WHY BEARS W ALU ON ALL FOURS ... - 13 x Raymond Fuller Ayers.

On day as Judge Tear was Rolns home with a lare pail of honey h hart pot from a bee tree In the woods, he met brother IiaLbit. who a?kcl him what he had that emellcd so pood in the rail. 'Honey." replied Judge Bear, "and a mighty long walk I've had for such a little bit, too. The pall is only half full." "Why do you go so far for It when there Is some right near your hou:-e?" asked Urother Rabbit. Judge Bear replied that he cleaned out every bee tree within five miles of hi.- house. As they walked along together Brother Babbit offered to show him a piaee where he could XI 11 his pail quite easily and still have plenty for another time. At last they came to a large rock which was split from top to bottom, and through the cracks thus formed they could tee hundreds of bees going In and out. They came along laden with honey, and went Into the crack which led down to the bottom of the rock, where they disappeared from sight. "I have often seen this place," said Judge 'GOOD-BYE, Bear, "but these are Bumble Bees, and not Honey Bees, and, besides, they sting dreadfully." "But when Bumble Bees live under a rock they make the finest kind of honey," said Brother Rabbit, "and a bee can never sting when you get him under ground. Have you ever got a bee under ground?" Judge Bear confessed that he had not, and became at once very anxious to secure the honey. "The rock Is too heavy to move," he said, "and I don't see any way of getting under it." "You must go over to 'Squire Ox's house across the field and borrow a pick and shovel," said Brother Rabbit, "and weil dig a hole down to where the honey is stored. I will stp.y. here and watch your pail until you corne back." So Judge 'Bear started Across the field to 'Squire Ox's house, and as soon as he was out of sight Brother Rabbit took the pail of honey and ran up the road as fast as he could go. He met 'Squire Ox, who was just coming from market. "Run to your house, quick!" cried Brother Rabbit. "Judge Bear lias just gone to steal your pick and shovel. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

I he'trd him say he was going to, and there he goes across the fields." With a bellow of rase 'Squire Ox galloped off to his house, while Brother Rabbit ran as last as he could go with the pall of honey. "Get away from my house," cried 'Squire Ox. as he caught up to Judge Bear, who was quite near the door. "This Is a nice business for a respectable bear like you, to come swooping around in this way. It's lucky Brother Rabbit met me In time." "I only wanted to get a pick and shovel," explained Judge Bear. "Then why don't you get one of your own instead of sneaking around after your neighbor's?" said 'Squire Ox. "Go away before I hook you." Judge Bear had not a word to say, and he went away very angry. When he reached the rock and found Brother Rabbit had gone with the pall of honey he was furious. He hunted everywhere for the thief, but could find no trace of him, and at last went home and scolded Mrs. Bear and cuffed the cubs.

OLD HONEY CllOrS," CRIED BROTHER The next day he was picking blueberries when he came across Brother Rabbit fast asleep in the. blueberry patch, and beside him the very pail that had held Judge Bear's honey, full of blueberries. Brother Rabbit was awakened by two huge paws squeezing him almost to death, and looked up to see Judge. Bear licking his chops over him. "I was just bringing back your pail," cried Brother Rabbit, frightened almost to death. "Just as you left me 'Squire Ox came along and tried to steal your honey, and I had to run away with it to save it. I ran so fast that I spilled all the honey, and I started to bring it back to-day and filled it with all these nice blueberries for you." Judge Bear growled and showed hl3 great long teeth. The shivers ran up and down Brother Rabbit's back so fast that he shook alt over. "You can't fool me," said Judge Bear. "I'm going to put a stop to your tricks right now. You are going to furnish a nice little dinner for the cubs. How would you like to be cooked?" "Will you grant my last request?" asked Brother Rabbit with tears in his eye. Judge Bear said that he would think about it. Among recent books of travel are Clark's "New Way Around an Old World," published by Harper Sz Bros., New York; "Travels Abroad," published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York; "Wheeling Through Europe," published by the Christian Publishing Company, St. Louis, Mo. Please state the best way to secure a position as a milliner. Needle-woman. After the trade is well learned, which is usually done by serving an apprenticeship under a retail milliner, a well-recommended applicant should have no difficulty in securing a position either in a wholesale or retail shop. Skilled and tasteful trimmers are said to be always in demand. What is the name of the river that runs under the Natural Bridge of Virginia? '. What is the length and height of the bridge? 3.

