Cleyerly Caught.

Here is good story of the redoubta,
Bile Master OF Balliol. Not long ago an
undergraduate of that college lost a
roll of bank notes. He had the numbers
and wisely told Mr.. Jowett of his loss.
"Give me the numbers and say nothing
about it to any one" said the Master,
who then sent the numbers to the bank
teller with hint not to disclose them.
Next day the Oxford boardings were COW
cred with posters proclaiming the loss,
but giving the wrong numbers. The
thief fell into the trap and presented
one of the notes at the bank, with the
prompt result that he was arrested That
undergraduate has recovered all his
notes and thinks that Mr.. Jowett ought
to have been detective. - London Life.

Useful Hints.

Never leave the cover of the tea canis-
ter.
Use newspapers to polish window
glass and mirrors.
Flour should always be sifted just be-
fore you wish to use it.
Salts of lemon will take spots out of
linen and also remove stains from wood.
A spoonful of fine salt or horse-radish
will keep pan of milk sweet for several
days.
Carpets will look much brighter after
sweeping if wiped off with damp
cloth.
White and pale shades Of paint may be
beautifully cleaned by using whiting in
the water.
Do not leave any tomatoes in the bot
tom of a tin can. but pour them into an
earthen bowl till you want them This
applies to nearly all canned vegetables.
Kerosene will brighten silver, but an
easy way to keep bright the spoons and
forks in daily use is to leave them in
strong borax water for several hours.
The water should be boiling hot when
the silver is putin.
A pie that is properly baked will slip
from the tin with careful handling, and
if placed on wire frame where the air
has access to the bottom it will cool
without becoming moist, and when
ready to be served it can be transferred
to plate.
One of Cord Cheer readers has excel
lent success in cutting glass by holding

Pictures of two of these crude efforts
at doll-making are given. They show
that little girls have always had the
same girl-nature they now have, and that
older people have always tried to please
and satisfy it in the same way.
The puppets, originally intended to
crafty children, ended in being a diver

Puppet Shows In the Middle
Ages-How and Where
Dolls are Made

Dolls have amused the world for ages
and seem to have been well known in
the days of the Pharuahs; for in
the tombs Of ancient Egypt figures of
painted wood, of terra Gotta, of ivory,
and of rags have been found whose limbs
were made movable for the delight OF
children. 1t is quite probable that
Fharoah's daughter threw aside the
mimic child for the real baby which she
discovered in the famous bulrush
basket. In the tomts Of Etruria-by
the way, where was Etruria2-similar
toys have been discovered; tLey were
spread in the East, and in China, as well
as in India, movable figures were made
to act from time immemorial, by hand
and on strings, or as shadows behind .
curtain. The ancient Greeks were ex-
perts in the manufacture of puppets, in
cluding wax dolls, and several of their
poets allude to offerings of dolls to
Artemis and Aphrodite made by maidens
before their marriage.

possibly the claim is true, for you know
the good ship sailed from Dutch port,
and Dutch children have for centuries
had the best dolls the world affords.
Still there is to be taken into account the
prim notions OF the Puritans They had
no time for play Of any, and they were
such thoroughly practical and work-a-
! day people that it is doubtful if they
ever allowed their children to play with
dolls.
However, this may be, it is certain that
generations succeeding the Puritans in

Curious Experience In Barbados.


Lying beyond st. Andrews, a long
drive from Bridgetown, and occupying
the eastern face of the northern end OF
the island, are a series Of remarkably
steep cliffs, that climb out of the sea to q
perpendicular height of hundreds of feet.
To their bases come along Atlantic swells
that have met no hindrance to their will
for 5000 miles, and these attack this
rocky barrier with a ferceness that gives
TO the coast some of the most magniii-
cent sea effects that / have ever watched.
Even North Irish or Hebridean cliff
surges were but baby play beside them.
Striking with a boom, they mounted
almost to the summit with a green, CLASSY
rush that reminded me Of Niagara just
above the fall; then combing into spray,
lashed out greedy fangs Of foam at the
locker on, and rsreatcl with a roar Like
near and heavy thunder.
They followed in quick succession,
each seeming 10 climb a little higher than
the last, until ones senses were quite up
set by enormous force, and we expert
enced q curious illusion Of motion. Land
aud wave were waltzing 10 the music Of
of the sea. An internal one, two, three,
one, two, three movement began; solid
rock lost its anchorage, and the world
went round and round until giddiness
came and the steadiest head dragged the
rest away. There was a wild look in
my companions eyes, and she was half
hysterical when the earth regained its
senses a little away from the orchestra's
reach.-Dr. William F. Hutchinson in
