pretty little village, there are mum
Der of beautiful frs, sometimes called
holy or fairy frs. In most years the
trees yield an abundance of pretty
cones, which are wrought into orna-

story that one day the wife of poor
sick man went out seeking these cones
to get little money for her need by
selling few. She met a little man
with long white beard, who asked
her questions and told her where to
go for the best cones. When she
reached the place pointed out such a
shower of cones came down from the
frs that she was quite frightened and
began to run away But some had
fallen into her basket, and more came
down afterward. till the basket be-

Game of Pillow climhina,

In the middle of the floor scatter
numerous cushions, books, dishes, and
ask who among your guests will vol
unteer to walk OVER the floor between
the various articles. Then blindfold
her and let her make her way over the
same ground, depending on her mem
DRY to guide her steps, trying not to
touch the articles. While she is blind
folded some one quietly removes the
articles, leaving the floor clear. 1t is
a funny sight for the onlookers to see
the volunteer carefully lifting her feet
to avoid touching the objects she fan
cies are lying on the floor.

Chances of the Moon.

We can tell by looking at the moon
whether she is waxing or waning. If
she is waxing the Illuminated edge is
to our right hand; if she is waning 1t
is to our left hand. The reason of
this is easily seen if we pass ball
round the head in a room lit by a
lamp or single window. If the ball
is made to circle with clock hands the
dark side will travel foremost and
will lie to the right hand. while the
ball recedes from the light. During
this part Of it's course the ball will ap-
pear more and more Illuminated as it
moves. When the ball approaches the
light the bright side will travel fore
most and will lie to the right hand.
If we reverse the direction Of the ball
the phases will succeed ore another rs
they do in the moon. This proves
that the moon rotates opposite to the
direction of clock hands.

Earthquake-Proof Construction.


A new method of f1re-proof con.
struction for small buildings has been
invented in response to the growing
demand. Steel tubing filled with con-
crete IL used for the frame, and net
work of wire for the basis of walls,
floors and roof. On this skeleton a
concrete house Of such strength can
be built that, 1t is claimed, it will be
practically earthquake-proof. Six-inch
pipe, steel wire and expanded metal.
malleable iron fittings and cement are
the materials used. The wires are
strung to tension Of 1000 pounds,
and bind the whole together with
enormous solidity. On them the con-
crete is spread three inches thick In
spans not exceeding 16 feet. Construc-
ton is so simple that unskilled labor
can be largely used.

FOR The CHILDREN
The North Wind.

The wind blows loud and shrill.
Trees shiver at the sound.
The babbling brooks are still.
Hoarfrost lies on the ground.
The waters of the pond
Beneath his breath CONCEAL
The signing pines respond
Unto his ardent zeal.
Sometimes his moan is low
And like a lullaby.
Sometimes this wind doth blow
With shriexs that terrify.
But he is yet a friend
To every girl and boy.
There never is an end
To all his gifts of joy.
For always in his wake,
No matter how he blow,
He leaves for children's sake
The sparkling ice and snow.
Then wind blow loud and shrill
Or with murnnur low,
You'll find a welcome still
No matter how you blow.

az" of Quality.

The barrels containing beer and ale
are invariably branded with Ks to de-
note the quality of the liquor, the
more KS appearing, the higher the
grade. AS a matter of fact, these
marks are adapted from conventional
crosses. which were put upon casks
by the monks of ancient days, when
practically all malt liquors were made
in the monasteries. The symbol
served as sort of trade mark and
was intended to convey the idea that
'by their oath sworn on the cross"
the beer was of good quality and fit
for consumption.

Too Trivial for Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam does not deal in small
figures According to the controller
of the treasury bill of IS cents is
too trivial a matter for the govern
ment to consider. Slch decision was
made by the controller in the case
of George w. Lambert, a discharged
private of the Twenty-sixth U. S. On
his discharge from th' army in 1904,
Lambert claimed the government was
short IS cents in his pay. The claim
was disallowed on the ground that, in
accordance with the established prac.
tise of the government, the amount
is too small to warrant settlement

The Baboon,

The baboon is sometimes called the
dog headed monkey on account Of the
formation of head and jaws, which
much resemble those of the dog tribe.
One distinguishing characteristic of
these creatures is that the nostrils are
situated at the extremity of the muz-
zle instead of lying nearly fat upon
its base and just under the eyes, as in
the apes and other quadrumanous
animals.
Balloons are morose in temper, fierce
In character and most repellant in
manners. They walk on all tours and
seldom attempt to initiate the human
attitude.
A large baboon is a match for any
two dogs.
