sharp nails when he didn't move fast
enough. To Door Toto that bridge
seemed like a mere thread, and the
distance he had to go more than 100
miles.
When his feat was accomplished
the giant announced:
Now We shall pay the old magician
a visit. He'll cut off your head and put
another one on"
Prince Toto pleaded and cried and
promised, but all in vain.
When they reached the cave of the
magician, the old man came out in re-
Spouse to the genie's call.
Eyes, indeed" said he, IT have lots
of boys heads left; and this little boy
is so naughty that he surely needs an
other one. l only give the very, very
bad boys new heads, you know"
Down on his knees Toto begged to
be allowed to keep his own head.
promising that never more would he
be naughty.
At last the magician listened to his
entreaties and let him go.
The genie led Toto back to his faith

whispered into the princes ear:
Nov, remember, if you should be-
come bad again I shall call for you
and take you to have your head cut
off,"
But Toto kept all his promises, and

change which had taken place in the
prince who was once so wicked.

wonderful thing. It almost realizes
the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish
that we might seq ourselves as others
see US. We can now, at least, hear
ourselves, a thing impossible before.
The phonograph teaches us many val
liable lessons. When I was in the
army, before I realized the capabilities
Of my voice, I played the flute. A
monograph salesman brought a
monograph to my quarters and tried
to sell it to me on the instalment plan.
I was undecided. Finally the man
took out a blank cylinder.
"'See,' he said, rather reluctantly,
here is a blank cylinder. You may
make a record on it, then we will run
it of and you shall hear yourself. It's
a costly favor l am doing you, but it
will show you what a fine instrument
this 1s.'
II was delighted.
"'Ill get my hute,' I said. I'll play
a flute solo,
"Well, I played my best into the ma
chine. It seemed to me that I had
never combined before such feeling
with such accuracy. l was more than
pleased with myself. Then the man
put in the cylinder, and the music be-
gan to issue forth. I frowned.
"rIs that me?' I said.
"'Yes, SIR said the man.
"'Really me, just as I played?'
"~'Precisely, sir, precisely. And
now,' said he, do you want to buy the
monograph?
"'No,' said I; 7 want to sell the

Stretching Rinus.

A jeweler in Third avenue, New
York city, advertises wedding rings
purchased here will be stretched to
any size without extra cost" His en-.
terprise is based on a knowledge of
human frailty. "The girl often hap
pens to balk," he says, "and the fel-
low gets it in the neck. The ring for
that intended may not fit the finger of
the next intended; so I stretch it for
nothing. I have stretched rings as
many as five times for n man."
Why not use rubber rings?

The Sinful Human Heart.

A clergyman was addressing a
youthful class in Sunday school. To
illustrate the idea Of regulating the
sinful human heart he took out his
watch and held it up that all might

"See this WATCH" he said. "Just
imagine that it does not keep good
time-that it goes all ways but the
right way. What ought l to do with
it,"
Instantly a little boy held up his
hand.

One of the most interesting string
mysteris is the marvellous ring trick"
Having tied the ends of your string
together, pass it double through a fin
ger-ring, and ask some one to hold the
ends upon their two forefngers. You
may now proceed to remove the ring
without cutting the string or releasing
the fingers, which seem to hold it Sc
curely.
First pass the string a second time
around one of the fingers which hold
it, then drawing the loop thus formed
toward the opposite hand as shown in
the figure, pass it over the string on
the other finger until it lies in the po-
sition of dotted line b; then with your
two foretingers catch up at a and a one
