She clat- tered the tstepladder back into the lib- ra_rr,_art4 she stayed there, too. .. Polly felt queer. She kept feeling queerer all the afternoon. and it was such a long afternoon! Everything went wrong, and the queerness felt no queer! . Almost an hour after Polly went to bed, mammal saw a. little pink outing flannel night-grown, creeping into the sitting-room. and the first thing she knew it was up in her tap. _ . Ralph Rogers was making a collec- tion of birds' nests. He had become interested in watching the birds while studying about them in school, and when his vacation came he began look- ing for birds whenever he had an op- portunity. " I meddled. mamma," whispered Pol- ly'ts sorry voice. ' " thought 'twould be such tun-hat it wasn't when I'd got through." Mamma looked grieved and sorrow- ful. She rocked the little pink night- gown and stroked Polly's might hair above it, for a iong time without speak- ing. But how her face talked to Pol- ""ir muddled. mamma,' reviewed the sorry little voiyt with? gob i.rt it. If! -Pour'k ire., flew open wide. " You knew it?

" Oh I" "ius disar Iknew it." said mam- ma'tr)rrysvey voit3. .. .. - Relearned a great deal about: the habits of the different kinds, and how they constructed their nests. Then later in the Season, when the baby birds had learned to fly. and the nests were of no more use to the bird tami- lies, he began his collection. He would cut down the. small branches of the tree on whiclnhe nest was hung, or dig up the bit of sod or moss on which it rest- ed, and inthis way his nests lllilllt' a fine showing. 823 collection was pruis- ed Ly the older members of the family, and by his teachers. until Ralph began to mks a great dt-al of pride in it. _ At the airm- at his wonder} he wrote aioug itstter to his grandmother who lived inthe country. telling her how he had learned during the summer months. _ Of Course one of the main things that hr told her about was his collec- lion of bird's nests. He dereribed how be hndthrown bits ot string out on the luvu, andthen had watched the urin- but come and take them and use them to weave intotheir nest on the end of the elmtrae boughs. Then after the Orioles hadleft the neat he had cut it down and kept it. . Grandma always enjoyed Ralph's let- ters, and she enjoyed this one especial- ly wvll, because she knew at once that am could give him a delightful sur- prise. . . About aweeklater Ralph received a letter from grandma, andin the same mail was a strong. square pasteboard box directed to him. "Dear Ralph: I was very glad to re- ceive Four letter. and very much inter- ested in Four collection of birds' nests. And now I have a story to tell you about a bird's nest. One day in the early summor grandpa was out on the side porch having his hair cut. Ralph remembered whit beautiful silvery- white hair grandpa bad. Of course the wind blew the bunches of hair out into ' grass. and a little while afterwards we noticed that a pair of small birds were making frquwnr trips from a tree men: by to the was“ buside the porch. /lhen we saw thit thi-y were carrying _awny the bunches of hair, and we knew Rnlph opened the letter and this is what it said: WHAT GRANDMA SENT " that they must be making a neat.

Now if you will openthe package which I have mailed to you, I think you will find something in it which you will like to add to your collection of nests. Your loving Grandma." Ralph opened the package pretty quick; after finishing tho letter, and there inside the box, attached to a small branch ofa tree, wasa little round nest beautifully made, and with the inside completely covered with soft. white hair, woven sothat it formed a part of the dainty birdrcradle. ' . "It's grandpa'a hair." Ralph exclaim- ed, as he ran to show the treasurer to mamma. And do you wonder that all the m'mhwrs (fiha famity considered that nest the chief treasure of all Ralph's collections. ma Feelings or Hilpprn II Having ('lerlcn Pause-nae" Aboard. Merchant skippers almost without exception have a great dislike to hav- ing parsons aboard. Navy men, owing to their respect for the queen's regu- lations do not care to talk on the sub- ject. The commanders of big liners are also rather shy about discussing the subject. I once wished one aplea- ant voyage, says a writer in the Church Gazette. " Pleasant voyage I" he retorted sav- agely. "That's likely, ain't it, when there'a three persons shipped, and one of them a bishop?" Here his feelings became too much tor him, and he called to the steward to refill the glasses. I wgls not sur- prised to hear that a, cylinder cover blew off in the bay., . . . "-e- " Voyage l' he replied, in heart- reading tones. " Dont call it that. I’ve never had such a dog 3 time in my life. Got two panama aboard at Sydney and another at King George‘s Sound, and blame me it two missionaries did not join at Colombo!

