the nose buttons Of the Wa-Yao and

Can You Spin the Eqa shell2

Vail tou opiH IHc Egg oneiIf
Here is trick which will surprise
the whole family.
The next time you eat boiled egg
moisten the rim-not merely the edge,
but all the raised part-of your plate
and place the empty egg shell on the
wet surface.
The shell should be broken off
evenly all the way around, so as to
form a little cup.
Now, If you hold the plate up and
tip it slightly, the egg will not mere
~ slide. but spin, along the rim, and
ty continually altering the inclination
angle of the plate you can make the
shell spin all the way around it. do
not mean that it will spin rapidly,
like top, but that as it goes around
the plate it also revolves slowly about
its own axis in the same direction.
Now this, you know, is just what
the earth does in travelling around the
sun, SO here you have an easy and
pretty lesson in astronomy at the
breakfast table.
It is not exactly nice to muss with
ones food, but in this case 1t may be
allowable to make daub of egg yolk
ir the center of the plate. with rays
streaming out all around, to repre-.
sent the sun.

Voices Of Native Africans.

The timbre of the voices among CEN
trail Africans is usually good--deep
and strong in the men. very melods-
Gus and sweet in the women. One
notable popularity about the people
Is the forced key in which they al
ways carry on conversation. The or
binary quiet tones Of civilized speech
are scarcely ever heard among them.
They literally shout and. such being
their habit, 1t is a matter of indif-
ference to them whether the person
to whom they are speaking is close
by or twenty yards away. "They are
most tireless chatterers," says a trav-
eler. II doubt whether any other PEG.
pie in the world talk SO much or laugh
10 much. Their laughter Is particu.
larly healthy. natural and unre-
strained--a most exhilarating sound"

An Autograph Calendar.

The home made calendar ID just
now one of the holiday gifts which ia
| in course of manufacture, and Ger
tainly there is NO gift which is war
rarted to keep new all the year in
the same way that the hand inscribed
calendar is. To make this calendar
1t is first essential that 365-no, 800
(for 1904 is leap year)-slips of pa.
rer be cut of a uniform size-three
inches wide by four inches long is a
fair measurement-and then, after
having an linked line drawn across
one inch from the top edge, they are
ready to inscribe. A line in red ink
is suggested. The space above the
line is reserved for the date, and may
be added last, just before the slips
are mounted into block and cement
ed at both sides 50 that the owner
may not anticipate the contents of
the various leaves.
The leaves are now sent about to
the various friends Of the one for
whom the calendar is intended, and
each is invited to inscribe leaf with
an appropriate sentiment, either orig
inal or quoted, but in the PERSONS
own handwriting. AS may be seen,
there are daily surprises all during
the year for the recipient.
One of these autograph calendars is
now in process of construction for
young fellow at college, and it is be-
ing made by the young girls of his
social set at home. On some of the
slips he will find tiny photograph
Of the sender. On another a sketch
of some significant subject; on an
other an allusion to some event in
the past, a reminder of an occasion
to cause him amusement. There is
fine opportunity here for the display
Of originality, and by the time each
girl has done her best, the calendar
is sure to be filled.
This same calendar idea works up
beautifully for birthday gift, when
It may begin with the birthday, no
matter when it comes, and extend
through the following year to the next
birthday. If it is preferred, the slips
OF paper, instead of being mounted
on a block and cemented, may be per-
forated with two round holes at the
Top and then mounted on the wooden
back with wire hooks, the same that
finds favor on many desks, enabling
the owner to examine all at any time.
