The Game of Chase.

Swiss children make believe that
the pursuer in the game Of chase or
tag is invested with an imaginary
evil spirit whose power is subject TO
certain charms. For instance, If they
touch cold iron, gate latch horse
snoe or an iron noil the power OF the
demon is broken. Sometimes they
make gold or silver their charm.
They play 'cross-chase,' in which tne
runner who darts across the patch
between the pursued and the pursuer
becomes the. object Of the catcher,
and the former one goes free. Again
if the runner squats he is free, or, ne
may squat three times and after that
the charm is lost. The chaser often
disguises himself and unless the cap
tive can guess who he is the captive
is banished from the game. They also
play 'turn-cap"-the chaser wearing
his cap with the lining outside.
Another Swiss game is called Pot of
Gold. One of the swiftest runners
takes a stick and pretecds to dig for
a pot of gold. He works away for
few minutes, then cries out i've
found it" and runs away with it at
the top of his speed. He has the ad-
vantage of q few PAGES at the start,
for while he is digging the otner
players are grouped behind him at
least one rod distant. The player who
catcnes him gets the pot of gold and
becomes in turn subject to robbers.
This keeps every player on the chase
continually.

THE SECRET OF SOARING.

A Naturalist Claims to Have Discov.
cred It at Last.
The power Of the condor, the hawk,
the vulture and some other birds, to
sosr without single motion Of the
Wings for hours at a time has never
been satisfactorily explained An
English naturalist, Mr.. j. Lancaster,
claims to have discovered the secret
and by accident. He had been study
ing the subject for Is years without
arriving at a conclusion, when the
killing of a yellow-tailed hawk on
the Flat Top Mountains of Colorado
gave him the solution. A furious for
est fire had been raging In that region
and had filled the air with smoke and
ashes. While he was examining the
hawks feathers he noticed a Pc
culiar stain on the sides of the Quill
between the spicules.
Examination with a powerful Micro
scope showed that the stain extended
along each spicule between the plates.
The downy filaments filling the
double wall-structure of the wings had
the same discoloration. He scraped
oil the stain, and found that it re-
sembled SCOT from stove-pipe, which
showed that the smoke-flled air had
been going through the wings in an In.
cessant stream, carrying the carbon
particles with it.
Here was the secret of soaring re-
vealed to him. A feather is an air
engine consisting of a quill and two
vanes, made Of spicules, between
which are the plates. The spicules
make a channel about one-fortieth OF
an inch in width, and the plates cross
It. There are about one thousand
Of them to the inch, and they are To-
Gated at the outer surface, filling
about tone-hfth part Of the depth OF
the channel. About nineteen-twen-
tieths of the space of the channels IS
open to the passage of air.
The mechanical service Of the
plates, he says, is obvious. The
curve impinges against the air-cur'
rent through the feathers and drives
the bird to the front. Pressure pro-
duced by the normal factor OF weight
is thus made to serve as the motive
power of flight.

THE UNDERGROUND MOISTURE.
The Water Table Has Been Brought
Nearer the Surface.

Nearer the Surface.
One of the interesting Developments
which Of late years have been at
tracting considerable attention in con-
nection with irrigation is the charge
in the underground water level of
irrigated districts. Within the last
few months the United States Geologi-
cal Survey has issued in It's series of
Water Supply and Irrigation Papers
a report of ]. B. Lippincott, resident
photographer by the Survey for Cali
fornia, on the water storage posi-
bilities on Kings River, which con-
tains interesting information regard
ing the underground water conditions
found in the irrigated portion of the
Kings River Valley near Fresno.
The height of the ground water, or
the water table," is the distance be-
meath the surface at which the soil
is found to be saturated with mois-
ture. In the Fresno district the strik-
ing fact has developed that, while
previous to the practice of irrigation
there in 1870 the water table stood
at 60 feet below the surface, at the
present time it is found at from 10
to Is feet, and in places even from
4 to s feet. So high has the water
risen in certain sections that some Of
the cellars near Fresno were flooded
and had to be abandoned, and the
ground water at present stands so
near the surface that roots of alfa--
fa, vines and trees readily penetrate
it and soils are kept continually
moist. Surface wetting has become
unnecessary in many sections.
This condition of saturation repre-
sents the use of an immense amount
of water in irrigation. The total
quantity of water brought to the vi
cinitv Of Fresno, as indicated by the
report, during the seventeen years
between 1879 and 1896 would, at a
very low estimate, have covered the
$4,000 acres, to whose surface water
is applied in irrigation, to an aver
age depth of AZ feet per annum, or
to a total depth of Is feet. Some
of this water has, OF course, been
consumed in sustaining plant life;
more has been evaporated; but the
most of it still permeates the subsoils
of the irrigated region and of the ad-
joining lands.
The abundance Of underground
water has been widely taken advant-
age Of by the inhabitants OF the
region, and over $50 wells have been
sunk, whose individual capacity
varies from small discharge to over
a million gallons. These wells are
used largely for domestic purposes
and for stock, but they are also en-
ployed for irrigation, street sprinkling
and city supply. One of the largest
pumping plants draws water from
we'll 900 feet deep, driven in city
lot so by $50 feet, for the supply of
a city of 10000 inhabitants.

