IN CHINA.

If you boys and girls had been born on
the other side of the world, in China, you
would have done lots of things exactly OPP
posite to the way you now do them. For
instance:
You would go to bed when you are getting
up. and vice versa. Your dinner would be-
gin with dessert and would end with soup
0ou think that's a better way, do you?)
The men fly kites. while the small boy
looks on. When a Chinese boy wishes to be
respectful or polite he leaves his hat on
instead Of taking it off mother tries to
have you do. Your family name would be
Smith john instead of John Smith, as you
are in America
Chinese sailors say the wind is westnorth
or eastrorth instead of northeast and
southeast, as ours do. Soldiers, in Chl!a
wear quilted silk petticoats. satin boots
bead necklaces and carry rams and umbrel-
las. What do you think of that. boys?
When a horse is to be mounted for
canter, a Chinese boy mounts from the
right side. instead of the left. as we do.
If you went calling with your father in
c. ina, instead of the little pasteboard that
he has engraved with his name he would
take visiting card four feet long and
painted red.
School children sit with their backs to the
teacher, and study aloud Men wear long

A transform AT CAMP.
RY FLORENCE BROCK


The Birch grandchildren were all in the
yard at camp watching a storm come up
over the lake They had been nearly
week In camp. and not a single rainstorm
had driven them to their tents; but Grand
father Birch had organized a water
brigade"
Betty and Helen were the "chief scam
perers" AS soon as the first drop OF rain
came down the two were to race Tor the
big tent as fast as they could go. and the
one who got there first was to be the high
chief scamperer" The scamperers were
10 stay In the tent and guard it until the
rest came there also. The chief brave IN
each tent was to fasten down his own tent
seCurely-tying the front and back en-
frances. and tying down the fly. or lower
skirt OF the tent fast to the tent pegs. The
other members of the brigade We're to be
grand furnitur. hustlers" All the chairs
and hammOcks, books. pillows. etc, were
t. be rushed under cover by this important
part of the brigade
The Birch tribe had had so much fun
practiCing In the brigade that they were
really anxious for a storm to come: and so
when the lake grew black and the tips of
the waves grew white. and there came
rumble of thunder in the air, the brigade
was all ready for action. The first big drops
came splaShing down. Grandfather gave
snap OF his fingers. and off went Betty and
Helen like simultaneous pistol shots their
little bare feet fairly flying over the pine
needles. The rest of the brigade were too
busy to watch them In five minutes the
yard was desert ed the tents were made
water tight, and the tribe was assembled
GREATNESS but happy, In the big tent
The thunder was rumbling outSide-and
II the children had been at home 1t might
have occurred to them to be afraid-but
the big outdoors had come to seem like a

place transformed. She did not mourn
very much for Bluebeard. but filled her
home with gay guests. AS she was very
young and very beautiful and very rich.
She had many admirers. though naturally
she, IN no haste to marry again.
1t CHANGED one day that a noble sutton
came riding from the north. He was tall
and sinewy. with bright blue eyes and
a handsome smooth face. and as he gaZed
at Fatima he straightway fell In love
with her.
Fatima knew that she. too. was falling
in love with the stranger, and the sensa-
tion was odd one, for even In his softer
moments Bluebeard had never inspired
real affection. For many nights Fatima
had the most beautiful dreams. but once
she awoke with "A start She thought she
heard Bluebeard's terrible voice. which
rumbled like thunder and he said:
LET him who dares to take my wife
seek first the Blue Chamber"
All the next day those words kept ring
ing in her ears, and when her lover came,
demanding an answer to his suit. she told
him of her dream.
This afternoon. then. sweet Fatima.
he said will we seek the secret chamber;
dead men do not taunt me. and will find
1t before l sleep tonight"
So in the afternoon. accompanied by his
betrothed. and followed by the two faith
full brothers and Sister Anne, the deter
mined youth set out upon his quest. Up

THE SECRET CHAMBER.
BY BELLE MOSES.

