kilograms.
An amusing game is called

An amusing game is called "Tele-
grams"
Any number of persons can play the
game. Each player is provided with
paper and a pencil. One member OF
the company gives out a word of ten
letters, and some one else gives a sub
ject for the kilograms which are to
be written, and which must contain
exactly ten words, the first letter OF
each word being taken from the word
given out, in regular order. Five min
utes are allowed for the composition
of the kilograms, at the end of which
time they are read aloud.
For example, the word "lithograph'
was given out, and the players were
requested to write a telegram from
a wife in the suburbs to her husband
in town, notifying him of the arrival
of a guest, and the necessity for extra
provisions.
Two of the eight kilograms written
on the subject read as follows:
Louise ingalls,. Telephone Harvey.
Oysters, grapes, red apples, per Ham
Inns"
"Lemuel in town. Have order
greens. roast and peas hurried"
Another word was providence, "
and the subject was the announcement
of a calamity at sea. One telegram
read:
"Pavonia ruined off Valparaiso, IN
doldrums. Evelyn now coming east"
Another was:
"Polly Roberts off Vancouvers
island, destroyed entirely Ned cabied
Ellen"
The game of "Telegrams" may SAFE
ly be called a cheerful one, for the
wording of the dispatches is sure to
bring a laugh from the company
whether the subject be disaster OF
something of an agreeable nature.
Some of the readings may have to
be preceded by an elaborate explana-
ton, beginning, 81 presuppose," in or
der that the hearers may gather mean
ing from them; but this only adds to
the amusement.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL Cooking.

A Konigsberg DOCTOR DR.. JAEGER, re-
Gently gave a course of hygiene and
bacteriology for ladies, which included
practical exercises in applied bacteriol-
ogy-for instance, in the preparation
and preservation of food by methods
used in meteorological work. At the
close Of the lecture the hearers were
allowed to invite their friends to an
exhibition Of kitchen products-some
raw and cooked-which had remained
in a warm room for periods ranging
from five to sixteen days, and which
were all found perfectly fresh and
quite unchanged in appearance and
taste. Nor, says the British Medical
Journal, had any complicated procedure
been required to attain this result.
The method simply consists in: Cd
The use of vessels with well-fitting,
overlapping lids, instead of the inside
lids used in kitchens all the world over,
which allow stray bits Of matter that
may adhere to their rim to fall into the
food; (2) avoidance Of opening the ves-
sells in which the food was kept, or,
where this was indispensable, careful
manipulation, as in meteorological
work, and (3) the use of cotton wool
as a covering. Cottonwood lids had
been specially prepared to fit the wide
tops of the food vessels; they con-
sisted of a circular disk of cotton wool,
tightly lie between two metal rings,
the outer { which formed the overlap
ping rim Of the lid.-London News.

They Are Reliable.

The American Farmer is sincere in
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For a year or more
there have been endorsements OF the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
1877 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know if this company is responsible,
and if it's remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the Won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But it is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is gentleman of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer Of this article.
They still offer to send sample bot
tie Of "5 Drops" for 25c or large
bottle, 500 doses, for 81, prepaid by
mail or express. Address as above.

One of the grandest acts of Miss

and suffered relapses because Of their
designations. When this fact became
known to Miss Gould she hired the
Salvation Army headquarters, placed
sum of money in the hands of the

cots and bedding, provided cooks,
walters and other necessaries for a
hotel, and placed agents on all trains

Some of them remained there a week

Others were taken there by the po-

the last twenty-five years. He makes
two disputed points plain. These i'm
Elements were made by both the
mound builders and the Indians. Ar

his collection are hundreds of arrow
heads and spear-points, the smallest
bird arrow being one-fourth OF an inch
long. The largest spear-point is thir-

He has several rotary arrows; gods IN

used for drawing sinews; rare discol-
dial stones, used to play game similar
to tenpins; granite mortars and pes

fifty pounds, with pestle running horl-

stone; paint pots and paint grinders;
mauls and gravel hammers; a war
club weighing seven pounds, made OF
translucent quartzite; smoothers, used
to smooth bow-strings; stones used for
grinding corn and seven Indian pipes
