Why James Was Punished

Like most boys of 6. James is fond
of jelly and sweet things. One day
recently he wanted some bread and
jelly, and the pantry door being locked
he climbed in through the window.
In the midst of his enjoyment he was
surprised by his mother, who asked:
Why did you come in here without
asking me?" and James, hoping to
avoid the whipping which he believed
was coming by diverting his mothers
attention temporized
Mamma" he said al don't see why
YOU should whip me for getting into
the jelly. The other day Johnnie New
man wanted something to eat. so he
tried to climb in the pantry window;
he could not. so got IN for him. I
found lots of nice things to eat. and
was passing them out to him, when
his mother. came in and caught me.
She didn't scold a bit, but just told me
to go home and do that in smy own
house"

time" said his mother. but now L

Sunshine After a Shower

Ever after summer shower.
When the bright suns returning power
With laughing beam has chased the
storm,
And cheerd reviving Natures form.
BY sweetbriar hedges bathed in dew.
Let me my wholesome path pursue;
There, issuing forth. the frequent snail
Wears the daub way with Shiny trail:
While as I walk from pearled bush
The sunny sparkling drop / brush;
And all-the landscape fair / view
Clad In robe of fresher hue:
And so loud the blaekbird sings
That far and near the valley rings.
From shelter deep of shaggy rock,
The shepherd drives his joyful flock
From towering beech the mower blithe
With new born vigor grasps the
scythe;
While Ger the smooth unbounded
meads
His last faint gleam the rainbow
spreads.

TEACHING CHILDREN To PLAY

American nation at the present time
does not know how 10 play, the play
spirit having been crushed out by ex-
traordinarily rapid progress and com
mercial success While there is plenty
of excitement and certain conventional
forms Of amusement the real spirit of
play, such as lay behind the folk
games. dances and festivals that were
the natural expression of the pleasur-
able elements in the life of the people
Of older countries and older times, has
been almost entirely lacking.
The object of the association is not
to provide additional forms of amuse-
ment for children and young people,
but for the training Of future citizens
by means of organized play, which at
all times has been practically syn
onymous with mental and moral as
well as physical development.
One branch of the many activities of
tie association has made a particularly
creditable showing. About a year ago

Queen Wilhelmina' S Life

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland rises
at a. m. Sundays and week days,
takes her eau de Cologne bath, and
makes a hasty toilet. She then goes
into her writing room, looks over her
letters, and takes up the chief news
papers of her own country and of the
capitals of Europe, the main features
of which have been previously marked
by secretary. At 1890 o'clock she
takes breakfast with her husband and
the chief members of her household.
From 2 o'clock on she is at home for
the ministers of state, with whom she
does not hesitate to engage in lively
arguments if proposal does not please
her. Dinner takes place at sharp,
and is an elaborate affair Like a true
Hollander, her majesty goes to bed at
1890 every night.

Gems No Millions Could Buy

The most costly wardrobe IN the
world belongs. without a doubt. to the
pope. Etiquette compels him to wear
different garments each day of the
year, and as nearly all of them are
ornamented with rich and rare gems
no millionaire bould hope to purchase
them, even If value could be placed
on them. The pope's little skull caps
are of the finest silk, while his enf-
broidered slippers of velvet are gor-
geous to look at. Still more costly are
his gloves. made of white wool, en-
broidered with fine pearls in the shape
of a cross. A special herd of so sheep
is kept, from which all the papal wool
en- garments are manufactured. The
surplices are of the most valuable lace,
while one long cape, the "cappa mag
na," which lis rarely worn, hangs
straight from the shoulders. and liter
ally CLEANS from top to bottom with
gold and precious stones. The rings.
too, which the pope wears. are price
less, containing as they do many stones
of matchleSs quality.

A Strange Nut

On the islands of the Pacific ocean
grows one of the strangest nuts in the
world. 1t may be used either as a
candle or a food, or be made into an
ink for tatooing. The natives call it
the candle nut. The kernel is so full
of oil that when dried it can be
stuck In a reed and used as a candle.
The native boys and girls go rnutting
for the candle nuts in the woods OF
Hawaii The nuts are not eaten as you
would eat a hickory nut or walnut:
but the kernels are removed, smashed
into a paste. and when seasoned with
salt and pepper make an appetizing
dish The she'll of the nut may be
burned and used to make an indelible
ink with which the natives tattoo them
selves

SHORT STORY
A Butter Bath

Although a sea voyage is generally
characterized by monotony, sometimes
very amusing incidents occur. On the
recent trip of a large liner one of the
passengers accompanied member of
the ships crew into the hold. volun
teering to assist in getting up potatoes
for stores. His companion asked him
to hold open the mouth of sack while
potatoes were poured into it. To do
SO necessitated the passenger elevating
himself somewhat, for he was not over
blessed with inches. Therefore, he
lightly hoped up on a cask. AS he
heaved the sack with a mighty jerk,
the top of the barrel on which he was
poised gave way. 1t contained butter,
and the weather had reduced II to
pretty much the consistency of oil. In
went the passenger bodily. and out
spurted the liquefied butter in foun-
tain all around. Into the eye of the
sailor some of it splashed. and when
he had cleared his face he saw the
poor volunteer standing in the cask
literally enveloped in butter. and so
firmly stuck that assistance had to be
procured before he could be dragged
out.

THE POET
Dolls of All Nations

Nothing is more fun FOR little girl
who has grown tired OF her doll family
than to make them into family of all
nations by dressing them in suitable
national costumes.
There may be any number of dolls IN
the doll family-the more the merrier-
and it isn't at all necessary that they
should be young or fresh, or even
whole when the family is started A
one armed doll, or with one leg or eye,
will do very nicely for a German SOL
dier who has seen service. or even for
one of our own sailors or soldiers who
has been to the wars. A battered doll,
long past first youth, with scanty locks
and a damaged nose. will not look out
of place as an old peasant woman in
the costume Of any OF the countries of
Europe. There should be Chinese and
Japanese dolls. whose costumes are not
hard to make. If one has not real
oriental expression to start with IL is
not difficult to make IL by little at

For the eyebrows the water color

WITH THE
The Village Green

On the cheerful village green,
Scattered round with houses neat,
All the boys and girls are seen,
Playing there with busy feet.
Now they frolic hand in hand,
Making many merry chain;
Then they form warlike band,
Marching DER the level plain.
Now ascends the worsted ball;
High it rises in the air;
Or against the cottage wall,
Up and down it bounces there.
Or the hoop, with even pace,
Runs before the merry crowd;
JOY is seen in every face,
Joy is heard in clamors loud.
For among the rich or gay,
Fine and grand, and decked in laces
None appear more glad than they.
With happier hearts or happier faces
Then contented with my state,
Let me envy not the great,
Since true pleasure may be seen
On a cheerful village green.

TELLER AND
The Stars

They glide upon their endless way,
For ever calm, for ever bright,
No blind hurry, no delay,
Mark the daughters of the night:
They follow in the track of day
In divine delight.
And oh, how still beneath the stars
The once wild, noisy earth doth lie;
AS though she now forsook her jars,
And caught the quiet of the sky,
Pride sleeps, and love (with all his
scars)
In smiling dreams doth lie.
Shine on, sweet orbed souls, for aye,
Forever calm. forever bright:
We ask not whittier lies your way,
Nor whence ye came, nor what your
light.
Be, still-a dream throughout the day,
A blessing through the night