They are copies of famous paintings or of pictures made by fine artists especially for such copying. Some cost as high as $10,Cl0 and take from five to ten years for making. None has been sold since 1791, and they have been used chiefly as presents of the French government to foreign courts. So they are held for the most part in palaces and art collections.

A little over seven cubic Inches if you wish to represent all the salts of sea water; 77 per cent, of this if you wish only to reckon with its chloride of sodium. 2. There was a board of officers to examine and purchase, but not to seize or fix the price without consultation with the owners.

B. A's claim is wrong. The acid theory of fermentation, held by Pliny and by Fabrior.l in the latter's famors prize essay of 17S7, was disproved long since. The generally accepted theory lays the cause to minute living organisms, cells of yeastfungus, which enter either accidentally, as In wine or eider, or intentionally, as in brewing sd racing bread.

"Then cook me in honey," said Brother Rabbit. "That would be delicious," said Judge Bear, "but we haven't any honey." "Take me down to the split rock." begged Brother Rabbit, "and I will get the honey for you myself." So Judge Bear took him by the neck and carried him down to the split rock. Just where they had seen the Bumble Bees the day before. "We must pry the rock apart," said Brother Rabbit. "Help mc get a long pole." So they cot a long pole and put one end in the crack of the rock. Then they stood on top and Judge Bear pried it apart, while Brother Rabbit rut in wedges of stone to keep It from springing back. They worked and worked, and finally they got the rock pried oen about a foot. Then the pole broke all to pieces and they could not pry any more. "We have it going!" cried Brother Rabbit to Judge Bear. "It is almost ready to break apart now. Put your hands and feet in the crack and push and pull, while I put in more wedges and we Wax ft Ike Hi ,, RABBIT. shall soon have the finest honey you ever tasted." So Judge Bear put his hands and feet in the crack and pushed and pulled, and when he was pushing and pulling his hardest Brother Rabbit knocked out the stone wedges, the rock Hew shut and there was Judge Bear caught fast by the hands and feet. Then the Bumble Bees came flying out and stung him terribly. "Good-bye, old honey chops," cried Broth er Rabbit. "Be sure and have me served in honey sauce when you cook me for the cubs' dinner," and he took Judge Bear's pail of blueberries and went home. When he found he could not escape Judge Bear howled and cried, but no one came. For hours he was held fast, his back bent into a regular bow, until he got a terrible crick in his back, and everybody knows that when animals get cricks in their backs irom being nent over tney can never straighten up again for any length of time. So finally, when, hours later, Mr. Wolf heard Judge Bear's cries and pried .the rock apart, letting him loose. Judge Bear found he could not straight up, but had to walk on all fours. He was so angry at this that he made Mrs. Bear and the cubs walk on all fours, too, and all bears walk that way to this day. duced they grow and multiply, involving the consumption of the sugar. Salycyllc acid is one of a great many antiseptic sub stances that arc used to prevent fermentation. What are the qualifications for voting In North Carolina and (2j South Carolina? A. V. K.

