SOME NEW WINDMILLS.
They Can he Made OF Playing Cards,
Postal Cards, Feathers and
other Trincs.

Everyone knows how to make the
simple windmill by cutting into the cor
ners of square piece of paper and
bending the ends in, sticking long pin
through the center and the ends on a
piece of wood.
If, now, you want to make n wind
wheel, take circular piece of paper
five inches in diameter, and, using your
compass, draw circle in it one inch
from the outside. Then draw dozen
lines from the center to the inner circle;
cut along these lines with knife or scis-
sors and then bend the ends out, TAX
ing care TO bend each alternate end in
the opposite direction. Then you have
a windwheel which will revolve per-
fectly in the slightest breeze.
Another kind OF windmill can be made
out Of a cork and a few hen feathers.
Bore holes into the cork at equal dis
tances from each other and stick the
feathers into the holes. Then bore the

Rider soon saw dark figure drawing
near them. and when il was but few
rods away a mans voice shouted:
Hello. there!"
"ITello!" responded Bowers, stepping
from the tent.
The stranger came rapidly toward
him. and there was light enough TO re-
veal powerfully-built man of middle
age, who wore a small pack on his
back and carried a serviceable looking
revolver at his belt. His beard was
long and unkempt, but he walked with
long. swinging step, which told of
unimpaired yigor.
When he reached the tent he looked
sharply at the two men. AS his eyes
rested upon Riders companion puz-
zlcd look came into them for an instant,
but he said, heartily:
Hello. mates, which way are you
bound?"
UP this way" replied Bowers, jerk
ing his thumb in the direction from
which the stranger had appeared.
Going up the Yukon way?"
"Not quite"
The man looked bit uneasy, but
Bowers. who had been watching his
face closely, now said:

coffee an bacon, an them Goals is jest

welcome. II yer jest in from a long

Without waiting for a reply he seized
the coffee pot and set 10 work in a way
which showed he was no novice.
The stranger laid aside his pack. and
was soon eating with a relish, which
did justice TO his hosts supposition.
When he could eat no more Bowers
said:
"Got any tobacco?"
Haven't had smoke for month,
was the reply.
That's fought Here's a pipe. Join
us"
His manner was so cordial and frank
that Rider looked at him in wonder.
The stranger eagerly accepted the pipe,
and for a few moments sat in silence,
drawing huge puffs OF the fragrant
weed with an enjoyment which fairly
spoke for itself.
Suddenly Riders companion slapped
his thigh as though he had just
thought of something wonderful, and,
turning to the mate with n look of
warning, exclaimed:
"By thunder, Scott, you don't sup

tence and looked searchingly at the
stranger, then continued:
