FOR THE CHILDREN
Fortune Telling Gypsy.

Have you ever played game called
fortune telling gypsyT' If not, you will
find it very entertaining. To make the
gypsy, you first cut out a piece OF
pasteboard perfectly round; divide
with pencil marks this circle into about
twenty or more equal parts. like the
spokes OF wheel. Place this piece OF
pasteboard on n standard a few inches
high; then either make or buy a small
wooden doll, which must be dressed
like gypsy.
Place this figure in the center OF the
circle on a wire or pivot. so that II
viii turn freely. The gypsy must have
o wand in her hand which points to
the figures on the disk.
Now prepare a lot Of cards, upon
each OF which you must write some
prophecy bearing the numbersSbn the
disk, such as No. 10. "You will be
successful in business" No. 10, "You
viii have a long life and merry one.'
The person whose fortune is to be
told must start the gypsy revolving on
the pivot. and when she stops her
wand will point TO one Of the mum
bers Then the card bearing that mum
Der must be given TO the player.
On this he reads his future

NODES OF THE MOMENT.

Chiffon frills to match the gown are
much used instead Of the lace frill.
Yokes, collars. cuffs, lapels and pan
els are embroidered in silks, spangles,
ribbons, beads and chenilles.
Travelling and walking gowns Of
covert cloth. short skirt and long jack
ct. are undeniably stylish and should
be very serviceable.
The fad fur this year is calfskin
Neck pieces, fiat, pillow shaped NUTS
and coat collars in this striking brown
and white fur are seen a great deal.
Fur and tulle will compose many
dress hats this winter The combina-
ton is certainly a rich one. Usually
these hats demand little trimming be-
yond a short plume or two or an
aigret
Heavy white cotton waists for cold
weather retain their vogue Linen
sheetlng of a heavy quality makes ex-
celent waists. With a bit of en-
broidery a handsome garment may be

seven nrodern wonaer..

The seven world wonders OF an
tiquity were the pyramids. Babylon's
gardens. Mausolus' tomb. the temple
OF Diana, the colossus Of Rhodes, Ju-
piter's statue by Phidias and the Pha-
ros Of Egypt. or. as some substitute,
the palace OF Cyrus.
The seven wonders Of the middle
ages were the coliseum Of Rome, the
catacombs Of Alexandria. the great
wall OF China, Stonehenge, the lean
ing tower Of Pisa, the porcelain tower
OF Nankin and the mosque OF st. So
phia at COnstantinople.
How will these compare with the
seven wonders Of the modern world
Perhaps there may be n difference OF

The utter indifference toward death
is part of the Japanese soldiers train
ing, as shown in Golfers the great war
weekly for November 8. 1t says:
When Admiral Togo was young, he
and his fellow students at the naval
academy in Japan are said to have
practiced an entertainment that would
hardly be approved I'm our world. They
sat at a circular table. I'm the middle OF
which was a cannon, which revolved
slowly, on a level with their heads. At
some moment or other the cannon was
discharged. from a spring outside the
hall. The ball might pass between two
heads. or it might remove any guest
OF the cheerful banquet True or not,
the story sketches graphically the
fighting spirit Of Japan. 1t is in line
with hari-karL II may not be our view
OF morals or civility, but it surely en-
courages the soldier spirit. All Jap
anese life has "a trend in this direction
that we should hardly initiate even II
we knew it would multiply our fighting
powers. Woman in Japan leads a sup
pressed. cruelty dominated, and inferior
existence. treated, by her master as
Americans treat q dog or cat; loved,
perhaps. or rejected, from the veriest
caprice The japanese believe that to
allow women as large a share Of iniiu-
ence as we allow them would mean a
llessening Of virility in the men, a
greater tenderness. a growing fear of
suffering and death. Soon or late, we
fancy, Japan will in this respect be al
tered by intercourse with the world.
Women will count in her fibre and
opinion. hari-kari viii disappear and
future Togos viii lack the training
given by feastlng in the face Of wilful
death.

represented in the Christmas Scribner' S

Do you know how TO balance a china
plate on the point Of a needle and even
to cause It TO spin steadily upon this
delicate support?
Cut two corks down the middle, and
in the ends OF the four halves thus OBJ

smooth sides Of the corks at a little
less than right angles.
Place these four corks around the
rim of the plate at equal distances from
one another, and see that the teeth OF
the forks are I'm contact with the rim.
to prevent them from swaying
With a little care this plate can
now be balanced on the point OF a
needle whose eye. has been buried in
the cork of an upright bottle.
BY giving 1t gentle rotary motion
the plate may be made to spin around,
which it will do for quite a long time.

