INDIAN CHIP CARVING.
Splendid Pnstime for Boys Who
Know How to Handle n Knife.

Splendid Pastime for boys Who
Know How to Handle Knife.
The art of Indian chip carving is one
which is just now coming much into
favor and it is really, for small articles,
even more effective than the relief cary
ing which has been in vogue for many
years.
Chip carving has also the advantage
of being easier to learn and of requiring
only one tool and, as the chips are small
and so easily kept together and the
wood does not need to be clamped onto
the table, it can be done even in the
drawing-room, and a small article, such
as photograph frame or matchbox, is
as nice as piece of needlework to take
with one when paying visit.
The only tool required is small knife,
as shown in diagram A, costing about
% cents, though, of course, a pair of
compasses. pencil and ruler are neces-
sary to draw ones own designs, and to
anyone with taste for geometrical
drawing this is almost as interesting as
the carving. The wood used must be
close-grained and soft, as no malet can
be used; white lime and sycamore be-
ing the best, though it can be done in
other kinds.
In beginning it is best to take some
simple pattern, such as is shown in dia-
gram b, which it will easily be seen is
composed of small squares crossed from
corner to corner. Grasp the knife firm
ly in the right hand, using your left
hand to guide and keep it steady. Press
the point of the knife deeply into the
center of the square and cut down the
line A, making the cut gradually shall
lower toward the corner of the square.

smothered by Fly Pnper.

There is danger in many apparently
harmless articles, and fly paper seems
to be one of these. A family, having
been greatly troubled with flies, dis
tributed lot of sticky fly papers around
the house. The next day, little boy
just learning to walk, while at play,
tripped and fell, his face sticking on n
piece of the fly paper. The parents
were out of the room, and the little one,
in trying to remove the paper, only
succeeded in getting II tightly sealed
around his mouth and nostrils, thus
off his breath. BY the merest
chance the mother happened in and
saved the child from suffocation. Even
then it was necessary to cut holes In the
paper hurriedly to allow breathing until
the paper could be soaked off.

SILK HAT AND OvERALLS.
a Little story of Street Life which
Points u Moral.

Points Il Moral.
Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also comfortable income.
Both men had alert intelligent faces,
and each looked as if he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority of those
on the street, but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
ton is national, and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another in
newspapers all over the country.
At the corner of Cedar street stood
short, chunky" lad, perhaps Is years
old, dressed in overalls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried q piece of lead
pipe, in the other soiled scrap of
paper. His smutty face had an anxious
look.
AS the two well-dressed men reached
the boy he stopped them with: SAY,
boss, kin yer tell me where dis place 2"
and he held out the scrap of paper. 81

street, an l can't hit de combination"
The older man took the paper with
pleasant smile and said: 81 shall be
very glad to help you if can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend. waded through
the mud on the crossing, and, with the
plumbers apprentice at his side.
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, MS he turned away, to say in
somewhat subdued tone: "Much
'bliged to yer, SIR"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend.
Seems to me you took a good deal
of trouble to set that boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.
at was good chance to teach him
manners" said the other Boys like him
are quick to learn. They work hard
and get on fast in business or trade, be-
cause some one corrects them when
they make mistakes. But how can they
learn polteness? They get their man
ners from the people around them. If
everybody's rude to them they must
grow up rude themselves. 1t seems to
me a good deal worse to be impolite to
boy like that than to be impolite to n
man in my own set."-Youth's Com

Diagram D.

Note that this cutting down does not
mean drawing the knife down the line,
but simply pressing it down onto the
line. When cutting down n line which
is longer than the knife the point must
be pressed into the center and drawn
down the line. Proceed in the same way
with lines b, c and ID, and so on with
all the squares.
In cutting down these lines the blade
of the knife must be pressed perfectly
straight into the wood or the point is
liable to break. Then put the point Of
your knife in at E, keeping the blade
nearly fiat against the wood, and draw
it down the line +, gradually pressing
the point into the center of the square,
so as to entirely detach the triangular
piece of wood. 1t will be seen by dia-
gram C that when all these triangular
pieces (G) have been taken line of
acknowledged pieces will be left.
Then with the point of your knife make
a small straight cut in each side of the
diamond, slanting toward the center,
and small slanting cut into the
straight one diamond d., and you will
have very pretty and effective little

Early Days of Kentucky.

