What the Moon Saw.

"In the inn parlor Of little provin.
cial town." said the moon, sat a man
who was travelling about with bear.
He was eating his supper. The bear
was tied up outside against the pal
ings. Poor Bruin! he would do no one
any harm although he looked grim
enough. Up in the garnet three chill
dren were playing together by the
light Of my rays the eldest might be
six years old, the youngest not more
than two. "Stump, stump; somebody
was coming upstairs; who could 1t be?
The door flew open; 1t was Bruln-
great shaggy Bruin. He had got tired
Of waiting outside In the court. and
had found his way to the stairs.
saw It all" said the moon.
"The children were very much
frightened at the shaggy beast; each
OF them crept into a corner, but he
found them all out and smelt them;
but he did not hurt them. This must
be a great dog, they said and began
to stroke him. When he laid himself
down on the ground, the youngest boy
climbed on his back. hid his head
with It's golden curls, In the beasts
shaggy fur, and played at hide-and'
seek. Presently the eldest boy took
his drum and began to beat upon II
until It ratified again. Then the bear
rose up on his hind legs and began to
dance. Oh, 1t was most charming to
see!
After that each boy took his gun
and gave the bear one also which ne
held quite properly; this was indeed
a splendid playfellow they had found

Chinese Sports.

We always think of the Chinese as
having and doing things in sort OF
upside down fashion. Perhaps this Is
because they are on the other side OF
the world. In the matter of their
play even they are different from
ourselves. For instance, their most
popular game Is a sort of battledore
and shuttlecock, but not played with
bats and balls as we play 1t. Instead,
the shuttlecock is a piece of copper
money and the feet, hands, head, back
or any parts of the body that Is handy
for the moment is used in place OF Q
battledore. The piece of money (call
ed "cash") is covered with piece
of cloth, to which is attached o
bunch Of feathers. Then the first
player either kicks or losses the shut
tlecock into the air. The other play.
ers stand around in q group and as
the shuttlecock comes down all
make a rush for 1t to knock It up
again. 1t is then that the different
ways of driving the shuttlecock are
brought out. Maybe one boy will
catch 1t on the top of his head and
send It up into the air. Another may
catch it on his elbow. Another will
stand on his hands, throw his feet
into the air and kick the shuttlecock
that way.

The part of the tube which is not
occupied by the alcohol is filled by
a large bubble Of air, which, of course,
rises to the highest part of the curved

There are other kinds of levels.
But the water level that we are

Thrust a long pin through a fiat
cork, attach short thread to the
bead OF the pin, and, with the aid Of
a stick, fasten the other end of the
thread with wax to the bottom of a
wide-mouthed bottle, on the inside.
Pour in water until the thread is
stretched tight by the floating cork.
Close the mouth of the bottle with a.
well fitting cork, and through this
thrust long hatpin and push 1t down
until its point nearly touches the
point of the pin below.
Now set the bottle on q surface
which you know to be exactly level,
and, If necessary. adjust the cork in
the neck so that one pin point is ex-
actly over the other. Then fasten the
cork securely in this position with
sealing wax.
Now, If the bottle is placed on a
table, one point will stand over the
other If the table is level, but not II
it is inclined. BY raising it TN one
side or another until one point Is over
the other you can make it level and
be sure that 1t is level in all iirec-
tons. You can test any other surface

Details regarding the last illness Of
Antonin Dvorak are given in Wen
nese journals. He had been weakened
by an attack of influenza, but had re-
covered so far that the doctor had
allowed him to plan an excursion to
the country. He was particularly anx-
ious to hear again the song of the
birds, which always had given him
much pleasure. But before he could
start on this trip he had a stroke Of
paralysis and died. In course of a
conversation with a journalist a few
weeks before his death he declared
that he had not given up composing
symphonic works, Notwithstanding
the entreaties of publishers, and that
he would devote the rest OF his career
to writing operas. He had already be
gun work on two new operas, and was
so eager to continue that he refused
all offers from managers, including
one for a tour through Austria, Ger
many, France and Italy, for which he
was to receive nearly $4,000 week.
Wilton Lackaye has been talking
again, and this time much to the
point. THE regular theatergoers, es-
pecially in New York." says Mr.. Lack
aye, belong to the class that has the
bicycle eye for dollars, and they don't
want to think at night. They want to
be distracted. The man who is accus-
toned to seek distraction in chowder
parties doesn't realize that chess also
may be distraction. There is the.
same difference between musical COM
edy and Ibsen. Musical comedy rep
resents the theatrical temper OF New
York. New York Is not the dramatic
capital of the country, anyway. Most
of the successful plays in New York
this season succeeded in Chicago first.
People with the largest hands h4ve'
the poorest taste, as managers often
find TO their cost when they take
typical New York success into tho
smaller and proportonately more cul-
tured communities"

With a ruler draw seven parallel
straight lines, at equal distances apart,
on large stiff card. The easiest way
to do this is to lay the upper edge of
the ruler along the first line, draw the
second line along the lower edge,
move the ruler until its upper edge is
on this second line, draw the thlrG
line along the lower edge, and so on.
In the same way draw seven other
lines, the same distance apart, at right
angles to the first seven.
