TEHEE HAUTE SATUBDAT EVENING

FOE LITTLE FOLKS.

NEW KIND OF TO£,

—_

It Especially Fitted For Indoor Bpfar star and Is Euily Made. Top season is almost over, but every boy who ever span a top will be intergsted in making an entirely new kind of top (bat will spin when you blow apon it

This top can be made in 16 minutes. Get apiece at stiff cardboard and out from it a circular disk about three inches in diameter. At the very center of it make a pin hole, and in regular order

near the outside cut five or six oblique slots so that little pieces or wings Of cardboard will turn np, as shown in the cat One end of these slots may be a quarter of an inch from the edge of the disk and the other end may be several times as far.

An ordinary large sized pin should now be inserted through the hole in the disk and fastened on the underside with wax, so as to form a pivot on which the top will spin. Now get an empty spool, and your top is complete. To spin it hold the spool lightly in the month, insert the pin in the other end and blow briskly. At once the top will begin to revolve, the action- of the air holding it tight against the spool without other support

Now stop blowing suddenly and the top will drop out of the spool and continue to spin merrily on a table or on a piece of glass or on a smooth floor.— Ohioago Record...*

The Little Boy Who Ban Away. "I'm going now to run away," Said littlo Sammy Green ono day. "Then I can do just what I choose. I'll nover have to black my shoes Or wash my face or comb my hair. I'll find a placo, I know, somewhere And never have again to fill That old chip basket—so I will. "Goodby, mammal" ho said. "Goodbyl" Ho thought his mother then would cry. She only said, "You going, dear?" And didn't shed a single tear. "There, now," said Sammy Green, "I know Sho does not oare if I do go. But Bridget does. She'll have to fill That old chip basket, so she will." But Bridget only said "Well, boy, You'ro off for sure. I wish you Joy." And Sammy's littlo sinter Kate, Who swung upon tho gar don gate, Said anxiously as ho passed through, "Tonight whatever will you do When you can't get no 'lasses spread At Buppor time on top of bread?" One block from home and Sammy Green's Weak little heart was full of fear. He thought about Red liiding Hood, The wolf that met her in the wood, Tho beanstalk boy who kept so mum When ho heard the giant's "Fee, fo, fum," Of the dark night and the policeman. Then poor Sammy homeward ran.

Quick through tho alleyway he sped And crawled in through tho old woodshed. Tho big chip basket he did fill. Ho blacked his shoes up with a will. Ho washed his face and combed his hair. Ho went up to his mother's chair And kissed hor twice, and thrn he said, "I'd like some 'lasses top of bread." Mrs. S. T. Perry in San Francisco Examiner.

A Uttle Trick.

Perhaps some of you may know the trick, but those of you that do not will find it hard to believe that yoa may plunge your hand into a bowl of water and take from the bottom a ring, or other small object, without getting your hand wet Let us tell you how to do it.

There is no magio in it, nor is it really a trick, as wo have called it. All you have to do is to sprinkle the snrfaco of the water with some powder that has DO attraction for the water—something that the water will not wet Nothing better may be had than powdered lyoopodium.

Having thrown a handful of this powder on the surface of tho water, plunge your hand in,

Take

np the ring and show

the spectators that there is not a drop of moisture oi your hand. The reason is that the lycopodium forms a sort of glove around your hand, to which water will not adhere any more than it will to the back of a duck. Water birds may dive time and again and come to the surface with their feathers ad dry as if they had not been under the surface. The lycopodium gives the same quality to your hand.—Philadelphia Times.
