FoR BRIonr CHILDREN.
How They Can Make Toy Furniture from
Old Corks.

IL there's a box Of old corks In the
pantry the boy or girl. with jacknife,
can make whole set of furniture and
many other interesting things out OF
them.
All the tools and materials necessary
are a very sharp knife, a box OF matches,
bottle OF thick mucilage. Dob's water
color paints. few old calling cards,
hairpin or two. pair of stout scissors.
with sharp points, and the pin-cushion.
With these and the corks you can
find great deal of interesting amuse-
n.ent.
Perhaps the best thing to begin with
Is the cork out OF the mustard pot,
which is large and fiat. Snip the sui
phur heads of of four matches, leaving
them square at the ends. sharpen the
other ends little. make four holes
with the penknife in the under side of
the cork and stick the pointed ends of
the matches into these. Cut out q

larger thnn the mustard cork, paste IL
on top of the cork. and there stands
beautiful piece OF nursery carpentry.

Peculiar Election custom

There is a strange custom attendant
upon local elections, which has existed
Ina Brown township, Delaware county,
g., for the last 30 years. II is that Of
eating 40 dozen hard-boiled eggs on cleo
ton night at the expense OF the success
full candidates. Neither the bill OF fare
nor the number OF eggs Is ever varied.
when the count Is finished. a commit
tee having been selected 20 secure the
eggs and boil them, they nrc passed
around and everybody eats in the ut
most good fellowship. Only one man
ever dared 10 brave popular sentiment
and refused 10 pay his share of the ex-
ptnsc. He had been elected by large
majority. but was defeated at the next
election for no other reason than his
want of respect for the custom. No one
knows bow the custom originated.

Knew Him hr lis Lung.

a quaint anccdote is told of an en-
inent Scotch surgeon who was entirely
devoted 90 his profession. On one oc-
casion the poet Tennyson had con-
suited him about some affection of tho
lungs. and years afterward he returned
on the same errnnd. At That time he
was Lord Tcnnyson. and he was net
tied 20 observe that the surgeon had
neither any recollection OF his face.
nor-stiIl more gnlling-acquaintance
with his name. Tennyson then men,
toned the fact OF his former visit. but
still the surgeon failed TO remember
him. But when he put his car 10 tho
patients chest and heard the peculiar
sound whick the old aiiment had made
chronic. he at once exclaimed: "Ah.
remember yen, now! ! know you by
your lung" Tennyson said afterward
that he never felt 80 foolish Ina his life.

Let us spend a day on board of man

us suppose that she is in port. We take
our place on her deck very early in the
morning. The heavens are bright with
stars, and about us masts and rigging,
smokestacks and ventilators rise up in
shadowy outlines, while the big guns
loom ill-defined and ghostlike. In the
gangway sentinels are pacing; on the
bridge n quartermaster keeps his look

during which few shadowy figures

the ships bulwarls known as the ham
mock MEETINGS, opening them up and
preparing them for the reception of

signed in the morning orders. the OIL

ther Improvements Of Black Hawk
Watch Tower are renewed, mum.
Der of suggestions have been thrown
out by patrons OF the lovely resort
which the Fri. City Railway company
would do well to consider fully.
These expressions favor the erection
OF the new building some distance
east of the destroyed one, say 100
feet, and this would leave the sum-
NIT uuobstructed, and it could be de-
voted then to promenades.-seats,
etc, and the grand view of natures
panorama would be even more ap-
precisted than it has been in the
past. The sight, as presented now
that the Ion has gone, has aroused
this feeling. While lamentsbly
viewing the scene of destruction,
people find much to please in the
natural sight not before realized
since the work of improvement and
development began there.
A building situated off further to
the east would leave more room for
the Tower proper, and at the same
time all accommodations which can
only be provided by the reconstruc-
ton of the new inn would be fur
niShed. The idea is one worthy of
consideration, at sny rate.
