sorts. I lie reason ol tlK iihcoinion.-
nMe filling in Ills niinil was this;
That inonmijr tlie boys bad proposed
Imlkllng a snow fort on the hill near
the seliool-hoiise. For some days tin'
weather bad ben very 'oderate,"
as people in the country express it.
arid the snow had become of Just the
light consistency ttrll into Kails, and
thus facilitate the bnlWitlg of a snow
luit in capital style. John lad fallen
in with tlie plan very eagerly, lie
loved sport of that kind as well a- any
boy in the school. When Is- plawl
l,e' threw all his energlM lute U
sport, ami was consequently a son el
a leader in all the MlHMeiHtjruetS lllC
deiil toAhool life. And I am glad to
eny that he studied in very inncli the
same way as lie played ; lie made no
half wow about It, out got his lessons
Uiomighly anJ well. Probably Ills
relish lor plav gave bln a keener ap
petite lor his studies. 1 have often
noticed that those hoys who play lest.
.-tndy liest. No those toys who play
most, however, for souie boy think Ol
nothing hut play.
As the plan was propo-cd In the
morning that they might have time to
build the fort in the hour given them
at noon to eat their lunch during the
forenoon recess, and devote tlie entire
hour to work on tlie fort, and com
plete it. if possible, before the alwr
iioou school hours began, that it might
lie ready tor use next day. Nearly all
the large hoys bad a hard lesson in
arithmetic that forenoon. The teach
er had told them that three of tlie
hardest probtems most be worked out
uu their slates and brought fur luspec
liou at recitation time. If not Cor
rectly done, time nin-t l' taken from
the hour's nooning to study on them.
Tlie boy thonglitof the snow fort to
be Built, w id applied themselves dili
gently to their lessons'. John took bis
slate 'and worked away lui-iiy. lie
fore recitation came he had cpntmered
all lllftlculties, and had the knotty
problems written down for the teach
erNln.spe.Tlon. J " .
Kecitatiou came, ueiooh ma emu:
and started for the class whicli was ;
forming on tlie floor. He had got
nearly to his place when he saw that
the examples lie had wrltteu down so
lareftiltv were gone rubbed out en-.
tirely, 'lie stared at tlie blank slate
n itli a look of complete bewilderment.
Ue bad taken unusual pain- with
them. When he looked last they were
certainly there. Now they wen-gone.
Ititt who had rubbed them out f home
one must have done so. He could not
remember that any one had been to
his seat, and yet some person had
tound and taken the opportunity to
blot the result of bis morning's labor.
I had the example on my slate,
sir." he said to the teacher. "They
are gone. Some one lias rubbed them
out.7'
Who lias niblied tliem out;-' ask
ed tlie teacher, in bis sharp, stern way.
I dou't know, sir, ' answered
John.
"Are yon sure yon line! them work
ed out correctly ?" asked the teacher.
"Yea, sir." answered John, flushing
up at the doubt implied by the teach-i
er's one and question.
Very well, as you are Unable to
produce them, ami can accuse no one
of having rubbed them out. you may
toy in at noon and work on them."
John was p mi proud to say a word

So he took his seat in silence, resolved
to And out, if it were possible, tli
author of his misfortune, for such lie
con-ideRsI it to be, since it obliged
him to stay away from the fort-build-in-'
that was to take place at U00U.
Stay away br dW. It was time for
h-1iim)1 to lgfn before the problems

could not study modi wliell he ,
thought ot the sort me hoys were

their im-rry laughter, and Imagine
how thev were enjoying themselves.

A Muscular Young Niui.
Let me mention n rather funny inci
dent which occurred some time since.
In the first place you must know that
all the young Harpers are athletics.
Muscularity, by the way. seems to come
to them as a legitimate inheritance.
The .-lory is told that on one occasion,
many, many years ago. as stories -ay.
when the h.inds in the composing
room at a very critical moment pro
posed to knock oil' work, one of the
firm, Klet, her'--on. I think. Mat lotted
Idmsell al lite door helow to remon
strate and persuade them back todnty,
The first tliul came down was the fore?
man.
H ill you not go hack to work?"
asked Mr. Harper, mildly.
"See you d d first, and then I
wont, was the gmtf response.
"Ken-hung." llu' foreman was
thrown; and the publisher stood calm
ly awaiting another issue. Another
brief but spirited dialouge occurred
with the next comer, and -o the thing
went on until four had found their
knock oil' terminate in a knock down.
The re-t went salisliedly back to their
work, and Mr. Uarper 'pulling oil' Ills
coat, went up stall's and olliclated as
loi-etiian.

his library, tailed some one to cany

"I know a little of them," said
the lad. niodcsllv.
The duke, having a taste for the ;
science, lieiran to talk to the young .
student, and was astonished at the
clearness and intelligence of his -answers,
"But how carae you to know so j
much ?" asked the duke.
"One of the servants taught me
to read," answered tlie lad. "One i
docs not need to know anything 1
more than tlie twenty-tour letter.-in j
order to lean everything else one j
wishes."
But the nobleman wanted to
know more about it.
"After I learned to read," said !
the lxy, "the masons came to work
ou our house." I noticed the areln
teat used a rule and compasses, and
made a great many calculations.
