For Family Reasons.

1t is characteristic of philo $50
pliers and scholars that once their
mind is made up it is almost i'm
possible to change it. They do not
want it changed. The late Charles
Eliot Norton, in his lectures on the
history of art, is credited with a
story illustrating this point. Nal
lock, the philosopher, once met
Thomas Carlyle.
Mallock was a wiseman, but he
and Carlyle differed in their viz ws,
and therefore Carlyle dubbed NAL
locks opinions false and pernicious.
When Mallock called on Carlyle he
talked in his fluent way for two
straight hours.
Then he rose to go. At the door
Carlyle, who had smoked the whole
time in grim silence, took his pipe
from his mouth and said mildly.
ssWeel, goodby, Mr.. Mallock. I've
received ye kindly because I knew
yer mither, but I never want to set
eyes on We again"

Beautifu! Story of MotherIy Love From

6eautifu! Story of MotherIy Love From
the Wids of Africa.
A native hunter in Somaliland
brought IN baby antelope to the
camp of two Englishwomen. He told
them that the mother was alive and
unharmed; that he had ridden them
down until the little oryx, exhausted,
had to drop and the mother fed on.
In 1.-Two Dianas In Somaliland' Agnes
Herbert tells of restoring the tiny
creature to it's mother. The hunter
had declared that if it was taken back
to the place whence it came the doe
would assuredly find it.
eve decided to try this, but to Sc
crete ourselves and cover the baby
back with our protecting rifles; other
wise it was quite likely that a lion
or leopard would make off with it ere
its mother could retrieve it. / took
the timorous creature across my sad
dle-it seemed all struggling legs and
arms-and made for the place, some
two miles off. where he first started
the oryx
eve set the baby down alone, SO
fragile and small it looked, and then
hid ourselves in great thorn brake.
The little oryx did not wander far.
Sometimes it bleated in a little tre-
bic. Once or twice it lay down, tuck
ing its long legs beneath it, to rise
and wander, all lonely, among the low
thorn bushes. Two hours or more we
waited, and then. gentle whinny, and
almost before we realized it a perfect
,oryx doe cantered toward the fawn.
She nosed it all over. and her joy ex-
pressed itself in every imaginable way.
1t was most beautiful and pathetic
sight We made some movement, and
all alert again the graceful creature
sailed away, the baby trotting beside
her"

RippIes-A Mother Goose Game.

Let the party be seated in a circle,
and any one may begin by announcing
the title of some well known verse,
Mother Goose or anything else, so
that it is likely to be familiar to every
one in the company. Then the next
player ON the left says the first word
of. the verse and the next the second,
and so on, running quickly around
and around the circle until the quota
ton is finished. Then the next player
may announce another selection to be
repeated in the same way. The sue
cess and fun of the performance lie
in the rapidity with which the words
follow each other. There should be
no pause or hesitation, but the verse
should go on as quickly and smoothly
as if one person were reading the
whole sentence. The effect is very
odd as the verse goes ripping around
the circle.
This is a good play to begin an even
ing with, as it breaks up any feeling
of diffidence or constraint and sets
things a-gOing.
