Many intelligent persons are deferred
from swallowing the seeds Of berries.
grapes and other fruits lest the lodg-
ment Of these small bits Of indigesti-
bleness may induce that dreadful acci-
dent appendicitis. This fear Is utterly
baseless since the healthy appendix Is
protected by valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest seeds
from entering it. 1t is only after in
flamation has already destroyed Its
normal protection that any foreign
substance can gain access to 1t. To
feel compelled to eschew all seedy ber-
ries and fruits is to seriously curtail
ones dietary. and 1t is entirely unnec-
essary. In fact, the free and constant
use of ripe berries and fruits Of all
kinds is one Of the best preventives Of
this dangerous disease.

Whomever 1T" catches has to join him
as catcher, and this proceeds till all
are caught and transferred to the catch
er's side. This game is extremely
simple in organization, but 1t involves
a great deal Of hard running and dodg-
ing, and so Is splendid out-of-door
game. 1t is very old game. who's
afraid of the black MANI" might argue
an American origin, but 1t is also called
"Fish Swim" and "Kimo," the latter
beng probably corruption of some
ancient word which had a meaning
suited to the game.
BLACK and white" is an extension
of the same game, though much more
complicated. The players take sides
and stand at opposite ends Of the
ground back to back. One side is the
Blacks and the other the "Whites."
If IT. calls BLACK" the BLACKS" turn
around and rush for the opposite goal,
the whites" catching as many as pos
sible in transit. If 1T" calls white"
the reverse takes place. and the game
shows how the mental uncertainty as
to whether ut" will call BLACK" or
white makes reaction slow and the
start difficult. This game is excellent
to train quick thought and self-control.
The love of rope skipping by little
girls shows that the love of activity
is inherent in every child. Girls. from
their anatomical construction, cannot
use their arms and shoulders for ath-
letic exercise as boys do. The most
natural athletic development for them
is through the lower limbs. Bows do
not jump the rope, although it is a very
athletic and skillful exercise. because
there is no element of competition in
beat" some one in boys game, but
girls do not demand this element in
their games at all, says writer in the
New York Tribune. They are more
individual In their games, as bows are
more gregarious Boys play marbles
together; girls play iackstraws alone,
although there Is no reason why they
could not learn to play marbles if they
wanted to.

How Lester Was Satisfied.

!. How Lester Was Satisfied.
Lester Maynard had always wished
that he could hear a real Indian war
whoop. He had played Indian with
his friends scores Of times, and their
yells were sufficiently loud and terribly
ing to satisfy any ordinary boy; but
Lester said that they were not 1.-THE

just how a genuine war-whoop sound
ed. He had never seen an Indian.
but he made up his mind that If he
ever did, he would ask him to give u
war-whoop.
When Mr.. Maynard decided to take
Lester with him on his California trip
almost the first thing the boy asked
was. 30. papa, do you suppose we
shall see any Indians and hear some
war-whoops?" And this they did.
While they were passing through
Arizona party Of Indians boarded
the train. and one Of them approached
Mr.. Maynard and said, "Give nickel"
II wonder If he knows how to do the
war-whoop," whispered Lester. and he
was delighted to hear his father say:
"Give us a war-whOop and you shall
have nickel"
The man made an attempt but his
voice was weak. and Lester said, dis.
dainfully. Hob! That wasn't much.

"1f you can sound war-whoop that
will satisfy my boy, l will give you
two nickels," was the reply.
"Yes, we want war-whoopw cried
out several passengers, who had en-
tered into the spirit Of the fun.
The tall Comanche, placing hand on
his mouth, gave more hideous, I'M
earthly yell than Lester had ever
imagined, at the same time diving to-
ward the boy in way to make him
dodge behind his father. All the pas
sengers Joined in the fun and laughed
heartily. They gave the Indian many
nickels. But Lester was not sorry to
see him leave the car.
Lester had heard what he called 1.-The

him.-Youth's Companion.

the Austrian Rechsrath, the rowdiest
legislative assembly in the world.
Wolff was the son of mlddle-class
sity. He failed to take a degree, be-
cause he was always occupied with pol
tiles instead of with his books, and
when he left college he ut once entered
political life by way of Journalism.
Within year or two he had become
the most prominent of Pan-German
agitators. He and his party advocate
the disintegrati0n Of Austria, and the
addition of those Austrian provinces,
In which the majority of the population
are Of German nationality, to the Ger
man empire. The result Of this policy,
If carried out, would be to extend Ger
many to the Adriatic. making her more
than ever the predominant power in
central Europe.
Wolff prOpagated this program of
Pan-Germanism on hundreds of plat
forms and in the press, and organized
formidable Pan-German party in b.
hemia. Some ten years ago he founded
a Pan-German daily paper, the Ost-
deutsche Rundschau, in Vienna, and he

at which he has not caused a scene
of some kind or other. At one Of the
great parliamentary riots toward the
end Of 1897 the police were called in to
arrest Wolff in the chamber, and free
fight took place between him and about
dozen stalwart policemen, which end
ell In their carrying him out by main
force. The same year he fought duel
