began: sometimes above and sometimes
under the water.
Men were constantly being dragged
ashore in an unconscious condition, to
tated by the women with the use of
~rubbings and strong beer. At last a
lucky throw from the water by an
"All Saints" man to one of his party on
the shore sent the whole crowd surging
inland, and then in the direction of the
water gate. The whole crowd, did I
say? All, no. In the excitement of the
moment one poor fellow, lying at the
bottom of the river, had been forgotten.
But the day was growing to a close
and 1T was growing very dark The
"All Saints man with the. ball had
outrun his pursuers, made a wide de-
tour and got lost in the and
was in hiding. At once the Peters"
men rushed to the water wheel and
it to prevent the ball be-
ing brought there. The point was now
by any stratagem on the part of the
"All Saints" men. under cover of the
darkness-to get the ball against the
wheel. OF course no one was allowed
to approach. But the miller and his
wife had been away from home all day
to see the game and were now clamor-
ing to get in to feed their children, who
had been locked UP in the house. A
passage was made for them and the
miller led his wife past the wheel
toward a side door in the mill. But as
she passed he wheel from under her
skirts dropped the ball, and an "AlI
Saints" who had arranged the trick,
as quick as lightning grabbed the ball
and struck it thrice against the wheel.
The shout of "All Saints forever an
nounced the victory. The miller and
his wife disappeared into the mill and
the crowd from the five parishes into
their respective ehouse for the night.

WHERE WILD GEESE ARE lilly.

who claims to know. 'The river, as 1t
passes through Warren county, Is formed

stream flows for several miles. That por-

and you have to watch out with both eyes
wide open when you go down stream.

wide in Warren county,. and the rocks that
project everywhere above the surface. from

The ~Leyden-Jar.

HARPER , 1Oung ReODIe.
The Leyden-jar is a necessary adj
junct to any kind of electrical machine.
for by 1t alone can the electricity gener-
ated by the machine be stored for the
numerous experiments and for impart-
ing shocks. "A small jar may be made
from an ordinary thin glass tumbler of
the largest size: but If a larger jar Is
desired, a glass bottle or jar with a neck
sufficiently wide to admit the hand
must be used. Such jars are easily pro
cured. Take the tumbler or jar and
paste tinfoil inside it, covering the bot
tom and extending about three-quar-
ters UP its height; when this has been
done paste tinfoil on the outside. COW

and clean the uncovered glass thor
oughly.
Now make a lid for the lumber or
jar. SO as to fit it. This is best made by
being turned out of a piece of three
quarterback thick hard wood; but it
can be cut with a knife out OF two
quarterback pieces. one a little larger
than the outside of the tumbler or neck
of the jar. and the other made to fit in
side the tumbler or neck. When these
pieces are glued together they Will
form a sufficient lid. Bore a hole
through the center of the lid to re-
ceive a stout brass wire, about six
inches long. having a brass or lead ball
at it's upper end, and a short piece of
brass chain tied with wire to its lower
end. When the lid is put in its place
the chain must touch the tinfoil at the
bottom.
To use the jar. place it so that it's ball
is close to the ball of the collector
or conductor of the electrical machine.
and turn the handle Sparks will be
seen to pass from one ball to another
until the Leyden-jar will refuse TO re-

with electricity. Now if a person
touches the outside coating of tinfoil
with one hand and the ball with the
other, he will receive an electric shock.
If a string of ten or twenty boys is
formed, by joining hands. and the left
hand boy places his finger on the ball.

WHIST.
One of the Few Good Games of Cards
for Two Hands.
Home Notes.

Home Notes.
There are, for some undiscovered rea-
son, very. few simple two-handed card
haps. the least known, is German whist
Essentially a game of skill. there is a suff-
a good game even between two unequal
players, and the issue is always more or
less uncertain until the last moment.
An ordinary pack of whist cards is all
that is required, and as far as play is con-
cerned the rules of whist are almost en-
to each player. as in the ordinary four
handed game. Instead, however, OF turning
enth is placed face upward on the re-
mainder of the pack. The suit of this card
remains trumps throughout the game
The dealers viS-a-viS plays first by lead
ing any card, and the dealer must follow
suit, as in whist, or, IL he cannot, either
trump or throw away a useless card.
The first trick is now on the table,, and
whoever picks 1T up draws the trump card
from the top of the pack. The card below
show it's face. The third card ON the pack
is now turned up, and will belong to the
winner of the second trick, the loser again
drawing the card underneath, and so on
throughout the pack. In this way the play
er always has thirteen cards in his hand
until the end.
AS tricks of two are difficult to keep dis
.inct 1t is generally found advisable to pile
them Unfortunately for the time being
game.
In playing the cards have the ordinary
whist valuations, and when the last cards
have been drawn. the thirteen which re-
main in the hand are played out In the
usual way. TIL difference between the
number of tricks taken by the dealer and
his opponent is the number of points the
winner scores. Each game is usually con-
sidered complete In Itself. but 1t is no I'M
usual occurrence to find. at the end. that
each player has thirteen tricks.
1t is difficult In such a short space to
give any reliable hints for players, but
anyone accustomed to whist will fall into
the way at once. Obviously. however, it is
not always an advantage to take the card
which is turned up, and In the case OF this
being a low one a speculative player Will
often lead the lowest card In his hand In
the hope of drawing something better un-
derneath. The player Is happy who, when
IL comes TO playing the last thirteen cards.
finds himself with one long suit and the
majority of trumps.
