tinuation of the hole through the
spool.
Your next step is to cut six strips
from the cigar box, and having made
them the right length, tack them
across from the strips on one end of
the spool to the strips on the other
end, like the paddles of a real water
wheel. Use small brads in all the
lacking.
Now take a piece of soft wood,
about six inches in length, and with
your knife trim part of it down to the
right size to slip easily into the hole
through the spool, and let this part
be long enough to extend half an inch
out of the other end Put a brad
through 1t there to keep the spool
from coming off
The untrimmed part of the stick
will serve as a handle for you to hold
the wheel by, and as it is larger than
the trimmed part, of course the spool
cannot get off that end.
If you wish to see how prettily this
simple little wheel will turn when you
hold it in stream, try it under the

How to Secure Wild Pets.


The gentle. graceful little jumping
mice. white-footed mice, short-tailed
meadow-rats and fying-squirrels are to
be found in almost any rural place in
this country. These interesting little
creatures can be captured with ordi-
nary box-traps, figure fours or the
square or round wire mouse traps. The
white-footed mice. or deer mice, may
be found in the abandoned nests Of
other rodents, in holes in the fence
rails, and under clods of old plowed
fields, or beneath brush heaps in the
fence corners.
Sometimes birds nests are found
with a neatly matched roof over the
bowl and a round doorway of access
to the interior. where, snugly curled
up in a warm bed of down, the little
white-footed mouse is sleeping.
You may capture these little fellows
by hand, If you use due caution in ap-
preaching their habitation, and shield
your hand with an ordinary pocket
handkerchief They will make delight
full pets, and you will find them much
more interesting than the common
white mice. Give them a tall, narrow
cage with plenty of head room, wire
a branch containing a last summers
birds nest to the side of their cage
for sleeping quarters, and feed the
mice with bread. seed and grain.
Meadow rats are not climbers. Put
them in fiat cage with good wide
expanse of bottom covered with sod
of growing grass, the roots of which
they will eagerly devour Feed them
