FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
A Lemon Party That Affords Much
Amusement.

A novel affair is lemon party.
Here is the way one was recently
carried out: Every guest gave Il
lemon to the servant who opened the
door. These were subsequently,
taken to the kitchen, all the seeds
carefully taken out and collected in
a small glass jar. The company
meanwhile were engaged in various
games. When the hostess signaIed,
the jar was brought in and passed
in review before every guest, who
made mental estimate Of the num-
Der of seeds it contained and record
ed his opinion upon a small yellow
tablet already furnished him, in
dorsing his count with his signature.
The tablets were afterWard collect
ed and the results announced. The
winner, who was the one, Of course,
whose guess came nearest the mum
Der of seeds, received a pretty lem
onade set, and the "booby" a lemon
squeezcr ornamented with a yellow
bow. Lemon cake, lemon jelly, lem

the refreshments, and every guest
on leaving was presented with a box
of lemon drops tied with yellow rib

A BRETON LEGEND.
Huge Granite 1owlders In Which Arc
Imprisoned Pagan Souls.

Over all the valley of Plouma-
mach, most thickly along its sea
edge, huge strange shaped powders
OF red granite are scattered singly
or are heaped up in wonderfully
balanced mounds. The mere geolo-
glst will tell you that these rounded
rocks have been dropped by a gla-
cler and that the valley is the site
of terminal moraine. Any well
uneducatcd Breton of course knows
that this explanation is all non
sense. My driver, being chcercd by
his pilgrim draft, gave me the more
satisfying information that in every
one Of these scattered powders is
imprisoned pagan soul; that thus
are held fast until the day Of judg-
mcnt the Brctons who rejected the
blessed teachings Of Christianity
and who paid for their stiff necked
SHINING by being cast into stone.
Once a year the cnchan.mcnt is
lifted. Then the accurscd ones re.
sumo their human forms and 90
down to the sea to drink-to drink
long and deeply, that they may lay
IN supply of dcliciously cold salt
water that will ease them through
their coming twelvcmonth of tor
mcnt in internal fires. On the night
of that great drinking it is well for
all good Christians to bide at home
behind barred doors. At cock crow
the accursed ones come back from
their sea cooling to the places where
they belong, changing from men
and women into rocks again as they
surge onward, and surely crushing
any spying mortal i'll their way.
Only one escape is recorded from |
the charge of that fearsomc compa-
ny, that of poor good man who in |
charity had carved on one of the en-
chantcd, rocks the blessed cross. In
gratitude for that loving act the
cross marked bowldcr, a monstrous
mlsshapcn mass, human form
partly merged again into rough
stone, halted before the poor good
man who had sought to comfort it
and so protected him until the evil
host, dividing, had passed on, and
he was saved. Then the grateful
one, carefully skirting him as he
lay on the ground in fainting terror,
went on also to its placc.-Thomas

STRANGE NESTING Place,

Some years ago an English track
worker left his empty dinner can
near the rails, and when he remcm-
bered to 20 back for it he discovered
it contained nest of eggs, right
there in all the confusion and crowd
of a station and the noise of passing
trains. The man was so amused
that, to his credit be it said, he gave
mp his can and left it in charge of
the little intruders.

Tho Jan Fan.

In Japan the use of the fan was
general from the sixth century to
comparatively recent days, when
every person, from the mikado on
his throne even down to the school
children, welded fan of special
design, according to rank, profess
sion or social standing. Lovers were
wont to exchange fans as tokens of
fidelity. The fan is still used by
umpires in wrestling and other
matches TO give emphasis to their
