A Home-M ade Fleet.

Isn't it fun to sail boat, boys and
girls? Not a real one, because, of
course. very few Of us can do that
but those that we make ourselves.
Some boys can build really fine lit
tie craft for themselves, but for those
who have not that knack we will tell
of a way to make a whole fleet of sail
boats. 1t is so easy that even very
tiny tots can manage it,
Take the shells of walnuts, the big
best you can find, clean them out care
fully and cover the opening with card
board cut the exact size. Thrust q
match through the center of this card
board and fasten it to the bottom of
the shell with sealing wax or beeswaX
Cut sail out of white paper and
fasten it to the match with thread
If you like, you can paint the hull
of your boats (the shelD in colors;
say, have one feet all white, another
gray for fighting trim, and so on.
These boats can be sailed in soun-
tains, in bath tubs or even in real
ponds, because they are so cheap to
make that no one would be bankrupt
If every vessel were swamped. Fine
races can also be arranged between
contesting boats.

fellows in the same room in the shoe
factory, who gave him the eggs. smiled
among themselves. The eggs hatched,
and then the devoted bantam-raser
hung over the "chicks" in rapture.
They were the most awful specimens
of bantams, though, he ever saw. They
were the lankest and most insignifi-
cant and nakedest and fuzziest birds
he ever met in all his existence.

A Lesson in Honesty.

When I was a boy in Virginia, my
father had one of the finest water
melon patches in the region round
about. One of the colored boys on
our plantation was named Bill. He
and I were great playmates and we
were both very fond OF watermelons.
One day, when the crop was almost
ripe. my father called us to him and
aid:
"If any Of the melons are stolen.
am going to measure the tracks in the
field, and then measure feet, and the
owner of the feet that correspond
with the tracks will get good whip.
ping"
This frightened me, but was bound
to get some melons. Bills feet were
much larger than mine; so l got his
shoes, stuffed them with grass. walked
in them to the patch, got melon. ate
it and replaced the shoes.
Next afternoon my father came to
where Bill and I were, with a stick in
his hand, and ordered aill to fetch his
shoes. They were brought, my :sther
