An autumn bride-elect was the guest
of honor at this pretty afternoon affair.
The hostess asked eight of her special
friends for the hours between three and
six o'clock. At the top of the invita-
ton she wrote these clever lines with
the request for the recipe of favorite
salad:
Two choice cuts of energy,
And eggs of hard cold caste:
- Add freely oil diplomacy"
With salt of tact a dash.
Bedeck with leaves of cheerfulness,
And pepper we'll with nerve;
Behold your salad of success is ready;
Stir and serve.
After all the guests had arrived, each
one was ushered separately into the IL
brary, where pens of various styles had
been provided, with good black ink and
a little book which was illustrated with
1en and ink drawings of the new house:
wife performing various duties in the
kitchen. When each recipe had been
written and signed, the book was given
to the honored guest and delicious
salad Of the hostess own connection was
served; also cheese waters and coffee,
which was made in Russian samovar
in the drawing room. Here is the recipe
for the salad: Take stringless beans,
small French peas, dice carrots, sus-
picion of onion, little celery; marini-
ate with a French dressing or mayon-
aise, according to taste. Serve on let
tuce leaf or in small sweet pepper.

Game of Duplicate Letters.

Here is game that can be started at
a moments notice anywhere and that
will make fun for many a quarter of
an hour that otherwise would lag.
One girl propounds question such
as:
"If 1 were a lamp post, what would
you do with meY
The girl whose turn is next must an
swer with n sentence that shall have
at least three words in it that begin
with the same letter as the noun clamp
post" For instance, she might reply:
81 would leap Loyalty to light you"
The next girl may ask:
"Will you lend me a dollars"
The reply may be:
II dare say 1 would donate it IL /
were not so dolefully poor"
The answers that are made on the
spur of the moment are often so lu-
dicrous that they would make an owl

ANIMAL WONDERS.
The Way Some wild Creatures Hide
From Their Enemies.


Nature has strange and wonderful
ways of helping her wild creatures to
protect themselves from their enemies.
She teaches them how to hide so that
hardly the sharpest eye can discover
their whereabouts, even though they
are not covered up at all There is a
bird-its name is ptarmigan-which in
the winter time wears pure white plum
age, so that when the snow is on the
ground the bird can hardly be distin-
guished from it. In summer time the
ptarmigan grows a new set of feath-
ers which exactly match the dull
mOsses and weeds where it is usually
to be found. There are birds nests
which are so like the tree limbs that
hold them as to deceive the keenest
eye, and other nests closely resemble
the MOSES or the ground upon which
they rest. Insects there are, too, no
end of them, which are to be found, if
one has the skill to see them, upon
foliage or branches having exactly the
same coloring as themselves. One of
the most curious of these creatures
which are so well protected by their
coloring from discovery is a butterfly
discovered by Il naturalist in the jun
giles of Borneo. When flying it shows
the most brilliant hues upon its wings,
but when it settles upon a bush 1t can
scarcely be distinguished from the
leaves about il.

HOW TO HOLD THE DICE.

to do this by throwing the die upward
as you threw the first one you may
catch it in the cup all right, but at the
same time you will be pretty sure to
throw the first one out of the cup. AS
for catching both together as they come
down, you will find that almost impossi-
bic. The proper way to get the second
die into the cup without losing the
one that is already there is to let your
hand drop suddenly, at the same time
letting so the die which you have been
holding
The die will drop, too, but not as
rapidly as your hand, so that you will
have no difficulty in getting the cup
under it and catching it.

Fish and the sixth Sense.

1t is stated that there are some indi-
cations that fishes possess a sixth
sense, the organs of which are the
pores Of the head and of the lateral
band. This band is row of little ca
nails connected with the external world
by holes through the scales. In these
cavities, under which runs n large
nerve, are found nerve heads or termi-
nations like those Of other sense or
gans. The use Of this apparatus is un-

Big Ball and More Hits Is Sug-
gested by a Fan.
He Suggests Slight Increase in
Diameter OflSphere.
no BALK THE TIIiWIRLER
Enthusiastic Thinks His Plan
Would Solve Problem.
Hart Says a Change of Size
Would Ruin Every Arm.

