Fun for Children

How many mothers know that children can be entertained by making animals with vegetables two or more), hand ful of toothpicks, half dozen cloves, and few allspice to use for eyes, a carrot
 radish. and an onion, together with a few entrants or raisins. some dried fruits, and other things that are available?' Let the child decide what kind of animal he wishes to make. You might suggest the toothpicks be used for legs, wings, and tail, and the vegetable be the body. A turtle may be made by using the cloves for legs and raisin for the body. A small piece of white radish with a long row of broken toothpicks sticking on both sides. looks like a thousand legged bug. If this game be used at parties. prizes should be given to the youngster who makes the best looking animal. while the tot making the poorest might be given a trhe to pay him for the effort made. Let the children guess the names of the animals, and a third gift be given to the
 one who guesses the most in the exhibit. SISTER JANE"

ATCRAI-LY everybody is aware o IN the total depravity of ina animat,
 It is unnecessary to waste argumen trying to impress upon the multitude what | it already knows instinctively, and ac- cepts, but apart from complete lack oi conscience inanimate objects have dis tinct and absolutely different personaIi l ties.
 Consider. for instance, the coyness oi the needle,
 Arranged in neat rows in sharp Cor is 1t flat cases2, could anything look more demure or rigidly correct than needles? But once release a needle from it's chrys- alis case, if you can ever tell where it is, or what it is up to, you possess the super mind.
 No; you can't any more count upon the antics of needle than you can guess what crowd of boarding scchool girls are going to do after the signal Lights outl'' is sounded, for they may be sliding down the back staircase or climbing out of windows. just for the sheer joy of breaking the rules.
 It's the same way with a needle. You thread it and lay it on the sewing table, or stick it in the perfectly good bosom of your dress. and you go to look for 1t a few minutes later and you can't find it to save your life. If nobody wanted the little old thing 1t would gleam like star but if you happen to need it worse than anything else in the world at a given time, you couldn't locate it with a search warrant.
 IT you are a man. you know only too well what diabolical performances the whole brotherhood of man has gone through with shirt studs and collar but tons. Neither has one grain of sense when it comes to responsibility. Other masculine belongings, such as suspenders occasionally break down, or act other wise, but as rule they recognize some sense Of duty toward the manufacturer whose name they bear, and the individual who has bought and paid for them with his hard earned money. Suspenders may belong to the Tabor union and knock off work sooner than expected. but at least they show up daily, when the dressiI~, hour arrives, the worse for wear maybe but there! To ascertain whereabouts a man doesn't have to humble himself and go crawling about on the floor on his ''all fours' looking hopelessly under this ar- ticle of furniture and then under that, While the nasty little old thing is prob- ably grinning at him from some perfectly unexpected but obvious corner.
 It matters not what sort of collar but tons they be- whether mean and mon- grel bone or Jewe1ed 1S-karat gold or pure pewter, they are all born of the same gypsy ancestry or next of kin to the pro- verbal rolling stone and inherit it's char acteristics to a marked degree.
 Men of ancient lore, men learned re- garding transmigration of souls and bodies, have been known to express the firm belief that the original tramp was collar button, and that the wander lust' still remains a strong attribute in Its makeup.
 Then there's the umbrella; it's a globe trotter,' if ever there was one; the rock

Tn answer to Herbert IFS query. the expression occurs in Book V, chapter b, of the Works of Francois Rabelais' Q4s3- 153S, as We have other fish to fry The Quixote, part ,. chapter B. as I have ether fish to fry. It would seem that the saying originated with Rabelais, inas- much as it is found in his works, which were written before the birth of Ger vantes. It will be noticed that Rabelais used we instead of T to begin the phrase. I trust that the above informa- ton will be satisfactory to Herbert H.

Easy Way to Peel Peaches

Here is a suggestion that may help the busy housewife: Boiling water poured over peaches and oranges and allowed to stand in it for five minutes will cause the skin to come off quickly. Place on the ice immediately and the peaches will not darlen as quickly as when this is not done, and they must be cut up before serving. The white lining of the orange will come away clean and many oranges may be sliced quickly for dessert.
