the German flag should be seen more
widely, to strengthen the national feeling
in Germans abroad. This, he said, would
be more effective than protection.

HIS BIG MOUTH.
The Embarrassing Frankness Of Youth on
Railroad Car.

erations and doubtless always will. Re-
Gently witnessed an instance that was a
little unusual in the sang froid displayed
by the child's victim.
I was crossing Indiana in Baltimore
and Ohio sleeper with a friend of Scotch
Irish descent, in whose features the Mile
sian traits are prominent, especially the
mouth, whose size is relieved to the utmost
by a smooth shaver face.
To while away the time we got up
game of whist, inviting for partners two
commercial travellers, who occupied the
opposite section. The section in front of
us was occupied by stylishly dressed la
dy, with a little girl of about years.
AS the game progressed we noticed that
the child was .kneeling on the car seat,
gazing steadily at my friend, never taking
her eyes from his for moment. When
the rubber was finished, the drummers
stepped across to their section, and my
friend and rose to stretch our legs.
The action seemed to break the spell
upon the child, and she cried shrilly:
"Oh, mamma! See what a big mouth
that man has!'
The young mother blushed furious red
and caught hold Of the child, saying:
Hush Hush!'
but he has, mamma" persisted the
child, climbing to her knees and fixing
her gaze on my friends capacious NORTH,
which was just beginning to expand into
an all embracing smile.
"Oh, look, mamma! It's getting bigger
all the time!"
At this the whole car became uproarious,
and the mother pulled the child down,
with a look of exquisite torture on her
face.
Madam" said my friend leaning for
ward, don't remove the child. She is
quite right My mouth is large, and am
not at all annoyed by it,"
On returning from the next eating sta
ton we found the section vacant and
learned from the porter that the mother
had moved her embarrassing infant into
the other sleeper.-New York Herald.

How to Make a Ball.

Boys who are always losing their balls
can make them for themselves Take a
common cork and cut it round as possible,
making 1t the size of an ordinary marble.
Then tear off very narrow strips of rags
and wind these, one at time, around the
cork until the ball is of the desired size
Then cover it with cloth, or If a boy Is
fortunate enough to have an obliging sis
ter she will mako cover of crewels by
dividing the ball into quarters, winding
the wool several times around it, then
buttonholing the quarters all around one
half, then the other half, until an edge is
formed on each side of each quarter, then
buttonholing with any colors of wool un
til the quarters are quite filled up, when
seam finishes them, and capital ball Is
the result, costing nothing to make, but
really quite serviceable. says Golden Days.

Of your friends and tell him he may have
the coin if he succeed in brushing it off

Your friend tries his best, but his efforts
are all in vain, for the coin sticks to your

he is forbidden to strike your hand vio-

the coin to fall instantly to the ground.
He must be content to try to brush it off
