Writing with Secret Ink.

Some OF our boys and girls who wish
to carry on a secret correspondence
with their friends should try invisible
or sympathetic ink A whole page may
be filled with writing and still be en-
tirely white, as if there wasn't word
upon it. In this way it may be sent
any distance, and no one can find out
what it contains. But the person who
receives it knows the secret of bring
ing OUT the writing so that it may be
easily read
One of the simplest of these invisible
inks is a very dilute solution of sui
phuric acid. Buy cents worth of the
acid at a drug store and pour in con-
siderable quantity of water, at least
three or four times as much as there
is of the acid. Now, write with this So
luton, using an ordinary pen, and blot
the surplus ink as you go along. To
make the writing show black, all your
correspondent has to do is to hold the
letter close to hot stove, when presto!
out come the letters and words one by
one, so that they may easily be read.
Another good secret ink, more diff
cult to bring out than the one already
mentioned, can be made by using a
cheap solution of sugar of lead. To
bring out the written words it is neces-
sary to sponge the letter with solu-
ton of sulphuret of ammonia.
Another simple secret ink is made Of
a weak solution of ordinary starch. A.
letter written with this will remain
entirely invisible until it is washed
with solution of iodine, which quick
ly brings out the writing.
In using secret ink it is best to write
an ordinary letter telling about the
weather and other unimportant things,
and then between the lines write with
the secret ink This will serve to lead
quite astray any one who sees, the let
ter, because there could be no sus-
picions of anything written between
the lines.

Who'll Find the Hidden Name?

Each line of the following sonnet
contains in regular arrangement one OF
the letters in the name of famous
American. The letters follow one an
other in mathematical succession. See
# you can pick them out and find the
mans name:
A man who was, in peace and war, a
chief
Above the pettiness of party strife;
brawny, kindly one of simple life;
A brave and noble soul, who gained re-
lief
For thousands of his fellowmen in
grief
And slavery, and who, when war was
rife,
Called mighty troops, that marched
by drum and fife
To free black slaves. His public life
was brief,
Gut great in deed and word and gentle
ness
A statesman, born near the Ohio's
shore,
Of humble ancestry, who worked his
way
BY strictly honest means to great sue
cess.
His name you all doubtless have
heard before,
But these few lines may show you 1t
today.

Advice to Football PLAYERS.

An excellent bit of advice to boys
who are training for bicycle riding,
football or baseball is given by Har-
pers Round Table:
1T is law Of athletic training that
one cannot get into condition in a
month or two. To prepare for foot
ball game on Thanksgiving, one must
begin on the first of December on the
year before-not the first of October Of
that year. In other words, If you wish
to be a member Of varsity team you
must keep yourself more or less in
training, not only during your four
years at college, but during the years
preceding your college course. As
result any sensible person will say
that although smoking may be in no
way harmful in itself, 1t Is wiser and
more to your own interest, If you have
any outdoor or indoor athletic ambi-
tions, not to smoke until those ambi-
tions are satisfied.
when man has been running and
breathes hard he is said to be 'winded.'
That is merely term, however. The
fact of the case is that the action Of the
heart is increased. This sends the
blood through his body much faster
than usual, and he is obliged to draw
air much more frequently into his
lungs in order to do the extra work Of
purifying this blood which moves SO
much faster than usual. When you
smoke the nicotine in the tobacco has
an effect on your nerves, which in turn
affects the heart, not at all seriously.
perhaps, but at the same time, if you
run shortly after smoking, there is still
more exaggerated action of the heart,
and this requires still quicker breath
ing. Hence trainers say that a man
who smokes Injuries his wind.'

With Boys and Girls for Dolls.

WIN EOyS ana GIFTS iOT boiis'
For real fun there is nothing that
equals a doll party Not doll party
of the kind that the very little people
give, but a party in which all the boys
and girls become dolls themselves, act
like dolls and play dolls games. 1t is
really an interesting kind of mas
querade party.
One of our bright girls recently gave
such an entertainment, which was most
successful.
The invitations were sent by little
Chinese and Japanese dolls of the kind
sold on the street at two for cents,
which are already dressed in gay orlen-
tai garments of paper. In the sash a
tiny envelope was thrust, addressed to
the person to whom the doll was sent
and containing an invitation to a doll
party, the receiver being requested to
come in a costume personating doll
of some sort.
One of the most amusing features of
the evening was a row Of paper dolls,
live boys and girls of course, dressed
IN white and leaning against the wall,
with hands Joined. To do this well one
must contrive to drive every bit of eX-
preston from the face, and by the aid
Of powder to assume a ghast:y COM
pleXion.
An ingenious costume of gray under
wear, drawn over the shoes and stock
ingS and sleeves, with short skirt and
waist of gray silesia, made a very
good rubber doll, but the belle of the
evening was turbaned black Dinah.
Of course, in most cases, masks are
worn, but these can be dispensed with
early in the evening. A prize is given
to the one who can guess the identity
of the greatest number. There is field
here for any amount of ingenuity As
this was in suburban town the in
vitation dolls were delivered by a mes
senger.
