People are still talking about that
leap year party. 1t seems that there
were good many things did not see.
But who is there that can see through
cloth screens? The party is talked
about more than any party Of the sea-
son. Several Of the men and perhaps
an equal number Of the girls came away
very unhappy. Somehow the party I'M
masked hidden feelings, and placed

dance, had been proceeding on false
basis. l haye heard number Of people
say they will never go to another leap
year party.
/ have tried to find out the prospect
for dancing after Easter, but there
don't seem to be any definite plans. The
Patriarchs will probably have one more
dance. and the Lincoln club is likely to
round out the season with another big
party. Nobody seems to know what the

everybody drank and on the impulse of

everybody was looking at me to see
what would do, just drank with the
rest. They called the cocktail by some
peculiar name Il don't remember what.
l couldn t see that it did me any harm.
but ] suppose l braced myself. Why do
they drink cocktails out Of such small
glasses? 1t seemed to be very smooth
and pleasant. But it must be dread
full to get in the habit Of drinking.
suppose the harm comes in drinking
several cocktails at time.

Jack says the only criticism he has to
make Of the liquid refreshment offered

Lincoln water is terribly deleterious.

says: Morning calls are usually made
between the hours Of 2 aad 4. A gentle
man should take his hat into the room
with him, holding it in his hand during

in the hall.

In fact, the big ruby made an actual

A HEAD For F1GUREs.-Secretary

A HEAD For FIGUREs.-Secretary
Morton believes that he has among the
assistant statisticians of his force one
man who is little less than a wonder
as "figgerer." The mans name is
Henry Farquhar, and rumors of his
ability in mental arithmetic having
been in circulation for some time, the
secretary the other day put the matter
to test. "Mr. Farquhar," said the
secretary, ~ have heard you can
multiply ten figures in your head. Is
that so ?" "Well," replied the assis'
tant statistician modestly, ~ am will

Mr.. Farquhar had the figures repeated
to him, and then he concentrated his
mind upon them. For half minute
or 80 he looked like q man in trance
Then he seized a pencil and piece oi
paper and hurriedly wrote down the
figures, "1,271, ,944, ,77S." "Now, lei

triaing, so quickly did her nimble and
skillful fingers complete it. Chester
thanked her effusively and held the gar
ment up before him to admire the neat
ness of her work. The critical inspection
gave him new ground for disquieting
reflection. His coat was undeniably old,
not to put tco fine point upon the fact
'seedy," and the newness Of the buttons
seemed to emphasize its air Of faded gen.

SOME DON'Ts FoR SwIMMERs.-Div-
| ing is certainly tho best way for you to
enter the warer-alwsys provided that
you know all about its depth. Moth.
| ing can be more unhealthful than the
dawdling habit of wading out ankle
deep or knee-deep. The hot sun beats
down on your head. Your feet and
legs are in the cool water, whose
temperature is anywhere from ten to
twenty-five degrees lower than that OF
the air.
You can't remain long under these
conditions without injuring yourself.
Natures plan is to have head cool and
the extremities warm. Go contrary
to this and you are in trouble. Prob
ably most of you can remember having
a headache sometime or other from
this very cause. Indeed, physicians
will tell you that many attacks Of
cramps in the water are due to the
swimmers foolishness in wading in
very slowly. Deranged circulation
causes cramps. In places where it is
not safe to dive you can easily stoop
over and throw q few handfuls of
water on your head. Then hurry for
ward and throw yourself in-fall in.
Will other fellows laugh at your pre-
cautions? Well, let them laugh, and
pay for it with the twinges of cramps.
I have been swimming twenty years,
and I've never had cramp, simply
because I've followed the rules laid
down here.-Harper's Round Table.

THE STORY OF DIVES EXPLAINED.

THE STORY OF DIVES EXPLAINED.
DR.. Il, who fills suburban
pulpit out West, is of a practical turn
of mind, and not infrequently impress
ses his congregation by original exposi-
tions of the Scriptures. In one of q
recent series of discourses upon Laza-
rus the doctor said: "Now some fool
of an inHdel will say: "How could
Abraham hear the rich man calling all
the way from Heaven to HadesP
This, my friends will not be difficult
to comprehend when 1t is remembered
that we are talking by telephone 9
hundred miles or more every day."
But again: "This was an actual oc-
currence. 1t was not mere parable
that the Lord was relating but q real
happening. He says: There was q
man., etc. Lazarus was doubtless the
name of the poor man, but the name
of the rich man Is not given. He is
called Dives. This was not his name,
however. Dives is simply a Latin
word, meaning rich, or rich man.
Now you may inquire why his name
was not also given And the most
probable explanation is that the Lord
withheld the name Of the deceased out
of consideration for the feelings Of his
surviving friends"

WHOM GAIN MARRIED.

In recent issue of your Sunday edi-
ton party asked: "Whon did Cain
marry ?" He married his sister. Her
name was Ripha. This, st. Chrysos-
tom says, was the tradition Of the
Jews at his time. This information
may be found in Duprion's "Concor-
dance of the Holy Bible"
Genesis ", 4, says of Adam: "And
he begot SONS and daughters" jose
phus says that Adam and Eve had
thirty.two daughters. The sons of
our first parents married their sisters.
The Old Testament was written as.
preparation for the coming of Christ,
and the history of personages who did
not typify him or relate to him are not
given. The holy and innocent Abel
was figure of Christ who was killed
by his brethren, and Cain and Abel
and their histories are related, while
nothing is said of their other children.
1t may be of interest to, your many
readers to know the exact meanings of
the names of the patriarchs who lived
from Adam to Noe, as follows Adam,
'"Man in the image of God" or "the
Reasoning being"; Seth, Substituted
by"; Enos, "Frail man.; Caanan,
"Lamentingly fell"; Malaleel, "The
Blessed God"; Jared, "Shall come
down" Henoch, "The Teacher" Me-
thusalah, "His death shall send";
Lamech, "To the humble"; Noe,
crest" or "Consolation." Now put
ting these English meanings of the
Hebrew names together, we have the
following: "Man in the image of God,
Substituted by Frail man, Lamehting
fell, The Blessed God, Shall come
down, The Teacher, His death shall
send, To the humble, Rest or Consola-
tion."
Here in the very names of the great
fathers of our race before the flood, we
find revelation of the fall ofmankind
the sorrows of sin, the incarnation of
Christ, how he will come as teacher,
his death, his redemption given to the
humble ones who will receive his
teachings, and the rest and consola-
tion of peace from wars and the bles-
sings of civilization.
These are but few of the wonder
full things the student finds in the
HOLY, Bible. James l.. Meagher, in

A WALL TO KEEP OUT COLD
WAvEs.-John 81. Miller, Chicago
meteorological expert, believes that a
high wall from the Rocky mountains to
Lake Superior would turn back the
cold winds from Manitoba, and that
the warmer current from the south
would give the United States as mild
climate as Spain.
His theory is that the cold winds of
fall and winter and early spring are
very close to the ground, none of them
exceeding half q mile in height, and
that the weather wall need not be
higher.
He also believes that the wall would
give copious rains to two-thirds of the
country that is now desert.-Pitts-
