In fact, nothlnjr seemed too much for Carrie to do for thone do, hor roal pots. . One day Tiny, the youngoRt, was mlsnlng. There waa a groat hunt for him at once, and every place that could be thought of wa searched, but all In vain: no Tiny wng dlnpovrod, and Carrie was In much V.mlrrn. Thi achool hour came and Carrie loft homo with a end heart, fearing that j aomothlng dreadful had happened to Tiny. Carriers mother-heart was much worried about her little pet. While Carrie wna In school she thought or one piae lnio wnicn iney nan not looked; and after she thought of that her lessons did not have much chance. It seemed as though the noon hour that day neve would come. Hut It came, of course, and Carrie fairly ran home. Not stopping for dinner, and hastily dropping hor hat and books In the hall, Carrie ran to the cellar, and there was Tiny, crying almost like a baby that felt neglected nnd needed Its mamma. How Tiny had gotten Into the cellar nobody could tell. Carrie fjilily shouted with gVe ns she plrked up Tiny and brought him . to her other pets. Everybody had to llnten to the story of how little Tiny was lost nnd found. . As for Tiny, he looked as though he had reason to be ashamed thnt be had caused so much trouble to the household, and If he - opuld have talked he would no doubt have said thnt he would never again seek the cellar when, so much better quarters were provided for him. Minneapolis Tribune. The ChlneaeVhaby, When a Chinese baby Is a month old It Is gjven Its first public reception, and nil Its relatives and friends are expected to send presents. The mother holds It kicking and screaming, while1 Its head Is shaved. It Is then given Its first or "milk name," which Is supposed to last only till It enters school. TheRft names . are often fanciful and poetic. Olrls are called "IJvely Autumn," Pure Flower," "Lucky Pearl," "Golden larp" and "Jade Transparent." The boys may receive names meaning dog, nea or bog, or they may be merely numbered In rotation of birth, one, two, three. Some are luckier, receiving such lofty appella tions as Wu Ting Fang, the name of the former Chinese minister at Washington, which means "fragrant palace," or JA Hung Chang, "Illustrious bird." Often the "milk name" sticks to Its owner through out life. ( Peter PntT-and-HloTT.

"Dearie, dearie," trilled Hobin to his mate, as they swung to and fro on the bough of the old maple tree. "We have come too sncn from our winter home In tho south. What shall we do? There is not .a straw or a string to be found with which to build our nest, and it is so cold I fear we shall freeze," nnd Robin, flying to the ground, hopped about, scolding us hard as robins can scold. Someone who understands bird talk must have overheard them, for the next day when the robins returned, there, on a branch of the old tree, were many bits of string fluttering In the breeze, nnd with a "cheer-up, cheer-up," of delight, thoy nt once began the building of their llttlo home. When it was finished, which whs quite soon, for our little friends worked busily, the happy birds went to housekeeping. Soon there were four bluisli white eggs In that little home nest, and for several weeks nothing was seen of Robm's wife, for she was keeping the eggs warm, so that by and by there would be some baby robins. Dear little mother bird! How pntientTy she sat in the nest while Papa Kohln swung on a branch nearby, cheering nnd singing to her In his bright little voice. Finally, one morning, a great chirping and thrilling was heard in the nest In the old maple tree, and if you could have peeped In you would huve seen four little baby robins, with Mamma Robin watching over them. And tieu you would have seen Robin, who had been out to get some breakfast for his family, come flying home, und with much Importance, begin feeding tho bubies, who opened their mouths obediently at his chirp, while he dropped the food Into them from his bill. It was not long after this until the young robins were able to fly, and, one by one they left their home, und at lust the nest in the old ninple tfee was deserted. Do you not hope, Uttle ones, that our feathered friends will come ugain next spring'.' Child Garden. SNOW FLAKE TheliUle red label oneVeryrloaf is the badge of good bivad.

The Iluy anil the Gray Gooae. There is no greater gift which a fairy godmother could bestow on a child than tact. It would serve him to the end of his days. Fortunately, however, this desirabio quality la one which may be cultivated. Tact is a hurd thing to explain. It is best understood by giving un example of a per son who is lacking in this distinguishing property. la a little town not far from Philadel phla lives an aged lady who owns a tall gray goose. In the same town a multi millionaire has set bis palace, and his son. a buy about l'i or 14 years old, is un object of wonder and subject for conversation wherever he goes On his r am bit s about the town he ob served tne gray goose, and became much interested in the manner in which it uc compunled tho little old lady about the garden, lie thought ho should never weary of watching It cock up its head, strut pompously ubout and hiss at the upprouch ot u, stranger. So he asked his father if he would buy him the gray goose, und his father said "yes." 1 Tho next day the boy went to the lady'sN house. She opened the door and bude him good morning. "I came for the goose," he blurted out. I don t understand what you mean," she said. "I came for the goose," he repeated. "But why do you come for the goose?" "I told father I wanted it," explained the boy, "und he said I could have It. He said whatever you wanted for it would be all right." Now, the little old lady was poor, more over she was growing tired of the gray goose und its Hnpertinence. Under ordinary circumstances she would have been most glad to sell lilmj but the boy'a want of tact enraged her. "Go home," aha cried, "and tell vour father he hasn't got enough money to buy you the gray gooje." The Duel.
