A little ejaculation may some
times express Hs much annoyance
as can DO put into words. The
following story is told of the wife
of one Of the best known OF Amer
can poets: She was in her room
when some people came 10 call.
Her husband received the company
and after awhile said to his daugh-
ter, who was playing about the
room:
"Go up stairs and tell your
mamma that Mr.. and Mrs. B. are
here TO call"
The child went, and after awhile
returned and began to play once
more.

and Mrs. b are AereT asked
the father
"Oh, yes"
"AAd what did size say?'
The little girl looked up, aud
sitter a moments hesitation ex-
claimed;
"She said, d,-well, she said; oh,
deasg "

In this game the first player IS placed
In the center of the room and blindfold-
ed. But before he Is blindfolded he Is
told to look all about him and notice all
the things in the room.
After the handkerchief Is tied over his
eyes he is told to turn around once and
then TO say aloud what he expects to
touch by walking straight forward with
his hands outstretched. OF course it is
great fun to see him go and touch the
table after he had said he expected to
touch the rocking chair.
he may 'loolr" and then be blind
folded again. he may try three times
to touch objects, turning around Of
course each time.
Each little player in turn has three
'tries."
After ah have tried, II It is a party,
there is GENERALLY little tray of cakes
brought in, and those players who have
touched the objects are expected to havo
all frosted cakes full Of plums. Tho
others have little plain cakes.
Most grown people would get little
plain cakes.-Annie l. Willis in New

in the direction Of Ivanhoe has a koss
snake charmer in the shape Of bare

The youngster makes excursions into
the country for the purpose Of acquiring

When Mrs. Harrison reigned In
the White House, she was devoted
to china painting, and beholdl it
became the rage. AIT schools
without number sprang up and
Houtished, royal Worcester and
Dresden ornaments decorated
every nook and corner, and every
woman Of pretensions painted q
dinner or tee set. But the old or
der ohangeth. Mrs. Cleveland
teins, and she is crazed about sofa
pillows. She has scores of them
in the private abartments of the
executive mansion, and now, of
course, society is making pillows.
They are plain, some black, some
white, some golden; they are en-
broirdered in fantastic designs
they are found, square, oblong;- -
they are piled on cOuches, heaped
on window sills, thrown in the
corners. Mak5 them as you will,
arrange to your own convenience
but have them by the hundreds or
your house will be back number.
And the consoling feature is, they
are simply ornaments, not to rest
the weary head nor to support the
aching feet. A case of "water,

Pen Names.

Many women have taken the
names of men, not because of any
desire to be known As men, but
that their work might be criticis-
ed without allowance being made
for the sex Of the writer. In only
a few instances have men taken
the names of women. The most
famous Of such pseudonyms was
"Mrs. Partington," who in private
life was B. P. Shillaber. Benia-
min Franklin was at one time in
print as Mrs. Silence DoguOdI
Theodore Edward Hook was ''Mrs.
Ramsbotham"; Douglas Jerrold
was 'fMrs. Csudle" ;AlphOnse Dau-
det sometimes signed his work
"Marie Gaston."
The women who have climbed
to fame with the assistance of a
masculine pen name are more nu-
1nerous. Nine. Dudevant was
George Sand" Marion Evans
L. Cross was George Eliot
Mary N. Murfree was "Charles
Egbert Craddock." Olive Schrei-
nsr was Ralph Iron. Mrs. Hen
rietta E. v. Stannard, author Of
"Bootles' Baby" is "John Strange

Henry Greville" is Alice @. Du-

Some of the most famous writ
ers have distributed the credit Of
their work over many names be-
fore attaining the fame which led
them to appear In their family
names. Thackeray was prolific in
pen names, they being entirely too
numerous to mention. Charles

slumber Song.

Rock ably lullaby, brides IN treetops
Now are closing their tiny bright eyes,
Softly the mother birds hush them TO slumber,
While the red rays fade from the western
skies;
Then rock-a-by, lullaby, rock-a-by.
Rock ably, lula by, the wee downy chickens
Cuddle up close meath their fond mothers
wings:
Deep is the nest quiet their slumbers;
Dark are the shadows the Old moon filings.
Then rock-a-oy, lullaby, rock-a-by
Rock-a-by, lullaby, baby, my darling,
You, too, must now close your sleepy blne
eyes,
Mother Will guard thee, peacefully slumber
TIL the sunrise brightens the eastern skies
Then rock-a-by, lullaby, rock ABBY.
