roy WATER MOTOR THAT IS US EFuL.

The toy motor here shown is strong
er than any offered for sale, if it is
properly made. 1t will run 1000 or
1900 revolutions per minute, and can
be made by any boy who has hammer,
saw, nails and some tin. 1t can be
used for running small toys, and also
running thread to and from another
pulley some distance away. Keep the
description of this motor, for it can
be used in a great many ways, and
later on you will find it of value to
you, even if you make no use of it
now.
The most important part is the
wheel. This is made from soft wood,
half an inch thick and five inches
wide. To make the wheel, drive nail
in half-inch board. Make loop in
a thread and throw over it. Use the
string as a guide in drawing circle
by putting the end around the point
of a lead pencil and using the nail
as the center. Cut off all the wood
from around this circle.
Now put the wheel in wise to hold
it still. From the edge of the wheel
down toward the center saw Sits half
an inch deep to hold the paddles. The
shape of the paddles is shown inside
the wheel. They are make of tin taken
from a cracker box and cut out with
an old. pair of shears. Cut pieces of
tin one inch square. Make two cuts in
each piece half an inch apart, half an
inch long, and make both cuts from
the same side Of the tin square. !

How Fishes Talk.

Fishes undoubtedly communicate
with their fellows. Even if they can
not talk" they have other means of
communication that are better adapt
ed to their needs. We know how read
lily fishes recognize their mates, and
how quickly brooding fishes repel in
truders on their own or other species.
Something besides seeing them-per-
haps some sense of which we have no
conception-may do this. Many fishes
communicate with their fellows by
means of sounds produced through the
medium of their air bladders, by
grinding their teeth together, and in
various other ways.-St. Nicholas

Flower Hats.

A few flower hats are shown for
early fall wear-not the solid flower
tops that we are accustomed to, but
wide-brimmed affairs with rows of
tiny flowers about the crown and un-
der =, the ur-turned brim at the side.
Sometimes three rows of blossoms
will: make the depth of the crown,
and each row will be Of a single COL
or, as, row of pink at the top, one
OF white about the center and a
green or blue next the brim-enough
altogether to give it the name of a
flower hat.

At recent porch luncheon the
whole tomatoes served were peeled

In country house where a large
number of lamps are used it is bet
ter to keep them in a little closet by
themselves than to expose them on a
shelf in the kitchen, where they are
sure to collect dust.
The lid of teapot should always
be left so that air gets in. Slip in a
piece Of paper to keep it open. This
prevents mustiness. The same rule
applies to a coffee pot
Flatirons should be washed every
week and always kept in a clean, dry
place. Few housekeepers use suffi
cient wax in ironing. Do not allow
your irons to become red hot. as they
will never again retain the heat.

New Tea Table Covers.

Tea table covers grow more and
more ingenious, and are often mar
vels of beauty. One of the latest is
found and made of heavy linen, with
an exceedingly. deep border of Rus
sian lace, combined with Cluny, in
most novel and fascinating manner.
The deep ecru of the Russian braid
with the white of the Cluny makes
a fine and snowy contrast, and the
two are combined so perfectly as to
make one harmonious whole

Cupid's Iona Ears.

Cupid was King Charles dog, and
had long, silky ears. They were a
light to his mistress from an artistic
standpoint, but they were nuisance
when it came to eating. If Cupid
drank milk from a saucer, his ears re.
ceived a milk bath, and the same re-
suit followed upon his partaking of
bread and gravy or the various other
viands with which Cupid satisfied his
department Of the INTERIOR
Psyche was cat. She had no such
beauty as Cupid, but she was the
past grand MISTRESS in the art of
cleanliness. Psyche simply could not
endure anything that was dirty, and
Cupld's ears were great source of
annoyance to her.
One day Dorothy, the little girl
who owned both Cupid and Psyche,
heard the most pitiful bowls coming
from Cupid. Rushing to find out the
cause she found Psyche seated on
Cupid's back with his head pinned
down fast by her claws. Cupid pro-
tested, but it was of no use. Every
time he moved, Miss Psyche's claws
went into him more deeply.
Psyche had made up her mind that
Cupid's ears must be washed, and
she was washing them. Her little
pink tongue Tapped them, first this
way and then that. The long hairs
got in her throat and made her cough,
but that did not stop her. Notwith-
standing Cupid's comical howlings,
she persevered, and despite the large
ness of the contract and the small
ness of the washing apparatus,
Psyche continued in her well doing,
unsl Cupid's ears were in the state
Of cleanliness she deemed necessary.
How Dorothy laughed! She deter
mined, however, that instead of SUBJ
jecting Cupid to such treatment in
the future she would pin-or, more
correctly, hairpin-his ears upon the
top Of his head while he was dining,
which she did. Cupid at first object
ed, but when Dorothy gave him bis
choice between hairpins or Psyche's
claws, without hesitation he chose the
former as the lesser Of the two evils.
The Laughing Game.
The laughing game is one of the jol.
lest. 1t requires no preparation what
ever, but may be played by a room
full Of boys and girls the moment it is
suggested. Any number of players
may take part in it. They first select
leader, who should be, a bright, alert,
quick-witted boy, capable of preserv-
ing his ,sef-possession while fun. and
laughter are going on all aro-nd him.
The players seat themselves IN a
circle, and the leader takes his place
In the center He holds in lis hand.

BANGLE as a Pjedre.

new idea is to substitute an en-
gaGe1ent bangle for the conventional
ring. These bangles, which some
times slight circlets, and som etimes
broad gold bands. give the lover the
satisfaction Of feeling that he has in
1eod safely fettered his fair fiancee,
for, once fastened, the clasp can only
be opened by being forced apart with
a chisel. On the continent, where it
is customary for lovers to exchange
rings, engagement bangles are some
times worn by men. but they are rare
~ seen on men of English-speaking
races.

Where it Comes From.

When you chew those delicious leo
rice drops did it ever occur to you
where it came from?
Well, it is made from the root of q
southern plant.
These roots are rich yellow in
color, and taste, oh! so good. But
they are not used right away. They
are mashed until thick liquid is
brought out. This is boiled and boiled
until all the water is boiled away.
and the gummy stuff that remains is
cooled and then rolled into sticks as
