Thomas IL. Davis for many years was

parcntly as cool rs n sherry cobhlcr in

the top and bottom so boldly that some
of the b]ystandcrs took pity on Gaylord,
and, taking HIM one side, gave him a

say, but would not be convinced but
that his partner was - dead square
man.

Gaylord.

by Gaylord being $4,000 loser.

THE WONDER BALL.
An Ingenious Manner OF Making ChIhs'
mas Gifts Continue Their Interest.

as the season for gift making draws
near ingenuity in that direction will no
doubt bring forth a host of novelties.
which the eager feminine mind will be
quick to grasp. One called the wonder
BALI is already rolling on its way. This
Is Of German origin, rs the motive con
nected with it will show, for, us a pco.
pie, the Germans, more than any other,
invest the commo affairs of life with an
atmosphere Of sentiment.
Tho wonder ball is a form Of gift
many gifts in one. The friends Of tho
one who is to receive it arc in amiable
cahoots together, and by their united eff
forts it is produced. An amount Of
bright wool is bought, say enough for a
shoulder shawl, or even for an afghan.
The gifts, which should be Of small bulk,
arc wrapped in paper, with the givcr's
name, a note, or any other personal re-
membrancc affixed, and then the yarn is
wound about until il is covered, when
another is added and the same process
repeated.
This goes on until all the gifts arc in
cludcd in the package, one at a time,
each interviewer with its conccaling web
of threads.
Now comes the charml The receiver
is requested to knit from that ball or to
crochet any article they may choose to
TX upon, and not by any chance to I'M
wind the yarn only so fast rs The work
progresses. 1t is like undoing q long
Christmas stocking with presents in it
down to the very toe.
And see what u stimulus to industry.
Curiosity will grow stronger as each gift
appears, and the work IL pretty certain
to be swift and soon completed.
Here is an example of one wonder ball.
A lady had a birthday, and her friends
decided to give a handsome work basket
and its furniture. German knitting yarn
was bought for II skirt-two colorS, four
hanks Of blue ard two of pink. This of
itself would make q huge ball, but in
separate packets were i~ncloscd athimblc,
a case of scissors, an elaborate assert
nent of needles, needle leaves, q spool,
box, spOols of every number and color of
thread and silk, an emery strawberry, u
tape measure. and other triilcs. These
were intcrwound until the ball was of
formidable proportions.
Then it was presented in the basket
and the lady given to understand she was
to work herself into a knowledge of her
presents or to remain in ignorance. Al
lowing for this work only such chance
minutes of leisure rs a busy woman can
snatch from more pressing duties, i,
would take a month to get at the hear,
of that wonder ball.

The Constitutional Amendments.


Heartily concurring with Mr.. Uoar's
amendment rs to a change of Inauguration
day and with Mr.. Grains excellent propo
silion to reform u present Congressional
election system, 1t is TO be hoped that no
prolonged contention will stand in the way
of their adoption. With Slight changes
they can be c~onjoincd in one amendment
that will be certain to meet popular an.
proval, and do away with many serious
objections to existing methods. The critic
would suggest that Mr.. Hoar's amendment
as TO the day of Inauguration he accepted
without application to the commencement
81 expiration of the terms of members of
the House, and Mr.. Grains accepted as to
changing the date Of expiration from
March 4 to December 81. Such an amend
mcnt being agreed upon and ratified prior
to March 4, 1889, the Congress elected in
November next would begin its official OK.
istcnce on the last Tuesday in April, 1880.
and December 81, 1890. Thereafter there
would be no irregularity in the series. The
Congress elected in November, 1890, would
extend from December, 81, 1890, to Dcccm
Der 81, 1892; the Congress of 1892 from
December 81, 1892, to December 81, 1891,

THE operation Of tracheotomy, recently
performed on the Crown Prince of Ger
many, Is not directed to the cure of his
malady, but is simply a measure of relief.
The tumor or inflammation within his
iarynX had so increased as to obstruct res.
piration, and an artificial OPENING wns
therefore made in his w~indpipe, as Is ftcn
done In The case of children with mcmbran.
Gus Group, and n tube inserted in this opcn.
ing admits air to the lungs. OF course this
has no effect upon the diseased organ. In
case of acute disease, trachcotomy hllows
time for recovery; in the Crown Princes
case 1t will prolong his life, which must
otherwise have ended by sufTocation, but
the course of the disease within the jarvny
will probably be neither fastened nor re-,
tarded by the operation. He may live In
this way for months, under favorable con.
ditions, but there seems little ground for
hope of any but a fatal result at last.