GAMES FOR LITTLE ONES

Sl'GGKSTIOSS FOR TIIOSC WHO WISH TO ASItSE CHILDREN. Tiny Tlmt "Will Keep the YonnsMeri Bricht and Happy During the Hoyr of Outdoor Recreation. New York Commercial Advertiser. The following printed list of twenty-eight games for young children is taken from the official course of study for the kindergarten divisions of the summer playgrounds maintained by the School Board of the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. They are published as offering valuable suggestions to those upon whom falls the sometimes difficult duty of amusing little children during the summer months: 1. Drop handkerchief. 2. Spin platter. S. Frog in the middle. One, two or three children sit; in the center of the ring, with legs crossed under. All the others stand In a circle around. Running toward frogs In the center, they try to touch them without being caught. Children caught must be frogs. 4. Bridge. , Children stand opposite each other, raise and Join hands, forming a long bridge. Two at one end run under and join at, the other end. Next two run. etc., until all have had a chance to run under the bridge. 5. Puss In: the corner. 6. Button, -button. 7. Button on a string. String the length of the row of children or long enough to go around the ring; place on It a button, ring or small spool; children move button along, not letting the child outside know where it is; the one on the outside touches the hand under which he thinks the button is hiding; if successful the one whose hand was touched muät go out and try. 8. Stoop tag. 9. Blind man's buff. 10. Jacob and Rachel. Two children in the center. A is blindfolded and says: "Jacob, where art thou?" B goes about in the ring and calls "Here I am, Rachel." A must locate and touch B by the sound, and if successful In catching, B becomes A for the next game, is blindfolded and must try to catch another. 11. Tapping the stick. 12. Tom Tiddler. Draw long chalk mark on floor; all but one child stands on one side of the mark: one child alone on a side Is Tom Tiddler; all step over teasing Tom Tiddler and calling out, "I'm on Tommy liddlers ground." Tom tries lo catch one, and ir successful the one caught be comes Tom Tiddler. HANDKERCHIEF GAME. 13. Handkerchief game. Children stand In a ring, oiie in center. Those in the ring keep throwing handkerchiefs from one to the other. The object of the one in the center is to touch a child while she is hold ing a handkerchief; those on the ring do not want to be caught holding same and throw it before the child in center reaches them. 14. Little lassie. Ring. Child in center who is lassie. Children call: Little lassie, give us a chase. Get one quick to fill your place. Then all run and lassie follows till she touches some child. When the latter is touched (on the exact spot) she places her hand; she then goes in center, keeping her hand on spot and helps little lassie to catch, (lame Is repeated, two now being in center. ihese two each catch one and in so doing possibly touch those caught on different parts of the body; this makes four ia the center, each having and keeping the hand on the part of the body touched. This causes much merriment. 15. Drop, Drop, Drop. Children stand on ring about eighteen inches apart, not join ing hands. .'One child walks around with handkerchief, raying: "One, two three. Come follow me. Drop, drop, drop, Where shall I stop?" At the word "stop" she drops handker chief. Child near which it is dropped picks it up and follows her as she threads her way in and out among the children until the first is caught; the second then goes around the ring with handkerchief. 16. Wolf and Sheen. One child is wolfstands on opposite side of plaj-ground; the rest are sheep and stand on the opposite side. Wolf Where's your shepherd, pretty sheep? Sheep In his cottage fast asleep. Wolf 1 will catch you as you run. Sheep If we let you there's the fun. ' The wolf and sheep then change sides. and in crossing the wolf catches as many sheep as she can; these all go to the wolf's side and help the wolf to catch, as the game is repeated. THIMBLE GAME. 17. Thimble. The children are sent away. with the exception of one, who places a thimble or other object where it is partly hidden, and yet. If found, is within view of all. Children return, and the one who sees the thimble must say nothing, but simply sit down; the next one who sees it also sits down, until a dozen moro are seated, when one is sent to tell where the thimble Is hidden. Try to find the thimble out. Use your eyes and look about. 18. Daffodil. Two children stand faclnr: each other and raise clasped hands high; other players form a ring and skip around and under the arch, singing: We're looking for a daffodil, a daffodil. We've found one here. At last word arms are lowered and child caught; one caught takes the place of one forming the arch, and the latter joins the ring. 19. Hill Dill. Draw two long parallel chalk marks on the floor about eight feet apart. A child, "A," stands between the marks all the others stand on one side of the chalk mark when "A" calls "Hill, dill, come over the hill" all the children must run across the two chalk marks and over to the opposite side. "A" catches as they run across, and the one caught must remain in between the lines. "A" calls again, "Hill, dill." etc.. and those who are in be tween the lines mjist assist her in catching some more; repeat until all are caught and the game is at an end. 20. Hiding. Place a number of objects In the center of a ring. Child hides eyes and some one removes one or more of the ob jects (similar to "When All Playing To gether.") 21. Feather. Children sit in two rows, A and B, opposite each other, about three feet apart; a feather (one from an old duster will do) is blown by the children on "A's" side: their object Is to blow it over to those on the opposite side. "B" keeps blowing, so as not to let it alight on any of them; should the feather alight on one of those op side "B" that child is out of the game. The second side, "B," then tries to blow the feather over so as to send out some of them on the "A" side. The game continues in this way until all are out, or as long as the interest lasts. MUSICAL MYSTERY. 22. Magic Music. Some cne plays on the piano all the children are sent away while something is hidden. Loud playing indi cates that children are near the hidden object; soft playing that they are far away. 23. Duck Under Water. Children stand opposite each other, holding hands or hand kerchiefs to form arch; the two at one end go under the arch and join on the other end, then the next two and so on until all have had a chance to go under the arch; any child who breaks the arch or lets go of hands is out; keep up as long as interest lasts. 24. Red Roe. Players on one side of goal one child in center, and another empty goal on opposite side. One in center says: "Red rose, red rose, see where 'Eddie' goes." Eddie must come out and run across the one in the center to opposite goal; one in center tries to catch before he Is In this goal; if successful the two stay in center and repeat, etc. 25. Skip Away. Children clasp hands and form a ring outside: a child goes around. touches one on ring; both run in opposite directions around the ring until one is back in the empty space; the one out then goes around again and touches a different child. 2C. Touch Wood (iron, glass, etc.) One stays out trying to catch children who are not touching wood; children must kep going about trying to touch different things made of wood. While going from one

