FAIRLY DONE

    In a school near Ravenglass, the other day, one
of Her Majesty's Inspectors was examining a
class, having "a bird" for his subject.  After asking
them several questions, he inquired of the children
what a bird could do, which he could not, expect-
ing them to say "Fly."  He waited a long time
and no one seemed to know.  At last one little
girl put up her hand, and the Inspector said:
"Well, my little dear, what can a bird do that I
can't, "  and she replied "Lay an egg."  The
Inspector was satisfied, and when the report came
he allowed "The Free Grant."
