THE

ft Ii Made of a Piano Bos—Directions For Fitting It Up.

When tb^ piano box has done its duty as a covering to the piano during its transit from the dealers to the home, it jnay be transferred into a store that will cause no end of delight to both boys and girls. Think what a fine store it will make, better than all small stores, because its owner can get into it himself. It can be fitted up with an outside counter, so there will be plenty of room inside. The Household gives directions for making it and illustrates a store completed:

Nail a stout slat or post on the front of the bos, cutting it in two unequal parts. The smaller part is left as a doorway the other has a wooden shelf for a oounter built across it. Narrow shelves

READY FOR CUSTOMERS.

are put up on the walls to hold the goods. Boxes for various things are put on these shelves, each marked with the name of its contents. If i# is a grocery, drug or candy store, you must have bottles and jars, besides thr boxes. Label them neatly. A little sto o* scales costs not more than a quarter of a dollar, maybo less. Sets of imitation money can be also bought.

The greatest fun will be to play keeping a country grocery store, because then you can keep all sorts of goods. For dry goods, bits of cloth, lace and embroidery can often be got from clothes that have been put into the ragbag. A clever little girl coukl play milliner and liave some dolls' hats to sell, while a boy could put his tools or paints and brushes out to sell in pla". Picture cards, old books and toys cut or folded from paper, will add to the stock. The good storekeeper will have Irs name over &he front of the store, painted on stiff paper or a board. He will also have piles of paper cut different sizes to wrap his goods in, and if he wants to take the trouble, he can make paper bags for his store.

One of these piano boxes can be made into a workshop for a little boy who is fond of tools. A workbench must be put in at one side. The walls may be painted or papered. Along the wall stack 6trips of dark tape or webbing, whore tools may be slipped. A sizable tool chest is kept under Ihg table, and a little bench, made liLe a wash bench, serves as a seat.

Recipe For Sponge Cream Cake.

American Kitchen gives this recipe: Two eggs and three-fourths of a cup of granulated sugar beaten together very light. Add 5 tablespoonfulc J)f boiling •water (be sure the water is boiling) as quickly as possible, beat slightly, then add a cup flour sifted twice, with a teaspoonful baking powder and asaltspoonful of salt. Flavor slightly with lemon or vanilla or nutmeg. Beat until the flour is absorbed, no longer. Bake in 2 jelly cake pans 12 minutes in a quick oven. The batter is so thin the whole process of mixing can be done with the egg beater.

Whip one cup of cream stiff, sweeten with pulverized sugar, adding it a spoonful at a time while you are beating until you have it sweet enough. Flavor to taste. Put part of it on the bottom of one cake, lay the other cake on with the top up and put the remainder of the cream in a pastry bag containing a star tube in the end and decorate the surface with dots of the cream.

Pan Roast In Chafing Dish.

Melt a tablespoonful of butter, and, as it creams, add a dozen large oysters, a half pint oyster liquor, salt and pepper. Cover and cook about 10 minutes. Put 6 of the oysters on a thin slice of toast on a hot plate, with sufficient liquid to moisten the toast, and serve.

Usefnl Workbag,

A useful bag can be made from a square of striped silk measuring 26 inohes. Line it throughout with pongee silk of a contrasting color. A pretty model is old pink, striped with two shades of green and tiny blue flowers. It is lined with the darker shade of

green. A slide is run in to form a circle. The slide is placed an inch from the edge of the side, and, being in a circle, leaves the corners to fall over the outside in points, showing the green lining. A bow of ribbon in the lighter Ffjado of green is sewed to the center of par!. This bag on a larger scales innrlo ith striped dimity, lined with Turkey iff I twilled cotton, makes a useful for soiled collars, hand-inrci-jir :or articles.

i. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. &

A SKATING CAT.

Her Name Is Mouser, and She Is the Pet of a Hurl em (N. I.) Boy.

Harry Summers is a Harlem boy, and his greatest boast is that he has succeeded in teaching his pet cat, Mouser, how to glide along an ice pond on skates. Mouser did not learn how to skate in a day. As may be imagined, she was a slow pupil, and it was quite a month before she could be induced to keep the little pieces of steel and wood (which Harry had specially made for her) attached to her feet. Even when Mouser had grown accustomed to her shackles she had to be taught to stand upright, and after that she had to be coaxed into using her skates on the ice. Poor puss had many a bad fall, and if her skates had not been so firmly attached to her hind legs she would have run away from her terrible task long before she had grown accustomed to her unnatural sport.

It was only with the utmost patience and kindness that Mouser was taught to look upon her daily exercise as a part of her existence. Today she rather enjoys a spin on the little pond in the back yard of Harry's home. Mouser's first real lessons in skating were given on miniature roller skates it was only a step from roller, skating to a glide on the ice. Mouser is a big white and yellow cat, not at all handsome, and. more inclined to fight than to skate, but Harry is a

lad of fierce determination, and the boys in the neighborhood of Harry's house insist that the young animal trainer has hypnotized his pet. Be that as it may, Hrrry has succeeded in doing what no one lias ever done before, and he is reaping his reward in the fun that Mouser affords himself and his friends whenever the weather is cold enough to make an ice pond in fit condition for skating.

Harry has had several offers from museum keepers who want to buy the gifted Mouser, but the boy would rather part with his ears than give up his clever cat. Mouser is the most remarkable feline in the world, and if she understands her own value she must certainly know that she can do at least one thing that no other cat has ever before succeeded in doing. A skating cat is worth a whole menagerie of ordinary trick animals, and when Mouser dies— as she probably will some day—a fine monument erected over her grave will be the very least that her proud master can do to let future generations know how wonderful a pussy once lived and skated in New York.—New York Recorder.

Little Wllhelmina.

