Now, you must know that the children's Neighbor Berlingot had q girl who was i'll unto death and nothing in the world would make her well again but the Bluehird. The little girl had begged Tyltyl for his dove, but Tyltyl would not part with it, so she grew weak CT each day and nothing Neighbor Der iingot could do seemed to help.
 Then one night after Mytyl and Tyltyl had gone to bed the Fairy Berylune came into their room and told them they must get dressed and come with her to find the Bluebird for Neighbor Berlin got's daughter. The Fairy gave Tyltyl a cap with a magic diamond fastened on 1t and he had only to turn this diamond q little to see things as they are' She showed him by turning the magic dia- 1nond that Fire, Water, Milk, Bread, Sugar and the other Things" have souls; and she commanded that the Things accompany the children on theii journey To the Cat and Dog she gives the power of speech and they likewise go along with the children for protec. ton.

 At last they are brought back to their own little cottage and there Light dis misses the Things and says good-by to the children, But they have not found the Bluebird and they are very sad Many birds had been pursued and caught, but they had died immediately or changed color, so the real Bluebird had not been captured.

 Did you know that the Kaiser had a poison-flled abscess in his ear, and that if it burst he would be a raving manaiac ?
 Did you know that the Kaisers left arm is six inches shorter than his right, and that the hand is puny as childs? And did you know how he carried it in order to disguise the deformity?
 Did you know that the Kaiser has a mania for adiniring beautiful hands, which greatly embarrasses the ladies of his courtss That he wears many brace lets and feminine rings, copied from those he admiresss That he has 36o full dress uniforms, that he was twice King, twice a grand duke, IS times a duke, twice prince, nine times count, be- sides being a bishop
