Making Scrap Books.

The very best kind of scrap book for
the nursery Is one made Of linen. color
ed cambric or muslin. Cut four pieces.
"a by II Inches. and buttonhoe stitch
the edges. Then stitch down the
middle, fold over and stitch again
along the folded edges to make the
book stay shut The edges may be
scalloped instead Of buttonholed, Adj
vertisements may be cut from news
papers and magazines and by combin-
ing them make very funny pictures.
Another kind of scrap book can be
made from a blank book which has all
of the leaves cut across about third
of the way down Cut from picture
cards or old books figures Of men,
women, boys or girls. and, cutting off
the heads, paste the bodies on the
larger part of the page and the heads
on the smaller part so they just fit to-
gether. BY only turning part of the
pages, either the upper or lower, at a
time, each body can be made to ct a
different head. But you must be care
full to paste the pictures SO that any
head will join any body. A linen book
can be made in the same way,
Make the paste by mixing one half
cup of -four with cold water to make
n smooth thin batter Stir continually.
Remove from the fire as soon us 1t
boils and add three drops of cloves.

who was riding with the troops in the
neighborhood of the garrison of Merse-
burg when suddenly his horse. higl,
melted charger, took fright and bolt
ed His efforts to restrain the animal
were fruitless. Giving the horse the
rein, the officer waited for d chance to
spring from the saddle. TO his dis
may, the animal suddenly swerved to-
ward piece Of level ground which
ended In cliff overhanging the shore.
In few moments both horse and
rider would be over the edge. But a
bright fash was seen for moment,
and the saber Of the officer fell with
deadly effect upon the head Of his
steed. just in time the officer leaped
from the saddle and escaped.

Graveyard MARRIAGES.

A strange custom prevails among
certain tribe In the Caucasus. When u
single young man dies some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried TO the grave marriageable
daughter In the course of year and
says: Your son is sure to want a
wife, III give you my daughter. and
you shall deliver to me the marriage
portion In return" A friendly offer Of
this description Is never rejected, and
the two parties soon come to terms 40
to the amount OF the dowry. which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime.
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as much
as thirty cows to secure a dead wife
for his dead son.
