FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

SHE'S 7H£ SMALLEST.

:Tlio ChubJiy Little Sprite Who Lives

Fr:s:-o and Rides a V/lircl.

Out in Hii'n Francisco there may be -Keen any bright day a tiny figure ou a tiuy bicyclo, scurrying nlong tho roadways of thj park of that city. This is little Lnurinc Duvau v, who is tliu sruall-

iest bicyclist in the world. She is only 8 years old, a dear little girl, with flqffy yellow hair and big blue eyes. She rides wheel that had to be made especially lor her, of course, and it weighs only 12 pounds. The picture of her which is given here shows what a chubby little sprite she is in her blouse and bloomers. Those who have seen her ride say it is something to remember, as those twinkling legs churn the pedals and the "bright curls toss back from beneath the «Tain o' Shanter as she races before the "wind.

A Very f'ecnliar Kite.

A balloon maker who uses kites in experimenting has madoii kite which, up•yOn boiug t. ssed into the air, will .scud away exactly like a bird. It will fall if a string is attached to it.

Anybody can ia::.l:e this kite if ho will ber»r in mind the appearanco of a bird in tho nsr It consists of a wingiike "main part ar.d a pad.'llelike tail. It may .•be of any size. Tho wings should bo like two right angled triai'gk'.-, connected .jir. tho base, only (ho paper must bo •curved outward beyond the hypnrenu.se, -ttnz'.-h the same as a bird's wing is curved. About half the length of one wing from this main portion a light, flexible piece of wood sheuld hold tho tail—a paper paddle of the area of one of the wings. .Make each wing with a little convexity from the under side and don't attempt to U3- it with a string. Tie a string to tho leg of a frightened bird. It •will fly to the end of it, flutter a moment and fall to tho ground. This kite will do tho same.

A bird cannot fly backward. Neither can this type of kite. It will go with tho wind, and for tho same reason that a bird goes forward.

Tho tendencj' of tho breeze, which •will first strike tho tail, will be to throw 4bo kite down, but as tho tail goes down it clevctes tho wing portion. 'The in-

Btant the wings begin to rise to a perpendicular position to the wind current it presents a broader surface to the brooao and is of course pushed onward. By tnis undulatory, snakeiiko wavering it' ends onward and upward. This movement may be seen in any flattering Hag on a breezy day. Indeed this discovery was made by observing the undulatory motion of a flag on a mast.—Now York Journal.

Professor Evaun of Albion college fell and broke a rib and is unable to attend classes. Tho professor has a son of 33 summers who is taking work in the preparatory school. When tho Ovid class met yesterday, this rosy cheeked lad, who is small for his age, stepped upon the rostrum, took the professor's chair and proceeded to call tho roll with the deliberate coniposuro of a veteran. When he had finished, ho quietly remarked that his father was unablo to HK} present and had requested him to tako chargo. Ho asked full explanations of tho most knotty constructions, which one or two upper classmen were unable to give, whereupon, much to their embarrassment, they were set right by the
