LEARNING TO WALK, . Up a step, ... Up a step. Gaily we go! - First on the heel we step, Then on the toe! Up a step, ...... Up a step. That is not so! . .. You must step up a step, First on the toe. QUITE SO! The cabbage rose, the butter flies, So surely we’ll be able. When the kettle sings and the - big jam puffs To see a bun dance on the table. SNEEZING. Sneeze on. Monday, sneeze for danger, Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger, Sneeze on Wednesday, sneeze for something better, Sneeze on Friday', sneeze for sorrow. Sneeze on Saturday, see your* sweetheart to-morrow. Sneeze on Sunday', your safety seek, You’ll,have bad luck the whole of- the week. A TONGUE-TWISTER. “Betty' Batter bought a bit of .butter. ‘But,’ said Betty, ‘this butter’s bitter. It will make my batter bitter. If I bu\ r a bit of better butter and put it in my batter, it will make my batter better.’ So Betty' bought a bit of better butter but her batter was not better. And Betty' Batter was bitter about her bit of better butter.” DO YOU KNOW THESE? When is a pie like a great Engish poet?—When it is Browning.
