MAI Y'$ "CHICKENS,"
This was the namethat Marl
gave the cunning,` fluffy little thing
when all the othells died. It was a
cold, damp spring ;• nobody could
tell what ailed the poor little chick-
ens, although everybody was so Sor-
ry and so puzzled.
"There is only one now, and it
• is so email and so' lonesome 1"
cried Mary, "Let me take care of
it in the house. I'll be just as care
full"
"She may as well," said her fa
thee.
She put him in a box of hay up
in the old chimney eupboard, and
fenced in the shelf for a little' play
yard, And she gave him meal and
water from the birds' bath -dishes.
And she did remember to fill
them both, so that the little frail
chicken grew fatter and fluffier and
saucier every minute. Its "cheep-
cheep" was as clear as any bird's
song.
By and by it because a playmate,
too, and as it was a poor little or-
phan, followed Mary all about.
Everybody in. the house laughed
when "Ohiekens" followed her ev-
erywhere in the house.
One clay Mary was sent to the
store in a hurry. Before she had
gone .very far she heard a distant
bird, as she thought, singing,
"Cheep -cheep 1 Cheep -cheep I",
"Why, that's funny/' she
and when she looked round there
was—
Why, Chickens, running as fast as
▪ his two little brown legs could carry
him, in funny little strides, and
calling "Cheep -cheep 1" which
meant, "Wait for me 1" at every
step.
But when the spring vacation was
over, and Mary went to school, a
now trouble came: The little sheik
en wanted to go to school, too.
Now, Mary, I am glad to say, had
always been punctual. 1 do not be-
lieve there was' ever a tardy -mark
against her name 1 But Chickens
came near making her late once or
twice.
But one warm day during the op-
ening exorcises, when it was quiet,
he name hopping up the steps right
into the open schoolroom door.
How the children laughed ! And
so did the teacher. She called him
up to the platform, and he just
said, "Cheep-eheepI' for a sort of
a little speech. She petted him a
little till he got rested, and then
, sent Mary home with him.
Then Mary's father said the
chicken was big enough to go to his
own school, and shut him up with
the other chickens all day.
But the school children called him
"Mary'slittle lamb" always after
that, because he "followed her to
school one day."—Youth's Come

IS HOLLAND SINKING E
Dutch Engineer .Says It Sinks
Eight Inches Every 100 Years.
Geologists have of late years
come to the conclusion that the
entire central European plain,
• which extends from southwestern
France 'through thelow countries
and north Germany to the, Russian
Baltic provinces, is slowly sinking.
The lowest •section of this great
coastal region is that part of Hol-
land which lies from fifteen to
twenty feet below sea level and has
to be protected by immense ,dams
and dykes against the danger of
'being submerged. '
A Dutch, engineer named Ten
Cate has studied this subject and
he deals with Holland's clanger at
length in De Ingenieur, it Dutch
technical paper. His investigations
go beck 2,000 years, and his con-
clusion is that the Dutch coast line
sinks eight inches every 100 years.
This does nob seem' very' alarming,
but every little counts in a nountry
which lies' naturally so low as the
Dutch coastal ,provinces. : Besides
there is no justification for assum-
ing that the settling down process
•will always bo regular, and a Aid -
e'en subsidence would be a very
grave matter indeed.
Ten Cate proves his assertions by
, pointing to the situation of remains.
of Boman settlements in the Low
Countries, which he calculates
must now lie from live to fifteen
feet below their origingi level. They

Sufficient data exist for the last
100 years accortline to which the
i;nbs!cleneo, ,i the Dutch littoral
can be figured out to a nicety, and
for that period it amounts to 30
centimeters, or about 14 1-2 inches.
A further indication of the,lower-
ing of Hollaiiel's level is the fact
that the low hills or mounds to
which as We as the Middle Ages
people and their cattle used to flee
for eafety at flood times would not
now afferel the necessary protec-

INDIGESTION MUM
RUED STAYS R SYS CURED
Not by Treating the Symptoms
but by Tatting up the Stomach
to do i ature's Work
Indigestion should pot be neglect-
ed, for by depriving the body of its
ProperQnourishment it grows stead-
ily worse, Neither stimulating
medicines, which ruin the already
weak stomach by making it work be-
yond its strength, should be used,
nor predigosted foods! which do not
excite a flow of the digestive 'fluids,
and by disuse cause the stomach to
grow weaker. Nowhere is the tonin
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills more clearly useful. Its prin-
ciple is to enable the stomach to d'o
its own work by building up the
blood and giving tone to the
nerves. When these are once more
restored to their normal health in-
digestion disappears and the oure
is permanent. - In proof of these
statements we give the experience
of Mrs; Paul Gannon, Star City,
Sask., who says : "For more than a

Another scientist holds that the

that he had found a clue to the

Laurence Jerrold, himself an Eng-

Only in Paris life' sparkles like
this, free from extinguishing cares,
responsibilities, convaentions, pre-

a Paris of crock -like consistency and.