EXAGGERATING SALL1E

A Funny Fairy Fable by FranK StarK.

There was once a little girl living In a small village, and her name was Sal'ie. When Sallle was asleep there was no better girl for miles around, but when she was awake she did not do a thing but exaggerate. When she said anything was high, "It was higher than the sky;" when it was deep, "it was deeper than the ocean." and when it was big, "it was bigger than all outdoors." If she bumped her head the lump was larger than a pumpkin, and if she cut her finger and it bled a few drops, "it bled a "bucketful." There was a baby born near where they lived, and Sallle went with her mother to see it. Then Sallie went all over the village telling every one that the baby was so small that you could hardly see it. The whole village men, women and childrenrushed to see this wonderful sight, but when they saw it is was just an ordinary little baby. People were getting pretty tired of Sal"I WZXri; lie's exaggerations, and at last she was punished. One day Sallie was playing in an orchard back of the house, when five just five blackbirds lit upon one of the trees and made a great noise. Sallle ran to the kitchen, where she found the. cook and the cook's aunt. The cook's aunt was a witch, ever so old and very feeble. "Oh!" called Sallie, "come out into the orchard. A million blackbirds have lit among our cherry trees and are eating up all our cherries!" The old witch, in spite of her pains and aches, insisted on going to see "a million blackbirds," and, with the assistance of the cook and the help of her crutch, managed to hobble to the orchard. When the old witch got there she counted just five blackbirds, and was very angry. Turning to Sallie, she said: "I will teach you not to fool another old woman. From now on everything you say will be true." That kind of frightened Sallie and for two whole days she did not exaggerate once. The third day was Sunday. Sallie's mother had bought her a new pair of stockings. When she put them on they were a little place to another children are caught by the one who is "out." One caught becomes the one "out." 27. Cat and Mouse. A ring; two ch.ldren chosen, one outside and one inside the ring; one on outside is called the cat, the one inside is the mouse. The cat runs in and out, trying to catch the mouse. Mouse also runs in and out in her efforts not to be caught. Children raise arms to permit the free passage of the mouse, thus trving to help her in every way: they lower arms to prevent the cat from getting to the mouse. Cat may get under arms or even break the clasped hands without, of course, hurting any one. The interest is intensified by having two cats trv to catch one mouse. 2S. Sheep Gathering. Two rows of children facing each other, joining handslong chalk line between them the first row saving. "Give me a sheep." Second row answers. "Let some one come get one." Teacher then chooses one from each side; children named come to chalk line, join hands and try to pull each other over the line; the one pulled over must join the line to which it is pulled. The new ones are then chosen. Teaching Trick to a Tlcer. Interview in London with Trainer Sawada. The most difficult job was making the tiger jump throug the hoop. By the by, that hoop is a smaller circle than the tiger's body; but when the tiger is jumping through the air his body gets thin by being stretched, and so he can go through. The way 1 taught him was by imprisoning him in a corner, -and holding up a large hoop as his only way of escape. Then gradually I got further and further from the corner and made the hoop smaller and smaller. It was also a very difficult thing to get a tiger to go on the tub alone. But t VitnL-.tVio cAA-ca-o.- trlrW tried mv natleno most. The bears are very shy and nervous. J you know, and again ana again i wouia one would slip, both would get Into a panic, the see-saw would be smashed, and I har'. to start again at the beginning.

