A HEART PARTY.

Among the ways of entertaining a
party of children, a ''Heart Party" is
little novelty. This is how to ar
range it. First, largo sheet is ar
ranged on door, or-if the game is to
be played out of doors-on'a a screen on
the lawn. A large heart is then cut
out of red flannel and pinned on to the
sheet. In the centre of the heart a
small circle of white is next sewn on.
Every guest is then provided with an
arrow, made out of white cloth, with a
pin placed in it. Eacn arrow bears a
number corresponding to list whereon
the names and numbers of the guests
have been written. The point of the
game is to see which person, when
blind folded, will pin the arrow near
est to the centre spot of white. Four
prizes are given-one for each girl or
boy who is nearest to the centre, and
one each to those getting the farthest
from the bull's-eye. The prizes are
generally heart-shaped bincushion
and heart-shaped photograph frame,
or heart-shaped silver pin, or heart
shaped bonbon case. The BOBBY prizes
are fairy holding tiny heart with
an arrow inscribed, "try, try again."
and a pin cushion made of red satin,
shaped like beet.

Miss Sara Marshall,Of Georgetown,
Delaware, writes of the "up-to-date
housewife" in Ladies' Every Satur-
day." of Feb. 29th, Interestingly as
follows:
"How little the average young wo-
man thinks of the responsibilities
which the household duties will bring
upon her when she plights her troth to
the young man of her choice. Per-
haps she has never kept house for
whole week even, and knows nothing
of the hygiene of cooking, nor the
thousand and one things that are nec-
essary for the successful housekeeper
to know.
She may think all such things can be
left to the cook, but how often is the
old adage proved, when food comes on
the table in an unpalatable condition,
that "God sends the food and the de-
vii sends the cook" First, then
young girls should learn to cook and
keep the kitchen, with all its utensils
clean and bright. Size will have
plenty of opport unities TO display her
good taste in the dinging room with
pretty china, dainty linen and exqui-
ste dqyles, to say l.uthing IF the

and the library, will come naturally,
as will the attention 10 the sleeping de-
apartments. Let every window be
kept bright 18th fresh dainty hangings,

MEDICAL AMENITIES IN BRAZIL.
Experiences of DR.. Fort, Who Criticised
Brazilian Doctors.

Experiences of DR.. Fort, Who Criticised
Brazilian Doctors.
In 1880 French medical graduate
named Fort established himself at Rio
de Janeiro, where he soon acquired a
great reputation as a skillful surgeon,
thereby somewhat arousing the jeal-
Ousy Of the local practitioners Re-
turning to Paris after some years Of
expatriation he published his impress
sions of the Brazilian capital, making
particular mention of the defective sys-
tenn Of instruction in operation at the
School of Medicine, and animadverting
with much severity on the extreme lack
Of zeal manifested by the students A
few months ago Dr. Fort again visited
Rio de Janeiro, but had it not been for
the Intervention of the French ambas-
sador the reception he was accorded
by his former colleagues and their pu-
pills might we'll have been attended by
serious consequences The following
description of the fracas is furnished
by local paper: eat midday Our door
street was blocked by upward of 500
to Fortp Dividing into groups they
then proceeded to the various newspa-
per offices in the town, demanding the
cooperation of the press in publishing
the base maligner who, in their persons,
had dared TO insult the whole of Brazil
and its inhabitants After this they
searched the hotels for their victim in
order to lynch him, but happily DR..
Fort was absent from the city that
day. Thus foiled they organized an
execution in effigy with funeral pro-
cession, the starting point of which
was at the Medical Faculty. Upward Of
a thousand students accordingly
emerged from the faculty the next
morning in regular order, each individ-
! ual carrying in his hand a lighted ta-
per, while at the head of the column
there was a catafalque with a coffin
| containing the eff1gy. On either side
robed students bearing extra large cam
dies marched as pallbearers, and scat
tered along the line was plentiful dis
| play of banners decorated with asses
heads and uncomplimentary illusions
| to Brazil's caluminator. SO realistic
was the whole scene that prayers for
| the dead were chanted while the pro-
cession was en- route, and when the
| final act of cremation took place in San
Francisco square it was accompanied
| by the solemn strains of De Profun-
dis" BY a later account we learn
that DR.. Fort was able to embark on
| the La Plata safe and sound and also
convinced, we should think, that Bra
lillian medical students have still some
zeal left.-The Lancet.

An Aerial Torpedo.