Chicago, Feb. 1o.-"I have a sugges-
ton to make which might solve the
pitcher problem in the big baseball
leagues of the day. said an old-tiine
baseball man this morning.
1T concerns the size of the ball. Esv-
cry baseball man understands that the
pitchers have it on the batters They
have been the most legislated against
body of athletes in the world and
through it all they have bloomed and
come again and retained their ability
to keep the batters from reaching the
ball for the hits that make the scores
big Personally I am not sure that the
game needs over-much hitting. I think
the American mind appreciates and de-
mands the close, 1ow-score game, with
its chances for sudden and swift
change always on tap.
4 would increase the size of the ball
used by the ball players from an eighth
70 a quarter Of an inch in diameter.
The reasons for this are that / believe
it would make more difficult the curv-
ing of the ball Every ball player knows
that small ball. like a boys league
ball for instance, viii take some Won
hand He knows. too, that the larger
the ball the more difficult this becomes.
When this is mentioned to old
crusty ball players they will innmedi-
ateIy scott at the idea. They will call
attention to the fact that it would ne
cessitate a new wear and tear of the
throwing muscles of the arm. That
arms would break down under the
strain of throwing a heavier ball; that
it would bungle the fielding and that
highland pitchers, taking the place of
average mortals, would soon have the
game as we'll in hand as at present.
In answer to all these objections I
will tell one story of an actual expert
ence in one of the big leagues. You may
not know that it is commonly reported
that the makers of basebalIs select for !
the big leagues the finest balls in stock, |
necessarily. These baseball men are in
the business and know what they want |
and get it, They want the cover of the |
ball of skin from the neck of the ami |
NAL it is taken from-that is the thin |
portion That is why on a big league |
ball you can almost look through the |
cover and see the threads beneath.
Other balls covered with skin that is !
thicker go into the general trade I'M
derstand. I understand. too, that there |
is enough difference in balls in the |
trade to make from an eighth |
to a quarter of an inch difference in
the size Of the different balls. Now, if /
the amateurs of the country get these
larger balls, do you see what a shade
the big league professionals have over
the youngsters?
This will prove it, believe. All

present at the NJ. E. church last Sun
DAY night and heard all that Rev. Ma
son said.
IT do not know Miss Early said Mr..
Curtis, but from what heard Mason
say in the pulpit, 1t is my opinion all
who are not acquainted with the lady
would have left the church with the
impression she was a disreputable char
acter, untitled to associate with respee-
table people. Had he been talking
about my sister in that manner i be-
lieve would have gone forward and
have endeayored to choke the words
down his throat. I never heard such a
TRADE of abuse from a pulpit before.
Mason said it was true decent girls
went to dancing schools, perhaps, but
they did not come away decent. and ne
made suggestive illusions to women
laying in the arms Of men, etc, at
balls. He also referred to Miss Early's
dancing school as being a hell on
earth. cannot .~-~.4ect all he said,
but 1t was a shame, and most abOmina-
BILE to me-
There have been many stories ahoat
of dissension in the church on account
of Rev. Mason's policy. At the annual
congregations meeting of the church,
held a few weeks ago, for the purpose
OF electing officers, it is stated by MEM
bers of the church that Rev Mason
presented the list Of nominations, as
was his right: but it is said also the
preacher, before a vote was taken, in
formed the congregation the list as
presented by him was the only one
which would be satisfactory. But the
church people, recollecting that their
institution was founded on democratic
principles, the same as the government,
proceeded to smash the ''slate," and
elected a board OF trustees reported to
be unfavorable to Rev. Mason's reten-
ton here by the next conference.
The difficulty arising from the action
at this meeting resulted in its becoming
necessary for the presiding elder Of the
district to be called to settle the mat
ter.

been circulated to such an extent they

matter of regret to the Reporter, and

but pleasant or unpleasant the public

Furthermore restaurant and hotel
keepers may have to raise the price
on fried eggs or scratch such from
their bills of fare altogether.
Report has it that all of the cold
storage eggs are gone. for which some
people will give thanks, and that the
only source of supply now for the city
people is the helpful hen of the coun-
try adjacent to Leavenworth. But
farmers have a hard time getting to-
gether enough eggs to supply their
own tables and few OF them care to
sell them at any price.
However, it is said the hens will
commence laying again. as soon as the
weather becomes warmer and Febru-
airy, always the bad egg" month, will
have to give way to March, with plenty
of hen fruit in sight and cheaper
prices for the same.
A reporter made inquiries concern
ing the supply of eggs at a number Of
downtown groceries Yesterday The
prices quoted on eggs were the same
in every instance. 35 cents per dozen
for packed eggs and 40 cents for the
fresh product. At that 1t is doubtful
whether all the eggs retailed as fresh
are strictly so.
