Take the freshest of earth and the clean

A little more water if it seems too thick.

Summer DOllhOuses.

summer days are ideal ones for doll
houses. Set in cool spot under the
trees. on days too warm to admit of
active play. they make the happlest
of all occupations for little girls. The
Mothers Journal tells how to make
the priettiest kind of play-houses out
Of boxes. The boxes are open in
front. of course. Tall boxes have
shelf half way up. dividing them into
first and second stories, and then there
are partitions through the center
making two rooms on each floor. A
stairway leads from the first floor to
the second; the walls are papered. the
floors stained. rugs laid, and shades
and lace curtains placed at the win
dows. The bedrooms have the neat
est and whitest of beds, dressing ia
bles, bureaus and washstands, with
cretonne and muslin bureau scarfs, pin
cushion and toilet articles all COM
plete. In the parlor are piano, center
table. chairs and sofa and n complete
set of cooking utensils hangs over the
kitchen stove. There are pictures on
all the walls.
Such n dollhouse costs a good deal in
time and labor, but little in money.
A common goods box serves rs the
foundation. and papa or big brother
who is handy with tools can put in
stairs, shelves and partitions without
trouble, and until she has started on
it the mother or big sister will not
know how the fascination of copying a
house in miniature grows on one.
a dolls schoolhouse, with desks and
blackboards. Is among endless vara
tons that can be planned. Countless
original features will suggest them
selves to an original mind. Almost
every piece of furniture to be found
in a grown up house can he purchased
in doll miniature for Il few cents, and,
now that SO many big brothers do
bench work and learn to operate cir
cular saws in manual training classes,
they can depressed into the doll cabinet
business. Another way TO make small
girls happy for the summer is to let
them set up housekeeping in piano
box, with furniture half way between
grown up belongings and doll things.
There is an neXhaustible interest to
the juvenile mind both masculine and
feminine. but particularly the latter, in

children can introduce upon this theme
are legion.

feature in connection with the sinking

rods were left in the hole for twenty
months while hostilities were going
on. The details Of the work when 1t
was renewed are best given In the FOL
lowing quotation from the report OF

On Sunday morning. May &c. at 9.iO n.

took the strain It was moment OF
great anxiety to the onlookers. end we
held our breath In suspense. as 1t was
seen the rods had not moved an inch.
The next moment, however. to our
great relief and delight. they gradually
and evenly slipped outward. and so
continued to lift. without n hitch
throughout the day. SO that at knock

Mans Chance In Life.

One Of the biggest life insurance COM
panies recently figured out the chances
of living. and naturally went into the
spirit Of the thing on lines the reverse
Of the sentimental. The experts SIM
ply took 100000 human beings and
figured out percentage. just as II the
100000 humans were chalk on black
board.
Acting on the understanding that the
100000 are considered Mt the age OF
ten years. each will have 4S.7 more
years to live. or course some will die
before collecting their life Inheritance.
but the 4S.7 represents the average.
AS a matter OF carefully ascertained
fact there will be 740 deaths among
the 100000 before the eleventh year Is
reached. This leaves 09.251 survivors.
with n chance OF 4S.1 more years In
the land Of the living. But I46 Of these
will die before becoming twelve-year-
olds.
