ODD ENTERTAINMENTS.
From Turkish Bath Parties to Games OF
Quotations from Authors.

From Turkish Bath Parties to Games of
Quotations from Authors.
1t is a merry dance that Fashion leads
us with her capricious fads and fancies.
Now it is in the method of shaking
hands, and then it is the religious fol-
lowing after each other in the matter
of amusements. We take, says the
! New York Sun, to amateur acting and
are devoted to Summing. We go in for
skirt dancing or Salvation Army work
Just as the mischievous will-o-the-wisp
leads us. The latest freak is for Turk
ish bath parties, where one woman Sc
cures the baths and invites all her
friends to come and be clean. The
gentlemen join the party when the
curls are all in order again, and the
affair winds up with supper, where
the ladies, with their glowing faces
and bright eyes, wait and wonder
where and when the things will ever
be ready to eat. There is something
unique in this bath party idea when
one gets accustomed to it and under
stands that ones hostess doesn't at all
mean by her invitation that her guests
are remiss in the matter of ablution,
but that they viii enjoy the bath sole
ly for its luxuriousness. And if this
form of entertainment lacks the attri-
butte of godliness, it may claim that
which lies nearest it-cleanliness.
Another kind of party also much in
vogue with women just now is fad
party 1t usually takes the form of
luncheon, where everything is rose col
ored and tied up with bows. And
every woman is obliged to confess her
pet fad, which, when it has made its
blushing bow in conscious modesty, is
toasted and talked over Then there
is the literature party, in which the
woman's club dame or the Chautauqua
circle girl revels 1t is played some
thing ON the principle of progressive
euchre, only that the guests find at one
table four sets of PARTIAL y-written
quotations, which they are required to
fill out; at another names of books,
whose authors are inquired for; at an
other pseudonyms to be assorted among
the rightful people. This game isvery
exciting to the Philadelphia and Bos-
ton suburbs girl, the prizes being
books. OF course, some of the DANES
who went to the Browning readings at
Sherry's this year in diamonds and vel
vets, and at the conclusion of the
course when request Browning pro-
gramme" was offered, called for Rock
Me to Sleep, Mother, and The Cur
few Shall Not Ring Tonight, mightn't
see the hilarity in such form of diver
sion, but the woman to whom the en-
tertainment appeals can't sleep nights
for thinking of it.

fellows story. The shell had exploded
in close proximity to the court, but the
accused was the only one who had suf

perate shock of the nerves. Every mem

whose order he was being tried. 1t was

the captain of his company for duty.

Turks Do Not Love tho Premier.

The Turkish government has set up
a new literary standard which is likely
to prove troublesome to travellers in
that country. The hand of the censor
has been raised against that delight
full old "Tartarian" of Daudet and
against all biographers of the Grand
Old Man. 1t seems that the hero of
Tarascon wearing fez which adorned
the cover of the Frenchman's book sub
iccted that to condemnation, while the
official dislike to the latter kind of
literature was brought out at con-
ference of the British embassy at Con-
stantinople in behalf of an American
bishop. The British envoy was anxious
that the bishop should be set at liberty,
and said that there was no case against
him. WHAT no case?" said the Turk
ish official. what do you say to this
evidence Of guilt2" And he thereupon
produced life of Mr.. Gladstone which
had been found in the possession Of the
unfortunate bishop.

AWAY. Boil NIIIk.

The better the control of milk sup
plies the less will disease prevail; this
is especially true of tubercular disease.
Sanitary work is woefully neglected in
the milk line, and until better ways
are provided for protecting the con
sumers of milk from infection, every
housekeeper should make an effort to
save the family from illness by boiling
all milk before using it for any pur-
pose To save time and work, this
should be done after the fresh milk is
brought each morning. Boil the whole
quantity purchased, and for that day
there will be no danger from milk.
Many persons object to the flavor of
boiled milk, but they win find after
using it for several days the distaste
for it will resolve itself into real fond
ness for it. This is especially true if
the milk is taken piping hot. Nobody
can say that the spread of diphtheria
this past winter was the result of hui
man contagion alone-some infection
may have come from cows through the
milk There is no denying that milk
IN a crude state is at all times unfit for
food. boston Globe.

his release ut the expense Of frightful
laceration OF his hand, which was almost
cut in two.
Hoggbind was feeding tho saw when the
accident happened. An escape Of steam
from tho boiler attracted his attention.
