" 1 don't care for Swimming," said the

the first day of leaving that nest, and the
mother bird wits very prowl of the flourieh»

with wild flowers and raehes bending down
upon it. It wee so 000l and ahatly there
through the hot summer day; except when,
quite early it the morning, the Stin'a ram'
glinted down between the birch trees on the
bank.
The pair had agreed it was time for the
children to take to water—at lean for some
of them—so while the father bird remained
in the pest with those who were hatched,
later, the mother turned. out with the older
ones,
Two were already enjoying the water, but

But the young duckling did not see and
he would not listen. He only flopped hie

A ramous Trick.
Robert Heller, the famous magician, who
died a few years ago used to exlaibit with
delight one Wok of whith he wale very
proud. He would step to the front of the
platform, holding out at arm's length, a
small bird.cage, in vehicle hopped and chirp-
ed a live sparrow. Extending the cage
above his head, and greening it with both
hands, he would say,—
" Ladies and gentlemen, -sou see ties e age.
It is a rail cage'isn't it 1 You see the bird.
It is a real bird, mint it ? Now watch me
Monty. The moment I snap my fingers,
the cage and bird will vanieh into thin air."
He would toe snap his fingers, and both
cage and bird would disappear, leaving not
so ranch as a feather behiudi
Cale ert, a F emelt wonder -worker, heving
hea d of the birdo age tri k, determined to
distoverita nerd. He came te the rer-
forraance one evening armed weak a power-
ful opera -mase. Just as Heller 'mapped
upon the platforromeith the cagein• his hands,
Calvert called out,—
" Put the cage down on the table, Or bold

Heller made a retisemehlo exam for not
doing anything of the kiwi, end illtreetliate•

row night, andyou shall aee it"
"'Very well,, " said Heller. If you can
perform the trick, you are the only livirg
person, beanies myself, who can do it,"
Heller went to the evening performance,
and took a front seat. After the tumid tticka
witb cards and pletola heel been performed,
Calvert came forward with a birdmage, In
which could be seen a small tied fluttering

you its any own, when I tramp my Comers,

Looking directly at Heller, with a amile,
Calvert napped Ina fingers, and the bird.
cage vanished.
.At Heller's death the method of making
the cage and cawing it to dieaapear, wale
disclosed
The cageanade of the finest end most del.
Mate wire; were eeparated into two com-
partmenta by a thin partition. Then two
compartments were held together by minute
but powerful springs, which were made to
open by preeeing two wine, one on each
aide of the mtge.
The two wires were held. by the performer
between hie thumb and finger, as he extend-
ed the cage at arratolength. Each, compart.
meet of toe cage was so made that when the
springs which held them together were
locesened, the compartments would collapse,
or fold up, tete a very email compass.
Attached to each side of the cage, close by
the wires held by the fiuger and thumb of
the performer, were stout elivetio cords run-
ning up the inside of Heller's aleeves, and
fastened at eome point above hie elbow%
The bird chosen for the cage was one of
the smelled varietioa of eparrows and he
was placed in the compartment to which the
partition belonged.
Suppoee the performer now ready to ex-
hibit the cage. Ha stems out, holding it up
at arrneelength. The elastic: bandst being
on the inner side of his ban& and wrists, are
not perceived by the audience. He maps
hie fingers, that is, he preens the wires
whit:111ot tho oage fall apere ; each aide col-
lapses, and the force of the tightleastretthed
rubber pulls each section of the cage up the
performer's sleeves.
Tho bird ie drawn up with the aide in
which it was placed, and, strange to say, is
not often seriously injAred by the operation.
Every part of this trick requires the ut-
most skill and the moat delicate handling in
every detail to make it auccessful. The fact
that Heller performed the trick hundreds of
times before attentive audithoes, without
betraying the secret of it, shows to what an
extent attention to details may enable a
man to triumph over the seemingly impos-
sible.

" That's pretty," said Ruth.
Are you sure you uaderstand It?" ask -
a her mother.
"1 understand that—of course I do," an-
swiired Ruth, surprised that her mamma
should doubt her. '"Nature' means all

and toms and everything you see out there."
"You darling child 1 you do underatand

ber little girl a fond kiss.

"All alone, dear? Don't you want some
one to read to'you?" for Ruth could not reed
printed books very well, and always asked
mamma or Arnt Lucy to read to her; she
said she understood better so.
"Oh, I Call read easy lesson(' out -doors,"
she said; so her mother tied on the white
sun -hat and the little girl tripped away into
the garden.
When she came in, a long time after, she
meted hereelf on a little benoh at her moth-
er's feet "Now, dear mamma, let me tell
you about the stories. The first was ants
they made hills all along the walks, and
were ao busy every minute bringing grains
of sand to make the hill higher; and there
wasn't one t hat didn't work—not one little
naughty ant that said 'I won't' or '1 don't
want to.' "
"Then I saw bees—the bees that gather
honey all the day from every opening flow-
er ;' they were busy too."
"Like the ants ?''
"They were better than the ants, Manse
they sang all the time—not like the birds,
but they hummed and buzzed, and it sound-
ed real nice, they seemed so happy.
"Then there were the applea—the little.
children apples—green and small and hard
and sour. They are not good for much till
they are big • men -and -women apples --ripe
and sweet. The story -book said, 'Little
children aren't worth much now, but let 'em
be ; by and by they'll be grown up, and
then they'll be good for something."
,,,The mother smiled : "1 think your book
was very interesting, Ruthie, and you can
read it better than I thought. Anything

"There Wee a beautiful story about dai-
sies. When I was out this morning they
were all looking over to grandpa's, butafter
dinner they looked straight up to the sky,
just as if they were praying; now they are

The dread sentence fell on a deadly
silence, during which one gentleman seated
by the solicitors' table put down his head
and wept bitterly, whilst surprise was de-
picted on every face in court, and the prison-

Mrs. Goodman could recover articulation
she was forcibly removed from the court,
only to burettin again, however, and address
his Lordship from Mr. Featherstone's, table.

sured the unhappy woman. "My heart
bleeds for you, but I MIA here as i judge.
I have only done my duty, and relief to you
must come from the executive." Mrs.
Goodman was then gently led from the
court, to the head of the stairway forming
the public means of access. Here again,

heart was melted almost to tears, and many
a heart bent low with compassion, as she
turned from one to another with the same
wild imploring ory for aid, and each felt
how utterly powerless he was in such a case.
As the intense, and maddening first sense
of leer grief wore off, she allowed herself to
be led down the stairs, and home, giving
probably an absolutely true history of the
whole use on the stairway. "My boy isn't

have insulted a child until he took that ac-
cursed drink with the other two."

vain effort to see their boys, or to meet his
Lordship, and by him to intercede with the
executive for them. After waiting, how-
ever, for Nome hours, and not being able to
pass the cordon of constables, they gave up
the attempt and retired. Throughout the
city the news of the sentence spread rapidly,
wherever two or three met together the sub-
ject of conversation was the doom of the
convicts, and every where expression of
approval of the severe eentence were beard,
