FLOSSIE'S AIR -TRIPS. There had been weeks and weeks of illness for Flossie; but One sunny day mama came in with hat and wraps on and looking very mysteri- ous. She went to the closet where Fiossie's things had hung limp and useless, and Flossie's eyes grew big witli wonder where she brought them out the soft, warm coat and blue hood and mittens that used to go to school every morning and go sliding down -hill afternoons and Saturdays. She came straight to the bed with them and said, "What do you say to an airing, little girl? Just hold out those arms, if you please." Flossie was so surprised stip could not lift them. They were very wab- bly, anyway, so tnamma lifted her up, and said, with a gay little smile that hold the tears•baek, "Yes, dear, you aro going to have on your wraps and take the air this morning," and she buttoned the coat over the little white gown, tied the hood .under tlbo chin and slipped the mittens on• Then Flossie and bed and all were done up in a great big blanket bundle, and the front Windows thrown . up fu,11 height. Tho frosty ale came tingling in witli the husy click of hurrying feet and aII the city's din. T1ien brother rushed in with cap, overcoat and mittens on, and his reins, with their jingling sleigh -bells, dangling from his waist. "Hello!" he said. "Is this turn- out ready to start?" and throwing the loose end of the reins over the foot of the little white bed, he pranc- ed and capered after a most spirited fashion. And Flossie laughed till. the curls began to nod once more, and mamma .said that Was enough for one time. So the windows wore whisked down and the wraps put away till the next day, when 1elossie's eyes began to sparkle a bit as 1300n as they were brought out. "Now," said mama, "this time wo aro going to have a little car ride. Here's the conductor,". and brother marched solemnly: in with a big con- ductor's cap ' on, "Whiz, whiz!" came anelectric car round the• cor- ner, and mama slipped a nickel in Flossie's hand Just as the conductor came along, taking up, the fares and dinging Mama's table -bell each time from the depths of his pocket. It was a lovely ride, Flossie said, with shining eyes, and it was so nice to hear outside things again! The next day, when ready to start, a little brown birdie flew from the c cda tree right Pant the window. Brother said, "Oh, let's take a fly!" , and flapped his "wings"' 'enough for all three, Flossie, mamma and him- self. So they flew right up Into the birdie's winter home in the big, shol- - . tering cedar, and rnatnma seemed to know all about her family, and could answer all their questions as Well as Mr's. Birdie herself, Then they drop- ped down on t)ie waving arms of the big oak and swung a while, till Enema (; bustled thein right in out of the cold. After a week of these rhtily-air trips Flossie liad gathered so many winter roses in her little white cheeks and the blue eyes' had caught so much of the sparkling sunlight from frosty roofs and snow -hung trees,, that one morning she found herself standing at the big front door, and then a little later she and dint warm wrap and biro hood and mittens Wore actually sliding 'flown -Bill, again.

Penguins aro not good eating, and the art of cookery,as practised in the Antarctic regions, has''npvor made their flesh very palatable,. But they were the stall of life of the three h oo men that winter, gkpd out he' a mouthful or two of bread each day, an occasional bite of preserved meat and the flesh of seals that were fined now and the, and whose chief utility was to supply oil for fuel, Seal blubber was piled in a large meat tin and set to blazing and smoking, and it was thus that the skins, clothing and sealskins worn by the men were turned densely black, Every one has heard of the revul- sion of stomach and nerves from which mon suffer when they try to eat a quail a day, for thirty, days. When men falter at such a task, we can imagine that nothing but the fear of death would drive them to oat the coarse and greasy penguin every day for seven months. Tho feat was accomplished and it shows what men can do when necessity, drives, But the hardest part of their lot, after all, was the protracted confine- ment during the long stormy winter. Seal blubber was too scarce to'' be Used excepting when the meals were cooked, and so for days at a time the three men curled up in their sleeping bags in the pitchy darkness, with nothing to read if they could have seen to read, and noticing to do but listen to the flowing of the polar storm. It was hard fate, but they came out of it in marvellous fashion, even though the winter left them as black as Africans. Dr. Andersson believes that a full' description of their experiences will be of service to future explorers in distress during the survey of the desolate and stormy southern lands. $IVSD Z'OR SZJVZIN 1120NTUS ON PENGUINS.

The first thing to da was to pro- vide shelter • and Bien to secure, all thegame possible before darkness put an end to hunting. They put up their tent and piled up stones so ascompletely, to en- circle the tent with a stone wall, Over thewhole they, spread the piece of tarpaulin.
