The story of the misfortunes that overtook the man who'had to mind the house is an Old one, and appears in many forms; Here is an excellent form oe the story in verse, John Gp ntlle swore by the light of the moon And the green leaves on the tree, That he could do more work in a day Than his wife could do in three, Iiis wife rose up in the morning With cares and troubles enow; "John Grumlie, bide at hanre, John, And I'll gag haud the plow. "First ye maim dress four children fair, And put them a' ie their gear; And 'Ye maun turn the malt, John, Or else yell spoil the been.. And ye maun reel Uig tweel, John, That I span yesterday; And lie maun ca' in the hens, John, Else they'11 a' lay away." 0, John did dresa his children fair, And put them a' in their gear; But he forgot to turn the malt, And so he spoiled the beer. And he sang aloud as he reeled the tweet That hie wife span yesterday; . But he forgot to put no the hens, And the hens a' laid away. John Grunrlie's wife came haute at e'en, And laughed as sl'e'd been ntad When she saw the house in such a plight And John so glum and sad. Quoth he: "I'll give up my house- wifeskep, I'll be no more gude wife," "Indeed," cluoth she, "I'm well content That ye keep it the rest o' your life!"

In many part of rural England dur- ing late August' and early •September, one may hear a church bell being rung morning and evening at times when no services aro being held. This is the "gleaning bell," which was once sounded in practically all villages and hamlets throughout the countryside at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., as soon as the harvest was sufficiently_ advanced, to "tell the villagers when they might' begin gleaning and when they must cease. The custom still lingers ,even though the modern machine -rake leaves less' wheat to - be gleaned thau did the old hand -rake. Indeed, the high price of bread, in comparison with what it was betore the war, has led to a -revival of glean- ing. In accordance with the old custom, wherever the 'gleaning bell is . rung, a penny for the whole period is paid to the bell-ringer' by each: family in the pariah that goes, gleaning.

Seated early one waT,in September evening on a hotel verandah in that cenntry,"tloms tourists were compaa•ing the strange creatures they had seen. When they hard talked awhile a native of the place volunteered to introduce theta-. t0- another curiosity ,0f' natural history -that they might add to their collection. So at is• invitation they followed him down to a mountain stream that emptied into the lake close by. It was only a yard or so wide, but it shot down over its steep course in a tremendous hurry to reach the lake. Close under the bank lay what seemed to be reddisir stones, from eight •to twelve inches long. The tourists were told to walk quietly: to the edge, kneel down; place their hands slowly in.the water, :then' Just as deliberately to grasp those red things, keeping their hands carefully towards the end point- ing upstream, To' their amazement-- they mazemerit- they found lin lifting their prize from the water that they lead a "kicltninnie," a species of trout, and not, stone at all, The fun had started.'' Never be- fore had they caught a fish with noth- ing but their bare 'hands, and in less than half an hour the three 'nen had caught enough for the breakfast of the guests at the small hotel. The kicicninni° begin' to rise from the lake bottom when. the September moon begins to show, and the -"run'' is most numerous as 'ihe: moon be - conies full. Then.gradually they de- crease in number. At no other time of the year. are they' to be roan. They will not bite et a hook; so they are never caught in the lake. Some people say, they are a deep -water fish and that they conte from the depths for the spawning season' only. • They dart with wonderful swiftness up: the current and come to rest in a pool for.• a few minutes, then on up again, taking .ad- vantage of stones and twigs to clamber up the rapids of the stream till they can go no farther. Tho boys go out at night to these stream•, with lanterns' and gaff the Reit es they dart by for the kickninniee prefer to go up by moonlight rather than in the daytime. This practice of gaffing had to be stopped, as the fish were so' easily caught that it was fear• - ell they would be exterminated. One "old-timer" used to build a dam across the stream and catch them by the hundreds to ,spread as a fertilizer on his land. IIo took for his own wants what he could use,. salted 'down what he needed for a winter supply, and the rest he spread about under his bleach and apple trees.' Now, however, the law forbids any such wasteful lase of the fish,' which without some"proteo- tion of the sort would unquestionably become extinct. T" "A Nixie." What is a Nixie? It is a piece of mail so incorrectly or incompletely ad- dressed, or so improperly prepared that it can not be delivered or returned without special treatment, and it goes to the post -office hospital for an opera- tion. It differs from' a dead. letter in that a dead leter, parcel, or circular can neither be delivered nor returned, and goes to the post -office morgue for burial. See that your letter 1s not a "'Nixie."

She was a diligent. huntress and provided well for her growing families. Ona day, when she brought in a, mouse her two kittens get hold of it at the same time, and neither would let go.
