g BUMP" PARTIES.
Fad In Entertainments Where Club
Women Have Head Readings.


Bump" parties are a new form of
entertainment adopted by women's
clubs this season that bids fair to rival
whist and bridge-that is, II all are as
successful as the one given the other
afternoon by the press committee OF
the Rainy Day club In the home of
Mrs. Thomas H. Whitney All West
End avenue, New York.
Bump" parties are entertaining, even
exciting. The diversion is created by a
woman phrenologist. who takes herself
very seriously, says the New York
Herald. IL husbands of members of
the Rainy Day club are importuned to
build houses regardless of cost, so that
the mistress may have an opportunity
to decorate the interior and prove her
artistic temperament, they need not be
surprised, for it will only be another
evidence of the effect Of the bump
party.
One Daisy Of uncertain age was
warned not to marry by the phrenolo-
gist. Don't you marry; don't even
consider 1t until you are really ready
she was told, "for it would be a pity
for you to make a mistake and wed too
soon or get the wrong man."
Another prominent member was star
tied by hearing the reader say after
carefully rubbing the bumps" on her
head, you have robbed some one, and
IL there had been a twin l should feel
sorry for It." This same woman was
told to write. even If she awakened in
the middle Of the night, for the phren-
ologist knew by the size of the Jumps
that the woman had genius with her
pen, ani so she must hold herself con-
stantly in readiness for any inspiration.
you are cold and reticent," said the
reader to another woman, land 1t took
your husband years to make an impress
sion"
Six" declared the subject amid
shouts ofIlaughter from the other mem
bers.
"You nre still inclined to keep your
own counsel," continued the phrenolo-
gist. 'G)r you tell your husband only
such things you think best for him
to know
In the midst of one flattering reading
the subject f3ew red and quite con-
fused and finally announced that the
''bump," being felt, was not a real one,
but piece of padding that kept up her
pompadour. There Is but one undesira-
BILE feature ITO such entertainments, and
that Is that the most elaborate Golf
fures are disarranged by the hands Of
the phrenologist as she works over a
bump" Of affection or tries to find a
lump of genius or point Of locality,
and sidecombs and jeweled ornaments
are sacrificed.

"BOWL Al IT."

A Sport invented by wisconsin Man
to Rival Bowling.
A game that is planned to rival the
popular sport Of bowling is the latest
thing that has been patented to inter-
est the large class looking for amuse-
ment, says st. Paul correspondent Of
the Kansas City Times. The game has
been named bowl at it" by the invent
or, DR.. Franklin Nj. Greer of Mionna,
Wis, and will very shortly be placed
upon trial In the home town of the In
ventor and also In st. Paul. The In
ventor does not contend 1t will take The
place of bowling, but says the game
will prove a great favorite with the la
dies and children and men who are I'M
able to take up the strenuous work of
ordinary bowling. The game promises
to become favorite ut resorts, hotels,
clubs and Y. NJ. G. A. buildings.
The game is played on an alley SINH
lar to the regular bowling alley, being
three feet wide and forty-two feet In
length. and derives It's name through
the fact that those who play the game
must bowl ball ut large revolving
wheel ut the business end Of the alley,
or where the pins are placed in bowl
ing. The wheel revolves by means of
an eight horsepower electric motor and
Is fitted with hinged paddles, numbered
2, 4, G, and 10. The balls, which are
four and one-haf inches In diameter,
when rolled at the wheel strike the
paddles, and the ones hit are forced
back and up out Of sight, and the play

The numbers are SO arranged on the
wheel as to make it impossible for n
player. throwing three balls an inning
in Il ten inning game, to make a score
higher than 200. The perfect bowler in
the new sport Is required to judge the
speed of his Or her ball, the speed Of
the revolving wheel as well as the
curvature of the alley, which is Of such
n nature rs to conform with the wheel
SO as to bring FIVE of the paddles on the
alley before the ball at one time.
The balls is they pass through the
wheel strike q cushion back on the
wheel and return through n gutter to
the players, it being on a slight angle
for this purpose. The paddles sprung
by player may be adjusted In the
wheel again by simply pulling a lever
at the front Of the alley, doing away
with an attendant or pin boy.

In Glassport, Pa, the authorities
have begun "A campaign against those
who use profane language on the
streets or III public places, and a novel
plan has been adopted, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The officers have
been furnished with tablets and pen
cils to keep tab on all the swear words
and profanity they hear, and a fixed
list of fines has been SO arranged rs to
make the punishment fit the crime"
For mild brands a fine OF 40 cents has
been fixed, and for stronger brands the
users Will have to pay G7 cents each.
Whether tho scheme will have the de
sired effect remains TO be proved.

BARROW RIDE ON TACKS.
A Little Addition to the Method OF
Paying an Election bet.

A Little Addition to the Method OF
Paying an Election bet.
John Cuckschwerdt of New York, an
ex-policeman. wheeled his $50 pound
friend. William Herlihy, also of New
York, five blocks In a wheelbarrow the
other night. 1t was the payment of a
wager, and before Cuckschwerdt had
made good there nearly was a riot
says the New York Times. The route
designated in the wager was that the
loser should roll the winner up Am
sterdam avenue from One Hundred
and Fiftieth to One Hundred and Fif-
ty-fifth street.
At 7 o'clock the two men met at One
Hundred and Fiftieth street to settle
the bet. At One Hundred and Fifty
second street, in front Of the police
station, the wheeibarrow became wob-
bly,, and Herlihy was spilled into the
road. Before he got back somebody
slyly dropped handful of tacks into
the barrow. A moment later a howl
which could be heard for nearly a mile
and a half rent the air. Herlihy had
felt every tack.
1t took ten minutes to quiet big Mr.
Herlihy and five more to pick the tacks
out of his trousers. Finally, when the
police officially pronounced the wheel
barrow free of tacks, he climbed back
and was rolled to the END Of the jour
ney, greatly to the relief of Cuck-
schwerdt.

Which Is Wiser!

A farmer becomes anxious about
the future of his family and he takes
out am insurance policy, paying
thereon an annual premium which
perhaps he cannot very well say he
has not done wisely. Life is uncer-
tain. and it seems to US if anything
could make a thoughtful husband
and father lie uneasy in his grave ii
is the leaving of dependent ones UNI
proved for at the mercy of adverse
fate.
Another farmer sees conditions
.yshat make his struggle for success
an almost hopeless one. and involves
the future of his family in doubt.
He seizes upon the means of charg-
ing the conditions so as to assure
his own success and bring him means
to enjoy with his family means to
enable him to so direct his efforts as
to bring him independence and place
the future of his family entirely be-
yond the reach of doubt. And it
costs him very little to do little
effort and less money organization
to control his products and make
his business profitable.
Admit that both of these parties
do wisely which is the wiser.
