our younger girls and boys Will be
glad to know of a way OF giving "a
grand indoor circus exhibition. All that
is needed for tho ring is the big bare
dinng-room table The animals and per
formers YOU can make yourselves, and
when you have them well trained inW-,
your uncles and your cousins and your
aunts to the show.
The first thing necessary i'm this Blow
Pipe Circus is the blow-pipe. cut from
a sheet OF stin writing paper Il piece a
trife shorter than a lead pencil and wide
enough to wrap around IT two or three
times. Tie it in place with thread. or
better yet. fasten 1t with mucilage. thus
forming, when the pencil IS removed, a
stiff paper tube. AS many of these tubes
can be made as there are girls in the
circus.
Next, the animals and the performers
should be made. Here are two Cf them
o. DO 3d. wOnt eiful animal called the Bub-
berduck, which lives in the deepest jim
giles iOf Africa. and is the only specimen
OF its kind in captivity, and the other is
Little Luther. one of the most wonderful
circus performers in the world. BY birth
ne IS an Egyptian. and he can dance.
jump. turn somersaults. and do many
berduck and Little Arthur with a sharp
pair of scissors Bend down the BuD-
berduck's legs and bend upward the head
and the tail. In the case of Luther. the
piece between the legs should be cut up
on each side and used as a kind of third
leg. the other two legs being bent for
ward.
Place these two members of the circus
through the blow-pipe. They will run
and skip in the liveliest manner Many
other animals can be made by the clever
boy and girl In all sorts Of odd shapes
and f all sizes. And If you have a box
of paints you may streak them with
red. white, and blue and give them fierce
eyes and yawning mouths.
by placing pieces Of card board slant
wise on the table the performers can ne
blown up over them and made 10 turn
all sorts CT wonderful somersaults
Matches for hurdles and string rings
may also be used. Paper or block sta
bles will also add to the effect. A num-
Der of the animals may be hitched to-
gcther in a train. II will also be found
NEST exciting TO have races. Run tie
Bubberduck against Little Luther. and
see which will reach the end OF the Ia
bile first. without tipping over. Somewhat
better success will be had II the per
formers are cut from letter paper. which:
is thicker and firmer than newspaper.
Another animal. the Jubwinkle, which
will be found a great attraction in the
circus, was captured at the bottom cf
the Pacific ocean. 1t bears some resem-
blance to a pussy cat, but you could tell
at a glance .hat it isn't pussy-cat.
When YOU see it you Will know at once
that IL is the Jubwinkle. 1t couldn't be
anything else.
So look out for the Jubwinkle.

In the training of her children Mrs.
Cleveland carefully guarded against the
dangers Of environment. and held them
strictly to the healthy asmos-
phere OF quiet life. away
from such hattery and attentions
as would naturally turn their small heads
but giving them the daily companion
ship Of other children. thus broadening
and developing unselash qualities.
To this end Mrs Cleveland had a little
kindergarten all the winter until IL was
disbanded by the whooping cough, about
a fortnight before they left the White
House.
Eight or ten little children Of her friends
were asked to join her own In a sunny
room of the White House where Miss
Mary Willard sister of Mrs. Cloveland's
school friend, Katherine Willard, now
Mrs. William Baldwin. taught the little
class.

Esther Is the high-spirited member Of

And wnen we tipped so once or twice
l felt all turning inside out
Ia rather be our nurscmaid. Ann,
Who has TO hear the baby bawl,
Than be wretched saiIor-man.
And have no inside left at all,
