know that if we fold sheet Of paper
on perfectly plane table, the line of
the folded part will not be changed be-
tween either of its parts, but will be
perfectly straight line.
The square Is also an instrument In
dispensablc to the draughtsman.
We can also make this of sheet of
strong paper, by folding it first in
two, and then in four, taking care to
make the two parts of the first fold
coincide exactly with the others. The
second fold will be perpendicular to
the first, because it forms with the first
fold two adjacent equal angles, con-
sequently two right angles, and the
angle which has it's summit at the
meeting point of the two folds will
form the right angle Of our square.
Now will show you how to impro-
wise a pair Of compasses. Take q
penknife with two blades, the larger
the better. The point of one of the
blades will be the sticking point of the
compasses. We stick it at the center
of the circle Tor of the arc of the cir
cle) which we are about to trace. Now
fasten firmly the end of the ether blade
in piece of pencil, whose length will
vary according to the size of the knife.
This will be the tracing point. Now
we may cause the opening of the blades
to vary according to the radius of the
circumference which we wish to trace;
and we should hold the instrument
lightly by the end of the handle near
est the tracing point, as shown in our
illustration. La Nature.

A HANDSOME MONKEY.
The Teetcc by Far tho Most Beautiful In
North America.

The Teetce by Far tho Most Beautiful In
North America.
The red backed teetee, or squirrel
monkey, is by far the most beautiful in
form and color of all the North Amer
lean monkeys, us well as being an in
teresting pet in captivity. The length
of the head and body is about twelve
inches, and the tail is about the same
length. In color the whole skull cup
Is black; the ears, face, neck and throat
are white; the back is reddish brown;
the sides of the body, forearms, hands
and feet are ocher yellow, and the
arms, thighs and upper two-thirds of
the tall are olive and gray. The tail is
not prehensile, and the outer third of
it is covered with rather bushy, black
hair, longest at the end.
once owned a very near relative to
the species described above-a teetee,
but not this identical species-which
was about the size of a gray squirrel,
with the nervous activity and spright-
illness of three. / bought it of q sleepy
Indian in South America, and it proved
to be the plague of several peoples
lives.
He could perform one feat which l
am sure no other monkey can. He
could easily climb up the corner of n
smoothly-planed, square-cornered door
casing simply by excrting pressure in
two directions with his hands and feet.
One evening in Demarara, once saw,
during half an hours padding on the
Essequibo river, about sixty of these
little fellows settling themselves for
the night They huddled close to-
gether on the large horizontal
branches, like a flock of sparrows,
partly for company, and partly for
warmth. One that we shot and roasted
for supper, proved to be better favored
than any squirrel | ever ate. These
monkeys are SO small they are moi
swift climbers in the tree-tops, and al
though easy enough to shoot, are des
perately hard to find afterward. VIM

INDIAN BOYS AT PLAY.
An Ex-Savage's Rccollcctions of the wild
Life.

Our sports were nodded by the life
and customs of our peoplc-indeed we
practiced only what we expected to do
when grown. Our games were feats
with the bow and arrow, foot and pony
races, wrestling, swimming, and imi-
tations of the customs and habits OF
our fathers. We had sham fights with
mud balls and willow wands, we played
lacrosse, made war upon bees, shot
winter arrows (Which were used only
in that season., and coasted upon ribs
of animals and buffalo-robes.
No sooner did the boys get together
than they divided into squads, and
chose sides; then n leading arrow was
shot at random into the air. Before it
fell to the ground, volley from the
bows of the participants followed.
Each player was quick to see the direc.
ton and speed of the leading arrow,
and he tried to send his own with the
same speed and at an equal height, so
that when it fell it would be closer
than any of the others to the first.
1t was considered out of place to
shoot an arrow by first sighting the
object aimed at. This was usually i'm
practicable, because the object was al.
most always in motion, while the
hunter himself was often on the back
of pony in full gallop. Therefore, it
was the offhand shot that the Indian
boy sought to master. There was an
other game with arrows which was
characterized by gambling, and was
generally confined to the men.
Tho races were an everyday occur.
renee. At noon the boys were usually
gathered by some pleasant sheet OF
water, and as soon as the ponies were
watered they were allowed to Craze fol
an hour or two, while the boys stripped
for their MONDAY sports. Boys of al
ages were paired for spin" and the
little red men cheered on their favor
ties with spirit! AS soon as this was
ended the pony races followed. All the
speedy ponies were picked out and
riders chosen. If boy said, ~ Cur
not ride" what shout went up! Such
derision!
Last of all came the swimming. A
little urchin would hang to his pony'i

head above water and glided sportively
along. Finally the animals were driver

Rema rItahle Little Magneta.

A magnet which the great Sir Isaac
Newton wore as set In his finger
ring is said to have been capable of
raising 74G grains, or about $50 times
its own weight of three grains, and to
have been much admired in conse-
quence of its phenomenal power. One
which formerly belonged to Sir John
Leslie, and which is now in the Royal
Society's collection at Edinburgh, has
still greater powers. 1t weighs but
