Brother Jonathan.

Did any Of you little people ever
know where this nickname of the peo-
pie Of the United States originated?
Well, one time during the Revolu-
tionary war, when the army was in
sore need OF supplies and ammunition,
at a council that was held General
Washington demanded funds, which
were, however. unavailable. At length
Washington said in despair, "Well, we
must consult Brother Jonathan about
It," referring to Governor Jonathan
Trumbull of Connecticut. Now, it hap
pened that the governor was so sue
ccssful IN raising the necessary money
that after that when there were any
difficulties to be met the soldiers used
to say, go TO Brother Jonathan" And
after awhile when the origin of the
phrase was lost the expression still
was popular and is in use ut the pres
ent day.

the silver watch only to find that it
had stopped at 1912. The handspring
was broken. lie then looked at his
wife's watch, and hers had stopped
ten minutes later, at 1852, and investi-
CATION showed that the handspring was
broken. Amazed at this sequence Of

FOR THE CHILDREN


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 be used TO
make for himself when lie was boy,
and be wants to tell the other boys
how he did it.
Get perfectly round orange and cut
the peel into even quarters, numbering
them at one end so as to be able to put
them together again In their proper
order.
Ask your mother or your sister for
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 your ball.
Get solid rubber ball about three.
quarters Of an inch in diameter, and
on it wind the common wooden yarn of
which stockings are made. You can
buy the yarn at a shop, or, if you can
get an old stocking, ravel It out. Do
the winding evenly, so as 10 keep the
ball perfectly round. and try 1t now
and then to see if it Is large enough
for your cover. You must make it so
that It VIII fit in the cover exactly, and
then you draw the remaining edges to-
gether and sew them over and over as
you did the other seams.
The boy who uses ball of this kind
will never willingly use any other 1t
Is plenty hard enough and yet is soft
to the touch, and the rubber center
gives 1t all the needed bounce.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


According to the examinations Of the
brains Of Europeans that have been
made by anatomists, one Of the most
important physical differences between
men and apes and monkeys has been
the absence OF the so called simian
fold In the human brain. This simian
fold or sulcus, which occurs on the
posterior portion Of the main hemi-
spheres, has recently been discovered
by Professor G. Elliot Smith Of the
Egyptian government School Of Medi-
cine In tho course Of an examination
OF number OF brains n xyptt4ns
and Sudanese. H. L. .vund that In
certain exaupI' of brains In his col
lection tho characteristic folds found
in anthropoid apes are SO closely repro
duced that he is able to trace and clear
ly establish the identity Of every sui
Gus, or assure. Professor Smith has
also succeeded IN finding human brains
where the occipital pattern corresponds
closely with the brain Of the gorilla.
AS these points Of identity between
man and his nearest relations have not
previously been encountered by Euro
pean scientists in their brain studies,
their importance can be realized, as
they DO away with one Of the supposed
and hitherto recognized structural dis

The Magic Fish.

Cut a large fish out of very stout
writing paper.
In the center OF ii cut a small round
hole and from this hole cut a narrow
slit extending straight out to the tail.
Put a few drops of oil in the round
hole and then quickly but carefully lay
the fish fat on the water, making sure
that no water reaches the upper sur
face of the fish.
The fish will then be seen to move
slowly along through the water, al
though it has not received the slightest
push.
The explanation is that the oil which
you have dropped into the little round
hole tries to expand.
AS the paper does not absorb it quick
ly 1t starts to spread along the narrow
slit that you have cut in the fish from
the hole to the tail And in doing this
Il pushes the fish forward.
