A Mistake Some Mothers Make.

It is a common excuse with over
indulgent mothers for emitting to cor
rect even glaring improprieties of feel
ing or of conduct that the child Is "too
young to listen to reason" and that 1t
will be time enough to check such abb
CREATIONS afterward. This Is a great
mistake. In infancy we are governed
not by reason, but by the well-directed
affection and kindness of our guardi-
ans; and to wait till the development
of child's understanding before we
commence it's moral training Is to wait
till years of unregulated indulgence
shall have strengthened it's more self
ish and powerful appetites and pas
sions-to wait, in short. till the weed
has ripened and shed its seed, before
attempting to extirpate it from the
soil.-Dr. Combe.

sure to have the temperature OF the

water is usnallya little colder than the
air In spring and summer, and onlythen
should blankets be washed. Press the

Then, without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. Do not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them ex-

will not run into the white. Although
dripping wet, on a clear day they will
dry in four or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The water. not the

Fiags of All Nations.

We once made collection Of the
flags of different nations. Mine were
simply toy flags, yet they taught me
many lesson. If you live where you
cannot buy these toy flags why not
make collection of flags? Pictures Of
the principal flags of the world can be
found In almost any large encyclopedia
or dictionary. Make all your flags OF
the same size, using ordinary writing
paper, with toothpicks for stats.
Either paste or sew each flag to its
staff. The proper design can be made
upon each flag with pen, pencil or
paint-brush. Or it can be made OF
strips and figures cut from paper of the
proper color. II you wish you can
write on the back of each flag the name
of the country to which 1t belongs.
Above all things, do not neglect TO
learn the history Of the origin of every
flag. f.tp

| Tho Big Fellows Like Oranges Better
Than Anything Else.
II there Is anything in the world that
an elephant loves better than a peanut
it is an orange, and if any boy who
reads this wishes, when he goes to the
circus, to give the massive creature an
especial treat, instead Of paying five
cents for a bag Of peanuts to put in the
elephants trunk, let him purchase for
the same money one good-sized orange,
and present that to the small-eyed, fat
cared monster. A number of years ago,
in book which was called Leaves
from the Life of Special Correspon-
dent" Mr.. O'Shea, The author Of the
book, gave the following description OF
all adventure he had with herd of ell
ephants. Said he: "a young friend
once asked me once to show him some
elephants, and l took him along with
me, having first borrowed an apron and
filed it with oranges. This he was to
carry whilst accompanying me in the
stable, but the moment we reached the
door the herd set up such trumpeting
they had scented the fruit that he
dropped the apron and its contents, and
scuttled off like scared rabbit. There
were eight elephants, and when / picked
up the oranges found had twenty-five.
l walked deliberately along the line,
giving one to each. When got to the
extremity of the narrow stable l
turned and was about to commence the
distribution again, when suddenly re-
flected that il elephant No. in the
row saw me give two oranges in sue

to get back to the door. Every ele-
plant in the herd had his greedy gaze

any one of them. What was / to do?
held it up conspicuously, coolly peeled
1t and ate it myself. 1t was most anus
ing to notice the way those elephants
nudged each other and shook their pom

into the humor of the thing. -Harper's

waxed excited over this last topic,
Finally one of them said she had q
costume in process of construction that
met all objections. She said:
''The costume is a one-piece garment,
and makes a splendid walking skirt.
There are pair Of elastic cords ar
ranged skillfully at the side, and when

do is to pull at these nice little cords,
and behold, the skirt rises in graceful
folds on each side, leaving the limbs in

are of linen, embroidered, some edged
with lace, some of silk, with drawn
work borders. but all are of spotless
white, and the whole plan is as spring
like as the flower season itself.
Another favor is bon-bon bag, with
silk cover. For the foundation there
are some pieces of firm cardboard, cut
out in different shapes, grouped togeth-
err securely, so as to form an excellent
stand for the silk receptacle. These
pockets are in every tint of delicate
silk, according to fancy, and are drawn
up by ribbons. They are filed with
chocolate sweets in every variety. The
guests card is tied to the ribbons, and
as favors these certainly are unique
and tasteful.
Another society hostess will give
during the spring months luncheon
for her daughter. The invitations are
in silver cardboard. the envelopes tied
with pink ribbon, as dainty as possible.
The young debutante conceived
happy idea for the occasion. She is
having photographs taken Of herself in
miniature size. When finished, they
will be inclosed in French gilt frames
and through the knot will be tied
bow of narrow ribbon. A pin on the
under side will fasten these quaint con-
ceits on the dress OF each guest. For
table decorations there will be wreaths
of smilax set off by buds of the brides
maid rose, so that flowers and favors
will be happily combined. The napery
will be pink and white. In the middle
of the board will be an old-fashioned
candelabrum, whose base will be COW
cred with ivy. There will be rosettes
of broad, pink satin ribbon, at each
corner, the bands of ribbon running
around the table. ALI the china will be
pink, of course.

vented by DIR. Sargent, of Harvard uni
versity, with that end in view. His
chief desire was to invent game
which would be lively, and at the same
time not in the slightest degree dan
gerous. He also wanted a game that
could be played without long training
or previous practice. The result OF his
experiments is battle ball.
The court upon which the game Is
played is somewhat similar to that used
in tennis, as will be seen by the ac
companying diagram. The length Of the
court Is twice its width, the court be-
ing divided by line in the middle,
making two squares Of twenty feet,
while the court is fifty feet long by
twenty-five feet wide. This sized court
is the most desirable when there are
Ave players on q side, which is the
usual number, although the game may
be played by any number greater than
three.
Lines should be marked on the ground
or the floor as shown in the diagram.
These lines are known as the center
foul, foul end and goal lines. The goal
lines are those which are marked by
circles at each end. On them should
be placed three pairs of Indian clubs Of
three pounds weight each, one pair in
the center and the others three feet
from the posts, the clubs of each pair
being eighteen inches apart. Seven
feet above the goal lines cords are
stretched across from posts.
4 IL there are Ave on side, the three
stationed in front Of the clubs act as
guards or goal-tenders, while the other
two are forwards or goal-tenders.
Should there be more than Ave players,
the additional contestants will be goal
forwards.
The ball used In the game is large
rubber one, Allied with air and covered
with leather. 1t should be nine inches
in diameter, and weigh about pound.
The side which has the ball-this Is
decided by a toss Of the countries to
throw 1t between the goals on the other
side. II It succeeds in doing so ten
points are scored in its favor; II the at
tempt to make goal falls and club is
hit, five points are scored. If the bali
merely passes the goal line under the
cord, three points are made.
Penalties are also exacted for fouls.
If the ball goes over the goal cords 1t
counts one against the side that threw
the ball, and II thrower steps over
the center-foul line, II counts two
against his side. ~
The game consists of two teh-minute
halves, with a rest of five minutes be-
tween the halves.
When the game is played out of doors,
wands or sticks like cricket-wickets
may be stuck into the ground. These
should project three feet.
1t is claimed for the field Of battle ball
that it develops the muscles of the back,
as well as those of the chest, and those
of the left arm as well as those Of right.
An argument In its favor is that girls
as well as boys may play it, there being
not the slightest element of roughness
in the game.-Henry Jamison, In Gold
en- Days.
