A FRENCH GAM e.
"GenteeI Lady" Is Difficult, hut Az
fOrds PIenty of Fun.

"Genteel Lady" Is Difficult, but At
fords Plenty of Fun.
A French game called "genteel Ia
dy" affords much merriment for chill
dren. 1t is really quite difficult to play,
but as the fun arises from the mis-
takes it is worth trying. Some twist
ed papers, to represent horns, must be
provided, and the company are seated
in a semicircle, when the game is be-
gun by of the party turning to her
right hand neighbor and saying, Good
morning, genteel lady, always genteel,
l, a genteel lady, always genteel, come
from that genteel lady, always genteel
(here she points to the one on her left,
to tell you that she owns an eagle with
a golden beak."
The young lady bows and, turning
to her right hand neighbor, repeats
the same words, with a slight addition,
thus, "An eagle with a golden beak
and silver claws" If she makes any
mistake she must have a horn put in
her hair for each blunder. A boy may
have them fastened in his shirt collar
or lapel. If mistakes have been made,
the next speaker has to say, Good
morning. genteel lady, always genteel,
l, a genteel lady, always g%enteel, come
from that two horned lady, always
two horned, to tell you that she owns
an eagle with Il golden beak, silver
claws and a lace skim The phrase
must be altered to suit the number of
horns worn by the person on the left,
and the description of the eagle may
be extended indefinitely. Every mis-
take, whether of word or pointing in
the wrong direction or failing to point,
incurs a horn, and these horns can
only be removed as forfeits.

Hot Water In sickness.

No domestic remedy "a equal hot
water in cases of congestion of the
lungs, rheumatism or sore throat il
tried promptly and thoroughly. An
acute attack of Group will be usually
relieved in ten minutes if a towel or
strip of flannel folded %lengthwise and
dipped into hot water, then slightly
wrung out, be placed around the neck
Of the sufferer and covered so as to re-
tain the heat. The same placed over
the seat of pain will in most cases
quickly give relief in neuralgia and
toothache. and, laid over the stomach,
acts like magic in attacks of collie.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water
to the back of the neck and to the
feet.

Cleaning ~Statuetten.

Nothing takes the dust more freely
than plaster objects, more or less arts
tic, which are the modest ornaments
of our dwellings. They rapidly con
tract a yellow gray color of unpleasant
appearance. Here is a practical meth
cd for restoring the whiteness: Take
finely powdered starch, quite white,
and make a thick paste with hot wa
ter. Apply when still hot with a 1ex-
ible spatula or a brush on the plaster
object. The layer should be quite thick.
Let it dry slowly. On drying the starch
will split and scale off. All the soiled
parts of the plaster will adhere and be
drawn off with the scales.

way into the other pencil. Make a
loop in n end of the string and fasten
the other end to a nail in the top of the
door frame.
Insert the point of the first pencil
into the loop and balance the other
pencil on it's point on a fiat place
which you have made near the other
end of the first pencil.
This is all, and the pictures gives a
better idea of the arrangement than
the description does.
But you must be careful in putting
the parts together-careful to get them
just right and especially careful not
to cut yourself.
The distance of the knife points from
the pencil point depends on the size of
the knives and the angle they make
with each other, and after you have
got the balance almost right you can
make it perfect by having the knife
handles a little toward or from each
other and by moving the upright pencil
along the horizontal one.
When the balance is perfect you may
carefully set the whole affair turning
about the string, and it will continue to
revolve for a long time.-New York

Very Useful Dog.

A blacksmith had a forge for the
purpose of making nails for the
coarsest sort of shoes. The boy who
tended this forge made 1000 nails a
day, with some ones assistance. And
who do you suppose was his helper?
A dog!
This clever animal had been trained
to blow the bellows by Team of a
wheel attached to the crank. While
the iron was in the fire the dog would
blow the bellows. When it was taken
out he stopped to rest, commencing
again of his own accord when it was
put in again.
Would BE Quite Up to Date.

:" Acknowledged" Chickens
No More to Be Free to
the Preachers.

Rev. John Anderson, pastor Of
the M. E, church, South, of Mex
leo, said the other day that the Mis-
souri, conference, at is next meet
ing in Columbia, would abolish the
me-honored custom of entertain
ing the delegates at all future an
uual state meetings. 1t is believed
that this may be welcome news to
a great many Missourians who
have entertained Methodist preach
ers and delegates to their annual
gatherings in the hot seasons of
the year. There are others, howev-
er, who believe that the church is
getting away from the old customs
of Methodism, according to which
members considered it an honor to
fry acknowledged" chickens and
make custard pies for conference
delegates.
Rev. Mr.. Anderson's reason for
this announcements that the fol-
lowing committee has been APP
pointed to present to the coming
state meeting a plan for entertain
ment providing the necessary funds
to meet the required expense: G.
M. Bishop, St.Joseph; S. P. Gre
sap, Columbia; j. M. Gibson,
Richmond; B. j. Casteel, Judge of
the criminal Court Of st. Joseph;
Senator j. NJ. Proctor, Sturgeon,
aud H. p. Woodson, st. Joseph.
This committee has been appoint
ed on the authority of a resolution
passed by the last conference held
in Mexico.
The new plan is for the delegates
and preachers tc be the guests of
the Missouri conference. aud not
of the congregation in whose city
the session is held. Each church
will be assessed for the expenses
of its delegates and preachers.
