Tilts IMnythlnc Is Very Amusing: and Is Easily Made. The amusing toy known ns a sky scraper is made of materials that are within the reach of every boy. It is easily constructed, and if you follow the directions set forth here you will produce a flying machine that will sur prise you. Fig. A is a piece of tin cut into the shape pictured, with two holes in it. Fig. B is an ordinary thread spool. Fig- C Is a nail (2) with the head cut off. Drive the nails into the top of the spool so that Fig. A will tit on it loose ly. Fig. I is a piece of wood cut into the shape pictured, and Fig. B is placed on it so that it can turn easily. Wrap a string around the spool. The string MECHANISM OK TUE SKYSCBAFEK. is to le pulled to put the spool in opera tion. Fig. A must be twisted up a lit tle, as shown in Fig. F. Fig. E shows the skyscraper completed. Fig. (J shows the way it is worked. Hold it in one hand by the piece of wood below the spool and take bold of the string which is wrapped around the spool and pull it quickly, so as to raise the tin from the spool. Then it will sail up into the sky. If it is made right it will prove to be a very amusing plaything. New York World. An Acrobatic Ilottle. Tie a cord from one side of the room to another, thus making a loose swing, and announce to the spectators that you are going to lay an empty, bottle crosswise on the cord and make it stay there without your holding it. Everybody will know, of course, that there is some trick about It, but that Is the very thing that everybody will wish to see. You will need a small piece of chalk, which you must rub along the cord at the place where you are going to put tbe bottle. This will prevent the bottle from slipping. Acrobats rub chalk on the soles of their shoes for the same purpose. Now get an umbrella or a parasol with a curved handle, insert the handle in the mouth of the bottle and lay the bottle on the cord, moving it back and forth a little at a time until 30a get it balanced. Then j-ou may take away, your hands and the bottle .will swing of its own accord. All that 13 necessary in a feat of this kind is a delicate touch, so as to get things nicely adjusted. Tbe Telegram Game. This is a simple little game, but it is Instructive, for it gives boys and girls practice in quick composition. Give to each player a sheet of paper and a pencil and then ask them in turn to name a letter of the alphabet until ten letters have been so named. If there are not ten players, some of them may be asked to name two letters each. Each player writes these letters, one after another, at the top of his sheet of paper, and is then asked to write a telegram of ten words, the words beginning with the ten letters In their regular order. Suppose, for example, that the let ters named are J, T. O, It, B. II, A, S, D, I. Here is a telegram that might lie formed on them: "Johnny tumbled off roof; broke his arm; send doctor immediately." When the telegrams have all been written which should be done within a certain time, say within ten minutes the leader reads them aloud and awards a prize. A Good Detective. Some one has invented an envelope that is chemically prepared in such a way that when any one tries to open it the words "attempt to open" sud denly appear. This must give the dis honest one a shock similar to that re ceived by the mischievous small boy. who opened bis big sister's letter for fun. He found himself confronted: by these words on a sheet of paper: "You dishonest little boy! I knew, j-ou would be mean enough to do this, and now you are found out!" Why Hats Gnaw. Rats and squirrels have teeth which grow all the time. In the case of a rat, the tooth pulp is perpetual and Is continually secreting material by, which it gains length. Therefore the; animal is obliged to gnaw all tbe time' to keep the tooth down to its proper! length. It Is commonly believed that rats keep gnawing out of pure mis chief, but such is not the case. , 1 g Sip l rjhl 1 1 j W v .THE.. EXPERT CASTER., Placing; Ul Fly Is Not Mere Cbance, - bat a Fine Art.; The art of casting is in itself simple and may he readily acquired by any painstaking tisberman. The rod passes only through a quadrant; it starts par allel with the water and, coming to the perpendicular, stops. Tbe motion is a quick, rigid Jerk as fast as Jt can be made, and the rod does the rest The motion forward is at the beginning a gradual feeling for the tension of the line that is. ' when it Is, about to straighten. Once this Is assured the movement increases in rapidity from butt to tip, the result being much the same as driving at a peg with a long handled hammer slow, at the start and quick at the finish, the bend of the rod being first at the butt and gradual ly ascending to the tip. Ip casting nothiug is left to chance by the expert caster. He knows exact ly where he wants to put his ily, with in a foot or two, and puts it there, the feathered barb traveling past him at fronj six inches to four feet above the water, as he may "elect, although It may go above the shoulder If desired. In some long casts one may see the fly pass below the hip. Indeed the degree of command one can gradually, acquire il really wonderful. A single east where fish are loeated is, ns a rule, sufficient.- They will rise at once, and if the fisherman is an ex pert at dropping his fly he can bring fish to the spot from some distance. One may frequently see fish attracted from a point so far from the Ily that they break water two or three times before taking the hook. On the other hand, a fly awkwardly dropped will le taken with a leisurely grab, the fish simply sucking it in, aud the exhilara tion of a spirited rise is lost. The more cxivrt a fisherman Is at fly casting tbe more thoroughly ho enjoys the sport. Collier's Weekly. THE TYPHOON. A Chtnene Lea-end of the Orlarla of This Fierce Storm. This very odd bit is by a Chinaman: "A little schoollKiy while on bis way to school one day picked up what seemed to him a small white pebble. He put It into bis pocket. It proved to be a snake egg. and in time through the heat of his pocket it batched out a young reptile. "The loy fell in love with it and car ried it from day to day to school with him and ftnl it with a.pyt of his own lunch until it lieeame too big to be car ried, when be made a nest for it at home. "But one day It suddenly grew to enormous size, and uion the boy's ar rival home he was frightened to death. "When the monster saw what he had done be was sorely ttlHicted and re fused to le fed, but immediately put on mourning by turning his color from brown to pure black. He crawled be side the grave of his departed friend and lay there for seven days and nights. "At the completion of the seventh night he came hack to his late home, but the Ihiv's old mother was so en raged at him for killing her only son that she picked tip an ax and chopped bis tail off. "With a fearful scream and a lash of his bleeding tail he felled the house and made his way to the Moo Soon San mountains, where he never shows him self but once a year, just about the time when he lost his tail, to come out and make trouble for the people by cre ating storms called the typhoon. This he does to square himself for losing bis valuable tail." Lonnxe Anatomy. The modern interest in- science through "observation" has become more or less of a mania.