Game OF Rnindron..

A picturesque and interesting game
is known as raindrops. Sides are
chosen by two leaders, who arrange
their players at either end Of the room.
A net of white tarlatan is stretched
across the center OF the room. and n
small table or stand is placed on each
side about four feet from the net. On
each OF these tables is an iridescent
glass finger bowl filled with soapy
water All the children are provided
with soap bubble pipes tied with rain
bow colored ribbons. Seven children
on one side Of the net try 10 blow
their bubbles across to the opposite
side. while their seven opponents must
prevent them from coming over by
breaking them with their pipes before
they cross the net. The next seven
bubbles are blown by the other side,
and the game goes on until ten bub-
bles have been put across by either one
OF the sides.

Winter Hats

The hat is perhaps one Of the most
salient features of the seasons fash
ions, and well it might be. Never have
such stunning models been placed at
the disposal of women of all ranks and
positions, and those models which have
arrived from Paris are being copied in
all colors and materials and are equally
as handsome as the original ones. The
millinery business is being run under
the most favorable circumstances, and
although the weather has been rather
warm for this time Of year, women have
not forgotten that they require winter
hats. The DirectOire and Gaines
borough are among the most fashion,

oottopseea Meal For Cattle.

1 have been feeding meal and hulls
as a fattening ration TO keep cattle
for fifteen or twenty years, says a
Texas farmer in Farm and Ranch.
Think very highly Of it. When 1 get
my cattle on full feed Of meal and
hulls generally give them a pound Of
meal to four pounds of hulls thorough
ly mixed. Have had some very salts
factory experience in feeding corn
chops in connection with meal and
hulls. Thirty pounds hulls, five pounds
cottonseed meal and three pounds
chops make an ideal feed for a thou
sand pound steer. He ought to gain two
pounds a day, and a hundred days
feeding will finish him.

To Keep Hog Feed warn.

Many farmers i'm cold regions have no
means for keeping swill or milk warm
in cold weather, but an ingenious
farmer once showed the editor his way
Of solving that problem: Around a cask
was built a box as high as the cask
aud with its sides about eighteen
inches from the cask all round. The
space was packed solldly with fresh
but strawless horse excrement When
the device was shown the outdoor
temperature was % degrees below
zero. but the swill in the cask was 6T
degrees. a very agreeable temperature
for hog feed on such a day. Here was
knowledge put in practice Farm.

Use bedding AbundantIy.

Cold weather is coming and animals
where confined in stables or pens will
need more bedding, says American Cul-
tivator. 1t will pay to keep them abun-
dainty supplied, as this is not only
for the comfort OF the animals, but for
the value of the manure heap. With
plenty Of manure and other things in
proportion there is hardly limit to the
productive capacity of the soil; at least
it is seldom reached. Every farmer
realizes the necessity of having more
manure, and one way to secure it is by
providing an abundant supply Of alb
sorbing material. Even If there ap.
pears to be a large proportion Of this
material in the manure, making il
strawy and coarse. it can be plowed
under and will answer an excellent pur
pose. as there is need Of more humus
in most Of our soils.

able and popular ones at the present
time, and they offer such splerelid pos
sibilities that one can hardly resist
buying one whether becoming or other
wise. Plumes in all colors and lengths
are being worn to a great extent, as
are also the Paradise bird and the
coque plume. Ribbons are brought into
important play and they follow closely
the popularity of the plumes. The Ma
poleon shape for the walking hat is ex-
tremely chic and most becoming to
those who are wearing their hair parted
and because Of their non requirement
of trimming women who are engaged in
business should take TO them. One Of
the most fashionable of milllners states
that no woman can even hope to be
smartly gowned this winter II she does
not wear a white hat. They are fore
most in color and are TO be dOnned with
all suits. OF course, milady win wear
nothing else to the theatre and for
evening year, but IL is imperative that
every woman should have at least one
white hat included in her wardrobe.
Gorgeous effects are achieved by the
combination of black and white. In
fact, there are several society women
who are effecting these two for their
winter wardrobe, and they are looked
upon as the best dressed women in the
smart set. It will take no experienced
person to fathom out the reason Of this
verdict, as women could possibly look
no better when they are gowned in
black and white. White French beaver
hats, trimmed with huge ostrich plumes
are among the handsomest of models
and also black shapes carry out the ef-
feet to good advantage. Ostrich tips
are also worn considerably, and they
are one of the trimmings used this fall
that are not difficult to adjust. They
are at the same time extremely dressy
and tailored looking, and one may fee
perfectly comfortable whether dressed
for shopping or for the so-called fancy
attire. Hats that turn up in the bach
are worn to a large extent, and they
are, to be sure, a relief to those which
have been in vogue so long.

