How to "LoOk Indinn.v

When you drop small object on the
floor, look Indian" and you're sure
to find it. Here is the mOdus operandi,
according to Pittsburg exchange.
Somebody dropped n stickpin in the
hall the other day and had hard work
to find 1t. She hunted high and low
and on her hands and knees, and with
purpose, but it was no use; the pin
was very tiny and unperceivable. its
value being that Of association rather
than size or brillancy. The somebody,
after n final shake Of the rugs, was
about to give it up forever, when one
of the children chanced to come along.
why don't you look Indian for it?"
he asked. Before the somebody real
lied what was meant, down dropped
the yOungster on the floor, his head
just rs close to the dead level as pos.
sible. In this position his eyes rovcd
rapidly over the floor. 81 have It," he
snouted pre,rutiy. AMI sure enough,
right in the middle Of the floor. in so
plain place that 1t hao escaped no.
tice, was the missing stickpln. The
youngster then explained that look
ing Indian" meant putting the head to
the ground in order to catch sight of
the smallest object between himself
and the horizon. "They do it on the
plains all the time" he said. That's
why they can always tell who's com
ing. But it works in houses Just as
well rs on the plains. Why, we never
lose anything in the nursery now

To Dry Chlldren,s shoes.

When the little ones have finished
their play. they should be taught to
remove their shoes and stockings and
put on dry ones. House shoes Of soft
leather or felt are inexpensive and
comfortable, and they last long time.
besides being a great saving in noise
and the nerve irritation that Is often
harder to bear than the laborious work
with which the housemother has to
struggle.
As soon rs the shoes are taken of
they should be filled to the very tops
with dry oats. 1t is n custom of one
of the most provident women who ever
raised family to prepare stocking
feet of the sizes OF the various shoes
worn by the children. These are num-
bered and hung up on nail IN the en-
tryway. where the little ones keep
their wrappings. These stocking feet
have shsrt tops; in fact, they are
shaped more ike baby's sock than
anything else. They are filed with
oats and sewed up at the top. A
couple of inches of extra room Is al
| lowed Mt the top, and when the shoes
are to he, filed, the oats are shaken
loosely through the stocking; then 1t
is put into the shoe and adjusted as
nearly in the form of the human foot
as possible. A few gentle raps will
settle the oats into the shoe: then a
strong cord Is tied around the stock

bic. The oats being perfectly dry oc-
