Take Care Of Your TOYS.

Some children have a way of tear
ing and breaking their toys to pieces
as soon as the newness has worn off
them. These children have the same
small regard for their clothing and
their rooms and books. Now, the,
thoughtful boy and girl will never
abuse toy just because lit can't
feel" as / heard a destructive boy
say once in regard to a beautiful toy
he had demolished ruthlessly. The
thoughtful boy and girl will know
that there are many poor children
who never have toys unless some OF
their more fortunate little comrades
gives them their wornout playthings,
and will therefore keep their toys as
nicely as they can while enjoying
them, and as soon as tired Of them
or they are replaced by newer and
more interesting ones-wlil give them
to those who will appreciate the
gifts.
Ehave seen little girls willfully pull
the hair from a beautiful French dolls
head, merely giving as an excuse:
"Oh, we've. had her since Christmas,
and are tired of her and want new
one" Now, those same little girls
might have made some poor child
very happy by presenting to her the
beautiful doll they had grown tired of.
There are little girls who are obliged
to play with empty spools, balls
wrapped of bits of twine, old barrel
hoops and any odd pieces of gay-col-
ored cloth that may fall to their
hands. A real joy, new and pretty,
is never theirs, and seldom do they
have the pleasure of secondhand toys.

of. So, let every child who reads
this make himself or herself COM

her toys so carefully that when tired
Of them, they will be in fit condition

sorrowful to pass down a tenement

Freddy's Lucky Day.

Freddy was little boy nine years
old. He was little superstitious and
he believed that Friday was an un-
sucky day for him.
One Friday In July his mother asked
him to go to the store for her.
Il know will lose the money or be
cheated" he said as he started.
He arrived at the store in safety
as far as his money was concerned,
for he was nearly run over, which
gave him fright.
He told the man what he wanted,
and the man gave him some crackers
and told him to eat them on his way
home.
When he had walked one block he
saw lady drop her pocketbook. Run.
ming forward he picked 1t up and
gave it to her.
THANK you very much!" she said,
and opening her purse she gave him

When he reached his home he said:

Some facts regarding the early. bis
tory of Camille" will be interesting in
view Of the revival of the play at tpe
Chestnut-street theatre. Young Dumas

he received the manuscript his NAM
agement suddenly terminated. the
play wah to have been brought out In
September, 1851, but on August % the
censors issued their report forbidding
the production. Four days later a
second report was made which was al
SO unfavorable. After third refusal
Dumas secured the aid of the Duo de
Morny, who prevailed on the Emperor
Louis Napoleon to override the CEN
sors, and on February 2, 1852, la
Dame aux Camelias" was acted for the
first time.
Matilda Heron was then in Paris
and within month she had mastered
the character Of the heroine, had made
a translation Of the play, and had
sailed for America The record is a
little obscure, but it is generally be-
lieved that "Camille't was given it's
first American production in Cincin-
natl in 1856. On January %, 1857, it
was acted in New York.
Gen. Adam Badeau, writing of that

last summer was a Camp Supper.
The invitations were for from six to
eight-thirty. These we're in the form
Of folders, the outside decorated with

tent and campfire. The artist was
the small boy himself, and have
never seen invitations more enthus-

when the twenty girls and boys
arrived, they found splendid camp
fire, and in tent set up in the back
yard goodly supply of nicely washed
potatoes, corn still in the husk, very
thinly sliced cold meat, bread, butter,
sugar and lemons.
Half of the number present were
detailed to keep UP the fire, roast the
corn in the hot ashes, DOLL the pota-
toes with the jackets on, and get wa

"The remainder made lemonade,
cut and spread the bread, and arrang-
ed the meat and paper napkin on
each paper plate, ready to be taken up
by the children when supper was
ready.

campfire. Games were played until
eight-thirty, and the boys and girls
scampered home, voting 1t the very

Eric and BERTHE were very pleased

made up himself, and as he was a

and made him cry, and his mamma

said they had better play something

still had trouble with his buttons and
his knife and fork.
Once, while they were all playing
in the orchard, Efiie and Ralph and
lot of bigger cousins who took delight
in doing things Charlie couldn't do,
the latter felt his smallness particu-
larly keenly. Jack was swinging by
his legs from the limb of an apple tree
while Ralph ran out like monkey
on the highest limbs, and Charlie,
perched in the lower crotch of the
tree, was looking on in wondering
awe.

you couldn't do that!"
Charlie craned his neck to see this
astonishing feat of Ralph's, leaned
too far, lost his balance. and fell.
Down he came onto the ground, very
fiat, very suddenly and very hard.
He sat quite still for a moment, daz-

that he was still sound, he made the

triumphantly to Ralph, II bet you

The Alley Children.

When the sun Is shining bright,
When they close the shoolhouse door
There Is laughing in the alley
Among the children poor
The, big boys play at soldiers.
They. have paper caps and sticks,
And the little boys are building
Their castles with old bricks.
The little girls are skipping,
With rope all torn and frayed,
And little pair are sharing
a chop bone in the shade.
The big girls nurse the babies,
The babies without end,
FOR they hope to earn penny.
On Saturday to spend.
And over all the sunshine
Wants to help along the play,
And the summer air is ringing
With children's voices gay.
