which children 30 much prefer. They
must also possess full knowledge of
the military costumes of the period to
which the soldier they represent be-
longs. This year the Turkish and
Greek soldiers are the leading favor
ties.
AT Nuremberg and Furth slate
molds are used for the plain figures,
while brass molds are employed for

former is bought at Sonneberg, III
Thuringia, and the tin, which is pur-
chased in England, is melted and
poured into them through small

"The metal soon hardens when ii
has been poured in, and the workman
then removes the figures, cutting off
any excrescences which may have
been caused by the molten metal
running over the interstices.
"The soldiers then have to be
painted, and this is always done by
women, who work at home, and are
given certain number of figures upon

Badly PLAYED.

Mr.. W. II. Preece, the well known
electrician, tells an amusing story
about the early days Of the telephone.
That the Queen might test the new
invention, he put Osborne, Portsmouth
and London in communication, and
arranged that a band should play
while her majesty was at the other end
Of the instrument.
The Queen was detained, says the
Youths Companion, and before she
arrived the band had been sent away.
But a happy thought struck Mr..
Preece. Why not himself act as the
band? He stepped to the instrument
and hummed into ii "God Save the
Queen" and asked il her majesty rec
ognized the tune.
''Yes," she said, ''it was the ma
tional anthem, but very badly played"

In st. Nicholas q. Rafael O'Reilly

that he caught in the woods. The
writer says
While rambling one evening in the

little reddish-brown animal. At
first sight took it to be chipmunk.
Its large black eyes seemed full of
apprehension, and "a moved il drew
back out of sight.
On rolling over the stump, dis
covered beneath it some withered
grass carefully rolled into globular
nest. Cautiously drawing my hand
kerchief around this, tied il up, with
whatever it contained, and hurried
homeward with my treasure. On
emptying the handkerchief into box
covered with wire gauze, found that
l had captured two beautifully deli
cate and elegant creatures, somewhat
larger than mice. Their fur was thick
and soft, rich velvet of reddish
brown on the back, and snowy white
underneath. Their feet also were
white. But their chief beauty lay in
their eyes-great, black liquid 0rbs
half protruding from the head. No
gazelle ever had eyes half so lovely.
They soon became quite tame, and
without showing any fear would allow
me to put my hand into their cage TO
give them fruits and berries. They
carriedfheir nest into a corner Of the
cage and reconstructed it there.
After about two weeks 1 procured q
large cocoanut, sawed it in two, and
taking one half of it, made in it a little
doorway. When put this into their
cage, turned mouth down, they seemed
to go wild with the excitement of de-
light In and out they ran through
the little doorway hundred times in
succession. Sometimes they would
Jump up on top of the cocoanut and
survey it all over, and then, after

again run inside. Soon they made I'D
heir minds to take possession Of it as
heir home. Their nest in the corner
hey pulled to pieces, and carried it
)f mouthful by mouthful into the
little cocoanut hut. There they have
lived ever since.
During the daytime they sleep, but |

themselves running and jumping
'bout the cage, and they have never

cloth as soon as il loses It's heat. II
hot water il not 10 be had at once,
moisten some dry starch with cold
water and cover the bruised part with
il.
When tablecloths are beginning TO
wear out in the folds, cut two or three
inches Of one end and one side and re-
hem them. This process will change
the places Of the folds and will add
new life TO the cloth. Napkins and
towels may be treated in the same
way.
Cold roasted or boiled fowl can DO
made into croquettes, salads aud en-
trees. Tough ends OF steak are good
when made into Hamburg steak. All
fat from meat can be clarified and kept
for frying. Doughnuts aud fritters
are much better fried IN drippings
than in lard.
In the cleaning Of a stove, if a little
soap il used it will tighten the labor.
Wet flannel cloth and rub il over a
piece Of soap, then dip the cloth into
the stove polish and rub over the
stove; finish with dry cloth or brush.
II is said the polish will last much
longer than IL il is used without the
soap.

A south African Snake story.

There is more than one way of
fighting snake. In Natal, South
Africa, where lives the deadly mamba
serpent, a party of fifty or sixty Kaffirs
were building road In the course
Of their work they came to huge
stone, under which dwelt large tiack
mamba, well known to the neighbor-
ing inhabitants as being very fierce
and venomous. The superintendent
anticipated trouble with the rock and
80 he offered reward to the Kafiir
that would bring him the snak e's skin.
For time none of them dared make
the attack, but slim youth finally
sauntered forward, and amid the ieers
and protestations of the rest declared
himself equal to the task. He took
from his neck what looked like bit
of shriyeled stick, chewed it, swallowed
some of it, spat out the rest on his
hands, and proceeded to rub his
glistening brown body and limbs all
over. Then, taking up stick, and
chanting a song Of defiance, he adj
vanced with great confidence and
swagger TO the boulder. There he
reused up the mamba, who in great
fury at being disturbed, bit him in the
lip with great venom. The boy took
no notice of the bite, but broke the
snakes back with his stick and bring
ing him to his master, asked for the
reward, obtaining which, he went back
to his work, and the bite of the reptile
had no effect on him whatever.
No bride, not even that of o COW
DIETER than any gold in the eyes of a
Kaffir), would induce this native to
disclose the secret Of his antidote,
which, he said, bad been handed down
in his family for generations. The
snake was a very long one, and so old |
that it had a name. II is a we'll |
known fact that certain Of the Zolas
have antidotes for the more deadly |
snake poisons, which they preserve |
as secret within their own families.

We Live ON u Narrow Margin.

A very small change in the present
ately kill every human being upon its
surface. An eastern writer COM
ments on the fact that we live on II
very narrow margin. A little more
heat or little more cold, and we die.
Our existence depends on keeping
changes of temperature within range
of about per cent. of what we know
as possible extremes. If the moon
were very much larger the tidal wave
would carry the entire ocean twice q
day over the surface of the earth. If
the earth were much smaller we would
lose our atmosphere. II il were much
larger We could not stand upright
more than five minutes, nor would we
be able to mount hill except by
painful crawling. If the year were
twice as long as it is it is doubtful
il we could raise food enough in the
summer TO carry us through the
winter or il we could survive the
accumulated cold. In every way our
earth lies just at the meeting point of
two kinds OF death, which ION this
bank and shoal of time" we must fRhf
with either hand II makes no differ
ence whether we have fitted ourselves
to the earth through long series of
evolution or whether il was fitted to
us, as far as we know il is the only
inhabitable spot in the universe, and
the chances are almost infinite that no
other is so favorably located. Let us
make the most we can of it.
