How to Make and Spin Your Own Top

the pencil that is above the top, slip
the lath hole over the pencil, bring the
string up through the hole, and then,
holding the top with the lath, pull the
string with the other hand. This will
set the top to spinning, and you then
LIT off the handle.
You can paint the top all in n col
or or in stripes, and on the lid you can
paint a design. This gives a pretty
effect when the top spins. To vary the
effect, cut out disks of cardboard, with
a hole in the middle, SO that they may
easily be slipped over the pencil. If
you cut the disks out in various ways,
one or more colors on the top can be
covered and exposed in different de-
signs. If the disks are moved slightly
while the top is spinning, they vary
the colors exposed and give an ever
changing appearance to the top. In
stead of cardboard. stiff paper or leath-
er may be used for the disks.
Rings of paper of different colors
may be dropped on the top while it 10

The visitor from Philadelphia had
been taken in hand by his Pittsburg
friends and shown the sights of the
city, from the Carnegie Art institute
to the belching furnaces of Homestead
together with other points Of semi
historical interest. The visitors was
naturally impressed with the action
and snappiness of the city.

FACTS ABOUT STAMPS.

"A specialist who collected the
stamps of France and her colonies re-
Gently sold his collection for $1,000.
1t takes a stamp collector to tell
where are Ancash, Antofagasta, Apuri-
mac, Chiapa, Diego Suarez, Bamra.
Yea, Wadwhan, Goliad, Jhino. Ujong.
Faridkot, Nabba and Obock.
1t requires more than 40 large al
buns to house the collection of United
States stamps owned by the earl Of
Crawford. This collection Of United
States stamps is thought to be the
most complete in existence.
The credit Of originating adhesive
stamps is generally given to James
Chalmers, of Dundee, Scotland. He
first advocated them in 1897, and in
accordance with a legislative enact
ment Of December 81, 1889, they were
issued for public use in England May
6. 1910.
The Tupelo journal., 1906-04-27

spinning, and then the cap is removed.
AS they get out of order easily, 1t IS
natural that they should not be much
used.
Humming tops are made hollow,
with a hole in n side. As the top
spins the air rushing past this open
space makes the air within the top vi
brate, causing a humning sound. 1t is
one OF these that you can make very
easily.
Get an ordinary cylindrical tin box
"a baking powder or spice box will
do-and make a hole exactly in the
middle of the lid and of the bottom.
Now push a lead pencil through both
holes, letting it project about half an
inch below the bottom. The harder the
lead in the pencil the better, and the
point should be graduated a long way
up the wood part Of the pencil, as
shown in figure 3.
Now lift the lid of the box slightly,
and with a pair of scissors cut a slip
Of tin out Of the box about two inches
long and one-eighth of an inch wide.
Replace the lid and the top is COM
plete. The lid must fit tightly; If it
does not, glue it.
To spin the top, you make a handle
out OF a small lath three or four inches
long, with a hole in one end large
enough to admit the pencil freely.
Wind the string around the part of
The Tupelo journal., 1906-04-27

spinning, giving a still different yari-
ETY. to the designs. Another way is to
make a disk with rows of little holes
in it, the central hole being large
enough, of course, to slip over the
handle. AS the top spins, touch the
disk and it will gyrate, and the holes
will look like delicate lace patterns,
changing with every touch.
On another disk with holes in it, like
the above, glue a few bright steel but
tons, and the effect will be still pref
tier.
You will have more pleasure out Of
this homemade top than out of a doz-
en- bought ones, for with a little inge-
nuity in making the disks you can have
a dozen tops in one.
A flying top described by the Chica-
go Inter Ocean is made by shaping a
stick of wood something like that in
the illustration. Three vanes, with
oblique surfaces, are fastened to it and
the string is wound around the stick.
1t is then put in an ~improvised stand
in which it can move freely, and one
end OF the string is passed through a
hole in the side OF the stand. When
the string is pulled the wooden stick
revolves, causing the vanes to turn
also, and when they are turning at suf-
ficient speed the top rises high in the
air, as the act on the air just
like propeller Of a ship on the water.

THE SEVEN BIBLES.
Their Names and What They Are
Nearly All of Them Based on
the Scriptures.

The seven Bibles of the world are
the Koran of the Mohammedans, the
| Tri-Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Ed
das of the Scandinavians, the Five
| Kings of the Chinese, the Three Vedas
Of the Hindoos, the Z~endavesta, and
the Scriptures of the Christians.
The Koran Is the most recent of
these, dating about the seventh Gen.
fury after Christ. 1t is a compound of
quotations from the Old and New
Testaments, the Talmud and the Cos
| pei of st. Barnabas.
The Pitikes of the Buddhists con-
tain certain sublime morals and pure
and died in the sixth century before
Christ. There is nothing of excellence
in these sacred books not found in the
Bible.
The sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, the word
king meaning web of cloth. They
contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the duties of life. These say
ings cannot be traced back farther
than eleven hundred years before
Christ.
The Three Vedas are the most
ancient books of the Hindoos, and
they are believed not to date beyond
LOO years before Christ. The Zen
davasta of the Persians is the greatest
of the sacred books next to our Bible.
Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains,
was born in the twelfth century be-
fore Christ. Moses lived and wrote
the Pentateuch 1900 years before
Christ, therefore that portion of our
Bible is at least 800 years older than
other sacred writings.

HIS KIND CAME IN PUNCHES
Then Hubby Was Sorry he Had
Taken Any Interest in
Dreams.

Some time ago, in New York city, a
mar was wakened in the night to find
his wife weeping, uncontrollably, relates
Harper's Magazine.
My darling" he said, in distress,
"what is the matter%
"a DREAM" she gasped. II have had
such a horrible dream"
Her husband begged her to tell it to
him, in order that he might comfort her.
After long persuasion she was induced
to say this:
81 thought l was walking down Broad
way, and | came to a warehouse, where
there was a large placard, Husbands for
Sale You could get beautiful ones tor
81 800. and very nice ones for as low as
$780,"
The husband asked, innocently: did
you see any that looked like me?"
The sobs became strangling. Dozens
of them," gasped the wife, done up in
punches, like asparagus, and sold for ten
cents a bunch"

WOMEN WORST USURERS.
It Is Said They Are More Merciless
Than Men Toward Luck
less Borrowers.

Astonishing revelations as to the
methods Of business pursued by won
en- none lenders in London were
! forthcoming during en- investigation
by an Express representative.
1t would naturally be supposed tha'
these women Shylocks would be more
susceptible to feelings of consideration
towards their victims than the ordi
nary male usurer. AS a matter of fact
instances were given in which they ex
acted their pound of flesh to the ut
most from the poor wretches who hat
fallen into their clutches, and were
hard as adamant in face of the mos
heartrending conditions.
Most of the women are of advanced
age, and their trade is carried on un'
der the guise of loan, discount OF
banking companies. In n or two
cases the women keep in the back
| ground and their transactions are car
ried on by a male representative, but
the majority do all their office work
themselves.
A clerk who had a wife and two
children, had the misfortune to borrow
$50 from a woman usurer. He only re-
ceived S45. the other five dollars being
deducted as an inquiry fee" In L
