FOR THE HANDY CHILD.
To Make an AeoIian Harp.

ibis instrument can u made by
almost any ingenious hoy. 1t consists
of a long, narrow box of Very thin
wood, about five or six inches dee
with a circle in the middle OF the mp
per side an inch and a half ID diane
Ser, IN which are to be drilled smFu
2hoics. In this side seven, ten or more
strings, of very fine gut. are stretched
over bridges at each 4end, like the
bridges of a fiG.le, and screwed up or
relaxed with screw pins.
The strings Chould az ne tuned
to the same nOtesand the instrument
be placed in some current of air,
where the wind can pass over it's
strings with freedom. A window, the
width of which is equal to thu length
of the harp, with the sash just raised
to give the air admission, is a proper
situation. When the air blows upon
the strings of the harp, with different
degrees of force, it will excite different
degrees of sound; sometimes the blast
brings out all the tones in full concert,
and sometimes it sinks to the softest
murmurs.

STYLES In Eur Goats.

Iarge~kuttons, the handsomest at
tainableSOadorn the fur coats, both
long and short, this season, and they
are exceedingly decorative.
While the costlier furs are natural
ly E2entioned first and command the
most attention, thereGs a generous
use of other fuTs for long and1EhOrt
coats. CaracuI. beaver, astrakhan
and squirrel are selected for cheaper
garments, the Siberian squirrel for
the coat and the striped and plain
squirrel for Innings.
Fur lined wraps are immensely
popular, both for street and evening
wear, ermine being chose4G for the
lining OF some Of the most elaborate

Housekeepinu Hint.

If You are cooking fish, ham or any
thing else that makes a strong odor
or if something has boiled over oil
burned in the oven, scatter a little
coffee on top of the stove or on hot
griddle and let it burn. The odor oil
the coffee will be much stronger than
the others and far more agreeable. II
will not do any harm on the stove, sc
let it burn up, and if necessary carry
some through the house on hot pan
This is better than the old method o.
