A DOLL.

A correspondent of the Practical
Farmer tells how to make a big
brownie doll, sometimes called "Mc-
Ginty," for the year old baby:
To make one, roll up an old cuff,
which must be very stiff, so that it will
be about two inches in diameter. Roll
up pieces Of brown cloth three or four
incees long into two very slim legs, and
sew them to one end. Mark q Jolly
fat face on the other end with ink.
Mark long, slim arms same as legs and
tasten in the proper place. Before you
sew up the top of his head, put inside
his hollow body one of those large
glass marbles, leaving it loose. Now
fasten up the top OF his head and finish
with a cap. Make a brown swallow
tair' coat, cut feet and hands from old
kid gloves or soft leather, tack on and
fasten a little brass toy bell to each
hand. Now he is finished. Take your
ironing board, or any smoothe board at
hand, place n end on q chair, the
other on the floor. Set "McGinty" at
the top of the board and give him a
little push in the middle of the back.
He will turn a series of the funniest
summersaults you ever saw, and when
he strikes the floor will stop with g
jerk as if he were alive. 1t will amuse
the entire family for an entire evening
and the children will never tire Of
him.

"Dawnawnatha wnboutut," replied
the knight of the sounding board,
turning the back of his head to the
questioner.
But it is highly desirable that !

orders still more pleasantly. II can

had better find out for me9 1t will
take you only a minute or two, you

manipulation, probably meaning, Find

the advertisement columns OF q daily
paper, paying no more attention to the
interlocutOr.

"a telegraph blank, please"
The unfinished document was half
thrown az him. He leisurely wrote a
message and handed it to the other,
with the money to pay for it.
The operator commenced reading it,
hitting the words 4 by one with his

looked startled at the writer.
