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 flo wers,
natural or artificial, small plaster casts,
that cost but tritle 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 a sharp jack-knife may find 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,
a sharp jack-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,
a 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
bracketmaking 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 scrapc
the edges smooth with a 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.

NUMBER As.

as showed him to be alive and conscious
until he struck. But this is considered by
the greater number to have been entirely
improbable. His shooting through space
with lightning-like swiftness de-
prived him of all breath and sense of life,
undoubtedly, while part way down. In
deed, it is hardly possible that he inten-
tionally jumped from the basket 1t is
more likely he fell from it when he had
no longer any power to hold on to it.
With terrific violence he crashed upon the
earth, feet down, his legs driven up into
his body, and all but his head being in
stantly mashed into sickening, CULVER
ing mass of spouting blood, proTuding
bones and dropping flesh. His feet struck
into the earth several inches. He struck
a few feet from the Jail wall, only about
eight rods from the very spot where he
went up. Down came the basket right
after him, and his hat came wavering
down. What became of the sack of the
balloon is not known. La Mountain re-

hog, "that's my business; don't meddle
with mems affairs. March! dress thyseli
in my clothes, and then come along"
What could the hedgehog's wife do:
She had to follow whether she would OF
no. When they were on the way together
the hedgehog said to his wife: "NOW lis,
ten to what | have-to say Seest thou, on
the long acre yOnder will be run our race
The hare runs in one furrow and I another,
and we begin to run from up there. Now
thou hast nothing else to do than to take
thy place here in the furrow, and when
the hare comes up on the other side thou
must call out to him, "I'm here alreadyp'
With this they had reached the field; the
hedgehog showed his wife her place and
wentup the furrow. When he got to the
upper end the hare was already there.
Can we start?" said the hare.
eyes, indeed!" said the hedgehog.
"To it, then!" and with that each
placed himself in his furrow, and the
hare uttered one, two, three! and away
he went like a storm-Wind down the
field. But the hedgehog ran about three
steps, and then ducked down in the furroW
and sat still.
When the hare, on the full bound, came
to the lower end of the field, the hedge
hogs wife called out to him, "I'm here
already" The hare started, and won
dered not little; he thought no other
wise than that it was the hedgehog him
self that ran out to meet him, for, as
every one knows, the hedgehog's wife
looks just like her husband.
But the hare thought: There's some
thing wrong about all this! Another
race! At it again! And away he went
like storm-wind, so that his ears lay flat
on his head. But the hedgehog's wife
stayed quietly in her place. When the
hare came to the upper end the hedgehog
called out to him, "I'm here already"
But the hare, beside himself with rage,
cried Another race! At it againm
'I'm quite willing" answered the
hedgehog, 'just as often as thou llkest."
So the hare ran three and seventy times,
and the hedgehog held out to the very
end with him. Every time the hare came
either below or above, the hedgehog or
his wife said, "I'm here already"
But the four and seventieth time the
hare came no more to the end. In the
middle of the field he fell to the earth and
lay dead upon the spot.
So the hedgehog took the louis dor and
the bottle of brandy he had won, called
his wife out of the furrow, and both went
home together; and if they have not died
they are still living. So happened it that
on the Buxtehude heath the hedgehog ran
the hare to death, and since that time no
hare has ever dreamed of running race
with Buxtehude hedgehog.
But the moral of this story is, first, that
no one, however high and mighty he may
think himself, shall let it happen to him
to make merry over an humble man, even
if he be hedgehog; and secondly, that it
is advisable, when one marries, that he
take a wife out of his own condition, and
who looks just like himself. He therefore
that is hedgehog must look to it that his
wife is also hog; and so forth.

READING, Pa, has recently been the
scene of an incident which gilds with a
tinge of romance a shadow Of the darkest
crime. A young lady enters Bishops
Bank in that city, presents her fathers
bank book, with a check for the balance
at his credit, and receives the money He
having occasion, shortly afterward, to use
it, misses his bank book, and goes imme-
diately to the bank to make known his
loss. "Your book is not lost" says the
teller; "your daughter brought it with her
when she drew out the money" ''Drew
out what money!" retorts the astonished
father; when the truth is incontinently
forced upon him that he has been robbed
by his own daughter and that she is a
forger of the cleverest kind. Subsequent
disclosures reveal the fact that she has
eloped with distinguished foreigner, and
left for parts unknown.

This IS the way the story comes from
Southern papers: A Louisville widower,
whose wife had extorted from him on her
dying bed a solemn promise that he would
never marry again, grew weary of his
lonely life after while and took a second
wife. But his perfdy was terribly pun
ished. The groom had provided the bridal
cake and locked it up carefully in room
in his dwelling. After the ceremony he
sent for it, and the cake was found strewn
in minute fragments upon the floor, bolts
and bars not having prevailed to stay the
hand of his righteously indignant first
such matters in Louisville, but in New
York we should simply say that the rats
had got the cake and found it very good.

SOME green tea recently examined by
DR.. Letheby, Of London, was found to
contain from forty to forty-three per cent:
of iron filings, and nineteen per cent. of
silica in the form of fine sand, which had
been cleverly mixed with and added to
the leaves before curling with a view to
increase their weight and bulk. After the
leaves were curled they had been thickly
covered with green pigment. When it
was infused in boiling water it produced
very turbid solution, offensive to the
smell and nauseous to the taste.

from some unexplained cause, he did not

the road, and before he was aware Of it
drove over the animal. The steer rose up
suddenly sue with the buggy on his back back and and
steer went together harmoniously at full

fright occasioned, and parasol injured

a case, instead of being eighty miles from

should reduce that distance to four or
FIVE miles. The magnitude of the result
which could thus be obtained can hardly
be conceived; but the question of the ex-
