Picture Bottles.

VNhen little girl, another little girl and
often made what we called picture bottles,
and we enjoyed the work wonderfully.
The other day l found some of these
bottles. They are very pretty ornaments,
| assure you, and l will tell the little girls
how To make others like ours.
First, gather up all the little pictures
and scraps of bright.colored cloth and
paper you can, and get the largest
straight, smooth vial or bottle that you
can find. Then dip each scrap in thin
mucilage, or if you have no mucilage, it
will answer to dip ii in water; put it in
the bottle, and with bent knitting
needle spread it out smoothly, letting it
stick to the inside surface of the bottle
The scraps can all be cut of the same
size and shade, like bed-quilt pieces, or
they may be left any shape they happen
TO be. You must fit them together the
best you can, filling up the little corners
with little scraps, for you must not leave
any cracks where you can see through
between the scraps.
II you have pictures, past each picture
by itself, and then fill up around ii with
bits of bright cloth or paper, To look like
little picture-frames around the pic
lures
If you can cut flowers and leaves out
of red and green cloth or paper, paste
them in little bouquets. and fill up around
them with dark -colorcd scraps
Sometimes we put in the bright petals
of real flowers and green leaves, instead
of pieces of cloth; these were lovely, and
lasted long time As soon as your scraps
are all fastened inside of the bottle, care
fully fill il full of dry sand or meal, which
will keep the pictures in place. DO it all
as quickly as possible, for they come off
easily when dry, especially If they were
only wet in water -JfedyH and Home.

"True," my friend said. ~ always feel
sorry when hear anybody talking about
the old man, when he means his father !;
and if boys only knew it, they always fall
in the estimation of grown people when
they do SO. 1t is only loafers and rowdies
who applaud them. And it is far better
to win the approval Of true man, or wo-
man, than rowdy. But many boys fail
to see it."
My young readers, never let any one
hear you call your father the old man or
the governor. Such expressions are only
fit for rowdies; remember that, no matter
who you hear use them Young Peoples

4 PRETTY SIGHT TO SEE.
BY FANNY N. BARToN,

BY FANNY N. BARTON.
In the early evening,
Playthings are put away,
And the babies come together
Their sweet goodnight to say.
One to mamma clinging,
Two on papa's knee;
y the curls and dimpies
Are a pretty sight to see.
In their dainty nightgowns,
Never half so fair;
White arms soft and curving,
Little pink feet bare;
Every pose so graceful.
Every motion free;
q, there's no denying
It's pretty sight TO see
After lavish kisses,
The last good night Is said,
And then the little fairies
Go trooping of to bed.
And when upon the pillows
They cuddle down, all three,
o, then my sleepy darlings
Are pretty sight to see !
Our Young Folks.

The Paris Figaro is guilty OF an amusing
fiction in delineating some frightful scenes on
the line Of the Pacific railroad. Ii represents
the Indians as vaulting lightly on San Francisco
trains, AMI scalplng the engineers, conductors,
and baggage smashers, and then driving the
trains to destruction down some frightful gorge
or yawning canon. All this is calculated to
excite the horror of the Parisians and the
amusement of the Americans.
