then, holding the fork at an angle of
fortysfve degrees. place it very gently
upon the water, watching your oppor.
tunity to remove the support.
This may require a little practice,
but you will soon be able to succeed,
when you will see the water assume a
convex form on each side of the pin.
and as soon as the pin has replaced
enough of the water to counterbalance
Its weight it will float like a little boat.
This experiment may be made with
a needle. rs well as pin, 1t being
necessary only to place 1t upon the
water so carefully that the water can
not wet 1t. That may sound like an
inconsistency, but it is possible, never
theless, to so lay the pin or the needle
upon the water that 1t shall not be
made wet.
If you find the experiment with the
fork only partially successful, try this
simpler method: Lay a sheet of ciga-
rette paper evenly upon the water, and
upon the paper place needle or pin.

a ouestion 81 Politene,s.

No one hns right to enter another
persons room without knocking for
permission, no matter how close and
intimate the relations between them
may be. Every human being has a
right to privacy when he or she de
sires IT, and both courtesy and common
sense forbid an intrusion. Whether.
you are boy or girl. you should
not enter the room of father. mother.
brother or sister without knocking or
asking permission. The strict observ-
ance OF this little rule not only enables
the members of the family to have prI-
vacy when they desire il. but it estat-'
fishes and fosters high standard OF
politeness that will be sure to result in
elevating the character OF the entire
family circle. 1t is great mistake
to think that courtesy and pollteness. Isl.
even little things. should be shown only
to strangers. The family circle, is the
place above all others for them. Chill

MAN IN THE PANsY.

He Wears Yellow Shawl and Keeps
His Feet In a Tub.
The little sister came in from the
garden, her hands full of flowers, and
begged her mamma for story-''a
brand new one. mamma"-so mamma
tried to think of new story, while the
little sister kept very still. At last
mamma caught sight of pansy among
the little flowers the little sister held,
and this is what she told the little sis
ter:
In the middle of every pansy there
lives a little old man He must be
very cold little man, too. for he is Ill
ways wrapped in little yellow blnn-
ket and even then has to have an extra
covering OF velvet pansy leaves to keep
him warm. And he sits In the flower
with only his bead uncovered, so that
ne can see the world.
"But the queerest thing about this
little old man Is that he always keeps
his feet In foot tub-such a funny
little tub, too-so long and narrow that
you wonder how he manages to get his
feet in it. he. does, though, for when
you pull the tub of there you viii dis
cover his two. tiny feet Just as real Us
can be-
The next time you pick a pansy see
II you can find the man and his little
foot tub.
