LARGE coIored Soap Bubbles.

This is the way to make soap bub-

they will roll about over the carpet
for ever so many minutes before they
think of breaking. Into a pint Of
warm water shave a piece Of brown
laundry soap about an inch square,
containing a good proportion of lye.
When this is thoroughly dissolved add
tablespoonful Of gum arabic and stir
till melted. Then a teaspoonful of
glycerine is necessary and lastly a
quart Of cold water. If the bubble
makers are not very little people and
know how to keep the water out of
their mouths, wonderfully colored
bubbles can be made by separating
this mixture into cups and adding a
pinch of different diamond dyes to
each. But for little people strawberry
or currant Juice for pink bubbles, and
orange juice for yellow are perhaps
safer. The I've in the soap, with the
glycerin increases the brilliancy OF
the bubbles, and tina gum gives them
elasticity. Hot water is necessary to

Salt and Alum CRYSTALS,
Solution of Gard Trick,

Into a glass nearly full of water stir
as much salt as will dissolve in it
Resting on the edge Of the glass place
a stick on which you have tied a stout
cord long enough to reach half way
into the solution. Allow this solution
to stand quietly until the water evap-
crates, when you will have salt crys-
tails attached to the cord which you
hung in the glass. These crystals will
be cubical in shape and dull white
color.
Prettier crystals than these may be
made by using alum instead of salt in
your solution and allowing it to stand
as you did the salt.
This experiment will not be so sue.
cessful in damp weather.
While you are working with alum
make D solution the same as you did
for crystals, only boiling It in a sauce
pan. Pick u bunch of long grasses or a
flower of the hydrangea and dip them
into the boiling solution. Take them
out Immediately and allow them to
cool. Thus you have obtained a most
beautiful ornament that will last all
winter or even longer. Little wire
baskets dipped in this solution also
make pretty ornaments.

"Who Can He Ee?"

The game Who Can He Be?" is in
structive and also helps to refresh the
memory. One of the party selects a
historical parsonage without naming
him, and relates an aIeCdote or any
thing that is interesting about him,
and names the country in which he
lived. The player who guesses the
name-having previously the privil-
eye of asking one question-gives
description Of another character, and
so the game progresses. Here is an
example:
There was a celebrated Swiss, a
famous archer, a champion of liberty
and who was the first to strike blow
for freedom. He refused to bow to
the Austrian governors hat, that had
been placed on pole, that all should
do homage to it, and as a punishment
for his disobedience, he was ordered
to shoot an arrow at an apple placed
on his sons head, or else the son
should be put to immediate death
before his sight. With horror at the
fearful alternative he at first refused
begging that vengeance might fall on
him only; but the son assured him
that he did not fear the result, and
begged him to make the trial. He
yielded to his persuasions, took aim,
drew his bow and struck the apple
without injuring his son. Who was
he?"
who but William Tell?" says a
player, who instantly proceeds with
another description of hero or hero,

so fast that he had to employ men to
do the manual work while he engag-
ed in experimenting and securing
new contracts. He charged for this
work by the front foot, the price rang
ing from two to four cents, according
to the size of the contract. 1t is said
that he does not intend to make this
his regular business, but is using 1t as
a stepping stone to something higher.
The training he receives in this will
be valuable to him whatever business
he may choose.
In Cincinnati a great number Of
front steps are made Of blue lime
stone, and some time some one start
ed the fad of claying the steps with
a blue silurian clay, a process which
freshens them markedly. The clay is
found in abundance within the city
limits, and is peddled from door to
door, occasionally by some boy who
wants to buy ball or a kite. The
cry of the housekeepers is for some
one to deliver this clay regularly. AS

How Young Folks Can Earn Money.
In the records of our country's
progress there are to be found a
multitude of instances where boys
and girls have, under the stress OF
necessity, become money makers, sue
cessfully filling the place of adults.
The ever changing methods Of liv-
ing and the ever increasing popula-
ton are affording better and more
numerous opportunities for boys and
girls with energy and ambition to
make money, and here and there over
the country boys and girls are follow
ing up these advantages.

fourteen, who had attended cooking
