usual thoughtfulness for horses, sug-
gosted that two men and their books
were too heavy a load for one small
pony and proposed that he and his
friend should get out aid walks They
therefore jumped down and walked for
some distance IN front OF the trap. the
little horse following. Suddenly, how
ever. they found that the books were

way. The poet was asked TO stand by
the pony's head while his companion

knowing that the little fellow had a
great dislike for strangers, he asked
how Tennyson had managed TO keer
him quiet. He was astonishcd TO find
that the poet had done this by holding
his watch from time TO time TO the
pony's ear, as you may sometimes sec

The balance Game.

Get as many large apples and as
many small nuts as there are players;
then give each person a knife and a
saltspoon. Only one individual may
try his skill at a time. Now let them
take up the apple with the saltspoon
and the nut with the knife from of a
smooth table, which is placed away
from any wall. They may, Of course,
try TO play OFF the one against the 9TH
er, but even then the task will prove no
easy matter. Having, however, got the
two articles balanced. they must carry
them, one in each hand, TO n dish three
yards distant from the starting point.

A pretty bookcase for bedroom or a
cupboard for few choice cups and
saucers can be made from four oblong
boxes about II inches by 8 inches. Put
one of the boxes on top Of the other,
having the top one meet the outside
edge exactly, but standing on its small
er end. Screw the boxes together in
the centers. Put the other two boxes
together evenly and screw. Then screw
the two pieces together through the
sides. Stain with ponce or mahogany

or use curtain wire instead Of rod.
Make silkoline curtain the depth of

How English Boys Train Puppies.
English boys excel all others in the
way they train their puppies to grow
up and become good dogs Their mas
tiffs are the most sagacious, their hunt
ing dogs are the most sEillful, their
collies heel beyond all criticism and
their greyhounds are fleet past all be-
lieving. When an English boy trains
his dog he is very firm with him, but
very kind. Young Johnny Bull never
loses his temper with his faithful four
footed friend. When he sets out to
teach his dog a trick he coaxes him un-
tiringly and rewards him plentifully.
If doggie is out Of spirits, he is al
lowed to rest until he feels better, and
if punishment is administered it is
done at the time and not delayed until
doggie has forgotten BIS misdemeanor.
Teasing is never INDUCED in, nor is
the whip ever playfully flourished to
strike terror to the poor fellows heart.
If it is wrong for doggie to do a thing
today. it is wrong for him to do it to-
morrow. And good food is fed TO him
on clean plate, and he gets bones TO
gnaw only for his amusement, just as
boys sometimes like to chew licorice
root or sassafras bark, but OF course
they do not want It for dinner.

them on a foundation Of sheer silk OF

curtain is carefully basted on this foun-

the pattern outlined with a soft linen
