a Noiseless Ring Game.

The small rubber rings that are used
in every household with which to seal
preserve jars may be made the means
of much enjoyment when Il lively game
is desired for the amusement of friends.
First obtain smooth head of a flour or
sugar barrel, and see that the pieces are
all fastened together, forming circular
board, or any smooth board about Il
square foot in size will serve the pur.
pose.
Procure ten coat hooks of medium size.
and secure them into the board ana mark
above each hook its number. ranging
from No. l to No. 10. \ hole may be
made in the upper end of the board or
screw eye inserted, by which to hang
it upon the nail in the wall
No. 10 is a sort of bullseyc, and each
player being given three Of the rubber
rings, takes turns in throwing them from
a position about ten feet away. endeavor-
ing to hook as many on the board as
possible y score is kept of the points
gained by each player. the one first get
ting 100 points being the winner. How
ever, exactly 100 points must be made
For instance, if player has 30. he has
to work for hook No. /. as any other
hook would carry him over the mark
This difficulty adds to the interest OF
the game
The advantage of the game is that no
noise is made nor damage done by the
rings and it may he improvised by any
boy or girl.

a Hint to Mothers.

Advice generally given to girls runs
something like this, Girls, do not keep
anything from your mothers" At which
the young girl shyly winks her eye men
tally and says talso mentally: "Oh, yes,
l see myself telling my mother" And
then it naturally follows that some very
good people have very bad opinion Of
that girl. Now. while do not uphold the
girl, | say that the fault as often is the
mothers as it is the daughters. When a
daughter does leap over the breach and
tell the mother something. which while it
is probably prank is not bad, the moth
err instead of laughing over it first and
appearing to enjoy it and then gently and
carefully point out the error. lifts up her
hands in angry protest and probably calls
her idiotic and senseless. Then it is that
l justify the girl in saying: "Oh, yes. |
see myself telling her anything"
While it is necessary for the mother to
point out the error she must do it so care
fully that the daughter will not be hurt
or even made so ashamed that she will
not coniide in her Philadelphia

Dress of Venetian Girls.

One of the greatest surprises that greet
tourist in Venice is the somber raj
ment of the Venetian girl. Most people
are so accustomed to see her cavorting
on the stage of light opera in gaudy hues
and depicted by the artist in colors rival
ing the rainbow that when she is seen in
real life the revelation Of our long dclu-
sion comes with something approaching
shock. Beautiful in many eases we
find her. So far the artists have pre-
scented her faithfully. But in the matter
of attire how far short they have fallen
of the realistic ideal. In her portrait
she has been presented in light frocll
and yellow handkerchief. unlaccd and I'M
tidy, fringed, strung with beads. set off
with flower. having her hair done in the
open air and indulging in the favorite
pastime of goSSping, with gesture of
hands and play of expression.
Really her dress, while not always
black, is generally Of a dark hue. close
fitting and neither short nor long. The
universal open air garment of the towns
woman of all ages is the black shawl.
with deep fringe of silk. folded. with Il
short point above and long point below,
wrapping about the figure from neck and
sometimes from head to foot. Every
woman in Venice follows the latest mode
of dressing the hair. which is another
radical departure from the artists idea.
In general the women of Venice impress
the visitor as demure and trim and far
less fond of color than their sisters in

The normal girl naturally looks for
ward to the time when she will have the
care of home, husband and children, vet,
sad to say, She is often wholly unpre-
pared to assume the responsibilities when
they come to her. To presume to make
home and care for Il family without prep
aration is parallel to Il physician attempt
ing the practice of medicine without
study and with the expectation of gain
ing knowledge from experiments on his
patients. We would be Mortified at the
temcrity of such physician, and yet we
complaccntly leave our girls without in
structon in reference to the highest. ho-
liest duty of womanhood. Uudcr these
circumstances can we wonder that many
homes are absolute failures?
One of the first things Girl should he
taught is that wealth and social position
count for nothnS unless united with pu-
rity of thought and life and honesty of
purpose. Until such standards are re-
quired by young women in choosing their
husbands the marriage relation cannot be

The human body is constantly under
going tissue changes. Water has the
power of increasing these changes. which
multiply the waste products, but at the
same time they are removed by its agen-
cy, giving rise to increased appetite,
which in turn provides fresh nutriment
If you do not accustom yourself to drink
water regularly, you are liable to have
the waste products form faster than
they are removed Any obstruction to
the free working of natural laws at once
produces disease. says the Toronto News,
Great weakness and languor on rising
in the morning are generally due to a
larger secretion of these waste products,
and the remedy is to drink tumhlerful
of water, either hot or cold, just before
retiring. This materially assists the
process during the night and leaves the
tissues fresh and strong, ready for the
active work of the next day.
