rses of Shnrk Fins

In some countries walking sticks are
manufactured from shark fins. From
the skin of the animal is obtained a
leather suitable for making sword
grips and many fancy articles. Sharks
abound on the coast of Nicaragua, and
Mr.. GottschallS, the United States con-
sui at San Juan del NorteT suggestS
that the fins, backbone and skins might
with advantage be imported into the
United States for industrial purposes.
The killing of sharks is encouraged by
the Nicaraguan fishery laws, and there
appears to be no export duty on any
industrial product derived from them.

"Be Good to YourseIf..

"Be good to yourself" is phrase
that is often said when friends sepa-
rate. 1t is jocularly spoken, as
though there were some humor in it.
The idea of ones being good to him
self somehow provokes a smile. But
why should it? Surely, if one should
be good to anybody it should be to
himself. When they utter the injunc-
ton many put into it the idea that
one shall have, as they would express
it, as good time" as possible But
if one is really good to himself he
may have to turn his back upon
pleasures. The man whose weakness
y; drinking cannot be good to himself
without giving it up. And so with
relation to anything harmful, being
good to ones self means that he Will
have nothing to do with it, To be
Of the highest good to ones self one
must be inwardly good; and to be
good one must be godly.-Wellsping.

thin, their length being about twice
that of the figure. Shape them neatly
and then smooth them off with sand
paper; indeed, the whole figure should
be smoothed off in that-way.
AS the figure is to be balanced on the
cork of an upright bottle it is necessary
that the wings should be of exactly the
same weight, and that they should be
placed on exactly opposite sides of the
bust. Remember this in making the
Sits in which the wings are to be fitted,
OF course this picture represents a
painted figure and not a plain white
pine one. Most boys have a box of
water colors, and they can be used to
paint the figure. 1t is better to put on
q light coat of varnish after the paint
dries. This will keep it from rubbing
off.
The effect of such figure as it turns
around on its perch is very amusing
and it's oddity makes it attractive

THE HILL OF CELLAR DOOR.
I know a hill not far away

! know hill not far away
Where children always love to play.
The hill is straight and smooth and low;
For little folks tbs better so.
The coasting there is very nice,
Without the ES'ii Of snow and ice;
You slide in summer fall or spring,
But need not bother sleds to bring
1t is the safest hill I've found;
Sometimes you tumble to the ground,
But tits not far you have to fall
And would not hurt a child at all.
It's very near your home, and so
Your mother'll always let you go,
For then she knows you're right near by
And she can hear you If you cry.
So up you scramble, down you slide,
And oh, you have a jolly ride!
You always want to play some more
Upon the hill of Cellar Door!

BOY Napoleon of Trade.

\ few months ago Willie PiesbeclS,
of Dutch Kills, L. L., won one
armed monkey at rattle. After few
days he traded the prize for an old
bicycle, which he fixed up and rode.
Soon tiring of the wheel, he traded it
for a worn-out white horse and hired
the animal out until he had saved
enough from the returns to buy
small wagon. Thus equipped, he
started in the wood business He now
owns two good horses. two good
wagons, and fairly good looking
carriage, as well as pretty pros
porous business. In fact, he is the
only rival the wood trust has in
Dutch Kills. and is more than holding
his own with this corporation. Willie
is only 16 years old. He evidently
possesses the genius whicf made
Napoleon great.
