small, light sticks about two feet long
each and fasten a string a yard long to
an end of each.
The player holds the oSher ends OF
the sticks, one in each hand, allowing
the string to rest on a table. He then
places the double cone near the right
hand stick at the middle joint where
the cones are joined. The illustration
will show you how they are joined
The cone having been placed near the
stick ON the right, the player lifts that
stick steadily, and the cone begins to
revolve and run down the string. Now
toss the cone up a little way and bring
the string back to its original position,
and the cone will continue to revolve
Repeat this slight movement until the
cone is revolving rapidly.
As you acquire skill with II you may
toss the cone high into the air and
catch it spinning on the taut string ol
you may make it run up the stick tC
your arm.
Don't be discouraged If you cannot
do this at first. Keep at 1t, and it vii
give you more fun than spinning toI
ever did when you become expert. Va
rious other feats with it will sugges
themselves when you have become suf
ficiently skillful.

inch frilled circle on top, tiny silver
pellets forming & flower every half
inch. The edge was finished with frills,
as was also the base. A frill was shap-
ed in festoons around the sides, with
rosettes and silver pellets as a finish.
A silver tray covered with a lace paper
dolly held the cake.
The groom's cake may be made at

when that is dry, placing another COW

as each slice is cut a perfect frill goes
with it. This is also an excellent guide
to the one who monipulates the knife.
If the wedding decorations have been
arranged in special colors, the icing Of
the groom's cake may reflect these in
such combinations as green and white,
pink and white, yellow and white, vio-
let and white. In each case the icing
must be distinctive in favor.

The Quarrel Room.

In one Of Kipling's railroad stories
the manager of a great freight termi-
nal was described as moving TRANQUILITY
about, humming the words of an old
hymn which told Of green fields and
murmuring brooks, while trains rolled
in and out hundred tracks subject to
his direction, tralnmen besieged him
for orders and explanations and swear
ing truckmen crowded around him for
orders and privileges. His was the
blessed calm Of a May morning amid
distractions and responsibilities which
would drive some men mad. He was
man Of self control.
We need, some Of us do, more Of the
railroad managers calm in the life Of
the home. The table, Of all places,
should be free from contention and
fret The stomach Of the angry person,
the worried or the unhappy, does not
perform its work well. The person who
is possessed Of a Crouch should be
obliged to take his meals alone until
his malady is cured.
Why not, in every home, a quarreling
room, set apart for those to go who are
III natured and a severe penance de-
manded from each and every one found
"grouchy" outside Of It? And for the
settlement OF family disputes? The
walls should be padded-no windows OF
frail furniture, and, of course, no brio
a-brac. Some comfortable but station
airy chairs ike those in a dentists Of
fee would make the room both safC
and habltable.-Good Housekeeping.

CAKE FOR A WEDDING.

The wedding Cake, the Brides
Cake and the GrOom's Cake.
Very often the names wedding
cake" brides cake" and ~ 'groom's
cake" become confused. Eaclcake has
its distinctive use and should be called
by its correct appellation, as the New
Idea Magazine makes plain in the fol-
lowing:
A wedding cake is a dark fruit mix
ture and is distributed to the guests
who are hidden to the occasion. The
brides cake Is a white loaf, favored
with almond and distributed only to
the attendants of the bride. 1t usually
conceals a ring, which falls to one Of
the attendants when the cake is cut
The groom's cake is what is known as
a white fruit loaf and when used is cut
by the groom and distributed to the
guests by the best man.
A portion Of the wedding cake should
be made into an iced loaf and cut by
the bride at the table, where 1t graces
the center, while the remainder should

tributed in these to the guests as they
leave.
A dark fruit cake should be at least
twelve weeks old before cutting, SO
that those who have charge Of nuptial
events should be careful to make this
important part Of the repast in time.
Small silver pellets and ornaments
may be purchased of the confectioner
which win help the home cake maker
to turn out as handsome a confection
as the high priced caterer.
Piping and star tubes, costing q
cents for a set of six, will be found a
wise purchase, although piece Of stih
paper turned into a cornucopia vii

which have so long been associated
with the wedding cake. The decora
tions on the wedding cake illustrated
were placed by the aid Of a paper cor

The cake was first covered with {

An EIenhnnt ana nn I.ion.

