My Trip to Springfield,

One Monday morning my sister Elizabeth took AIason and me to visit my aunt, who was staying in South Coventry.
 There we had an automobile take us to, Andover depot. From there we took the cars to Manchester and rode for about half an hour. Then we rode on the trolley for about an hour. We had to change cars again for another trolley. Then we rode for about if teen minutes. When we got off we had a walk of about five minutes. We reached our aunt's house about half past seven
 Tuesday we went to the playground, which is near there. There are swings, hammocl1s, seesaws, merry go-rounds, and there's a place where those who wish may learn to knit and make baskets.
 In the afternoon we went to Forest park. There we saw deer, buffalo, lions, bears. sheep, ducks, birds of many kinds, rabbits. prairie dogs, an ostrich. monkeys. wildcats, wolves and wild hogs.
 Thursday we went to the Science museum. There we saw stuffed birds wood, buffalo,, deer and a great big snakes skin.
 Friday uncle took us up an elevator We went up seven stories. The people looked as small as dolls and auto mobiles looked like toy ones.
 Saturday the rest of the family came in the automobile. Grandma, came with them. We enjoyed our Springfield trip very much.

Birds Feet.

Birds feet differ as much as their bills do. If you know q birds habits, you can tell a great deal about the kind of a bill and feet it has The hawk has sharp bill to tear his prey. He has also sharp claws with which to seize and carry it off, and his legs are very strong so that he can strike hard blow. He often kills q small bird by striking it on the head. Then he carries 1t off to his nest in his claws.
 The leg of a hen is strong, too. But they are not to catch prey. They are used to scratch for food.
 Do you know how the sparrow and other little birds sleep? They tuck one foot in their feathers. and fold the claws of the other around a twig. You would think they would become tired and fall from their perch, but they dc not.
 When the woodpecker drills in the hard wood he needs to stand firm. If he didn't have a, firm hold, he could not drill. His claws are made SC that ne can hold on.
 Birds that swim have weobed feet Their toes are joined together by a skin making paddles. By means ot these they row themselves along the water.

The Moss Plant.
Colchester

The moss plant is found in shady places and has a slender stem and a leafy part below. At the top of the stem is a spore case with lid which is filled with spores and when ripe the lid falls off and the spores germi- nate if they fall on the right kind of soil, then a young. green, thread like mass is formed, with many branches. This thread-like mass is called the protonema. Some of the branches grow and produce buds which grow into the leafy structure called the moss plant.
 At the top Of some moss plants at certain seasons of the year, in the middle of the green moss leaves may be found. tinW, fiasked ?shaped organs caller archegonia. which contain the egg cells. Sometimes in the same moss plant are found club-shaped or gans called antheridia, which contain the sperm cells.
 The protonema and leafy shoots with their antheridia and archegonia are known as the sexual generation, because it is this plant that produces eggs and sperm cells which must unite before the egg can develop into the spore- bearing plant. The slender stalk with the capsule at the end, which is produced by the fertilized egg cell, is called the aseXuaI generation

 When the tree has borne it's cluster of fruit it withers away: but the root still lives. Small shoots come up around the dead plant and are saved to plant.
 The young shoots that come up from the roots of the dead trees are eaten as greens, like spinach. FRANK PARDY. Age If.

"The Landlords mistake.y

When John Adams was President of the United States there were no rail- roads in all the world. People rode on horseback all the time. Even the ride along the muddy roads on horse back
 One day Thomas Jefferson vice president of the United States was riding along a muddy road into Bal tinfore. As he neared a hotel some of the guests at the hotel saw him com ing. and said:
 There comes old Farmer Moss back
 We'll said the landlord. q am not ing all the people Of the bac1w woods.'' 70
 The rider was now up to door. I'd like to have a room,'' said he.
 The landlord replied, T havn't any room, except in the barn."
 Very weH' said the stranger, I'll go ons''
 In little while another man came along well dressed, who asked for MT. Jefferson.
 He is not here" said the land- lord
 He said he was going to stop here,' said the stranger, The is a tall man with a reddish brown hair
 The only man that has been here for lodging today was an old clodhopper who was covered with mud, that rode 8 gray horse!'
 That was Mr. Jefferson said the stranger.
 He has gone over to the Planters for a nights lodging. The landlord was very sorry that he turned him away, and ordered the inn to be put in order, while he went over to the Planters and asked MT. Jefferson to come over to his inn and he should have the best room in the house.
 The landlord went over to the Plan ters' inn and told MT. Jefferson he thought he was a farmer. Very we'll" said MT. Jefferson, Where there is no room for d farmer, there is no room for me-

I HIS. 1ltEQ.
 Because Of their wonderful noses thousands of dogs are employed in the present European war, Germany alone having over POGO in the army. The. 1 Gogs are used to find the wounded ! and they are equipped with food, water and bandages, so that if the soldier 1 Is Hot too badly hurt he may help Himself at once. If the soldier cannot { help himself the dog comes back with the outfit untouched and he then leads. the way to the badly wounded soldier ; and his life is saved. We should be ] surprised if we knew the number of 1 wounded soldiers these dogs find and bring relief to.
 Half the world shout about dogs as l 1T they were unfit to live. and yet it lls an open question if the dog is not | Of as much service to men as the ! horse. but in different way.
 In Holland and Belgium they haul 1 the milk carts; in the Alps they res ] cue the perishing; in all the great | sheep-ra7sing countries they protect l the sheep from wild animals; they 1 guard the homes of men in remote ! localities; they detect smugglers in { European countries and they assist ! the police in running down rogues in
 most of the great cities of the world. 1 A dog hears sounds man cannot hear-it hears dogs trotting along the paveInents of cities when it is indoors,
 and recognizes them by their steps,
 when their master is not aware there | is a strange dog near.
 There are hunting dogs. shepherd { dogs, water dogs, watch dogs, police 1 dogs. Red-Cross dogs. army dogs rat catching dogs and other kinds of use | ful Towsers. We have all heard of l NOld Dog Tray, who was ever faith fui' and there are thousands of his tribe. since for fidelity the dog is not 1 ouEdone by any creature God has ere l ated.
 The dog does more good than harm, { always. His service to men is his protection.

