this to be a common illusion in bal

movement Of the air about him, ane

He looked down. The ground was
startling near. He could see plain

tie hills and the dark troughs; could
even distinguish in that one quick look
some of the dwarf trees. And sick
and dizzy as 1t made him, it brought

was not falling very rapidly.

With a great effort he bent his head
downward and uttered sharp cry.
Just beneath him lay the black-green
mat of one Of the little groves. Gaunt
gray herons were rising with hoarse
croakings. Then the trees seemed to
shoot up toward him, AID the wound
ed Comet crumpled on their springy,
interviewer tops.
Hundreds of muscular little limbs
struck him, bruising his flesh as they
opposed his progress. The gnarled
little trees upheld him as on bed OF
steel wire, and although shaken and
torn, he escaped without a broken
bone. But the Comet was mourn
full wreck.-Youth's Companion.

Market Value Of Wild Animals.

Some idea of the market value OF
wild animals may be got from the
offers which are being made constant
ly to the Kansas City Geological So
ciety, which is organizing to establish
a zoo In Swope Park.
One entire menagerie has been OF.
fered for the block sum OF $40. 900.
In the schedule a male elephant Is
quoted at $4,000 and female at ST.
600. Two male camels are down for
5000 the pair. and pair of lions are
listed at $500. A family Of three
lions, two Of them males, is marked
at $3.50. and two other females az
$3.50 for both of them. The explana-
ton is made that lion is top price
at four to FIVE years.
For 5000 the society Can get a
leopard, and for the same money a
hyena. A black bear Ia priced at
800, and wolves at SIS each. A half
bred buffalo is offered at $3.50, and
an elk at 500. An offer has been
made to the society by an Australian
dealer, but his collection is mostly
of birds that would be difficult to
keep alive in this climate.-Kansas

A LOST MOTHER.

1t is no uncommon thing for police
men to find lost children upon the
streets, and to restore them to their
homes, but here is an interesting
story of a Colorado Springs oficer
who had the pleasure of restoring
lost mother to her family
One morning, as the policeman was
sitting on a box in front of drug
store, he was startled by seeing a
Strengthening animal crawling up
his trousers leg. With quick mo-
tion of the hand he caught it by the
tail At first he thought it was
rat, but 1t was unlike any rat or
mouse he had even seen. Plainly
it was neither squirrel nor gopher,
nor could he think of any animal
known to him to which he could liken
it. He took it to police headquarters,
where 1t was kept on exhibition for
a time, but no one-not even learn
ed college professor who CHANGED that
way-could give 1t name.
At length, as one of the officers
was passing fruit store, he saw IN
small glass showcase a nest of
seven baby animals exactly like the
one at the police station. The fruit
dealer told him that they had been
found in bunch of bananas just re-
ceived from South America. Return
ing at once 10 headquarters, he fetch
ed the animal imprisoned there, and
placed 1t in the showcase with the
babies. They at once ran up to X,
and showed by unmistakable signs OF
Joy that they had found a lost mother.
Finally, there appeared a wise
man." who said that they we're South
American mice, otherwise known as
kangaroo-rats. In shape and general
appearance they resemble kangaroo
but have feet like the hands CT a
monkey, having thumb distinct from
the fingers or toes, and. like the mon
keys. they hang by their long tails.
Having satisfied their hunger, the lit
tie ones went to sleep with their
tails coiled around the tail of their
mother, which she had turned over
her back.
The officer declares that, when he
first discovered the strange animal
crawling up his leg, there was an
appeal for help in its eyes-the look
of stranger in trouble, in a strange
land!-Ella Beecher Cuttings, in
Unity.

CHILDREN.s PARTIES.

THE only reason why l keep my
little boy home from birthday par
ties" said mother recently. "is that
there is usually nothing suitable for
him to eat"
Said another woman, Our town
has been deluged with these pernic-
fous children's parties. I've counted
IL children who have been made Ill
in the past two weeks from eating
conglomeration of sweets such as no
sane mother would think of giving
her child at home"
But children love parties! The
very word Is fraught with Joy for
them, so why not have sensible par
ties, warranted to make them happy
instead of i'll.
Such a party recently given for a
four-year-old was In charge of kim
dergarten friend of the hostess.
The table was decorated with q
huge birthday cake in the center, and
around this danced a circle of gaily
painted paper dolls. A paper doll
was at each child's plate and one of
the attractions after supper was the
Dance of the Jointed Wax Doll, given
by an aunt of the tiny host. The
Jointed Wax Doll wore a short child's
dress, huge hat made of crepe paper
and had beautiful fiaxen hair made

Baked apple, skinned and cored,
piled in sherbet glasses with cream
was served. Then came cocoa and
finger rolls tied in pairs with baby
ribbon. Ice cream garnished with
popcorn and birthday sponge cake
finished the feast.
A Fairy Party given a five-year-
old child was carried out as follows:
The decorations consisted Of wide
strips of tarlatan running from the
chandelier to the backs of the chairs.
Pink and white flowers and candles
were used in abundance, and bit
of glistening mica was sprinkled
about to increase the brilliancy of the
scene. The center OF the children's
admiration was huge pink satin bow
on the table
For refreshments there were corn
starch pudding boats sailing on sea
of yellow custard. Each boat carried
a tiny paper sail and each sail bore
in large letters the name of the guest
for whom the cargo of fruit was in
tended.
Served with the boats were rolled
sandwiches with ribbons, and also
buttered brown bread cut in strips
and piled up in corn-cob-house fash

ade" to drink. made by dilutiag grape
juice with water.
Pink ice cream, waters and pink
wintergreen candy patties concluded
this festive repast.

lawn by five little girls in costume,
and when the afternoon was ending,
