To Initiate a Rooster.

The natural history class had just

boys about various animals. Although
she made her little talk as entertaining
as possible, she noticed that some
members of the class were not paying

vive their tagging interest, the teacher
said: Now, boys, I want every one to

NAL. | will give you two minutes to
choose your animals, and then we'll
see how well you can do il"
The two minutes being up, the room
was filed with sounds seldom heard
outside a menagerie. Squealing of
pigs, barking dogs, braying of donkeys,
roaring of lions, twittering of birds and
mewIng of cats issued from every cor
ner. The children seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely, with one ex-
ception. Johnny Small sat in utter ST.
lence. Teacher noticed his closed
mouth, so when the noise had some

The BUSY Bee,

When you eat spoonful of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount of work and travel necessary
to produce it. To make one pound of
clover honey bees must deprive g.
600 clover blossoms of their nectar,
and to do this requires 2,750,0OO visits
to the blossoms by the bees.
In other words, one bee to collect
nectar to make one pound of honey
must go from hive to flower and back
2,750,000 times. Then when you think
how far these bees sometimes fly in
search of these clover fields, oftener
than not one or two miles from the
hive you will begin to get small idea
of the number of miles one Of the in
dustrious little creatures must travel
in order that you may have the pound
of honey that gives them so much
trouble.
1t may also help you to understand
why the bee is unamiable enough to
sting you if you get in its way. When
one has to work so hard to accomplish
so little, it is quite irritating to be
interfered with.-Philadelphia Record.

DR., Martins Helpers.

'The only way you can help is by
keeping very quiet" said DR.. Martin
to the little group of boys and girls
waiting to hear how Miss Edith was
that morning. "She doesn't need bou-
quets now, and you must not ring the
door-bell to ask how she is, but just
keep as still as mice. If she is kept
quiet few days, think she will soon
be WE'LL
Then the busy Doctor drove away
down the street. There were a great
many sick people just then, and he
had little time to talk to any one who
was well. The children whispered
about Miss Edith though they were a
whole block away from her house, and
were sorry they could not see her. On
Sundays it seemed very strange to have
new teacher in the classroom, and,
though Miss Mary did her best for the
children, they all missed their dear
teacher.

ed over the paved street. Il wish the

Il wish they all had carpet over

do much good for us to whisper when

"Hur-!" began Tom, and then he
clapped both hands over his mouth.

ly. Let's get lot of that grass Mr..
Richards wanted taken away from his
lawn and spread it on the streets 1t

They all wanted to shout "Hurrah!"
at that, but they remembered what
the Doctor had said, and scurried away
like mice for their little wagons and
wheelbarrows in the neighborhood.
Very soon there was thick, soft grass
carpet in front of Miss Edith's house,
and the children were working like
beavers up and down the street. The
hoofs did not make great noise after
that, and even the heavy wheels moved
softly over the grass.
Here! What are you youngsters
doing, scattering straw up and down
the street," said a gruff voice, and
there stood a big policeman all shin

When the policeman took big
wheelbarrow and carted several loads

said he could wheel as much as dozen
wagons could carry, and the task was

morning and was much surprised
to find the street so quiet, until he saw
