tired Of sitting still. After holding
healthy animal spirits in check for the
larger part of day they are likely to
break loose with a rush.
Few sports are better calculated than
potato joust to amuse imprisoned
boys, says the American Boy. 1t has all
the joys of combat. and yet, try as
he'will, there is no possibility for any
boy to become rough.
In the potato joust each warrior is
armed with fork, on the end of which
is potato. The combatants take their
position in the center of the play room,
facing each other. They should be sep
arated by not less than three feet Each
must lift leg from the floor, as shown
in the illustration. The fighters may
use their own discretion as to which
leg shall be lifted from the floor,
and may hold it up with either hand
they like. A small cushion placed I'M
der the knee will add materially to
the comfort of the contestants.
The battle is decided by one Of the
warriors knocking the potato from his
opponents fork. Topping over three
times is also counted as a defeat. If
one Of the knights is obliged to let go
Of his foot in order to keep his balance
it is counted as a fall. Every time the
battle is interrupted in this way either
of the contestants is at liberty to
change the foot he is resting upon. If
one of the warriors falls against the
other and upsets him it is counted
against the one who is responsible for
the tumble.
You are not likely to realize on your
first introduction to a potato joust the
amount of skill aid practice required
to really becorsS expert in handling the
fork. A Sligo turn of the wrist, a
quick push and the ~-acticed knight
will defeat the novice; so deftly so
easily that you are left wondering how
he did it.
Practice is the only way to learn how
he did it. One or two axioms is all the
help can give the novice.
Move your fork as little as possible;
long, sweeping strokes are more likely
to throw off your own potato than to
interfere with that of your opponent
The most dangerous stroke is one
from underneath; always maneuver to
keep your potato below tina. of your
antagonist.

The COUNTRY ROAD.

From the busy haunts OF farmer-fols
Ii starts on Its windtug way,
Goes over the hill. and across the brook,
Where the minnows love to play;
Beside the mill with the water>wheel,
And the pond so dark and deep,
Then up to the tavern and village store,
And the church where the dead lie
asleep.
You would never think that the country
road
From the hfil TO the store, could be
So long to boy with an errand TO do
And another boy to see.
You can never dream how short II Is
From the farm to the frozen pond,
Nor how very much farther II always Is
To the school-house just beyond.
oh, the country road at the father end
1t runs up hill and down,
Away from the woods and the ripping
brook,
To the toilng. rushing town;
But, best of all, when you're tired ana
sick
or the weary haunts of men,
If you follow 1t back 1T will lead you
home
To the woods and fields again.

Mrs. NJ. Lloyd and Mrs. Belle Buck

Der and the fact that they are still In
the land of the living they attribute
to the actions of young kitten. The

the gas, which escaped fom coal

Fashion Notes.

Fine lace effects in silk or Isle still
continue the style in hosiery, but neat
and tasteful as to pattern. Glaring fig
ures or striking ideas are abjured.
1t is said that lace mitts are again
coming to the fore with the advent of
the short sleeve and low neck. They
are found in both wrist and elbow
lengths.
Collars made Of beading and thread
ed through with velvet ribbon whose
ends are tied in tiny bows either in
front or back are simple but pretty for
those who like variety in their neck
wear.
The desire to rustic" such craze
a few seasons ago, has all died out. All
the most attractive silk undersl1irts
are made of soft-fnished silks.
The exaggerated long, pointed waist
in front is no longer good fccm-just
a slight elongation is better style.
Those in the knowing predict a very
strong tendency to velvet effects, form
ing part of the weave in the fashion
able fall textiles.
A strip Of oriental trimming is much
used to cover the plat in the middle
of the front Of shirt waist, but it
must be worn with a stock of the
same material. The strips may be used
merely as a movable decoration, but
if stitched to the waist it is more har-
monious to use them also for the mar
row bandlike cuff.
The elaboration of handwork is
shown in the blouse of the moment
All the best garments of this descrip-
ton, however simple, show a great deal
of handiwork that renders them par
ticularly attractive wear.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES,

The annual report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission says: The
number of persons employed by the
railways of the United States, as re-
ported for June 80, 1900, was 1,017 sos,
or an average Of 529 employees per 100
miles of line. AS compared with the
number of employees on June 30, 1879,
there was an increase of SS,729, or "a
per 100 miles of line. From the CLASH
ication of these employees it appears
that 1887 were enginemen, Al, 100 fire.
men, 29,957 conductors and 74,274
other trainmen. There were 50,7S9
switchmen, flagmen and watchmen
Disregarding 1894 employees not as
signed to the four general divisions Of
employment, it is found that the serv-
ices of 36,451 employees were required
for general administration; S21,946 for
maintenance of way and structures;
1877, 799 for maintenance of equipment,
and 450,063 for conducting transporta-
ton. The detailed report will contain
a statement of the average daily COM
pensation Of the eighteen classes of
employees for nine years, beginning
with 1892. Another summary gives
the total compensation of more than
SO per cent of railway employees, for
the fiscal years 1895 to 1900. During
the year ending June 80, 1900, $577,-
264,S41 were paid in wages and sal
aries, an amount S131, $50 in excess
of that paid during the fiscal year
1895. The compensation of the en-
ployes of railways for the fiscal year
1900 represents 60 per cent of the op-
Grating expenses of the roads and SO
per cent of their gross earnings.
