One morning when Bot'Chan was just one month old, his big brother Taxo woke up very early. The birds woke him. They were singing in the garden, "see, see see," they sang. ''Morning is here! Morning is here!" Taro heard them in his sleep. He turned over. Then he stretched his arms and legs and sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes. The candle in the tall paper lamp beside his bed had burned almost out, but it was light enough so he could" see that Take, in her bed across the room, was still asleep, with her head on her little cushion. Taro called very softly, "Take, Take, wake up." But Take slept so soundly she did not hear him. Father and mother and the baby were all asleep in the next room. He did not want to wake them, be cause it was still so early in the morning. So he crept softly along the floor to Take's bed, and whis pered in her ear, "Wake up, wake up." But she didn't wake up. Then Taro took a jay's feather which he had found in the garden the day j j ' -' V. s before, and tickled Take's nose. First she rubbed her nose. Then she sneezed. Then she opened her eyes and looked at Taro. "Sh-sh," whispered Taro. "But I haven't said a single word!" Take whispered back. 'You sneezed though," said Taro. PHOTO-FIAY8.

It will wake up our honorable parents just the same." "Well, you shouldn't tickle my poor little nose, then," said Take. "Your honorable nose was tickled so that you would wake up and hear the birds sing," said Taro. "It is much nicer than sleeping! Be sides, do you remember what is going to happen today? We are go Wff to take Bot'Chan to the temple!" A temple is something like a church, only they do not do the same things in temples that we do in our churches. The twins loved to go to the temple, because they had a very good time when they were there. They liked it as much as you like WHY? - Is the Sky Blue? After astronomers and sci entists of various kinds had puz zled over this apparently simple question for many hundreds of years, Prof. John Tyndall, a fa mous scholar of the last century, solved the mystery with the fol lowing explanation: Sunlight is pure white light, made up of rays of the seven pri mary colors which are seen in the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The sky, which is really the air which surrounds the earth, is filled with myriads of tiny specks or particles of matter which absorb some of the colors in the rays of sunlight and re-1 fleet others forming the combi nation which we have come to know as "sky blue." The varia tions in shade of this blue is due to the fact that the atmosphere is filled with different densities of' these dust-particles at differ ent times and also to the vary ing angles at which the sunlight strikes upon them. After a rain, however, the air is washed com paratively clear and the sky then appears at its true blue which we are accustomed to associate with it. If one could penetrate outside the shell of air which surrounds the earth, the "sky," instead of being blue, would ap pear to be pure white becaue there would be nothing to im pede the direct rays of the white sunlight.

I boast how I always bring home nil my salary, wipe the dishes and help with the spring cleaning. I admit my cheerful, even dispo sition and my abstinence from trivial fault-finding. I tell how I walk the floor at night with the baby so my wife can rest, how I get my own breakfast and never complain when my dinner isn't ready on time. I burble about the little attentions that I shower on my wife, the spend ing money I give her in addition to her housekeeping allowance, my de votion to her mother, and all that sort of stuff. Bot I never mention these things in my wife's hearing. It's not that I'm too modest. I'm just careful. If she heard me tell it you'd be surprised! , Copyright, l2fl, Thompaon Feature Sorvlce.)
