Writing Tricks.

Can you write your name with your
left hand? 1t IS a good thing to know
how in case you ever hurt your right
hand.
Can you write looking glass letter?
That always amuses children. SO if
you have a friend who is i'll send her
looking glass letter to cheer her up.
Practice by writing on a piece Of paper
held in front Of q mirror and soon YOU
will find it IS quite easy TO do looking
glass writing. Looking glass writing
Is done backward, so that it looks all
right when it is held to the mirror.
Also see if you can write your name
backward-that is, begin at the last
stroke and go back to the first-and as
a last trick try TO write your name up
side down. That is not at all easy,
but copy your signature upside down
and you will be able 10 do ii quite well
after a little practice
After you can do all these things
learn to write good clear hand in the
proper way. like a sensible person.

FOR The Chill DREn
A Young Pirate.

The career Of the disreputable young
cuckoo is one of worldly success from
his first chipping the shell to his late
departure from our shores. He is born
with a special contrivance in the Struc
ture of his back to enable him to hoist
his foster brothers out Of the nest and
never rests till he has done so and
made things quiet and comfortable.
The foster parents then pamper the
young cuckoo with silly infatuation
due apparently 10 its size and appe-
tite. See what a fine child we have

tails or hedge sparrows fussing round

fedged. is too lazy TO feed itself.

thoroughly Ill conditioned. surly and
spiteful bird young one which was

Soap Bubbles.

If your father happens to be smok-
ing when you are blowing soap bub-
bles, get him to blow some bubbles for
you He just fills his mouth with
smoke and then blows an ordinary
bubble with the clay pipe. The bubble
will generally grow very large and
will. of course, be filed with smoke.
Floating in the sunshine, some Of these
present a very beautiful appearance.
If you want to make a very large
bubble, first cover your hands well
with soapsuds and then place them
together in the shape of cup, leav-
ing a small opening at the bottom.
Then hold your hands about a foot
from your mouth and blow into them.
The bubbles obtained in this way are
SO large that they Immediately burst
on touching the foor.-Chicago News.

The Pet Cat.

Cats need careful feeding, and it is
not generally believed that they can
and will ff taught eat green vege-
tables. They should be given these
in the form of cabbage. cauliflower
and asparagus once every day, and
that at noon.
Strangely enough, the pet cats heavi-
est meal, consisting Of four ounces Of
meat, should be given at night, and it
should invariably be run through a
chopper Potatoes are excluded from
the diet Of all well cared for cats, but
sardines are given twice a week and
only in cold weather.
Cats have individual tastes that may
be gratified within reason. The ordi-
nary American cat-and it is more sat
isfactory than the AngOra-may even
be given peaches or .currants or cocoa
nut. These are mentioned because
they were the peculiar dainties most
liked BY cat Of the writer's acQuaint-
ance.
All Of the cats milk is boiled and
given warm and well diluted, and last.
but very important, daily supply Of
fresh water and green grass is abso-
lutely necessary.

PAPER TO THE RESCUE.

Dishwashing.
Are we approaching q paper age in
housekeeping: Is the revolt Of woman
against the endless washing Of dishes
TO be met with paper plates. cups and
service shells, and are laundry bills to
be leSsened by the use of paper table
covers and dOilies? 1t would be a
charming solution. Fancy at the end
of meal just gathering up tablecloth.
dishes and all and thrusting them into
the fireplace or the waste paper basket,
1t would be housekeeping made easy
And it is fast becoming practicable,
for these paper articles are constantly
improving in quality. The only draw
back now is the price When a dozen
paper service shapes, for instance, are
thrown away after the lobster q Ia
Newburg course, from 60 cents to So,
according to the quality Of goods, is
gone.
But they are very attractive, these
service cups. They come in all posi-
bic devices, and as they are fashioned
Of handmade paper, imperviOus TO
grease and damp, any sort Of food can
be put in them. 1t is even possible to
cook creamed oysters, chicken, etc, in
them. SO that individual portions can
come straight from the stove to the
table in paper shells.
There are fancy shapes to serve jel
lies and ice creams in, with lace paper
doiies under them. The paper nap
kins and table covers are very fresh
and cool looking for summer. and
those Of simple design are not at all
expensive. The doilies and center
pieces in lace design are very fine and
almost as pliable as those Of real lace
and linen.
AS for the plates, while at first
thought the idea Of eating off paper
plates does not seem inviting. no one
can object after seeing them. for they.
too are proof against damp and
grease, and they are very decorative.
These and the service cups are to be
had in designs suitable to the seasons
and the different holidays as they

help is difficult to procure. Will find it
a great convenience to have a supply
Of these paper devices on hand.
