Keening Fig sunday.

"Lons Rope Day" is an old name for
Good Friday, owing to the strange custom,
In some parts of England of skipping the
rope: whole communities Of men, women
and children would often spend the day

gage in skipping al the same time

Coral JeweIrx in vorne.

The most favored of the coral ornaments
just now are the long strings of coral
beads, which are wound once or twice
around the neck and allowed to hang far
below the waist like the gold and silver
chains of last year.
The prettest ones have a large piece of
coral. like a clasp, which is worn lust I'M
der the chin. These have to be put twice
around the neck so as to bring the CLASH
In the middle of the front. The majority
of these strings are made of beads about
the size of French peas, though many are
made OF very small beads, and some have
the large coral beads strung alternately
with several tiny ones of cut steel These
are very pretty. though not so much worn
as the long even strings Of large beads with
the ornamental clasp.
There is an interesting Italian supersti-
ton connected with the use of coral. II is
supposed to bring luck to the wearer and
to ward off the evil eye. Everyone who
has been in Italy win remember the littlo
coral hands worn by the contadini Thee
coral hands have the second ana fifth 3np-
ors extended in the position known as tbe
"caciatura." which is supposed to protect
one from the glance of the dreaded evil
eye.
The light coral, called nasturtian red is
supposed to have specially lucky propertiee
and is the kind now in favor for chains
and other ornaments.

HIDDEN WORD GAMES.

New and Original Ways of Amusing
a Company by Guessing Contests.
A very interesting game calling for
quick wits and fairly good capacity for
spelling is played in this way: All the COM
pany sits around table and each has
paper and pencil. The hostess gives out
a'name, or a very short proverb, or very
long word This is written down and the
company all try to see how many other
words they can find an it in a given time
say ten to fifteen minutes. These are all
to be written down. and the rule should
be that no obsolete word can count nor
a proper name though the name of a city
or county may.
For instance from the name Henry w
Longfellow, the following words were
made in less than ten minutes; Hen, men,
new, long, fell, fellow, ell yell, he'll, gone,
won, well, low, no, so, hew, few, you, yew
how, hollow, lone, one, were, fern, wrong
and row Doubtless many more could have
been found by a brighter person, or If the
had been longer.
Another little game may follow this, since
pencil and paper are at hand. The hostess
gives out a sentence like The battle of
Bunker Hill" This is read to the compa-
ny, and each in turn writes down one syl-
liable. If there are more persons present
the sentence must be longer, so that each
one shall be allotted one syllable. When
each one has written his or her syllable,
the pieces of paper are folded and thrown
into a hat and shaken up, and then they
are taken out one by one and laid in line
just as they come. The line of syllables
is then read off just as they lie and often
in fac always-the result is very conf
cal. ''Of the bun bat ker hill" one result
read.
A Jolly good game for a crowd of ioliv
people, young or old, is WORD Poses. !"
This game, or perhaps, TO be more nearly
accurate, this combination of several old
games with added improvements, has been
found 20 be a success in actual use, and
is confidently expected to make friends
everywhere Any number of people NAV
participate.
Two stage managers were chosen. who.
in turn. select their individuals alternate
ly until everybody has been apportioned.
Number One Company goes out of the
room, while the members of Numer Two
select word. Then the stage manager
of Number Two informs the rival organ
ization of-not the real word, OH no. but
another one of like syllables and rhynaine
with it. The stage manager of Number
One now proceeds along other like words
and gives parts to the members. who
must enact thef conception Detore all the
others until the right word Is shown and
recognized. Number Two Company then
have their innings
"The word rhymes with table" an
nounced the stage manager, during a re-
cent most enjoyable evening spent at
word posing"

