Guessing Advertisements.

Look over your old newspapers and
cut out any advertisements which are
so printed that the picture can be
used without any OF tho printing to
tell what is advertised. Get nbout
twenty different kinds. two of each
kind. Take one of onch kind and
cut Off all tho reading, so there will
be nothing to show what the picture
advertises, and number them ON the
back.
When the company have gathered,
provide each guest with slip of
paper and pencil; then pass around
the pictures, which are numbered,
and request each player to guess what
the picture advertises and write down
his guess with the number OF the pic
ture on his paper. When the pictures
have all been the rounds and beon
guessed on, ask the players each to
write his name on his paper. Collect
the papers aud mark the guesses which
are wrong, then count up and see who
has made the greatest number of cor
rect guesses. Award him tho first
prize, which may be anything your
fancy suggests. For the BOBBY prize,
take the advertisements you have not
used and make scrap book. Make
the leaves of bright colored cambric,
pink the edges aud paste the advertise
ments. Give this to the one who made
the most mistakes in guessing, with
the remark that if he will study this
little book carefully he will do better
next time at guessing advertisements.

No case in the history OF Hahne-
mann Hospital has ever interested the
doctors and nurses 80 much rs the re-
markable one OF Charles Chattcrton,
who was struck in the side by the
shalt OF a cab at Broad and Filbert
streets. He was taken to tho hospital
in grave condition, aud rapidly be-
came so much worse that, fearing he
had been internally injured, DIR.
Northrop made an incision aud found
the spleen badly torn in two places.
While this was being done, tho
patient was rapidly sinking, and,
ms last resort, although the case was
regarded ns almost hopeless, three aud
one-half quarts OF warm salty water
was injected into the veins through
the arm and leg TO take tho place Of
tho exceedingly large quantity OF
blood that was lost. This infusion
hns been used before in such cases,
where tho loss of blood has been
grent, for, wero IL not done, the heart,
having nothing to pump. would soon
ceasc beating.
The injured spleen was carefully
and antisepticrlly packed in gauze to
stop its bleeding, and Chatterton was
placed in bed, with bat little hope OF
his recovery. But bo lived through
the night, and. although slightly
stronger the next day, was still so low
that there was scarcely any hope that
he would survive the injury and
shock.
As Chaiterton still continued to i'm
prove in the face OF such odds, tho
doctors began to take more interest in
his case. He was given blood-making
foods and two subsequent infusions Of
salt water. The treatment seemed to
agree with him particularly well, for
it is said he is now fairly on tho road
TO recovery. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Mammoth Pulley.

The largest two-piece pulley in this
country is in one OF the great iron
work establishments at Pittsburg. 1t
was made in 1893, aud is looked upon
as u marvel in the wheel casting line.
None of the great casting works of the
country would undertake the contract
for making the gigantic wheel and the
necessary apparatus to accompany it,
SO the firm desiring it (althoughit was
out of its line OF business) finally did
the job itself. As it is now the wheel
is twenty-four feet in diameter, has q
face forty eight inches wide and

With flushed face aud disheveled
hair the young woman stood viewing
her work, while Charley, near by. was
quietly munching grass, as if nothing
had happened. just at that moment
a buggy came in sight. 1t carried the
Landell brothers returning from their

I'm glad you've been lucky enough to

Despite innumerable explanations
and demonstrations, the question CON
tinues to be asked whether 1899 or
1900 will be the closing year of the
century, observes the New York Trib-
une. Reference to the rule by which
the Gregorian calendar was established
should be sufficient to settle the mat
ter. 1t states explicitly that the num-
Der in date is the number of the
current year. The nineteenth cen.
tury, therefore, will end with Decem-
ber 81. 1900. and the twentieth CEN
tury will begin with January 1, 1901.
