To Make Boys Happy.

Little boys are particularly delighted
with woolen balls and knitted reins. The
balls are made on q large scale exactly
as are the little WOODEN tassels used for
hoods and baby socksa Take perfectly
round piece of stout pastehoard jrst the
diameter you want yonr ball to be. Cut
good-sized circular hole in the center,
and with double zephyr Of any color
thread (double) on a worsted needle go
over and over the card evenly all around
until the hole is so filed with wool you
cannot force the needle through. Then
with sharp scissors clip the wool all
round the outer edge of the card, so that
the latter is exposed. Press the wool,
which has expanded when cut into ball,
away on one side SO that you can slip q
very stout but small twine around it
close to the card. Tie the twine ends
together as tightly and as firmly as pos
sible ; then cut and pull away the card
completely, and you have Il very pretty
and elastic ball. Trim the bali with
sharp scissors till completely smooth
and even.
For the knitted reins take double
zephyr wool and p;llr OF ivory knitting
needles. Cast on twenty stitches, and
knit in plain knit ng stripe Of ten
inches in length, always slipping the first
stitch OF every row cast oil. To each
end OF this stripe is attached circle for
the arms, which is made thus Take q
piece Of cord, the k'nd used for hanging
pictures, and make circle the size of q
child's arm ut the shoulder; sew the
ends firmly together, splicing the one q
little past the other; then cover the cord
with cotton, wool, or flannel, to make it
soft then cover lastly with a stripe Of
knitting, casting on eight stitches and
knitting the length required, plain every
row !; sew it on overcast on the inner
side. Before attaching the stripe (of
twenty stitches broad, which was first
knitted) to the armholes there ought to
be sewn upon it, with some contrasting
color, name slch as Beauty, Fairy.
ETC., and to the nader edge should be at
tached three orfvur little bells if the
knitting be Of green or crimson, make
the letters in yellow with gilt bells.

A Witty Judge.

Readers ofShakespeare have always en-.
joyed the wit of "Portj a, in the Merchant
of Venice, by which she saved "Antonio''
from the knife of ''Shylock. :" The pretend
ed Judge affirmed the right of "Shylock"
to his pound Of flesh, but added, should q
drop of blood be shed i'll taking it, his
life would be forfeited. A California
judge has shown equal wit.
A hard character, well-known as thief,
was indicted for entering miners tent,
and stealing a bag of gold dust. The
theft was proved. He had been seen to
cut a slit in the tent and reach in and
take the bag A bright thought occurred
to the counsel for the defence.
"How far did he get when he took the
dust?"
"About halfway in, as he reached
over" said the witness.
May it please your honor" said the
shrewd lawyer, 81 shall demand the

A New Commandment.

In the seventeenth century the minis

their adherents. It is among the tradi-

Of the family gatnerings, when Ruther-

servants, stranger knocked at the door
and begged shelier for the night. Tbs
minister kindly received him, and asked
him to take his place with the family
and assist at their religious exercises.
It SO happened that the question in
the catechism which came to the sitran-

A Family Of ChaMele0ns.

The chameieons have long been an
object Of peculiar interest to scientific
investigators, because of their curious
power Of altering their appearance to
conform to surrounding objects. DIR.

in the Popular Science Monthly the
result of numerous observations of a
family of chameleons which he has been
keeping. The efAasnalean lueat.ot change
it's color always to match its surround
ings, but its power to hide itself by q
change Of form is no less wonderful. In
q normal state of rest the color is Of light
pea-gTeen, at times blending with yellow.
The least excitement causes tranverse
stripes to appear, running across the
back and nearly encircling the body.
These stripes occupy about the same
amount OF space as the groundwork, and
are most susceptible 10 change of color.
At first they become deeply green, and,
il the excitement continues, gradually
change to black When placed upon =
tree, the groundwork becomes deep
green, and the stripes deeper green or
black, and so long ss they remain on the
trees the color does not change. Placed
ON the scarlet leaves Of the drac8na and
among the red flowers of the acacia, no
change was observed. But its changes
Of shape are still more remarkable.
Sometimes it assumes the form Of dis
