Pretty Hanging Ball.

,It really isn’t necessary to make the children an excuse for trying the .trick, ah old as it is pretty, of a feathery hanging carrot ball. From a large carrot cut away the taper end. leaving about five Inches of top. Turn it upside down and hollow out a deep well in the cut end —deep* not wide, for the sides must be left thick. Fill the well with water and hang tjie carrot in a sunny window. The exquisite feathery shoots soon begin to sprout out from the. top—now the bottom—and, seeking the light, curve crisply upward, surrounding and concealing the carrot in a mist of green.
