Now try if the two sides of the kite are
equally balanced, for if they are not the kite
will never fly properly This is ascertained
by balancing the kite frame horizontally on
the foreinger. II one side Is heavier than
the other, it will overbalance and the heavier
side hang towards the ground Now fasten a
string to point A and pass it to G, thence to
F, to D, and so back to A, fastening it well to
the lath at each point of contact Another
string from D to will further strengthen
the kite, the skeleton Of which is complete
with the exception Of two holes, g G, to be
carefully drilled in the back bone, for the
string by which the kite is to be flown.
For covering the kite, paste sheets Of paper
together, until you have surface equal in
extent to the kite. Lay the skeleton Of the
kite upon the paper, and cut the latter to the
shape of the kite, taking care to leave good
margin all round, which is to be turned over,
and securely pasted Take care not to fasten
the string by which you fly the kite too low
on its surface or the kite will "pitch," in.
stead of flying steadily The tail Of the kite
should be from ten to fifteen times the length
of the kite itself, and the paper and tassel OF
which it consists should be of sufficient
weight to balance the kite steadily in the air
In the more elaborate kites, made Of calico or
stuff, the tail sometimes consists Of number
of small bags of sugar loaf shape, opening
upwards, which catch the wind as the kite
flies, and thus balance it.

little, and they understand great deal 1t
was the children's duty to take the parrot in
every night when they went for supper, but
one night he was forgotten The children
ate their supper and went to bed 1t grew
dark and no one thought Of poor little Ben
They had all forgotten him
When all was still the mother, sitting
quietly in the parlor, heard plaintive voice
like child's, say, "It's dreffle dark out here =
At first she thought it must be her own lit
tie girl Then she remembered little Ben.
And running out she found the little creature,
lonely and dropping, all his bright gayety
gone. She took him in and soon cheered him
by her pity and care. Aud after that night
he was never forgotten again.

FOR THE AMUSEMENT AND ENTER

Any Boy Can Make His Own Kite by
Closely Following the Minute and Illus
trated Directions Which Are Here Given
for His Benefit.
In our opinion every boy ought to be able
to make kite for himself, instead of depend
ing on the toy makers; and as a stimulus to
constructive skill among our readers, we
give them some directions on which they can
rely.
Procure from the carpenter strip Of thin
light lath, of the length you desire your kite
to be- This is to form the back bone Of the
kite, and is marked A in the diagram. The
cross piece, c c, D D, consists of piece of
split cane, or osier wood, and should be about
two-thirds the length Of the back bone Fas-
ten this cross piece exactly by the center to
the back bone A, an inch or two from the top
tor across the top, If you prefer your kite
without an upper point. Make mick"
with knife at the point G and D Of the cross
piece, and pass string across the point B to
G and D, fastening it tightly. Here you will
have the rude outline Of your kite.

The Amount Realized Aggregates
$50, 900.


Yesterday was the third and last day
OF the North Alabama Improvement
Company's auction sale of town lots in
East Huntsville. The sale began as ad-
vertised at 2 p, M, with a fair sized
crowd in attendance.
AS soon as the first lot was put up the
bidding again became firm and rapid
and continued so until the close. A
considerable number of lots were sold,
all bringing god prices, the average
amount paid being something near $500.
At about 4:30 the sale was closed.
For the entire three days the
sale was a grand success. The land com
pany had arranged with the railroads to
have excursions from all the Eastern
Stat es run to Huntsville, but at the last
moment the railroad companies went
back on the contracts and for that reason
the attendance was not as large as was
expected
However the land company is so well
pleased with the success OF the first sale
that they will hold another big sale
sometime in the early part of the coming
fall. During the sale nearly hundred
lots were sold aggregating about $4,000.
