JUDY AND THE FAIRIES.

A Night Adventure. Judy was six years old when this little story began and she lived quite alone with her mother and father. Everyone thought it was such a pity that she had na little brothers or sisters to play with, but Judy did not mind playing by herself, be- enuse she had a great, great secret.

Then one day something quite new huppeped to Judy a little girl cousin of seven years old came to was Her stay with her. Mary, and Judy felt a little bit shy at first.

But they were soon great friends, and, one night, when their mothers had tucked them up in their little beds side by side, Judy confided her sceret to Mary. She told Mary that she was friends with the fairies, and that they often talked to her when she was alone. And what do you think? Mary did not believe in fairies at all, and Judy was so up- set when she heard this that she said she would just take her out and let her see for herself.

And, do you know, those two naughty little girls got out of bed, put on their coats and went quietly downstairs out into, the night. It was quite dark outside, and they both felt a wee bit nervous because the trees looked so big and dark.

But they held hands very tightly, and Judy soon led Mary to the little mossy glade where she had so often watched the fairies at play in the quiet afternoons. She With quite

sure they would come again now so that she could make Mary believe; so she made Mary lie down quietly beside her and watch. Sure enough in a few minutes something began to happen; a tiny silvery ray light- ed up the mossy ground, and beauti- ful little fairy people began to ap- pear from nowhere in particular and danced and ran about before Judy's very eyes. She could hear their

little silvery voles, too, and she was really fascinated because, of course, it was much more exciting at night.

She quite forgot about Mary until she felt a tap on her arm, and she turned to find her cousin looking quite pinched and miserable.

"I'm cold and I don't like being here," she whispered in a scared little voice. "It's so dark.”

"Dark! But there's a light there, are fairies and you can see there

.... you do believe now, don't you?" said Judy excitedly, but when she looked back to the glade it was quite dark, and all the fairies had disappeared.

"I can't see anything except nasty dark things moving about, an' I knew there wouldn't be any fairies," said Mary. Poor Judy couldn't un- at all, but she took derstand it Mary's hand and led her back to the house.

They were soon in bed again, and then Mury told Judy she was silly to talk about fairies, because only babies said silly things like that. And Judy didn't say anything at all, because she just felt sorry for Mary,

"It must be 'cns she doesn't te- lieve," she thought, and dropped aff to sleep,

Pardonable.

The teacher was trying to show a amall boy how to read with ex- pression.

"Where are you going?" Johnny read, with no accent whatever.

"Try that again," said the teacher. "Read as if you were talking. Notice that mark at the end."

Johnny studied the question mark a moment and an idea dawn- ed upon him.

It had been arranged by the National and Imperial Juntor "League of Model Yachtsmen, the Model Yachting Association,, and the L.C.C. Model Yacht Club, to show the public something of what was being done for boys in a re- creative and educative way,

A conference of the league was held later, when it was agreed, that the lengths of boys' yachts should It was decided remain as fixed. that 24in. yachta may be punts or sharp-sterned boats, and are not to weigh more than 4lb., sail area to remain as last year. Thirty-inch yachts (any shape) are increased to lb. weight, with the sail area unchanged. Thirty-six-inch yachts (any shape

Old Gentleman: "Yes, I believe I did."

"Did he look angry?"

"I didn't notice."

Teacher (to the clasa): Now, boys, I want you all to write down what is necessary to make a chicken-run.

Voice from the clasa: Just clap your hands and say "Shoo"! Bir.

WHAT ARE MOLECULES?— The smallest particles of matter that can exist in a free state-that is to say, uncombined with other parti- cles.

WHAT RELATION IS A MOLE- CULE TO AN ATOM?-An atom is regarded as the constituent of a molecule and the smallest particle that can exist combined with others, or that can take part in a chemical change.

WHAT IS THE SMALLEST SPECK OF MATTER WE CAN 'THINK OF?--The negative particle of electricity (or electron) dancing round the central nuclens of the atom is on the borderland of matter. The postive central nucleus is the a emallest speck of matter, as dis tinguished from an electron
