An Old Bottle Piano.

You can probably find sixteen OF
eighteen empty bottles. and am going
to tell you how to make IA bottle piano
on which you can play real tunes. and
which will give you any amount OF
fun. says writer in Cassel's Little
Folks.
You will require two poles broom
handles will do--a couple Of chairs,
the bottles and some water.
Place the two poles across the chairs
and suspend the bottles from them
using pieces Of string with double
loops. II the bottles are all the same
size you obtain different notes by pour
ing water into them: the more water
you pour into bottle. the lower the
note will be. But If the bottles are OF
different shapes and there is no rea
son why you should not hang up all
the empty bottles you can lay your
hands on upon striking them with a
stick you will find that each bottle
gives forth different note and can be-
water. according to the note required
II the bottles are all alike you will
pour a little water In the first bottle.
q little more in the second. still more In
the third and so on until the eighth
Is almost full. On the second pole you
can get in the sharps and flats. and ii
you wish yon can add II third pole AMI
go an octave higher by using smaller
bottles.
For playing the bottle piano use a
wooden stick or cane: for quick tunes,
use two sticks. one in each hand. and
for still faster work. two performers
are required. one ON each side Of the
piano.

Foot MASSAGE.

Where the feet are in good condition
massage lightly given about once a
week will prove quite beneficial. But
when feet are in troublesome condi
ton they must. to obtain relief. be
treated daily. One thing the feet need
very much, and Of which they get very
little. is air. They should be freed
from shoes and stockings at least half
an hour every day. True. the feet are
bare ut night time: but. as rule. they
are not uncovered. SO they do not get
much air.
Daily bathing. a weekly massage.
properly fitting shoes and stockings.
with daily change Of the latter and
sufficient airing. would relieve and I'M
doubtedly cure mostly all foot troubles.
Still. there is another thing to be men
toned regarding the care Of the feet.
and thar Is the stockings. Sometimes.
where apparently no trouble nj all ex-
lists and the feet are given the best
possible attention. they begin to smart
and burn.
White or unbleached stockings are
usually the best for the feet. but some
women prefer coored. and for that
reason 1t is advisable to purchase those
with at least white soles This part OF
the sto. king Is never seen. even with
low shoes. and the white sole will
prove great benefit to the feet.

no atfectatiouS from Paris, Berlin or

Lady Scott Refuses Kings Offer.

Lady Scott. the widow Of the ant.

suit Of rooms In the Hampton Court
palace by King George.
These suits are given for life to the

able to maintain their position with
their private means.
To the surprise of the king. Lady
Scott declined the offer on the ground
that she could not pursue her art as a
sculptress ut Hampton court. Her re-

Care Of Young Children.

1t Is curiuti' to notice how few wom-

hension in children between the ages
Of two and five years. They will dis
cuss the most impossible subjects be-
fore the little ones and very often dis
cuss the children themselves in a way
that seems to indicate that the little
brains are blanks. So they are at first.
but they are blanks upon which any
passing hand can write what very few
hands can erase.
The average child of these years is
quicker to comprehend than at any
other period He is more sensitive to
Impressions than grownups can posi-
bly, realize. An angrily raised voice
leaves blot on the young mind which
1t will take weeks to remove.

Train your little one In ideas of big

Rag Dolls and Beads.

The average child loves to make
those rag animals and dolls that are
now sold ut every toy shop. The
shapes are easily cut. and then they
are stuffed with rags and sewn up
again. This is another opportunity to
humor childs artistic bent because
the animals can really he made from
plain pieces of calico. provided some
body cuts it out in the right shape.
and this can be painted 10y the young
ster.
Stringing beads is a favorite pastime
with the sick child. Rings. bracelets
and necklaces can be made for rela-
tives ION ORDER and there is nothing
that children enjoy so much as making
things for grownups.
Scrap book making is another task
which a child enjoys. Give him a
blank book. a paste pot and few old
Illustrated magazines and he will
amrise himself for hours
An imaginative child finds great Joy
in seashells. He loves to feel the diff
ferent shapes and by putting them to
his ear thinks he can hear the sounds
of the waves. This sometimes enter
tains him for hours.
