Cupid was a King Charles dog, and had long, silky ears. They were a light to his mistress from an artistic standpoint, but they were a nuisance when it came to eating. If Cupid drank milk from' a saucer, his ears received a milk bath, aud the same result followed upon his partaking of bread and gravy or the various other viands with which Cupid satisfied his department of the interior. Psyche was a cat. She had no such beauty .as Cupid, but she was the past graud mistress in the art of cleanliness. Psyche simply could not endure anything that was dirty, and Cupid's ears were a great source of annoyance to her. One day Dorothy, the little girl who owned both Cupid and Psyche, heard the most pitiful howls coming from Cupid. Rushing to find out the cause she found Psyche seated on Cupid's back with his head pinned down fast by her claws. Cupid protested, but it was of no use. Every time he moved. Miss Psyche's claws went into him more deeply. Psyche had made up her mind that Cupid's ears must be washed, and she was washing them. Her little pink tongue lapped them, first this way and then that. The long hairs got In her throat and made her cough, but that did not stop her. Notwithstanding Cupid's comical bowlings, she persevered, and despite the largeness of the contract and the smallness of the washing ' apparatus. Psyche continued in her well doing, -- until Cupids ears were in the state of cleanliness she deemed necessary. How Dorothy laughed! She determined, however, that instead of subjecting Cupid to such treatment In the future she would pin or, more correctly, hairpin his ears upon the top of his head While he was dining, which she did. Cupid at first objected, but when Dorothy gave him his choice between hairpins or Psyches claws, without hesitation he chose the former as the lesser of the two evils. , The Laughing Game. The laughing game is one of the It requires no preparation whatever, but may be played by a roomful of boys and girls the moment it is Any number of players suggested. may take part in It They first select a leader, who should be a bright, alert, d boy, capable of preserving his self possession while fun and laughter are going on all around him. The players seat themselves tn a circle, and the leader takes his place in the center. He holds In Lis hand a white handkerchief, which he has knotted so as to make It partly solid. When everything is ready the leader tosses the handkerchief up In the air, and then every player must' begin laughing. But they must all stop laughing by the time the handkerchief reaches the floor, and if any one does not stop and the leader catches him either laughing or Braillng he imposes a forfeit or a fine. Or, instead of making the detected laugher pay a forfeit, he may be required to drop out of the circle. If played in this way the players drop out one after another, until only one Is left, and that one wins the prize. round-bottome- d St. Nicholas.

Guam, Uncle Sam's lilliputian possession in the Ladrone group of islands, was once much more important than it is now. In the middle of the seventeenth century its population was fully fifty thousand. The Guam-ite- s were mighty fighters in those days. They carried on Incessant warfare with the Spaniards, sometimes winning and sometimes losing. In the end, however, they were conquered, after thousands of them had been killed. Then epidemic diseases attacked and so decimated them that a hundred years later the islands population was below the two thousand mark. Since then it has slowly increased. until ten thousand people today find their home on the little island, which is thirty miles long and has an average width of ten miles. Where It Comes From. When you chew those delicious licorice drops did it ever occur to you where it came from? Well, it is made from the root of a southern plant These roots are a rich yellow in color, and taste, oh! so good. But they are not used right away. They are mashed until a thick liquid is brought out. This is boiled and boiled until all the water is boiled away, and the gummy stuff that remains is cooled and then rolled into sticks as The simple anemia of development" referred to by I)r. lapponi is, of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood is tardy and whose health at that period is so often His opinion of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People at that time is of the highest scientific authority and it confirms the many published cases in which anemia and other diseases of the blood, as well a3 nervous diseases, such as nervous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia have been cured by these pills.

It Is a foolish notion to suppose that the ringing of bells or tanging" of tin pans will cause a swarm of bees to settle. The real origin of this custom dates back to the reign of Alfred the Great, who in order to prevent disputes regarding the ownership of a swarm ordered that the owner should always ring a bell when bis bees swarmed; and, ever since then, the good farmers wife has been rushing out with ringing bells whenever tha bees swarmed, and the fact that they settled verified, in her own mind, tha belief that the bell 'did it.

The ends are two inches wide, but are made shorter than the sides, to permit the water to flow out under them. The top has only one nail or screw in it, so that it may be slid around so that one may see inside. For a pulley use a spool. As the hole in the spool will be found too large, fill It up with a wooden plug, and bore a small hole through the ping.
