on.
Now bore a hole through the strips
where they intersect. at both ends, so
that these two holes may be a con-
tinuation of the hole through the
spool.
Your next step is. to cut six strips
from the cigar box, and having made
them the right length. tack them
across from the strips on one end of
the spool to the strips on the other
end, like the paddles of real water
wheel. Use small brads in all the
lacking.
Now take a piece of soft wood,
about six inches in length. and with
your knife trim part of it down TO the
right size to slip easily into the hole
through the spool. and let this part
be long enough to extend half an inch
out of the other end Put a brad
through it there to keep the spool
from coming of
The untrimmed part of the stick
will serve as a handle for you to hold
the wheel by, and as it is larger than
the trimmed part, of course the spool
cannot get off that end.

Assumed charaeterlstIes

In this game some well-known nov
elist is selected, Dickens. for instance,
and each player chooses one of his
characters to personate, telling no one
the choice.
Then one of the players relates the
life as though it were her own, and
portrays with voice and gesture the
character she has assumed. OF course
no names must be mentioned.
The person who first guesses what
character is personated has the privi-
lege OF deciding who shall be the next
to tell her story.
The game of assumed characters
will prove to be very entertaining II
each player does her part and makes
her narrative as amusing and interest

The gentle, graceful little jumping

meadow-rats and fying-squirrels are to
be found in almost any rural place in
this country. These interesting little
creatures can be captured with ordi-
nary box-traps. figure fours or the

white-footed mice. or deer mice, may
be found in the abandoned nests of
other rodents, in holes in the fence
rails, and under clOds of old plowed
fields, or beneath brush heaps in the
fence corners.
Sometimes birds nests are found
with a neatly matched roof over the
bowl, and a round doorway of access
to the interior. where, snugly curled
up in a warm bed of down, the little
whia%footed mouse is sleeping.
You may capture these little fellows

preaching their habitation, and shield

Who has the strength and will to press
Ahead, well knowing that the high.

Who, hearing them. builds on or sings.
Men laughed at Alexander ere
The world had come beneath his sway;
They laughed at Byron, who could dare
To still keep on his chosen way.

Has laughed to see the anxious try.

And brave, have made the laughter

common sight and is almost always due to
pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after with disease
that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. II
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
attack. the only difference being in the
length of time that it should take to effect
a cure.
