MAKING BOOK-snELVES.-CONTIN-UED.
In Fig. 114 at B is illustrated another
method for connecting tho two shelves
to the sides, which consists in extend
ing the ends of the shelves through
mortises In tho sides, the shelf tenons
being keyed on tho outside, as there
shown, and as has been fully described
in a former article under Fig. 70, parts
A, G and E.
A much simpler pattern for the sides
of this book shelf Is given in Fig. 118,
which may be used if desired, in place of
the one illustrated in Fig. 115. The two

ing the center bit considerable pressure
will be needed to force the bit Into hard
wood, and as soon as the center point
comes through the piece it must be
turned over and the bale completed from
the opposite sld of the board. After
boring the holes X and X the remainder
of the opening is cut out with the com

The mortises for the shelves are mad

tho accommodation of larger books. The
tvo small outside shelves may be omit
ted if desired, and the shelves connected
to tho sides by round head brass screws,
or dowels, as described for Fig. 114. In
this case, however, the threo strips
which form the ledge on tho back of the
shelves should extend past the sides (as

Its strength. Tho recesses for these

Article of Diet.
A new food has been found for 4C0
young whitetlsh now at tho New York
aquarium. They wore born In tl.a
aquarium's hatchery in March and are
now of an average length of about two
Inches. Such little fishes, In naturn,
when they camo to eat would feed oa
minute forms of animal lifo which thuy
would find in the water.
In the aquarium, says the Sun, they
got, first, herring roe, chopped up very
fine and strained through cheesecloth,
Later, finely-chopped liver was given to
them, but now they are being fed with,
live food in the shape of mosquito
larvae.
The aquarium has for two or three
years maintained a mosquito exhibit,
showing how mosquitoes breed. The
mosquito In one period of Its develop
ment is an aquatic creature, the familiar
wriggler of the rain water hogshead and
of stagnant pools and ponds.
Tho material foi the mosquito exhibit
is brought in ncldentally by the
aquarium colleoto , and there are places
which he visits wnero it would be easy

Once when Mine, do Malntenon, who
had risen from the gutter to grandeur,
was looking pensively in tho golden pool

tho llsh in tho crystal water, observed:
"How languid the carp arc." "Yes," re

A woman of wealth, recovering from
a serious Illness ono morning, called
for an egg, which she ate with much

with much melancholy: "What a pity,"

A teacher in a boarding school was

"Now," ho continued, "when I stand on

my feet?" "Because," answered a
daring youth, "your feet ain't empty."
Prof. Balloy, of Yalo university, saya

"Woman: Without Her, Man Is Help

a decrepit old man to read the paper bo

stood up, and, reading from the manu
