In Fairyland.

XUTEIRD shadows shroudcd in June moon
w light ghostly with clouds. danced over
the woodland lawn. Neighboring waterfalls
crooned lullabics. Encircling monster oak were
a hundred fairies in svcry dresses at play
With automobile lights turned off Of
lovers sat and watched the enhancing scene.
Only the prattle Of the little forest people and
the occasional smack OF kiss broke the beaut-
full silence.
This is not vignette OF Arcadia. 1t was
Rock Creek Park one night last week when the
tired folks OF Washington in large numbers sought
its ,ool shadows to escape from the heat OF the
city.
The fairies were there. They were children
on a Sunday school picnic. Some District pastor
had a novel and pleasing idea which he realized
i'll the form OF a moonlight revcl for the little
OF his congregation. Not bad suggestion
for others who want something different from the
age-old lunch basket affair.
And the lovers were there. They never are
lacking in any secluded spot within reasonable
distance OF the District on hot summer nights.
Those ghostly Rock Creek lawns are popular with
them.
But it did not last long. disturbing element
broke into fairyland. He was a burly figure in
broke into fairyland. He a bury figure in blue
uniform and knee pants with silver shield on
chsnted barriers on a bcycle-paying no heed
to the romance of the OCCASION.
Time to be moving" he growled at the occu-
pants OF each automobile. Don't youse guys
know than to park here all night"
The explosions of dozen motors followed his
coming. He had broken the SPELL Fairyland van
ished. The disturber OF dreams had cursed away
the delusions and brought everyone back to reality
As the automobiles sped away their occupants
noticed the burly figure walking slowly towards
the group Of dancing fairies
A moment later from far away it seemed,
there came through the ghostly moonlight the
strains OF an old gospel hymn. The Sunday school
picnic was over.
All night the waterfalls crooned luabies
All night ghosts whispered through the trees.

detrimental to health, happiness.

home is the beginning of life itself.

DR.. LeClerc has Just returned

ANIMALS FATTENED
IN THE DARK.

When a fowl IL TO be used Tor
meat il may be fattened by keeping
il in the dark for two or three
weeks before killing. While in the
dark il will eat readily. but IL takes
little exercise, with the result that
its flesh becomes fat and tender. In
Europe, calves which are TO be used
for veal are fattened by the same
method. A French scientist NJ.
oltrsmare. has experimented in this
manner on a variety OF animals. in
GLIDING rabbits. guineapigs, cocks.
pigeons. tOrtoises. frogs and hsh,
some Of these being kept in the
dark for more than three months.
With all these different forms he
finds similar results. They gain in
weight more rapidly than animals
kept in the light with the same
quantity of food. II kept without
food. the animals in the dark lose
weight less rapidly than those in
the light Contrary 20 the general
belief. NJ. Oltramare finds that dark
ness does not cause anemis, does
not diminish the number Of red
blood corspscles. The animals kept
in the dark remain in good health.
