The Prince was dismayed. and knew not what to do. until he bethought him of his talismans. Then he got them out of his bag-the feather. the hair and the scaie-threw them on the ground. and cried Help. helpt"
 Instantly the Stag, the Dolphin and the Eagle appeared before him and said. What do you want"
 Help me rescue this Princess from the dragon" said Titone.
 So the Eagle screamed aloud and called all the vultures to him, and these. at his command, flew to the window, and seizing the Princess in their powerful talons, carried her to the Prince and his three brothers
 While Titone was embracing her, and claiming her promise to become his bride. the dragon awoke. and sec ing Titone. rushed forth to kill him.
 But the Stag Prince instantly sum moned great number of bloodthirsty lions and tigers and lsguars. which flew at the dragon and tore him into a thousand pieces.
 Then the Dolphin Prince went to spring and caused 1t to flew. so fast that soon lake formed and spread and rose until it covered the tower and hid 1t from the eyes of the Prin- cess. so that she might never have to see it again.
 The Princess was about to thank the three beasts for regcuing her when, to her amazement and Titon's, instead of the three beasts, they sud denly perceived three handsome young men, whose faces fairly beamed with joy as they embraced their brother in-law and his promised bride.
 Thanks to you, dear Princess" said the elder of the three, i've owe our rescue to you. The only hope of our ever regaining mortal form lay in the chance of our rescuing some daughter of a king from some great danger. The chance has come through you, and now we live againi''
 ''Oh, cannot you fetch my other sis- ters and come with us to my father and motherT asked Titone. Think how happy they will be!'
 So 1t was done. and in shorter time than any one dreamed 1t could be done joy and hope lent wings to love. And when the three 1ong-lost daughters and their handsome husbands and Tftone and his promised bride all ap- peared before the King and Queen, you can imagine their joy.
 Then, of course, the three husbands hasteped to Velprato to their long-sor- rowing father, who received them with great joy, and gave them a feast such as never had been known before in the kingdom.

Thus he met the third Princess, and she recog mixed him by his ring Here, too. he found a friendly brother-in-iaw in the Dolphin Prince, and he paid a visit of several weeks. But, remembering how anxious his parents must be, he only tarried a. couple of weeks before preparing to return to his home.

NCE there were three Prin-
 cesses, each more lovely than
 N her sister. This sounds incon- true, for they were so very different from one another that each in her own way was indeed lovelier than her
 Now, in the neighboring Kingdom of Veiprato were three Princes. sons of the King, who fell deeply in love with the three beautiful Princesses and obtained the promise of their
 But just before the day set for the triple wedding they had the nisfor- tune, tune to incur .ds the .S wrath of an evil -one into an eagle, one Into a stag and the third into dolphin.
 Naturally enough, the father of the Princesses refused to give them in mar riage to the three beasts. But the three Princes were determined not to lose their brides.
 So the Eagle-Prince called upon all they the es responded or I by by ii the 'u shonsands. % % Sparrows and swallows and thrushes and many other kinds of birds came to his side, and at his command they plucked every leaf and every blossom in the Kingdom.
 The Stag -Prince called upon all the four-footed beasts--the donkeys and horses, and pigs and cows. and rab- bits and goats, and many others-and they came in great numbers, and at his command they destroyed every blade and every root that was worth eatiag.
 The Dolphin-Pr called upon all the huge Iishes of the sea, and at his command they raised terrible storm that hammered all of the ships on the coast to pieces.
 Then the King, thoroughly alarmed, gave in, and bade his three daughters go with the three beast-princes as their brides. The Queen-mother shed many tears as she bade them fare- well. and gave each daughter a ring. with this injunction: Preserve this ring with Care, and always wear 1t. If you are separated even tho many years pass by, you will know each other by your rings, and so also wiii any of your kinsfolk recognize you"
 Then the beast-princes carried away their brides. the Eagle-P Prince took his to great mountain high above earth, where he gave her a beautiful palace, and she lived like a queen; the Stag Prince took his into a deep, dark wood, and gave her a most lovely house.. surrounded by exquisite grounds: the Dolphin Prince, who had the youngest sister for his bride, car- ried her to great rock. where he

GOOD ANIMAL
 STORIES
Taught by an Insect.

R RUNEI4. the famous engineer, was
 indebted to an Insect for a great and useful invention. He was in ship yard one day, watching the movements of an insect known In English as the naval woodworms when. q brilliant thought suddenly occurred to him. He saw that this creature bored its way into piece of wood upon which it was operating by means of very extraordi- nary mechanical apparatus. s7F
 Looking at the animal attentively through 2 microscope, he found that it was covered In front with a pair of valvuiar shells; that with it's foot as a. purchase it Communicated rotary mos ton and 2 forward impulse to the valves, which, acting upon the, wood like ginlet, penetrated its Substance. and that as the particles of wood loos- ened they passed through "a Assure in the feet and thence through the body of the borer to it's mouth, where they were soon expelled.

 Many days passed by before Titone, half starved and weary, came at last to the deep. dark wood where the Stag-Prince and his Princess lived. Here, too. he was kindly received by the Princess living in the beautiful house, and when she questioned him, she recognized him by his ring, and fell on his neck with tears of joy. And when she introduced him to her husband. the Stag-Prince gave him warm welcome.
 After two or more weeks, Titone said he must resume his journeying and find the youngest Princess, too. So the Stag-Prince gave him hair from his own coat, which Titone was to guard carefully and use for calling the stag-Prince to his assistance. if necessary.
 Over plains and mountains. through woods and deserts he travelled, but no sign of his third sister did he find At last he reached the sea, and took ship, because he did not know what else to do.

The Largest LoaveS

TT HE largest loaves of bread baked in the world are those of France and Italy. The pipe" bread of Italy is baked in loaves two feet or three feet long, while in France the loaves are made in the shape of very long rolls four feet or five feet in length. and in many cases even six feet The bread of Paris is distributed almost exclusively by women, who go to the various bakehouses at 5 30 A M, and spend about an hour polishing up the loaves. After the loaves are thor oughly cleaned of dust and grit, the bread porter" proceeds on the round of her customers. Those who live in apartments or flats find their loaves leaning against the door.

An interesting experiment has been tried by a well-known naturalist. Hav- ing caught a number of bees as they returned to the hive laden with honey, he inclosed them in light receptacle, and weighed them, the weight of the same bees were again captured on emerging from the hive, and again placed on the delicate scale The result of the two operations showed that, when laden, the bees weighed three times as much as when empty.

Epitaphs on Old Graves

SOME MILITARY
GAMES

NN THE Fourth of July you will
 probably want some military games to play. Here are some
 for you to pick from.
 First, however, suggestion or two regarding the tables at which you seat the players for some of your games You might cover each one with a flag, or, if | plain. smooth surface is desired. you might set up a flag In the centre, keeping it upright by inserting it in block. And If you wish. station a toy cannon and an occasional giant fire cracker here and there to add to the military looks of things.
 Each table can be named after a fort Fort William Henry, Fort Ttconde- roga, etc., of Revolutionary times, or Fortress Monroe. Fort Sumter. etc, of Civil War days. Provide the players with flag scorecards (they are usually to be purchased in the shops), consist ing of a blue field without stars. Little gummed stars-forty-hve in numher-are given to each player.
 Now. the game is for each. player to see how many of his forty-five stars he can stick on in five minutes. At the end of that time ring & bell and let the players exchange cards and count. Then award a nice prize to the winner.
 Next you might have a card game on the Revolutionary War heroes and events. You can buy copies of such a game from any toy store-one for