Glasses for the Table.

Nowadays the fashion is TO serve a
different type of glass with each
course at dinner, and thereby display
the varying beauties of shape, coloring
and engraving of ones lavish store.
Some hostesses, who do not go quite
to these lengths, have adopted differ
ent sets of glass to match their various
sets of china, and a new and fashion
able painted glass Tor dinner parties
has come recently into use.
The crystal is very bright and thin,
and adorned with a green, red or blue
band at the edge OF the bowl and on
the edge of the foot, and the owners
initial and some heraldic device are
tainted on the side of every piece.
This is highly ornamented, but care
must be taken not to use red-banded
glass with blue china service, else
there will be anarchy in the carefully
elaborated decoration of the table.
Furthermore. it IS not considered
tasteful, to say the least, to use one
set of glass straight through meal

Tho Electric Lamp.

The electric lamp has kept pace
with the development along artistic
lines that is apparent in all branches
OF household fitments. The incandes-
cent lamp is now admitted to the din
ing table, although until recently the
incandesccnt burner was thought to
shed too pitiless glare to be desir-
able for dining table illumination. The
glare has been ingeniously softened,
and at a recent dinner the electric
lamp, which occupied the centre OF
the table was the most effective decor

pedestal and supporting column were
of silver gilt, around which were
grouped charming female figures in

burners were shaded by glass globes

THE oNE-SHOE RULE.

Experience Teaches In the Retail BOOT
and Shoe Business.
The proprietor of little shoe store
ON the East Side was alone in his
place yesterday when a short, stout
Young man walked in and asked to
look at a pair Of shoes. He had tried
on a number Of shoes when the shoe
dealer looked at him and said:
ave always deal square NIT people
like you. I am acquainted with your
mother. She always gets her shoes
here, und dot is Why you can have dot
pair for ST."
The man laced up the shoes and
was about to tie the shoestrings when
another young fellow came in.
"You stiff," he growled to the Gus
toner, "why did you insult my SIS
ter?"
"You go back to that place or III
punch YOU full Of holes," replied the
man who had the shoes on.
The next minute he received q
punch on the cheek and the fellow
who had done the punching ran out.
The man with the new shoes ran al
ter him shouting. They disappeared
around the corner.
The owner of the store waited hall
an hour and then called his VIE
from their apartments In the rear.

man is a swindler."
"swindler," repeated Becky, 'Vny

FRESH AIR IN COAL MINES.
The Quantity the Miners Need and
and How II Is Supplied to Them.


and How 1t Is Supplied to Them.
In the operations Of coal mining,
which, in the United Kingdom alone,
produce something over 235.O00,O0O
tons a year, and find employment
for nearly three-quarters Of a mil
lion Of people, there is nothing OF
more vital importance than the con-
tinual supply OF sufficient volume OF
fresh air for diluting the noxlous
gases prevalent in the mines and for
enabling the underground workers
to breathe a comparatively pure at:
mosphere. 1t may be said of modern
m,nes that the efforts to provide this
air have, in the majority of cases,
been attended with so much success
that the atmosphere Of modern coal
mine is superior to the atmosphere
Of the forge or factory on the sur
face.
The particular amounts of air re-
quired at the various collieries de-
pend somewhat upon the nature OF
the mine, whether non-gaseous, or
slightly gaseous, or very gaseous; al
so upon the number Of human beings
and animals employed in the mine;
and on the amount of coal produced
which is not always in proportion to
the number of persons engaged there
in.
Taking all classes of coal mines, a
fair and liberal consumption is from
500 to 1000 cubic feet of air per
minute for each human being employ.
ed in the mine. Authorities differ
very much as to the quantity, and
even the lesser of the amounts stated
will, in many quarters, be considered
excessive; but they are not exag-
gerated amounts, and there are ex-
ceptional cases where even the larger
quantity could, with advantage, be
greater rather than less.
Taking the total number of persons
employed in and about the mines OF
the United Kingdom as three-Quart-
ers of a million, nearly 100000 Of this
number will be employed under
ground, and the consumption OF air,
on the lower basis stated, for such
an army of workers will amount to
something like eighteen thousand
million cubic feet per hour, represent
ing in terms of weight more than half
q million tons.
Making a comparison between the
weight of the coal raised and the
weight of air which passes through
the mine in the length of year. 1t
has to be remembered that while
coal production is not continuous, and
in many cases occupies less than half
of each twenty-four hours, and not
always six days in the week, good
ventilation at collieries means that
the current is practically continuous
from January to December 81, day
and night, Sunday and week day. Fol-
lowing out the figures given above,
it is found that the weight Of air
which ought to pass throught the
mines of the United Kingdom in a
year is not less than four thousand
million tons, or something like twenty
tons of air for each ton Of coal pro-
duced.
It is not too much to say that, TAX
ing the coal mines of the world, the
weight of air passing through them
for purposes of ventilation exceeds
the weight of all the minerals raised
even if the generous, although neces-
sary, maximum estimate of one thou
sand cubic feet per minute per indi-
vidual be reduced one-half.-C. M.

