Big Paper Hats.

they can all wear big paper hats of different colors as I once saw ushers wear.
 Some of the tableaux which are easy to give are of fancy dress balls. and of boys and girls dressed to look like the Fairyland people.
 And tableaux are nice of scenes on the farm, and at the beach and on the tennis court and fishing. A nice one to end up with is to have all the young est boys and girls in their little night clothes carrying candles and candle sticks-all ready for bed. But it is as we'll not to light the candles for there might be accidents then with fire. Candles wouldn't show well anyway with all' the lights for the audience turned on too.
 ''Then there are nice tableauX taken from famous pictures, many of that kind.
 Don't you think it would be fun, children?"
 "Oh, great fun, Daddy. Thank you so much for suggesting it to us. We'll get all the children interested in it to- morrow. And we'll get it ready in two weeks. Would that give us long enOugh?"
 "Just about right" said Daddy, 'for you'll have time enough with a good deal of hard work to get everything ready by that time and it won't be so long as to make you feel you have all the time in the world.
 And you can fix very simple cos tunes and they're just as pretty. They're easier to get into and they won't make your mothers all wish l had never suggested such a thing '"
 Nick and Nancy laughed. "We prom ise to dress up in simple things" they said.
 And when one boy has something in the way of a costume which will make him do for a certain part give that part to him. That is also a good idea.
 And one more thing, when you give your tableaux, have the children who're to act in the next tableauX ready while one is being given, as then there will be no waits and waits make audiences very, very weary"
 And off went Nick and Nancy to get up a series of tableaux which they de- cided they would give for the benefit of a fund they knew of which was be- ing raised to help city children get to the country. And at the same time they knew what fun they would all have getting up the tableaux.

sUPERsTlTIONs OF THE PAST
Peculiar Beliefs That Not So Very Many Years Ago Had Almost Uni
 versal Credence.

A reader furnishes us with a list of old superstitlons which were part of our folk lore in this part of the country before we had to have folk lore societies to preserve this sort of thing:
 A rooster growing at the front door meant a visitor coming.
 A twfg catching young lady's dress meant a beau.
 An itching ear meant that some one was talking about you.
 To turn back after starting meant bad luck
 Opening an umbrella in the house meant bad luck to the house.
 A measuring worm on a woman's frock meant a new dress.
 An itching left hand meant that you would marry soon.
 An itching right hand meant that you would shake hands with a strang- CT.
 Seeing the new moon over the left shoulder meant one would soon get money.
 Probably most of us are supersti- tious about the number 13, just as peo- pie were a long time ago. Our own superstitions will amuse subsequent generation, as those recalled by our reader amuse us. Only subsequent generation can safely laugh at super stitions. Socra tes was put to death for laughing at some of the superstitions of the Greeks. Let us, then, laugh at these and take the superstitions of our own time as seriously as we please St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Following a false alarm that the French had landed, Jim Horscroft, the doctors son, youth of fifteen, Quarrels with his father over joining the army. and from that incident lifelong friendship begins between the boys, They go together to school at Ber- wick, where Jim Is cock boy from the first. After two years Jim goes to Edinburgh to study medicine. Jack stays five years more at Der wick, becoming cock boy in his turn.

Jack promises to stay and marry her. She acQuieSces. Jim comes home. Jack sees Jim kissing Edie. Jack and Jim compare notes and force Edie to choose between them. She chooses Jim.

tronage which a man uses when he smiles to his dog. "I am myself again now. thanks to my excellent supper | and good nights rest. An, 1t is hun ger that takes the courage from a man. That most, and cold next" Aye, that's right" said my father ''I've been out on the moors in a snow. drift for six-and-thirty hours, and ken what it is like"
 "I once saw three thousand men starve to death," remarked De Lapp putting out his hands to the fire. ''Day by day they got thinner and more like apes, and they did come down to the edge of the pontoons where we did keep them, and they howled with rage and pain. The first few days their howls went over the whole city, but after a week our sentries on the bank could not hear them, so weak they had fallen"
 And they dfed?" I exclaimed.
 "They held out a very long time. Austrian grenadiers they were, of the corps of Starowitz, fine, stout men, as big as your friend of yesterday, but when the town fell there were but foul hundred alive, and man could lift them three at a time, as if they were little monkeys. It was a pity. An. my friend, you will do me the honors with madame and with mademoiselle." |"
 It was my mother and Edie, who had come into the kitchen. He had not seen them the night before; but now it was all I could do to keep my face as I watched him, for, instead of our hOmely Scottish nod, he bent up his back like louping trout, and slid his foot, and clapped his hand over his heart in the queerest way. My mother stared, for she thought he was making fun of her, but Cousin Edie fell into it in an instant, as, though it had been a game, and away she went in a great courtesy, until l thought she would have had to give it up, and sit down right there in the middle of the kitchen floor. But no. she was up again as light as a piece of fluff. and we all drew up our stools and started on the scenes and milk and porridge.
 He had a wonderful way with wom. en, that man. Now, if I were to do it, or Jim Horscroft, it would look as if we were playing the fool, and the girls would have laughed at us; but with him it seemed to go with his style of face and fashion of speech, so that one came at last to look for it. For when he spoke to my mother or to Cousin Edie-and he was never backward in speaking-it would al- ways be with a bow and look as if it would hardly be worth their while to listen to what he had to say; and when they answered he would put on a face as though every word they said was to be treasured up and remem4 bered forever. Edie did not say much but she kept shooting little glances at our visitor, and once or twice he looked very hard at her.
 When he had gone to his room, after breakfast, my father pulled out eight golden pounds, and laid them on the table.

