Perhaps this case was coincidence., However, Prince Troubetskoy, the as- tronomer, who investigated and recorded it, did not think so. ‘The family of the celebrated Italian music publisher, Ricordi, was concerned in the case, as well as some friends of the family, a Signor and Signora| X——. All were residents of Milan, Where the music publishing house was famous. ‘The Ricordis lived at No. 1 Via Ome- noni, in a building which housed several apartments. The top floor was occu- pied by the sister of Ricordi, AmeNa, ‘whose husband was a well known archi- tect. Her son, also an architect, early achieved success, winning a world-wide competition for the best design for a new facade of the Catheiral at Milan. This talented young man died, how- | ever, before having given full expression to his abllity. In the month of February, 1899, Sig- nora Amelia was sericusly ill. Her si uation was so painful that an attendant stayed with her constantly to admin- ister whatever relief was possible. On the floor beneath lived Signor and Signora X——. Under them, on the lower floors, lived the Ricordis. On_ the evening of February 18 a g‘xld production ' was given at the . Signor X—— had obtained seats, but as the hour for the perform- ance approached Signora X——became BEDTIME STORIES Farmer Brown’s Boy Angry.

There were signs warning hunters and trappers that no hunting or trapping would be allowed, there, and Farmer Brown's Boy felt that these signs would be respected. He himself would respect such a sign on the land of another, and so he expected his own signs to be respected. One Baturday afternoon he had some spare time and decided to go down to the Smiling Pool. “I want to see how Jerry Muskrat and his family are get- ting along.” he explained to Bowser the Hound. “You’ll have to stay behind: this time, old fellow; for you would be sure to scare Jerry or any other mem- bers of his family who leh‘bE about.” So Bowser mournfully watched his master trudge across the Green Mead- MENU FOR A DAY.

Burgess. ows toward the Smiling Pool. In his pockets were carrots and apples, which he intended to scatter for the Musk- rats. It was a little before dusk, which is the time when Jerry and his family and friends delight to come out. Farmer Brown’s Boy sat down on an old log back of an alder bush. It was a favor- ite place. Many times had he sat there watching Jerry Muskrat going about his business and not once suspecting that he was being watched. ‘The Smiling Pool was like a sheet of glass. Not a ripple stirred its placid surface anywhere. Prom the farther side the Black Shadows were beginning to creep out. Presently a faint, pleasant odor of musk reached the nose of Far- mer Brown's Boy, and he smiled. Jerry or Mrs. Jerry or some member of the family must be near. “ Then he heard faint splash up the Laughing Brook. moment or two later a brown head appeared ‘moving out into. the Smiling Pool. It was. headed toward the Big Rock. “That isn't Jerry,” thought Farmer Brown’s Boy. “It isn't quite big enough for Jerry. It must be one of his chil- dren. Hello! Here comes another!” Sure enough, arother Muskrat was swimming out from Jerry Muskrat’s house. He was swimming straight to- ward Farmer Brown's Boy. Just beyond the alder, behind which the latter was sitting, was a little landing plac>, made long ago by Jerry Muskrat. It was to- | ward this that the swimmer was headed. | Farmer Brown’s Boy held his breath, or almost held it. He took care not to as a finger. It was very still there, and he heard faint squeaks from 4p the Laughing Brook and down the Laughing Brook across the Smiling Pool. The Muskrats were talking. He wished he could understand what they said. Of one thing he was certain, and this was that they did not suspect his presence. There wasn't a suggestion of m:piclon or fear in those sqeuaky voftes. g The swimmer coming toward him was very near now. Perhaps he would come out on that little landing. He was so near now that.that queéer tall rapidly moving from side to side mlg be plainly seen. It was & young Muskrat, Farmer Brown's Boy could tell this by his size and appearance. “"He must be one of Jerry's last fam- ily,” thought Farmer Brown's Boy. “Probably he'll spend the Winter in that house over there with his father and monm-,';) s + _Just then young Muskrat reached the little landing and started to climb out. He made hard work of it. He was clumsy. Farmer Brown's Boy thought this queer. Then the young Muskrat turned as he sat up, and Farmer Brown’s Boy saw that he had only a stump where one of his front legs should have been. A wave of anger swept over Farmer Brown’s Boy. “Some one has been trapping here,” he thought. “I must look into this. Poor little fellow! How you must have suffered before you g0t free from that trap. If I can catch that trapper, he'll wish he never had set a trap.

Children are naughty at times. They seem to cnoose the most inopportune times. If we have company, if we take them put, they misbehave. That is not thei* fault. Children are easily fatigued. In the first place they have not the reserve energy that Wn-up people have. They use theirs as it comes and before they know what is happening the sup- ply is exhausted and they are in dis- tress. Naughtiness is usually the re- sult of such fatigue. Strange conditions tire children. ‘They have to put out far more energy in a new situation than they would in s familiar one. It will not weary a child to visit the grandmother he sees every other day, but it will exhaust him to go a short distance to see one he does not see more than once a year. These things must be taken into con- sideration. Changing & childs bedtime is a strcng factor in this sort of trouble. The child’s body is set for a certain space of time and when that time passes he lets down. He has to. Chang- ing any bodily habit fatigues a child. Any new situation for great ex- ertion on his part and fatigues him greatly. The adult may be quite fresh and wonder what ails the child. What ails him is the difference in the reserve store of energy. The adult has much, the child, none. < Fatigue brings on all sorts of trouble. The child will be cross. He will fight and howl. Perhaps he will dance about and laugh loudly. In any case he will pay no attention to anything snybody says to him. He has lost control of himself. Nobody else has any at this time. The only thing to do is to lay hold of him, escort him to a quiet place, soothe him as well as one can and get him to bed. = It is not wise, 1t certainly will not help, to spank a tired child.
