NEW FORM OF WRESTLING.
After a Little Practice, Boys Fond of
Athletic Exercise Will
Enjoy the Sport.

The boys down east have a new sport.
Wrestling has always been a fine ex-

a good deal of thinking, as those who
have wrestled know. There are a good
many kinds of wrestling, too, but foot

new.
Two boys stand facing each other.
Each stands on one foot. With the other
foot each boy locks heels with the other
boy. From then on it is a test of skill
in balancing and of which boy is the
better thinker. Strength has not so
much to do with this sort of wrestling

THE LEGEND OF THE CROW.
His Once White Feathers Were
Turned Black Because He
Had a Black Heart.

Way back in the beginning. dearie,
when the earth was fresh, and beasts
and birds Lad the best of 1t, the crow
was very different from what he now is.
In the first place, his feathers were as
white as snow. His voice, too, was one
of the most beautiful in the bird king
dom.
But something happened. From
somewhere, no one knew exactly how
or when, strange stories were whispered
about Crow which set all the birds nod
ding their heads and chirping to each
other in mysterious tones.
Queer things were happening. Crow.
who had always been one of the best
beloved birds in the forest, stole away
from his companions to be by himself.
Oftentimes, when Lark or Robin sur
prised him as he perched upon the limb
of a tree, or walked stealthily through
the grass, he appeared frightened, and
flew away to the thickest part of the
thick forest.
The birds could not understand Crow.

. JAPANESE TEA-DRINKINc.
New Form Of Afternoon Entertain
ment for Ladies Which Is Be-
coming Quite Popular.

The war In the east has introduced q
new fashion in serving afternoon tea.
The pretty five o'clock function Is now
arranged not on the American or the
European, but strictly on the japanese
plan.
In some cases, says the st. Paul Globe,
the hostess pursues the idea so far as
to adopt Nine. Chrysantheme's costume
and receives her friends seated on a
cushion. However, it is in no way neces-
sary to success in the entertainment,
which can be made altogether charm
ing by simply arranging the little table
or tray in cherry blossom style.
Instead of a cloth, to be truly japanese
you must use a covering of crinkly tissue
paper-white, pink or tinted, according
to fancy. Well chosen, this paper fur
nishes a good background for anything
placed upon 1t.
1t is sometimes possible to ecu
plates of pressed paper, in blue and
white designs, which are just the thing
for the purpose. Failing these, Japan
csc blue and white china can be secured.

tional expense, the wee blue and white

UNIQUE COZY-CORNER SEAT
Ingenious Housekeeper Tells How She

Then came the question: What shall be

RENOVATINC A STRAW HAT.
It's Easily Done and Usually with Re-
suits Pleasing to the Eco
nomical Owner.

There Is nothing to prevent every girl
from having a stylish and becoming hat,
IL she has an old straw hat and any idea
at all of trimming, as nearly all trimming
used in millinery can be cleaned and
freshened, and any good straw hat can
be brought up to date by changing the
color or by altering the shape or style
of trimming.
The popularity of the fancy straw
braids helps out wonderfully in trans
forming an old hat, as n or two rows
Of the braid sewed TO a narrow brim
may broaden it to the fashionable
widths, and the braid comes in every
grade and color. If the crown is lot
of the required size, but the brim is
wide, the crown can be removed and a
new one made of silk or tulle, and fin
ish the edge Of the brim with a mar
row quilting of the same material as
the crown. A lovely summer hat was
made from an old white chip by max
ing a new crown of green and white
chip and net weave, which was bought
for 25 cents, and a two-inch green chip
braid was added to the brim, and the
new crown and edge were sufficient trim
ming for the hat.
To clean a white straw hat that has
become much soiled, first scrub it with
a good suds until there is no dirt left
on 1t, then rinse and dry in the air,
and when perfectly dry wash the straw
with a solution of oxalic acid or the
white of al egg well beaten.
Another way to bleach the finer
straws is to carefully scour with warm
water and corn meal, then apply a
paste of sulphur and lemon juice and
place in the sun to dry. If one can
afford new ribbons for hat trimming,
the old car be cleaned and used for
neck ribbons, and if faded they can be
colored any of the rich dark shades
with the diamond dyes for silk, and the
dye for wool is used for Frightening up
colOred hats that have faded, by dis
solving it in a little alcohol and ap-
plying to the hat with a soft brush.
New life may be added to the straw
by means of a little stiffening, and after
the entire surface of the hat has been
evenly colored 1t may be given a coat of
thin varnish.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.

Dog Proves His Gentleness.

From Prague is reported an anus
Ing trial in which a dog played the
leading part. The owner of the dog
was sued by an engineer, who claimed
damages for a bite from the animal.
He also denounced the dog as vicious.
At the trial a veterinary surgeon who
was called in tried the utmost to irrf-
tate the dog by teasing him, but the
animal kept his temper. The COM
plainant then demanded that in order
to test the dogs real disposition his
owner should be turned out of court
and the dog let loose among the au-
dience. This was done after the dog
had been muzzled. The dog, however,

Salt as a Home Remedy.

