How You May Make This Glowing Lamp With Barned Matches, When you burk a wooden match, you find that there remains a little quanti. ty of white ashes, which reddens with great ease if you blow on it. Fix some of these ashes on the points of four or- dinary pens and attach them around an ordinary cork plerced in the center by a hole If you find any difficulty in making the ashes stick to the points of the pens, stick half a match on each pen = qa 4 THE MATCH LAMP point and let each match burn down. Carefully place the cork thus equipped on a little lamp filled with mineral oll, | so that the wick of the lamp passes through the hole in the cork Now light the lamp and keep wick well lowered, so that it gives only an almost imperceptible blue and you will the ashes or the matches, by Ineandescence, take on a magnificent and for a the light that of the ordinary electri he blush, will be almost lamp To Make an Eollan Harp. can be made by al It consists of This Instrument most any ingenious boy a long about five narrow box of very thin wood hes de ep, with a circle of the upper side an inch and a half in diameter, in which are to be.drilled small holes.

Tell him then to double it. When he has done that, let him add an even number to it, which you must give him. After doing this he must halve the whole, then from what is left take away the number he first thought of. When this Is completed, If he has count. od correctly, you will be able to give him the exact remainder, which will simply be the half of the even number « Jou told him to add to his own. ——————— The Sleepy Man. “Nurse says the sleepy man Is coming.

Bathe the children in the forenoon If possible; If nét, an hour before the evening meal. Never give a child & bath for at least an hour after eating and never take a child outdoors imme- diately after its bath, Mothers should learn how much sym- pathy means to the child.
