one that has for eyes tiny incandes-
cent electric lights. Not lighted up,
these look like ordinary eyes; but
squeeze one of the bears paws and
instantly they glow with light.
Instead of the ordinary stuffing the
electric Teddy bear has inside of it a
little storage battery with wires run.
ming to the little lamps that serve as
the bears eyes and also to one of the
bears paws within which is contained
the switch by which the current is
turned on. The eyes glow only while
the pressure on the paw is continued,
shutting off automatically when the
pressure is released, and as it is not
supposed that anybody would want to
sit and squeeze the bears paw contin.
uously it is calculated that the bat
terry will furnish current enough for
some hundred of flashes and that it
will last for from two to four months.
The electric Teddy bears, which are
made in various sizes and also in var
ious colors, as cinnamon, polar and
black, are supplied with eyes white
and red and green, and by buying ex.

eyes of one color in the morning, an

Soon the boys discovered colony Of

Napoleon always had an unlimited
trust in his preseatlments. When the
news came to bin that one of the Nile
river boats, the name of which was
LItalie, had been wrecked and the
crew put to death he gave up all hope
of ever completing his conquest of
Italy by annexation. Napoleon believ-
ed that the stars exercised an occult
influence over human destinies. When
General Rapp, at one time his aid-de-
camp, returned from the siege of Dant-
sic he found the emperor gazing with
concentrated attention at the heavens.
Look there!" shouted the emperor.

Mrs. Flatdweller has bad cold;
one of those long, lingering colds; and
lately she has had, to add to her dis
comforts, some coughingt spells; and
Mr.. Flatdweller has tried to be very
sympathetic; and when he hears
somebody coughing in the fiat over
head he says:
Hello, there's somebody coughing
upstairs, now"
Man or woman?" says Mrs. Flat
dweller.
Man or woman?" repeats Mr.. Flat
dweller, why, how should l know?.
And he adds with what is intended to
be pleasant good humor: 81 can't see
through the ceiling and the floor, you
know"
you don't have to-" Mrs. Flat
dweller says. 81 should think you
could tell that by the sound of the
cough; they don't cough anything
at all alike"
"They don't?" says the astonished
Mr. Flatdweller, what's the differ
ence?" and then says Mrs. Flatdwel-
Ter:
why, one coughs with a mans
voice, and the other coughs with
woman's voice."
And at that Mr.. Flatdweller said
nothing aloud; but he said to himself
that that was the first time he ever
knew that the sex of an unseen
cougher could be told by the sound of
the cough.-New York Sun.

The Deeds You Fail 10 Do.

The Deeds You Fail to Do.
1t isn't the thing you do dear,
It's the thing you've left undone
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of brothers way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You We're hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time nor thought for,
With trouble enough of your own.
The little acts of Kindness,
So easily out Of mind:
These chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and silence
Each chill, reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
Margaret Sangster, in Human Life.
