Stick an ordinary metal handled Ia

that the handle will point toward the
floor or threshold. Now, say that you
have such a wonderful eve for aiming
that you will guarantee to lay a wal
nut on the floor in so accurate a posi-
ton that the knife will hit it surely
when it is made to drop by hitting the
doorway a whack with the fist enough
to loosen IL.
But first, as you do not wish to be
a monopolist, you will ask anybody
else who thinks that he has a good
eye for aim, to lay the walnut where
he thinks the knife viii drop.
Somebody win be sure to try It, and
the knife will be almost equally sure
TO strike the floor to one side or the
other Of the walnut The fact is that
it is quite impossible for the ordinary
human eye to gauge such a matter as
this accurately.
After everybody who wishes has
tried and failed, you thrust the knife
into any part of the upper part of the
doorway as before, and then fill a
glass with water. Raise it to the

Making paper Dolls.

Paper dolls always give delight,
particularly if little ingenuity is dis
played in making the faces a little
different from ordinary dolls faces.
Sheet cardboard not too thick is the
best material for making these dolls.
and the easiest way to mark them
out is to cut a pattern from heavy
cardboard, lay it on the thin card
board and draw around 1t with pen
eil Mark an entire sheet at once.
When the figures are cut out paste o
scrap picture head on each one. leav-
ing the neck Of the scrap picture free
and unattached. The top Of the dolls
dress slips under this neck and is
thereby aided to remain securely in
place. With pen, pencil or brush
draw the lines to represent the under
clothes. The stockings are usually
painted with dull black water color,
though there is no reason why they
may not be painted red and further
adorned with stripes or dots. A good
effect is secured by painting the
shoes in gold paint Slippers may be
painted black and ornamented with
bows or k-ckles. The foundation Of
the dress should be cut out of heavy
cardboard and marked around on writ
ing paper White is the best color.
