How a Discontented Tocl Was Made to Cease Complaining. Once upon a time a Gimlet In a car penter's basket was in a bad temper and began to talk like this: "I am sick of this life. I get no chance at all. All the other tools In the basket have fine work to do except myself. There is the Ax that hews the trees of the forest; there is the Plane that smooths the tables of princes; there Is tbe Chisel that carves the cornices of palaces, fcut poor little me! I am always fret ting and fidgeting, boring one little hole after another, and whenever I have made one a great Nail comes rnshing in and takes all the credit as if he had made the hole for himself. I am really very badly treated, and I have made np my. mind that If I can not do some bigger work I'll not do any at all." Out poked the long nose of the Ham mer. "What Is that you say. yon silly little Gimlet? You think your work Is not worth doing, but you forget that there Is scarcely a tool In the basket which our master uses more than your self. You forget, my dear little Gimlet that many of the tools you envy so may find their work done by other The Saw will bring down the oak al most as well as the Ax, and the Adz If you use It carefully, would do the work of the Plane pretty well, and even the Knife, though he is sometimes de spired because he is so cheap, yet does quite as well as the Chisel for can ing. But no tool In the chest can do your work except yourself, for you know that even your cousin, the Au ger. Is useless for 3-our tasks, as nei ther Nail nor Screw will hold after he has made a hole. So, Friend Gimlet, crumble no more, but be content and do your useful work as well as you can. for it Is to you that our master trusts for making his joints hold with out splitting and for all his work being neat and solid." The Shifting Brick. A very curious and Interesting form of optical illuHlon is well Illustrated by what may be called "the shifting brick." The central brick, drawn to show all its edges, as though it were made of glass, will assume the form Indicated b3* one or other of tbe smaller bricks at its right and left, according to the way in which tbe eyes accommodate themselves for the moment to one pat tern or to the other. If you do not see this at first look steadily for awhile at the pattern you desire. Bible Conundrums. Why could they not play cards In the ark? Because Noah sat on the deck.