Presently he came running to another member of the family, his eyes on fire, his cheeks flushed and his locks flying behind him. "Come! Come!" he cried.

"A pretty china closet with a display of dainty ware is one of the dinlmr room features that are diar to the heart of every woman, and with a little in genuity and the use of a few fancy dishes surprising results may be ob tained.

The top shelf Is not inclosed ex cept by a low latticework In front and forms an .excellent resting place for pieces "of fine china, particularly such as will lend some color to the room. Additional color may also le secured by using a curtain of "old blue" over the middle compartment of the closet. The woodwork of this china closet that is exposed to view, including the fronts of the drawers, should be of the same material as the wood of which the table, chairs and sideboard are made. The rail at the bottom of the middle compartment may be of brass or of the dull black iron that is used so much at present, and so artistically, for decorative purposes. Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. A "Stick" Tuulblirnxli. My mother, says a woman corre spondent of 'Medical Talk, had five children, and as soon as we shod our teeth she made each one of us get a "stick" toothbrush (a broken off piece of black gum limb and brush our teeth every night after supper. We used no tooth powder of any kind. I am the oldest of the live children. I am thirty years old. We kept up this nightly tooth brushing. No one of us has ever had the toothache. Only one of us ever hail to have a dentist even to . examine our teeth and that only once. Though we are all married and scattered, the old habit, which is a good habit, still clings to us. I still use a "stick" toothbrush every night. I believe if every mother would have her children follow this rule the den tists would all starve or go out of the business. Appearancen at Home. Don't say that it doesn't matter how you look around the house, for it does matter a great deal. It matters for the general credit of the establishment, of which the feminine head is the creditable or questionable representa tive; It matters in its example to the children and to the help; it matters to the husband and father, who usually, if lie is half a man. feels a sense of pride in the appearance of his family. It is poor encouragement to him to find confusion ami carelessness in dress and waste and destruction running riot about his dwelling. It is one of the important duties of every woman to keep herself and her house in a condi tion as presentable as possible, consid ering her circumstances. Simplicity of Decoration. Simplicitj' is the keynote of the hour In decoration. Before this result is achieved in some bouses there will have to be a carting away of numbers of objects which do not meet the re quirements of simplicity. William Mor ris, the great advocate of simplicity, said, "Have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful and believe to be beautiful," and if thia becomes an ultimatum, as there are signs of Its becoming, there will be a new vocation for women that of elimi nator.