Salt serve admirably when it is de-
sired to apply either dry or moist heat
for a considerable time. The virtue
of an ordinary poultice is due to moist
heat. Now, the great drawback 10
such a poultice is that it soon gets
cold. If we place owe 1t a bag of very
hot, dry salt the poultice will retain
its heat for hours, provided the part
be well covered. A flannel bag will
suffice. The salt should be heated on
a plate placed in the oven or on a
stove. More warmth will be quite use
less; the heat should be too great for
the hand 10 bear. Between the poul-
tice and the salt bag a layer of flannel
should be placed. Another way OF
using the salt bag is to let the fierce
heat pass away, and to apply the bag,
without any poultice, over a layer of
flannel.

thin that the white almost showed
t~hrough-was applied.
The hinged side was removed and
firmly fastened to the back, making that
the height of the ends. The legs were
then sawed off, to make it a convenient
distance from the floor to use as a
seat.
A quantity of hair-an old hair mat
tress, in fact-made a box cushion for it,
looking exceedingly well covered with a
green burlap having a large, sprawling
pink rose upon it. With a long darning-
needle and some pink floss the cushion
was tucked in squares, the ends being
tied tightly before cutting.
Next was made a very thick pad the
width of the sides and ends of the crib,
and just long enough to upholster them
neatly. This was also covered with the
green burlap, tackled firmly to the top
and bottom, and finished with up

think so, but try it once. You will be
surprised at the s~uddenness of your sit
tings.
You can stand on either leg and wres-
tie with the other. Some prefer the right
leg to stand on, thinking it firmer, but
a we~ll-developed boy should find no
difference.
Direct pulling seldom wins the bat
tie. 1t takes better generalship than
that. A pull would merely make the
other boy hop forward a little and give
you q chance to fall forward. You might
try a quick swing to the right. Your
opponent will then swing to his right to
balance; then jerk your foot suddenly
toward you and you will have a chance
to crow over the other fellow as he hits
the ground and wonders what happened
to him.
Another trick is-if your adversary
should swing his leg far to the right,
forcing you to your left, you should hop
quickly to the left. Then hop forward,
pushing your ankle against his, and I'M
less he has been as quick as you he
will tumble over to the left, and, ker-
iop-there he is on the ground again!
Nonresistance is a good policy, too.
Get your opponent tired out without
fighting him, and then a little shove Or
Jerk will do the business.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

cups can be new ones purchased Spe-
cially for the occasion, and can after
wards be distributed among the ladies
as souvenirs.
The Japanese teapot - these al
sometimes be rented. if the family cup
board does not boast one-is a wealth OF
decoration in itself.
Table or tray, whichever is used,
should have a Japanese vase with a slen-
der spray of blossoms cherry or
plum are perhaps most characteristic.
If natural blooms are not g~ettable, the
oriental shops can be depended on to
furnish a budding spray or two closely
resembling those of nature. A pretty
fan adds to the decorative scheme.
The refreshment dainties are never
restrictedly Japanese, although one or
two foreign dishes may be introduced
for picturesqueness' sake. American
tastes, cosmopolitan though they are.
would not take kindly to some of the
most familiar bonnie pouches of the is
land kingdom.
At the real Japanese feast there would
be no bread, but the American hostess
will modify this rule, admitting dainty
sandwiches. Waters of u~nleavened
bread add an oriental touch. Ices figure
among the sweets, and tea, hot or frappe,
according to season. A small dish OF
Japanese candied fruits forms another
item on the menu.
Cards for a tea-drinking of this orig
inal plan should be written on Japan
csc paper, which may be purchased for
the purpose at any japanese shop or
large stationery establishment.
The recipe for waters of unleavened
bread is added here for the sake of the
entertainer who is unfamiliar with them,
and who would like to add this new
delicacy to her programme of edibles.
Chop two tablespoonfuls of butter
into two cupfuls of sifted flour, and put
with it enough iced water to make a.
stiff dough. Roll out very thin,
cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
and roll out each of these to the thin
ness of paper. You may call them pa
per waters if you like, to carry out the
idea. Flour a biscuit pan and bake in
a quick oven.

II PRoUD BUN.