After the sudden death Of Bluebeard.
Mrs Biuebeard had nerves" She had
passed through a trying ordeal. and FOR
the srort while that her own life had
hung by a thread she felt that she had
lived through many years. When the ex-
Cttement attending the funeral of Blue
beard and his wives had died away. Sister
Anne carried the young widow to the sea-
shore. and the thoughtful brothers saw
10 the overhauling of the mansion. which
had been the scene of so much tragedy
Strange to say, when they sought the
Blue Room behind the doors Of which
Blucbeard had hidden his dreadful deeds
like the small boy in the ballad. ut wasn't
there at all"
In Arrangement they rubbed their eyes,
and then began a search from the founda-
tons Of the mansion to the turrets which
crowned II. But in vain, the Blue Room
had vanished so completely that though
these brave men had fought and bled to
save their sister. they began to doubt that
there was such a chamber at all.
When Fatlma returned she found the

the place. and a shudder ran through all
who looked within.
"Oh, do not go down. cried Fatima to
her lover, DO not pass that dreadful face
of my dead husband. and that blue light
you will never come back to me-.
Give me the key" he replied: your
husband may have been terrible in life but
1 do not know fear.
But see how the eyes Of the image gilt
ter. and the blue light comes from hts
beard
Give me the key" he repeated. holding
out his hand.
The poor lady tremblingly obeyed him
and 1t lay for a moment on his broad
palm. while he turned it over and over. as
if in thought. Then of sudden he hurled
1t with all his great strength full In the
face of the hateful image. The key was
heavy, and the aim true, for the pedestal
tottered and fell with a dull crash. and
gradually a beautiful yellow light chased
away the shadows. Bluebeards image lay
crumbled into dust. The walls of the Sc
cret chamber grew thinner and thinner,
and bits of the blue sky peeped through
nterlacing branches.
The dreaded spot became a bower where
birds nestled. and great golden butterflies
sailed in the amber air. Here the very
next day the happy pair were married. and
from that time until this nothing more
was seen of the key which had wrought
such mischief.

safe home to them. and they were not afraid
of what might happen in their sky roof.
For few moments they all sat listening
to the drip drip of the rain the tent
floor Then grandfather asked: "Well.
scamperers, who got in first?'
Betty looked up with a giggle: "Helens
feet got here before mine, but my hands
got here before hers
Then you'll both have to be high chief
scamperers," laughed grandfather.
Yes. both" said Betty and Helen to-
gether, hugging each other delightedly.
All day long the children played games,
and Aunt Martha read stories from books
that she had hidden for the very purpose.
In the afternoon they made a newspaper.
Howard was editor-in chief. Charlotte was
editor of the womans page, George was
printer, the four little ones were office boys
and girls. Josephine was poet and the rest
news reporters. When the Birch Leaf was
all written and read 1t was sent to Brother
Henry. a soldier And so ended the first
rainy day at Camp Birch.

QUEER WAY OF TELLING TIME

In Malay the natives kept a record Of
time in the following way:
Floating in a bucket filed with water.
they placed cocoanut shell having a small
-perforation through which by slow degrees
the water found It's way inside. This OPEN
ing was so proportioned that 1t took just
one hour for the shell to fill and sink.
Then Waterman called out; the shell was
emptied and they began again.
Such trihes as minutes and seconds were
not needed on the peninsula. Fancy any
one asking the time in Malay and being
told that the cocoanut shell was half full!
There was yonng girl of Malay
W no inquired the time OF the day.
Said the Waterman Well, well,
By my cocoanut she'll,

Say, what's fellow going to do
When folks misunderstood:
He doesn't have lot of words
To 'splain things right Ofhand-
And, then, he'd never. never think

So he just has to take the blame
And not make any bother.
Now. only just the other day
When / out walking,
l heard my little yellow birds
Set up dreadful squaW king.
I'd watched those birds and called em mine,
Since they came north in spring
I'd found em bits to build their nest
And hid to hear EN- sing.
And this morning just ragged
When l found Bobby Stout
Had robbed the nest of all the eggs
And scared the big birds out

Then what Il time had,
He put them careful the grass
And then both pitched in

But one knows Of that,
For Parson Allen came just as
ON Bobby square l sat.
You should have heard the sermon then
He gave to Bob and me
And cause the one on top,
He Jawed me specially.
Bob took the eggs and scampered of.
The parson went with me,
He told-and l went strnight to bed,
The parson stayed to tea
So what's fellow going to do?

A BIRD THAT CANNOT. FLY.

Who knows Of a bird that cannot fly?
Even a tame goose can fly, though veg
awkwardy. But l know Of one. the aux,
who cannot fly at all. for his wings are too
short, and the poor fellows legs are
short and are set SO far apart that he can
hardly walk. How, then. does he get about
and find his food? An old Irish sailor
nine years ago explained that ''all their
broad, webbed feet are good oars, and their
short wings are useful paddles. They get
over the ground by swimmin', which is the
best way for thin. seem tn ground where
they live is mostly wather.''

If you have an enemy. and he Is a
