MISS BALLOON 
A little girl, of nine or ten, represents 
this better than any other ago, and when 
well done, it is very amusing to a party of 
children. A grown person lakes a little girl’s 
dress up over her head, and ties it securely 
with a string; (lie skirt must belong to a 
grown person, :i9 a little girl’s dress is too 
short to meet over her head, and ’(is best to 
have a dress that will wash, as the face is 
made of burnt, cork, or charcoal.

CvyMnlizeil Vases. 
I am much obliged to you for your direc¬ 
tions for making vases; but, Sara, I have 
seen paper cases and letter pouches made in a 
number of ways, so please give more explicit 
directions. I have made vases of wire, form¬ 
ing them in something the shape of an hour¬ 
glass-only not so small in the middle—and 
crystalized with alum. Baskets are made 
in the same way. The solution of alum is 
formed of four pounds of alum to every gal¬ 
lon of water. Heat, and immerse the frames 
when the solution is cooling and just warm. 
Be sure to have enough water to cover 
whatever you wish to erystalizc. Vases 
should be set in the dish ; baskets suspended. 
These are only good for artificial flowers of 
all sorts, as they will not contain water. 
About Brackets ami Baskets. 
I have an ingenious brother, who made 
me one of those identical brackets you spoke 
of; but glue is loo brittle for such work, and 
it broke to pieces, What do you use for it? 
1 had a basket given me of this sort of work; 
it is put together with some kind of wax. 
Does any one know how to make it ? Who 
will tell it to us Rural readers. 
A Hair Wrcuili. 
1 have a hair wreath which preserves a 
lock of hair from nearly a hundred of my 
friends’ heads, made tip into roses, lilies, 
daisies, pansies, fuchsias, Ac. 1 got my 
father to make a frame of boards for this, 
with an inner border of gilt. 1 put on an 
out edge of sawed butternuts, and in all the 
corners small cones to resemble the ornaments 
on picture frames. 1 put some white pine 
cones which had been sawed in two in the 
centre of the longest sides, then put on a 
ground work of flax seed. The frame is 
large, and has been greatly admired for its 
simplicity. I have other cone frames with 
more elaborate work, but none as much ad¬ 
mired as this. —Lorktta. 
Premium* for Girls ntul Boys. 
Dear Rural- —Do you give any premi¬ 
ums to Girls or Boys for getting up Clubs 
for the Rural New-Yorker ? If so,please 
inform us how we must proceed in the mat¬ 
ter, as I, for one, desire to try my luck in be¬ 
half of a paper that tells us so many good 
things through 1 he "Youth’s Department.” 
1 am only twelve years old, hut I believe I 
can get up a club of five to ten subscribers if 
I try, —and then, who will not try in behalf 
of our paper?— Jennie. 
—We will answer next week, telling Jen¬ 
nie and other young people what we offer, 
and bow to win the premiums.—[E ds.

ABOUT PROBLEM No. 1 
We have examined Problem No. 1, and its an¬ 
swer in Rural New-Yorker of July 2 and 16, 
and find (according to our figuring) t hat t here is 
a mistake. B. F. Burleson says the estimated 
area of the earth is 49,000,000 square miles, al¬ 
lowing the diameter to be 7,930 miles. Taking 
7,920 miles as the diameter, the area Is 197,041,- 
258.34 square miles. Without taking account of 
the 7,920, and using the 49,000,000 square miles, 
we have lor our answer to the example, 13,050,- 
383 and 12,740,193, Those we have proved to be 
correct. Where he pets his 49,000.000—allowing 
the earth to be 7,920 miles in diarneter-uml bow 
he obtains his answers as published, we cannot 
perceive. We would like to have it explained 
how a triangle, having for its sides 8,000,7111.077, 
and 7577.599 miles, can have an area of 49,000.000 
square miles. s. e. and d. p.
