A Trip Around the World.

Did you ever play the game called
"Trip Around the World? 1t is the
very thing for children's party. Each
player should be provided with a
small notebook and a pencil. Blank
dance cards, with the tiny colored
pencils attached, are pretty for this
purpose. The leaves should be num-
bered to correspond with various ar
ticles distributed about The room. The
game is then to guess the country or
city designated by each of these ar
ticles A tiny jar OF cold cream stands
for Greece, a miniature pot of baked
beans for Boston; a bottle of perfume
for Cologne; a cigar for Havana, etc.
difficult, but just enough so to brush
up the memories of laggard geograph-
ers. Prizes should be awarded to
those who secure the greatest number
of correct answers. A book of travels,
a travelling cup, g book for notes, good
pictures Of the places named, are all
appropriate souvenirs. When the COM
pany is marshalled for supper let the
little ones find their partners by
means OF duplicate postal CARDS.
These can be had now in the shops
and are very pretty and interesting IN
themselves. Tney boy who gets a
Pixies Peak card takes out the girl
who receives a similar souvenir OF
Uncle Sam, etc. For the table tiny
suit cases or little steamer trunks or
bonbons or foreign conseryes and I'M
ported fruits make pretty ard appro'
pirate faYOrs.

Introduction eff Forks,

The introduction OF forks, which may
be supposed to mark the first step to-
ward some more definite idea of table
manners did not take place until the
reign of James l.. and they were not in
general use until some time after the
Restoration. In Pepys time things
were not very much improved, and at
best each guest was expected to bring
his own spoon and fork to a meal, and
use it throughout without change. 1t
was pardonable in the garruOus diar-
list that when he attended banquet at
the Guidhall in 1868 he left his spoon
and fork at home. He might reason
ably have supposed that the Lord
Mayor and Aldermen OF the richest city
in the world would have been we'll pro-
vided with such things, but doubtless
hey regarded them as an unnecessary
innovation. Many were the tables
says Pepys. "but none i'll the hall but
the Lord Mayors and the Lords OF the
Privy Council that had napkins and
knives, which were very strange. sat
At the Merchant Strangers table, where
we're ten good dishes to a mess, with
pIcntv of wine OF all sorts; but 1t was
very unpleasant that we had not nap
kins or changes OF trenchers, and drank

dishes

Pleasures of Travel.

One Of the charms OF travel, says a

He said his people moved to California

Women Made Strong and Happy

Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs Is FIRE.
quent Cause of Barrenness.
Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarfh From
the System.

TO the woman of ancient Israel not to
become mother was regarded as the
greatest of earthly calamities. To
become a mother-more especially the
mother Of strong, healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman OF
the good old Bible days. Even now, when
maternity is not esteemed as of yore. the
mother Of healthy children is an object
of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors AS compared with ancient
peoples, the average American woman has
a low appreciation OF motherhood. There
are, however, a great many exceptions to
this statement.
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong,
healthy and happy mothers need no added
words of ours to make them convincing.
Catarrh had weakened and impaired their
entire systems. Peruna made them sound
and well.

When the House Burned.

man property holder in New York
whose agent brought her an insurance
policy on her house.
You'd better give me check for
the premium now," he said.
How much is it," she asked.
"A little more than one hundred dol

exact amount.
"Oh, how tiresome!" said the lady.
And I am in such hurry! Tell the
company to let it stand, and deduct it
from what they will owe me when the
house burns down."

Elections In Brazil.

ballots are hardly ever counted, Tor the
government dominates its ticket, and
then, after an election, announces all
its candidates elected "A year or SO
ago." he SAYS, IAN American, who had
settled in Bahia, the second largest city
in Brazil. was made an election clerk,
and was told to bring the returns from
an interior town into Bahia. Alter the
election had closed, the clerk took the
returns and fastened away, guarding
them with the greatest care. He rode
his horse hard for he felt that the suS-
pense would be great at Bahia until the
returns he was carrying were received
What was his chagrin, therefore, to
hand his package over to the chief
election clerk, only to see it thrown
into the waste basket.
Here, what are you doing? nc
shouted.
"Throwing them away was the an
