The School Report.
In Reading i am "Good," it says;,
In Spelling, "Excellent";
And always in Geography
I got a high per cent.
I'm "Good," too, in Arithmetic,
In Music and the rest;
And father says he's glad to know
In school I do my best.
But then he shakes his head, and says
Ile wonders how 'twould be
If teacher asked him to make out
A "Bone Report" for me,
There's "Rising Early," "Bed on
Time,",
And "Minding Promptly," too;
And "Table Weys" and "Cheerful-
ness,"
'And "Little Things to Do."
In some, perhaps, I might get "Good";
In others, I am sure
My marks would not be more than
"Pair,"
And some would be just "Poor."
Bobbie's Pictures.
Bobbie came and leaned against
his brother Will's knee. "Mother
brought me these picture papers!' he
said. "And I should like to have little
Ted see them. I promised that he
should see them, but if I send them
to him, they'll all have to be burned,
because he has the measles."
"Run and ask Nellie to give you a
piece of paraffin" said his brother.
"A piece from a jelly tumbler will
do—if ft is washed clean."
Away Bobbie ran to the kitchen,
and he soon returned with the paraf-
fin. He was eager and interested.
"Now," said Will, "take this piece
of plain white paper and rub it all
over with the paraffin. Be sure that
the paper is well covered. Lay the
paper on the picture with the paraf-
fin side down. Now take this little
wooden block, or anything that has a
sharp edge, and rub the paper as
hard as you can without tearing it."
"Oh, oh!" laughed Bobbie, as he
turned the paper over. "The pictures
have all come off on the white paper,
and they're not blurred at all! See
how plain they are! Will they come
off like that every time?"
"It is easier to transfer pictures
from rough paper, like newspaper and
the kind most of the magazines are
printed on," said Will, ."but if you
rub on plenty of paraffin you can
transfer a picture of any kind."
"Now," said Bobbie, "I can send
our best pictures to Ted, and I need
not core if they are burned."—Youth's

After 2 Years' Useless Treatment.
The healing power of Zara -Buie is so
much greater than that of other oint-
ments, that it has cured in many eases
when all other ointments have failed.
Otte such instance is that of Mr, Earle
B. Gardiner, of Marquis, Sask., who
writes: " For two years I suffered
with a bad attack of salt -rheum on my
feet. During those two years.I tried
every known remedy, but could find
nothing that would etre the disease.
Then I heard of Zam-Buk, and com-
menced using 1t. After the first few
opplioations I noticed an improve-
ment, and this encouraged me to con-
tinue. Although I had suffered for
two years, after only two months'
treatment with Zam-Duk I am cern

Last June, says the Scottish Na-
turalist, great masses of floating oil,
supposed to have come from a torpe-
doed ship loaded with lubricants, ap-
peared along the east coast of Scot-
land. At Kingsbarns the thick- brown
stuff covered the reeks and lay seven
inches deep in the crevices. The
keeper of the lighthouse on the Isle
of May reported that large sheets of
oil had drifted to the island, and that
all the creeks toward the sea were full
of it. At Cambo, at Largo Bay, and
round the shores of Fife the oil also
appeared. At all those places the sea
birds suffered tl an extraordinary de-
gree. Guillemots, razorbills, and puf-
fins died in enormous numbers. The
eider ducks also suffered. Dead birds
were lying all along high-water mark.
Large numbers of dazed birds sat
about on the rocks with their feathers
matted with oil. They were unable
either to fly or to dive, and in the end
starved to death.
