was used for a seat. To navigate this

bethought him of using two slaves.

h Hen.

Two hens sitting near each other
Matched about the same time. One had
a fine brood of chickens; the other
was very unfortunate. The few that
were Matched all died in a few days.
After the last one was dead she con-
tinued to cluck and would follow the
other hen around. Selecting one little
chick of the brood, she laid her plans
to kidnap it. While the mother was
busy providing for her large family
the childless hen would go close to the
little chick that she so much coveted,
snatch for it and talk lovingly to it
until she finally persuaded it to ac-
cert her as its mother. 1t took several
days to accomplish her purpose. but
she was patient and persevering and
seemed perfectly satisfied at last with
the one chicken.

4 simple ana Amusing roy.

Here is Il little toy which Is easily
made and which will afford lots Of
amusement to old and young. 1t is
made with two wooden balls. such as
are fastened to elastic cords for chill
dren to play with.
In each ball. with the aid Of a gim-
let. insert a brass screw eye and
through these eyes string a long and
strong rubber band. Now, holding one
ball still. turn the other until you have
twisted the band very tightly; then lay
the balls on the floor and await devel.
opments. They begin a wild dance,

and faster. then slowing up until they
come to rest.
This is the moment when the too

stoops to pick up the balls. AS he does
80 they come to life again and waltz
away from him. They stop again and
after a moments rest renew the waltz.
! which they finish in three or four in
stallments.
The explanation is simple enough.
| When the band has completely un-
| twisted the first time the balls are 60
ing so fast that they cannot stop, SO
they 90 on and twist the band in the
opposite direction until it's resistance
brings them to rest. Then. of course,
the band untwists again. and SO the
dance is repeated several times, with
gradually diminishing liveliness. until
the whole motion is destroyed by fric-
ton.
