Brackets.

There is nothing that adds more to the
attractiveness of the home than brackets
in the corners OF the room, which usually
become the receptacle of vases of flowers,
natural or artificial, small plaster casts,
that cost but trife and are pretty, and
numberless other little ornaments that
are always finding their way into the
house and are often broken and ruined
because there is no place to put them ex-
cept on the table. Brackets as sold at
the furniture stores are rather expensive
but may be made at home, and any boy
with sharp jack-knife may find a world
of amusement in cutting up old cigar
boxes and making brackets which, var
nished, are as handsome as any that can
be purchased at the stores To make
these one requires small key-hole saw,
sharp iack-knife, and bits Of two or
three sizes. Patterns of the various parts
should first be cut from stiff brown paper,
and trimmed till they fit each other ex-
actly If the brackets are quite small,
they may be made of cigar boxes if large,
pine or black walnut beard may be
used. Pine can be stained and vanished,
and it is such an easy wood to work in
that we recommend it to beginners in the
bracket-making art. Lay the pattern cut
from designs of your own on the wood
and mark it round with a pencil. With
the knife the saw, and the bit remove all
the wood to be taken away, and scrape
the edgessmooth with piece of glass.
After the pieces are prepared they should
be fastened together with glue and head
less tacks, then stained and vanished A
little practice will give one more insight
into the mysteries of the art than long
written instructions. fausE

THERE is many and many candle that
will burn discreetly in room where the
air is still which if you take it into the
wind, flares and flutters and burns every
way but the right way; and there are
Christians that are able to have the pure
flames of Christian life burn steadily, if
you only shield them, but that, if you
move them about and bring them in con-
fiict with each other in circumstances of
temptation, show their weakness of
Christian feeling. M

A. SPLENDID RArrER.-Up In Vir-
giula City they have a singular way OF
testing the rafting properties OF favor
lite terriers. The following Is the
modus operandf Of the business: They
first catch the rat In a trap. He IL
then :aken out Into the middle Of G
street, and a ring Il formed Of Inter-
es,ed spectators. Then all the dogs In
the neighborhood are called into the
ring. Bets are freely offered that q
particular dog will kill the rat before
lie strikes the ground. After the spec
tators have been kept In suspense for
several minutes. the trap Is held In n
vertical position, with the bottom
close to the dogs nose. The rat,
weakened by low diet and fright, Is
then dropped into the dogs mouth.

SNOW RouND.

How did it happen7 Well, You see,
Charley called for Mary or me;
Sleighing good, and neither 10th,
Only wished he could take us both,
So he said. And grandmother smiled,
Nodding at me, 'Dress warmly, child"
He looked at Mol
AS if to say:
Too bad; but we
Shall ride some day.
While half prompted not to go,
Yet feeling, somehow, forced you know,
Ran to get ready, blithely humming
Never dreaming of what was coming
A dear little sleigh and robes-so nicel
And though the air was cold as ice,
l didn't care one bit, not l.
And that horse of Charley's seemed to fly;
While the sleigh bells ching-a-ling, clear and sweet
Kept tune to my hearts bewildered beat,
With a ehing-a-lng-ching,
And Charley singing,
"What would you do, loye?"
Through their ringing.
Every thing was so perfect and bright
And sweet and warm-for winter night
That-that-in fact, though only sleighing,
1 naruly kneH Nudt OnaIleJ was saying.
Snow-bouHd? All, that is only his joke;
There wasn't storm, and nothing broke,
And we weren't half dead with cold and fear,
Nor buried in drift, as he'd have it appear.
It's only his way of letting you know
Of what befen DER the crispy snow,
While ching-a-ling-ching
We slid along,
And Charley forgot
To end his song.
And I-well, was quiet too,
For where was the use, when Charley knew?
All in breath the past grew clear,
And life shone forth, so dear, so dearI
'fDrifts," indeed and "Pity we vent"
You might have guessed what his "snow-bound
meant
