board, as that will be harmless.
The weapon is the boomerang, and
IL is so constructed that no matter in
what direction 1t may be thrown, it
will return to the place from which It
started, describing a curved line as 1t

such dexterity that they could make

throw it on the ground in such a way
that it would fly into the air, describe
an arc over their heads, and come
down on the back of the one who
threw It,
Your miniature boomerang should be
cut out of stiff cardboard, the form be-
ing somewhat like a right angle, ex-
cept that the corner should be round
ed both outside and inside. The Illus
tration will give you the idea. The
strip should be about half an inch
wide, and each end, or stem, few
inches long.
To throw 1t so that 1t VIII return to
your feet, lay 1t on a book held at
slight angle. allowing one end of 1t TO
project about an inch over the side OF
the book, and then strike the project
ing end with lead pencil or a stout
penholder After a little practise you
will be able to make 1t fly off and come
back with you.
While you have the pieces of card
board at hand, try another trick that

SMALL INDIAN SEWING BIRDS
Build Their Nests In Trees Where
Frlsky Little Monkeys and Snakes
Cannot Find Them.

In far-off India there live little vel
low birds about as large as your fa'
TIERS thumb. They are called tailor
birds, because they sew. Monkeys and
snakes also live in this faraway land,
and they eat birds.
But the tailor birds are very wise.
They build their nests where they can
not be seen by the hungry monkeys.
They pick up a dead leaf and fly up
into high tree. and, with a fiber for
a thread and their bills for needles,
sew the leaf onto a green one hang
ing from the tree. They sew up the
sides and leave the top open. After
laying some of their soft feathers
and down in 1t their home is finished
And the frisky monkeys never know
the nest is swinging there in the
breeze, with two little white eggs in
1t, and the mamma bird safe in the
nest, too, while papa bird sings near
by.
Some day out of the little white
eggs will come two yellow baby birds.
which will fly away with papa and
mamma birds.

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parishloner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
the Dark.

Rev. Henry II. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story OF a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
Of small parish In Vermont. He
aspired 20 greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits Of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command
He was. however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for compli.
ment, but which was put TO him in
such n way that II left him In doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
Ono Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching tho young minister,
she said: 'Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much. they are so In
structive. Do you believe 1t, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

THOMAS A. EDIS0N'S OFFICE
Great Inventor Had Newspaper Plant
on Board Railroad Traln-"Sen-
sation" Duly Displayed.

Thomas A. Edison, the great inven.
tor, had a difficult time of 1t when he
was a boy, Just as so many others OF
our famous men have had. His father
died when he was young and his
mother, left with her family In her
Ohio home, bravely faced a difficult
problem, and that was-how to pro-
vide for her young children. AS soon
as Thomas was old enough he secured
place on one Of the railroads be-
tween Chicago and New York as news
boy. 1t was long before newspaper
trains had been thought Of, and 1t was
his work to look after the delivery Of
the papers at the various stations.
This work was difficult, but he kept
faithfully at it and by his energy won
the regard of his employers.
Young Edison soon afterward Sc
cured a position as baggageman on the
road. About the first thing he did in
that position was to set up a small
printing office in one end OF the car
and all his spare hours on the long
trips were spent In getting out little
newspapers, which he disposed of at
the villages along the road. He ar.
ranged with man in Chicago to
telegraph him the important news Of
the day. He received these dispatches
at various stations, and by the time
he had reached the next. his little pa.
per was sent out with the sensation"
