phrasing keys controlled by the per-
former enable him To secure all shad
ings OF expression and modulation. while

LORDS AND LADIES'"
A Pretty Flower That ls Common In
the Fields Of England

wonder how many times my little
friends have read these words: Con
s.aer the lilies" and then have done
as the great Teacher desired they
should do. over ! 800 years have
passed since He bade His listeners to
consider the lowly things made by
His Father. and all through that long
space Of time how few have been they
whu have really studied and loved
the wayside flowers.
Look at those broad spear-shaped
leaves of deep glossy green. from
which queer.shaped hoods of yell
lowish.green stand up Within
these hoods lies hidden one Of
the most marvellous OF our wild
flowers, the Cuckoo-Plnt. or LORDS
and Ladies'" OF the village boys and
girls Of England. The botanist speaks
of IL as the Arum.
In the center of the hood stands a
tall, purple finger which beckons to a
small fly, little creature whose tiny
wings are thlckly covered with hairs.

sends out a smell like that of bad
meat by which the fly is attracted as
fast as wings can beat to the open
hood. Entering, he passes down a
narrow passage soon coming to a
barrier of sharp bristles. the points OF
which bend downwards. Through
these he goes, and finds himself at
once In a spacious room along the
floor Of which is spread a fine feast
of honey. He has an excellent meal,
and thinking he will pay n visit to
his ladylove living a short way down
the lane, he climbs the walls of the
room, and enters the narrow passage,
but 10! he cannot pass out, for the
way is barred by the sharp ends of
the bristles he passed so easily when
he came in.
He tries again and again TO make
his way out, but without success, and
ut last goes down again into the room
below, where he INDUCES in another
feast Night comes on. and, snug and
warm, he dreams perhaps of the glori-

this time by the sun shining through
the green windows of his room. He
climbs again to the narrow passage,
and, strange to say, the sharp bristles
are no longer there. the way is clear
and out into the bright fresh May
morning he flies.
Resting on q grass blade overhang-
ing little pool he catches sight of his
reflection in the water. and nearly
tumbles in, so changed is he. From
wing-tip to wing-tip he is covered
with yellow dust. Soon he becomes
hungry again, and remembering
whence he obtained his last meal he
flies straight to the beckoning finger
of another plant. Passing into the
warm room, he brushes off the yellow
dust against the hairs which cover a
lot of little boxes that will one day
become first green, then red and in
which will lie the bright yellow seeds.

flowers look as they grow at the bot

of the flowers and removed q portion

arranged a number of small boxes

with the golden dust. Below these
boxes there is a ring of hairs which
protect another and larger ring of
boxes lower down, containing what
will some day be the seed, The little
plant desires that the yellow dust

AN ARTISTIC TOP.
Easily Made and viii Furnish Much
Entertainment.

This is such a simple and yet inter
esting little plaything that It deserves
to be much more widely known than
II is.
You know the little tops or "teeto-
tums' that you make by putting match
sticks In button molds, and spin with
your finger and thumb. This is pretty
much the same thing, only 1t is made
of lead. One of the little leaden disks
that dressmakers put in the edges of
ladies' jackets to keep them down is
very suitable for your purpose. Make
a hole In the center of II and put in
a pointed stick for II to spin on.
Then make two holes near the edge,
opposite each other. The holes can be
drilled easily with the point OF a pair
Of scissors. Through one Of these
holes put a stiff bristle from a paint
brush, or hat brush. and wedge It
tight with a bit OF match stick.
The object OF the other hole is sim
ply to balance the top, for in boring a
hole you scrape away some of the
lead, and If you did this on one side
