Arrooos for Your Boe0.

a RRows are made from round bowels
straight-grained wood about "a Of an inch
in diameter and from 16 to 20 inches long.
Cut a notch in the back end and then glue two
or three bits Of feathers to the rod three inches
ahead Of the back end ANY quill feather will
do. Split off one side from the main stem with
a razor blade and glue this In an upright posi-
ton. Later trim of the edges to make each
portion the same size. The heads Of the
arrows can be made in a number of ways.
One excellent type consists Of an inch-length
of brass or copper tubing cut with a hack saw,
then filed so that the four prongs are leaf
shaped, and, when gradually brought together
to meet they viii form a rough, conical point.
When the seams have been closed, the point is
heated and solder put into the head from the
inside to nh not quite half Of the tube. Be
sure to use fiux (h you use self fiuxing, wire
solder, the huxing is automatically done) to
make perfect bond between the brass and
the solder. You now have q solid head, which
can be finished by turning lightly against o
grinding wheel to true up.
Five types Of axrowheads are shown in the
illustration As boy, preferred the type
shown at the top. Ny uncle used a $3.50 rife
and the brass shells which he would bring
home after q trip afield were just the thing
for blunt arrowheads. The reduced portion
was sawed on, leaving the portion shown This
was driven to tight fit over the end Of the
arrow. I once succeeded in shooting this blunt
arrow through . half inch Of soft pine. How
ever, the blunt arrow Is safer than the pointed
kind, although It viii not stick to O target. It
seems to have Just the right amount of weight
IN front and viii carry very well in fight.
The next Is a hunting arrowhead, the point
being three-cornered piece Of heavy sheet
steel fitted in o notch made by a single saw
cut in the head Of the arrow and fastened
with one rivet. The two edges can be sharp
ened If you wish. The middle head is modi-
fication Of the one at the top, but here the
printing cap has been punched out to leave
room for half q nail, which is driven tightly
into the head Of the arrow after the shell has
been driven ON. Then the protrudng point
Is sharpened. You can prevent overweight by
using less Of the brass shell and this will stick
into any wood or other soft material and tell
just where you have hit.
The special metal tip head next shown is
manufactured for the purpose and can be
obtained from any firm dealing in bows and
arrows. 1t can be driven to q f1t or set by
pricking with marking punch. The bottom

Fairy Fidget at Work.

Fairy fdget crawled out from behind the
school room clock where he had been taking
a nap. He yawned and looked around the
room. The pupils all sat quietly listening to
the teachers voice as it ran on and on. She
was reading what seemed to Fairy Fidget a
very dry story.
How tiresomel" Fidget grumbled. "I should
think the teacher would like little excitement.
I know would. No one here looks as If he
had ever heard Of me before. I'll show them
who am" He jumped up on the clock and
danced lively jig to see If he couldn't stir
up some excitement.
Two of the students shifted their positions
and looked up at the clock. Immediately they
began shutting their feet and moving their
hands, unconSciouSly keeping time to the
rhythm of Fairy Fidgets dance.
But don't think for a moment that Fairy
Fidget was satisfied with this. He was a very
spoiled fairy and would not be satisfied until
he had the whole school following every move.
He quickly hoped down from the clock and
set to work in earnest. First he jumped up
on teachers desk. Right under her nose he
did the Highland Fling and then went through
his Setting-up exercises
Then from desk to desk he hoped. He
stood on his head on one desk, turned all sorts
OF hiphopS on the next and bounced up and
down after that. There wasn't anything In the
world that Fairy Fidget couldn't do. He was
never still q minute
Now after Fairy Fidget had danced all over
the room there wasn't a boy or girl who was
sitting still Such a racket as there was in
that school roomi Even the teacher could
scarcely hear herself read
Fairy Fidget chuckled to himself. This is
more like it." he laughed. "I surely do like
excitement"
At last the teacher closed her book with q
sigh. my, but you children do have the idgets
badly today" she said.
Fairy Fidget did a fancy dive behind the
clock. His work was done in that room; he'd
move on to the next one.

into the night to destroy these allies they failed
and were driven off the field.
We call it decisive battle because it ended
over 20 years of continual warfare, drove Ma
poleon into exile and remade most of the map
of Europe. 1t gave Europe peace again after
a series of wars that lasted as long as some
men could remember.
Because of the Importance of this battle
many monuments are placed all over the bat
tIefield, but the largest of them all is that
called the Mound of the Lion. 1t was built of
earth taken from the battlefields and carried
in baskets Two hundred feet high it is and
on its very summit there stands an immense
bronze lion weighing "a TONS
One can ascend to the very top of the mound
and look for many miles over the old battle
field of Waterloo. It is quiet now, scene OF
lovely farms and fruitful orchards, but it was
lis years ago a scene of death and fire and
of human agony.

Mind-Reading Is Simple.

