side Of the hat place the quarter.
Now. what you wish the company to
do is to knock the hat from under the
quarter SO that the latter will fall into
the tumbler.
Every one that tries it viii be sure
to strike the hat on its brim, but
that will only send It across the room,
and the quarter somewhere. on the
floor.
When the feat has been pronounced
impossible, you make few feints, as

How Children Can Help.

The children of the Princess of
Wales are much interested in a sort
of charity which might engage the
attention of American children.
They belong to THE Happy Even
ings Association" OF London. the pur-
pose of which is to provide pleasant
playrooms in different parts of the
London slums, where the unhappy
little ones who have no homes worth
the name may play at will with no one
to say ''Hush," or otherwise curb their
merriment.
A great many toys and dolls are
given for their amusement. and num-
bers of these are sent by the little
ones Of England's royal family. There
are Indian dolls. dolls from Ireland,
dolls in Russian costumes. and in
quaint Welsh high hats. baby dolls
and mother dolls. nurse dolls in cap

Novelties In Dress.

The shower-proof or rain veil is a
novelty worth considering. 1t is said
to be not only pretty and becoming.
but to afford a practical protection
for the hat over which II is thrown.
Everything is rain-proofed nova
days, even gloves. Chemical treat
ment has been found to render kid i'm
pervious to rain without impairing its
softness and pliability.
High boots are coming in. and Ger
tainly afford good protection from the
elements. The popular height is ten
inches and the shoes come in both
black and tan calfskin.
The variety of umbrella handles is
constantly increasing. and there is no
end to the new and pretty novelties.
One attracting unusual attention is in
the form Of unique little powder box
with mirror in the top.

due to emptiness of the blood vessels
of the stomach and it is pointed out
that hunger is appeased with the rush
of blood to the stomach. following the
taking of food and beginning OF diges-
ton. In many anaemic persons. who
have no appetite when the stomach is
empty. the blood vessels Of the stom-
ach are really congested instead OF
being empty. Lack of blood in the
stomach in health acts on a special
nerve. which is a branch of the same
nerve trunk as the nerves of the
mouth and tongue. A stimulus ap-
piled to the tongue. as by spice. thus
increases appetite. while disease af-
fecting the nerves of the tongue may
produce loss of appetite even when
the stomach is empty.

thinking Up" Names.

This game requires nothing except
pencils and paper, and it is one in
which young and old can join. The
first thing to do is to write list of
names down one side of a piece of
paper, leaving blank space opposite
each.
The names may be something like
the following: Author, actor, general.
river. statesman, color. town, painter,
flower, fruit, etc.
One OF the players chooses letter
Of the alphabet, and every one must
write a name beginning with this
initial opposite each of the chosen
words. II the letter were G the list
might commence as follows: Gold
smith, Garrick, Gordon, Guadalquiver,
Gladstone. green, Godalming, gilly-
flower, greengage. ct does not matter
whether the celebrities are alive or
dead.)
At the end Of ten minutes one of
the players reads the list aloud, and
one mark is allowed for each name
which is common to more than one
list. and two marks for a name which
only one person has thought Of The
person who wins the game chooses the
list of titles for the next, and also
the letter of the alphabet.
II very little children are playing
it is best to choose things which are
easy to think of, such as vegetable,
flower, servant. animal, piece of fur
niture, and the like. c would be an
easy letter to select for a list like
this. as cucumber. cowslip. cook. cat

To Clean JeweIry.

Diamonds may be washed in lath-
er Of soap, rinsed with cold water, and
polished with chamois leather. Just
before polishing rub a little eau de
cologne on the stones. Other precious
stones may be cleaned with cold water
and yellow soap, then lay them in
sawdust to dry. Opals should be
cleaned with wet leather and polish
ing afterwards with precipitated chalk,
finally rinsing in cold water. Gold and
silver ornaments only require wash
ing in cold, soapy water, to which a
few drops of ammonia have been add
ed; leave them in this for an hour and
then rinse in clean water. Ivory orna-
ments, brushes, etc.. should be rubbed
with little peroxide of hydrogen and
placed in the sun to dry.

Good Outdoor Game.

