DRAWING A STAR.
Trying It This Way la Said to Ba at
Funny ■ Circua.
When your (larty la net making prog
reus euou^b to suit you try the follow
ing on tUeui: Take a large sheet of
plain p«i>er and draw a tlve or six
pointed stai ou It. Have the star
about ten Inches wide from point to
point Then draw another star on the
outside »f the first one. so that a spare
of about luilf an Inch is left between
the two stars all the way around.
Then provide yourself with a hand
mirror and a book. Place the paper
flat on the table. Put the book end up
oa the aide of the pai>er nearest you.
Take the mirror and place It on the
opposite end of the pajier. Then look
ing Into the mirror yon should be able
to see the whole star. Having pro
vided yourself with a pencil, fix It on
a spot Inside the two lines of the star
and proceed to draw another star on
the Inside the two lines by looking
only at the star through the mirror.
The lx»ok Is simply ased to prevent
your eyes dropping down to the draw
Ing Itself. If your pencil goes outside
the lines or Inside you have lost your
turn.
Try It out and see what you can do
Some say It can be done, and others
say It can't, but whether It can or
can't has little to do with It; It will fur
nlsh enough amusement to keep a
crowd convulsed for an hour.—Cleve
land Dispatch.
What la Good Water?
Good water Is colorless, clear, free
from suspended matter, of brilliant lus
ter and free from smell or taste. Bad
water may sometimes meet all these
specifications and yet be full of germs.
Rainwater Is good; so Is water from
clear Ice or from springs, lakes, large
rivers and streams In uninhabited dis
tricts. Rainwater from polluted sur
faces Is bad; so is the water from snow
Ice. small ponds, streams and wells In
inhabited places. Marah water Is bad.
and streams below twwns are almost
certainly full of germs and sewage.—
