to have growing in the back yard.
don't you think? Especially when
there are boys in the house with but

This strange tree grows in nearly all

nearer home where the climate ia
warm. 1t gets its name by which we
know 1t from the curious formation of
its leaves. At the tip of the leaf there
is sharp thorn, which is the needle

do better than any other people In the

is one. The tops are Of great variety.
both In size and construction. The
largest IL more than a foot In diam

are solid: others contain a flock OF
little ones that fly out when the top
Is lifted. and spin away by themselves.
Others pull in a spiral or ladder OF sue
cessive tops. One draws up into a
lantern. and spins cheerily In that
form. :
The methods Of spinning are almost
beyond description. Even very
large top is sometimes thrown as the
Australian casts the boomerang. so
that while 1t appears to be going
straight toward the head Of the spec
tator it returns to the thrower and Is
caught on his palm. When it arrives
thus the performer takes 1t by the
spindle. apparently stops it. sets 1t
down and it recommends. Turn 1t
upside down and it proceeds just as
merrily on it's iron.spiked head. The
spinners balance it on any kind OF

One Of the most delicate perfor.
mances consists in spinning top in
the left hand. up the left arm, round
the edge of the lobe at the back Of the
neck and down the other arm into
the palm Of the right hand. Another
is to toss it spinning into the air and
catch 1t on the hem Of the sleeve.
whence it runs down into the hand.
A third Is to fling it up and catch it
on the bowl Of a pipe. pass it behind
the back, toss it to the front and there
catch It again.
A large, heavy top is sometimes set
in motion by rolling the peg ir the blight
of cord. one end being held In each
hand. then flung ten or twenty feet in
air and caught with the same cord
spinning always. This can be done ten
times in succession. But the most
wonderful display consists in sending
a top spinning up rope to the head OF
a mast. and then recalling it.

Take a piece Of paper-ordihary

as to make a box, and as you bring

string in each corner securely. This
will help to keep the corners in place
and will serve to hang it with over

made, put some water in-the quality

Poor Puss,

People that live near the Hudson
river away up at the north end of
New York city were kept awake two
nights by a rattle and bang that did
not stop. They found out that the
noise came from cat, to whose tail
some one had been inconsiderate
enough to tie tin can. The can
bumped and ratified along the ground
and the fences and made a lovely
noise. 1t made the people wild, and
probably it did not much soothe the
shaken nerves Of the cat. The cat
was frightened almost to death, in
fact. 1t fed from every one, and It
was only on the morning after the
second night that It was caught. A
little colored boy chased 1t to the
rocks near the river bank, and he
caught it and took Oh the string and
the can. The ca: spat at him and
bounded away without a thought of
gratitude, and the boy threw away
the string and the tin car and went
home

the box above it, and all present may
watch the proceeding. This is a very
simple and safe experiment. and 1t
will afford much amusement and set
you thinking, too, how wonderful it
is. What is the reason why the paper
does not burn? The reason is that
the heat Of the fame is absorbed by
the water so fast that it keeps the
temperature of the paper below the
point where it can take fire. Virtual.
ly the same principle is used in the
biggest steam boilers. So long az
there is plenty Of water in the boiler
the fire will not hurt 1t, but let the
water get too low and the heat will
be absorbed by the boiler and there
will be an explosion.
