THE FAIRY LAMPS.
The Little eare-Legeed Boy and the
Fairy of the Woods.

From Ernest Thompson Setons Fable
and Woodmyth" in the December Cen
turyl
There was once little bare-leEged
brown limbed boy who spent all his time
in the woods. lie loved the woods and
all that was in them. He used to look,
not at the flowers, but deep down into
them. and not al the singing OF the bird
but into its eyes, to its little heart; and
$" he got an insight better than most
others, and he quite gave up collecting
birds eggs
But the woods were fun Of mysteries.
lie used to hear little bursts Of song. and
when he came to the place he could find
no bird there. Noises and movements
would Just escape him. In the woods he
saw strange tracks, and one day at
length, he saw a wonderful bird making
these very tracks. He had never seen the
bird before, and would have thought it
great rarity had he not seen its tracks
everywhere. So he learned that the woods
We're full of beautiful creatures that were
skilful and quick to avoid him.
one day as he passed by a spot where
he had been hundred times before, he
found birds nest 1t must have been
there all the time, and yet he had not seen
ii; and so he learned how blind he was
and exclaimed: "Oh, if only l could see
that l might understand these things! II
only l knew If ] could see but for once
how many there are and how near!
II only every bird would wear over its
nest this evening a little lamp to show
me"
The sun was down now; but all at once
there was soft light on the path. and
in the middle of it the brown boy saw a
Little Brown Lady in long robe, and in
her hand a rod
She smiled pleasantly and said: Little
boy am the Fairy of the Woods | have
been Watching I;1.
You seem different from other boys. Your
request shall be granted"
Ihen she faded away. But at once the
whole landscape twinkled over with Won
dertul little lamps-long lamps short
lamps, red blue and green, high and low
doubles singles and groups; wherever he
looked We're lamps-twinkle. twinkle
twinkle here and everywhere. until the
forest shone like the starry sky He ran
TO the nearest, and there, sure enough
was a birds nest And here and there
each dlierent kind of lamp stood for a
dl1erent Kind of nest beautiful pur-
pie blaze in "A low tangle caught his eve
lie ran there and found a kind of nest he
had never seen before. 1t was full of
purple eggs and there was the bird he had
seen but once. 1t was chanting the weird
song he had often heard, but never traced
But the eggs We're the marvellous things
Ills Old egg collecting instinct broke out
lie rushed forth to clutch the wonderful
prize, and-in an instant all the lights
We're out There was nothing but the
black woods about him. Then on the
pathway again shone the soft light. 1t
grew brighter, till in the middle of it he
saw the Little Brown Lady-the Fairy OF
the Woods. But she was not smiling now.
Her face was stern and sad as she said
i fear | set you overnight l thought
you better than the rest. Keep this in
mind
who reverence not the lamp of life
can never see its light"
Then she faded from his view

Difference Between Surprised and AS.

Noah Webster, the dictionary author.
was known in life as a stickler for the
correct use of English his position as an
authority on the language clinging to
MIN even in ordinary conversation. The
New York Times also relates of him that
he was an admirer of feminine beauty,
once kissing a pretty maid who was en-
ployed in his household. The little scene
occurred during the absence, of Mrs. Web
ster from the room, but she unfortunate
~ returned Just in time to see her hus-
bands arms about the maids waist. She
stopped in the doorway as she realized
the situation, and in a tone of horror ex-

Whereupon Mr.. Webster, cody and

The Old Canteen.

l tell, you. Jim, it aint no use,
a soldier can't forget
Those bloody scenes are just as fresh
AS on the day we met:
But all the relies of the war
The broken sword. I ween.
Il en- knapsack old, there is none like
The dear old tin canteen
You recOllect as we'll as
The hunger and the thirst
The mad career Of horse and men.
Where rebel shells had burst;
But after all, you gray old vet,
The best remembered scene
was when We stole a chance to drink
From out the old canteen.
l know, well as any man
That wore the blue or gray
That war Is hardship cen at best.
mo Victory crown the day;
But yet dear Jim, you gray old bat
You know the freshest scene
Was when you drank the last dear drop
From out the old canteen.
We We're in Libby! Yes. dear Jim,
We We're among the first,
And Marathon, Thermopyle,
The bloody wars Of erst.
Knew not the woe of rebel pens.
The guard of naughty mien.
But even there did we forget
To love the old canteen?
oh, yes. I know the bit of rice.
The hoe-cake and the corn.
Like orient viands seemed TO us
From dear old Plenty's horn;
BUT still, you one-legged, gray haired Jim
No memory is so green
AS when We risked our lives TO kise
The lips of that canteen
But in the dust together lie
The boys in blue and gray,
The war is but memory gone
or that eventful Day;
But as we wander mid their eraves
Where willows softly lean,
we dimly see, thro yelling tears
That holy old canteen
and While we bow above the braves
That death, dear jim, made one.
we must forget there ever was
A battle fought and won;
BUT II we cherish in our hearts
Some dear and holy scene.
Don't let the hallowed memory go
OF that old tin canteen.

Where White Ants Are Useful.

A white ants nest is about the last
thing in the world one would expect
to be of practical service TO mankind
yet in Western Australia white ants
and their nests are put to variety
of economic uses.
In the first place, the aborigines
sometimes eat the ants, and there are
even a few white residents who have
tasted them, for the sake of expert
ence, and say they are not bad. But
it is not habit with the aborigines
to eat the insects; they prefer to de-
YOUR the mold out of which the ants
build their nest.
Capital ovens are frequently i'm
provised by the Australian prospector
out Of these white ant mounds. They
make solid floor, almost like &C.
ment, for the settlers huts, and in
the township of Derby, in western
Australia, they have been turned to
profitable use by being rolled in as
top layer on the public roads.
