Shoes that are sharply pointed at the

spread or split after it has been worn
a few times. High heels. too tend to

For it Is beautiful place for girls

Where there's no scolding and lots OF

And no lost balls or broken toys

There's horns to blow and drums TO

And plenty of candy and cakes to eat,
And no one ever cleans their feet
And no one ever tries!

A Natural TobogEnn Slide in the
BED of II River.
In Perak, state in the Straits Set
Elements. the Malays have one form OF
amusement which is probably not to
be enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is huge granite slope In the
course of mountain river, down
which the water trick'es about two
inches deep. the main stream having
carved a bed by the side of the boul-
der. This rock. the face of which has
been rendered as smooth as glass by
the constant flow of water during hun
dreds cf years, the Malays-men, wo-
men and chi dren-have turned into a
toboggln slide. says a writer in Lon
don Little Folks.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water with their
feet straight out and hand on each
side for steering. and then slide down
the sixty feet into pool Of water.
This is favorite sport on sunny
mornings, as many as two hundred
folks being engag d at a time, and
sliding so quickly one after another, or
forming rows of two, four and even
eight persons that they tumble into
the pool confused mass of scrambling
creatures. There is little danger in the
game, and though some choose to sit
on piece of plantlin, most of the to-
bogganers are content to squat on their
launches.

| The diamond is one Of the things
that the public is never tired Of hear

discuss, and, above all, to possess; but
few have any idea of the tedious and
laborious process by which the precious
gem is mined and brought to the light
of day. All the entrances to the mines

ten permit of the manager will enable
the visitor to descend the huge shaft
which pierces the working level, say,

mine. which are about seven feet high,
the miners arc hard ut work drilling
holes in the adamant ground with u
large crowbar, which they use with
both hands. After making six holes
each, which may take three hours, or
six, or longer, according to the hard
ness Of the stratum they are working
in, they ARE allowed to retire to their
homes in the compound, and rest for
the remainder of the day. Dynamite

holes and exploded, and the blue

fear the next child soon to be born to

that prayers have been offered in some
Of the churches by the superstitious,
not to say unscientific, subjects of the
empire to avert the calamity. Accord
ing to an old prophecy, the Hohenzol-
lern dynasty will surely fall when an
emperor has seven sons. AS William
is already the father Of six, and but
one daughter, it will be understood that
a mate for the little girl is more desir-
able than the lucky number seven. But
it does not need other boys in the fam
lily to open the eyes Of the German en-
