ATAILLESS KITE.

This is the time of kite fiying and the
boys are ready for any novelty that will
add ZcSt tO.the sport. \ Number OF wears
ago some gentlemen OF Rochester discoy-
cred in a book of designs printed in Hol-
land a drawing of a kite which should
float in the air without the necessity Of a
tail balance. One of the gentlemen con-
StruCted one. and when he displayed il
to his iucredulous friends theyderided his
assurances there was go in it, and that
he would make IL go. The first attempt
was a failure. Indeed. if the kite doesn't
rise on the first sufficient gust of wind,
it should be discarded and a second kite
made. The second attempt was de
cided success. SO much 50 that as the
erratic thing cavorJed beneath the,empy-
rean everybody wondered what strange
creature of the air ii might be- Recently
another one of the singular looking flyers
was put up and il would have done one
good to have seen how delighted the boys
OF twenty or thirty years ago were As
the tailleSS kite SCARED away into the
blue depths. now plunging ecCentUcally
towards contiguous dwellings and again
gracefully swimming up towards the
zenith. II is intimated that taille-s kite
flying viii be tie popular amusement this
season. For those who desire TO try
hand at the novelty we give brief direc-
tiOnS as to the construction. The shape
of the kite is what the boys cali -'dia-
mOnd. 80 The crOSS-har. which in tail
kites of the diamond pattern is straight,
should he made of hickory, and bowed
by connecting thceuds WiJha taut string.
1t should then be placed ut right angles
with the perpendicular stick and fastCn-
ed securely. the bend Of the bow being
backward from the intersection gI the
sticks. Run "a string around over the
end OF each stick and cover the frame
with light tissue paper. Fora fouT-Io0t
kite the perpendicular stick should tN-
tend three feet below the point oL inter
section with the bow and one foot above
it. The bow should Ice one and one
half feet long ON each side of the point
of intersection with the perpendicular
stick. The belly cord should be united
at the point of intersection. and at the
same distance down the perpendicular
stick as the arms of the bow extend on
each side of the perpendicular stick.
The band Is attached at only two points,
the point Of intersection and at 4 point
below, in the fouT-foot kite mentioned,
one and one-half feet below the point Of
intersection. Tie these two strinEs to-
gether and attach the captive cord,
balancing it 50 that the captive cord
shall be exactly opposite the point Of iE-
teTSccti0n. or a. right angles with the
perpendicular stick frame. The face Of
the kite is then convex and the back, of
course, concave. If at first yOu don't
succeed. try again. Il is fun for al
sorts of boys. This form of kite is some
time very eccentric and stS game -

4 HORSE WHO KNEW THE (. p. {.
\. SIGN.-A somewhat singular incident
happened yesterday ~ the cOrnerOf South
and German streets, which attracted a
large number Of spectators, few Of whom
failed to appreciate the situation. At
this corner is the office of the president
of that humane organization, the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals.
On the front of the office hangs the sign
of the society, bearing upon its face the
picture Of d cruel driver beating an over
loaded dray horse. 1t was about :. p. NJ.
yesterday, and the streets were thrOnged
with business men, when q horse and
cart were driven down South street. the
horse considerably the worse for wear
the cart very much dilapid2ted and some
what overloaded. As the horse reached
the corner. he slightly raised his head
gave one glance at the humane society S
sign. and without more ado laid himself
down on the pavement in harness, his
head toward the sign and his tail toward
the street. II was fancied by those who
witnessed the performance that the horse
heaved sigh Of relief as he reached the
pavement and lay under the shadow Of
the society. Tender hands raised the
animal from the ground, though he look
ed constantly as if he would prefer To
remain where he was. and seemed to
think that he had fallen in good com

themselves into a solid body and support

not only raised her to the surface. but
they tloated her ashore, after which they

her UP To the house, over half mile,
