A sheet OF thin cardboard and some
baby ribbon are the mate used
From the cardboard cut out triangular
piece with all it's sides of the same length.
Cutting this triangle is the only difficult
part of the whole matter. Any one who
has ever learned how to construct an
equilateIal triangle on geometrical prin-
ciples will have no trouble with it. The
following explanation is given for the
benefit Of those who have not:
First draw a line, "A b, at the bottom
of the sheet of cardboard This line
should be the length of one side of the
triangle, and it depends uron how large
one wants the box how long the line
should be. Twelve inches is good
length, as this makes box six inches
wide across the bottom. In order to
get the other sides the same length,
tie a string about fifteen inches long
around your lead pencil. Put the point
of the pencil on and stretch the string
tight until it reaches A. Hold the string
down on 4 and swing the pencil up towards
the left, describing the arc of a circle.
Then lift UP the string fl ON point A and,
keeping the same place on the string, hold
it down on B. with the pencil point at A.
Swing the pencil up toward the right, de-
scribing another arc. To the point C,
where these arcs cross, draw lines from
A and B, and you have your equilateral
triangle of twelve inches ON a side and
all that is necessary is to cut it cut After
once trying this it Will be found the simplest
thing in the world.
Connect the center points OF these sides
with lines, forming triangle ID, E, F.
This makes the bottom OF the box For
box two inches deep, draw the lines that
are marked l., NJ, two inches apart from
the sides of the triangle, ID, E, F. This
marks the line where the cardboard must
be bent to form the top OF the box. When
the top is bent over it will be found that the
box hats three covers, and as this is too
bulky it is better to cut one off along the
line X, Y, as indicated in the ilIustra-
ton. 1t should not be cut exactly on a
line with the top OF the box, but q margin
should lie left to fold it in, SO as to pre-
vent the crurnbsof candy from leaking out.

Though the custom of exchanging Eas-
ter gifts has not become by any means uni
versal, it is very common to send remem-
brances in the shape OF flowers or bonbons
to one s friends For those whose resources
are limited 1t is not too soon to begin prepa-
rations for the occasion.
Most women know how to make some
kinds OF candy Even molasses taffy oil
chocolate caramels are acceptable to the
smaller members OF ones family, and il
nicely put up in a pretty box the gift is
very attractive.
An easy way to make a candy box out
OF ca rdboard or heavy water color paper
is shown in the accompanying illust ra-
ton. 1t looks like a proposition in ge0In-
etry, and the fact is that the better one
understands a few simple geometrical
principles the easier il Is to make this
box However, it is not necessary to know
anything about mathematics to be able
to construct it.

THE ARMIES ON
THE CHICKAHOMINY

One of the valuable services underta ken
by the war records office at Washington
is that of furnishing statements Of the
exact or approximate strength OF the
opposing forces in the campaigns and
battles of the civil war.
This work is now going on, and an in
teresting lnstaHment OF II comes to us re-
Iating to the armies of Mcclellan and Lee
at the opening of the famous series OF
battles which began with Fair Oaks and
ended with Malvern Hill.

IL will be seen that out OF thirty-eight
Confederate brigades there are official fig
ures for all but eight. These eight were the
brigades OF Hood, Laws, winder, Cunning
ham, Fulkerson, Taylor, Anderson and
Featherston: but as from three oct OF
four divisions to which they belonged
there are official statistics for other brig
AIDES, the estimate for them seems to be
reasonable.
It will be recalled that Gen Mcclellan
greatly overestimated the Confederate
force, and supposed at the time and for
years afterward that he had been heavily
outnumbered on the Peninsula. On tina
other hand. some Confederate officers
may be surprised to learn how nearly
equal in numbers the armies really were.

The comedy success, "Girl Wanted"
with that versatile actor, Frank Bush,
will be the attraction at the Academy of
Music next week. For the present road
tour Managers Thomas II. Davis and VIII.
liam T. Keogh have given the comedy an
elaborate production. Everything is new
and of an exhilarating character. A not
able gathering of comedians, dancers and
lyric artists furnish adequate support to
the star, The grace, beauty and chic of
the performance is furnished by a bevy
of attractive young girls. In fact, the
three acts of 'sGirl Wanted" fairly blaze
with vocal and terpsichorean novelties and
unique specialties. The play itself holds
the record of containing more laughs than
all other farce comedies combined. Promi-
nent in the company supporting Mr.. Bush
are Harry and John Dillon. w. A. Mason,
Shorty Hcaly, Edward Chrissie, Joe Hay
den, Edna Barclay and other well-known
farceurs.
