there are three balls to the frame, and
ten frames. II two pins are dropped
with one ball the frame counts naught.
| One pin must be knocked down at a
| time. the first counting four, the second
three, the third two and the fourth one.
AS only three pins will drop by perfect
playing, the highest possible score Is
nine to the frame. Sides were chosen
and excellent scores were made, con-
sidering the lack of familiarity with the
game on the part of the players. The
result was: wheeling" 1853, "Denver'

DEAR FOLDED HANDS.

Dear, folded hands, SO worn with care,
So quiet on the pulseless breast,
Will any burden need you there.
If Heaven is a place of rest?
And you, dear heart, will you forget
The struggles of these lower lands?
Or is there some sweet service yet
For folded hands?
Yours was the never ending task
Born of never-ending need,
Our selfishness, it was, to ask, 4
Your sweet nselfishness to heed.
And now in the unwonted rest
Long promised in the better lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded hands?
No tears to dry, no wounds to bind,
No sufferer to tend and bless
Where will those eager fingers find
A need for all their tenderness?
Yet knowing all they did before,
Perchance the Father understands,
And holds some precious work in store
For folded hands.
Youths Companion.

Cas-.

Acetylene gas is the illuminant in
a device described in Fielden's Maya
zine for use at sea in case of ship
wreck of other accident It consists
of a plain cylinder of metal from three
to eight inches in diameter and from
one to five feet in length. The cylin-
der (sealed at each end) contains in
a wire basket a quantity of carbide of
calcium and an air chamber to insure
buoyancy. At the end of the cylinder
number of burners are arranged.
Adjacent is a small chamber contain
ing calcium phosphide, which, ON con-
tact with water, generates phosphuret-
ted hydrogen, ignites and lights up the
acetylene as it issues. The torch,
which has no mechanism, is automatic
throughout, the only precaution neces-
sary before plunging into water being
the removal of a protecting strip Of
metal by pulling a ring. A six-inch
torch burns from an hour to an hour
and a half with candle power of
1000. Other torches burn from half
an hour to 10 hours, according to size

Idea Worth copYlnu.

Six years ago, when a woman who
had served the town in many useful
capacities died in Deerfeld, Massa-
chusetts, her friends decided to erect a.
fitting memorial. And in place of a.
tablet or fountain or other token Of
small use, they conceived the idea of a
village club room. In The Ladies'
Home Journal Mary E. Allen tells Of
this appropriate and novel tribute and
the way it is conducted 1t consists
of large room with an open fireplace.
coy window seats and low bookcases,
a courtroom, a small kitchen and
closets. The bookshelves contain
free library of about four hundred
books. A piano has been loaned and
some other furniture given. A num-
Der of folding chairs and tables were
bought BY means of these an audi
ence may be seated or, a supper
served. The Martha Goulding Pratt
memorial is owned by regularly in
corporated body controlled by seven
trustees A committee of twelve wo-
men is appointed to see that things
are kept in order.

A clNcH OF SUCCESS.

My child would you achieve success
and stand among the great?
Well l will tell you how to get for
tune while you wait.
First you must read the papers which
espouse the sort of thing;
Subscribe at once for hustle! Snap!
Push Grab Shove! Biff Bang!
Bling!
When you have reached five years OF
age learn Latin, French and Greek.
Sell papers night and morning and
make fifteen cents week;
Invest it in some railroad bonds, as
every smart boy does,
And night or day don't stop to play but
keep things on the buzz.
While running errands read some book
that treats of this or that
Sure Road to Wealth." paste lots OF
business maxims in your hat;
Have hanging up in front of you to
study while you eat
Professor Gadgrind's rules on How
to Get There with Both Feet!"
ways find a place
So when you lie awake at night as
sometimes is the case,
You can improve your mind with drafts
of learning long and deep,
But don't read trashy story books nor
anything that's cheap.
In chiodhood learn to fix your eyes up
on the real main chance,
Do naught unless it pays and try to
get it in advance.
In all that may comfort you let your
Business Motto" be
To ask yourself the question: What
is there in this for me?"
Regard the day as worse than lost that
sees not some amount,
However meager, added to your saw
ings' bank account
Don't pay too much attention to your
conscience or your heart,
But get a lot of money and the world
will think your smart.
So mind these rules and you'll out
strip the foolish little boys
Who love to run and laugh and play
amid their childish joys;
Their golden hours will all be filed
with many childish prank,
While you'll be putting day by day,
good money in the bank!
The while they read their fairy tales
you'll gather vital facts
And cram your head with bushes till
your little noggling cracks.
But when they're poor and living on
farm or in a fat
You'll own a house, a bob-tailed horse.

