HOW. TO MAKE A KITE.
By Following the Directions Here
Given Any Bright Boy Can Put
Together q Flyer.

Kite-fying is one of the best out
door amusements that boy could
have; indeed, we know a good many
men that enjoy it as much as they
did when they were young: The
writer of this paragraph is one of
them. There is a fascination about
it that is not easily described. City
boys have little chance to indulge in
the sport, except when they go to
the country or the seashore during
vacation, but those who live in the
suburbs, or in places where they
may conveniently reach the open
fields, ought all to have their kites.
Fancy designs of all kinds are sold
in the shops, but if boy wishes to
have all the fun that there is in the
sport, he ought to make his own
kite. Besides, it will give him bet
ter service.
The accompanying cut shows how
a good flyer can be made. Out OF
some straightforward, light wood
cedar preferred-make four sticks,
about one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness. Let two of them be % inches
in length, one 17a inches, and the
other 1874 inches. Place them as
shown in the picture, and tack them
firmly where they cross. Cut little
notches at the ends of the stocks,

BEARS WERE USEFUL.
They Acted as WatchdOgs and Bear
ers Of Burdens Not Very Many
Centuries Ago.

Three or four hundred years ago it
was common thing among the inhab b.
itants of Scandinavia and Denmark to
catch and train young bears. Some
times they were kept for pets, but
were very often used as beasts of bur-
den. 1t was not strange to see bruin
walking like a man, with large bun
die strapped to his shoulders. He was
also trained to work water wheels and
to draw water from the wells. But a
more curious use yet to which he was
put was that of a watchdog. Nearly all
the houses and castles of wealthy fami-
lies were guarded by trained bears, and
many a wild animal and robber was
driven away by the faithful bear, who
was safer guard than many dogs.
The sun bear of Asia is very easily
tanned. A story is told of one owned
by an English nobleman which was the
pet of his children. It had been trained
to sit at the table, and liked cham
payne better than any other form of
meat and drink.

and. put a string around the whole
frame, making it taut and tying it
SO that it will not slip.
Now cut out piece of very thin
manila paper-tissue paper would
do, but thin manila is more serv-
iceable-one inch larger, all around,
than the frame, and paste the edge
over the string. Make small hole
in the end of the stocks at A, B, c,
d, E and F, and put in a string
loosely from A to F, from to E,
and from C to D. Make string loop
from E to F, to which the tail of the
kite is to be attached. The string
must come through the paper side
of the kite, not the stick side.
The cord by which you are to fly
the kite should be attached where
the strings cross each other; do
this with loose knot inclosing all
the strings. For the tail use a strip
of muslin about one inch in width
and Is feet in length and attach ten
hobs made of paper rolled up. II
the kite should dive, add more tail
until it sails steadily.
Use fine but strong cord for the
flying, and don't attempt it in a high
wind. Kites always fly better in a
moderate wind.-Cincinnati En-.
quirer.

USEFUL TOOL FOR ARTISTS.

tically over a drawing are five small
rings on which the fingers rest. It can
readily be seen that, thanks to these
rings. one can with one hand hold the
rule in the desired position, no matter
what kind of curve it may be, and with
the other hand guide the pencil or pen
along the rule for the purpose of trac-
ing the curve.
The second form of the instrument
is somewhat analogous, but little
more complicated. A strip of flexible
steel is here substituted for the cenu-
loid and attached to it by lateral rings
are small fat strips, which form a
chain when joined together.
When these small strips are thus
connected the flexible steel strip as
sumes the form of a curve. Moreover,
the small strips are connected togeth'
er in such a manner that the steel strip
will keep as long as desired the form
of any curve which it has been made to
assume.
In the third form of the instrument
wood is generally used instead OF cellu-
loid or steel, because this type OF in
strument is larger and there is not so
much need of fexibility. Connected
with this wooden strip are square me-
tallic pins, which rest loosely in metal
lie sockets and which can be moved in
the direction of any curve which it is
desired that the wooden strip shall as
sumo. Absolutely perfect work, it is
claimed, can be done with these simple
vet ingenious instruments.-N.Y. Her.

Grand Trunk Secures Space Q,
SpOrtamen'n show.

The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
completed arrangements for an extensive
exhibition in connection with the second
annual Sportsmen's Show to be held in Chi
cago from February until February q.
The Show is being held in the Coliseum, q
large building admirably suited for the pur-
pose. The exposition will probably be the
finest that has ever taken place in America,
excelling even that held in Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection OF large
photographs Of scenes throughout the sum
mer resort districts situated on it's line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays,
Magnetawan River, 10000 Islands of the
Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
Simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1000 square feet, and
will be one of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands of dollars
in bringing before the people of the United
States and foreign countries thu, beauties OF
the Canadian districts. In the districts EN-.
braced in what is known as ''the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 10000 tourists were car
ried during the summer months, the ma.
jority of whom were from the United States.
These districts have become SO popular that
each year finds the hotel accommodation in
creasing and modern and up-to-date struc-
lures are being erected to accommodate the
ever increasing travel that is being brought
into Canada

DOLL WITH A HISTORY.
BROUGHT to Philadelphia by WilliaD
Tenn Two Centuries Ago, ana
Still In Court Dress.

I'm 1899, when William Penn sailed
from England in the good ship Can
terbury' for his second visit to his
American colony" writes Mary Town
send Kirk, IN the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, ''he brought with him an Eng
fish doll, of which, so far, scant no
tice has been taken, although it ia
believed to be to-day the sole surviv-
ing representative of that voyage
across the Atlantic. This doll, select
ed by William PENIS daughter Lett
tia, was sent by her to little Miss
Rankin, of Philadelphia, and, after
200 eventful years, still retains, in q
marked degree, much of the bright
ness and beauty of those early days
when she was the pet of one little
Quakeress after another. Her dress.

Cat Trained Like a Dog.

1t is difficult matter to teach q
cat to follow like dog, but clerk
in the state department at Washing
ton has a cat with this accomplish
ment. He has owned it for seven or
eight years. It will follow him about
the streets for miles just like dog,
and is excessively fond of going out
for walk, provided its master Sc
lects evenings for his meanderings.
In daylight it prefers not to go on
these rambles, evidently because it
does not like to come in contact with
small boys and dogs, who are then
too numerous on the streets of Wash
ington. The observation that cats
are more attached to places than to
persons does not hold good in the
case of this feline. Once, when its
owner changed his residence, he pur-
posely left the cat with friends who
occupied the house he had vacated,
but the cat was not satisfied until it
had found where the new house was
and had taken up it's abode there,
with evident delight at finding its old
friend and protector.

ing fashions, is the court dress Of
that period, and is made of striped
and delicately tinted brocade and vel
vet; the skirt is very full and is dis
tended over an enormous hoop. She
is 20 inches in height, and her figure
is long-waisted and slender, as are
the pictures of court beauties in
those days. The full basque spread
ing out from the belt over the skirt
enhances the slender effect. The hair
is rolled away from the face much in
the fashion of to-day. She now lives
in Montgomery county, Nd, in the
retirement her great age demands,
only being removed from her careful
wrappings when strangers, whom
her quiet fame has reached, come to
make close acquaintance with this,
the Oldest doll in America"
