FOR THE CHILDREN

A Faaajr Little Hand Mill. Thrust a needle through a cork lengthwise so that you can make It stand point up. Now cut a piece of thin, very light paper into a square about three-quar-ters of an inch along each side. Bend one corner up a bit and one down in about the shape of the wings of the common plnwhee(s. Then find the exact center of it and adjust it on the point of the needle so that it can turn easily. Now tell the company that you can make the card revolve at the word of command. Itub your hand without letting any one see it. This is done to warm it, for the success of the trick depends on the heat of the hand. Then rest the hand on the table so that your open palm will be toward the card. Gradually bring your palm to the card till it is so close as almost to touch it. The card will begin to turn almost immediately if it has been adjusted properly aud if your baud is warm enough. A Cigarette Paper Trick. Before exhibiting this trick to your friends take a piece of cigarette paper aud roll it into a loose ball, placing it between the thumb and the first finger In the pocket-like angle formed by the "muscles and skin of the right hand. This once In place, you are prepared to astonish your friends with the trick. Take another paper from the book and tear it into small pieces in view of your audience. When you have thoroughly destroyed it, roll it into a ball, and on pretense of making it into a hard mass exchange it for the first ball, which you have had concealed between your finger and thumb. As in all other tricks, it is well to make a lot of flourishes and keep talking while you effect the change. Then you can display the ball which was not torn, and every one will wonder how you did the trick. This trick, if neatly executed, will prove very puzzling and can be performed anywhere. Drawing Room Bllsrard. A new and pretty game is drawing room blizzard. To enjoy it best go Into the hall or longest room in the house. Sometimes the door between two small rooms may be opened and thus give plenty of space. Divide the players. Send half to one end, half to the other. Fasten two extra wide tapes near each end for goals. For a ball make a large one of paper, something like those used for shaving papers. Place this ball in the middle of the room, and at a given signal let each player, previously armed with a small fau, try to blow the ball over the opposite goal. The number of goals to a game be planned beforehand, and each success is scored to the winning side. Hidden Christian Names. In each of the four sentences printed below you will fiud hiddeu a Christian name. Can you tell what the four names are? 1. The beleaguered garrison sent out a flag of truce. 2. Speaking of Mr. Metcalf and myself, red and blue are our colors. 3. The fog was so thick that with each step he narrowly escaped falling. 4 I will thank you to name the lowest price you will take. Answer.—l. Edgar. 2. Fred. 3. Stephen. 4. Ethel. Connndrnma. - If Dick’s father be John’s son, what relation is Dick to John? His grandson. What is the best and cheapest light, especially for painters? Daylight. What is the cheapest feature of the face? Nostrils, two for a cent (scent).

A Slip of the Tongne. A small girl of three years suddenly burst out crying at the dinner table. “Why, Ethel,” said her mother, “what is the matter?” “Oh,” cried Ethel, “my teeth have stepped on my tongue!” Talkativeness. It is as easy to draw back a stone thrown by the hand as a word once spoken.—Menander. Con rase. Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.—Goldsmith. Pollywog Philosophy. The tadpoles all sat in the river and said: "How lucky we are to be all tail and head! Just think how we’d teel if we were as absurd As a goggle eyed fish or a feathery bird. Or, worse still,” they cried, “We would wish we had died If, instead of being such nice pollywoga. Mother Nature had made us all Into green frogs 1“ The dignified frogs sat on green lily pads And said: "How absurd to say we spring from tads. From the little black tadpoles, all tall and all head! Why, if it were true wo should wish wo were dead! But it cannot bo so. For how could we grow So beautiful if we had boon pollywogo? No, no! We have always been dignified frogs!" And the feathery birds high up in the tree Bang, "The world is as funny ss funny
