Dolls’ D resses.
“I think a white dress is the very
prettiest kind of dress a dolly can
have, d'jyi’t you, Mamie?" Then
Lucy added quickly, jiefore giving
Mamie a chance to answer: "Unless
it is a brown dress. I think brown
U a beautiful color. I hardly know
which I do like th« b«et—a whit«
dress or a brown drees."
There was a happy iook on the
face of little Jenny Jones, whose
plain china doll wore a dress of
dark brown print. She Btroked it
gently, hugged her dear dolly closer
and for a moment almost forgot
how much she had envied the dainty
white garments of the two hand­
some dolls of her companions.
But this was not all. Lucy’s lov­
ing little heart was still beating fast
as she thought of tlie mistake she
had so nearly made, and she hasten­
ed to make further amends: “Why,
your dolly is just about the size of
mine, and its dress unbuttons, I see,
and mine does too. Suppose we ex­
change dreeees a little while. My
doil has worn this one so long I am
almost tired of it."
“Heallv? Do you truly want to
change dresses?” The brown eyes
opened wide, and tlie cheeks flushed
in joyous anticipation. Her beloved
Bessie wearing that embroidered
dress with its sash of real silk rib­

“Of course I do,” said Lucy sim-

When the exchange had been

“ Why, Lucy, that brown is very be­

I should make her wear brown a
good deal if I were you.”—Young

The natives of Tutuila, one of the
islands of Oceania, have a peculiar
method of catching fish. At a giv­
en signal all the inhabitants of the
village assemble on the seashore to
the number of about 200 persons,
each carrying a branch of the cocoa
palm. With these in their hands
they plunge into tho water and
swim a certain distance from the
shore, when they turn, forming a
compact semicircle, each one hold­
ing his palm perpendicular in the
water, thus making a sort of sieve.
Tlie leader of the party then gives
a signal, and the fishers all approach
the senshore gradually in perfect or­
der, driving before them a multi­
tude of (ishea that are east on the
sand and killed with sticks.
