Giant Among Horses.-A horse has been found in
France which is twenty hands (nearly feet)
hight The height of the average horse is only six
teen hands. This French wonder is we'll proportional
for his height, and remarkably spry. He can do as
much work two ordinary horses.
Age of Animals.-A dove lived twenty-five
years in cage. Carp said to live hundreds of
years. and pike also very hardy old fellows
There some insects that live but few hours
Some live but day, and all Of them short lived
The wild beast do not live long, but elephants

THE STORY OF INDOOR SUN.

Once on a time, in far Japan,
There lived a busy little man
So merry and so full of fun
That people called him Indoor Sun.
Now Indoor Sun made mirrors fine,
Like those in your house and in mine,
And in these looking glasses bright
His own face saw from morn till night
1t made him feel so very sad
To see his face look cross and bad,
That he began to take great care
To keep sweet smile always there.
And soon he found that those he knew,
All seemed to like him better, too;
For, like the mirrors, every one
Began TO smile on Indoor Sun!
Now try this just one day and see
How bright and smiling you can be;
You'll find both happiness and fun
In playing you're an "in-door SUM"

THE FIRST FORKS

The Greeks and Romans, with all their luxury ate
with their fingers. They had large forks for hay and
for taking meats from kettles but they never dreamed
of having small for table use. These are the
only forms of forks known to have been in use be-
fore the fifteenth century Sometime during that
epoch the Italians began the practice now common
to all civilized people among the Western nations of
eating with forEs.-From D. ". Horre1ps "Forks" in

DERIVATION OF FORK.

The fork takes its name from the Latin furca, a
yoke looking like inverted V. From this the
Italian forca and forchetta (ittle fork The latter
word gives the French their fourchette, while the
English go back to the former and retain the harder
sounding "fork."-From ID. N. MorreIPS "ForkS," in

FAIRY-FOLK.

To see how fairies really look
you have to watch so sharp and still.
So says my mammals Fairy book)
l squint my eyes tiny space
And then L see them-one by one
Come trooping in from Fairyland
With funny little hop and run.
They nod and whisper to themselves
Then scamper off across the floor
As if they'd never seen
little boy like me before
Yet if you ask me how they look
Somehow L cannot seem to tell;
For pretty soon they've slipped away
And then L hear the breakfast bell.
