Once upon a time there lived king, ana
he had three sons. Their names were James,
John and Richard. When the princes were
old enough and ready to go out INTO

king summoned them before him.

James, the eldest prince, stepped forward.
"TelI him l want riches-gold. Give me
wealth, and shall go forth and conquer the
universe"
"You shall have your WISH" Then he
turned to his second son. John, what do
you want?"
"Give me power" said John. 81 want to

Here is a chance for all the girl readers Of
Our Young Folks page-and l am sure there
must be a great number of them-to make
branches of beautiful artificial flowers, and
all so simply and of such commonplace ma.
terals that you will wonder why the idea
was not thought of years aud years ago.
Now the blossoms that you see in the pic
ture are made of nothing but egg shells,
Think of it, just pieces of egg shells taken
haphazard from the breakfast table and
fastened to a dried twig with sealing wax!
This is something that you all can do, and
easily Mind you, the scraps of egg shell
must not be cut loose or broken into shape;
indeed, If you attempt to fashion the petals
in this manner you won't meet with any sue
cess at all.
When you are ready to go to work first
procure a small, delicate twig-it makes no
difference whether 1t Is a green or a dried
one, although care should be taken to have
it graceful in form-and fasten it in firm
position on your table, near heap of broken
egg shells. Then beside these place a lighted
candle and large piece of sealing wax. All
you have to do now is to melt one end of
your sealing wax in the candle flame, then
drop some Of it on to the twig, and before
it hardens thrust three or four pieces of egg
shell into It, so that these will look like the
petals Of a lovely white blossom. If you pre-
fer you may, after dropping the sealing wax
on the twig allow 1t to harden, and then
heat the sharp points of four pieces of egg
shell, and slowly push these into the sealing
wax. Be sure to hold them in position until
the wax hardens again or they will droop of
their own weight. Now this is practically
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1902-04-13

all there is to the making Of these egg-shell
blossoms. The rest of it, such as the arrang-
ing and grouping of the flowers, is simply a
matter Of taste.
Do not think for a moment this work re-
quires an expert or even one having consid-
cradle knowledge of flowers, for 1t does not.
Every man, woman, boy and girl wishing to
make these beautiful blossoms may do so
without any difficulty whatever.
If your scraps of egg shell be quite large
your blossoms will resemble those Of the
beautiful dogwood, while If fairly small
their resemblance to apple blossoms will be
very striking. In fact, at distance of few
feet from the spectator these flowers look so
much like real ones that again and again
have seen people mistake them for such.
All try, then, and see what you can do, and
the results will both surprise and delight
you.

dreams, but he was the unhappiest man In
the kingdom. He married, but his young
wife left him because of his arch cruelty.
His only son grew up a spendthrift, and
after James had died-in misery and alone
squandered the wealth his father had gar
nered after many years of effort.
The second son, John, went forth into the
arena and became mighty despot. Nations
trembled at his nod.
His power was unquestioned, but he was
unloved, and one day his courtiers formed a
plot and assassinated him.
AS for Richard, he wandered blithely into
the world. Everybody who went near him
became his friend. He was neither rich nor
powerful, but everybody In the kingdom
loved him. One day his father, the old king,
sent for him.
Richard" said he, you chose wisely.
Wealth Is wonderful and accompllshes much,
power is great and earns a great reward,
but the gentle art of making friends brings
happiness.
And Richard married beautiful princess
and they lived happily ever after.

The captains may be appointed and choose
their sides, much as they are chosen for

forces behind him on one side of the room,
and his opponent does the same thing on the
other. A letter is chosen, say A. and each
gardener In turn must say the name of some
thing beginning with that letter until one
or the other falls. The players on euch side

whispers only. II anyone speaks aloud he

quarter of an inch wide and an inch and

wide. These holes should be carefully cut.
Bore one-inch hole through the stock at
right angles to the large hole and exactly
in the middle of it. This is for the purpose
of running shaft through and which is to
act as windlass or reel.
This shaft should be about two inches long

you pass 1t through and string 1t with the
stoutest string you can find.
To bend the bow attach the hook on the
end of the string, which passes around the
windlass, and by turning the handle you
draw the bow string down to the notch you
have cut for this purpose.

Over my sink are two bottles and a
nail cleaner. One bottle contains five
parts of lemon juice to one of alcohol,
which will keep indefinitely. The other
contains the following lotion: One
fourth Of an ounce of gum tragacanth
added to one pint Of rain water which
has stood three days, then one ounce
each of alcohol, glycerine and witch
hazel, also little good faint perfume.
After washing dishes or preparing veg
etables, I apply a little Of the lemon
Juice, then the lotion, and in moment
my hands are dry, soft and very
smooth. All stains disappear as if by
magic and the nails are cleaned easily.
The time required is not over two
minutes. This process repeated five
or six times daily will certainly repay
housekeepers, for what is there more
indicative of refinement than well kept
hands? Then, too, the expense Of these
lotions is comparatively nothing. Be
sure to have them in a handy place.

In several parts Of the world a res
inous substance, called ozocerite, and
bearing considerable resemblance to
beeswax, is found, usually in connec-
ton with rock salt and coal. There
are deposits in Austria, Russia, Rou-
mania, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and
Mexico, but, says the Brooklyn Citizen,
ozocerite has, so far, not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except in the dis
trict of Roryslav, in Austrian Galicia,
and on an island on the west coast Of
the Caspian Sea- In mining this min
eral wax shafts are sunk until bed
or "nest" of ozocerite Is struck. Then
connecting galleries are driven. There
is considerable danger, and many lives
have been lost in consequence Of the
sudden forcing up Of the soft wax into
the shafts by the enormous pressure
to which it is subjected. 1t is used
largely for manufacturing ceresin,
which is employed, together with bees
wax, for making wax candles, as well
as in the manufacture Of phonograph
cylinders, and for many similar pur-

Shoes have changed tremendously
this year as regards style. The heels
are SO much higher, there is so much
more curve under the instep, and the
toes are SO much more pointed. The
low heels and broad soles on the COM
nonsense plan will never go out of
style for people who want to walk and
who are more or less conservative.
There is always the danger that this
style Of footwear will become too pro-
0ounced and eccentric, but there is a
happy medium to be found; the fiat,
broad sole has been rather overdone
for the last few years. Almost all
American women have high insteps,

Home For Friendless Dogs.

Washington has home for friend
less dogs. The dog farm is on the side
of a fine hill, near the reservoir, and
there is plenty of ground for the friend
less animals to run around in, as we'll
as comfortable buildings to shelter
them when the weather is bad. Admis-
sion is easily gained. All any well be-
haved dog has to do to get in is to
run away from home, and wag his
tail when the policeman asks him if he
has an owner. But such a dog goes in
the free portion of the farm. For the
dogs whose owners can afford to pay
their board there is large field sep
arated from the free farm by a close
wire fence. At night each dog boarder
has compartment all to himself. His
meals are more elaborate and better
cooked than are those of the charity
guests. Every month or so the ladies
who are interested in this charity give
dog party. The grounds are illum-
mated with Chinese lanterns and the
visitors are told to be there at feeding
time. The society people think 1t great
fun to watch the charity c,lrs fight
for bones. At the last party over 500
persons were present.
