Tonti's mind ran rapidly over the
situation; to return meant wealth,
honor. the kings favor. and all that
he had thought when there worth
striving for. To remain meant the
giving up of the glittering vanity and
polluted pleasures of the court, while

life work before him of building up the

How to Make and Spin Your Own Ton

Is something about them that will be
sure to interest you, and at the same
time help you to make one for your
self. as the boys in France often do
Or course. you will learn by yourself
to spin the ordinary top, but, strange
as 1t may seem, this is done in a some
what different manner by English and
American boys. In England the boys
hold the top as in illustration / in this
country it is held as in figure 2. But
the result is the same when the ton is
thrown to the ground.
For whip-top, an eel-skin makes
the best whip, as 1t is soft and clings
to the top, making 1t spin better.
Spring-tops have almost passed out
of vogue; they have cap or handle
at the upper end. which Is held in the
hand while the top Is turned round and
round. This winds up spring in the
handle. and when the top is placed
on the ground the spring sets 1t to

Did you ever see anybody cut a
pane OF glass with a pair OF scissors?
Perhaps you think IL can't be done:
but it can. Suppose you try 1t. Get
large pair Of scissors, or shears. and
hold them and the glass entirely under
water while you cut; the water dead

the decorations were the typical short

the real fun OF the evening began.

Sounds rather dreadful, does It not?
In reality, 1t is rich and artistic.
AS for the mattings, they never were
lovelier, even though the dealers are
tearing their hair over delayed ship
ments.
BY the way. the cause of this delay is
interesting.
Most Of our mattings come from
Japan or China-though this year is
SHOWN an American mating, made OF
straw from China, so fine and pliable
that even the japanese themselves mar
vel at its texture. In point OF fact, II
is too fine for service, but would make
excellent panelings or even hats.
Now, the Japanese mattings-many or
them-have not turned up yet, because,
when the 200, 900 soldiers came back from
Manchuria, the government allowed to
each Of them four mats apiece for new
floor covering. The dealers, seeing more
profit in the weaving Of these cheap
rugs one and a half inches thick, six
feet long and four wide, promptly went
back on their foreign contracts.
However, more straw by 70 to 80 per
cent. was grown in Japan this year than
last and the supply promises to be soon
up 70 the mark again.
There is a noticeable Improvement this
season in all,the Japanese mattings that
have been received. The weavers seem
