Progressive Peanut Party.

A progressive peanut party is con-
Quoted after the manner Of Jack
Straws. For this purpose small tables
are arranged at different points of the
room, according to the number OF
guests invited, allowing each table to
four players. In the center of each are
piled up a pint of peanuts, and by its
side a pair of bonbon tongs, which can
be purchased for a few cents each. At
a given signal. or by the sounding of
gong, the game is begun and played on
the same principle precisely as the
old-fashioned Jack Straws, the peanuts
taking the place of the straws, while
the tongs take that of the hook. Time
is called, and the scores kept similar
to any progressive game, when the
winner for each table mounts up to
the next, and another game is begun.
At the conclusion of the allotted time
scores are compared and prizes award
ed to the lucky ones, the same regular
ity being preserved as in cards.

As they journeyed up the roadway

he shouted, and it seemed as if every

In three minutes they had taken the
waggonette into one hundred and sew

much as scratching one bit of paint or
losing a solitary screw. They laid
them all out neatly on the stony road,
and the boatswain's mate, after in

cycling suit. March is the first spring

All bicycle suitings are light weight
this year and the necessary weight is
added by braided trimmings. Brown

the colors most in vogue-when plain
colors are used-but mixed suitings
will be employed in the building of the

are being resorted ~ do away with the
least superhuouS wrinkles. Under
clothes, in accordance with the cut of
the gown, are made extremely narrow
but one petticoat is worn, and that is
fitted with a glove-tight, bell-shaped
top, and corsets are worn over all the
underclothes. This scheme of wearing
the corsets over the underskirt is one
that has been advocated by modistes
for some tine. What is entirely an in
novation, though, is little device, too
siml e to patent, but that will be easily
recognized as a boon. The tight dress
skirt if of smooth cloth invariably
shows the outline Of the corset beneath
it. The device referred to obviates
this so easily that one wonders why
nobody ever thought of 1T before. IL
is just a band of silk elastic sewed to
the bottom of the corset. The elastic
should be fully an inch or more wide.
1t must be stretched while being sewed
on, placed, of course, on the outline OF
the corset and stitched with the CEN
ter of the band exactly covering the
corset edge. In this way the elastic
extends hall an inch below the corset
and completely grasses the outline.
Ball robes are gorgeous in heavy
satin embroidered with small spangles,
but the embroidery may not be heavy.
The spang!es are of the finest and
worked in a graceful tracing-not in
solid mass. The style is somewhat
after the empire.

Take up the white mans burden,
And blow in your hard-earned tin
For Goldfish and canned tomatoes
To fatten your wife's lean kin;
Her aunts and her wicked uncles
Are coming to drive you wild:
These half-starved sullen people,
Half devil and half child
Take up the white mans burden,
And fill up your house with hunks.
That kinfolks may sleep in comfort:
They're coming with bags and trunkSJ
They're coming to stay all summer,
To die in your yard next fall
These kalf-shot, sullen people.
Half stomach and half gall.
Take up the white mans burden,
And sit on the porch and swear.
For kinfolks will the sofa.
And loaf in your easy chair.
They'll eat all the pies and doughnutAs
And you must subsist on prunes-
These fne-haired silken kinfolks,
Half pelicans and half looms.
Throw down the white mans burden,
And get a breech-loading dog
To mangle the first relation
(Half crocodile and half hog)
Who comes with his ten valises
And seventeen tourist trunks,
To eat up your canned provisions.
And sleep In your ill-spared hunks.

A Fighting Snake.

Don't wake up a mOccaSin," seems
| to be the moral of an experience u lder-
gone by a southern correspondent Of
the Forest and Stream while fishing
one day in a bayou of the Pearl river.
He says:
My end of the boat had turned to-
ward the nearest bank, which was dis
tant about thirty feet, and lying asleep
on log at the waters edge 1 noticed
a moccasin of very fair proportions.
Signaling to my companion, 1 point
ed to the snake, that he might hold the
boat steady while 1 tried a shot at it
with a sInnIl pocket pistol-a twenty
two caliber-that we always carried on
our trips, and in the use of which con-
slant practice had made me very ex
pert. The snakes head was not WISH
BILE, so 1 concluded to try a shot at the
thickest part of the body, which show
ed clear on the highest part of the log,
presenting fair mark that could hit
nine times in ten.
AS 1 fired, the boat must have moved
slightly, for my shot struck one-half
inch lower than 1 intended. Instead CT
going through the snakes body it Went
! between it and the log, and must have
felt very much like hot iron, to Judge
by his actions.
After quick shiver and full-length
squirm, he began to bow his back and
spit like an angry cat
This was SO unusual that it amused
us very much, and we sat laughing
heartily for a moment or two, expect
ing every instant that the snake would
take to the water and disappear.
Suddenly the snake swung round,
with it's head stretched in our direc-
ton and plunged into the water, but
did not disappear. Threshing through
the water like mad, he made straight
for me with an air of business that
cured my attack of laughter promptly
and effectuGlly.
Straight on he came until he was bu.
few feet from me as L sat in the boat,
and then l recovered my powers of lc-
comotion, and most ingloriously fled
There was no choice of routes. so
straight down the long, slender boat 1
dashed toward the end my companion
occupied, clearing the middle seat with
jump that nearly drove the bottom
out
My companion had started up with
startled cry to Look Quit" and had
grasped a heavy paddle lying in the
bottom of the boat; but seeing me
bearing down on him in a wild fight,
that was certain to carry us both over
the end of the boat into twenty feet of
water, he dropped the paddle, stopped
low and caught me with an approved
football tackle-hold just above the
knees, and together we fell with a
crash against the end seat, my head
striking with such force that I was
rendered almost unconscious
Springing to his feet my friend
snatched UP the paddle and ran to
the end of the boat from which l had
fed, and found the snake still in pur-
suit, although the boat had moved
some distance from the impetus given
by the sudden arresting of my flight.
Not until he had received a blow that
almost disabled him did that pugna-
cious s,rrent retire from the attack.

crawled out on the very log on Which

There was once a little boy.
And his name was Hunky Dory,
And he used to ask his mother
Every night to tell story!
Then she'd pretend to SILVER.
And to shake, with awful fear,
And she's say: ooh, dear, 1 never
Told a story, Hunky, dear"
Then Hunky used to ponder
On his little mothers knee;
And then he'd say: "a truly one,
