is for the veal outlet that shall preserve

proper procedure is to have the outlets
shaved into very thin slices. These raw
slices must be carefully laid over the
face, and lightly kept in place by pass
ing narrow tape or ribbon over them.
The result is not becoming, but that is
unimportant. The victim then retires
to a perfectly darkened room and lies
down for at least half an hour. When
the veal becomes warm by contact with
the face, it should be turned over and
again applied
When the face has ceased TO burn the
veal may be removed and the face gen

PLANNING A PICNIC.
Appetizing Things to Eat and Ways of
Amusing the Children.

Unfortunately in many households
picnic is such a rare occurrence that no
one member of the family knows how t.
plan for it, and the result is more tire
some than hard days work.
When packing the lunch basket it is
wise to remember that when the Their
mometer touches the nineties foods
should be mainly water. The soldier
portions of our diet should not contain
an excess of fat, for that would only add
to our discomfort in warm weather.
Plenty of bread spread thiniy with but
ter or just enough chopped meat for
relish should be the principal part Of
the contents of the lunch basket. Let
tuce and cucumbers are appetizing al
ditions to sandwiches. Cheese chopped
or melted or mixed with little cream
and seasoning is an excellent filling
for either bread or cracker sandwiches.
OF cakes the average picnic basket has
a too generous provision; cookies of
some sort must be provided for the chill
dren, but there need be little else. Ripe
fruit is more wholesome and more cas-
lily provided than all the host of sweets
which so often make the preparation
burden.
The little children will be amused for
awhile at least by picking the big heads
of red clover in the pastures for auntic
or mamma to make a pillow Of after
they are nicely dried. just now they
are put in a big bag brought for this
purpose and when taken home are
sprinkled lightly with salt and allowed
to dry thoroughly. The older boys will
rest without being uneasy for short
time by pulling twigs of fir to be mixed
with the clover. by and by, or to make
pillow by itself
When this employment becomes tire
some it will make u pleasant variety to
follow the old fashion and let all the
children who can speak pieces This
is the time for the patriotic verses, old,
but ever new when repeated at the right
time and with the right spirit.

BLIND eoYs Play eALL.
Their Game Differs In Many Details from
the Regular One

NhS Ont
Prof. Il. Is. Huntoon, of the kentucky
school, describing baseball among the
Sind, says; The baseball game differs,
of course, in many OF its details from the
regular games. The diamond is not of
regulation size, but it is of regulation
form. The distance between bases is
but 40 feet. The feeders are stationed
the same as in the National league game,
with the exception that there is a right
shortstop, thus making ten men to a
side. In the outfield, in pubEc games.
there is an unlimited number of players,
each taking turn at the bat, first NOV
ing up one position whenever bats
man is put out.
The catcher sits on the ground, well
back from the home plate, and. TO GUARD
against injury, he wears mask and a
chest protector. His position is such
that when a pitcher delivers a ball it
strikes the ground just between the
knees and is taken on the short bound.
The .batsman takes his position at
the plate with heavy fiat bat. some
what like those used in cricket. The
umpire, who must be man of unim-
paired vision, calls upon the pitcher to
get ready, and then clearly sings out:
Zone, two, three!" At the word three
the pitcher must Loyalty deliver the
ball. He pitches in the slow. underhand
way peculiar to the game 25 or 30 years
ago, the idea being to deliver ball that
can be hit by the batsman. who, stand
ing there in the darkness. with sharp

conception of the time that must
elapse before the ball reaches him, is
prepared to strike.
If the batsman should miss the ball
bounces into the catcher's lap, and is
returned to the pitcher by a single toss
with precision that is wonderful.
When the ball is batted the umpire calls
out quickly to the fielder in whose di-
rection it is travelling, and he, guided
by sense of hearing, either catches
the ball or follows il in its course
through the grass. Six strikes are an
out. In fielding any number of bounds
are permitted. If the batted ball is a
"hot liner" and travelling straight for
an infielder's head, the umpire shouts
warning, and in such cases the player
ducks or falls TO the tuft.

the assisting player, who is guided by

The Reflector says that one of the Sc
crets of palatable food is knowing how
to cook water. The secret is TO put
fresh filtered water into clean kettle
already warm, to let il boil quickly. and
10 use it the instant it is boiled. TO let
it steam and simmer means TO have
combination of lime. iron and dregs in
the kettle, and all the good water esap-
crates into air. 1t is surprising that
many housekeepers. otherwise neat and
particular, seem to think that kettle
will stay clean without active measures
on their part. The mere fact that moth

Ladies of Honor, held its regular meet
ing in Changers Hall last evening. and
after the regular business was disposed
OF an entertainment was given by five
OF the knights which was very amusing
as well as instructive 1t was in the
nature of am old-fashioned spelling
match, in which Harmony Lodge mem
bers participated, and it developed the
fact that there are many good spoilers
among them.
The prize for the winning side was a
box of chewing gum. 1t was awarded
to Miss Emma Casper, as her side We're
declared the best spoilers. When she
received the prize she began distribut-
ing the gum among the brothers and
sisters, all of whom set at work chewing
gum simultaneously. 1t resembled a
gum-chewing contest the rest of the
evening.
There was a boxing bout between
Messrs. Grigsby and Kilborn, who dis
played marked skill in the manly art.
The prize, handsome belt, was award
ed to Kilborn.
Judge j. P. Counts presided during
the entertainment, and refereed the
boxing match like ring expert.
A pleasing feature of the evening was
the banquet given by the ladies. and
which was a complete surprise to the
knights. The ladies were surprised in
turn to see the delicacies disappear SO
rapidly. Appropriate remarks were
made by number of the members of
Harmony and EqAity Lodges, and
taken altogether the evening was de-
lightfully spent