The baker-man was kneading buns
His trough was deep n wide
When, much to his surprise, he heard
A small voice by his side.
"Oh, make me large and fat" 1t said.
"And stuff me full of plums,
So that / may attract applause
From every one who comes.
''Oh, put a piece of citron in.
And make me rich and rare.
That / may serve for dukes and earls
Who sumptuously do fare"
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big,
But thought: "Ill put in everything.
And let him run his rig!'
He put in all he had on hand.
And made him rich and rare.
And set him in the window-pane,
To make the natives stare.
For. swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and plums and pride,
He scorned the ~doughnuts, pies and cakes
And showed them aside.
I'm waiting for the duke" he said,
with whom I am to 6ine!"
Just then two newsboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
"My eyer they cried. come over here
And see this jolly bun;
Let's buy him for our supper. quick!"
And so the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had at easy rates;
1T Is Ill to wait for dukes and earls
In these United States.
And when the baker kneads his dough,
If then you are begun,
No matter what he may put in,
You'll always be a bun!

were far toe innocent to mistrust evil
of one of their number. But things be-
gan to look funny.
One day the Fairy Queen, who was
very friendly with the birds and flow
ers, disguised herself as an old, lame
sparrow. Just at dusk she came to Crow
and begged to share his nest for the
night. Crow closed n eye and looked
her over critically.
Share my nest?" he repeated. There
is no room for such as you"
But l am old and lame, and very,
very feeble. Ipray you take me in"
"Pshaw!" snapped Crow. Don't
come around here disturbing honest
birds with your pleadings."
The sparrow brushed away tear with
her wing. Unwilling to believe that
Crow was wholly bad, she continued:
81 am faint and hungry; will you not
give me some of the food concealed 10
your nest?"
NO! mo-" replied Crow. 'It is mine;
why should 1 feed a stranger? l shall
need this myself in the morning"
hAdI CACldllACu LuC II III dS SIG
recoiled shudderingly from Crow.
where did you get that little robin?
Do you rob your friends of their young?"
NO" spluttered Crow in confusion,
trying to hide the dead bird with his
wing. "I-I-found it. Yes, l found it,"
In an instant the lame sparrow dis
appeared, and the Fairy Queen in all
her dazzling beauty stood before him.
Crow opened his mouth to explain, but
the Queen motioned for him to be silent.
Then she called softly to the other birds.
From all over the forest they came and
alighted on the bushes and trees around
her, till there was no room for another
one.
Crow hung his head guiltily. The
Queen, with tears of sorrow in her eyes,
to the assembled birds.
ct grieves me to learn that Crow,
whom all have loved and trusted, has a
bad heart. Disguised as a lame spar,
row, l asked to share his nest, but he
refused"
"Oh!" moaned the birds.
Hungry, l begged for food. Although
he had plenty, he gave not a morsel."
"Shocking!" chirped the birds, open
ing and closing their wings silently.
81 found a dead robin in his nest,
''Terrible!" shrieked the birds in
my friends, he-he-stole it, and he
it."
The birds bowed their heads in grief,
while Crow trembled so badly that two
blue jays were obliged to hold him on
the limb.
HE must suffer the consequences"
continued the Fairy, looking lovingly at
the birds. Listen, this shall be his
BECAUSE he has a black heart, his
shall no longer be white, but
black as jet. As he refused one whom
be supposed i'll and hungry, he shall be
to steal his food for the remainder
Of his days. Farmers shall make wa
him, and shoot him as he pulls
up their corn.
Because he used his voice in telling
untruth, he shall never more be
among the song birds. The
only noise he shall make will be a hoarse
Jaw. And it shall ever be thus, for so
he Fairy Queen has willed it."
$50 be it," echoed the birds, disap-
in the thick forest.-Isadore C.

WHAT was the trouble with that
w multitude? What is the trouble
with multitudes to-day, that they will
not seek the Lord for the higher needs
of the soul rather than for the needs
of the natural man? A few days be-
fore the experience set forth in our
text, Jesus had been talking with the
Jews, many of whom were doubtless
among those to whom the rebuke of
our text was spoken. At that time He
said: "Ye will not come to Ne that
ye may have life," and this perhaps is
the best and most complete explana-
ton which could be offered for their
unbelief and hardness Of heart. They
would come for the loaves and fishes,
but they would not come to the Life
Giver that they might obtain the life
more abundant. When the reason for
unbelief is reduced to its last analysis,
it amounts to just this, "Ye will not"
The multitude was blind because it
would not see; it was Indifferent be-
cause 1t would not be quickened by the
presence; it was unresponsive
to the needs of the soul because it
would not turn from the material
things of this life. And so it is with
people to-day. The will Is in the way.
1t puts first the natural desires, and
places second the needs of the soul.
The will rules and crowds out the rule
Of the blessed Christ. There is some
thing annaIling in the thought of how
near that multitude came to Jesus and
yet remained Indifferent and unrespon-
sive to the eternal life which He was
so eager to give. And what tragedy it
Is that souls to-day come neal to Je-
sus, hear His message delivered, re-
ceive of His temporal bounty, and still
dead, when the Divine life OF
Christ might flow through them IL they
only would seek JeSusl