Maybe every one thinks he or she knows how to cook a trout. Did you ever taste one cooked by Gen. Wad Hampton? The famous Carolinian knows what good eating is, and he has always known how to tickle the palate when the dog days are in the ascendant. Fishing in the mountain streams of the Southern States has been for many years his August pastime. And many a senator nas ne taken up there and introduced them to a lazy life full of happiness, that brought them back to a campaign full of zest: They angled for rainbow trout, and this is the way the famous general cooked the prize: The instant the fish wu Undtd it wa

bit too large. Sallie did not say anything about it until she was all dressed and ready to start to church. Then, the stockings feeling uncomfortable, in exasperation she cried out: "Oh. mother, my stockings are a mile too long!" When Sallle had gone some distance toward the church she felt something dragging at her feet. She looked down and saw her stockings were growing out of her shoes. Sallie did not know what to do, but, seeing the stockings trailing a long distance behind, was ashamed to turn back. Toor Sallie never knew how she managed to drag herself to church and into her pew. But she did it somehow. The congregation coming in stumbled over Sallie's stockings, jerking her feet this way and that way. Sallie had to remove her shoes and pull off the little bit of stockings she had on her limbs. Then she put her shoes on her bare feet. When the services were over Sallie waited

"'ft

TEACH YOU." until every one had left the church. Then she crept out. There were her stockings twisting all around insido of the church, and when she was on the church porch she could sec them stretching away down the street, with crowds examining them and wondering what they could be. No sooner did Sallle step out of the church than some children said: "Look at Sallie, without any stocking," and a little further on some more children cried out: "See, Sallle has no stockings!" Then some grown people said: "Sallie, why in the world don't you wear your stockings?" Sallie, filled with shame, commenced to run and ran all the way home, but as she ran she could hear every one say: "Look at Sallle without any stockings!" When she arrived at home, breathless, sho told her mother all about it. Then, bursting into tears, sobbed: "Oh, mother, I shall cry" and then she stopped. She was going to say cry my eyes out, but she did not do it. She laid her head in her mother's lap; her troubles had made it ache. Poor Sallie looked up through her tears and said: "Oh, mother, my head is" then she stopped. She was going to say, "My head is bursting, but she didn't do it. Sallle had learned a lesson, and from that time on she never told anything that was not true. dressed, and a chunk of sweet, fresh butter, a pinch of salt, a shower of pepper and a diminutive rasher of breakfast bacon were placed inside. A corn shuck, out of which the roasting ear had just been taken, was procured, and the trout, thus prepares, put In place of the ear, the shuck smoothed down, and tied at the silk end. Then this shuck with its precious cargo was Dut In the embers and covered with live coals until the fish was done to an exact turn; the roasting ear was toasted before the fire, and a corn hoecake, such as only our colored fellow-citizens know how to manufacture, was brought into requisition. The fish must swim three times once in water before he is captured, once in butter after he is roasted, and again in whiskyafter it is eaten. No wonder General Hampton enjoys a green old age.

There is great wisdom in the following remarks of Sir J. Crichton-Browne. addressed recently to the dentists of Great Britain. He pointed out that bad teeth leT to many and various diseases, involving dangers to health which had not yet been fully rea-lized by people at large. For instance, people who had good teeth would have far better prospects during an epidemic of Asiatic cholera than those who had bad teeth. The teeth of inmates of lunatic asylums showed that there was some connection between mental and dental decay. He thought it was the duty of the state to protect, preserve and "conserve the teeth, and he hoped the time would come when parents whose children were found in possession of decayed teeth would be brought before a magistrate The heavy increase in dental carles during the past forty years is believed to be due to the fact that roller-milling has replaced stone-milling, as roller liour 'contains more acid than stone-milled. Our ancestors had much b-tter teeth than we have. They ate plenty of hard substance which strengthened the teeth, but the soft foods eaten by the modern man and worn, an invite decay. The French hJ?e mu?h better teeth than the English. This Isdd to.be ,otec the former eat more crust Life. Forenoon and afternoon and eight Forenoon And afternoon and nljht- forenoon Forenoon, and what! The empty sons: repeat ltslf. No more n-hf; iff ,lfe: make th,s forenoon mbiime. This afternoon a p-alm. this night a prayer And time, la conquered, and thy crown U won. E. R. Eili.