"The other evening"" said Daddy, ''sOme children gave tableaux which, as I've told you, are like pictures. The children get in positions to make them look like the pictures and then they stand quite still while the curtain is drawn up and the people see the tab leau.
 At these tableaux the other eve ming were the mothers and fathers and older sisters and brothers of the chil- dren and many other people came too.
 ''The children gave these tableaux and with the help of their mothers got up their own costumes and did all the work assisted by a few grown-ups. They charged admission for they worked hard over them and had very fine ones, and the money they made went straight to a fresh air fund so that children in the city whose daddies and mothers were not we'll off at all could get little of the country and the fresh air in the summer away from the city.
 ''These children saw that they had no expenses. They made an old dining room table as a platform and put rug over it.
 Their curtain was of old velvet curtains which had been lent to them and the stage was very pretty with flowers and greens and ferns.
 "I thought that 1t might be nice for Nick and Nancy and their friends to get up some tableaux and give them for the benefit of some good charity. For you will get so much fun out of them yourselves and you will be giv- ing others fun, too, which they other wise would not have.
 Its always fun to dress up and to act-even if one acts without saying a word and looking just like a statue.
 What do you think about it, Nick and Nancy? Do you think you would like to give some tableauX? And wouldn't you like to give the money you make to some nice charity so that others could get some pleasure out of your fun too?"
 "We'd love it," said Nancy.
 And we'll work hard so folks will consider that our show is worth the money" laughed Nick.
 You can have volunteer ushers, and so they will all be known to be ushers

Soldiers Preference Was for Some thing of Which He Could Make
 General Use.

A British general who was com mandant of a district in India had presented the prizes at the garrison sports, and was rather surprised when one of the prize-winners, a private in an infantry regiment, approached him a few days later and begged to know If he would be allowed to change his prize for something useful.
 "What was your prize?" asked the general.
 In reply, the man produced along case under his arm, and showed a handsome pair of meat carvers.
 "Very nice, I am sure," said the general. What do you want to change them for?"
 "Well. you see, sir," replied the man, 'I would rather have a knife and fork of the size to eat meat with" Edinburgh Scotchman.

CHAPTER VI.
A Wandering Eagle.


 My father seemed to be much of Jim Horscroft's opinion, for he was not over warm to this new guest, and looked him up and down with a very questioning eye. He set dish of vine gared herrings before him, however, and I noticed that he looked more askance than ever when my compan- ion ate nine of them, for two were always our portion. When at last he had finished. Bonaventure de Lapp's lids were dropping over his eyes, for I doubt not that he had been sleep less as we'll as foodless for these three days. It was but poor room to which I led him, but he threw himself down upon the couch, wrapped his big blue cloak around him, and was asleep in an instant. He was a very high and strong snOrer, and, as my room was next to his, had reason to remember that we had a stranger within our gates.
 When I came down in the morning found that he had been beforehand with me, for he was seated opposite my father at the window table in the kitchen, their heads almost touching, and a little roll of gold pieces between them. As I came in my father looked up at me, and I saw a light of greed in his eyes such as I had never seen before. He caught up the money with an eager clutch, and swept it into his pocket.
 "Very good, mister," said he. "The rooms yours, and you pay always on the third of the month."
 "Ah, and here is my first friend" cried De Lapp, holding out his hand to me with a smile which was kindly enough, and yet had that touch of pa-

Marine Glue.

Marine glue is prepared by dissolv- ing one part of India rubber in crude benzine and mixing with two parts of shellac, by the aid of heat. The wa terproof character of this cement in connection with it's elastic f1eXibility makes it useful substance in many applications to house construction and to furniture. This glue is applied with ease when warm, and cools with promptness. It was originally intend ed to be used chiefly on board ship and is well known in Europe.
