ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Quite the most interesting bit in
the alluring pages of the st. Nicholas
is the story of how that dearest OF
all children's classics, Alice In Won
derland," came 20 be written. told by
Helen Marshall Pratt. 1t is charm
ing tale of the friendship of a quiet,
reserved, bookish young lecturer at
Christ Church College, Oxford, and
of three children, daughters of the
dean of the cathedral.
Boating on the river, with tea on
the banks, and story telling along the
way, was the favorite play OF those
four comrades; and of the many stor-
les told on these outings the adVen-
lures of "Alice in Wonderland" were
written down to please little Alice
Liddel, second of the children, later
finding their way into print.
So little did the author understand
what Il wonderfully ingenious and
fascinating book he had written that
he did not expect the first edition
would ever be sold. But the 1000
books were very quickly disposed OF.
Every one wanted to read Alice,
and to have his friends read 1t. Not
only little children, but grown people
enjoyed it, and edition after edition
has been printed and sold, ana to-day
it is even more sought after than
when 1t was first published. 1t has
become classic and holds a place
on ehildren's bookshelves with Rob-
inson Crusoe" and Hans Christian
Andersen There Is not a spot In
the civilized world, not library with
any pretension to literature, where

For the
Younger
Children,

they have little cages for them, like
we do for our canaries. But they
have only one cricket in cage, as
they will fight if put together.
"The Murmurer, as Mr.. Grass
hopper is called-and 1 don't see why,
as his songs to Mrs. Grasshopper are
so loud and shrill-makes his music
by rubbing his wings together. HE
has little piece of skin like tight
drumhead set in each wing, and as
he moves his wings these tiny drums
vibrate-thus his music.
Mrs. Grasshopper doesn't have a
drum in her wings, but listens to her
lords music with her ears, which are
on her fore legs! Isn't 1t queer!
Think of having ones ears in such an
inconvenient place, as near knee!
Or, as the locusts have, on each side
of the abdomen. At least, they have
round plate there, which Is sup
posed to be an ear, on each side.
Mr.. Grasshopper sits perfectly still
while making his music, looking very
grave and quite correct, in his long
tailed dress suit coat, which he al
ways wears.
Mr.. Locust, however, stands on his
two front fore legs to sing, and IS
really ludicrous sight as he lifts his
hind legs and draws one by one, and
then both together. across his wings.
The inner side of his hind legs has
rough, file-like edges, and the wings
thick veins, like cords, and the file of
the legs on the cords Of the wings
produces the sound. He IS finished
musician, too, for he can make two
tones, and as one or two legs are
used, make the music loud or soft.
The beautiful light-green katyd1d
sings only at night, and his song,
"Katydid, Katydid; Katy broke the
teapot lid; Katydidn't," and all the
different versions Of it, is one of my
earliest recollections.-Mrs Helen 3.

A FEW INSECT MUSICIANS.

Surely you have heard them-a

crickets and their cousins, the grass

all carry fine musical instruments

to really find out, and was surprised
to know where all that noise came
from. You know a cricket is not
slender like a grasshopper, but is
short and thick, and looks like he is

ParaSoIs For Men,

Rumor has it that mere man is
about to take leaf out of woman's S
book, and at the risk of ridicule pro-
tect his head from the rays OF the
summer sun with the parasol.
The rumor is confirmed by some
West End shopkeepers, who profess
to have done a good business in the
last few days in sunshades specially
designed for mans use. The shades
are, of course, not the elaborate artf-
Gle used by the lady Of fashion, but
the plain, unadorned specimen often
used by man in tropical countries.
