THE TRUE STORY OF THE HERO TAD.
 POLE"

MOT that he was really and truly
 M a tadpole. Oh. dear. mol He was well-srown frog. and . wise and learned one besides. In- deed. If he had not known quite 70 many things perhaps he would not have received the name of "The Tadpole."
 Some time ago a stranger came into the quiet little pool. sheltered from tho swirling eddies of the main stream by a sharp bend He was a quiet. unas- suming frog. When pressed, however. he could tell strange and exciting tales of the pools from which he had wan dered. There. he said. were immense fishes, who greedily ate all their young CT brethren, and there. too. Man. . queer kind of animal that lived entire- ly out of water. would come and draw both fish and frogs out of the pooh with sharp. bent thing called hook.
 These stories the frog would relate when asked why he was so careful and cautious. And. although his neighbors told him there could not be the sligftest danger. except for the very smallest of the fishes, he still was cautious. so that finally, in ridicuie. he was nicknamed The Tadpole."
 To be called "The Tadpole' hurt the

counseled the fish to swallow no more of the worms. which, he said, were merely used by man tQ catch them. His warnings were unheededs for what harm could there be fin talk ing such a tempting uorsel. especially when placed right before y1uI go: 70 to fill rapidly, as fish after fish was caught upon the hoo.S
 Meanwhile the frog had swan to the surface and seated himself quietly near the bank, -fhere he could watch all that happened. He tried oyer ana over again to think of some plan for saving his comrades. If they were to be rescued at all, 1t were high time that he should act. for the man had almost filled the basket with fine fel- lows and would soon be on his way home.
 At last the IroR had ar idea. He saw that the cord attached to the basket dangled in the water Seizing one end of a strong vine in his mouth he dived with 1t through the looped cord. Then, summoning the largest fish who yet remained uncaught, he bade them pull together on both ends of the vine.
 Just as the man arose to stow away his tackle. the fish succeeded, with c last strong pull, in jerking the basket into the wa5er. What the man said was decidedly different from what the fishes said to the wise frog when they were freed from their wicker prison.
 "'rhe Tadpole" lost his nickname, and was ever after revered as the wisest of frogs. As for the fisherman, although he often tried his luck in that pool aftsrwaTd. his catches were few, for all but the very indiscreet fishes prohtsd by the learned frogs advice. and carefully investigated all queer-lookfng worms.

Well, go, if thou dost value not at all thy scurvy hide. But if thou re- turnest without the thief. woe betide thee"
 Waving his hand in dismissal, his Majesty relapsed into moody silence.
 Harold secured the services of two sturdy yeomen. These he took with him some distance into the forest Then he called a halt, and. bidding them stretch a rope across the roadway, stationed one at each end, telling them to hide behind opposite trees. Further caution ing them to allow the rope to lie on the ground and to raise IL only at his command, he resumed his way Into the forest, blithely singing merry lay.
 Halt! sharply called a grufr voice. "If I mistake me not. 'tis the kings own singing bird. Thy nest shouidst be well lined with gold. my pretty. Canst thou not be Induced to part with some of it?'
 Harold looked witheringly at Daring Roger. for it was none other than he' Raonnted upon noble white steed.

TN A VERY large field of growing | grain. a grasshopper was flying ana l hopping from stalk to stalk' when one day he met very small aninhai that he had never seen before
 The little animal said to the grass hopper: "why. how strang ly you act You jump from stalk to stalk, then you climb up or down. You then get down on the ground; there you walk or run bv pushing yourself with your hlno legs. I also note that you make sucn d funny noise. Now with me" said the little animal. II run around and get over the ground very easily. can run very fast. climb over fences and once swan across a little creek. l do things so quietly that no one can ever nho me. Don't you know when you axe that funny noise, that the turkeys we see around here will know where to ma you. and you know they are very fond of grasshoppers. Whenever hear them coming. I travel very fast. make no noise and hide, so that l am never troubled"
 What you say, little animal. is quite true" rep jed the grasshopper. put what you call a funny noise is not noise-thats singing. Don't you ever sing? Always, after I have had all care to eat, sing; and that is some- tn ng you cannot do. Besides, l have wings; that's another thing you do not have. Whenever hear any one coming. all 1 have to do is to clap my wings and away I go. for I can ly far and wide and very much faster than any one can run. so there is no danger of any turkeys ever catching me. You will also notice that I am green in color, the same color as the grain and grass, which I nsider a very great benefit. as they cannot tell me from grain or grass"
 Well, MT. Grasshopper." replie the animal, there is certainly more to you that thought; what you say is a sur prise to me. And as for your cSeor be- ing the same as the grain and grass. look at me, I am the anne color as the ground l am on. and the fence Is

"Bubbleology

Most any object-even spinning top may be inclosed in bubble. Pour some of the solution into plate or tin dish so that the bottom is covered to the depth of about one-eighth inch. Wet the rim of the plate. Place a butter plate in the middle of the dish and permit the object to rest upon 1t. Place small funnel over the article and blow gently, slowly lifting the funnel. Always re- lease your film by giving a jerk at right angles.
 As many as a dozen bubbles may be placed one inside another. Invert a dish and moisten the surface with the solution. Carefully blow large bubble upon it with your cornucopia. Then insert a moistened straw through the bubble and blow a second. and so on. Blowing smoke through the last bubble adds greatly to its beauty.
 Objects of any kind almost may be dropped through a bubble If first wet Indeed, anything the bubble touches should first be moistened with the solu- tion. You can hang bubbles on your finger tips. and even balance them on the top of a spinning top.
 To balance a bubble on a goblet. first cover the mouth of the goblet with film and then blow a bubble and drop 1t on the film.
 You can even freeze a bubble if you blow it in a cold enough place and allow it to remain on a wet plate. It is as- tonishing how long a bubble may be steamed 'ithout bursting.
 Indeed, with the right sort of solution and a little practice there Is hardly any thing you can't do with soap bubbles.
