The World ON a r1ock-orange.


Now, my young friends, in case any
of you should come across nice round,
yellow mock orange, I'll tell you what
to do with it-provided your grand
mother already has good one in her
stocking basket. If not, you should
give it to her, and get yourself another
one. A canary bird told me that the
way old ladies darned stockings was to
put a big yellow ball in them, and then
pick at them with a queer sort of
shiny steel bill !; and though his de-
scription wasn't clear, I knew what he
meant. Well, you take your round
mock orange, and force a knitting
needle clear through it from the stem
end, SO that it will turn evenly on the
needle. Then, with a blunt needle,
you mark the grand divisions of the
earth upon it-Europe, Asia, Africa,
and America (you see I know them)-
in just the right shape, and then you
put in your oceans and islands, and
what not, all complete. Next you go
over all the markings with cancels
hair brush dipped in red ink, or violet
ink, or any water-color you choose,
taking care to wipe the orange off in
stantiy with soft, damp cloth. The
color will sink into the markings and
leave the surface of the mock-orange
clean. Then you have your globe com
plete. And you can make a little
prop, if you are ingenious, that will let
your globe revolve on it's knitting
needle or axis, at precisely the right
angle. After while it gets dry and
hard, and if you please you can go over
the markings once more with fine pen
dipped in the proper color.
How did [ know all this I?
[ heard dear little girl telling an
other little girl-and "you can't think, !"
said she, "what real splendid fun it
is. "-Frona ''Jack-dra-the-Pul2oit," ST.
Nicholas.

The gentlemen connected with some
pleasant exercises at the late Centenary
Fair" beg leave to say in. reply to card
from DIR. Edwards that the playful notice
which recently obtained currency through
the press concerning proposed public en-
tertainmeHt5 by those gentlemen, was IN!
tended in nowise to involve the, Methodist
Church. 1t cWas stated that some ladies
" connected with the late Fair had asked
them to give public performance. II was
further. stated thats,! ip compliance = With
that, request, such performance would
be gfVen-a performance which would
embrace things not included in what
took place ut the Fair. To that Fair
these gentlemen had willingly contributed
what they could to enhance its attractions,
and thus increase its receipts. II was further
stated that such exhibition would take place,
probably, at the .Opera.House. 1t was not
stated that 1t would be for the benefit Of any
church. With the .Doctor's impression he
expressed himself as it might be supposed
he would; but he labored Under some wrong
impressions. The gentlemen disclaim all
purpose to connect the Church with their
enterprise in any manner. 1t Is not deemed
necessary to do more than reproduce the par
