BONNER TAARY, GRAHAM BONNER A FIELD NIGHT. ‘Although the boy and-the girl had taken.along no tent with them when they ‘had gone forth for adventures, they had fared very well. Now _that it was night™they found that some beds had been put in the fleld for thenm by the great bedmakers 1, Rest and Company. They had ‘had such a fine: party which . bad: been' given by Master Thoughtfulness, alded by the many good friends they had met on their Journeys. . They-had had a dioner and an en- tertalnment . in’ the, valley. Just. then , they heard eMaster Thoughtfulness speak. to them. “P've just said good-by to the guests and have seen them to the road as a polite host should do. eidld Master i Thoughfulness, laughing. “I'm pay- ing myself compliments, eh? ' They did flatter me so this evening. I sup-| pose T am dolng a little of it myself. Well, I'll have to go and see Madame False Vanity. That's what I will bave tq do. ‘We'll be two of a kind if I don’t look out.” “Madame False Vanity,” said the girl. “What does she look like? But how absurd, Master : Thoughtfulness, to say that you need %o see her. ot course’everyone complimented you this evening and you deserved the compll- ments. -You thought ‘of everything for everyone.” .-, % “T wish we colild call on Madame False Vanity,” sald-the boy. “She “Sometimes I'm Rather Vain."” sounds rather different from most of our friends. It might be nice to have a look at her, mightn't it?" “All right,” said Master Thought- fulness, “I'll take you.. We can go and see her tomorrow and she will tell out fortunes.” “Oh, does she tell fortunes?” asked the bhoy. “That will be fun. Maybe she will tell me whether I'll become a leader or not. Oh, if she doesn’t tell me that I will feel dreadful.” “Now boy,” said Master Thought- fulness, “I will take you to Madame False Vanity, but you must know what sort--of person she is, first. “Neither of ‘you, I am thankful to say, are her sort, and I don't™believe I am either. I am too busy to ever become really vain, I have too much to think about. “But Madame False Vanity does a 1ot of harm by her fortune telling. So many believe that what she says is true, and of course she is only guess- ing’ and making up aend flattering. She has a lot of luck with her flat- tery.” * égometimes I'm rather vain," said the girl. “I've strutted before my glass and admired myself, as the boy can tell you.” w ol “Ah, but the boy -didn’t tell mel He's not a tattle tale. And that re- minds me that Mr. Wood Elf wants to take you tomorrow to visit the Tat-| tle-Tale-Twins. He thinks you might | do them good. You both.might show them a thing or-two. “So we'll have to see about bed now, for tomorrow you've two engagements. / We'll see Madame False Vanity in the ‘morning~and you can go with Mr. Wopd Elf to. see the Tattle-Tale Twins In the afternoon, Il tell him that will be a good time for'you to go. 1¢t's all on the bumpy road which leads to the House of Secrets. One finds ‘all these creatures along the way, the iood creatures and the bad ones, the nrean. ones and the kind omes—all m!l.’mt I'm talking too much, We'l have breakfast in this field at ten ©o'clock; for you-need a good rest. And besides it would never do to call upon Modame False Vanity, before eleven o'clock. She would never be up be- fore!" he laughed.- - /£ ! ——— Look for Hidden Good.

After baking, the specialists can.study the welight, volume, color, and texture of the bread and record of results: ob- talned from the sample of wheat that was used. There g ror in making thése comparisons, as all the samples are treated exactly alike; the milling operations are care- fully duplicated and the same recipe 1s used in mixing the bread and bak- ing it. The volume test 1S made by plac- ing .the baked loaf in & vessel of known cubical content. Flaxseed, which, finds its way into every crev- ice and does not cling to-the loaf, is poured in around the loaf until the vessel is full. The quanity of flax- seed used is then measured, and the ‘difference in volume of the vessel and the volume of the flaxseed needed to flll the crevices between the sides of the loat and the wall of the receptacle represents the volume of'the loaf. It is surprising to nois the difference in voltime of two loaves made from dif- ferent varietles of wheat. BARRED THE OVERHEAD SIGN Authorities of City of -London Pro. hibited the Projecting. Nuisance in Eighteenth Century. Many things/to which we are now so thoroughly accustomed that they seem natural and obvious took the world 8 long time to think’of, observes Everyday Science. Numbering the houses or shops in a street as a means of identifying them Seems a very sim- ple device, but nobody thought of. it | until well on in the Eighteenth century. Until then they got on as’'well as they could with no numbers, and -in London streets, like Cheapside, every shopkeeper: tried to outdo his rivals in.the size and grandeur of: his sign- board.\They projected over the street, and every now and then fell down and killed” somecbody. They creaked and | groaned terribly ‘whenever the wind blew, and it shows what a nuisance they were that within a year of house numbering being introduced signboards which projected from the walls were prohibited. The first London street to be num- tered in March, 1764, was New Bur- lington street, and the’ next Linceln's Inn Fields. o 3 \ 3 The Best Will Take Most Polish., (|, In the handful of shingle which you gather from the sea-beach, which’the indiscriminate sea, with equality of fraternal foam, has only educated to be, every one, round, you will see little difference between the noble and mean, stones.

Wonderful Measurement. Persons who are devoting them- gelves to the science of meum—fi!g the small things of the universe will best=, appreciate the achlevement credited to Prof. Pedersen of Copenlingen uni- versity, who is sald to have invented a method by which he can measure the thousand-millionth part of a:second.
