If you would notice carefully you would find that many are provided with wonderful tools, real sets of machinery, with which they make all sorts of useful things— useful for them and sometimes useful for s hi B us. A e The sifkworms have a regular spinmer | s for spinning silk and winding up the fine threads and they are spun. Men and wo- men later weave the threads into many beautiful kinds of goods to make stock- ings dresses and ties, hair ribbons and handkerchiefs, as well as many other useful and ornamental articles of dress. The little wasp has a paper mill in his body. First he picks off the finest bits of wood with his mouth, gathers them into a little bunch and then makes them into a soft paper pulp from twhich he makes the paper to build his nest. The wasp was the first paper maker in the world and the first wasp made as good paper as any wasp today. Hornets too make fine large paper houses, containing doors and windows and many cozy rooms. Notice a wasp's or hornet's nest and Many insects draw homey from the flowers much as the elephant draws water uy through his trunk. They have a pumping station that is at work all hours of the day. The mosquito has a trunk and a pair of lancets, much like a surgeon's blood letting-instruments. With the lancets hs cuts a hole in bis victim's skin than when the lancet's work is done he pumods the blood up into his mouth. He has done it so long and so indiscriminately that it is claimed for the pround insect that he has the “blood of the first families in his veins. s Then of course there Is the spider which s maker of web material and a clever builder—while the honey bees are great workers in wax of which they make the comp where they store their honey. ‘What would the boys and girls think if they were obliged to make the material of their dwelling places, to say nothing of putting it together in addition to hust- ling for their ¥ving?

They were never given enough to make them intoxicated. At first the four dogs were nearly alike. In a few months the “aicohol” dogs were quite inferfor in appearance to the other two. By the end of 18 months the “afcohol” dogs were sleepy. They would not bring back a ball when (it was thrown. If this affects dogs in 18 months, we may be sure jp injures people who use it in this way for years. So any boy, girl or grown-up people should leave aloohol absolutely alone.

One moonlight night about the 23d of December, when the pond was frozen thick the girls and boys decided to have a skating party. We all met at a small bridge, and from there started down the road withiour skates thrown over our shoulders. We reached the pond about 7 o'clock and immediately started to put on our skates. We were ready in 15 min- utes, then built & fire and had marsh- mallow roast. One girl cried out: “A race!” “It ehail be a race,” said the rest. We started off on our race, but before long my skates came off, and I had to stop o put them on again, and thus I was left behind. One girl by t2e name of Stella hed won. Indeed, she was an ex- cellent skater. We played various games until one boy said: “Eleven o'clock; we must go.* We took off our skates, put them on our shoulders, and started the road. We came to four croes s, Where we parted, bidding each a good night. ETHEL WEINTRAUB, Age 12. Leonard Bridge. Christmas Day. Dear Uncle Jed: I am going (o te you what I did last Christmas.
