Game Of %"sauc.1s."

This game is something like blind
mans bluff, and if the day is 4 rainy
one and the room a large, empty one
and the players merry and many so
much the better. The catcher is blind
folded and occupies the center of a
circle formed by the rest of the COM

around. while the catcher recites these
lines:
IT must catch my pigs and put 'em in the
I must catch my pigs and put 'em in the
pen,
I must catch nay pigs and put 'em in the
pen,
AS the last word is spoken the NOV
ing ring stops short, and the catcher
puts out his hand and selects his pig.
This one clutch is all that is allowed.
Then the catcher says:
Hold Before l make my choice.
would hear my captive's voice
The person caught gives Il squeal,
and if the catcher cannot guess to
whom the squeal belongs the captive is
set free, joins hands with the hthers
and the fun begins again. If the catch
er fails three times running to make
the right guess he is out of the game
entirely, but he is allowed to name his
successor, who steps at once to the CEN
ter, is carefully blindfolded and the
game goes on. sE

silk From Wood Fiber.

Artificial silk is now being made in
Europe from wood fiber under an Eng
fish patent. The American consul at
Stettin writes of it: 'The sample
shown me was very soft and of a
cream color. Each thread is made UP
Of eighteen single strands. A single
strand is hardly %perceptible to the
naked eye. AS to the relative strength
of a real silk thread and this imitation,
the real silk is two-thirds stronger. 1t
is said to take coloring or dyeing read
lily and when o into pieces has
the appearance of real silk. 1t is i'm
possible to get samples here or infor-
nation as to the process of manufac-
turing. excepting that no particular
kind of wood is required and that the
pulp u%ndergoes a chemical process and
is pressed through very fine tubes by
hydraulic pressure, forming the single
strands which go to make up the
thread"

NEW O STORIES
The Queen. Revenge.

The late Queen Draga of Seryii once
thought fit to humiliate a, lady who
had not shown the courtesy due from
subject to sovereign. In becoming King
A~lexander's cOnsort Draga gave great
offense to Belgrade's aristocracy. and
even the ladies of the diplomatic corps
resolved that they would not hold any
communication with a queen whose
%upbringing they held had in certain cs-
sential respects been sadly neglected.
But the example of the car of Russia,
whose congratulations were warm and
public, swept away their scruples, and
the royal lady vas duly received,
Still, some of the queens own country
women, declaring that they were made
Of sterner stuff, held out and showed
the royal lady that their memories were
as tenacious as their will.
One of these was the wife of a former
minister of state, and. being also the
president of a Belgrade committee, she
had to appear in this latter capacity
before Queen Draga. When admitted,
together with several other ladies, to
an audience, she feigned utter igno-
rance of the ways of court and thus
managed to escape the sovereign's taper
fingers. Next day she boastingly bruit-
ed the fact abroad. A lady present in
formed her husband, who at once
communicated the matter to the king,
for in Servia, as in most capitals. spicy
gossip spreads like wildfire.
Two days later a royal carriage,
empty, drove up to the door of the lady
who was so chary with her lips. The
servant brought and delivered a writ
ten order from the queen calling on
the recalcitrant fair one to appear at
once at the palace. This
could not well be disobeyed. and, after
all, 1t was an honor which obliged her
to nothing. So she took her place in
the gorgeous vehicle and alighted at
the portals of the Konak. Here she
was about to wend her way to the
royal reception room when she was sud
denly confronted on the threshold by
the queen herself, who, without utter
ing d word. stretched forth her hand
to be kissed. The lady, having no
choice, kissed the monarch's fingers,
whereupon Queen Draga, her eyes fam
ing, stamped angrily and exclaimed.
"And now begone!' The Inundated
visitor took herself away and, finding
no royal carriage awaiting her, had to
walk home.

Not Bastine Threads.

An industrious Little junior who is in
the habit of going into the sewing
room and asking to help mamma is
generally set to work pulling out bast-
ing threads. She is a wee mite. only
six years old, and the other day en-
joyed a visit from her aunt. She was
being entertained by the latter in the
hammock, when all at nee she cried
out:
"Oh, Aunt j., put your head down
on my lap, SO can pull the basting
threads out of your hair. Your head is
full of them"
The child was really hurt when her
aunt laughed at her, and not until she
had been convinced that the supposed
basting threads We're gray hairs was
her wound healed.

giving Auntx Solitude.

Small Ethel's aunty had many cares
and was often heard to sigh for soli-
tude-just an hour of rest and solitude
a day would be to her a priceless boon.
"Aunty," said Ethel suddenly one
day, when l am real rich. when l have
millions of dollars, the first thing l will
do will be to hire a real soldier with q
real gun to stand and guard your door
so you can have all the solitude you
want. l will pay him $1,000 Il week"
Aunty expressed her appreciation Of
the arrangement.
"But, aunty," added Ethel in a sadly
reflective tone, II just know l will be
the first person to get shot."-New

A Remarkable Barn.

Tan Crawley, a farmer of the Coral
Hill country, had a novel experience.
A few years ago he built a small barn
and in it's construction used green will
low posts at the corners and along the
sides. For some time nothing unusual
was noticed, but after a year it was OBJ
served that where he had laid the floor
near the ground it was three feet
above the soil. He then discovered that
the willow posts instead of being dead
were alive and had taken root and
were growing and that in their unto
ward movement they had raised the
barn, says the Glasgow Republican.
Last spring the barn was on stills nine
feet high. and he put in a new floor
and surrounded the posts with siding,
thereby making a two story affair.
There is now a space of twelve inches
between the new floor and the ground.
Crawley expects to have a three story
barn in course of time.

spoon Made by King Peter.

Angelina Nixon Bates, daughter Of
w. 0. Bates of Woodruff place, has u
spoon which vas made by Peter, the
new king of Servia. 1t was sent to
Angelina a year OIL more ago by Mrs.
Alfred Stead, formerly Miss Hussey Of
this city, during her trip around the
world. During Il visit to Paris Mrs.
Stead met Prince Peter. saw his studio,
and, admiring a spoon which the prince
had made, she decided upon it as a
present for her little friend. She wrote
to Mr.. and Mrs. Bates the story of her
visit to the princes studio, intimating
that, for the time being at least, he
was in financial straits and that spoon
making was not altogether a pastime
art with him.
The spoon is of dull, heavy silver and
extremely odd and graceful in shape.
The bowl resembles one corner Of a
conventionalized shell, with radiating
lines on the back. The handle is twist
ed somewhat like a vine, and at the end
there is a flower and seed design sug-
costing the lotus. The cover in which
the spoon came was evidently the work
Of Prince Peter also. 1t is leather,
stamped in design similar to that of the
spoon and bearing in one corner his
