The Wind Harp,

tacks equ1distant from each other, and
In the other Stat fix the same number
Of twisting screws, such as are used
In banjos. From these stretch your
strings, which should be all the same
size and of catgut. The "G'' guitar
string will be. found the best for this
purpose. Now tune all the strings in
unison, and the harp is. completed. 1t
is, however, well to add a reflector to
throw out the sound. This is easily
accomplished by placing thin board
above the box, supporting it on sticks
fitting into rests, which are glued in
the corners of the box The reflector
also answers as shield to prevent in
jury to the harp.
Place the harp in a current Of air, as
upon the sill of a half-open window.
The sound produced by the wind pass
ing over the strings as it rises and
falls is Of a drowsy, lulling character
and extremely melodious.

CFOcOdfles' Tears

tained IN a pure state with difficulty,
we substitute substance that is sold

of "croeodiles tears. 1t comes in pack
ages Of prepared pasteboard saturated

package contains forty or fifty. When
the experiment is tried care should be
taken to see that the glass stands
firmly, as any shaking will spoil the
result Then a little square Of the
'crocodfle's tears" is thrown on the
surface Of the water. At once the
fluorescein in the pasteboard will be-
gin to dissolve in the water and ap-
pear as wonderful mushroom or nail
shaped streaks that are colored beau

Simple Useful Gifts:
A very little girl wants to know wha.
she can make for her mothers birth
day gift. One thing which she will
find acceptable and which you can
make yourself is set a table mats, Of
coarse white crochet cotton. Crochet
two round mats for vegetable dishes
or tureens and one oval for a platter.
You can make more in the set If you
wish. Crochet them in simple double
crochet close together until they are as
large as you want them and then finish
them with a scollop all around. We
know of little girl of eight years who
made her mamma just such a present
the other day and her mamma was
very proud of them, you may be sure.
Another useful little gift little girl
might make for a, friend OF sister or
any one who uses pen and ink is a
PEN wiper. Buy small china doll
one that stands firmly. Make for her
several chamois skin skirts of different
lengths, putting on the shortest one
first. Pink the edges. The costume
should be a students red or black
gown and cap, and put tiny roll Of
parchment in her hand. If you have
to tie the roll in her hand use fine silk
OF the same color as the parchment,
and it will scarcely show. The gown
should be long and full The material
may be silk, velvet Or cashmere The
cap should have a square top, fastened
to narrow band fitting close to the
head. The doll should have the ap-
pearance of stateliness. Whenever the
chamois is soiled replace the skirts,
and thus the pen wiper is always
clean.

In the first place, it is quite evident
that due regard for the welfare of the
body does not permit one to eat full
meal Immediately following hard Ia
Dor, either physical or mental. The
vital energy has become depleted and
needs period of rest, during which it
can gather it's scattered powers and
prepare them for exertion in new di-
rection; because the labor Of digestion
is labor, just as much as that of dig.
ging trench, or plotting novel, al
though in different way.
The exhausted housewife who drops
in her chair at the dinner table, after
having prepared food for a large fami-
ly, declaring that she is 'ttoo tired to
eat" states, in non-technical phrase, a
truth which students of the science Of
nutrition have long recognized. A suit
able period of rest should intervene
before any solid food is taken into the
stomach. The middle-aged person who
feels an unaccountable "drowsiness''
soon after dinner should recognize that
it is the demand, becoming imperative,
Of nature calling for the opportunity
to do it's work of digestion in proper
manner. All Of the energies are re-
quired for the process Of digestion, and
the rest Of the system naturally falls
into the condition Of repose which will
aid the natural process.

and the remaining half-hour is given to

Thirty thousand visitors is the number

Vention, now in session here.
Secretary Baer stated to-day that this
convention would outnumber in dele

if the registrations from within the
State were not counted. This he con-
sidered fair basis of comparison, as
States like Massachusetts are exceed

Following the preliminary sunrise
prayer-meetings in thiTty-fve churches
and the Bible book study in the New

as usual, in the three tents on the

THAT soUDAN CAMPAIGN.

Inside Truth OF British Object Talked
About.
LONDON, July 1.-THE truth regard
ing the real motives of Lord Salisbury s
SOudan enterprise is at length begin
ming to be understood on this side.
One paper today plumes itself on the
discovery that the expedition is not a
mere purposeless adventure, but a
grave undertaking, decided upon from
motives of high state policy and after
anxious elaboration.
The real objective is Khartoum, not
Dongola. It is desired to counterfeit
the French movement in the south. 1t
is, in fact, race to Khartoum for At
rica's richest provinces.
If the British get there and THEN de-
signs are carried out we shall see the
development of one of the most colos-
sal and statesmanlike schemes of i'm
perial and commercial expansion the
world has ever witnessed. 1t is a part
OF the scheme to open up the great
waterway from Eastern Africa into
the Nile and down to Berber, with a
railway from Berber and a branch from
Kassala.
The foregoing statement is pretty
well correct Presently the truth will
dawn upon the French Chauvinists and
newspaper firebrands, and then the fat
will likely be in the fire.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-The
wholesale price of wine has been adj
vanced 21a cents a gallon by the large
dealers who control the trade Both
dry and sweet varieties are included in
the raise. These consist of Claret, Tin
fandel, Hook, Reisling and ChasseIas,
and Port, Sherry and Angelica. Esti-
mating that there are 10000, 900 gall
Ions on hand, the advance will place
$25O,000 in the pockets of the holders.
Ordinary Claret has gone up from 25
cents to 2712 cents gallon. It's price
before the combinations in the trade
were made was 111a cents. At that fig
ure it did not pay to produce it. Now
however, the profit is large for all con-
cerned, grape growers, wine makers and
dealers. The question is, which class
shall advantage most, and in the strug-
gle prices paid by the people are likely
to go up still higher.

WASHINGTON, July 13-After one
of the most successful and enthusiastic
gatherings known in the history OF the
organization, the fifteenth Internation-
al Christian EndeaVOr Convention,
which began last Thursday, came to a
close tonight. The local committe of
1896 has every reason to feel satisfied
with the result OF its work, and con-
graduates itself on it's splendid achieve
ments. A great deal of hard work was
necessary in making preparations for
the gathering, and it is safe to say that
in no convention of the organization
have these labors been more thorough
ly and conscientiOusly performed The
citizens of Washington entered into
the spirit of the affair with zeal, and
contributed, both by money and other
ways, to the success of the convention.