Eva was a, great pet of Uncle Tom's She really liked him better than her father
 Eva after a while was taken sick which made Uncle Tom feel very bad Her nurse Miss Ophelia was very goed to her.
 Some days Uncle Tom would take little Eva in his arms and carry her out doors by the seashore which she liked very much. One day Eva told Uncle Tom that she knew she was go- ing to die. Every night after that he would lie down by Eva's door.
 That day Eva's mother told her father that the child looked like her self once more. The nurse thought she would stay up that night and told Uncle Tom to go right away for tho doctor. Pretty soon MT. Clare was there. Everybody was up. Afr Glare said that there was no hope foI her. The child looked as though she was asleep.
 Her father called her and she opened her eyes and a bright and glorious smile came over her face.
 Eva kept her eyes open and was looking at something.
 ''Eva!" said St. Clare, softly, but she did not hear.
 ''Oh, Eva, tell us what you are look ing at," begged her father.
 The child smiled gloriously and re- piled:
 "Oh. Love-Joy-Peacei"
 She could hardly speak.
 Eva smiled once more and her head lowered, her eyelids closed, and she died.
 Farewell, beloved child" said hel father.
 Uncle Tom said he could not live without Eva.

How Pencils Are Made.

Most pencils are made of fine grained Florida cedar The logs are collected from the swamps and taken to D saw mill, where they are sut into shingles.
 The lead in pencil is not lead at all, but is graphite which belongs to the family of carbon. A great deal of graphite comes from New York state. It is refined at the works near the mines. After it is in the form of powder, it is churned with water and becomes a black dough. This dough is squeezed through small holes in copper plates and comes out in Totnl strips. During the final pro- cess it goes through a heavy cylinder and comes out the natural size for use.
 Grooves are cut into the shingles by machinery into which the graphite is placed, while others plane and round them off.
 The pencils are then fitted togeth- CT, vanished and branded.
 The best pencils are vanished and finished off by hand while the com- mon ones are done by machinery.

The Kind Farmer.

It was cold, frosty winter night; and Farmer Jones and his wife and children were sitting near a cheerful fire in the fire place. They were all joking and laughing. Farmer Jones laid down his paper and thought a moment and Stid:
 Children, who wants to hear a story?"
 lie was about to start when a loud knock was heard
 When he opened the door, he saw an old ragged man, shivering with the cold. Farmer Jones stood still, look ing at the man, not knowing what to say. It was his own brother, who was once a rich man. but now, he, after many years. appeared an old, ragged beggar, without any home or friends.
 Farmer Jones, not saying anything, (though his eyes were full of tears), led him into the warm room. He bade him sit down, and asked him what led him to this and this is the old mans story:
 T was. as you know, a rich man, living happily, when suddenly my wife died, and my sorrow led me to my misery. I lost in my business, and then went away from the city, with out having any friends or home. tried not to beg, but this was all could do, for all my friends left me, and showed no pity towards me. From place to place I went working and begging, but all that the owners did, was to shut the door in my face, and walk away. But at last a, kind lady took me into a room, and gave me supper and clothing, and asked me if there was anything else she could do for me. I thought moment, and finally said that I would like to come to you. She at once gave me money for the trip. and here I am. I tried to do right, but seemed to have failed.' All this time the children, mother and father listened with eagerness to the story. Farmer Jones made up his mind to help his brother who had often been kind to him, and gave him a home. They lived happily together afterwards.

scamp.s Rirthday Party.

Yesterday was my birthday; at least my master said so. I only know had agreat time and like birthdays.
 For sometime my master had been writing notes and sending them around I went with him when he took them, and we always went to houses where there were lots of little dogs.
 Yesterday afternoon, right after dinner, my master took me upstairs and began to put on my new pug dog harness. It is all gay with ribbons and bells.
 Then they put on My Surprise. It was sort of cover, with fur all in down stairs Soon the door bell rang and little girl came in with dog in her arms. She spoke to my mast CTS sister and to my master, and made the little girls and boys come in, and all had dogs with them.
 My paws got awful tired shaking with them all. By and by the door bell stopped ringing I was glad. for I never saw so many dogs together in all my life.
 Some were pugs, some skyes, some terriers, and in fact all sorts of lit tie dogs We were running all about the room, when the door opened, and in walked my masters uncle, with a great big Newfoundland dog.
 They said it was a New-found dog. I wish he had not found him so soon, for you ought to have seen all the other dogs run. They hid everywhere. There were five under the big sofa; three under the big chair: one jump ed into the freplace-there was no fire there-and the rest ran all over the room. I ran, too. You would have done so, also, for that was an awful big, dog.
 Then the little girls and boys laugh ed. None of the dogs would come out until my masters uncle took the big dog away. Then we had supper. Soon after, the little dogs left Their masters and mistresses stayed and they mad 9 party. I got something more to eat when they all had their supper. I like birthdays.
