The nightingale carried both of them
off on his back and they were soon in

When the King found that the Prin-

frightened and feared that some dread
ful thing might have happened TO her;
then he began to think how much ne
loved her and wished her back.
He would walk through the garden
crying and wringing his hands, wishing
that he could have her again. One day
fairy appeared to him and said, We
took away your daughter because You
did not think of her happiness, you
thought only Of yourself and the riches
you would possess when she married a
rich prince"
The King begged her to send the daugh-

to her, but the fairy said that could
not be.

horses to draw 1t and lovely clothes
and. in fact, everything to make her
happy and beautiful. After a few
years the little Princess grew to be a
young lady and the King thought it
was time for her to marry one OF the
rich princes from the adjoining king
doms. The princess, however. did not
care for any OF the princes that her
father selected, and told him she
would rather live with him in the
castle. and net marry any one whom
sne did not love.
But the King was anxious for her
to marry one Of the rich princes, so
that he could see his daughter the
richest lady in the land. He called
the princess TO him and told her she
must choose "a husband and set the

The King had forgotten all about
the fairies or his promises. 1t was so
many years ago he had asked for a
daughter, so when the princess beg

the tower rooms of the castle, and she

How to Economic.

To test the quality of the air in a
room to learn whether 1t Is pure or
poisonous, pour some clear lime water
in a glass and leave 1t standing in the
room. II the atmosphere is burdened
with poisonous carbonic acid gas this
will soon unite with the lime in the
water, making II cloudy.
BY sewing pieces of strong tape, wide
enough for the hand to slip through
easily to each side of the mattress, you
will lessen the trouble usually had In
turning 1t, for the handles give a good
hold on an otherwise cumbersome
object.
The necessary frequent washing of
hair brushes in order to keep them
clean softens the bristles. To prevent
this, dip them in a strong solution of
alum water Immediately after washing.
This alum water can be bottled and
kept on hand for several occasions-it
is clean, for the brushes are thoroughly
washed before being dipped into 1t.
