LIES TOLD BY CHILDREN.
Timidity Is One Cause, and 1t Re-
quires TactfuI Remedy.


Some children lie because they want
to show off and brag, others because
they are too timid. 1t is clear that the
lies of two children differing in this
way must be treated by entirely differ
ent methods For the Wanting lie it
is sufficient to defeat its purpose by
showing that the boast cannot be car
ried out.
A little girl was sent on an errand to
the store to get loaf of bread and
came back saying that there was no
more to be had. The mother. of course,
knew that that could not be and soon
found out that the child had forgotten
what she was to get and was afraid of
being ridiculed for forgetting. Here
the cause of the lie was tiInidity. In a
case of this kind mother ought to
develop the self confidence of the child
Every pormal child has instincts that
can be developed into habits of truth
fulness. Even more important than
the right kind of treatment for I'M
truthfulness. says the writer in the
Housekeeper. is the necessity for an
atmosphere in which the spirit of
truthfulness is all pervading.

The most important kind of wood

Dry The lightness, without loss of
strength, for which American made
vehicles are famous is largely due to
the use of hickory. 1t has great

For one thing. the light wheels used
on some kinds of pleasure vehicles
would have TO be fitted with very

HAVING FUN WITH AN EGG.
How to Arnuse Your Company by
Simple Method.


Simple Method.
When you give your next party try
this trick, which will create a fund of
laughter.
Take a raw egg and empty it by
means of pinholes. AS soon as the in
side of it is dry fill it a quarter full of
fine sand and then with little white
wax seal up the apertures. Its likeness
to an ordinary egg is now complete.
The next time boiled eggs are served
at breakfast take your preparation
egg and substitute it for one that is
given you Then you may safely an
nounce that your egg is ready TO obey
your slightest word. You can place it
at viii in any position you desire. 1t
will stand on the edge of Il knife or the
rim of 4 glass. no matter whether you
put it sideways or endways. In the
last case you will cause all the more
establishment. because it will seem to
treSpass against the laws of gravity
The only precautfon you need observe
is to tap the imitation egg gently. so
as to cause the sand to settle each
time at the bottom. and thus you viii
get il 10 assume any position you wish
1t will appear like magic
Now, the disobedient egg is an egg of
quite another kind. 1t is prepared as
follows: You must introduce half an
ounce or SO of very fine shot through
the hole. together with n little pow
dered sealing wax Then warm it
gently over the stove. You will thus
have a fixed center of gravity in
your egg which will cause the most
contrad ictory appearances 1t will
prove a perfect fund OF laughter. No
matter how you pretend to pose 1t, the
weight of lead ut one end will drag II
away from its position just as soon as
you leave it to its own deyices--Mag-
tcal Experiments.
