with wire supports, twisted around
them Just under the raised rim and
ending in two little rings, which can
be slipped over two little hooks which
you have made at the lotion of each
eggshell holder.
The rest Of the apparatus consists
Of two forks stuck into a cork, which
Is balanced on a needs fastened in the
cork Of a rather heavy bottle.
To make the engine go the hrst
thing Is to AL the boilers, or egg
shells.
This is easily done by warming
them and plunging them into cold wa
ter. The contraction Of the heated
air in the shells will give room for the
entrance of sufficient water II the
shells have been heated to the right
point.
The shells should be about half full
Of water. Then fasten the shells to
the handles Of the forks, put a little
alcohol In the thimbles and hook
them on.
If the apparatus does not balance. a
few shot dropped In one Of the
thimbles will make IT do So
Now light each Of the little alcohol
furnaces and await results.
Soon the water in the shells will be-
gin TO boil, a jet of steam will issue
from each Of the holes and the engine
will begin 10 revolve. very slowly at
first, but ft lively rate when "steam
is up"
OF course, the shells should be
fastened TO the forks so that the holes
point in opposite directions. II should
be added that though this engine is
not likely to blow up" or TO do any
damage II 1t does blow up, alcohol and
matches are dangerous playthings
and should not be put in the hands Of
careless or very young persons

MINISTER wU'S SON.
Chinese Youngster of High Degree
Who Is Liked by the Boys and
Girls OF Washington.

WI Chaochu, son of Wa ling Fang.
the Chinese minister to this country,
Is a delightful combination of man
and child, and is really a remarkable
boy. But, after AL, boys will be
boys whether they are born amid
the superstitions and restraints OF tho
Chinese empire or under the liberal
protection Of the stars and stripes.
and Chaochu is in many ways the
everyday boy, though in some re-
spects he differs sufficiently to make
him interesting.
When Minister WI came 10 America
with his Iamily three years ago and
made his home in Washington. he
placed his son, then IL years of age,
in public school there.
Chaochu's success at school is some
thing he may well be proud of. At
first he was handicapped by strange
language and customs and surround
ed by unfamiliar things and people,
but he finally succeeded in overcom-
ing these difficulties, and by unusual
energy and application condensed a
four years course into three, so that
he was able 10 enter the western high
school upon ats opening in Septem-
Der. Chaochu has in high degree
that get there" quality erroneously
supposed 10 belong exclusively to the
American boy. He is blessed, too,
with keen sense of humor and an in
feeiious laugh that is good to hear.
He is Of sturdy build pAd his face is
by bright, winning ex-
preston and strong. white teetn Ex-
oept for American shoes ne wears the
native costume. He is an athlete Of
no mean accomplishments just now
he is giving good deal Of time to
running his fathers automobile Dur
ing the last summer he spent several
weeks at Cape May with his mother,
and while there learned 10 swim. He
rides back and forth 10 school on his
wheel, jokes. leases, shouts. runs and
plays games with the boys in the
of the Chinese legation.

Removable Teeth for Baby,

Some years ago .ady was visiting
niece with whose three-year-old son
she had become great friends. He
would come frequently to her room.
One day at luncheon when the little
boy was at dinner a visitor asked how
the baby was. The answer was that
he was well, except for being troubled
with teething. Presently, during a
pause, the little boy said: "Muddie.
why don't you get baby's teeth to
come out like auntie's? Then they
would never ache"

AN EGGSHELL ENGINE.
How 20 Make a Scientific Toy which
Affords Amusement as Well
as Instruction.

A pretty, scientific toy, the con-
struction of which will perhaps afford
as much pleasure as its operation, is
an eggshell steam engine.
Take two eggs, make a small hole
in one end Of each, and II you have a
friend who has the bad taste TO Ike
to suck eggs (of course, you
wouldn't think of doing such a thing
yourself), get him to extract the con-
tents.
Or you may make a second hole in
the opposite end of each egg. blow out
the contents and then close the sec
ond hole with drop of sealing wax
Next you bend a piece of thin wire
around each shell to form holder
Ike a shawl strap.
Two thimbles are also to be fitted

boys, and without blush admits that
he loves American girls, too
There is a strong spirit Of COM

Bees EvIcted by Wasps.

A singular battle was witnessed re-
Gently In an English apiary. A hive
Of bees was besieged by a large swarm
of wasps. The bees made valiant
sorties to try TO drive away the be-
siegers, and the wasps made furious
assaults to drive out the bees The
battle ragged for two days, at the end
of which time the bees evacuated the
hive and the wasps took possession.
They are now the undisputed masters
Of the hive, and are reveling in the
stores of 20 pounos of honey which
the bees had gathered there.

These are sweet words. but how much
pain and suffering they used 10 mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expeciant mothers have
been spared much Of the anguish Of child
birth. Mothers friend is a ln.ment TO be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles Of the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
20 this time do more harm than good. II