Thought-reading stunts are always fun and
sometimes they are very mystifying. The one
we are going to tell you about this week is
simple as can be, but it may keep your audience
guessing if it is cleverly done.
Suppose that Tom and Edna are going to
perform the stunt, Tom being the mind-reader
and Edna his partner. Tom leaves the room
and Edna tells the others to decide on any
number Of three figures. Let us say that S24
is chosen. The number is written on a piece
of paper and handed to Edna, who must know
what 1t Is so that Tom can "read her mind"
Now, Tom returns to the room. Edna says
to him, can right, Tom, can you guess the
number"
Tom gives evidence Of great mental effort.

to make one.

go ahead" says Edna
1.-THE second figure is two" says Tom, after
a great deal of more serious thinking
"And the last number" says Edna hope
fully
-Four" replies the great mind-reader at last.
1.-THE whole number is 824."
Can you guess how this is done? If not, just
notice that there are eight words in Edna's
first remark to Tom. This told him the first
number was eight. In the same way, her
second remark had two words and her third
four. If one of the numbers had been zero
she would have coughed or given some other
signal.
With a little practice this stunt can be done
so well that the partner will never pick the
wrong number of words.

then get either few very artistic picture pest
cards or a picture from some magazine. Paste
then very neatly all over the fan till you have
one side entirely covered by the pictures.
Next get some very narrow gold or silver
braid, tack it with needle all over the face
of the pictures about an inch apart, then get
some ribbon and wind on to the handle of the
fan in puttee fashion The finished result will
astonish you," concluded the teacher.
That's a great idea and really will make
most decorative novelty to hang on the wall,
almost like picture" said one of the members.

1t was near this place that Napoleon, the
Emperor of the French, and his great army
met his enemies for the last time. Napoleon
had been making war for 20 years on every
country in Europe. From Egypt in the east to
Belgium and Holland in the west the French
soldiers had conquered almost continuously,
and the name of their great commander, Ma
poleon Bonaparte, was feared by all. But
on June 10, 1915, he met his enemies again and

Countess de ChGmbrun
To Publish Book Here

OF interest to Washington is
the announcement that the new
book Of the Countess de Cham
brun, the gifted sister Of the
Speaker Of the House. Nicholas
Longworth. is shortly to be
published in this country.
To those who are familiar
with the writing Of the former
Clara Longworth it is needless
to add that the work deals with
a Shakespearean subject. The
Countess is an ardent student
Of the Bard of Avon and is
credited in part with the recent
revival Of interest in Paris in
Shakespeare and Shakespearean
plays. The new book is on
Hamlet and viii be published
by the same house sponsoring
her earlier work. Shakespeare:
Actor-Poet.' for which she re
ceiyed a prize from the French
Academy of Letters.
Has Left Paris
Countess de Chambrun is the
wife of the commanding gen
eral of Fez and conqueror Of
the Riffs. Recently she and
her husband, Gen. Count Adel-
bert de Chambrln, have been
making their home in Paris
but a few weeks ago they de-
serted the French capital for
their picturesque chateau In the
mountains Of Morocco, where
they will remain until late sum
mer.
Shortly before their depar-
ture they were hosts at a re
ception to a large group Of
Shakesoearean scholars in
Paris when the countess new
book was the object Of discus
sion. The book deals with the
Gallo origin of the gloomy
Dane and is alleged to lend
a new light on his changing
character.

reached the opera house to find things seething
with suppressed excitement People tiptoed
about and talked in whispers. / began TO get
q creepy feeling. The mirror in my dressing
room reflected scared face. One moment
wanted to sing, the next I was afraid to. It
was new sensation to me-
once ON the stage and singing fright began
to leave me. AS my eyes grew used to the
footlights saw that the royal box and those
on either side Of it were empty. An those
kings. queens and princes and princesses had
not yet arrived. Somehow that gave me fresh
assurance. The whole place seemed biOssoming
with lovely women, superbly costumed and be-
jeweled: mems uniforms glittered with gold
and their breasts with many decorations. Never
had seen such gorgeous picture. But there
was not an atom of applause. Royal etiquette
forbade it, So in silence the creakng curtain
fell Another new and most uncomfortable
sensation seized me.
Early in the second act there came from
without the roar Of cheering. Fun power OF
the electric lights was switched on. The place
giowed IN reaplendent blaze. Royalty en-
cheers. Prince Humbert and Princess Marie
Jose looked beamingiy happy. The orchestra
played Belgium's national 'sBFabanconne," then
Tta1y's "Marche Reale." Again we went ON
with the opera. again the curtain fen without
applause. And 50 It was when the performance
ended
Depressed, hurried TO my dressing room.
A whole evening and not an atom Of applause.
It had been like sitting down at banquet table
decked with gold plate and no food on it. II
you are used 70 applause, encores, curtain calls
and sing for the first time whole evening with
nothing but suppressed murmurs Of apprecia-
ton you win understand.
AS hurried into my street clothes, glad b
get away, knock came ct the door. The vice
secretary Of the Fascist party entered. He
said: His Majesty sends you the decoration
Of the Order Of Mauriziano." It was one Of
Italy's highest honors, bringing royalty the ap-
plause had missed.
