Fracas Among Immigrants-TwO
Men ScaIded.

Fracas Among Immigrants-Tw
Men Scalded.
While some Chinese immigrants at
Quarantine Station were preparing the
noon meal yesterday they got into dis
pute over the relative heat of the stove
and the time required to thoroughly
cook and brown the turkey, which was
the piece de resistance of the meal.
As the argument and the fire waxed
hotter, blows were struck and the tur-
key went up in smoke. The Chinese
interpreter, Ho Fook, and the cook
stepped in to separate the combatants,
when one OF the belligerants threw a
kettle of boiling water over the inter-
prefer, scalding him badly. The cook
was also seriously burned.
As the result of the fracas six of the
immigrants are in Jail on the island
and the two injured men are in the
hospital.
With the exception of this one dis
turbance, everything has gone on pleas
antly at the station. There have been
no new cases of smallpox, and the one
patient is doing well.

This novel center.piece for birthday
table is sure to please all the little guests
Any kind of simple cake will do, provid.
ed it has plenty of quirliques and sugar
plums on the icing.
Place in the centre of the table look
ing-glass plaque, edging 1t with crimped
pink tissue paper and ferns. On this set
a glass cake-stand supporting the cake,
from the middle of which rises the May
pole. This may vary in size from a
wooden knitting needle to bamboo
cane, to suit the dimentions of the cake.
The pole is pressed firmly into the
cake, and criss-crossed up and down
with bright ribbon, the top being adorn-
ed with a bouquet of bright flowers.
From the top of the pole hang long
streamers of many -colored baby ribbon,
each ending in little package wrapped

given signal each guest takes package,

Way That is Orderly.

A dog addicted to chewing tobacco is
owned by John Holden, butcher of 18th
and Sigel Streets. The dog is an inn
provement upon the average tobacco
chewer in that he doesn't spit on the
floor of trolley car. He takes bit of
weed and, holding it between his fore
paws, sucks all the substance out of it.
He has been chewing tobacco about
three years. Tobacco Is the first thing
he wants in the morning and If he does
not get il at home he will go out among
the neighbors, who know the dogs habit,
and whine among them until he gets
what he wants He will not touch fine
cut, his weakness being in the direction
of plug tobacco. He learned to chew
when puppy, his owner being in the
habit of giving him tobacco as joke
when he sat on his knee. - Philadel-

Buff That Isn't Blind Mans Buff.

Everybody knows about "blind mans
buff" but there is another buff OF quite a
different nature. 1t can be played as a
game and is also often used as a forfeit
bluff, especially when there are several
children wanting to get back their for
feited handkerchiefs, ribbons, knives,
pencils, etc.
These young folks stand up in ring
hand In hand, but facing outward, and
the biggest, holding small hearth
broom, pointing its handle at the next
player, says rapidly and solmenly:
Buff says Buff to all his men,
And they say Buff to him again.
Buff neither laughs nor smiles,
But carries his face
With a very good grace
And passes his broom
To the very next place.
Hal hol hal no!
To my very next neighbor
Go Broomie, go!
II Buff maks any mistake, laughs, or
even smiles during this saying he must
begin 1t all over again. If he keeps
quite solemn and serious he hands the
broom on to the neighbor and retires
from the circle to receive back his for
felt, while the next player, holding its
handle toward her neighbor, repeats the
rhyme, and SO on till the broom is land
ed with the last child, who hands it In
return for her forfeit, or if "Buff' is be
ing played merely as game the ring Is
reformed and the next tallest player be-
gins 1t again with
Buff says Buff to all his men.

LANGUAGE OF FLAGS.

To "strike the flag" is to lower the
national colors in token of submission.
Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and command, the officers using them
being called flag officers. Such flags are
square, to distinguish them from other
banners.
A alag of truce" is white dag dis.
played to an enemy to indicate desire
for parley or consultation. The white
flag is the sign of peace. After battle
parties from both sides often 60 out to
the field to rescue the wounded or bury
the dead under the protection of white
flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance, and
is often used by revolutionists. In our
service 1t is mark of danger, and shows
avessel to be receiving or discharging
her powder.
The black flag is the sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to be
at quarantine, or is the signal of con
tagious disease.
A flag at half-mast means mourning
Fishing and other vessels return with
flag at half-mast to announce the loss or
death of some of the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering 1t slightly
and then hosting II again. to salute a
vessel or fort
