StNicholas [serial] . THE LITTLE PIG AND TROUGH. holes in the under side of the shell (Fig. 18).Make his snout, ears, tail, and legs of writing-paper. Twist a small square of the paper into acornucopia (H,Fig. 17). Paste the edges, then cut itoff according to the dotted lines at top and bot-tom. Now you have a cone open at both the large end of the cone and cut it in laps,one lap at the top and one on either side, like I,Figure 17. Bend the laps out and draw two eyeson the head. Cut two ears, like J, Figure 17, andcurl a strip of paper like K for the tail, thenmake four short lighter

Cut two ears, like J, Figure 17, andcurl a strip of paper like K for the tail, thenmake four short lighters and cut them off at topand bottom for the legs (L, Fig. 17). Push thefour legs in the holes made for them, adding alittle glue to the edges of the holes to keep the. DETAILS OF THE PIG AND .TROUGH. legs steady. Glue the snout on the large end ofthe shell and the ears quite near it. Pinch eachear to bring its edges partially together (Fig. 20),then glue the tail on the small end of the shell. Use the lengthwise half of an egg-shell for thefeeding-trough. Glue a narrow strip of paper along the middle on the outside of the shell andturn out the ends (Fig. 19). Cut down a visit-ing-card to one and a half inches in width, bendup the ends evenly and cut each top edge in acurve to fit the shell, set the shell in the rack, sothat each end rests in its curve, and paste theends of the paper strip to the inside of the up-rights (Fig. 21). EGG-SHELL FLOWERS Here is a new, pretty, and interesting experimentwith egg-shells. Any shells not too much brokenmay be utilized in this way. Those left from thebreakfast-table will do as well as fresh the shells perfectly clean and dry them,then fill a small bowl with vinegar and put asmany shells in the bowl as
