The teacher had been instructing
the class about the three kingdoms of
the universe, and to make it plain she
said, Everything in our schoolroom
belongs to one of the three kingdoms
our desks to the vegetable kingdom,
our states and pens to the mineral
kingdom, and little Alice" she added,
looking down at the child nearest her,
belongs to the animal kingdom"
Alice looked up quite resentfully, and

of heaven"

Care of the Veil.

"In this MarIl weather." said a

veil is as clean as her handkerchief or

Women should wear pale wells.
Then, when they become soiled, the
fact is patent She who wears dark

kept scrupulously clean it gives its