In the jungles Of India there lived an
elephant who showed a wonderful sa-
gacity and mother love for its or
spring. One day the baby elephant
wandered away from its mother, who
showed her uneasiness at its absence.
Reaching the top Of a hill, she saw her
darling quietly browsing at the foot,
while stealing along at no great dis
tance was an enormous lion. The
mother was at her wits ends. She
realized that the baby would not have a
ghost Of a chance against the hunger
of the lion, who every moment was
drawing nearer to its desired end. The
lion halted a moment directly beneath
the place where the helpless mother
stood More quickly than it can be
told the elephant rolled herself into a
huge ball and rolled down the hill. The
lion never knew what struck him. His
feelings were completely crushed, while
the baby elephant was led home, where
he no doubt got a severe scolding.

rnninr church nelIn.

The bellmakers were finishing a huge
bell for a magnificent church. Beside
them stood a piano. One struck a note
Of music from the instrument; the 9th
er struck the bell blow with a ham
mer.
"Cla-a-ngr' sounded the mellow met
al, and the man beside the bell took up
his tools and Clipped a small piece
from its edge.
"shll too high" he said. "Now, once
more, George"
Again the piano was struck, and
again the bell was struck.
"Stlll high" said the workman, and
he carefully Clipped of another piece
of metal
won't you ruin that bell, chipping

'Why, bless you, no sir" said the
bellmaker. "You always have to chip
a bell to bring it to the required tone
Every bell. after it's done, has to be

SILK brand is a favorlte decoration
for many toilets in lainage and drap
souple, while delicate silk lace is chief
ly used as a garniture on voile, taffetas
and mousseline dresses.
Later in the season many charming
toilets Of white pompadour and print
ed with small sprig will be particu-
larly popular
Irish lace, embroidered linen and rib
bon trimming are artistically introduc-
ed on toilettes de fete.
A boned corset cover is almost a
necessity for the stout woman, who
would achieve the neat and trim figure
now a requisite Of fashion.
Light summer materials are Of en-
broidered batiste, printed linon. voile,

COLOR ON WALLS.

influence OF Certain Hues - some
Agreeable Schemes.
It is not generally known how great
is the influence Of light and color on
the human system or that certain col
ors are beneficial and others perniclous
and irritating in their effects on the
nerves, says the Ladies' World. A
room is made beautiful and restful by
judlcious and artistic scheme Of col
oring, and such results are oftener at
tanned by smooth surfaces on which a
beautiful color is laid than where wall
papers are used. One reason FOR this
Is that there are so few really artistic
papers. The patterns are either small
and disconnected, and therefore spotty,
or else they are too large, struggling
and too pronounced In coloring. Note
the papers OF this season especially
huge peoples, heroic sized roses, each
individual flower pretty enough In II
self-but who desires hundreds and
thousands of repeats staring at one all
over ones walls? A smooth, clean col
OF on the wall Is a relief. Then, too,
It is more sanitary and cleanly. Nel.
ther need one forego decoration. The
stenciled frlezes are so pleasing, and
the design may show more than one
color on a ground differing from the
main wall.
Light Giving CoIOrs.
Light giving colors are the most
healthful, and these include all the vel
lows and all the colors in degree which
have yellow in their composition. Vel
low has many beautiful shades; indeed
the choice is very wide. Yellow espe
cially suits rooms Of northern exposure

A GnIh Mine In Hnt..

Caricaturists have a gold mine pros
pectively in the lately launched polo
or box turban expected to go through
the season. The ways Of its wearing
will be many, and the proportion Of
size Of the hat to the avoirdupois of
the woman who is sure to take a
fancy to it is beyond calculation. There
is no law governing the fit Of any hat
this season. All that is demanded of
the wearer is that the hat is to perch
