What Shall "Touch9"

In thisgame the first player is placed
in the center of the room and blind
folded. 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 out-stretched. OF
course it is great fun to see him 90
and touch the table after he has said
he expected to touch the rocking
chair
He may "lool" 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 all have tried if it is a party
there is generally little tray of cake,
brought in, and those players who
have touched the objects are expected
to have all frosted cakes full of plums
the others have little plain cakes
Most grown people would get littl,

Same Thing,

An Irishman went to a lawyer with
a case, but the attorney wanted a re-
tainer. The Irishman was poor, and
finally the lawyer said he would take
the case on contingent fee. 1t was
settled, says an exchange, but the con-
tingent-fee part of the agreement
bothered the client. He confided his
ignorance to his friend, Paddy, and
asked for an explanation. AN it is
the meanin' of a contingent fee yer
after KNOWN? Sure, I'll tell We. \
contingent fee means that if We lose
the case the lawyer gifts nothin'; if ye
win you git nothin'."

The business Was Stonped.

Catherine had been indulging in a
drink of milk dur ne the night for so
long, that, when about three years of
age and visiting with friends, her
parents decided that her crying and
persistence in wanting the milk, which
was thea so inconvenient to procure,
had become decidedly a nuisance. A
few days later she was left with her
grandparents, while her father and
mother went to New York. Some
plan had been decided upon between
her mamma and grandmamma, by
which the little lady's proclivity for
night imbibing should be abolish.

gone, her grandmamma said: Now,
Catherine, we are going to stop this
milk business and this night business, q
and added few more words emphasiz.
ing the proposed amendment.
All passed serenely, and in about
ten days her mamma returned. She
found her little daughter, with 9
small tin cup of water and a tiny rag
busily occupied in attempts to wash a
porch some thirty feet long by twelve
or fifteen feet wide. On hearing hel
mothers voice, she merely raised her
head from the spot she was so busly
securing, and exclaimed in the mos
cheerful manner: ooh mamma! View,

A Boy and a BurrO.

There is a boy in Newport who
owns burro, which means that this
boy has no time to take a vacation
A burro is a cross between a mule
and jack rabbit and has the qualities
of both under certain circumstances.
Like the latter it can run fast, wear
long ears or stand still in one spot for
a long time. Like mule it goes and
comes at its own pleasure and not ct
anyone else's nod and beck. Its favor
lite amusement is to stop suddenly in
the middle of the street and stand
there while an admiring throng
watch the boy try to startit Itstopped
on Fort Thomas electric car track the
other day, and after beating it until
be was tired the boy got off and tried
to lead it But it braced its legs and
held back bravely. Then he got be-
hind and tried to push. 1t never
changed its position. Then he pushed
first on one side and then on the other,
trying to throw it. 1t only spread its
four legs wide apart like those of a
sadder's horse. Then the boy took
off the bride, thinking it might t.; -
run away, knowing itself to be free.
The burro smiled at this
Then the boy gathered a lot OF
stones and began pelting it. The
burro never flinched. The burrc
laughed and snickered audibly. Then
The boy got a handful of hay
hnd held it temptingly in front
but the burro only nodded his head
and leveled his double barreled head
gear at his master (?). Naturally this
excited the crowd, and many were the
words of encouragement showereC
upon the boy and the sticks and yell;
at the burro, for the boy in a sort Of
public address gave them all leave
at him" Just at this point an electric
car appeared. 1t came spinning up il
the burro's rear, changing it's bel

The White Elephant.

