Why is a fish larger at the front end
than at the rear end of it's body? There
is probably more than one cause for
this popularity of structure, but pos
sible special reason has been suggested,
by Photographic study of the motion
of liquids disturbed by obstacles of
various shapes. 1t has been found in
this way that when water flows past
an obstacle shaped like a fish, no ed
dies are formed when the blunt end of
the water is greatly disturbed when
the acute end is presented toward the
stream. So it would seem that the
fish has at least one good reason for
being born with its head on the blunt
end of it's BODY.

Partition this platform off into the
rooms of great mansion. You can do
this by mailing laths at the corners of
the rooms and hanging portleres plain
ly across. Then curtains can be made
of any dark pretty stuff. You do not
have outside walls because people
could not then look into the rooms.
Carpet the platform with some pleas
ing smooth fabric.
To furnish the rooms. of course, ev-
cry girl contributes her doll furni-
ture. and you all contribute of your
pocket money to buy anything lack
ing.
There may be an entrance hall with
hat rack, an umbrella stand, chairs
and tissue paper palms in small vases
as jardinieres.
The next two rooms can be arranged
as dressing-rooms. There will be
doll man servant in one in dress suit,
and in the other doll lady's maid in
her white cap and apron. The beds
should be piled with dolls wraps
and bonnets, and coats and hats.
There should be chairs, and table and
mirrors. combs and brushes and toilet
things.
The drawing-room will have the
piano and some chairs, but the chief
thing is to have pictures on the curtain
walls, strips of white lace to indicate
windows. and cornices of tiny vines, a
mantel banked with flowers, and an
arch of flowers, under which the bridal
party will stand. Have a man doll sit
ting at the piano Then there is the
room to display the presents These
presents are shown on tables-furni-
ture. dishes, imitation silverware,
which is now made for dolls and put
in fancy cases: fans, parasols, jewelry,
dolls lamps, bookcases. vases-all the
bright. pretty things a happy young
doll bride can want when she goes TO
housekeeping.
Lastly comes the supper-room with
doll walters in attendance, and large
table beautifully laid with lace and
satin ard set with china. silver, flowers
and all the pretty cakes and bonbons
ever eaten at wedding.
In the drawing-room the wedding is
going on. The doll bride is in white
dress with a train and veil and the
bridegroom is in evening dress. Near
them stand two bridesmaids and the
maid of honor, all tiny dolls with
baskets of flowers. They stand in
front of a clergyman in black gown.
Near by stand two couples. the pa
rents of the bride and groom. The
guests are mostly lady dolls. all dressed
in the height of fashion. in gay silks
and laces, and they all stand. 1t is
easy to make dolls stand by means of
wire standards, which can be bent into
shape. They are secured to the floor
by stout mating taclks, and go up
under the dolls clothes, and can, if
need be, be tied to the body.
1t is hard to say which is more enjoy
able, the getting ready or the show it.

RAISING CALVES.
Food That Is Almost Sure to Produce n
Fine Growth.


A calf may be fed SKINNED milk
when one week old, with the addition
of one gill of boiled flaxseed, increas-
ing the ration gradually to pint per
day when four weeks old, and then
adding fine middlings or corn and oats
ground together, or pint to one quart
of oats unground.
Flaxseed Cruel, with plenty Of
SKINNED milk, will produce a very fine
growth, leaving the calf as mellow to
the touch as if sucking the COW. A
calf two months old will gain three
pounds per day on this ration.
The oil taken off in the cream can be
replaced for one-fifth of the money
value of the cream. Butter dairymen
may raise a calf TO each COW upon
SKINNED milk and little additional
food, such as indicated, and get one
fourth to one-third as much profit out
OF the refuse milk as out of the butter.
Selling butter robs the land of nothing
valuable-only carbon which has no
manurial value.-Andrew ii. Ward, in

Our Indebtedness to PompeiI.

The American Druggist says that we
are indebted to Pompeii for the great
industry of canned fruit. Years ago,
when the excavations were just begin
ming, party of Cincinnatians found in
what had been the pantry of the house
many jars of preserved figs One was
opened and they were found to be fresh
and good. Investigation showed that
the figs had been put into jars in q
heated state, an aperture left for the
steam to escape and then sealed with
wax. The hint was taken, and the
next year fruit canning was introduced
into the United States, the process boz
ing identical with that in vogue Ia
Pompeii twenty centuries ago.

can club their dolls and toys together.
So can the children of a school. or even
half a dozen little girls anywhere.
And, of course, any one little girl can
give dolls wedding as feature of a
private party of her own.
Still it is very interesting to get up
little parlor entertainment in company
with others for some charity and to
sell tickets, and have all the grown-up
people come in full dress and enjoy the
pretty show.
The tickets should be sent up in the
form of wedding invitations, written
on the tiniest of paper. When pre-.
sented at the door they can be handed
back as souvenirs. The price should
be about five cents.
