A FLY SEE-SAW.

Here is an amusing little trick that
you will find lots of fun:
Stick long lead pencil in the end
OF spool of thread so that it will
stand upright. Now get a piece Of
very stir blotting paper and from it
cut a strip two inches wide and about
a foot long. In each end of this put
drop of molasses or syrup.
Now balance the strip of plotting
paper, with the syrup side up, on
the point of the pencil You should
have two players, although one will
do. Each player chooses an end of
the paper. In a moment a fly will
alight on one end, attracted by the
syrup, and that end of the paper will
so down a trifie. Then another fly
Will light on the other end, or per-
haps several will come there for the
sweets, and things Will be reversed.
AS more flies come, alighting on
the ends, the paper will lean first

THE MAN IN THE PANsY.

The Little Sister came in from the
garden, her hands full of flowers, and
begged her mamma for a story-"a
brand-new one, mamma" So man.
ma caught sight OF pansy among
the flowers the Little Sister held, and
this is what she told the Little Sister:
I'm the middle OF every pansy there
lives a little old man. He must be
a very cold little man, too, for he is
always wrapped in little yellow
blanket, and even then has to have
an extra covering of velvet pansy
leaves to keep him warm. And he
sits in the flower with only his head
uncovered. so that he can see the
world.
But the queerest thing about this
little old man is that he always keeps
his feet in .foot-tub. Such funny
little tub, too-so long and narrow
that you wonder how he manages to
get his feet in it. He does, though,
for, when you pull the tub off, there
you will discover his two tiny feet,
just as real as can be-"
The next time you pick a pansy,
see if you can find the man and his
little foot-tub.

Were they all iron and heavy bars?
and, IL one passed in, did they shut
and keep him there forever?"
No, the doors mean are pink or
scarlet, and, when they open, you can
see a row OF little servants standing
all In white. and behind them is a
little lady dressed in crimson"
What, that's splendid!" cried
Kate, II should like to go In myself. -
An! 1t is what comes out OF those
doors that makes them so dangerous.
They need strong guard on each
side, or else there is great trouble"

FAST FRIENDS.

a dog and pigeon are the wonder
OF the village OF Pennsgrove, n. ].
The pigeon was left an egg orphan
by the shooting OF its real mother.
but Mrs. M found for 1t a haven
OF refuge under a bantam hen, which
had the setting fldgets about that
time. In due time the pigeon came
forth, but 1t took lot OF care and
attention to bring 1t up, for tho ban
tam positively refused to have any
thing further to do with her foster
child when she discovered 1t could fly.
The little pigeon cast about for a
friend, and the family dog-just an
ordinary dog-looked kindly upon It.
One day the bantam hen savagely at
tackled the pigeon, but the dog put
himself between Thorn and saved the
infant from pecking. The pigeon
knew from the moment that 1t had q
friend, and from that day 1t never has
had cause to change its opinion. Bird
and beast have been almost insep-
arabic.
When the dog creeps into the
kitchen to lie by the stove, the pigeon
finds its way to accompany him, and,
with one eye comically open, 1t
roosts upon the dogs back like a
winged sentinel. They eat out OF the
same trays, and drink out of the
same founts. They take trips to-
gether into the woods, and while the
pigeon can move much faster, 1t
never leaves its shaggy companion.

THE BLUEBuRDS.

Twas a tiny place where the bluebirds
A rift in the heart of sturdy tree;
But one was as snug as she could be,
And one on a neighboring branch a-tilt
Sang that his heart was satisfied
However the land might beckon, wide
Caroled that well content was hel
1t was love and hope that had made the
nest,
Seeking and bringing with tireless wings
Spoils of grasses and twigs and strings
To weave for the brooding mother-breast.
1t was love that lowered secure and warm
And hope that twittered through shine
and storm
The secret of five little hidden things.
They had no fear that grief would come:
They rocked with the breezes and heard
the rain
Beat on the leaves low refrain
Around the walls of their sheltered home.
They had done no wrong and they feared
no wrong;
They had given the world their best-a
song,
And they looked for good from the world
again.
But there's room and to spare where the
bluebirds built
Quiet and desolation there,
And only. hush in the waiting air
Where the lit and laugh of the music
split;
Somewhere the stolen treasures are
Hid by the hands that were raised to
And two little heart-broken birds some
where.
