Watha came to the borders of a lake
and, weary with travel and faint from
hunger, sat down on the shores and
wondered how in the world he was
going to get across, for he saw no ca
noes on the lake nor any signs of hui
man life.
AS he sat there, almost despairing,
great fight of wild ducks appeared.
1t was an enormous flock and the
whole sky was filled with the quackins
wild fowl as far as he could see. AS
Hiawatha watched in astonishinent
and regretted that he had left his
bow and arrow at home, the whole
flock settled down with a great flut-
ter of wings and great noise and
clutter to the surface of the lake,
which it completely filed from shore
Then all the ducks began to drink,
for they had flown far and were very
THIRSTY. When they had assauged
their thirst, the ducks rose into the
air again with a great swirl and rush,
and, 10! as Hiawatha looked, he saw
the bed of the lake laid bare, for the
thirsty ducks had drunk up all the
water.
The bed of the lake was covered
with the most beautiful shells. Then
said the chief and counsellor "Of these
beautiful shells, so strangely shown
10 me, Will I1dke d Dell u WdIIlpullB
which shall be for perpetual token
to bind the tribes together"
So Hiawatha gathered up as many
shells as he could carry and crossing
the dry bed of the lake came to one
of the Mohawk villages, where he
rested while he made the wampum
belt. When he had completed it, he
called the head men of the five tribes
together, told them the story of the
marvellous flight of wild ducks,
showed them the belt made of the
shells from the bed of the lake, and
made a strongs plea that they
live together thereafter without
wars.
The chief men of the tribes thought
it over and came to the conclusion that
Hiawatha's peace plan was not such
a bad idea after all, and that such
marvellous occurrence as that of
flock of wild ducks drinking up lake
ought really to be commemmo-
rated in some permanent and fttins
manner.
So they accepted the wampum bees
as a symbol of confederacy ana
promised to keep it and the
peace among themselves for ever
This was the first, original peace
congress, and far antedated the one
held few years ago at The Hague,
and though the Five Nations subse-
quently went to war with pretty
nearly everybody who came handy,
they never again fought among them
selves.
At Albany is still preserved the
great wampum belt of the Five
Nations which is supposed 70
be the very one that Hiawatha
made from the shells of the
lake.

! Day Up would start my light up by
accident and pop! out would come the
sun in the middle of the night.
This was very bad indeed; and an
old lady in Hoboken, n. J., who had
seven hens and a rooster, complained
so hard that it spoiled her hens for
| laying to be awakened that way in
| the middle of tine night that we gave
it up. The Man Who Winds the Day
| Up objected very much. You see, it
was quite an easy job for him as long
as ne merely had to press a button to
start the machinery instead of going
so lazy after awhile that he never
climbed out of bed at all, and merely
awoke long enough to push the but
ton. Once he forgot it altogether, and
the day didn't run at ALL"
What did you do, them" asked
Lucy.

said the Man, and l noticed that it
didn't turn. So l hurried to the but

was a few hours late, and if you will
ask the Oldest Inhabitants down be-
low, he will tell you of the Long Day

Paints the Grass Green, who had been
| doing it with a cunning little steam
pump that squirted the green paint
over mountain and valley through a
hose, so that all he had to do was to
sit still and point the nozzle the right
way, had to go back to his old-fash-
toned paint brush. 1t was a good
thing, too, for the hose used to squirt
so hard that now and then he would
paint the grass green in the streets
of the cities: and there is nothing that
makes a big city madden than to see
grass grow in it's streets.

Even the town beadle went at it, and
he was heard to say afterward that
it was the hardest days work that he
had ever done. Most of the people,
after trying it for a day or two, de-
cided that they did not care to be a
prime minister anyway, and they re-
verified TO their more simple occupa-

which did not give them a headache

The Turkish Idea OF Tropbie..

In Turkey it is considered no honor
to be photographed by the side of
a heap Of small game that has been
killed, as the huntsmen do in this
country. A Turk would consider that
frivolous.
In the officers quarters of Turk
ish garrison the walls are covered
with gruesome photographs. After
a battle with Albanians or Macedo-
MAN insurgents, the bodies of the dead
are decapitated and the heads are set
out in rows. The officers pose behind
them. and the groups are then pho
tographed.
A young Turkish officer who has
no photograph of himself in such a
group to hang up on the walls of his
quarters feels that he has still TO prove
his manhood.

TIA ra! Ia RAJ" went the trumpet
of the herald.
In your town. if you heard it, you
would pay little attention to it, be-
cause you would probably suppose
that it was only fisherman peddling
his wares. But in the particular time
at the particular place of which this
particular story particularly tells,
everybody knew that the "Ta ra! Ia
RAJ" did not mean fresh whitefish, but
that it meant that royal herald was
about to make a proclamation. SO
everybody dropped his and her work
(which is something that everybody
is always ready to do even now and
hurried out TO hear.
The herald was found standing by
the side of a great square. And under
II were grouped great number of
smaller squares and other designs of

as in the case of other insects, by a
row OF small air holes along each side
of the body.
They feed so greedily that after a
while the skin of their bodies becomes
too tight to contain any more food.
When this happens, the caterpillars
pause, actually turn pale and seem to
suffer an attack of Indigestion; but
they soon relieve themselves by bend
ing up their backs and swelling out
their rings. Crack goes the tight
skin and 1t is split all along down the
back.
Drawing out first the head and then
the tall. the caterpillars come out as
new creatures, fresh and bright in
color with every joint and hair ac-
counted for and in place; and straight
way they begin gorging again.
The caterpillars of the tortoise-shell
butterfly go through the performance
no less than five separate times before
they arrive at the most important of
all their transforma ton, which is to
change them into butterflies.
For the sixth and last time the cat
erpillar stops eating and, finding a
convenient spot makes there a little

with his hind feet while he let's go all

body-covering back to the tail, from
which it drops at last.
A curious fellow he is now, well
worth careful observation, for the
whole future butterfly can be dimly
seen in its protecting sheath. his
wings as yet small, his antennae, his
sucking tube or trunk and all of his
six legs.

Hear We! Hear yet" cried the
herald. our great King Eye hath
wagered with his neighbor, King
Brain, that he can deceive him. And
he hath made these squares and hath
asked King Brain to say If they could
be made to fit into the large square.
And King Brain sayeth that they
cannot
Thus hath our great ruler. King
Eye, deceived the wise King Brain.
For they can be fitted in. And now
King Eye desires all his subjects to
try to place all the cut-out pieces into
the large square In such a manner
that they will not overlap.
The black squares must not touch
each other in the completed design.
They must be bounded by white
squares orr. half squares. The one
who succeeds best shall be his prime
