Heading BY ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
Best Method Is to Have the Light Cen
siderably Above the Head.

1t is almost universally believed that
the best form of reading lamp is one
which, by means of an effective shade.
concentrates the greater portion of the
light upon the reading matter, Further.
more, the lamp is usually one Of the
"drop-light' sort. which brings the fame
near and below the readers ewes. The
result sought after is, that much light be
precipitated on the page, and ON the mage
only, while the surrounding parts of the
room be weakly Illuminated, even to
gloominess.
Ii this condition be obtained an ideal
state of affairs is presumed 70 exist. and.
at first, II looks very plausible, so plausi-
bic. indeed that it is usually accepted as
positive fact not to be gainsaid. Bur
1t must be refuted. The custom, though
OF long standing, and OF almost unoues-
toned correctness, is a bad one. and
doubly harmful because of the siren.
mold IL has upon the public mind.
The best method of lighting aFti6cisIjy
when the source of light is a bright one.
Is to place the light considerably above
the head, holding the reading matter in
such position as 10 be illuminated A.

Sand Pictures.

IF the augustness would condescend to
take honorable repOse for but moment
until his servant can get her miserable
sands she win make for him the sand
pictures"
That was the way little Japanese
girl spoke to the writer in the Washing
ton Post, one day in Kobe. An Ameri-
can child, even II she could do what this
little one did, would have said IF the
gentleman will be seated l will get my
sands in minute" They speak quantity
in Japan.
But she brought in a moment three lit
tie bags filled with sand-white blue and
yellow--and then she led the way into
the garden. Seating herself without dis
arranging single fold of her dainty XII
mona, she scraped Il smooth place on the
gravel walk, and poured out the white
sand, carefully spreading it in little
square.
Then, taking handful of the blue
sand she let it trickle through her fin
gers, rapidly making design of cot
tage in outline. With the yellow sand
she made the background and mixing the
yellow and the blue, she designed trees
of brilliant green.
She drew yellow windows in the blue
cottage and made a yellow walk lead
ing mp TO the door. In FIVE minutes she
had made the most delicate little pie
ture which looked like panel in y .Iapa-
nese screen.
Every child in Japan plays this little
game of making sand pictures, and it is
one which win give unending entertain
ment to children everywhere. 1t is easily
tried and some beautiful little things can
be made by any child with a taste for
drawing. Brooklyn Eagle.

loom" which floats on the water, can be
folded up like an accordion when not in

object of expanding it. which is done

BY means of the action of the wind on
