ECLIPSE.

(Original.) Said the Moon to the Evening Star, "I really should like to know Why those mortals down on the earth Arc staring and peering so." Said .the beautiful Evening Star To her friend and companion, the Moon, "I think they are worried in case Your light has been turned off too soon." ■ Said the Moon to the Star again, "Oh no, I have plenty of light. I had hidden my face, that was all, While I polished it, extra-bright!" And the Scientists down on the Earth, And the Children who loved the round Moon. Said, "How strange!" and "How lovely! . We wish For another Eclipse very soon." "LASSIE." Kelburn. "A COLD fIUGGET, PLEASE !" "What would you like me to bring you home?" the Duke of Gloucester asked Princess Elizabeth before he left for Australia. "A gold nugget please, Uncle Henry," was her prompt reply. It was not a difficult wisn to gratify, for when the Duke went to Ballarat he was presented with a casket containing three gold nuggets. The little Princess might have chosen a wonderful and costly twentieth century toy, but nothing had such romance for her as a nugget of gold, one of the world's oldest playthings, which probably had the same allurements for ■• little Egyptian princesses thousands of years ago. ; "NEW PIXIES , V «" "Fallala" (9) ......................
