Have You the sYmptoms.

Dear wide-Awases: wonder if any of you are suffering with grip this spring.
 I do not mean the kind of grip that grown-up folks had all winter. mean baseball grip. that comes about the middle of April.
 The symptoms are impatience to wait for games to commence. and anxiety to know how they will end: awful nightmares after you get asleep, and the yells of "Runl Run for your life'' "Out! Out" sounds in your ears until you give one jump out of bed, and sometimes land in the mid dle of the floor.
 Next morning Dr. Umpire is called. who consults with ( Doctors Catcher and Pitcher, and decide that you have a bad attack of Base Ball grip. and will not recover until cold weather sets in.

POETRY.
Marcl1 and April.

- .L-
 -z., S---sS-a = -.Is. By ;AnnesR Woodruff. sMarch is like little lass, BOisterous-uuruly- Without manners, and alas!
 Without training, truly; Rude. compositions and cross, She is not admired; When she gives her head a toss, It just makes you tired. .l. But she has-can you not see?- Something nice about her; '- And you do not feel quite free In a way-to fout her; Tho she is a perfect fright With that frown alarming, When she smil6s-her face alight- | She Is simply charming. April smiles-a charming smile , Aggravatiag elf! She is trying for a while, To behave herself; Tears are, ohi so swift to flow , With this little lass; Smiles are, oh! so quick to go, With her, too, alas! You cannot depend on her
 Her most trying fault You must to her mood defer
 When she calls a halt; F'risk and play you cannot, true,
 With wet skies above her, But she's sweet, and pretty, too,
 And I know you love her.

My Thirteenth Birthday.

The second day of November I had a birthday party. Many of my friends were invited by mother and I.
 Mother decorated the table with table delfcacies. She made a horn of silver paper for my gifts. She also made birthday cake with 13 candles on 1t.
 After eating a little, the girls began to sing and dance. We played some jovial games and acted in plays.
 Some of the games we played were Bite the Apple" ducking the head into a basin of water for an apple. Two girls acted Romeo and Juliet.
 I received many gifts from my friends, among them a ring, a gold edged cup and saucer, a flower basket. silk ribbons and a great many other things.
 My friends said they enjoyed the party very much.

 The crown jewels are here. To get to them. you go up some winding stone stairs to a small. round room where the crown jewels are kept when the King and Queen are not using them The jewels are kept in a large, glass case in the center of the room There are crowns covered with all kinds of precious stones. and sceptres. and many other valuable relics all gold and jewels. No one is allowed to stay long here. You are kept moving all the time.
 There are several tame ravens there. One is particularly tame and it is lots of fun to feed him His name is 'fBlackie." He would fly upon the old Beefeaters hat and look down at him as if to say: How do you dof- He would also take sugar from the old mans mouth.

have a dear little pussy whose name is Tabby. She looks like a. small tiger with black stripes around her.
 Tabby is very good to me. because every morning I give her nice saucerful of fresh milk. When I sit down on the chair Tabby comes up to me and jumps on my lap.
 One day when I came home from milking, ready to give Tabby her milk. I couldn't find her anywhere. I looked everywhere, and after a while I heard faint cry, and when I went to the cellar door there she was, thankful to get out, and very hungry, too.

 The Tyre Bird is about the size of a small fowl. has long. strong legs. and short. weak wings. The general color is a live brown. IL has a strik- ing song. is very shy, and inhabits the dense thickets of New South Wales.

The Life of a MapIe Leaf.

Dear Uncle Jed:-I am a maple leaf. I live in the deep forest on a big tree. Once I was small and green.
 When the first warm sun shone in the spring I began to grow. One beautiful morning I opened my eyes and looked around
 From the top of Mother Maple could see the blue sky and many other kinds of green leaves.
 One day the warm summer rain came pouring down, and the wind blew very hard. I was frightened but did not fall down to the ground just then
 When autumn came I turned into a gorgeous red leaf. I saw many squirrels running among the trees and gathering nuts. One day in Novem- ber I fell down to the ground and then turned brown and soon the soft white snow covered me.
