Tn. arixht side Of II.

Maggie's mind IL 30 organized that
recognizing trouble is, for her, next 10
impossible. Indeed, Mr.. Carter main
tains that If ever a cloud does contrive
to catch Maggie's attention, 1t straight
way turns itself inside out, the result
being that it exists for Maggie as d
silver lining only.
Maggie's sunniness was a distinctly
grateful feature Of the domestic atmos-
phere-foliowing two sour-visaged,
grumpy parlor maids. Indeed, 1t was
this quality that repeatedly saved her
from discharge, for neat, smiling, indus
trious little Maggie, alas, would break
things.
Maggie" she said, "this vase cost
forty dollars!"
1.-The saints forbid, ma'amw cried
poor Maggie, quite overcome.
"Yes! But shall court only half
that amount against yiu. dislike
dreadfully to do this, Maggie, but
must teach you to be careful SO I'm
godng to keep back dollar every week
from your wages until the twenty dol
lars are paid"
Tears-not wholly for the shattered
ornament-fowed freely, for a dollar
week Is formidable drain on some in
comes. Then Maggie was herself again.
Anyhow" she said, half-archly, as
her characteristic smile made its way
out, II do be thinkin' ma'am, that I'm
sure Of me nice job here wild you for
some tonne ahead!"

A DUTY 10 n. Plea.ant.

We are apt to think that our being
happy or unhappy Is something that
affects only ourselves. On the con-
trary, neither condition 10 ever abso-
iutely confined to the person who ex-
periences II. and. unfortunately, the
black edge Of ones unhappy moods
laps over on the lives of others. The
girl who comes down to breakfast
feeling blue Is apt to impart tinge
Of the same melancholy to every one
else before the meal Is over, and the
man or woman who Is absorbed In the
contemplation Of his or her own
troubles, real or fancied. is doing
something to add to the gloom Of a
world that is more lacking in sunshine
than It need be. No matter what ones
private feeling may be. one can al
ways make an effort to be pleasant for
the sake Of other peoples happiness.
While the opportunity OF doing some
great and noble thing may not often
occur. the simple but beautiful oppor-
tunity Of being pleasant Is always
present.

Playing In the attic on rainy April day,
When the trees are budding, and the
clouds are low and gray;
When the rain goes patter, patter, patter
overhead;
Toys are all so tiresome, and books have
all been read;
When the wind comes blowing In the
window fresh and cool:
Something's happened 80 you didn't have
to go to school;
Tell you, it's just splendid when mother
says l may

Lift out every tray, and find out what
there Is inside;
Put on grandma's hoop-skirt, and then
her wedding gown,
Stand before the broken glass and curtsey
up and down;
Smell the sweet old lavender In every
cedar chest;
Dodge the middle rafter, where the wasps
have made a nest;
Isn't anything, l guess, az pleasant ~ to
play
Up In our attic ON rainy April dayi !
There are lots Of letters, too, addressed
In faded ink;
Most Of them must be from beaux Of
grandmamma, think;
Then just piles and piles OF books, and
boxes full Of things;
Funny hair-cloth sofas, but they haven't
any springs;
Spinning wheels, and trundle beds, and
broken-legged chairs;

The Real Question.

The increase In suicide Is one OF the
alarming facts Of the time. Reaction
from the intense life which men are
living, the disappointment which often
follows the mad rush for wealth, and
the lessening, in many lives, Of the re-
straints of religious faith, are given as
some Of the more prominent causes.
TO meet men who are discouraged,
and comfort them, the Salvation Army
has established bureaus in several
cities, which report a measure Of sue
cess. Such success as they have had
teaches this lesson: that many men
and women in whom, in hours Of de-
preston, life seems not worth living,
are not in conditions Of permanent
hopelessness, but may be saved to hap
pier lives than, in their discourage
mcnt, seems possible.
A young man who had known a bit
ter disappointment. and to whom the
heavens seemed black and the earth
barren, went, in his despair, to a
friend. The friend was sure that, deep
and real as was the sorrow, there was
much left In life for the young man
and he talked with him so kindly, no
hopefully. 30 sternly, that the young
man rose in shame and gratitude, and
took up his work again.
ITO be or not to be, that IL the
question" modify quoted the young
man.
''No, that is not the question at all, !"
was the stern reply.
"What do you meanr
precisely this: that the question

ton we were not asked at the begin
ming and have no right to raise. We
cannot discuss 1t with knowledge either
Of the joys that remain or the duties
that are impending, nor yet the future

life for the cowardly shirking Of the
burdens Of this one.

strange Birds.


The following is from a naturalist
who has Travelled from this country
around the world:
For many years naturalists heard
reports of a mysterious bird which
made It's home In the solitudes sur
rounding the volcano Of Soufriere on
vt. Vincent, In the West Indies. The
natives had many superstitions con-
nected with it. one being that any one
seeing the bird would surely die, and
az a result they avoided Its haunts and
Il long remained the invisible mysteri-
Gus bird with the heavenly song
'sThe mystery was finally dissipated
In 1875, when Frederick A. Ober made
an expedition to the volcano, and after
considerable difficulty and danger from
big snakes managed to secure several
specimens. 1t developed that the bird
was a ventriloquist, which explains
why its song would often be heard and
still the bird not be seen in the spot
whence the sound seemed to pro
coed.
Certain live birds are put to curl
GUS uses. In the northern part OF
South America the natives often avail
themselves Of the services Of a species
OF crane to care for their poultry and
also use 1t in place Of a dog to herd
their domestic fowl. This remarkable
bird, which the Indians call yakamik
and the ornithologists posphia crepi.
tans, Is found in a wild state In the
great forests that lie between the
northern coasts Of South America and
tho Amazon. Their usual gait Is slow
and stately march, but they enliven
themselves from time to time by leap
ing up In the air, executing eccentric
and fancy waltzes and striking absurd
attitudes. When alarmed they utter
the peculiar cry which has obtained
for them the name OF trumpeter.
THE yakamiks are readily tanned
and prove valuable servants to the In
dams. They may be trusted with the
care OF flock OF sheep or domestic
fowls and every morning will drive
the ducks and poultry to their feeding
places and carefully collecting any
stragglers bring them safely home al
night."-Detroit News-Tribune.
