THE MAGIC BOTTLE.

Get a piece of pith, paper pulp. or
some other light substance. three or
four inches in length, and about half
an inch in diameter. and trim 1t into
the shape OF bottle.
Cut a bullet in two and fasten the
bottom of the bottle 10 the flat side of
one OF the halves. Make a hole down
through the centre of the bottle, and
provide a piece of heavy wire to slip
into the hole easily with its end out
of sight You can make the hole more
readily before attaching the half bull
let.
The bullet must be covered neatly
with paper, so that 1t will not be no
ticed. and the whole device should be
painted, as this will serve TO conceal
the trick.

bottle will obey your commands, and

A GRAVEL WALK.

a solid, clean path TO walk upon In
rainy weather is a real satisfaction to
the occupants OF any farm. To make
one, dig a shallow trench first. Ii
should be made the desired width Of
the path, and strips of board should be
arranged on the sides TO keep the outer
edges of the walk straight. Place in
the bottom of the trench round stones
about ten or twelve inches In diameter
apd in among them put smaller ones
to level up; then on top of rocks fill In
sufficient gravel to round up the path
little above level of surrounding
ground, and you will have a straight
path free from grass or weeds.-The

FOOD AND STOCK.

The food animals consume modlles
the character of their flesh. Turnips
yield a peculiar flavor to mutton. The
flavor Of mutton from sheep that have
lived upon the highland is different
from that Of sheep which have OBJ
tained their food chiefly from the low
lands. The garlic Of the meadows and
some fragrant herbs modify the flavor
of the meat. Oily food tends TO make
the fat soft. Hens partly fed on scraps
OF decayed meat yield eggs that are at
once unpleasant to the taste and un-
healthy. Feeding the animals for hu.
man food is then Of great importance,
and demands experience. 1t Is not
enough that food makes fat-it should
also lmpart an agreeable favor.

shawl Points on Ribbon.

Usually the black ,aifeta hair ribbons
used by school girls are clipped with
deep swalow-tail fluctuations. The
exact reverse OF this cut is seen In the
new fashion OF clipping the ends OF

or simple bows and loops In millinery
The deep. sharp ana narrowly pointed
centre of the middle ribbon is shaped
as shawl point" You can scarcely
help noticing them on the new straw