Here is game which will be
especially welcome to the girls. for
the boys have all sorts of outdoor
sports now. Amy number of girls. or
for that matter. boys. can play. as
long as the number is even, but they
should be all girls or all boys.
There are two captains who choose
sides, as the boys do in playing base
ball. As a rule about seven on each
side makes the best game.
Two lines are drawn on the ground
twelve feet or four PAGES apart Each
side stands benInd Il line which is
called the out" line. At the word Of
command from her captain, each girl
stands on her right foot. lifting her
left foot clear OF the ground and keep
ing II there. Then the captains order
their little armies to charge and both
lines hop toward each other. The
object of the game is for one side to
shove the other side back. beyond its
own 'out" line. Each player singles
out another and hops against her,
pushing her with her shoulders and
trying to force her backward over
her ''out" line.
The hands must be kept below the
waist line and not used in pushing. but
they may aid one in keeping balanced
on one foot. An umpire watches the
contest. and If one player touches her
foot to the ground. II only for an In.
slant, she is "out" and must leave the
contest, leaving her opponent free to
help a comrade push back some one
else. AS soon as girl has been
pushed over her sides "out" line, she
is "out" and must stop playing while
the others continue the struggle "
a player holds another with her hands

Confusion Of a Poor Young Man.

One OF the most amusing stories
told Of the tact and kindness of Mis-
tress Dolly Madison is of a country
lad who CHANGED to be present at one
of the White House receptions, and
was surprised in the midst OF his en-
joyment of a cup Of coffee by the ap-
proach Of his hostess. In his confus-
ion the poor boy dropped his saucer
and thrust the cup into his pocket.
Mistress Dolly. who. although her
eyes were keen and searching. never
saw anything that 1t was not intended
she should see. chatted away with her
guest so pleasantly OF the weather. the
crowd. and. finally. Of the young mans
mother. whom she had known or
heard Of, and was soon at ease AMI
ready to accept the fresh cup of cot.
fee which his hostess ordered. despite
a certain curious and unexplained
bulge in his pocket.

out" and must stop playing.
Players from both sides are con.
tinually getting "out" and at the end
there are, as a rule. only few left.
Several girls can combine to push
one player over the out" line and this
gives chance for team work." which
you can safely render very effective.
The game is rot a rough one. owing
to the rules against using the hands.
and dresses do not get torn nor soiled.
II Is game of skill rather than
strength. for a nimble girl who is a
good hopper" can easily force less
skilful opponent to put her left foot
on the ground to avoid being showed
backward. 1t is very exciting and
splendid exercise and the players do
not get thrown down or injured. for
one can always save ones self by put.
ting ones foot to the ground.
The game is designed especially for
girls Of from ten to thirteen years.
for the young ladies OF seventeen or
so feel too grown up" to go about hop

the needle after it is entered, it is
evidence that the needle is in the
cellular tissue, when it must be
withdr lwn and the operation be-
gun over again. If very small
quantity of blood mixed with air
appears, it shows that the point
lies in the wall of the vein, either
in the anterior wall or, more fre-
quently, in the posterior, in which
case it must again be withdrawn.
"When now it is quite certain
that the point of the needle is well
within the lumen and not in the
wall of the vein or in the surround
ing cellular tissue, the syringe,
which has been previously filled
with the liquid or solution to be
injected, is, with the right hand,
attached to the needle, and the pis-
ton slowly and steadily pressed
home, giving it at the same time,
if it does not slide easily, slight ro-
tary movements from right to
left.
"The liquid is carried off by the
blood current as fast as it is inject
ed, without producing even the
slightest swelling at the point of
injection. If any prominence is
can ,ed by the expulsion of the
first few drops, it is proof positive
that the needle is not in the vein,
but in the cellular tissue. when i:
must be withdrawn. There should
be no restiveness on the part of the
animal, as an intravenous injec-
ton is entirely painless if the oper
alton is properly performed.
"The injection being finished, the
needleis grasped at the shoulder
so that both syringe and needle
may be withdrawn rapidly and
with one movement.
"In making the injection on the
right side of the neck, use the mid
die figure of the left hand for com
pressing the vein. The left hand
should always be used for this pur-
pose and the right hand for the
needle and syringe unless the oper-
ator is left-handed, when the re-
verse will apply"
Those who have used this remedy
state that in "a hours it has reliev-
ed, and in a few days cured cases
in horses and cattle that were ap
parently hopeless. The doses are
given every "a hours, and a pecu-
liarity OF the remedy is that even
double dose may be given to
healthy horses or cattle without
producing any i'll effect. 1t is now
standard remedy in Europe, and
is being largely introduced in the
United States.
