CHILDRENS DEPARTMENT +.

yard, looking under bushes, in the
trees and under the fence, but all of
no avail. She sat down and made
dolly a plain, simple dress, and she
seemed as happy as ever. Quite Of
ten as Millie dressed her dolly she
would say, II 'spect the fairies needed
the lace worse than you did, dolly,
dear; so we'll try to be happy without
it,
The days passed on, and Millie and
dolly had almost forgotten about the
fairies and the lace. Suddenly, one
bright sunny day, her Oldest brother,
Harry, came rushing in with face
aglow, and shouted, "Millie, I've
found your fairy and your lace
Millie, all excitement, begged to
know where the fairy lived and Harry
said, Cup in the old elm tree" Sure
enough, the fairies we're pair of
saucy bIue-jays. Their nest must
have been almost finished when Mil
lie hung her lace on the line. They
thought what a nice nest that would
make for their babies, and so they
took it. How they ever managed to
carry it around the house to the tree
will always be mystery to Millie.
Brother Harry put up large lad
der and let Millie climb up and peep
| into the nest. What do you think
she saw? Five fluffy little birds cud-.
died down, with just frill of white
lace showing all around the nest.
The worried mother and father flew
around Miles head, screaming and
pecking at her, as if to say, What
are you doing here?" Millie simply
said, ct want to see for myself and
tell dolly who stole the lace, for she
thinks the fairies did it.. t."-Scottish

A GOOD NIGHT STORY.

Once upon a time famous man
went to visit a little town in Italy, so
the mayor and the chief men of the
little town said they would present
the famous man with some figs and
cream, because those were the most
important things which were sold in
the little town.
The figs and cream We're placed in
beautiful silver basins and the mayor
and the chief men carried one silver
basin each But before they set out
the mayor said to the others: las
you do not know what to do before
such famous man, you must watch
me and do exactly as 1 do"
Now there was step down into
the room where the famous man was
waiting, but the proud mayor was
marching with his head held so high
up that he did not see the step at all.
So he fell down and went sprawling
right into the room, and the cream
from the silver basin flew all over his
Whiskers, and the silver basin rolled
into a corner of the room. Oh, what
a sight he was! And he was so
frightened that he just sat on the
floor and stared at the famous man.
The other chief men of the little
town were following the mayor, and
when they saw him fall they thought
they had to do the same. So they
sat down on the floor and dipped
their whiskers in the cream, and then
threw their basins into the corner.
The famous man was very much
surprised, forsthey must have looked
very droll with their creamy whisk-
ers.-Newark Call.

A TRUE STORY.

Millie was little girl who lived in
the country. She was a busy, happy
little maiden, who was very fond of
making clothes for her dolly. Her
mother encouraged her in this il
every way she could. One day she
gave Mile beautiful piece of white
lace to trim dolly's party dress,
There were two yards of it, and it
was almost two inches wide.
AS it was slightly soiled her mother
told her to wash it and put in on the
line to dry, and when it was starched
and ironed it would look as nice as
new. She was proud as a queen as
she did the washing, and had great
plans made as to just how dolly would
look in her new gown.
An hour later Millie went to the
line to get her lace, WHOM

rangements OF her own she could

rangements OF her own she could
make to the same end.
"You are very good to them, Ed
ward-oh! very good. How can 1
ever thank you?" said Lady Car,
with tears in her eyes. Her nerves
had been little shaken by that
shock, and by the vain perception
that stole over her of two parties in
the family, two that would become
more distinctly two by the progress
of years, unlike in nature and consti-
tuition, and even in name. 1t is not
necessary to insist upon the family
name of children travelling with their
mother. No one had been much the
wiser during these years of wander
ing. But Toms "Torranee!" was a
revelation, and opened before her
possibilities unknown.
Good, am I? That's all right,
that's something to the credit side,
but was not aware of it," said Beau
fort, in his easy way; "all the same" :"
he added, laughing. Master Tom will
want looking after if we are to make
anything of him. He will want tight
hand, which, fear, does not belong
either to you or me-"
1t cost Lady Car a pang to hear
even this mild expression of opinion
about her boy. A mother says many
things, and feels many things, about
her children which no one else may
say before her. She looked at him
wistfully, with faint smile, which
was full of pain. "He is only child, :"
she said, apologetically, "and then he
will get that at school," She could
not contradict him, and she could not
argue with him. Poor little Tom!
he was her own, though he might not
be all she wished him to be-the
plea rose to her lips unconsciously
that he was fatherless, that he had
drawbacks to contend against, poor
child. What a plea to form even un-
consciously in her mind. She looked
at her husband with such troubled
and wistful appeal that his heart
smote him. He laid his hand upon
her head caressingly, and stopped to
kiss her.
ITO be sure" he said; "the boy
will be all right, Car. He has plenty
Of spirit, and that is the best thing
after all Ready, Tom? Come along,
then. I'm ready, too"

THE DIAMOND-TREE.
Did you ever see
The diamond-tree
A-growing in the SUM-
And how they wink,
And how they blink
The diamonds, every one?

See, all a-quiver,
The diamonds flash and glow

A new type of roadway has been
developed in some parts of California
known as the petrClithic, which is
nothing more or less than well-built
oiled road The leading feature OF
this pavement is the very complete
compacting of the oiled material by
means of a rolling tamper, a new piece
of road machinery. 1t was designed
to insure the tamping of the material
from the lower portions upward to
the surface, instead of downward
from the surface. The inventor re-
ceiyed the idea from seeing a large
fock Of sheep walk over newly
plowed road. After the sheep had
passed over it the soil was found to
be packed SO hard that a pick in
dented it but a short distance. To OBJ
tain this effect with roller the cir
cumference of the main roll is COW
cred with hampers, which act like so
many feet walking over the earth and
packing it.
