CHAR Box for a Boat.

A practical vessel, capable of forg-
ing through the water a distance of
five or six yards after each winding.
can be made of a cigar box, the rib Of
an old umbrella, rubber hand, a
candle and little cord. After these
articles have been used in the con-
struction of the boat itself, many addi-
lions, such as Lighthouses and don.
key engines. can be affixed by a lad
who is handy with his penknife.
The first thing to be done is to Sc
cure a good, strong cigar box and to
rip away its lid. Cut two pieces of
pasteboard, each the width of the box
by one-third of its length, and tack
these across the front and back of the
opening. This makes a fore and after
deck. With Ratchet chop from an
umbrella rib two masts a foot long
pushing one through the fore and
one through the after deck, and pound
ing both firmly into the bottom of the
cigar box. Take what remains of the
umbrella rib, say three inches. Law

Although the best sponges come
from the Mediterranean, where divers
bring them up from the rocks in the
depths of the blue sea, goodly num-
Der may be found on the shores of
England, lying about the beach,
washed up by the tide, or sticking to
shells into which they have bored.
The shore between the marks of high
water and low water has been called
Sponge Land. Within these limits
sponges of many colors may be hunt
ed for in the pools, They brighten
the brown beach, these scarlet, orange,
yellow, green, white, gray and black
patches of sponge. The sponge one
usually sees is the skeleton of the
jelly-like living animal, and several
of these skeletons make pretty orna-

Why don't they raise girls like that

Noel called again on Miss Emmeline
! the next Thursday and the next. AT.
ter that he went often. Whether it
was her soft, vibrant voice, her gentle
eyes or her girlish manner that drew
her to him he could not say. There
was some exquisite, indefinable charm
about her, and beyond that point he
did not attempt analysis.
One bleak afternoon as he was
about to take his departure they were
standing together in the hall. Noel
suddenly seized her hand and pressed
1t to his lips.

Noel Thornton, feeling very much a
martyr to duty, walked up the old
elm-lined street in the gray gloom of
the winter afternoon. He wondered
irritably If there was any corner of
the globe where the family had no
connections or friends for him to
hunt up.
And while you are in Exmouth, :"
his mother had said, 'be sure and call
on Miss Emmeline. You know she
was one of your grandfather's stanch-
est friends. It was she, you remem-
Der, who wrote those charming qua
trains at the time of his death. Be

A delay in forwarding Orders had
temporarily stopped work on the
bridge, and back at the hotel he had
so reluctantly quilted the other engi-
neers were starting game of pitch.
Instead OF enjoying that game with
them, as by all the laws and the
prophets he should have been doing,
he was tramping up this endless street
to call on lady of much intellect and
many years,
The fact that Miss Emmeline had
been friend of his philosopher grand
father (Noel termed his ancestor "A
brainy old boy, but way beyond him')
filled him with dismal forebodings.
He fancied himself endeavoring to
keep pace With Miss Emmeline's con-
versation, and groaned inwardly. New
ertheless, he walked briskly on, and
presently stopped before huge old

was huge and dim, but furnished
modernly al with quiet taste.
A fire spIttered cheerfully on the
broad hearth, and by the windows
were azalia bushes in full bloom. On
the wall he saw large oil painting of
his intellect ual grandfather. He had
risen and vas standing before this
when soft voice said:
"And this Is Mr. Noel Thornton. I'm

Noel turn ed. There was a faint
smell of lavender in the room. In
the doorway stood Miss Emmeline.
It seemed to him that some beauty
