some thirty feet below, where the
other was picking them up and pi1ing

When this latter negro was stoop.

accidentally let one fall, striking him

FNsO portion off part of the nursery
In which King Baby may be left
for short periods to amuse him
self unattended, is a very desirable
thing, but to achieve this object salts
factorily is no easy matter. In our
sketch and diagrams one practical So
luton of this difficulty will be found,
and it can be carried out with little
trouble and at no great expense.
In the first place, two three-fold
clothes horses should be obtained and
thin lars of wood nailed inSupright
positions to the parallel bars of the
horses A glance at the sketch will
explain this. Next, two pieces of
board should be firmly nailed to the
nursery wall, at a distance apart equal
to the width Of two of the divisions
Of one Of the horses. The horses can
then be fastened with hinges to these
pieces OF wood fixed to the wall, and
diagram "a illustrates this.
Tapes should be attached to the
posts at further sides of the horses,
and it is an easy matter to place them
in the position shown in the sketch
and tie the. posts together.
When not required, the horses can
be folded fiat against the wall, and