How to Tan sheep PeIts.


A competent furrier gives the fol
lowing simple process for tanning the
sheep pelts. says National Stockman.
This process may be used for tanning
any other fur skin. Wash the pelt
well in warm water with soapsuds un-
til the wool is thoroughly cleansed.
Rinse il well. Soak il for one day in
a solution or alum and salt, using eight
ounces Of each IN enough water TO
cover the pelt. Strain well and stretch
On a board. When the pelt is half dry
sprinkle the flesh side of the pelt with
equal parts Of pulverized alum and
salt. Fold together and let II remain
indoors for a week. turning it twice a
day to get the alum and saltpeter
equally upon all parts OF the skin sur
face. When well dried rub the flesh
surface well with pumice stone. This
will make the skin substance soft and
white This completes the tanning
process.

Re.t Egg Preserverr.

In a test with various egg preserva-
tives at the Ontario station the two
leading successful substances We're
limewater and glasswater solution.
Eggs put up in limewater scored Al
out Of a possible 90. and those in
water glass in proportion Of one part
TO seven Of water scored 1872 out of a
possible 80. The addition of salt to
the limewater failed to secure as good
results as the limewater alone, and
CREASED eggs put up in salt were not
equal to the others mentioned.

TO Increase the Durability of Oilcloth.-
The durability and brightness of oilcloth
are INCREASED by a coat of varnish semi
annually or by rubbing over with kerosene
once a. month.
To Cleanse Glass cleanse glass vases.
carafes or bottles of any sort nothing is
better than a little muriatic acid. A table,
spoonful rinsed slowly around in a vase
or decanter will cleanse it thoroughly, re-
moving from the glass every particle Of
foreign matter. The acid can then be
poured into another vase to perform the
same office. and even returned to the
bottle of supply for service on another
occasion. After the acid is out Of the
vase or bottle the latter must be rinsed
inside thoroughly. first with hot soapsuds
and then in several clear waters. Muriatic
acid is a deadly poison, and must be used
Iiwith great caution.
To Remove old Paint Stains from Cloth.
Paint stains that are dry and old may
be removed from cotton or woollen goods
with chloroform. First cover the spot
with olive oil or butter.
Vegetables in the Cellar.-An vegetables
keep better at a low temperature and, ex-
cepting in the severest weather, the cellar
window may be kept open during the
day, at least. if it is on the south side.
It also helps to keep the cellar sweet and
fresh. There is no need of an ill-smelling
cellar. Vegetables properly buried and an
open window in all suitable weather will
prevent unsavory odors. Have regular
; time for closing the window.
To Prevent Baked Potatoes Bursting
If potatoes are pricked before baking
that the air can escape. they will not
/ burst I'm the oven.
To Restore a Parquet Floor.--Mop the
floor with a caustic soda lye. Do not
wash with the hands, as the lye will in
jure them. The lye may be made by
mixing a teacupful of calcined soda
(soda powdered by exposure to the air)
and the same Of slalSed lime with fifteer
cupfuls Of hot water When the floor is
almost dry scrub it with fine sand anC
warm water to remove the numerous lay
ers Of old polishing wax and the accumu
lations of dust. Then. after it has dried
wet it all over with brush dipped in 4
mixture Of one part of sulphuric acid t.
eight parts of water. When this also ha
dried, scrub the floor with clean water
and wipe it, 1t will look, when thorough.
dry, like new wood it's color being per

wholly removed. Wax may then be ap

Beef meal is made from scraps OF
meat and bone from which the grease
has been extracted and the liquors
concentrated by cooking. The residue
is then pressed, dried, ground and put
i'm 100 pound sacks. II contains about
60 per cent protein and g or o per cent
fat. Beef meal is fed TO hogs with
