Japanese Twins Wake Up.
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.

"That's just as bad. 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.

do birds sing?

When Take remembered that they
were going to take Bot'Chan to the
temple, she clapped her little brown
hands. "Oh, I'm so glad!" she said.
Then she popped out from under

She was no sooner out. of bed

I'M THE GUY!
I'm the guy who is a "model hus
band." I brag about it whenever I get
someone who is willing to listen.
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!
