TWO EASILY MADE KITE REELS.

A kte-reel is as important to the
kite-fier as the fish-line reel is to the
fisherman, and the boy who doesn't
own a good reel cannot take the best
of care of his kite-string The short
stick on which The string is wound in
the form of a figure is a good
enough winder for the cotton string
used to fly small heXagonal or dia-
mond-shaped kites, but for the larger
Kites that require heavy cord the
stick winder to accommodate the nee
essary amount Of cord Is too long to
handle easily Besides, the stick
winder cannot be operated as quickly
as regular reel.
A practical reel can be made in
very simple manner. Fig. / shows one

and glue strip of cloth or heavy
paper around the joint TO keep the
cover from working off, and the spool

The handle upon which the spool

pull in string quickly enough to bring
kite around into the wind, OF to
handle it when it pulls very str;sng,
and then there is nothing TO do With
your hand reel but drop it upoa the
ground, unless you have boy assistant
with you. A reel that can be strapped
to the body, so that it will go wherever
you go, and always be within easy
reach, is a big improvement over the
hand reel. and Fig shows one that
can be made quickly. The spool OF
this reel can be made in a similar
manner to that used for the hand reel
shown in Fig. /. bat If you wish a
larger winding spool you can use

holes to receive the axle ends trife

one-fourth-inch between the ends OF
the spool and supports A.

BUDGET TO TOTAL
TWENTY MILLION
HUGE SUM APPROPRIATED TO
PAY RUNNING EXPENSES
OF WISCONSIN,.
ONE BILL YET TO BE PASSED
Estimated Receipts for Next Two
Years Will Be Largely in Excess of
All Expenditures However-Four
Large Bills Get Bulk of Money.

Madison-The appropriation bills
that will be passed by the present leg
islature will total $4,000, 900 for the
next biennial period. The total re-
ceipts for the same period, from all
sources, will total $31 400, 600 OF this
sum about $11,O00,0O0 viii be returned
to the towns, counties ana school dis
tricts.
The total appropriations and total
receipts are to some extent estimated.
Until the session closes it can not be
known exactly what the appropria-
tions are The receipts, too, can not
as yet be exactly known, but they
will differ but little from the figures
given.
Both appropriations and receipts in
clude everything connected with the
state finances. Each represents every
thing that will be paid out and all in
come from all sources that will be re-
ceiyed OF the latter, as stated, about
one-third is returned directly to the
towns and counties, the state treas
ury being merely junction point or
clearing house
The appropriations already made, or
contained in bills passed and the three
big appropriation bills passed by the
assembly this week, total about ST.
100000 for the biennial period. There
is still to come one other big appro-
priation bill for the state departments.
which will carry about $1,000,00O.
This, with other appropriations, will
bring the total up to nearly If not
quite $20,000,0OO Two-thirds of this
is carried in the four large appropria-
ton bills-the university and normals
the state penal and charitable insti-
tutions, the state departments, and
the highways The remainder is made

kn.m uaIus of Incense.

Doubtless a form Of incense was
burned in China and In what is now
India many centuries before Christ,
probably even before the time of
Moses and Aaron 1t may be that the
wise men of those ancient days had
learned through long FEARS Of expert
ence that there was less illness when
quantities OF incense WIS burned than
when none was used. Whether they
believed this was because of some Di-
vine token Of approval, or really I'M

the incense is not known.

Ever since that memorable foot-race,
