until the
last SHOT disturbed his slumber and
gave him fright.

THE FLY-AWAY BIRD.

There's a Flyaway-bird in Lullaby
town
Whose. feathers are fine to see;
They're pink and purple and yellow
and brown.
And it lives in the lollipop-tree.
So close up those two little twinkling
stars,
And shut them up tight in your
head
Put your thoughts in your night-cap,
jump on the cars,
And find Lullaby town in your bed.
All good little dollies who go to their
rest
With brows free from wrinkles or
froWn,
Catch Flyaway-birds from pretty
red nest
Way off in sweet Lullaby-town.
So close up those two little twinkling
stars,
And shut them up tight in your
head:
Put your thoughts in your night-cap,
jump on the cars,
And find Lullaby-town in your bed.

POWER IN FLYING.
Less Required Than IN Any Other
Method of Progression.

Merhod or progression.
Flying, from the figures available,
may be considered the easiest of all
methods of progression, calling for
less horse power than any other, says
the Scientific American. AS a proof
iof this take, for example, the case
of the storks which, in their annual
nigrations, make a flight between
Budapest in Hungary and Lahore in
india. This, in airline, is perhaps
$500 to 2400 miles, and the distance
is accomplished in about TWEEN .y-four
hours, without a rest. A horse driven
in a sullly 100 miles in a long sum-
mer day is not far from the limit of
endurance. Six hundred miles in
week is near the limit of man in heel
and toe walking. One thousand two
hundred miles is approaching the
record of the "go as you please gait"
Among wild animals 100 miles is
about as much as can be found in the
records for twenty-four hours, but
the bird weighing anywhere perhaps
up to twenty pounds makes the $500
miles in twelty-four hours with ease
ind certainly twice in a year. If the
weight is put at ten pounds this
equals twenty-five ton miles On the
best and most level railroad and with
carriages operating with the least
friction, a ten-pound animal would
find it difficult to haul twenty-five
Ions one mile in tWenty-four hours.
These birds fly at great heights, I'm
doubleday to reduce the resistance Of
ehe air There are many other ex-
hmplas that might be given of long
distances covered by heavy birds,
showing the small amount of power
required in flight. The immense speed
bf many of cur birds, when in ordi-
harry fight is another proof Of the
small amount Of E3wer required.
No animal, whatever its weight, a
bird only excepted, can make any
iuch speed as nintey to one hundred
miles an hour. Among the birds
there is a long list of those whose
speeds are from eighty miles an hour
pward, their weights all being under
fifteen pounds Parenthetically, it
may be remarked that naturalists
will give dimensions of birds to an
eighth of an inch, carefully spreading
their wings and arranging the feath-
ers, but it never occurs to them to
give weights The eagle may weigh
five to fifty paunds, so far as the rec
ords show. Hunters rarely speak of
the weight of birds, though the
weight of game is often estimated,
and the weight Of fsh given to the
nearest ounce.
The facts just given, when taken
together, show pretty conclusiyely
that tee power necessary for animal
flight is extremely small rather than
very great, 1t also seems to be proved
that to fly successfully the speed
must be high.

While he was lying on the ground his own horse

An ambulance surgeon announced that Ogtlvie