Kentucky was formerly part Of vir-
ginia, and was settled by virginians,
who took with them their slaves, their
agricultural habits and their military
spirit. With the consent of Virginia,
Kentucky was separated from that state
and admitted to the union in 1892. The
people of this country have generally
emigrated in pretty straight lines to the
westward. AS virginians broke over the
mountains into Kentucky, so North
Carolinians crossed into the valleys Of
Tennessee. North Carolina gave up her
right to the territory west Of the noun
tains soon after the constitution was
formed. and what Il now Tennessee was
part of the Southwestern Territory, UNI

WHY SOLDIERS WE'RE TOO SHORT
Prince Bismarck Mystihed by Criti-
cism of German Troops.


Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh ex-
tension of her frontier at the expense
of Holland Dutch officer of high rank
happened to be visiting the court o.;
Berlin and among other spectacles got
up to amuse him review was organ
lied at Potsdam.
"What does your excellency think OF
our solders?" asked Prince Bismarck
as one of the regiments came marching
past in admirable order.
"They look as If they knew how to
fight" replied the visitor, gravely. "but
they are not quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer, and several other
regiments filed past in succession, but
the Dutchman's verdict upon each was
still the same: "Not tall enough"
At length the grenadiers of the guard
made their appearance magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great,
but the inexorable critic merely said:
"Fine soldiers, but not tall enough"
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined:
"These grenadiers are the finest men In
our whole army; may ask what your
excellency is pleased to mean by saying
that they are not tall enough p
The Dutchman looked him full In the
face and replied with significant en-
phasis: II mean that we can food our
country 10 feet deep."-London Tit

Remarkable bird story.

A sparrow flew into one of the large
rooms at the Burlington shops at Bur-
lington, Ia, the other day, and, getting
too near one of the wheels, was sucked
In. The workmen saw II and supposed
that it was instantly killed, as the wheel
was revolving at the rate of 100 revolu-
ticns q minute. When the machinery
was shut down at noon a gentle chirp
was heard from The wheel, and when one
of the workmen looked the sparrow was
there, still alive. 1t had chung to the
strengthening rod inside the wheel, and
was so dazed 1t could not fly. 1t was
picked up and placed on table, where
it recovered in short time and few
away. The wheel made $1,000 revolu-
tions while the bird was clinging to 1t,
and the sparrow had travelled more than
70 miles In that manner.

A MUSICAL MOUSE.
Her Song Was Clear Enough to lie
Heard Distinctly.

Heard Distinctly.
A good deal of skepticism prevails as
to the fact of there being singing mice.
but, having kept such youngster for
four years, an English gentleman is in
a position to speak with authority.
She was caught in a coal mine, was
brought to the surface and handed over
to the narrator. Thus commenced an
acquaintance which soon ripened into
intimacy, and which was only terminal
ed by her death. There was no doubt
MARBLE, rising and falling alternately,
and of sufficient power to carry from the
top to the bottom of the house when all
was quiet.
In appearance she was just an or
binary house mouse, with the usual
well-groomed whiskers, the beady
black eyes and an elegant tapering tail,
like the rest of her tribe. 1t was her
song alone which singled her out from
the dumb millions of her fellows, and
this song she poured out almost with
out intermission during her waking
hours.
The speculations of the learned have
been exercised over this matter, and
some have thought that bronchitis, by
narrowing the air passages, produces
noisy wheeling, which enthusiastic
admirers have dignified as song.
Others, with greater probability, have
suggested that every mouse is singing
mouse, but that on account of the dull
ness of our ears we hear only the bass
voiced vocalists, while the shriller melo-
dies of the great majority are unno-
ticed.
Everyone knows that the squeak of n
bat is not Chehrd by everyone, and that
one party in conversation on q coun-
try walk may be almost deafened by u
chorus of bats, while the other may
hear nothing of the noise. Certain it is
that dissection reveals nothing alb
normal in the vocal apparatus of the
singing mouse, and doubtless n very
slight difference in the quality of the
vocal cords would result in mouse
with voice sufficiently bass to bring
the sound within the compass of our
hearing powers.-Golden Days.
