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 1t 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 drug store and pour in a 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 link" 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 q
cheap solution of sugar of lead. To
bring out the written words it is neces-
sary to sponge the letter with a solu-
tion of sulphuret Of ammonia.
Another simple secret ink is made or
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.

Advice to Football Players.

An excellent bit of advice to boys
who are training for bicycle riding,
football, or baseball is given by Har-
per's Round Table,
ut 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 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 a
result, any sensible person will say
that although smoking may be in no
way harmful in itself, it is wiser and
more to your own interest, If you have
any outdoor or indoor athletic ambi"
lions, not to smoke until those ambi-
tons 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"

REGARDING PASSENGER RATES
Decision of the Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners.

Decision of the Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners.
In the matter of the communication
OF the secretary Of the state grange Of
Illinois dated Jan. /. 1897, embodying
resolution of that body adopted at It's
December meeting, 1895, asking the
board Of railroad and warehouse COM
nissioners to reduce the passenger
rate from three (3) cents to two (2)
cents per mile, the commission is OF
the opinion that to do so at this time
would be unwise and unwarranted and
would be unjust to the railroad inter-
est of the state. While some Of the
great trunk lines in Illinois might be
able to stand such reduction, yet the
smaller roads, and those which do
almost wholly a local business. and
which are now and have been for the
last two years struggling for exist
ence, would be most seriously affected
by it.
Such action on our part would SIM
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now. 1t Is
q well-known fact to those who have
taken the trouble to investigate the
amount of passenger business done by
the railroads in Illinois during the past
two years that there has been large
decrease in the number of passengers
carried. This is due in our Judgment
not to the amount charged for such
service but to the general depression
in all lines of business, the low prices
of farm products and the unsettled
financial conditions which have had
their effect on the passenger as well
as the freight business.
And it is also fact, as shown by the
sworn reports of the railroads OF Hi
nois that the capital invested in such
property has not paid even fair In
terest to the stakeholder. This ques-
ton was before us when we revised
the freight schedule in 1895, and the
whole question was thoroughly con-
sidered. We did not think then and
neither do we feel now that in justice
to both the public and the railroads,
because each should stand on the same
equality before the law, this reduction
should be made at this time. II the
country was prosperous our conctA-
sions might be different.
The statistics in our office show that
IOI LuC pdpI Ill CO JOoiot Aooht 1OUN N--N
1896, the average amount charged by
the railroads per passenger mile is
fraction above two cents, although the
maximum allowed them was three
cents.
For the reasons above stated we do
not feel that this reduction should be
made at this time. We are also asked
to recommend this reduction to the
legislature. In view of our conclusion
we do not feel that it would be con-
sistent for us to do SO; however, the
legislature has the power to regulate
the maximum rate which can be
charged for passenger service and we
leave the matter to their wisdom.

Win boys and Girls for Dolls.
For real fun there is nothing that
equals doll party. Not a doll party
of the kind that the very little people
give, but 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 orien-
tai garments of paper. In the sash
tiny envelope was thrust, addressed to
the person to whom the doll was sent.
and containing an invitation to doll
party, the receiver being requested to
come in costume personating doll
of some sort.
One of the most amusing features Of
the evening was row of paper dolls,
live boys and girls of course, dressed
In white and leaning against the wall,
with hands joined. To do this we'll one
must contrive to drive every bit Of ex-
preston from the face, and by the aid
OF powder to assume a CHASTITY 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 we're delivered by mes.

Few people in these busy days are willing
