there on the floor while she went into
the kitchen. Pretty soon Daisy, the
white kitten, came in and jumped up
on the table. When she saw the ring
she whisllcd 1t off, rolled It over the
floor, and had fine time.
At last as she was pushing it about
in a corner it sank into n small hole in
the carpet that moth had made. She
tried to get it again, but by and by it
Slipped clear out of sight. After she
had done this she strollcd away to the
barn and went to sleep on the hay
Frank had watched her movements
but as he could not talk he was unable
to report her wrong doing.
When his mamma looked for her
ring she could not find it anywhere.
and she felt very sorry.
For nearly three months the ring la,
in it's snug hiding place During thai
time Frank had been growing and
learning u great deal lie coull get
all around the loor now One day
when he was creeping in the corner he
found the tiny moth hole and put his
finger into it Then he would Otter
sro there and do the same thing till the
hole grew larTer.
NJ last he saw SOmct1lny SHINING
down among the loose threads and he
pulled out the lost ring He crrpt to
his mamma and held it up to her: and
oh. how surprised she was.
Where did Frank find it?" she en-
claimed.
Then he crcpt back into the corner
and showed her the hole in the carpet;
but she could not think how the ring
ever got there.
When his sister Maggie came from
school and heard about 1t, she said: 81
believe Daisy was the rogue that lost
it; for yesterday she pushed my thin
BILE off the table and rolled it over the
floor for long time"
So they agreed that this was the way
the mischief had been done.-M. E. N

hinges, strips of leather or cloth
glued on inside. Then get a
piece of half-inch board and saw out a
portion just large enough to fit inside
the box; mark off the squares on this
board so that the lines will cross each
other as near together as the spools can
stand without interfering. At each
point of crossing bore q hole with a
very small gimlet and smooth off the
board neatly with sandpaper or plane;
then drive through these holes from
the under side some round wire nails
long enough to reach the top of the
spools.
Put this false bottom in the box and
along the front and ends bore as many
small thread holes as there are pegs in
the board. Put on n little metal
fastening to hold the cover down and
it is ready for decoration and use. A
small ornament traced on with a burn
ing iron point is permanent and quite
effective if carefully laid. out, or it may
be done with some dark wood stain
laid on with n small brush in imitation
of inlaid work.
After this is all donc varnish or oil
the box inside and out and it will make
very pretty and acceptable gift.-E

HANDY THREAD BOX.
It Is just the Thing for Boys to Make fnl

# Is just the Thing for Boys to Make fnl
Mother.
Probably nothing in the category of
domestic supplies is more productive
of displays of temper than spools of
thread which are left to work their
own sweet will in sewing basket.
Perhaps some of the romping boys
with patient mother would like to re-
ward this patience in some degree by
little work of their own in her be-
half. If so, what would be more ac-
ceptable than a neatly-arranged box
for spools of thread, one which will
keep all the various ends free from
snarls. The box shown in this cut is
made from cigar box of sufficient
depth to hold the size of spools to be
used and leave a little more than half
an inch space between the cover of the
box and the spools.
The box will probably be plastered
inside and out with paper decorations
hardly fitted to your purpose. Moisten
these with a sponge and they can soon
be scraped off with piece of glass or
a knife, or the box may be rubbed
down with coarse sandpaper and pol
ished with finer grade. When this
Is done tighten the joints and
fasten on the cover with small

SOME interesting facts about the
nature of leprosy and its prevalence in
the Indian empire are brought out in
the report of a special British commits
sion appointed to investigate the sub
ject. There has recently been consider
able talk over what was said to be an
abnormal increase of the disease in
India, but the figures and facts reported
by the commission are rather reassuring
than otherwise. In 1871 there were in
the neighborhood of 100000 lepers in
the areas covered by the census of that
year, and in 1891 this number had in
creased to only 105, 900, the ratio to the
total population being approximately
the same, so per 10000 for each
enumeration. The commissioners are
inclined to trace a connection between
the dampness of the climate and the
prevalence of the disease, and it is said
that in those localities where cholera is
epidemic, leprosy also is most fire.
quently encountered. Bad social condi-
tions, unwholesome sanitation and the
like are beyond dispute prime factors
in the propagating of the malady, and it
is a significant fact that the greatest
sufferers from it are the natives them
selves, while the European portion of
the population is comparatively exempt.
The commissioners deny that there is
any ground for suspecting a connection
between the spread of leprosy and the
practice of vaccination, and declare
that "leprosy in India cannot be con-
sidered a hereditary disease, and they
would even venture to say that the evil
dence which exists is hardly sufficient
to establish an inherited specific predis-
position to the disease by the offspring
of leprous parents to any appreciate
degree"

Gentlemen, having little confidence in

day I seldom give them trial, but the
pleasant personal acquaintance with your

any statements made by you regarding
your medicinal preparations could be i'm
phi lilly accepted as fact. have recent
" been using your Dandelion Compound
for indigestion and an extremely bilious
condition of the stomach, and find the re-
suits justify all You claim for it. From

known people leads me believe it a blood
purifier and spring medicine of decided
value. Very Respectfully Yours,
