How Did the Rose Get There7

It As the bubble ought to last some
time that il may be seen and admired
by everybody in reach, the best pos
sible soap solution should be used so
that the film may be strong. This may
be accomplished by pouring a little
gryceTine into the solution.
Now take a large dinner plate, and
pour the solution into it, to the depth
Of about One-eighth Of an inch. Then
place a hOwer-a rose, a carnation, or
any other you chCOse-in the centre
Of the plate, and over it place an
ordinary tin funnel
Blow gently into the small end Of
the funnel, and lift it slowly and
gradually at the same time. Keep on
blowing until a gOOd-sized bubble has
formed, and then gently disengage the
funnel. This may be done by turn
ing it at right angles. but you must
be very careful TO avoid breaking the
bubble
When the funnel his been Olsen
gagged there viii be a large bubble on

For the purpose of this trick a

Through the hole thus formed pass
a piece OF thin cord or string and at
each end of this tie a large knot, so
as not to allow either Of the ends to
pass through the hole in the ball.
Now you are ready to perform the
trick Place one end Of the string IN

Bran, grain. peas, parsley, carrots,
tUTnip tops and a few cabbage leaves
are the things that rabbits like TO
eat, and a dish Of clean water should
always be kept in the hutch.
The bunnies should be allowed 10
