q few hints intelligent boys may follow up
the work as a pastime, construct scientific
kites and experiment with models made
after their own ideas. II properly made
cellular kites may be flown without any

while a few OF the stores are now Offering
box kites they are crude affairs. and quite
expensive.
The models shown in the accompanying
Illustration are samples of those now being
successfully experimental with. which may
be worked after in making models for
amusing experiments. They are all from
Ave to seven feet in length. but in making
the first homemade kite one three feet
long would be a good size. For this size
a few strips Of spruce wood cut one-quarter
Of an inch square. two to four yards of
Londsdale cambric and a few pieces Of tin,
comprise the working materials. To con-
struct any of the kites shown. first cut the
strips Of wood for the framework. In No.
3, for instance there are six three-foot
strips. four two-foot strips and eight one
foot pieces in the frame. These pieces may
be fastened together for the kite frame by
the use Of pieces OF tin cut out as
outlined in No. 4. Where three ends are
to pc fastened together bend the tin. as
shown in No. 8. so that the points (a) clasp
around each Of the strips firmly. Where
four ends are to be fastened together cut
out a similar tin with four ends and bend
around the frame, as shown in No. 6. This
principle is employed in the scientific kites
Of today, so that they may be taken apart
and folded together. or broken parts re-
newed, Waxed gllling Irvine is also bound
around the completed joints to strengthen
them.
The Lonsdale cambric can be bought at S
cents or 10 cents a yard. Two yards will
cover the frame Of No. 8. Cut it twelve
inches in width, stretch 1t around the Frame

the picture. A very strong flying wine for
this size kite is No. IL giliins twine.
The other models are not as simple as No.
8, but the dimensions are indicated and they
are put together In the same manner as the
one described. II will be noticed that the
loop or bride to which the kite line is
attached is secured differently to some OF
the frames. When the kite is flown, II 1t
does not catch the wind well, the loop is
adjusted a little toward the center Of the
kite.

The "POi" Cocktails.

Every visitor to Hawaii is expected to
become acquainted with pol" the Kanaka's
staff Of life. says Leslie's Weekly. The
taste for this national dish Is undoubtedly
acquired, and even after many trials often
fails to come at all. This thick. paste-like
mixture is made from the taro-plant Colo
casia antiquorum). from which originates
the "oyster" cocktail. and those desiring It
merely for the name are sadly disappointed
on finding that the only liquid 1t contains Is
milk.
The pol" cocktail is prepared by dihlting
the paste with milk, then adding sugar or
salt, and serving ice-cold. This drink Is
found very beneficial to dyspeptics and those
recovering from fever.

The sympathy and help Of Baby" kept
the surgeon from giving in to the fever, but
one day when his temperature was about

poor wretches about him, he seemed to lose

air which brought him out Of his stupor.
Soon the surgeons returning strength en-
abled him to put his arm around the neck
Of the horse and to hang on until gently

Attorney General"
Later Proclnmations

The proclamation of General Washington
appointing Thursday. November 26. 1889, as
a day Of thanksgiving was the first national
thanksgiving day after the government OF
the United States was fairly established.
The second recommendation by the president
of the United States was for February 10,
1895. Under John Adams May o. 1898, and
April %, 1893. were observed as fast days,
but not as days Of thanksgiving. 1t was not
until 1915 that another national thanksgiv-
ing day was appointed by President Madison.
Tho day fixed was April 13, 1915. There is
no record Of other days so observed
nationally for the next quarter Of a century.
Since 1917, however, New York state had
observed the day and one by one the other
states came to follow a similar course.
President Lincoln appointed a thanksgiv-
ing for August 6, 1863. because of the
victory at Gettysburg. On November &c OF
the same year another thanksgiving was
observed and this was really the harvest
festival throughout the country. In like
manner was November "a observed in 1864.
Owing to the assassination Of Lincoln June
/. 1865. was observed as a fast day. From
that year on Thanksgiving day has become
a regularly observed one by the nation.
During the century which had passed since
the revolution the harvest feature OF the day
had become dominant. Since Lincoln's death
1t has been customary for the president 10
issue a proclamation annually, appointing
a national thanksgiving day, the last Thurs
day Of November, and the states have Issued
their own proclamations naming the same
day.
