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 Companion. w 'b LED SOLDIERS INTO A BOG.

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 pletely cured."

A Bird Tragedy. 1 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.
