To light a lamp with a piece of ice Attach a piece of potassium of the size of a small shot to the wick of a lamp; have also ready a piece of ice, with which, when you touch the potassium, the lamp will blaze immediately. To perform the experiment, place the lamp upon the table before the audience. Question the ladies as to what means they generally employ to light their lamps. If they answer in the usual way, you may respond that you know a much better plan.

As I sat watching, his mate hopped in sight from under the hidden roof, and seemed most interested in the building process, to which in the mean time the builder had added bits or wool and straw. Much pleased with his progress, my little friend bopped upon a branch of a maple tree close by and poured forth a short strain. Suddenly a small boy strolled along and, espying the bird, stepped Into the road and gathered a few pebbles. Advancing stealthily, he crept closer to the little songster, and in breathless anxiety I watched him fling the stone. O, happy chance!

The home made calendar Is just now one of the holiday gifts which is In course of manufacture, and certainly there is no gift which is warranted to keep new all the year In the same way that the hand inscribed, calendar Is. To make this calendar it is first essential that 365 no, 366 (for 1904 is leap year) slips of paper be cut of a uniform size three inches wide by four inches long is a fair measurement and then, after having an inked line drawn across one inch from the top edge, they are ready to inscribe. A line in red Ink is suggested. The space above the line is reserved for the date, and may, be added last, just before the slips are mounted into a block and cemented at both sides so that the owner may not anticipate the contents of the various leaves. The leaves are now sent about to the various friends of the one for, whom the calendar is Intended, and each Is invited to inscribe a leaf with an appropriate sentiment, either original or quoted, but In the person's An Autograph cork can walk, and this is the way to bring about that unusual spectacle. Get as large a cork as you can find, and stick side by side in one end a nails. Then get pair of two forks and insert them, one in each side, near the other end of the cork, as shown in the picture. Now get a strip of wood four or five feet long and about two inches v iae, and make an inclined plane of it by piling books or boxes under one end. Place tbe cork on this, standing ir on its nail legs, with one fork hanging down on either side of the strip of wood. Start the fork swinging from side to side, and you will see the cork walk jerkily down the board, little taking ridiculous Steps on its nail legs. d stiff-legge- Can You Spin the Egg Shell? Here is a trick which will surprise the whole family. The next time you eat a boiled egg moisten the rim not merely the edge, but all the raised part of your plate and place the empty egg shell on the wet surface. The shell should be broken off evenly all the way around, so as to form a little cup. Now, If you hold the plate up and tip it slightly, the egg will not merely slide, but spin, along the rim, and ty continually altering the inclination angle of the plate you can make the shell spin all the way around it. I do not mean that it will spin rapidly, like a top, but that as it goes around the plate it also revolves slowly about its own axis in the same direction. Now this, you know, is just what tbe earth does in traveling around the sun, so here you have an easy and pretty lesson in astronomy at the own handwriting. As may be seen, there are daily surprises all during the year for the recipient. One of these autograph calendars is now In process of construction for a young fellow at college, and it is being made by the young girls ot his social set at home. On some of the slips he will find a tiny photograph of the sender. On another a sketch of some significant subject; on another an allusion to uome event In the past, a reminder of an occasion to cause him amusement There la fine opportunity here for the display of originality, and by the time each girl has done her best, the calendar is sure to be filled. This same calendar idea works up beautifully for a birthday gift when it may begin with the birthday, no matter when It comes, and extend through the following year to the next birthday. If it is preferred, the slips of paper. Instead of being mounted on a block and cemented, may be perforated with two round holes at the top and then mounted on the wooden back with wire hooks, tbe same that fids favor on many desks, enabling the owner to examine all at any time. breakfast table.
