On dipping into soapsuds and taking out by third thread attached to the upper needle the rectangle becomes filled with transparent film like a pane of glass, A fourth thread attached to the up- right threads will be imbedded In the film mm any position in which it may a in ENDLESS THALAD THROWN AN LOOSELY § Ar \ hn.

But if the film is bro- ken below this thread it will be pulled up into a circular arch by the tension of the contracting film above The single arch may be changed to a double arch by pulling on a fifth thread attached to the middle of the fourth, but the latter will fly back to the form of the single arch if allowed to do so. An endless thread dropped on the soap film formed across a wire ring will lie in the position in which it falls until the film is pricked inside of the at once becomes an exact circle.—~New York World. loop, when It Schoolboys Who Never Play. Broadly speaking, German school boys never play. They have no time to do so. They attend day schools forlorn of playgrounds and are so desperately overwelighted with lessons that all their spare-energy and vitality is used up in the endeavor to get through the work diurnally allotted to them. They really have no opportunity from the com mencement of the term to its close for running or jumping, playing at ball or marbles, paper chases or any of the other amusements to which Eng- lish schoolboys, as a rule, devote them- selves with an eager assidulity seldom displayed In the dry and thorny pursuit of knowledge When a German boy exhibits symp- toms of exhaustion and debility, caused by overwork, his parents enter him at a gymnastic institution and compel him to attend or two evening courses of “scientific calisthenics.” very possibly at the expense of his po sition In his class at “Tur- nerel,” however, is not presented to him in the light of play, but down right hard physical work, which may be productive of development to his muscle and benefit to his general health without affording him any keen sense of recreation.— London Society. school one school A Trip Around the World, Did you ever play the game called trip around the world? It is the very thing for a children’s party. Each player should be provided with a small notebook and a pencil. Blank dance cards, with the tiny colored pencils at- tached, are pretty for this purpose The leaves should be numbered to cor- respond with various articles distribut ed about the room. The game Is then to guess the country or city designated by each of these articles. A tiny jar of cold cream stands for Greece, a min lature pot of baked beans for Boston, | a bottle of perfume for Cologne, a of gar for Havana, ete. The guesses should not be made too difficult, but Just enough so to brush up the memo- ries of laggard geographers. should be awarded to those who secure the greatest number of correct an swenrs, The HII of Cellar Door. I know a hill not far away Where children always love to play. The hill is straight and smooth and low; For little folks ‘tis better so. The coasting there Is very nice, Without the cold of snow and los; You slide in summer, fali or spring, But need not bother sleds to bring. It is the safest hill I've found: Bometimes you tumble to the ground, But "tis not far you have to fall And would not hurt a child at all It's very near your home, and 90 Your mother ‘Il always let you go. For then she knows you're right near by And she can hear you If yoy ory. Bo up you scramble, down you slide, And, oh, you have a Jolly ride! You always want to play some more Upon the hill of Cellar Door! ~Washington Star. A Simple Experiment. A neat little experiment In electricity is to soak half a sheet of stout fools ap paper In water, drying it rapidly before a fire, spreading It while warm on a varnished table or dry woolen cloth and then rubbing the surface sharply with a plece of India rubber.

If the day Is dull, bang the piece before a grate fire Scorched spots that are very bad and yet have not consumed the fiber of the goods are sald to be restorable by re peated dipping in a saturated solution of borax. The saturated the chemists call it, consists of as much salt or crystal as the water will solve. It is always safe to put in a lit tle extra. If the borax stands undis tuarbed in the bottom of the bottle. one is sure of the full strength solution Repeated dippings of this, with expo sure to sun or fire light, will what are by most housekeepers consid ered hopeless discolorations housewife is not solution, as dis remove Sunshiny Women, There is a charm which compensates 80 much for the lack of good looks that they are never missed, and when com bined with good looks it doubly en hances them. The name of this charm Is a sunshiny disposition. If things go wrong, as they will go once in awhile, does it mend matters to ery over them? Sensible women will say no, but wom know how to control “You, better after it.” it does me good to cry. 1 feel | There are times when tears must come, but these are beautiful, holy tears Quite the contrary are the tears shed over selfish, petty annoyances “to re lleve nerves” The grandest quality of the human mind Is self control. Why? Because it is the mastery of the soul's divine nature over the body's | human nature and therefore imparts that nobleness to the mind from which beauty gains its soul. Broom For Woodwork.

Avoid seams across bottom by holding the pelt and marking the pat tern. Overcast the seams with strong thread. After first seam turn the case, sew the second seam from inside and when finished pull over the broom. Fasten by wrapping around the han- die. If you wish dry or damp cloths, tie them around the broom. When cleaning the case, let it remain on the broom. Use plenty of soap and water, ~ Exchange. Dusting. It Is no use whatever to dust with a feather duster If the object In view Is really the removal of dust. The feath- ers merely scatter fine particles abroad, which would be much less injurious if permitted to remain on the original articles. Always employ a soft cloth, shaking it at frequent intervals.