Hot Weather Cleaning.

For the bot weather cleaning, when
all unnecessary exertion should be
avoided, quick and easy methods OF
keeping the summer cottage in order
are in demand by the practical house
wife.
Use whiting or ammonia in the
water for washing windows instead
Of using soap.
If the preserving kettle is stained af-
ter putting up the berries, and wash
ing does not remove the brown streaks
use the kettle for boiling potatoes in
their jackets.
Lemon and salt will remove stains
from the fingers after peeling potatoes
or working in the garden.
To keep tinware bright and shining
polish with newspapers occasionally.
When frequently used, the tin will re-
quire no polish beyond that given by
the daily washing and drying.
1t is we'll to remember that hot
water will set grease stains in cloth
ing. If grease is spilled upon aprons
or the white goods of the summer sew
ing become spotted with sewing ma
chine oil in the making wash out the
spots with cold water before putting
into the hot suds.
Blood stains are also quickly re-
moved by soaking and washing in cold
water before using not water or soap.
Summer heat and dampness will
quickly cause mildew at this season,
and it is difficult 10 remove it from
clothing. The best plan is to use a
weak solution of chloride Of lime
about a teaspoonful of lime to quart
of water.
To clean brass bird cages, wash in
cold suds and sprinkle with whiting,
then dry and polish with dry flannel
ard chamois.
To remove white stains and spots
from furniture rub them with spirits
OF camphor. then with flannel wet
with linseeG oil, and finally with dry
flannel.

THE day was when men of prominence
i hesitated to give their testimonials
to proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true to-day of most proprie-
tary medicines. But Peruna Thas become
so Justly famous, its merits ale known to
so many people of high and low stations,
that no one hesitates to see his name In
print recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong Endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
A digniied representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev. E.
G.. Smith does not hesitate to state pub
lcly that he has used Peruna in his family
and found it cured when other remedies
failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith
is supported by an elder in his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ga, writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify to
it's true worth.
my little boy, seven years of age, had
been suffering for some time with catarrh
of the lower bowels. Other remedies had
failed, but after taking two bottles Of Pc
runa the trouble almost entirely disap-
peared. For this special malady I con.
slider it well nigh a specific.

BIRDS ARE BEE.EATERS.
They Only Consume stinsIess Orones
-WorkIna Bees Are Safe.

A gardener complains to me about
the loss he sustains owing to the fond
ness of the pretty little bluetit for
bees. You'd never believe the lot
that little chap snaps up, right OF
the board in front Of the hive" The
spotted fycatcher. charming sum-
mer migrant, whose pretty nesting
and feeding habits I have watched
with great interest, and whom have
found to be a very confiding bird
and one true to his old nesting places,
has also been most unjustly ibcled
and prosecuted for the same reason.
The fact is both these birds DO
take bees, but if the complalnants
followed up the matter they would
find that the birds dare not take
worker bee, because OF its sting, and
they only devour the stingless drones
which are being turned out OF the
hive, or are destroyed by the work
ing bees as no longer necessary to
the economy of the hive, just at the
time when fvcatchers are wanting
these fat drones to feed, their young
with. The swarming season is then
over. Instead Of destroying the use
full insects the birds are actually
helping the workers. And SO they are
the best friends of the beekeeper.
The error of attributing the destruc-
ton of working bees to the action OF
birds is a very old one. In the fourth
Georgic, Virgil writes to the fol-
lowing effect: The bloody-breasted
swallow bears away in her beak the
bees while ON the wing, sweet morsels
for her merciless young" A writer
in an old number Of the Beeheeper's
Journal says: Il saw swallow fly
up to another which was sitting on a
telegraph wire and put something in
its mouth, and then so away; the
other almost Immediately dropped it.
I found it to be large drone.
