The Stars and Stripes game on wAtch
the entertainment is butt ea$ be played
by young or old. erudite or ignorant,
and by any number from fifteen to
forty.
The only things needed are several
boxes Of blank cards, carte de visite
size. The number of these cards re.
quired win depend upon the number
Of players.
Take large number Of the cards
and paste a gilt star on each. On an
other bunch paste narrow stripes of
red. one stripe on each. On the re-
naming lot paste corresponding stripes
in silver This silver represents the
white stripes Of our flag, which would
not show up clearly upon white card
The players are seated around large
table, and the cards are dealt like an
ordinary pack, giving one each round
to each player and one to the pool until
the number is exhausted.
The cards are held figure side in,

what he holds he can make up flag"
that is, IL he holds as many stripes OF
each kind and as many stars as there
are stars and stripes in the American
flag.
If he holds the correct number he sep.
arates these cards from the others in
his hand, shows them to the table, and
then lays them aside. If the cards
dealt to him contain two flags he shows
both to the table and pockets both.

ing begins. Each player borrows from
his left-hand neishbor, and endeavors
by borrowing, to make flag. If any
player gets out of cards he still has the
privilege Of drawing. The person or
the right Of a person out Of cards draws
from the pool. The pool is drawn upOI
in this predicament only.
The ignorance which too many Amer
leans are guilty Of with regard to theiI
country's emblem cannot fail to come
to light in the Stars and Stripes game
and is provocative Of much amusement

The introduction Of American maize
into France, according to a report to
the Department of State, has greatly
stimulated the fattening of goose-livers
for the American market There is a
large and steady demand in this coun-
try for the French pate de foie gras,
and consequently there is a continuous
and profitable employment for patient
goose-herders, who tether Mrs. Goose
by a three-foot string TO a stake and
feed her cornmeal mush as often as
she will eat it. When this rich diet
and lack of exercise have caused her
to get fatty degeneration of the liver,
she pays the penalty with her life, and
at the post-mortem examination her
liver is taken out, to be done up with
the livers of her sisters and her cou-
sins and her aunts in tin boxes for the
American trade.

gress Of the game to answer any ques'
tlons with regard to the formation OF
the flag. If any player is sufficiently
ill-informed to play seventeen stripes
and eight stars and call it flag" his
cards are forfeited. They go back into
the pool. The player knows that he
has made a mistake, but his enlighten'
ment on the formation of Old Glory is
prohibited. He must try again and
endeavor to ascertain the number of
each Of the figures.
Play, Of course, goes on rapidly
drawing, matching and laying up,
There is plenty Of time between the
drawing and being drawn from to de-
termine whether or not one has the
elements of flag in ones hand.
A certain time, say one hour or one
hour and a half, in which to make
flags should be announced in advance
The player who at the end of that time
has formed most banners carries of
the prize. The prize should be rehec
tive in some way of the nature of the
evening. A little volume on the his
tory of the flag and other patriotic in
sigma would make good choice fol

would appropriate pretty lamp-shade

In Essex, England, lately a child died
from diphtheria. The little girls school
fellows were allowed to kiss the body
as it lay in the coffin. OF course, other
deaths among the children soon fol-
lowed. No more cruel sacrifice to un-
thinking sentimentality could be i'm
agined The ability to control ones
emotions increases, other things equal,
with knowledge and refinement. The
higher a MAI is in this scale the more
he commands his stronger feelings.
The undertaken is of more Importance
among the poor, where his plumes, and
until quite recently his paid mourners,
were always in demand. Misguided
and unregulated sentiment in one way
and another, says the Lancet, claims a
long annual list Of victims, from the
poor girl who jumps into the river be-
cause she is unloved to the smallpox
victim who will not have matter from

There is a touch of gallantry not Of
ten found in the Congressional Direc-
tory, where each member records his
autobiography, in the story of the life
of Robert w. Davis, of Florida. He
tells of his early struggles and subse-
Quent achievements, and in the latest
edition of the Directory adds: Before
reaching his majority he was married
to Miss Peter Mercer, and to her influ-
ence is due whatever Of success he has
attained" Many other members doubt.

the only one to make public confession

half an hour for puzzling out these
nlcknames.
America has her twelve wonders as
well as the countries of greater an
tiquity. How many Americans can
give these as readily as they can name
the remarkable things to be seen in
Europe? The next number on the pro-
gram goes to decide this question. Each
side Is asked to name the twelve most
wonderful things of North America,
and to the side showing best Judgment
the coveted point" is awarded.
1t would be well for the hostess to
prepare in advance list Of the twelve
most wonderful things to be used as
reference. For while no list can be in
contestably correct, a standard in play
ing the game viii be necessary. Among
the wonders" the following would
probably be reckoned most notable:
Niagara Falls, Mammoth Cave, Yosem-
ite Valley, Lake Superior, Brooklyn
Bridge, Fairmount Park philadelphia,
Capitol at Washington, Luray Cave,
Natural Bridge over Cedar Creek (Vir-
ginia), Washington Monument, Central
Park and the Missouri River.
With this contest the mental Olym.
plan games come to an end and the
papers are examined. The points won
throughout the series are then counted.
The corps winning the most points
draw among themselves for the prize.
Red, white and blue are capable of
such effective grouping that the pa
triotic table ought to be particularly
axtistic and attractive.
Red and white carnations banked
with yiolets form the centrepiece. In
stead Of boutonnielTes each participant
finds at his or her cover a red, white

Australia contains vast area or
land. Although an island, its proper
tions are large enough to class it as a
continent. But the interior is little if
any better than n desert, Only fringe
around the seaboard is available for
agriculture. 1t contains no great lakes
or big rivers, and over the major part
of its area the rainfall is too light to
produce vegetation for the support of

According to the Medical Record the
Health Officer Of Louisville, KY, has
aroused the ire of the Germans by plac-
ing ban on limburger cheese. He
says the cheese is regularly so full of
microbes as to be a menace to the
health of the community, and he has
issued an edict that any one who makes
or sells 1t will be prosecuted to the full
extent Of the law. Limburger to per-
sons Of weak stomach and sensitive OIL
factory organs, says the Record, has
long been an abomnauon, but to the
robust son Of Germany, whose diges-
tive apparatus can asslmllate many
wonderful and weird foods the Belgian
cheese is a bonne bouche to be highly
desired. Undoubtedly a ripe limburger
is in a state Of puTfacton, and is not
so wholesome an article Of diet as n
fresh cheese, but the Louisville Health
Board officer has probably exaggerated
the dangers likely to arise from its con.
sumption.

An Independence Day Lunch
By L. A. BROWNE.

BY Il. A. BROWNE,
TY HE complaint has Otter
been made by very young
ladies. and frequently by old
er young ladies, that the
Fourth Of July was a day much more
enjoyed by boys and young men than
by the members Of their sex. Thert
are ways, however, in which the young
lady may both enjoy and celebrate thu
occasion. An Independence Day party
is one Of these.
Once assembled at the home Of th(
hostess. the guests may enjoy them
selves by any Of the customary meth
ods adopted by young ladies upon such
occasions, They should, however, weaI

white and blue sashes or ribbons, and 9