Juvenile sovereigns can be very trying to their elders. Notions of their own importance are apt to crop up rather rapidly in their young heads. Wilhelmina I of Holland is not an exception. She had held her queenly title for scarcely six months when one morning at an unconsciously early hour she left her room and knocked at the door of the queen regent's chamber. "Who is there?" asked her mother. "The queen of the Netherlands," was the grandiloquent reply. "Oh," said the queen regent, "I am afraid it is too early to receive thq queen of the Netherlands, but if my little daughter Wilhelmina is there she may come in."—Ladies' Home Journal.

Leap Year Parties.

The opportunity should not be missed. These parties afford rare fun if properly managed. The boys invite the girls and the girls a6k the boys to accompany them. The girls choose their partners for dancing and for supper. In short, reverse the usual order of things and you cannot go astray at a leap year party. Plan it all beforehand so that itn may work smoothly.—Brooklyn Eagle.

The Right of Way.

In a crowded street keep to the right. Should you wish to break this rule remember that you should turn aside to the right when others wish to pass you. It is courteons, whether you or the stranger has the right of way, to turn aside for your elders or for those who have a burden.

She Smelled Them Whole.

Little Ethel had run across the road to make her usual call upon Aunt Jennie and stopped suddenly in the kitchen, .exclaiming, "Oh, my! I smell apples, auntie!" "I should think you might, *!ear there is a pan of parings." "But, ftuntie, I smell whole apples!''—Youth's Companion. "'J

Epp HEATEB PIPE.

THE RifTIRED BURGLAR RELATES HIS MOST. SINGULAR EXPERIENCE.

He Had an Elegant Lay Out of Wedding Presents at His Mercy When He Made an Unfortunate Step—In the End He

Made a Contribution to the Collection.

"In a house that I was looking over in a town up the state one night," said the retired burglar, "I came across something that I never struck but that once in all my experience, strange as it may seem, and that was a lot of wedding presents, all just as they were arranged for display. When I turned nay lamp into the room, I v/ished I had brought a horsa and wagon there was a good deal of it that wouldn't have been of any earthly use to me, but it seemed a pity to leave any of it behind. But if I couldn't carry it all off, I could have the fun of picking, and I started to look the things over. They were arranged on tables and chairs and on the .floor around on three sides cf the room on the side opposite to the side that I had come in at, ard on the sides to (lie right and left running around those three sides in a sort of irregular order. On the side •ivbero I was there were a few chairs. I thought I'd start in on the left an 1 work around to the right, and I shir ed from the door and hud gone about three steps when I weut down through tho floor, as it seemed to me, but what I had really done was to step down through an open register. I suppose somebody nmst have dropped something down through it and

••The Pyramid Limp."

"The pyramid limp," as it has come to be called, is that state of body which falls upon one for two or three days after making the ascent of the pyramids. One is so much pulled and pushed at the time that little or no inconvenience is felt. There is no sign of soreness of joint or muscle until after one has slept, and then the trouble begins to brew the second day of that man or woman is worse than the first the climax is reached at tho end of the second or beginning of the third day, and from that time the patient begins slowly to recover. —Cairo Correspondent.

taken it out to get it and forgot to put it back. "There was a wire screen under the register over tho pipo opening to keep things flora dropping down tho pipe, but it was very lino light wire, and it didn't stop ino at all I just slid down into the pipe, pushing that along under my feet. When I dropped into the pipe, I had been facing to the left in some way as I went down I got skewed around so that when I got down as far as I did go I was facing to the front that is, toward tho center of the room. The pipe didn't go straight down, but with a curve. I had thrown up my hands as I went down, and I suppose I might have gono plumb to the furnace if I hadn't clutched at the edge of the register opening and hung on. A minute before I was going to take rny pick of a roomful now where was I? "I had started across the room carrying my toolbag in one hand and my lamp in tho other. The shock when I went down had sha3»:c-n tho bag out of my hand, but I had held on to my lamp, though it was lying on its side now with my fingers clutching through the handle. The falling of the toolbag and the striking of tho lamp on the floor and the scraping of the wire gauze down through the tin pipe must have made all together a good deal of noise, and I expected every minute to hear somebody moving about up staife and coming down to haul me out, but nobody did come, and I set my lamp up straight, and after I'd waited a minute or two more I started to see if I could haul myself out. "As I lay in the pipe my head was below the level of the floor by a great effort I could raise myself so that the upper half of my head was above the opening, but no higher there was no room for play when I got that high, I found myself with my elbows close to my body and fairly wedged into the pipe I couldn't get any higher. "I let myself down again, and after awhile I pulled myself up again, and held on by one hand and held up the lamp and swung it round on the things. Then I let myself down again, and wondered what I was going to do. It wasn't only uncomfortable there in the position I was in, it was mighty hot and unpleasant every way. If I let go, I didn't know but that I'd slide down against the furnace, and, of course, I couldn't stand it for an indefinite length of time, and when I'd been in the pipe I should imagine about two hours, I made up my mind that I wouldn't try to stand it any longer I'd got to come out some time, and I might just as well come out then in fact, better, for while the chances of my getting away at all were mighty small, they would be better at night than they would be in the daytime. "So I made up my mind to kick on the pipe and wake up the house and have the thing settled. So I kicked once, twice, and then I kicked again and by snakes! I kicked the pipe open at my feet. There was a joint there, and I'd kicked it apart, and the sections I I was in sagged down with my weight, and I slid out on the cellar floor. The sagging down of that part of the pipo detached it from the part above and it fell on the cellar floor alongside of me. That made noise enough to wake everybody up there couldn't be any doubt about that. "I went out by the same cellar window that I came in by. It was the first and only such lot of stuff that I ever struck, and I never got a thing out of it in fact, I added something to it myself—a set of tools and a/lark lantern. —New York Sun.
