W"h!eh of the summer sounds
Is sweetest to tired hearts?—
The low. unwearying hum
Of the bee in the clover bed?
The hymn of the thrush at dusk?
R Jlr.s that call in tne rain?
Cool waves slipping away
From the boat as she sails through the
sea?
Whisper of wind in the wheat?
Or. from the fresh-smelling field
When the heaven is thick with her stars.
The cricket's comforting chirp
Telling of welcome and home?
H"'">t winds bearing the noise
Of a city's traffic and cries.
And from the little square
The voices of children in song
Hundreds of children at play.
Circling and singir.g their giee;
Glad In the gift of to-day.
The sunshine and warmth of the earth,
The joy c-f youth but begun:
Chorus of mirth and good will,
Childhood's treble of hope—
This i.s the summer sound
The swt^ttst the tired heart knows

The dog's wardrobe includes such ele-

A Neat Parlor Trick.
This is a neat and effective trick
to perform before a company of men.
women and children, from whom you
can borrow the few materials you
need. These are a silver half dollar,
a large wire hairpin, a heavy ring, ]
and a long hatpin or "stickpin."
Bend the hairpin into the shape |
«hown in the picture. Force the half
dollar into the narrow hook on one
end of the hairpin, which hook you
have pinched well together so that it
will grip the coin tightly, and hang
the ring on the other, more open hook.
Now balance the coin at a point near
its edge and in line with the two

hooks, on the point of the hatpin,
which you hold vertically in your left
hand.
You can nearly always make it bal-
ance on some point, but to make the
trick effective the pin should be very
near the edge of the coin, so if the
ring is not very heavy you may have
to borrow another one and slip it in
the hook beside the first. Or you
can use a light ring and tubstitute a
quarter for the half dollar.
Now, if you blow against the ring
the whoie affair will turn on its pivot
and by giving a good puff every time
the ring comes round you can make
it spin very fast and keep on spinning
a long time. If the hatpin is very
sharp and of very hard steel it will
gradually bore a hole in the coin. In-
deed, it is possible to bare clear
through a soft coin in this way.
Of course you should practice this
trick before you try it in public.
Then, if the ring is a brass one and
the coin your own. you can give your
merry-go-round to the youngsters, who
will have lots of fun with it.
Wardrobe of Mr. Dog.
In Paris they have come to look up-
on the dog as a member of the family
and to study his dress almost as care-
fully as if he were one of the children.
There are dressmakers who design
garments for dogs only, and every s
son brings its row canine

How the Hooks Are Placed.
a line should be responded to by the
fisherman, who must pull hard enough
to jerk the barb of the hook through
the very tough fiber of the mouth.
With this in mind a fisherman has
better chances with this device than
one with the plain hook.
Each hook should carry a very small
piece of bait, nicely covering the point
and barb. The bottom hook can carry
the attractive bait, but the others are
used i* catch the fish.

hanging from the porch of a country
house.
All you have to do is to saw away a
part of the barrel, as the picture
shows, and screw four stout screwcyes
into the four sides of the barrel. To
these are fastened ropes, which meet
above on an iron ring which comes
just above the head of the person sit-
ting in the swing.
The barrel head is fitted into the
bottom half as a seat, and may be
covered with cushions or left bare.
Blind Boys' Football.
Football and many other outdoor
games are played by the blind, certain
changes being made so that in each
game the sense of hearing takes the
place of sight, says the Baltimore Her-
ald.
In football, for instance, a tiny bell
ia fastened to the ball, and by the
bell's tinkle the ball's location is de-
termined.
The blind delight in races of all
sorts. They do not run toward a
tape, as the seeing do, but toward a
belt that jangles briskly.
It is odd to see the blind at their
games. They play gravely, and they
maintain a profound silence, for if
they made a noise the voices of their
guiding bells could not be heard.
Blind Cared for In Jspan.
In Japan no blind person la left
without the opportunity and ability to
| earp his own livelihood in some hon-
j ovable pursuit. Each boy who is de-
prived of sight is thoroughly trained
ip one of two occupations which seem
I peculiarly adapted to his condition,
■ music and massage. Therefore, if
I nothing else is opened to him—
through his own choice or the circum-
stances surrounding him—he can at
least live upon the practice of a to
spectable profession.
A Spider's Appetite.
The sjjider has a trem^pdous appe-
tite, and his gormandizing de3es all
human competition. A scientist, who
carefully noted a spider's consumption
of food in twei)ty-four hours, conclud-
ed that if the spider were built pro-
| portf5hately to the human scale ho
| would eat at daybreak, approximately,
a small alligator, by T a. m. a lamb, by
0 a. m. a calf, and by one o'clock a
S^heep and would finish up with a lark
pie in which there were 120 birds.

Fishing Trick.
There are plenty of patented hooks
and devices for catching fish, but
when they are not available all sorts
of ingenious devices are rigged up by
those who tire of sitting in the sun
for hours wondering why the fish don't
hook themselves. Here is one of
them. It is not recommended when
there is a scarcity of bait, but other-
wise it can be used with success.
It must be kept in mind, even with
this device, that all fish do not bite on
a hook and pull anxiously in the hope
of being caught. The slightest pull of

order. I always carry them now."

Coral on the Moon.
In the astronomical periodical Sir-

he declares, would present a similar