In former days the ceremonies at
tending the capture of a white ele-
plant were very impressive. The dis
coverer, were he the humblest man
in the kingdom, was Immediately
made a mandarin; he was exempted
from taxation for the remainder of
his life, and presented with large
sums of money, the king himself CIV
ing him 81, OOO
As soon as the capture was made,
special courier was dispatched TO the
king, and a posse of mobiles with gifts
and robes started Immediately for the
scene Of action. The ropes that the
captors used in binding the royal vic
tim were replaced By cords of scarlet
silk. Mandarins attended to the
slightest wants of the animal Rich
feather fans with gilt handles were
used to keep the flies from it during
the day, while a silk-embroidered
mosquito net was provided at night.
To remove it to the capital, a boat
vas built expressly for this purpose,
and magnificent canopy was erected
over it, ornamented and bedecked as
were the kings palaces. Silk drap-
cries, heavy with silver and gold, en-.
closed the royal prisoner; and in this
state he floated down the river, re-
ceiying the acclamations of the peo-
pie.
When near the city the animal was
landed, the king and his court going
out to meet him and escort him to the
city, where place had been built
for him within the royal palace
grounds. A large tract of land was
set apart for his country-place, chosen
from the best the kingdom afforded.
A cabinet of ministers was appointed,
and large retinue of mobiles to at
tend to the wants of his elephant
majesty.
The priest Of the king was ap
pointed to see to the elephants spirit
ual needs, and eminent physicians
ministered to his physical require
ments. Gold and silver dishes were
supplied to feed him from, and every
want was attended to as became one
of the royal family. The city devoted
three days to festivities, and the rich
mandarins made it presents of grea
value and rarity California Maya

THE GosLING's REQUEST.
Tho Leaves OF Antnmn.

1t is popularity believed that autumn
leaves assume their brilliant hues
when touched by the frost. This is
an error. Autumn leaves turn red
and yellow and brown, and inter-
mediate tones, because that is the
natural way for leaves to ripen. They
perfect their color just as apples and
peaches do-which are only thicker
leaves.
Petals, or flOwer-leaves, take on
their bright colors in a manner pre-
cisely similar. When a plant is in a
perfectly healthy condition it produces
green leaves. When there is a
deficiency in its vitality there results
a lack Of chlorophyl, or green color
ing-matter. In some species of plants,
at some seasons of the year, this
deficiency is followed by an excess of
colored leaves, which may be, accord
ing to circumstances, what we call
flowers, fruit or autumn leaves.
To be sure, it is contrary to our pre-
conceived ideas to believe that bloom
is form Of degeneration. But we
have long been familiar with the
moral law that there can be no good
without sacrifice Science to-day is
only extending it little further for
us and bringing philosophy down to
the material world
Autumn leaves-green leaves that
have degenerated into crimson and
golden ones-may be found in our
woods as early as July. How could
anyone say that the frost had touched
these before the dOg-days?
After this, think of them as another
form of flower and treat them accord
ingly. By which | mean, arrange
them very much as you would flowers
and don't expect them to last forever.
Why should anyone want to "pre-
serve" autumn leaves after their day
is past? Such attempts are seldom
satisfactory. Very few leaves are
worth pressing. The. scarlet maple
and the upland sumach are about the
only varieties that will keep theil
color.
If you must press autumn leaves
don't, l beg of you, put them in books
Any book, however poor, is likely t
be worth more than all the leaves il
can hold, and even one leaf may seri
ously deface a good book A bette
way-for the leaves as well as tn,
books-is to spread the leaves be
tween layers of newspapers, placing
board and a weight on top of the pile
Open and change the papers occasion
ally to permit the circulation of air
A similar method is good for pressing
botanical specimens that are to b
; mounted and labeled.
Among the most beautiful varietie
! of autumnal foliage are the scarle
and yellow naples, the crimson, ma
: room and brown oaks, the brown
ranging from russell to mahogan,
: color; the yellow and brown beeche
and chestnuts, crimson gums, yellow
! and orange walnuts, poplars an
, tulips scarlet, crimson and golde
sumachs, vermillion and yellow dog
woods, crimson huckleberry, black
berry, strawberry and wild geraniur
leaves, yellow grape leaves and cai

Bottling Tears.

The custom of bottling tears IS pc
euliar to the people of Persia. There
it constitutes an important part of the
obsequies Of the dead. As the mourn.
ers are sitting round and weeping, the
master Of the ceremonies presents each
one with a piece of cotton. wool or
sponge with which to wipe away the
tears. This cotton, wool or sponge is af-
terward squeezed into bottle, and the
tears are preserved as powerful and
eficacious restorative for those whom
every other medicine has failed TO re.
vive. 1t is to this custom that allusion
is made in Psalms LVI, s, Put thou
