TrOllODe at Work.

1t was the customary habit of An.
thony Trollope, perhaps the most me-
thodical Of well-known English novel
lists, to always write with his watch
open on his desk. When at work he
drilled himself into the practice of
writing $50 words every quarter Of an
hour and placed his watch before him
to make sure Of completing his thou
sand words an hour. He pooh poohed
the idea Of waiting for inspiration and
punctually produced his copy with the
regularity Of clockwork whatever his
mood at the moment. He made a cal
culation to show that in this way, by
working at his desk only three hours
daily, he could write ten pages Of an
ordinary novel a day and finish three
novels comfortably each year. lrOl.
lope could also write as easily in rail.

Building . Pigeon House.
Every normal boy loves to have a
few pigeons about the barnyard, and
no normal parents will object to their
boys satisfying this natural taste for
such choice, pretty fowls.
And such pretty pigeon houses may
be built of old lumber and broken-up
packing boxes, the boy being his own
carpenter. These little houses should be
built a proper distance above the
ground, but not too high to be easily
reached by the boy who Is attending to
the rearing of the fowls. 1t Is a good
plan to build, say. a four-room house.
This will accommodate four pairs of
pigeons. And be very careful in buy
Ing your pigeons to know that they are
mates, for pigeons are very particular
n the matter Of choosing companions,
and when once mated they cannot be
induced to change their affections.

to strong light so that the little hole
will be about eight inches from the eye.
Then give him the pin and tell him to
hold it, head up, between his eye and
the hole in the card.
This is what he will see The pin that
he Is holding will seem to vanish, and
instead of it there will be an image Of
pin upside down in the air behind the

tries 1t the result will be the same.