The torpedo consists of small sized
gas-flled balIon, capable of sustaining
for any length of time from thirty to
forty pounds at an elevation of from
500 to 1000 feet above the earth. In
side of the lower or smallend OF the
balloon is placed a metal cylinder,
which contains an electrical device,
the purpose of which is to ignite the
gas in the balloon at any stated period.
Underneath the balloon is suspended a
case or basket containing high ex-
plosive, similar to dynamite, which ex-
rlodes with terrific force when strik-
ing a hard substance, like the earth or
walled embankments. In action, the
management of the torpedo is described
AS very easy and simple, the inventor
stating that corporars guard can with
it accomplish what would require
large force to do by the usual methods
now employed in the siege OF cities,
or the scattering of large bodies OF
troops. The torpedo complete is small
and compact, and a large number can
be carried by a few men or pack ami

Wanted More Paw for Services.

Racine, Wis, Nov. IA In the county
court today a case came up that re-
called the James Fl. Pollock will. An
drew johnson took care of and nursed
Mr. Pollock during his last sickness.
Today he presented bill for 5000 or
500 against the estate for compensa-
ton. During the progress of the hear
ing evidence was introduced that
showed contract between the dead
man and johnson where he was to get
500 per month and receiptwas shown
for a settlement in full. The claim was
not entertained by the court. Mr..
Pollock left an estate valued at $780,
900. He gave number of hischildren

Whether the people of Kenosha
know it or not, in the line Of theatrical
amusements, they are exceedingly we'll
provided for. There are not many
towns of this size that have so pleasant
an opera honse, or have it open so
many nights in the week to really first
class entertainments. In many towns,
even larger than this, the facilities for
such amusements are very poor and
the play houses are unused for weeks.
Possibly our good fortune is more or
less due to our proximity to Chicago,
but undoubtedly much IS owing to the
management.

The Champion whist PLAYERS

Fred Reinold and E. P. Chalfant, as
whist players, are at present holding
the boards against all Corners. During
the present week they have been play
ing together in a series of games
against the most skilled players in
town and up to the present have de-
feated all opponents. Friday night
they met two members of the renowned
Big Four and are today dangling
their scalps at their belts. They are
already itching to meet the other two
members of the aggregation, and if for
tune still favorS them, will be in pos
ition to rightfully regard themselves as
the champion whist players in town.

EASY TO GET FAT.
If Your Drink is Right.

Skinny people generally are so, be-
cause of their inability to digest the
food which is passed from the stomach
into the bowels. The bowel digestion
is weakened. Starches of the grains
make fat tissue, but if the bowel diges-
ton is weakened by coffee, tobacco,
whiskey, ETC., the person remains
skinny. Leave off the weakening hah-
it's and use in place of coffee Postum
Cereal, the health coffee. 1t is made
by the Postum Cereal Co., lim., Battle
Creek, Mich, entirely of grains and is
fattening. 1t looks like the finest
Mocha coffee. Persons who care to lay
aside their hurtful habits and eat plain
we'll cooked food and some fruit, and
drink Postum will feel a great i'm
provement in a weeks time. Nature is
powerful builder if left free to work
without drugs and poisons.
1t should not be forgotten that 81
per cent. of the body is liquid, there
fore healthful liquid is of the greatest
necessity.

Not Held Under the Charge OF Aiding a
Prisoner to Escape.
". e.. Carson is a free man. He was
not held under the charge preferred
against him in Racine of attempting to
assist Solomon Israel, alias Frank Mil
Ter, to escape from the Jail.
1t will be remembered that he was
arrested Oct. "A under the charge be-
cause he had in his possession two or
three notes from the burglar, one OF
which called for saw. His prelimin-
airy hearing under the charge was de-
ferred from week to week until Friday,
when he was taken before Justice Mo-
rey. Two or three witnesses testified
TO the fact that they had heard Carson
say he intended to deliver the notes.
A police officer testified that Carson
had shown him the note about the saw
wanted early in the day, but he had
paid no attention to it. Then Carson
testifying for himself said that he did
not intend to deliver the notes.
The fact that he had shown the note
to police officer was urged as evil
dence that he had no criminal intent,
and so the assistant district attorney
moved for his dismissal. Justice Morey
let him 90.

1 GENTLEMEN when / wrote you
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief of three physicians, on her
deathbed; she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
lieve her. The doctors Informed US
she had a cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be SO near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use of your S. s. S., we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good,
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed US, and left it with her to try
YOUR remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. S. S.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
GEO. l.. CROsGRovE.
