A VERY NATURAL QUESTION.

Margaret spent one summer abroad, WIS.,
ting many European cities. and going with
her father and mother to see things which
made the old world famous. What most i'm
pressed her were the tombs of the cele-
brated people-kings and queens princes
and princesses. lords and ladies. soldiers
and priests-and the strange thing about
these dead and buried heroes and heroines
was that almost every one of them had met
a violent end. Margaret was afraid to ask
how they died. for fear of hearing that 1t
was a case of poisoning, or stabbing, or
hanging or a sword thrust pistol shot,
or drowning. being burnt at the stake.
In Paris. OF course, most of the dead people
haU been beheaded. and Margarets little
curly. fiaXen locks would rise in horror at
the thought of it.
One day she was taken to visit Napoleon's
tomb, and the great soldiers last resting
place plunged her in deep and serious
thought.
Was he a nice man. papa?" she asked,
coming out of a brown study.
'Yes-that is-well-on the whole he wasn't
so very bad"
And he did lots didn't he?"
"Of Course-he led armies-and was made
consul OF France. and finally emperor. but
Waterloo finished him, and then"
Did he de-
'.Afterwards-but first they sent him to
st Helena"
What I meant was, did he die plain

SPECTACLES.

1t Is hard to realize what our ancestors
did without the help of spectacles Tho
first mention of them seems to be toward
the end of the thirteenth century. when
convex spectacles were invented-it is sup
posed-by Roger Bacon. Concave glasses
were introduced soon afterward, but the
Spectacle Makers Company OF London was
not Incorporated until 1880 1t seems that
the ancients knew nothing OF these aids to
vision; and 1t is more than likely that
Homer and even Milton might have been
spared their blindness had they understood
the use Of powerful lens. Eyeglasses came
in much later, when the spectaces were
wear; and lOrgnettes came even later, when
the great ladies wished an ornamental case
for their eyeglasses. The eyeglasses of to-
day fit on the nose with spring-formerly

and said his prayers: then he made
bow to the audience and the performance
was over. Beatrice had carried out her
part with grave earnestness. She COM
Scrap should do his part with credit to
them both.
The girls were wildly enthusiastic, and
when the last bow was made Beatrice was
carried in triumph to the reception ROOM
The girls crowded around her. and Scrap
came in for his share of attention In the
midst OF the congratulations Beatrice saw
a beautiful white-haired lady coming to-
ward her.
She was a guest of the college and the
girls made way for her at once.
. Dear" she said very softly to Beatrice.

promptly.
The lady kneeled down and put her arms
about the little girl
You are my dear sisters little grand
daughter" she said. Willis Arnold was
my fathers name. and your father is my
sisters only son." $50

were rich and he was proud, and when we
asked him for Willis he was angry and
our letters were never answered. But this
little one looks SO much like my sister. We
must go to your father at once, my
dear.
Beatrice did not need the money she and

OLD-FASHIONED GAMES.

Trucking the trencher-thts is an old
English game The children sit on the
floor or kneel In a ring. A person in the
center holds the trencher. or wooden plate.
and when all are ready he truckles, or
spins 1t. at the same time calling the name
Of some one in the ring. The named
must spring quickly and try to catch the
plate between both hands before 1t stops
spinning. II he succeeds, he takes the place
in the center. and the first trucker goes
in the ring. If he does not catch the plate
between both hands before it stops spin
ming, he pays forfeit and is counted out.
Then there is the play of "twos and
threes." The company is grouped In twos
and threes. usually only one odd one. and
the fun consisted in not being caught as
the third. This keeps each child looking
over her shoulder. for when two were be
hind the foremost must slip away and find
another place or be tapped.
After a stand-up game, a rather funny
game, where all the company may sit. is to
have one person chosen to call and the rest
to repeat: One good fat hen; two ducks;
three plump partridges; -FOUR squawking
wild geese; five felicitous oysters; six pairs
diers: eight cages Of heiogabulus paro-
Quets; nine sympathetic, apathetic didac-
tic propositions; eleven superstitious as
tronomers viewing Venus in Venice; twelve
European dancing masters teaching Egyp-
tan mummies to dance at Hercules we'd
ding. If any one laughs during this exer-.
else he must pay a forfeit. The one who
repeats most smoothly and solemnly must
be the caller out and begin the gibberish
over again.
