THE OLDEST DOLL.

Long. long ago. when William Penn
sailed from England on his second visit
to America. what do you think he
brought with him on the good ship Can
terbu-y? An English doll. This pas
senEer is the only survivor OF that vOy-
age across the Atlantic, which was
made over 200 years ago.
William Penn had a little daughter
named Letitia. Letitia heard her father
tell wonderful tales OF what he saw and
heard In Pennsylvania on his first visit
to this country. thousands of miles dis
tant from Letitias home. He often told
her about li;tle Miss Rankin. who. hv-
ing as she did in the wilderness of
Pennsylvania Cfor this was long ago
remember). had no toys at all. not even
one rag doll. When Letitia'S father was
getting ready again TO cross the ocean
70 America, his little girl Insisted upon
sending q doh TO that lonesome little
Rirl.
So "A doll was dressed in a court cos
tune OF striped and delicately tinted
brocade and velvet. The skirt was held
out by enormous hoops. for such was
the fashion of the welI-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 land. Her hair is
rolled back from her face. much in the
style ot TODAY.
This doll lives in Montgomery coun-
ty. Md in the Strictest seclusiOn. She
is ONLY removed from her careful wrap
pings when little girls desire the honor
OF making the acquaintance OF the old
est doll in America--Inter Ocean.

until they Were all gene.
Mink-boy and Raven-boy cut up the
whale and then built them a hut to
live in
Pet US have a party" said Raven
boy. Go and invite the sea people 10
come"
Mink-boy did so. and soon the beach
was alive with seals crawling out Of
the water on their way to the feast.
When they We're all assembled Raven
boy set out whale meat and blubber
and invited them 20 fall TO.
At this the seals all pushed their
noses up on top Of their heads and be-
came men-the very same men who had
been scared away from the whale by
RaVen-bOy.
They all laughed heartily. and the
seal meat and blubber was divided be-
tween Raven-boy. Mnk-boy and their
guests. so that each had a store for
the winter.
RaVen-boy thought that he and Mink
/ boy ought TO have double portions be-
! cause they cut UP the whale But the
Seal-men said: NO, Mink-boy could
/ have a double portion, but not Raven
/ boy. Raven-boy had beenN too impu-
| dent in trying to scare them away. and
/ IL would serve him right If he did not

DEAREST DOROTHY.

''I'Il just get Il teeny ween bit on my
finger" said Dearest Dorothy all to her
self Just the teeniest bit. enough to
lick
And so she stood on tiptoe and
stretched up her fat, short arm, and
stretched out her fat little forefnger OF
her fat right hand and stuck IL as boldly
as you please into the golden yellow
crust of Darling Mothers very best and
very biggest pumpkin pie. she did. In
deed And this was Dearest Dorothy,
remember
And then she pulled her fat arm back
and settled down from her tip-toes again
and looked at her fat forefnser, and
there at the tip end OF IL was nice but
very naughty lot of sweet golden-yellow,
and that was crust and pumpkin and
sugar all from Darling Mothers best
pie.
And so Dearest Dorothy started TO
lick that nice mess from that fat finger
and then all at once she stopped short
and said TO herself:
Naughty, naughty Dorothy
And the very red bad little tongue that
had already come out slyly TO lick tina
finger. got good all at once and went
back again and Dearest Dorothy trotted
up the stairs holding the wicked finger
straight in front of her.
But they were terribly long stairs and
the wicked finger did truly look as II
| the mess on il would be most awfully
good and so the tongue came out, just
"a little, little ways, and the nngel
started TO meet IT. But Dearest Dor
| othy wrinkled up her eyebrows and
/ clinched her other fist and the naughty
I Tongue went back like shot, you may
| Just believe, and the wicked finger went
| back where II belonged, sticking straight
| out in front.
And thus Dearest Dorothy marched
{ into Darling Mothers room and showed
and told lust what a most extremely
wrong thing had happened. And Oar
J ling Mother made believe to frown, on
/ terribly. And she had 10 smile, all th'
/ same.

A QUEER WAY TO CATCH BIRDS.

i saw what certainly seems TO me
the Queerest way to catch birds when
was in Siwanganga. in India. last year.
said traveller "A native sat behind
bushes in which were concealed a num-
Der Of nets. one smaller than the other.
aud the smallest one hung with snOods
Of hOrsehair. The man was initiating
bird calls and doing 1t very well indeed
SO well that the birds were fiuttering
from all points TO see what was going
on.
But. good as his limitations were,
they We're not good enough to lure the
birds into the nets. They merely fitted
around just in front of the concealed
hunter. and 1 wondered what he would
TO. The answer came in the shape of
a zebu which appeared suddenly out
OF the bushes and headed straight to-
ward the birds. which in their haste
10 get out OF The way darted into the
bushes where the nets were spread.
Then l saw that the zebu was being
driven by another native, and they told
me that the animal often drove as many
as half a hundred birds into the net al
once.

lamp He entered. and was surprised
20 see a beautiful young woman string
there tending the lamp. The room was
clean and dry. the roof being supported
by the whales spine. while its ribs
formed the sides. From a tube which
extended the length of the whales back
bone oil was slowly dropping into the
lamp.
For four days Raven-5oy stayed In
the whale as the guest Of the inua.
and all the time he wondered what the
tube was which he saw running along
the roof, and from which the oil dripped
into the lamp. Every time the woman
left the room she told Rayen-bOy that
he must not touch the tube.
Al last however, he went TO the amp,
and. holding out his hand, caught "A
drop OF oil and licked II with his
tongue 1T tasted so sweet that he
caught some more. and finally. as the
OIL did not run fast enough Tor him, he
reached UP and tore piece out OF the
side OF the tube
At once there was a great rush Of
oil into the room the lamp was eXtin
giushed and the room itself began t'
rock violently. This continued for foul
dayE until RaVen-bOy WAS nearly deaf
from the bruises and the shaking.
Then the room ceased 20 be tosset
about and was still The whale wa,
dead. for RaveH-bOy had torn off
piece OF its backbonei The inua Heve
came back and the dead whale driftet
ashore "Or" said Raven-boy 70 him