The misfortunes culminated in the decks being swept and three men washed overboard. One was a parson who ought to have been below. As it happened. the ship had a. partie- ularly bad voyage, and the unlucky missionaries had mow than one very near squeak for their liver. A After this, the weather suddenly abated. and the ship came safe to land. I remarked that the purson ought to have been under the batches. _ "Ah!" replied (he old 3011ng who told me.

Skippers have told me that, danger apart, parsons are not desirable pas- sengers; they interfere too much. One told me that the wife of one clerical gentlemen insisted on huliling little re- ligious tronvertsations with the stew- ards and the ore-w and giving them tracts till they nearly had amutiny.

TATTOOiNG' AN EYE', The scientific world is watching with interest the result of a surgical opera- tion recently performed at, the London Hospital, whereby a young woman's eye, which had lost its color by disease, has been tattooed back to its normal shada. _ Lottie Eggleston was a good-looking girl of nineteen when theleft side of her face was exposed. Hat, viewed from the right side, quite another pic- ture was presented, or at least it was before the surgeons took her in hand. Her right eye was almost colorless and was disfigured besides by a number of salmon patches. on the cornea.- She was admitted to the institution on Dec. 26. After a careful examina- tion the affliction was diagnosed as staphyloma. a cicatrix which had ori- ginated in the iris and had wholly re- plysed. the, cornea. Lottie begged that the surgeon should take out her eye and replace it by a glass one. The surgeons re- fused. But under the guidance of Dr. Thompson the salmon-colored patches on the. cornea were carefully cut away and replaced by pieces of equal size taken from the cornea of a rabbit. The transplanted pieces united in a few days, and Luttie'e appearance was al- ready lunch improved.. . But the surgeons wished toimprove the large white cicutrix which was disfiguring the cornea and iris. For this purpose delicate tattooing needles were specially made channelled for In- dia ink. Louie's eye was made inseuqible to pain by cocaine. and Indian ink was introduced into the white cicatrix by a number of pricks with the needle. Return long the cornea and iris were diffused with the proper tint. The operation was satisfactory and Miss Eggleston was able to leave the hospi- tal neat day with a right eye which so nearly corresponded to the dark brown left eye, that nobody would be iikely to notice the difference.

" "u ';7iria'FGU, Jane we: going to be married. The contract was all ready to be signed that very evening. and the notary, with her finance, were to come down from town by the same train in time for dinner. Jane's father lived in the country. but as the happy groom-elect wax never known to be on time in any of his appointments, Jane's papa had privately sent off a telegraphic dispatch trait an hour ago saying to the young man. "Do not come too late," so now all was in readiness." The eventful night had come, the guests for the ceremony of signing the contract had arrived and all was pre- pared. The little bride to he began to feel nervous as the hour drew near for Jean's arrival. Wheels on the drivel She flew to the door. The not- ary alone had come by the 60‘clock train-no Jean. Twenty times at least she had gone to the end of the long terrace to catch a glimpse of his ap- proach, but nothing met her view. ' 'Bah," said her father. " do not fid- get so, my child; he will come by the 8 train; he is very charming. this lover of yours. but he is always late." "Oh, papal" "Yea, yes, always behind time." ' At i? o'eloek, they sent again to the‘ station, but no Jean was there. Din-) ner was served without him, Jane try-i ing bravely to be cheerful with her guests, but as the hours passed and no lover appeared she could bear it no longer. She left the room and ran to the end of the terrace. where she could weep in solitude. but ayoung eousirr--a fine looking fellow had fol- lowed her, and said gently, " You weep, Jane,' June subbed out: "Oh, think what an effront--how can 1 face all those people f" " Do you love him so much t" _ "No, not so much now; but [was happy in being married; all my school- mates at the convent are married ar- ready."

" Have you not divined that it is I who love. who adore you, who has loved you for years; I know 1 am not a sentimental lellow like the other, but my been is yours alone." Jane thought for a moment, then said quietly, “Jacques. I believe it is you I have loved after all, without know- ing it, for as you spoke just now my heart beat with joy. Hut come, let us go to papa-the notary is here; there is nothing to do but change the name in the contract, and tu-morrow we will be married. We will leave directly " ter the wedding breakfast, and when the other comes he will find me gone." They laughed together like children, and ran to explain matters to her tattr. er, who was not quite so ready to ac- cept the situation.
