Salt and Alum CRYSTALS.

Into 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 a 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 a solution the same as you did
for crystals, only boiling it in a sauce
pan. Pick 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.

The result was that her chicken pies

that end for which she began the
work was attained, her customers
would not hear of doing without her

boy did his work well and soon had

so fast that he had to employ men to
do the manual work while he engag-

new contracts. He charged for this
work by the front foot, the price rang

to the size of the contract. 1t is said

Large coIored Soap Bubbles.

This is the way to make soap bub-
you ever saw, and so tough" that
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 lye in the soap, with tae
glycerin increases the brilliancy of
the bubbles. and the gum gives them
elasticity. Hot water is necessary to
dissolve the various ingredients. but
unless cold water IS added they ex-
pand and break to rapidly in the
blowing process. A curious pipe that
will blow several bubbles at one time
can be obtained from any kindergar.

these three questions?"

Then the shepherd boy answered,
Your majesty, let all the rivers on
thet earth. be stopped SO that not a
httle drop can flow into the ocean,
which | have not first counted, then

Then the king said. "The second
question is. How many stars are in

front steps are made of blue lime
stone, and some time some one start
ed the fad of claying the steps with
blue silurian clay, process which

wants to buy a ball or a kite. The
cry of the housekeepers is for some