Each year there Is a new rug or sllken
carpet made In Cairo and carried in SOL
emn pomp to Mecca and carefully hung
over the sacred Kaaba, above Mohammeds
tomb.
There are two professions; the first car
ries the carpet from the citadel to the
Saidna Husein Mosque, where IL is sewn
together and Tired and made ready for the
pilgrims This procession takes place on
April s, and his highness the Khedive
the ministers, high officials and notables
all take part in the ceremony.
The train which conveys the holy car
pet and its escort to Suez leaves on May
16 and usually presents a very gay appear
ance.
AT Suez the carpet and its guard Of
honor are conveyed on board the pilgrim
ship, along with fearful rush of rag
tag and Dobtail who have no respect for
government regulation concerning the
Egyptian pilgrims. In addition to the de-
vout pilgrims, the camels and horses there
are always one or more beggars or buff
foons who accompany the caravan and
man or woman to take care of the cats
which are carried all the way there and
back again.
The Mahmel is a curious feature of The
pilgrim train and perhaps the most strik-
ing. 1t is carried like the Ark of the
Covenant at the head OF the procession.
1t looks not unlike the elephant how
dab, in spite of its pyramid at top. Its
frame work is square and its covering
black brocade richly worked with inscrIp-
tons; the Suhan's thumb mark and
view of the Kaaba are embroidered on
the front
The MAMMAL is considered a sacred OBJ
ject by the faithful who jostle the crowd
in their efforts to touch 1t with their
hands: women let down their shavis a
headveils from the latticed windows in
order that they may receive a BLESSING
from contact with it. Directly behind the
Mahmel there always rides a half-naked
sheik who rolls his head from side to
side necessarily.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS.
A Bird That Lived Fifty-Two Years
without Tasting Water.

without Tasting water.
The Oldest living creature in the world
belongs to Walter Rothschild. 1t is
giant tortoise, Weighing a quarter of
ton. and it has a known life of $50 years.
one of the longest lived birds on rec
ord died recently in London. 1t was
parrot named Ducky, the property of the
Prince of Wales, and was a century and
quarter old Up to eighty years of age
elephants are useful members of society.
Some animals can live many years with
out water. A paroquet lived f1fty-two
years in the London Zoo without tasting
a drop of water. A number of reptiles
live and prosper in places where there is
no water.
That sleeping or waking, snakes never
close their eyes is a curious fact.
When a chameleon is blindfolded 1t loses
all power of changing its color, and its
entire body remains of a uniform tint.
The lantern fly of Surinam, South Amer
lea, has two sets of eyes, so as to catch
the light from all directions. 1t is much
more brilliant than our FREELY.
Ants have brains larger in proportion to
the size of their bodies than any other
living creature.
There are several varieties of fish that
cannot swim. In every instance, they are
deep-sea dweliers, and crawl about the
rocks using their tails and fins as legs.
There are three varieties of the dog that
never bark-the Australian dog, the
Egyptian, shepherd dog and ''lion-headed'
dog of Thibet.
The elephant has 10000 muscles In his
trunk alone, while man has only ST. In
his entire body.
In China carrier pigeons are protected
from birds of prey by an ingenious little
apparatus consisting of thin bamboo tubes
fastened to the birds bodies with thread
| passed beneath the wings. AS the pigeon
flies the action of the air passing through
the tubes produces a shrill whistling
| sound which keeps birds of prey at a dis
| tance.
The land crabs of Cuba run with great
speed, even outstripping horse.
| 1t takes a snail exactly fourteen days
and five hours to travel a mile.
The California woodpecker will carry an
acorn thirty miles to store 1t.
I The heron seldom flaps his wings at a
I rate Of less than 80 to $50 times a minute.
I This is counting only the downward
strokes, so that the birds wings really
make from $40 to 800 distince movements
| a minute.
The dragon fly can fly backward and
sidelong, and can alter Its course on the
instant without turning.
1t is estimated that there are e2,O5O0O0
horses in the world; 1875, 900 cattle and
| 434, 10000 sheep.
There are over 5000 animals in the Lon
| don Geological garden.
The antipathy of animals for certain
things is unexpainable. but the fact re-
mains, for example, that rattlesnakes have
decided dislike for the leaves of the
white ash. Experiments have shown that
they would rather run over live Goals than
| touch white ash leaves
