I worked at it in the States and here in the city. I trimmed hats for Brother Heywobd and my brother. I think a trade is a good help for either sex, by this means I helped to support myself and children while my husband was on his various missions sounding the Gospel trump to the nations.

Now I do not know of anything- that rdeases me more than reading: about the "Children's Fair" in the Exponent, and I feel like praising them for their noble efforts of industry, although I am behind time in so doing, but I have not lorgotten what I have read about their I i ttle specified articles. Methinks I see their little finrrers turniner and trvinc to fit everything to its place, and their young minds active in forming something new: for each coming fair.7 How nice and good this is of them to respond to the call of those who are trying to teach them the principles of industry. Da not one of you little boys and girl3 neglect to take an active part in each coming fair where you live, you can all do something. I will make a few suggestions to awaken a interest" at -- in boys while young. learnrngtrades7 and-thHave any of you made pottery-ware- ? Little and for cups, plates, saucers, pitchers your jars little sisters to, put in their play houses. -- Now, I will try to tell you how to make pottery ware, if I have not forgotten the process. My father was a potter, and when I was a child I have stood by and looked on to see the lump of useless clay made into things of all shapes and kinds for domestic, use. Our loaf sugar was first made in clay molds of various sizes, these I have seen made and warehouses full of them before shipment. Thousands of dollars have been made by their manufacture. I promised to tell how these things were made, we will work on a small scale. Get some good clay, make it fine by hammering it on a board with a mallet; make a bench a yard long and a half yard wide, with a hole in the centre to place an upright through, on this put a wheel there must be something at the. bottom f)lat, a small spinning wheel arrangement to move the wheel around with the feet. Make a highT stool to sit on, put a basin of water on tW bench to wet your hands and the clay, have a piece of thin wire, put a piece of clay the size of an orange on the wheel, wet - . the clayjind3vheel-beforo-putting-iton,-wet-yo- ur hands, now turn the wheel quickly, put both hands around the clay and form it bulging in the middle, place your finger in tho centre to "make a hole, then use both hands to draw out until your flower pot is made, take the wire with both hands and carry it under the pot, this cuts it off the wheel, place it on a board toltiffen and dry, bake it in an oven. The potter can make any shaped vessel out of clay on the wheel when in motion with his madef . -b- " ' - . Heat a kettle full of water. .Take a smooth oard-and nail-it-o- n a-et- make-th- e and, . two" front legs shortest so that, the water can run ihto the kettle, make a proper heighFto stand by. Get skins of animals and pluck out the coarse hair, put this by itself, then pluck out the fine, using a knife for this purpose. Take the coarse and dip in the hot water, it will ; begin to cling and pull together, then commence to stretch and roll the piece up, freely dipping in the .hot water, stretch tho cloth ' in a round piece, make a round block of wood large enough for a doll's hat, while wet pull it over the block" and leave a piece for the brim, turn down with the block inside with the brini on the board, and let it dry in shape. You can leave it the natural color or. dye it black. This is what is called the fulling process. Now try, boys, and make a doll's hat for the fair. To be continued to the little girls.- - Mary Ann Pratt. Madame Rudersdorff, who recently died, was a most entertaining woman, in addition to being a thorough - musician. The stories of her life are full of interest. She was a great favorite with the Princess Royal of England, who is" now. the Crown Princess of Prussia. Shortly after the marriage of the Princess, JMadame Rudersdorff sang at a Court concert at Berlin, and was invited by the Crown Princess to breakfast with her. They breakfasted Jogether informally, and, afterwards madame sang several songs of Handel's theTrin cess's favorite composer, her Royal hostess playing her accompaniments. After a while the Princess proposed a visit to the nursery. As madame was sitting on the her watch chain, another hanging over her shoulder, and the babyJnherarmsrthe-doo- r openedTand the" Cro wn Prince walked'inrhd Prineis Tr6e and introduced her. visitor. Madame looked pp, and, with her ready tact and wit, said, "Your Royal Highness, I must either disregard Court etiquette or drop the baby?'
