boys. \ frown had come to his pale.

grow deeper every day.
We have tried all sorts Of ways"
sighed mother, but none of them seem
TO make our boy happy"
Let me try just one on two ways"
said auntie, who had come TO make
them visit. And she told Paul OF a
little girl with broken back. who
lived not far away and had never been
out of her room
Can she play" asked Paul
Yes; she sits up in bed and has a
fine time with her two rag dolls" said
auntic. And think if she had a nice
little house for her dolls, poor little
iietty would be quite happy. IL she
did have TO stay alone all day"
Alone"
Yes, her father is dead. and her
mother has to work hard all the
week"
Poor little thing" said the boy. 81

You can make 1t all by yourself. Paul.
If help you "A little and show you
how"

Yes; I will. order a box the right
and then you can begin right away"
And so she did. OH Paul was a
different boy. as he knocked away with
his hammer. for 1t took some little
time 10 divide the box into four nice
rooms for light keeping"-par-
coy bedrooms above. Auntie brought
in some scraps OF lovely wall paper.

put up snow white muslin at the eight
tiny windows, and from a furniture
catalogue they cut four gay rugs, and
then
How much have you in your spend

Just cents"
We'll. YOU will need only four sheets
of doll furniture and little glue; the
extra cent will buy that"
1t took Paul two whole days to cut
up the sheets and put the furniture
together. but he had never been so
happy. and when. at last, the dear
little house was finished, auntie showed
him how to put up some little pictures
in each room. Then she took from
her workbasket two tiny, pretty dolls
she had dressed. setting them in the
down stairs rooms. The last was to
take poor Hetty the beautiful house,
and Paul saw with his own ewes how
the poor child lived, and how CRATE

orinin Of aNaxrx. Workers,

The seventeenth century canals or
navigations gave rise to the '.nayvy,"
a term very slowly evolved from 'nav-
igator." There are many country pub
lie houses in England still existing that
testify to the navvy's early designa-
ton on their sign. THE Navigators'
Arms" which depicts a brawny labor
er with spade in one hand and a
foaming pot of beer in the other. But
you may search England through and
through and you will not find a 'sNav-
vy's Arms" Curiously enough, while
the NAVY who makes our roads now
obtained bis designation from digging
out canals, the canals were all legally
classified as roads In great body Of
statutes-the "road acts" But what
would have been his nickname If rail-
ways had come before waterwaysf-

THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.
What a Procession Of Those Born In
One Year Would Mean.

What q Procession of Those Born In
One Year Would Mean.
It has been computed that about
100000 babies are born into the
world each year. The rate OF produc-
ton is, therefore, about seventy per
minute, or more than one for every
beat of the clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find, on
the authority of well known stalls
tician, that, could the infants OF year
be ranged in a line in cradles, the
cradles would extend around the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
In more picturesque light He Inn
AGNES the babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers arms,
one by one, and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour in the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed but even in going past at the
rate of twenty minute, 1,200 an hour,
during the entire year, the reviewer at
his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when
the years supply of babies was draw
ing to a close there would be a rear
guard, not of infants, but of romping
six-year-old boys and girls.-London

HANGING PICTURES.
The Old Rule and Origin of the Term
aOn the Line"


"On the Line"
People still speak of pictures being
hung ION the line" at the Royal Acade-
my, but very few indeed, even among
the present members themselves, know
the origin of the term. The common
belief that it implies place on the
walls on the level with a spectators
eye Is more or less correct. But when
the exhibitions were held in Somerset
House and Trafalgar square the term
meant something far more definite. In
those days people not only spoke of
pictures being hung ION the line" but
"above the line" and below the line"
The line" was then regular and per
manent fixture. 1t was a horizontal
line exactly eight feet from the floor,
marked by a projecting ledge that left
the surface Of the wall below it two
inches In advance of that which was
above 1t.
A picture was said to be hung 'on
the nnen when the top Of its frame
was level with this ledge. "Hung
thus" says G. D. Leslie, R. A., in 'eThe
Inner Lift of the Royal Academy"
"the picture, unless very small one
indeed, was exactly at the height to
be viewed comfortably by specta-
tor"
The rule in old times was that all
very large pictures. as well as whole
length and half length portraits, had
to be placed above the line, the bot
toms of their frames resting on the
ledge which marked the line, but no
lower. The line was thus preserved
level, no pictures breaking through II
either from above or below.