WHAT CAUSES WRINKLES.
The Face Should be Rested Frequent.
ly Through the Day.

Wrinkles are often due to the shrink
age OF the fatty tissue beneath the
skin. The skin at times needs nour-
ishment, and the appearance of the
first and slightest wrinkle is an indi-
cation that the time has come when
some good skin food may be used with
benefit. Astringent lotions should not
be employed. Their beneficial effect
is but temporary and they injure the
skin. The best preventive of wrink-
les and to preserve a youthful appear
ance is to give the face perfect rest
five or six times during the day, for a
few minutes at time. Do this by
throwing the head back and closing
the eyes. No matter how busy ones
day is, one should find time for this.
If possible, when taking this rest, it
is well to lie down; but this is not
essential. If this advice is followed,
it will prevent that tired, worn look
with which so many women are af-
f1icted.
For an oily complexion, pinch of
wax in the washing water will be
found very beneficial, while for excess
sive perspiration toilet vinegar is
used with the best results. When
perfectly dry, powder well with tale
powder. In every instance pure soap
is of vital Importance. Warm water,
too, is essential, more particularly if
the skin is at all irritable or inclined
to redness. The face should be well
washed at night, SO that the pores are
free. After drying the face thorough
ly, massage the skin with the least bit

FOREST SONG.
A song for the beautiful trees,

A song for the beautifIl trees,
A song for the forest grand,
The garden Of Gods own hand,
The pride Of his centuries.
Hurrah for the kingly oak,
For the maple, the forest queen,
For the lords of the emerald cloak.
For the ladies in living green!
For the beautiful trees a song,
The peers of glorious realm,
The linden, the ash and the elm,
So brave and majestic and strong.
Hurrah for the beech tree trim,
For the hickory, staunch at core,
For the locust, thorny and grim,
For the silvery sycamore!
A song for the palm, the pine,
And for every tree that grows
From the desolate zone of SHOWS
To the zone of the burning line.
Hurrah for the warders proud,
Of the mountain-side and vale!
That challenge the lightning cloud
And buffet the stormy gale.
A song for the forest aisled,
With it's gothic roof sublime,
The solemn temple of Time,
Where man becometh child,
AS he lists to the anthem-roll
Of the wind in the solitude,
The hymn that telleth his soul
That God is the Lord of the wood.
So long as the rivers flow.
So lone as the mountains rise,
May the forests sing to the skies,
And shelter the earth below.
Hurrah for the forest grand
Hurrah for the beautiful trees.
The pride of His centuries,
The garden of Gods own hand.

Handsome braid concentrations are

elaborate decoration than machine

There are deep points and panel
effects for skirt trimmings, with

braids in silk and mohair mixtures
suggest still other decorative pos

Stitching and strapping will be pre-

Cloth bands are used on foulard
gowns, the cloth always matching the
prevailing color in the silk. Yelling
gowns show a novel use of taffeta:
the silk, which always matches the
dress goods in color, being cut in
straight bands, like insertion, the
edges turned under once and joined
to the dress material with an open
stitch, the fabric underneath being
then cut away, giving the effect OF
