There are many kinds Of balls for
sale in the shops, but most OF them
are too hard for Ordinary hand playing.
The writer Of this has never seen any
thing to equal the balls he used to
make for himself when he was a boy,
and he wants to tell the other boys
how he did it,
Get perfectly round orange and
cut the peel into even quarters, num-
bering them at one end so as to be
able to put them together again in
their proper crder.
Ask soar mother or your sister for
a pair OF discarded kid gloves with
long wrists. and out of these wrists
cut four pieces exactly like the four
pieces Of orange peel. Number them
as you did the pieces of peel, and
with linen thread sew over and over
three seams, thus putting the four
pieces together. but leaving one seam
open. This is the cover for vour ball.
Get a solid rubber ball about three
quarters of an inch In diameter, and
on II wind the common WOOlen yarn
of which stockings are made. You
can buy the yarn at shop. or, if you
can get an old stocking. ravel it out.
Do the winding evenly, 50 as to keep
the ball perfectly round, and try it
now and then to see whether it is
large enough for your cover. You must
make it so that it will fit in the cover
exactly, and then you draw the re-
naming edges together and sew them
over and over as you did the other
seams.
The boy who uses a ball of this
kind will never willingly use any
other 1t is plenty hard enough, and
yet it is soft to the touch, and the
rubber center gives it all the needed
bounce.

Strange stories come from Russia. According to them there are Russians who, in this time of their country's trial. are mean enough to steal coppers from a dead mans eyes. The Czarina. the Queen of Denmark. the Queen of England and other royal personages recently equipped a hospital train at St. Petersburg. It was fitted with every requisite for the comfort of the sick and wounded. and was dispatched with every box compartment carefully se- cured with the imperial seals. Soon after the train left St. Petersburg something induced the Czarina to tele- graph to Moscow to make a careful in- spection and this was done. The seals appeared to be undisturbed. One was broken as test and the contents of the compartment were found to be useless blocks of wood. The whole train was then examined. Everything of value had disappeared, and only blocks of wood were found.
 A country which can furnish such an incident as this isn't in very hope ful condition. If the Czar isn't careful he will be stolen and held for ransom.
